[center][color=orangered]Makoto Nanaya[/color] It was a relatively sunny day. Believe it or not, Makoto had mostly grown accustomed to living in Ayumu Town. She had been offered a free apartment by a generous landlady, and all seemed to be doing fine. Well... the apartment wasn't totally free. Makoto acted as a bouncer or security guard of sorts for the complex, fighting off unwanted intruders. Whenever there was a disturbance, she was called down to take care of the undesirables. Although not incredibly luxurious, the apartment she lived in wasn't terrible. It was very clean and the conditions there were good. Still, she had the day off. And she hadn't of checked the guild out yet. It was rumored to be a source of information, and it also paid a pretty penny to anyone willing to take on a quest. She had no idea what "quests" included, but she was sure that she could handle them if she tried hard enough! Makoto walked through the colorful streets of Ayumu. Vendors were clustered around and people were chattering in a friendly manner. It was a far cry from the red light district, where one wrong move could potentially get you beheaded by a mugger. Makoto was tough, though. She had been able to handle herself so far. Nothing would stop her from carrying on as usual. Still, she missed her friends, and routinely wondered how they were. She had visited two of the other towns, but had not seen anyone familiar. It was very discouraging to not have any friends around her in this new environment. Still, she figured she'd get along just fine. As she was wrapped up in her thoughts, she failed to notice Mega Man walking by with his robotic companion. She bumped into him and stumbled, almost toppling over, before gracefully regaining her footing and turning to greet him with a smile. He was certainly an odd, robotic-looking fellow. At least he didn't seem as hostile or threatening as any other robots she had encountered in the past. "Sorry!" She swiftly apologized. "Wasn't looking too closely at where I was going." [@CallMeChaotix] [color=red]Adlet Mayer[/color] Adlet Mayer, besides being the "Strongest Man in the World", was a man of constant movement. After arriving in the new, odd dimension, he had been quite shocked. But, he had quickly settled in, taking the life of a traveler as he had in his home world. As of now, he was wandering through a lush forest, on his way to the town of Ayumu. He had been taking odd jobs, and one of them had been a delivery mission. He had been hired by a merchant in Ayumu to deliver a package to a customer in the city of Chou, otherwise known as the city of radiant flowers and butterflies. It had been rather easy. Besides the muggers who had attacked him on his way. But even that hadn't been too terrible. He had come out mostly unscathed, after all. He hummed a cheery tune, but halted upon seeing an odd glimpse of color, out of place within the forest of greens. Immediately, he ducked behind a large tree, watching as a young-looking woman busily worked to collect some sort of fungi. He eyed her curiously, wondering if he should speak up or not. But by the time he was close to making up his mind, she was already on her way to leave! He stealthily tailed her. She seemed to have a destination in mind... Maybe he should just leave her be? But what if she had no idea on where civilization was? There was so much he wanted to know--but no way of find out unless he spoke to her. "Hey!" He decided to speak up, calling out in a way that wasn't too harsh in terms of tone. [@kusanagifire] [/center]
