week 0; post-npc reveal

[exercisms]

[That afternoon, after meeting the NPCs, Mob can be found out near the forest, walking around like he's looking for something.]

[recrowns]

[soo-won is taking a stroll, and he does appear a little bit lost in thought. there's probably the cry of a hawk in the distance.

though he notices mob and offers a curious smile]

Searching for something, young man?

[exercisms]

[Nodding. He hasn't talked to this guy yet, but he's come to expect that most people he does talk to will be very friendly.]

Did you see a cat run this way?

[recrowns]

I'm afraid not.

[but that's concerning, hm.]

Did you lose your pet? What does the cat look like?

[exercisms]

No, it isn't mine.

[But. It's a little complicated.]

It's white. It's okay - I think it's only hiding somewhere.

[recrowns]

Is it someone else's pet?

[he hums thoughtfully before - ]

Perhaps, but let's go take a look just in case. Let me pull my friend from the sky before we have an accident.

[which is all the warning that mob gets before soo-won wanders off to the side and lifts his hand to the sky, using his other hand to whistle - in a few moments, a hawk descends to meet him, landing on his arm]

Come, Gulfan, we're going to look for a friend.

[no freak accident where a hawk eats a cat]

[exercisms]

No. It's a stray, but I think I've met her before.

[He looks. So, so startled when the hawk descends. He almost falls on his ass. But then his surprise turns to wonder?]

You have a bird?

[recrowns]

[mob your cat????

but regardless soo-won just offers a smile at that, even as he encourages gulfan to settle on his shoulder rather than his arm]

Well, he and I are old friends. His name is Gulfan.

And you're.... Shigeo? Or - Mob?

[does he have a preference on a name, soo-won just grabbed it from the profiles]

[exercisms]

[He nods in response to the question, which isn't helpful either way, but the answer is that both names are okay.]

How'd you know that?

[recrowns]

I was looking through the information gathered on us...

[he'll pull out the device from his pocket, opening it to the profiles]

I apologize, if you find it a breach of your privacy.

[exercisms]

[Shaking his head.]

That's okay. I didn't really look at that.

[Pulling his up, too? Zeroing in on 'skills: none']

Oh.

[recrowns]

[tilting his head]

Oh?

[was mob

not aware he had no skills]

[exercisms]

Well, it's basically right.

[No, he knew, but seeing it laid out like that.]

So you're Soo-won-san?

[recrowns]

Mm - but you can just call me 'Won'.

[all the honorifics confuse him

but he also offers a smile]

I'm sure you have many skills budding and waiting to bloom. I'm rather certain it's normal at your age. I wasn't very good at much for a very long time.

[exercisms]

[He nods.]

I've been training with the Body Improvement Club every day, so I can get muscles and become good at sports.

[So that's one way to develop skills. He still looks extremely skinny.]

[recrowns]

[oh mood, soo-woo's a twink despite everyone trying to beat sense into him]

Eh, really? That's impressive. Should we train together while we're here then so you don't lose momentum?

[exercisms]

Yeah! That would be great!

[He's so nice! Mob is going to have so many workout buddies.]

[recrowns]

Fufu, perhaps our first exercise can be a brisk walk to see if we can locate your feline friend.

It'd be bad if they remained outside even during nightfall.

[he has no idea how smart this cat is]

[exercisms]

It would be?

[He doesn't really know about cats. But oh, what's that after they walk a little ways? A little white cat poking her head out.]

There you are!

[recrowns]

[oh wow lucky]

Ah, hello!

Does she have a name?

[exercisms]

[Shaking his head.]

She's a stray cat. [He kneels down to the ground, trying to coax her out, but she seems scared.] I've met her before, I think. But - it doesn't make sense, that she could be here.

[recrowns]

[this poor cat - but now that they've found her, soo-won will move to take gulfan off his shoulder and with a gentle nudge upward, cast him back upward to the sky

there, no freak accidents now that gulfan knows he can't eat this cat]

Oh? What makes you say that?

[exercisms]

The place I met her before didn't exist.

[That clears it up.]

[recrowns]

[DOES IT]

It... was a dream?

[this is like the 3rd time soo-won's made an accidental inception reference today]

[exercisms]

Sort of like a dream.

[It's hard to explain and he will if pressed but it's sort of a bad story.]

So I don't understand how she could have come here. [As cute as she is, it kind of scares him. Still, he reaches out to cautiously pet her.]
