rosavelle | haruhi suzumiya → catch-all (january)

[ There truly wasn't much of a reason for Haruhi to turn down the invitation. Even if it was a scam and she was being pranked, she'd be kicking herself more if she didn't check it out. If it turned out it was someone wasting her time, she could just give them a swift kick and be on her way. So finding out it was all on the up and up was nice and exciting! One actual adventure to finally round out her school life.

As such, her first couple of days are spent exploring the Castle Grounds. She can be found doing a couple things here:

-On the Dawnfield Grounds themselves, keeping her eyes on anyone who's doing any training and, on occasion, doing some light sprinting herself. No reason not to keep in shape if for whatever reason, she's gotta pick up a sword. She hasn't bothered to ask about any potential conflict, so she'll just keep an eye on things at the moment.

-In the Crownkeepers' Stables, looking over the horses. She doesn't get a chance that often to do anything with horses, so she can't help but get up close and give one or another a nice brushing.

-The Greenhouse, naturally. How can she not get a closer look at the Everbloom? On one hand she didn't know what she'd come across there, but being able to feel an unfamiliar tinge through her body made her that much more curious. The flowers were nice to look at themselves, but she couldn't keep herself away from looking up at the Everbloom.

It's just, finally dawning on her. She's in another world. She found something new and interesting. Haruhi was happy and all, but... ]

Wish the others could see all this.

[ They'd never believe her otherwise! ]

[ Crownkeepers' Stables is home to all sorts of horses! Proud chargers, lithe sprinters, two legged horse girls climbing out of the hay-loft. Wait a second what was that last one?

It's Gold Ship of course! She's caught by surprise to find someone she doesn't recognize in the stables, but she's able to keep a cool head! She adjusts her head gear, makes sure her hat's on straight, and picks a stray piece of hay out of her hair as she walks up from behind to introduce herself. ]

Oi, oi. Nobody told me we were gettin' visitors to the castle today. [ Gotta play it close, of course. No telling if this is a new "advisor" or just local who's visiting. ] If I'd known I woulda had the team clean up, make em selves presentable. M'disappointed in you guys, you're makin' Spica look bad!

[ She directs that at the horses at large, eyes sweeping over the stalls. A few even answer, a chorus of bellows and whinnies of protest. The horses are pretty used to her by now. Gold Ship sighs and shakes her head. ]

Ah well, what're ya gonna do... So! What's your story, stranger? Just come in off the ol' dusty trail?

[ ooh, didn't expect someone to show up there! not enough to really startle her, but certainly enough to get her attention. of course, it helps that she's tall and... the ears...

horse ears?!

oho! of course! there had to be plenty of animal girls in a world like this! who better to take care of horses than a girl with horse ears?

haruhi waves and gives a salute. let's see, based on how she's talking-- ]

Howdy! [ great start. ] Just strolling along, getting a good look at everything. I'm here to help the princess, so getting to learn about the castle's task number one!

[ Good thing Gold Ship can't read minds or else someone would be on the waiting list to get kicked. (it takes so very little to get on that list...)

So instead she's chuckling, her tail starts up wagging too. ]

So you are an "advisor"! Kinda weird Calcal keeps gettin' em in, almost seems like new people are poppin' up at random.

[ Which is one of those things going in the bucket of; Ask Callie what the heck that's about.

Ah well, to the person at hand! Gold Ship grind and flashes up a peace sign in greeting. ]

I'm Gold Ship. Leader an' head trainer of Team Spica Isekai Division, Four Legged Corps. And this buncha hooved weirdos-[ She gestures grandly at the stable at large. ] -are the team! Hope they haven't been too rude to ya, newbie.

[ there's always time for her to make this list, but that'll be coming later. ]

Could be! You can't really help when or where you're pulled into, I think. Maybe if you play the same video game for a while.

[ otome games are kinda boring tho, let her get sent into an MMO! surely nothing bad would happen. ]

Nope, they've all been nice to me so far. You run a dang fine team. I'm Haruhi Suzumiya! [ she thinks for a second, before-- ] Leader of the Kouyouen-North High Literature Club, Rosavelle Branch! I'm the only member so far, and the name'll probably change though.

[ she looks so proud of herself, as if she's actually impressing anybody with that. if only there was some kind of alternative name she knew of that she could use! ]

[ Gold Ship note to self, tell this girl about her friend Alesha who's on isekai number 2 and came here from her own video game isekai situation. Something gives her the feeling this gal would get a kick outta that. ]

Literature Club, huh? Sounds like somethin' Rob Roy would be doing.

[ Cute little underclassman, that one, Gold Ship's about 60% sure she lives in the library though. Can't be healthy, that.

Never mind that Gold Ship is currently living in a stable, ANYWAY... ]

S'mean you're a writer, Haruhi? [ this horse will never use a honorific or last name unless she wants to Mess With Someone... ] Gonna maybe get some words ta paper while you're here, take Rosavelle by literary storm?

[At Dawnfield Grounds, Yayoi is just doing her daily jogging. Or, rather than 'daily jogging' like exercise, it's more that she thinks better while she moves. So she barely even notices Haruhi as she's running, thinking hard as she goes...]

Hey-- watch out!

[ okay have you ever been running and somehow even though you probably could, stopping isn't really an option?

haruhi's been super fixed on seeing if she could beat her last time that she doesn't notice at all that she's running directly in the path of someone else moving along.

does she crash?! she's definitely going to stumble if she doesn't! ]

[A bunch of things happen all at once.

Yayoi's head snaps up, and as she's about to get hit, her reflexes take over. She reaches, grabs Haruhi, and is about to flip her over and slam her to the ground like an attacking enemy.

And then, as she's halfway through the movements, her brain catches up. This isn't an enemy. This girl tried to warn her. She needs to avoid hurting her. So, halfway through the flip, she tries to stop her movement, twisting to try to protect Haruhi from the flip she just started.

The practical effect of this is that Yayoi ends up on the ground first, having fallen but still trying to catch Haruhi from Yayoi's own mistakes. Oof.]

Owowow-

Hwah--?!

[ and it's all somehow too quick for haruhi to follow. was this a counter attack? wait, doesn't she have to attack first before she's countered?!

but she stops and suddenly she's being swung a bit, and now-- well, she still kind of lands roughly, but it's also kind of soft too?? it takes her a second...

oh! shoot, she rubs the back of her own head and sits up. ]

Whoa! You alright?!

I- I'm fine. Ow. I'm tougher than this. It's fine.

Good, but--

What the hell was that? Why did you just try to kill me?

[ jumping to the worst conclusion?? ]

[Trying to sit up... Ow. Okay, checking herself over now. Nothing's broken...]

Why did you try to tackle me?!

I didn't try! I was just going too fast to stop, and I couldn't just jump over you.

[ she's not that good yet! ]

Be more careful, then! I thought I was under attack for a second there.

If I stopped that quick I would've hurt my legs.

[ huff! ]

But. Thanks for taking the blow. It'd be awkward to meet up with the Princess with a broken neck.

Work on braking, then.

[. . .]

You haven't met the Princess yet?

No can do. Life doesn’t have any brakes, so why should I?

[ why does she look so proud of herself for saying that. ]

Not since I got here. I haven’t had anything to report yet!

So you don't run into people and make them think you're attacking them.

[ she's got a point, argh! ]

W-well, not like I have a war cry or anything... and I think more folks would just move anyway...

Corrin spends a portion of every morning training out on the castle grounds practicing her swordplay, and this sometimes attracts onlookers. Corrin doesn't mind for the most part. Her swordplay is flashy and acrobatic, and a good workout to start the day.

Of course, anyone watching probably gets more than they expected when she follows up a quick series of strikes by turning her entire arm into a silvery, almost metallic-looking draconic claw arm which slices upwards, which also causes Corrin's dragon mask to form over her face, almost like it grows out of her in one smooth motion.
