[ACTIONS FOR ELIZABETH]
There is a blue-haired boy lying on the sidewalk in some part of FDC. He doesn't seem to be doing too well, but nobody's around to assume responsibility for him. The strangest thing is that parts of his clothes seem to be freshly charred. Stranger yet, he's holding a sword in one hand, and a crumpled-up piece of paper in the other, both with an iron grip. The paper seems to be a letter or something.

One soul would be the lucky one to rouse him from his unconsciousness.

[GENERAL ACTION]
There's a newcomer at Smash Academy. He's dressed strangely, with tattered clothes and a long, flowing red cape that is similarly torn at the edges. He's spending the day wandering around and getting to know things around this place. He's bound to be anywhere you want him to be.

No matter what time he's approached, he seems bothered about something, be it his predicament or the unfamiliar modern commodities that he has a hard time understanding. Feel free to approach him and HELP A GUY OUT.

Ike silently listened, paying attention to the advice Eirika had to offer. Eggman would be a hard name to forget. But to avoid his bad side? Only time would tell if he could manage.

There was still something he had to say about the city. "I was there earlier. That's where I found myself when I came to," he said. "It's unlike anything I've seen. How do you figure out where everything is, anyway?"

[heartofarapier]

She smiled kindly when she heard him because she had a hard time disagreeing. The town, its people, and everything that surrounded the centralised hub was unlike anything else she'd ever known. And she had known of some... rather strange things. Demons and monsters, old legends having truth. Yet none of those really compared to the world the way it was.

"I would not be surprised if there was a directory available, though if I'm to be honest, I spent a good deal of weeks investigating and scouting the area, which is the only reason I truly know as to what is here. If such a thing as a map is available, I do not have one. I imagine if you were in need, however, the Headmaster could provide. You could also check with any members of the security team. They perform nightly patrols and should know the layout very well."

"Alright," he replied idly, trying to soak in all of those possible options. Learning the area for himself sounded a lot like the way Ike felt he'd deal with getting to know the place better, but a bit of help from the security or a map didn't sound like a bad idea.

"It might take a while to get used to all of this, but I'll have to do what I can. Do you have any other advice?"

[heartofarapier]

"Do not be too hasty," she reminded him kindly. "It is the best advice I could offer, I think. This place may seem jarring and disorienting. Yet you may find yourself discovering your own comforts here."

As if to use herself as an example, though she didn't dare to, for the very possibility of being judged for putting her duties second to her heart concerned her. She was still a princess and she was still expected to act as one. "You may seek me out if you wish to. I would always be willing to lend my assistance."

[welikeike]

"I'll try not to be," he replied. Nowadays it was easier to abstain from rash decision making, probably because of all that time spent having to be a commander with a level head. "I appreciate the offer, Princess Eirika. I'll keep it in mind in case I ever need it."

[heartofarapier]

She nodded and gave him something of a low bow of the head, just as if to imply a form of respect. And perhaps that was because he called her by her title, which was something she had grown unaccustomed to. But to hear it was oddly pleasant and reminiscent of older days.

"Please do." Not that she needed to tell him. "Until our paths cross again, I will wish you well."

[welikeike]

"Likewise." With that, Ike nodded his head briefly and turned away, heading off to adjust to the idea that this school might be his home for a while. Who knew how long that would be.
