Miyuchan lands on Île du Destin!
Miyuki sighed. ‘Now, how did I get here?’ she thought to herself in a resigned way, as thought getting lost was a constant thing for her. And it was - with the way the kirara drive worked on the ship, they would sometimes land on planets where they had never been before - and they’d hope like hell that DES had never been there either. A new planet meant exploring, and exploring meant getting lost…For Miyuki, at least. She had somehow ended up on this island, where everyone was giving her weird looks because of her kenkyuusei uniform that she hadn’t bothered to change out of.
She caught someone walking past who looked to be about the same age or slightly younger than her. “Hello, could you tell me where I am?“
It had been a relatively unsuccessful day for collecting ingredients.
Morie had wanted to journey out north to a small mountain village, where it was said a rare flower used in alchemy grew. It was cold and snowy the further up the mountain one got, and so Morie had intended on taking the ferry to the mainland, and visiting the shops in the kingdom for supplies, as well as work on synthesizing items that would help to protect against the cold.
That had gone well enough at first… but then Mariel wanted to go visit Opalia, an alchemist living on the mainland, and what was supposed to be a short visit turned into hours of Mariel mooching baked goods off of Opalia, while Morie could only sigh, realizing that any ingredient gathering wasn’t going to be happening today. Maybe I should take up the princess on her offer to use the workshop in the castle town… she thought, knowing how hard it was to catch the ferry to thr mainland (and then the carriage trip to the castle!) She had so far turned down the offer, knowing that being related to the princess, even if they were distant cousins, could cause whispers among the townspeople of Morie being lazy and using her ‘royal connections’ to get out of doing any work.
Now returning to the island, Morie had been walking with Mariel back to her tiny rundown workshop when someone stopped her. As the island was fairly small, everyone knew each other, and this girl was definitely someone unfamilar.
“You… don’t know where you are?” Morie repeated, blinking; had this girl been shipwrecked and washed ashore? She didn’t really look the part. “This is Île du Destin- we’re a tiny island village.“
"Tiny island village…Village?” Miyuki blinked. ’So this is one of the more…less advanced planets then. These are supposedly scattered all over the galaxy, with people living on them using technology ranging from ancient times to medieval or early 20th Century,‘ Miyuki thought, remembering Tsubasa’s lecture to the new kenkyuusei about the planets they would be landing on. She had warned that there would be some who had never heard of 0048 or DES, and that they would most likely be the ones who hadn’t discovered space travel yet…And she had also warned not to alarm the inhabitants of such planets.
However, Miyuki had also never traveled from Akibastar before, and Galactic History had never been her strong subject. Admittedly, she never had a strong subject - she wasted too much time studying 0048 instead. But if you asked her, that time wasn't wasted time. It was time well spent.
She looked the girl up and down, frowning slightly. 'She…actually looks a bit like Tochi,' Miyuki mused. She shrugged. 'Must be a coincidence. Now, how do I play this?’
“I’m…Takahashi Miyuki,” she said hesitantly, wondering if it was a good idea to give her real name in this situation. She had considered scrambling around the kanji in her name a bit to Komi Minabashi, but then decided it sounded stupid and went with her real name.
