Miyuchan lands on Île du Destin!
“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.
“Takahashi?” Morie repeated, unfamiliar with the name order Miyuki was using.
Atelier has generally been pseudo-European in setting, after all, despite the non-European names. “It’s nice to meet you… I think. I’m Morie- I’m the local alchemist here.“ She paused. “Well…. I’m still learning- I’m not very experienced yet- but I’m working very hard everyday to improve,” she explained. Ah, it wasn’t good to stand around here and talk about herself, though, Morie realized; people were still giving Miyuki funny looks… and Mariel had already gone on ahead back to the workshop. “Do you… want to come to my workshop? We can talk more, then,“ Morie offered.
"Ah no, Miyuki! Takahashi is my surname!” Miyuki said, not familiar with the way that European names went - after all, Europe had been destroyed along with Earth decades before she was born. And although her school had dealt heavily with Earth history, Miyuki had never concentrated…Physical Education was more along her lines.
However, he eyes lit up at the mention of alchemy. Miyuki had always been interested in throwing things together…And watching it blow up, which probably wasn’t the field of alchemy that Morie was referring to. “Workshop? Sure!” she said excitedly, unaware of the weird stares she was still getting because she looked so out of place.
