First Lie : Nimbasa City - action

[togetherwefell]

 Having fiddled around a little with his  Xtransceiver to figure out how the primitive technology worked, he's currently got the video function turned off, mostly because he doesn't like the idea of people trying to contact him before he's properly got his bearings in this new realm.

That does not mean to say, however, that he's not conspicuous, even in Nimbasa - he's still in his dark Asgardian clothes that he arrived in, the only additions being the green bag slung over his shoulder and the Emolga currently sitting on his shoulder.

The cold doesn't bother him at all.  Nor does the fact bother him all that much, due to that always having been the case, yet now there is a constant reminder attached to it.  Not one of them.  Something else...

He narrows his eyes, and continues to explore.

[While this is going on, Subaru's frowning slightly as he looks at his X-Transiever.]

It's getting pretty late, though, I think you should save the Gym for tomorrow, Yuuma-kun...

"HEHHH?? REALLY?"

The Nurse at the counter has to stare. "Oh?" And glance at the clock. "Oh my- It's already dark out!" However, rather than a somewhat saddened look, she instead gives a large smile to the group. "Elesa's gym will probably be booked completely, but I highly recommend a trip through the city before settling down for the evening- this is your first time in Nimbasa, correct?"

Astral nods. "Aah. It is."

"In that case, close your eyes as you leave the building- When you open them," she continues with a smile, "You'll be in for a wonderful surprise!"

"Ah?? Really?" Yuuma is already looking toward the door...

And potentially bolting if you guys take too long to leave!! "Hahhh... Yuuma..." At least it's more a fast walk though- Astral has no trouble walking to keep up...

Mind, Yuuma's standing perfectly still when he gets outside to see what the nurse was talking about.

"Woaaaaaaaahhh..." Lights...

..Everywhere...

At first he's amused, humouring them and not expecting anything truly spectacular. This world may be strange, and more advanced than most he's passed through since falling from the Bifrost, but nowhere near the splendour of Asgard.

But as he opens his eyes, the lights glimmer out at him, shining in the night like a thousand points of the rainbow, scattered across the city. The bridge, falling, shattered.

He remembers being able to look out, and he would be able to see that, remembers riding out with Thor, and the others, before, when they were still innocent and ignorant.

It was beautiful, and it was heartbreaking. It reminded him of everything he didn't have any longer, and was a pale imitation of a slight portion of home.

His breathing hitched, but he couldn't close his eyes.
