The Stars...

[A woman in black appears at the gates. It's impossible to tell if she walked up or if just appeared out of the air

So, this is the place. I expected something else. Something ... more well kept.

No matter. This is where the stars have led me. For better or for worse.

Also, I feel... Ah, that was here not too long ago. Perhaps it will come back.

... Yes!

You know, this mysterious vibe of yours is exactly why people, like the Prince, were so determined to unearth your secrets.

[ladyofstars]

I traveled here. Does that answer your question?

[what_a_pain]

[Looking annoyed with that "answer".]

I could have deduced that. How did.. ugh, nevermind. This woman is still a big pain!

Why are you here now?

[ladyofstars]

Many reasons. One of which should be obvious to you.

[what_a_pain]

I'm flattered that you think so highly of my investigative mind, but I honestly have no idea what you're getting at.

[ladyofstars]

Is it not YS 475, and here are you, seemingly not aged a day since YS 450?

[what_a_pain]

I could say the same for you, sunshine.

[Just knows that Zerase is not like any normal being. He's pretty sure of that. He can't help but bark back though.]

How are you sure I wasn't just blessed with youthful looks?

[ladyofstars]

Hmph. Perhaps I shouldn't waste my time, then.

[Starts to walk away]

[what_a_pain]

W-wha- Hey!

[She is the one of the only people he finally recognizes around here, but..]

.. Do you have any idea how I got here?

[ladyofstars]

Not at the moment. But I intend to find out.

[Looks over at him]

What were you doing before you came here?

[what_a_pain]

Uh.

I was following someone for a case. I just wound up here while chasing the guy. That's all.

[ladyofstars]

Did anything strike you as odd while you were spying on him?

[what_a_pain]

There was nothing strange about the guy at first glance, honestly. I know it was the person I was assigned to gather information on. I have no doubt about that.

I simply followed him into an alleyway and then found myself in this town.

[ladyofstars]

[Mulls this over] I shall think this over.

[what_a_pain]

Huh?

[Sighs. Well, when dealing with her, he's sure he should have saw this coming. Getting a straight answer wasn't going to be that easy.]

[ladyofstars]

[Doesn't want to admit she doesn't know either]
