A New x Wonder Adventure x Begins! IC (Azure Sky - FiroIV)

[Azure Sky]

Nanda was rather suspicious of the food they were giving him. The champagne given to all the passengers at the departure point contained a coma virus, so he really didn't want to go around and eat more poisonous, or otherwise dangerous and penalizing stuff. Taking his notebook off his pocket, he started writing non-stop. "......poisoned food. They'll serve us rotten food. They'll serve us food that'll make us inapt to do anything useful in the actual Exam. They'll serve us food that'll make us turn on each other and kill each other." he was muttering to himself while writing, when suddenly the soda man from before came by and greeted him. "H-Hello...." he stopped writing and spoke with a rather low voice. The preliminaries' first stage was over and, as such, he didn't really need to feel so uptight about working together with others. He felt more like it was a "in times of need" ind of partnership, something he didn't really want to broaden.

Either ways, anybody connected to him fell into great disasters. From falling down HUGE staircases, to being eaten by a volcano's lava, to die frozen in the coldest snow storm ever. That was the meaning of being around Nanda Kurotsuki. Even his name was rather enticing. What, Black Moon? It was certainly a foreboding name. He had questioned himself many times if he was really going to presence the falling of the moon into the Earth.... Shrugging it off for a bit, he realized the man was still there. "W-What is it? Do I have something you want?" he asked, kind of afraid of the man. He looked WAY too confident about himself and optimistic, the clear opposite of Nanda.

[FiroIV]

Nikolev: (Yeah I'm starting with him. GAME CHANGER)

To Nikolev this boy was just like how he looked, for now, a rather pathetic, needy, pitiable and naive boy. Regardless of how he thought about him or how badly he judged him he'd never point it out. He approached him closer and lowered his head a bit to balance their heights together.

"No of course not my friend. I only wanted to know you better we are of course taking this exam together so we might as well know each other to a certain extent."

"I for one am glad that I have someone to talk to. So why are you so glum my friend?. It is a rather joyous occasion that we passed the exam together is it not?"

"Or is it me that disappointed you? Is my presence that disappointing to you? Shall I leave you alone and make you feel better and try to associate with you at some other time or shall I do something to make you feel more comfortable? Maybe the thought about the destruction of this plane shall make you feel better?"

He was taking a stab at the last part. He radiated grim darkness so maybe the tragic thoughts can entice him.

Riki:

The only thing she thought about right now was that this guy was and in her own thought words a "CHARMING BASTARD". How dare he cut off our interaction like that.

She was star raving mad, but not so much that she'd so it. She will never do such a thing.

[Azure Sky]

Nanda rolled his eyes at the man. He thought he was a little weird, but as he came closer to mentioning the plane's fateful destiny, his opinion changed from weird to slightly annoying. Not that he could say much for himself.... "Your presence doesn't cause me any discomfort, no. And nor am I disappointed either, since I don't even know you for starters." He knew he had been a bit harsh with that, but nothing else was there to be said. Why would he speculate on some person's unknown per- ...... OH! He thought Nanda actually put that much thought into the survivors? "W-Well, I don't really care for what happened in the past. We passed and that's all. A disaster was averted, that's all I cared about." he meekly said. "The past is worthless to me. Enemies can become friends, and vice versa, catastrophes are avoided or occurred..... Unless you can keep your eyes on the future, then you're not fully prepared for anything. The present is nothing but an idea. Only the future matters."

And THAT was more or less Nanda's philosophy of life. Yes, a bit extremist, but it was the necessary for him to survive the world. That was sufficient for him to exist. That was obligatory, if he wanted to destroy every chance of a disaster happening. "Life can be taken at any minute. I don't look glum. I look prepared. Being always prepared is my motto." he continued. Opening his notebook on the page he was on, he showed the man what was written in there, the many possibilities of what might happen. "According to Schrodinger, we don't know what happens until it happens. I have the worst luck when it comes to predicting bad stuff." Explaining wouldn't much good though, to a man he hadn't even heard the name of. "Either ways, my name is Nanda. Nanda Kurotsuki. I have yet to hear your name." he asked.

[FiroIV]

Nikolev:

He had no idea what to do. He had to say something or else he'd look like someone undignified and he did not want that to happen. Honestly though he had no idea what to say to keep the conversation going forward because he really had no idea what to say. "Amazing, so young, truthful and intelligent, for you to know the wise words of Schrodinger and his cat. You are rather something aren't you Monsieur Kurotsuki. "

He had asked for his name and like any other gentleman he needed to reply accordingly. "My name is Nikolev Grigori from Yorknew City and I do hope that in spite of your beliefs we can become friends." He did not tell him his occupation, but he should have though.

"Shall I leave you now to let you wonder about world and all it's eccentricities or shall we continue this witty banter?" He expected for him to decline his invitation, but he still did because it was the proper way.

Riki:

The plane was boring and rather quiet. Except for those two who were talking there was nothing else going on. Like any logical human being who was rather bored and alone he stared out into the airplanes window and tried not to fall asleep.

[Azure Sky]

Okay..... Maybe Nanda had overdone the talk a little. Now the man thought he was the kind of person who only knew how to talk politely. He hated when people assumed he was from some rich family just because he was quiet and usually didn't socialize. He was about to write his thoughts on the notebook, but then realized the man could read it so he refrained from doing so. "N-Nice to meet you." he replied. Nikolev, huh? Seemed like a North-ish kind of name, despite him being from Yorknew... Maybe a descendant? Either way, he looked over his shoulder. There was only one way out now. He had come here to get to know Nanda, and he seemed like he had eaten a rotten fruit. "H-Hey! You over there! M-Miss! Could you come here?" he asked the girl who he had work together with before. He guessed he should listen to the man's words for a bit. Not that he minded whatever those two were doing in their spare time or anything, it was more like he got a little sick of feeling that carnal tension behind him. It screwed up most of his luck.

"It's no p-problem. W-We just want to talk." he said, now in a lower voice. He wasn't used to do much shouting. Turning to Nikolev, he scratched his own cheek a bit. "S-Sorry. You were saying something about us being friends and working together due to being the only survivors?" he asked, a bit innocently. That would've been a bad move if he had outright refused and then asked the girl to join him. Though, something about those two.... No. There was nothing. Absolutely nothing. Though it was nothing, his right hand slowly moved by itself started to write on the notebook, the notebook destined to only be filled with disastrous premonitions.

[FiroIV]

Nikolev:

"Yes I did" He said to the boy when he delegated his opinion on the thoughts about making friends. He waited for the girl before he wanted to say anything. As he took a sip from a drink he ordered moments before, he realized that Nanda was struggling with something. This something was his somewhat odd blotting of words in his notes. He wanted to ask about it, but it would be quite rude and ungentlemanly of him to pry into someone else's business especially since they did not seem to in charge of their actions.

Riki:

As she was on the brink of falling asleep someone had called on her. It was not really her, but knowing that she was the only woman there that was not a stewardess it was rather obvious that the "her" he was referring to was her. He rose from her inclined window seat and walked towards them. "Hello." She said.

[Azure Sky]

"H-Hello." he greeted the girl, who seemed older than him as well. Though it wasn't too noticeable, he was actually the only person amongst the three who was sitting down, mostly because he had been the one to have been directed a word to. He pointed at the two seats to his right. "T-These are free, if you want to sit down." he said, as he waited for them to sit down or not. He was just throwing a guess, but he could predict a gentlemanly move from Nikolev to the girl. From what he had seen and heard, it was in his nature. But, meh, he wouldn't really care about it that much, he just wanted to get this whole thing/exam/whatever done with. "H-Hey, stop that..." he whispered to his own hand freely, while slapping it and making it stop writing. Looking over at it, though, it seemed serious business. Not wanting to spoil the party, he had to do something. Taking up a chicken leg that was right in front of him with a fork, he put it on a plate that was conveniently placed on a roller table at the end of the corridor. He also threw spaghetti into it too.

He needed to eat if this was going to happen. "I guess we can help ourselves. Now, my name, like I said to this gentleman here, is Nanda Kurotsuki. H-He was talking about how it would be best for us three to team up, at least for now, in order to get through with the Examinations and become Hunters." he explained, then pointing at Nikolev, signaling it was his time to introduce himself and explain exactly what he had in mind. Meanwhile, he started eating properly. He wasn't taught like a beast, so he could perfectly eat like a civil person.

[FiroIV]

Riki:

"Thank you." He said thanks for both the offer to seat, for the food and the invitation to discuss over the exam, by extension the introduction as well. "My name id Riki Lotus. I am pleased to meet the both of you." There were various food in front of them and like any sane person with the desire to not starve she grabbed a small of salad and some side chicken on the side.

Nikolev:

The sudden action of her actually coming was quite a surprise he honestly did not expect that. He took a seat beside the both of them, the result being him Nikolev, Nanda and as she has introduced herself Riki from left to right. There was an array of food, but he was not feeling particularly hungry instead he opted for the wine that was poured in front of him. "Miss" He greeted the woman he eye-flirted with minutes before. "Oh and I should introduce myself, I am Nikolev Grigori." He did a enchante thing with both his wine held hands and his eyes. "Yes, my somewhat pessimistic, but endearing friend here is quite right. I wanted to discuss our future endeavors towards this examination, which by my judgement should be proceeding to the next phase soon enough or I could be wrong." Was he being overly familiar with his new, not really even a friend young man.

Riki:

"Yes, you could be quite wrong mister Niko. Shall we dine as we discuss our future endeavors?" She asked both of them.

[Azure Sky]

As Nanda ate, he pointed to the notebook, left on his right arm chair. He had flipped the pages to before the plane started going wonky. A single, big sentence that had been underlined and had a big rectangular casing. "The plane will crash as we get to our destination." was written on it. "That was my most prominent prediction. It will certainly not fail. They are going to crash this plane. That'll be the final preliminary here. So, yes, as Miss Lotus said, you could be very wrong, Mr. Grigori. I won't really discuss in what way this plane will crash, nor will I say if it's going to be on the landing or while we're approaching the airport, since I don't really predict these things accurately, it's just a sixth sense. Any help would prove useful, if both of you had any way to at least get out of here before we're burnt to a crisp once the fuel tank ignites and blows the plane up sky-high." he explained. Though he usually didn't reveal his predictions, he had agreed to an alliance, so he might as well contribute.

"And there's my contribute to the agreement we're making for now." he muttered, then refocusing on the food that still rested on his plate. He really liked spaghetti and chicken. Though it wasn't a type of dish familiar to his island, he still got to eat it sometimes, when he went to a restaurant or if someone actually bought the spices needed for it. Onikawa wasn't really the greatest of the islands in Jappon, so it wasn't like there were BIG shipping companies docking there. Looking at how the other two looked like, he could probably say they were either very successful in life, or they were good enough to act like so. In the world we live in, appearances worth as much as real belongings. A man once said "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players", which was somewhat true.
