Who: figaro and you!
What: a good doctor trying to get his bearings in another world
Where: just around the school
When: the rest of the month of april, after the murder investigation

i.

[ funny how figaro has found himself in a school after wrapping up a recent mission that involved a school... but this one looks a little more different from what he's used to. they only had schoolhouses in the south where rutile worked as a teacher and not sprawling buildings like this one, and not to mention the unfamiliar technology that range from vending machines to dated cellphones, to boot.

so now here he is - a rather tall man who looks too old to be wearing a school uniform (but still looks very good in it nonetheless) standing in front of a vending machine, stroking his chin as he surmises its contents. ]

There should be a way to get some food out of there, is it? [ mostly talking to himself, but if there's someone who happens to be around while he's being a boomer over here that'd be great ] I'm not too used to technology, I'm afraid. I don't even have any mana stones on me to activate it.

[ please tell him nothing in this world is powered by dead wizards thanks ]

ii.

[ well that sure is a dead body in a case. figaro isn't even rattled at the sight of it, having seen so many himself. he does peer closer to get a better look at it... ]

Has anyone tried taking her out of the case yet? [ he lifts a hand as if to summon something in his palm, but no dice. ugh. ] Wonder how they kept her in such pristine condition. She should be rotting by now, if she were human.

[ then again, judging from the student body and faculty that act like he's been here for a while, who go in and out of the school like ghosts... well. this isn't the first time in a haunted school, at any rate. ]

iii.

[ a doctor like him would naturally gravitate towards the clinic, and after making a couple subtle winks with the resident school nurse (why), he heads over to the cot and presumably finding someone there - a fellow transfer, perhaps? ]

Oh? Are you taking a nap here as well?

[ figaro you're supposed to feign illness... but with his smile he should be in on the secret. he'd like some rest too, ok ]

After you do that, you press your PDA here [does so], and that pays for it. It's pretty easy, once you get used to it!

[and while he gets his snack she's gonna buy the peanut butter crackers she came here for in the first place.]

Do you really not have stuff like this where you're from? It must be hard to carry around a bunch of rocks in order to buy things.

[ ooooh, okay. that's awfully easy enough? he takes the melonpan from the machine's mouth and tears it open. ]

Oh, we use gold and such for currency in our world. That's already given. It's just that magical technology uses mana stones from wizards to power machines, though they're only a recent development.

[ one that he really isn't keen to elaborate on, as he takes his first bite of the classic japanese snack. his eyes brighten. ]

Mm, this is good!

See, I told you! [preens she loves showing people new stuff]

Gold almost sounds worse than rocks, though. Doesn't it get heavy? How do you know how much gold gets you an ice cream cone?

[she's thinking, like. just raw ore.]

[ what a good girl. chew chew and swallow. ]

Oh! I mean coins. You have coins in your world, right? This is the first time hearing of points being used as currency, though.

We have coins, but I don't think they're made of gold. [stingy would go nuuuuuuuts.] We sometimes use points as currency back home, but it's mainly just rewards for doing good things, like eating healthy? And not something you need to live.

So if you're a good student, you'll be rewarded with food from this machine... That makes sense. But what if you're in the mood to fill yourself up?

... Well, sometimes there's stuff in the home ec class, and some people here know how to cook... And, um. That's it.

So it's that rough... If only I'm able to use magic here. I'd love to repay you in kind - in exchange of your name, that is.

Oh, another magic user! There's a lot of you guys here. [which she thinks is the dopest shit in the universe] My name's Stephanie.

I'm Figaro. Pleasure to meet you, Stephanie. [ does a little bow. ] Are there other magic users I should know about? Aside from my fellow wizards who're from the same world as me.

[EYES WIDEN] You have friends from home here?

[SHE'S SO JEALOUS even though she should not wish her friends here. ziggy is six. it wouldn't end well.]

Mm, I'm just as surprised as you are. I'd hoped that no one else would be here so that they wouldn't go through this school's horrors, but it seems it can't be helped.

[ also he doesn't get why white of all people is here without snow but that's a story for another day. ]
