[He awoke in darkness in the coffee shop, of all places.]
[Abruptly aware of a dozen and more sounds and scents, someone was calmly pensive as if sudden self-awareness of one's postmortem existence was an everyday occurrence. It certainly seemed nothing that panicking would help with, and nothing that wouldn't await examination until after he'd finished his coffee.]
[Which he did, of course. Later on he would be found exploring the city in very cautious and deliberate steps, hand occasionally on a wall for guidance. He found he didn't have much difficulty maneuvering despite the chaotic layout--a strange problem not to have, and perhaps one warranting consideration as to what kind of person he was. An interesting quandary to examine, and more so if he wasn't the only such person.]
[...One thing he did already know for certain, however.]
[His name, if indeed that was what he was called, was almost comically ironic.]

Oh, hello– [ Then she realizes Lion isn't being tailed by a familiar face and looks a bit startled. ] Oh, did– did someone else...?
no subject
[hell if he knows what time it is but he did, in fact, just wake up.]
no subject
[He did good???]
no subject
[ But instead of mulling on that too much, she gives them both a smile. ]
Um, thank you, though. Maybe we can go and find somewhere to sit and talk about things? We could use one of the hotel rooms?

[He doesn't want to be in the way...]

[ The dude literally just woke up in the afterlife, maybe he imprinted on Lion like a duckling or something. Who knows! ]

[Him OR Rei]
But it does seem abrupt to leave right after showing up. Hmm... well, if you wish, I could make some tea? I have been learning how to use an 'electric kettle' I discovered in one of the shops- and while I wouldn't call it amazing, I can manage something pleasant enough?

[ Food makes Uncomfortable Information go down easier, so she's starting to find. ]
no subject
[let's do this shit]
no subject
[He stops by the room he's claimed- Rei might be able to see a collection of items Lion is curious about already growing in there- to get his kettle and a few other things in a shopping bag before following to her room]

Rei's room isn't particularly fancy – it's about as bog-standard as hotel suites come, but there's plenty of room for the three of them to sit and talk, which is the important part. ]
You can sit wherever you like. [ She gestures to the two armchairs blocking basically all the natural light in front of the window. ] Or, feel free to take the chairs for now.

My apologies for the inconvenience—Rei, correct? As Lion said, I suppose you can call me Phoenix for lack of any other options. I’ve some moderate grasp on what purpose we’re to serve here, but I’m slightly lost as to the ‘how’ of the matter.
[The concept of fighting didn’t sound difficult for reasons he wasn’t certain of, but doing so unarmed seemed a little much.]

[ She asks mostly as a formality, because his confusion suggests that no one has said much of anything. ]
Since you've awakened now, if you're willing to fight then I can help you become one. It'll give you the strength you need to fight here in Purgatory and help protect yourself at the very least.
no subject
...I would like to fight as well--not that I have much else to do, but it seems a poor choice to ignore such a thing. What's necessary to become an Executor?
no subject
[ But somehow, just looking at Phoenix, she doesn't think he'll need to do much deliberating. ]
no subject
no subject
[ From Phoenix's point of view... not a whole lot happens, besides the very distinct sense of of the world around him coming to a halt for just a breath. And then quite abruptly everything slams back into motion and he'll find himself feeling entirely different and no different at all.
From a player perspective, now that the contract has been established, you may now reclaim your very first Memoria Regain and your starter power that your character will have at default as an Executor. You also have one free Idea that you may use however you like. For power regains, please submit a comment on the power regain page with this comment linked as the qualifying thread. Do the same at the Memoria page for your Memoria regain! ]

...I appreciate it. I will endeavor to keep up with the rest of you.
