Welcome to Not-Inaba, kid(s)! (w/Yukiko Amagi)

[sewdamncute]

Action, Morning, with both

[Good morning, Luceti. If you happen to be in the area of the fountain, you have perhaps found two teens in the water. The long-haired girl seems to be using the boy's chest as a pillow, despite the fact that he doesn't look too comfy. And if you wait long enough, you can see as they wake up.]

Kanji: Mmm, Ma, stop that. I ain't got school today. [The boy reached up to scratch at his head, near his left ear, and when he tried to turn over, his grey eyes flew open. There was a dark head of hair in his line of vision. A very familiar head of hair. F-fuck, he was screwed if Senpai came back to a scene like this. Or worse, Naoto! 

He looked around trying to figure out how Yukiko-senpai ended up in his bed when he noticed several things wrong. Not in his bed. Not in his house. Not in Inaba anywhere that he recognized.] The...what the fuck is this?

[Unlike the boy she was lying on, Yukiko was fast asleep. Unknowing that she was sent to a place where wings were fused onto her body and that she was on a good friend of hers. Let's just say that if she did suddenly wake up, it wouldn't be pretty for either one of them. But for now, she was enjoying her mattress known as Kanji.]

Where? How? Wha- [As intelligible as ever, Kanji is sputtering and trying to get his friend from off of him while not drowning in the fountain. Man, when did she start sleeping so hard? And he seriously hoped that was backsplash from the fountain on his chest. The questionable placement of her head left him a  little...unsure. With an unsteady hand, he reached out and shook the girl carefully.] Yukiko-senapi. Wake up. Man, please wake up.

[It only took a minute for the raven haired girl to stir and groan slightly. She was having a good dream after all and it would be bad to leave it now. Her eyes fluttered open as she took in the sight before her: oh, it was Kanji. But why was she on him if the last thing she remembered doing was shopping for Labrys? And were they wet?

Seriously, what was going on? Yukiko slowly started to move her body up just as she noticed that her kohai was actually shirtless and soaked. And then she looked at herself and noticed the New Feather dress she was wearing. What happened to her clothes?! And...was the dress really clingy on her wet body?! So like every normal young woman who noticed the situation...

She screamed.

Not to mention as she tried to stand up, she slipped and fell back first into the fountain and gasped. Ow that really hurts! Yukiko was unaware of the wings on her back and how sensitive they were at first. The sudden impact on the floor wasn't good as she promptly proceeded to pass out afterwards.]

[Lucky for her, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Kanji's reflexes and he caught her before she could strike her head against the unforgiving stone of the fountain. And then, he really began to panic.] Yukiko-senpai, you can't just do this to me! No, wake up. Aw...fuck....

[And, then, he spotted it, the clinic. Taking cautious steps, Kanji managed to get them both out of the fountain and over to the clinic. It wasn't like this was the TV world. He couldn't just whip out some item and revive her. For one, he didn't even have his own shit do do anything with those! What the hell was going on? He'd never had a dream like this, so he was going to go with the theory that it was really happening. (Hey, this is deductive reasoning for the thuggish-looking teen, okay?)

It takes some delicate manuevering, but he managed to get the door open on his own, but that's when his luck runs out. There wasn't even anyone at the desk.] Hello? Is there someone here? I need some help!

Action/Accidental Video, Kanji, afternoon

[He'd taken Yukiko to the clinic to be looked at. Then, after being reassured that his friend would be fine, Kanji decided he'd crawled through all the shops in the area around the fountain so he could find his clothes and phone and the sewing kit he kept on him at all times. But there were several things that had stopped him, but starting with the journal that was sitting with his clothes in the general goods store was where his troubles kept going. Yep, he'd tried to throw it away, but the damn thing ended up right in his way as he started to walk away.

In fact, he'd almost tripped over it.

He'd managed to dodge it and go into the private bathroom to change into the school uniform he'd been wearing when he'd been taken from home. And trying to put clothes on with these stupid wings, no matter how cute, was painful. They stung and ached, making him wish that Teddie was there to heal him. However, now that he's dressed, he aimed his feet towards the front door of the shop.

Only to run into that damn book again, tripping over it and falling on his ass. However, all anyone would be able to see was the ceiling of the shop itself.] WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? [His actual questions could wait until the case of the homicidal book was solved.]

Action, Yukiko, Afternoon

[After that er...slip up, Yukiko is out of the clinic and heading towards a very good place: the clothing shop. Clearly she does not like her New Feather getup and would like to find anything else suitable for her. She's lucky enough to find her school uniform among the wares and quickly grabbed them before anyone else could. Now how was she going to put them over the wings?]


[[OOC: Since this is sort of a joint post, you can play with both at the clinic or pick one of them to talk to. Just, please specify in the subject line. Thanks, Mako and Lita.]]

Comments

[Action] [Let's start with Kanji first]

[linefacingforever]

[Yu had no idea what was going on that morning; the only reason he was out because he needed something, something for a certain something that Naoto probably suspected but he was fairly sure she didn't know about yet. He wasn't entirely sure where to locate that something, but the General Store had to have it, right? May...be?]

[Either way, his plans of looking for that something were stopped cold when he heard a familiar scream coming from the clothing shop. He was surprised to hear it, to be honest; being here two months, and already more of his friends were showing up? He wasn't surprised to hear it coming from the clothing shop at least, and immediately changed direction to look at what Kanji was yelling about.]

[He carefully sidestepped Kanji's big feet as he entered, peering over over him (and the book).]

Afternoon, Kanji.

[Because. You know. Friends suddenly appearing and being KO'd by their own journals was totally normal here.]

[Action]

[sewdamncute]

[He took a break from swearing and grumbling under his breath to stare up at the familiar grey-haired teen.]

S-senpai! I didn't expect you to be here. What the fuck is up with that damn book? I thought I threw it away and all of a sudden it's trying to kill me. Is that normal wherever the hell we are?

[Action]

[linefacingforever]

[Oh Kanji; as usual, Yu didn't even blink at Kanji's swearing. He's heard him say worse.]

It's your journal.

[He paused a moment, thinking that over. Wait, he tried to get rid of it... and it just came back? Well, good thing they couldn't get rid of their means of communication that easily, but that was a little creepy. And how did it know to come back specifically to them? Were they tied to the wings somehow?]

[Thanks, Kanji; you gave him more to think about. Yu let it drop for now, offering the younger teen a hand up.]

You need it to 'call' people, so you should keep it on you.

[Action]

[sewdamncute]

A journal? [Excuse him while he gives a bit of a sneer, okay?] What am I, some ten year old girl writin' about her first crush now?

[Really. It wasn't even cute, man. What was he supposed to do with that ugly thing?]

So, it's like a cell phone? How's it work?

[voice]

[godbent]

How should we know?

[voice]

[sewdamncute]

[Trying to get off of his ass, Kanji crawls over to the open book, sure that that's where the mysterious voice came from. It was not a ghost, right? Right. He hoped not anyway.]

Who said that?

[voice]

[godbent]

I did. From the book, moron.

[voice]

[sewdamncute]

Who you callin' a moron, you loud mouth-? [He stopped himself before he could finish that. Since this was the only person responding to him, it was probably best if he didn't call her a bitch, even if that's what he wanted to say.]

[Action] For Yukiko

[faithfulflame]

[Rei periodically checked for clothes from home of course, and she notices a rather pretty girl in a New Feather gown looking seemingly perplexed. It must be the usual. She shrugs and walks over with a small sigh.]

Cutting holes for the wings is where most people start. Or finding something a bit less tight in the back to wear until the sensitivity goes away.

[Action]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[She turns around and notices another girl next to her. Huh...if Yukiko knew any better, she would think she would be looking at an older sister.]

Oh, I'm not too sure about cutting holes in anything right now.

[Plus the clothes look rather nice not to do such a thing. She certainly didn't want to do that to her favorite sweater if she found it.]

[Action]

[faithfulflame]

[Wow this girl...looks a lot like her, really.]

Well then here, let me help you put it on. It'll probably be a little tender, though.

[Action]

[gigglesnortpriestess]

[Sister from another mister?

Yukiko was about to decline, wanting to do it on her own but this woman must know more about how to do things in this place.]

I'm sorry, I must be disturbing you aren't I?

[Action] for Kanji

[faithfulflame]

[Well Rei sees him trying to toss the journal and doesn't think much of it and heads outside to go about her day. She'd tried that once and she was a bit too tired to deal with New Feathers right now...

Then, of course, she hears him shouting and immediately turns right around and peers in the door. And sees him laid out on his butt.]

Are you alright? What happened?

[Action] for Kanji

[sewdamncute]

[Rubbing his head from where it hit the corner of a product bin, Kanji looked up at the voice and blinked, a few times.

She wasn't exactly just like Yukiko-senpai, but the resemblance was enough that he had to close his mouth before he stuck his huge foot in it.

Then, what she'd asked registered and he felt his cheeks pink in embarrassment.]\

Uh, yeah, I guess I'm alright. [Carefully, he stood, noticing how he towered over the petite girl easily. (Not that that was different from any other day.)] That damn book tried to kill me!

[Action] for Kanji

[faithfulflame]

[Towered maybe, but Rei seems completely unphased.]

No, it didn't. You just threw it where it'd cause someone to trip. You just happened to be the unlucky one. Now, let me see your head.

[Action] for Kanji

[sewdamncute]

I threw it in the trash can! It ended up here! I ain't the one that did it!

[Oops, he's a little excitable right now and he might be coming off as threatening. He doesn't really mean it, he swears!]

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[It's not every day two soaking-wet people come into the clinic, one shouting and the other unconscious. It's not every day Mia works there either.

Today is not every day.

She hears the door open but it's the urgency in the shouting voice that draws her to the waiting area. Mia recognizes the attire of New Feathers on sight, putting on her calmest expression while she approaches them.]

Hello. I'm Mia, and I can help you. I know everything around here must look unfamiliar, but can you tell me what happened?

[action]

[sewdamncute]

[So. Fucking. Awkward. He's half-naked and soaking wet, carrying around his friend who's wearing a dress so flimsy that it barely covers anything. While soaking wet. Could he just...

Oh, yeah, and of course it had to be a cute girl that came out to help. Was it seriously only in Inaba that all the doctors were dumb, old dudes?

He should probably answer this Mia girl though. Especially if she was going to help him at all.]

Y-yeah, we woke up in that stupid fountain and when she tried to stand, she slipped and passed out. I kept her from smackin' her head against the fountain, but I don't know what's wrong with her because I ain't no healer or doctor!

[action]

[frost_jewel]

[In the face of a crisis Mia can ignore all of those things. She thinks she knows the problem, or part of it, but just in case, she motions for him to follow her down to a room.]

Feeling faint or being disoriented is common for newcomers. [It is her hope that in keeping her voice softer, he will shout a bit less as well.] I'll make sure, of course, but it is likely she needs only rest.

[Voice]

[toujoursfluer]

What is what? [she only sounds mildly interested. She knows a new feather when she hears one]

[Voice]

[sewdamncute]

This damn book is trying to kill me! [Yes, he's as angry as he sounds about that!]

[Voice]

[toujoursfluer]

I think the book is the least of your worries. It will probably be more help to you than anything.

[voice] for Kanji first!

[fortuneprince]

[To have Yu arrive in Luceti... that's one thing. It's something she's readily prepared herself for, something that can't surprise or phase her all that much anymore with how many times he's gone and left over the years.

But Kanji... he's one of her friends from the investigation team that has never been dragged here to Luceti in her time here before. In all honesty, she's never been sure if he or any of the other investigation team members ever would--or even if she wanted them to be brought here. This place isn't one that you would wish your friends to come to but... over the past year, her homesickness as grown.

Trapped in this world, she's watched her friends from home and other worlds come and go, leaving Naoto to be left behind and all alone without fail. And the realization that she hadn't seen some of her closest friends... and the only family she had left for almost three years only made things worse.

So opening her journal to hear his voice, a voice she hasn't heard in over two and a half years, she can't hide the surprised look on her face and voice as she stares down at the book in her hands.

At first, she isn't sure what to feel. Fear, most definitely. She can feel the pang of fear that he might be taken away now make her heart throb and hurt. There's sadness and anger towards the Malnosso but... there's also happiness behind it all. She's missed him and everyone else so much.]

Kanji-kun?!

[voice]

[sewdamncute]

[That voice penetrates through his stream of cursing. In fact, he falls silent as he realizes that he hadn't actually just imagined her voice.

He crawls over to the journal and he can see a little picture of her. Suddenly, his face heats up as he thinks about the last time they talked. She was telling them that she was going on a case and he was trying not to be disappointed at the thought of her leaving Inaba.]

N-Naoto? That you?

[voice]

[fortuneprince]

[If him saying her name isn't enough, the image of him, as small as it may be, is enough to prove that it really is him. That he really is here...

She feels a wave of relief almost run through her as she takes a moment to stare down at the voice recording and her shoulders droop only slightly. Her fears and worries continue to eat at the back of her mind, reminding her not to let her drop her facade, but to see her friends face and to hear his voice again...

It feels nice.]

Yes, it's me. Are you all right?
