A-ahhh.... Hello? Good day, this is Tohru Honda. [She sounds highly nervous and uncertain of what she's doing, talking to this machine like it's a phone. It's just a screen. So advanced! And DVDs had surprised her; this was even beyond that! All the same, she smiles brightly.] This is almost like being a secret agent with a secret device I'm speaking into. Like contacting headquarters!

[But, sadly, the reality isn't as glamorous, and she gets right back to the matter at hand.]

I was told by the kind woman that I could get more information this way. It would be very appreciated if someone has the time.... If not, that's alright! I can probably read around and listen for what others say.

The letter she gave me said I was - [she's still stunned by this!] brought here to restore color. To help. To flourish.

I'm uncertain how much help I can be with that, but I will try my best, if you will have me. And if you will, I am more than happy to give my all here. I am very honored.

[She tries to, and thinks that she did, shut the feed off. The screen is still there, no longer floating but fixed in place, however - she's looking through the names listed - it's just switched to voice as Tohru didn't quite push the right button in her nervousness. This sort of technology is very new to her.]

I left without being able to tell anyone. And Uo-chan and Hana-chan. What will they think when I turn up missing? I can't turn away if this place needs help. I wish I had been able to tell them....

And Kyo-kun. [She trails off there, any further thoughts being so personal she won't even mutter them out loud.]

I should go look for where I need to stay.
[Feed shuts off.]

[Just to turn on again five minutes later. Tohru is looking up at the sky - with owls everywhere - in awe.] Look at all the birds! [No, it doesn't occur to her they shouldn't be out during the day.] So pretty.... I'm not used to seeing so many at once!

[Yes, she just had to tell you that. Now it's off. For good this time, really.]

You seem to be taking this pretty well... But, what have you already heard?

voice;

[riceballfruit]

[She's surprised when the device speaks to her, the note of being startled in her tone.] Oh! Only what the letter said. Is there much more?

voice;

[takebow]

Well... I mean, there's a whole city out here, but they do cover the basics pretty well, I think.

[ Rei was going to introduce himself until she brings up the owls. ]

That's actually really strange.

[ no context sry ]

video

[riceballfruit]

Yes, I know I'm strange. I'm sorry.

[nekojindesu]

Oh! No, that's not what I meant! I was talking about the owls. They're nocturnal, so it's unusual that they're out.

[ To himself: ] Then again, I guess things are different around here.

[Action?] 1/?

[burntviolet]

[The girl seems to be taking this well, and she also sounds nice, maybe Hanako could try to speak to her-]

[Action?] 2/?

[burntviolet]

[....What...what is that...

Owls... so many of them... in the daylight? Even though she doesn't often go outside, she still knew that was not a normal event... Seriously what's going on???]

[Audio] 3/3

[burntviolet]

[...Oh yeah, Tohru. A few minutes later, after recollecting some calm, she puts her device on audio and speaks very softly.]

Hello... Um... a-are you by chance in Sygin too...?

[Audio] - she's not sure yet how to switch it quickly and doesn't want to leave anyone waiting

[riceballfruit]

[Maybe they're not far from each other, and could speak to each other in person, but Tohru's using the decide all the same.]

Yes, I am. [She doesn't think it odd for someone to realize that.] Maybe we could go together? The map is fairly easy to understand, but it's always nicer with company.

[mistakenidentity]

You seem to be handling all of this quite well Ms...Honda? Was it?

[Better than he did..to say the least.]

[Video] 2/2

[mistakenidentity]

But all those owls?..Are you sure they were owls?

[He supposes it's not too terribly odd to see an owl or two in the day time..but so many?

Yeah, that might be a little strange.]

not here 1/2

[pervertedly]

[well well! look who it is! Shigure was actually ready to reply, but stopped once he realized there was more.


isn't it just like Tohru to worry about the others...]

video.

[pervertedly]

[it doesn't take long, though, for Shigure to finally get a reply sent to her. and look at that smile!]

If it isn't Tohru! Making her grand entrance into the city I see!

forever slow poke is me, 1/4

[hatecomplex]

[It takes him a moment to process what greets him on the NV, its almost like its nothing. That he's never been gone from home at all, that she's been here all this time. But he knows that's really not true. But it still doesn't change the fact that its incredibly surreal]

Tohru..? [He blurts out her name without thinking, what can he say , he doesn't think she's actually here right]

[hatecomplex]

[And wait, the way she said that just now, did she-]

[hatecomplex]

[Wait, why does that make him feel wierd and kinda happy, that shouldn't make him feel ridiculously happy, right? He's just excited to see her. Dammit, its silly that she does that to him sometimes. Silly and random]

okay out of five

[hatecomplex]

[Yeah, he just misses her there's no other reason, right?]

done

[hatecomplex]

[But hey that won't stop him from tsuning not making it seem that way, and acting normal. Yeah, acting normal totally]

They're just birds, ya know.

[Voice]

[rarimatiger]

[Kisa listens to the voice for a few moments before she timidly responds. She hopes this isn't a trick and that it is her cousin.]

...Onee-chan?

[Voice]

[riceballfruit]

Kisa-chan!

Kyo-kun said you were here, but.... [Wow, conflicting emotions. Should she be happy or worried, or insist Kisa be sent home? She's younger, but if she wants to help, Tohru would believe she has the right to.]

Do you like it here?

[snakescharm]

Eh? Could it be?

video: 2/2

[snakescharm]

[Eyes widen and can you see the excitement?]

TOHRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Feel the excitement!]

video: 1/2

[riceballfruit]

[She does! She does feel it, and is a little excited herself, but then also overwhelmed by it.]

Ayame-san! You're here as well? What house are you in?

[riceballfruit]

Ah, you're not upset to have been kidnapped either? [What if he was and he just didn't want to show that?]
