[ So if you just happen to be walking through Luceti today, you might spot a girl sitting on the ground next to a tree at the side of the road. Her journal is opened in her lap, and it seems she's rather focused on reading it. See, there's nothing weird about that, but.. she's still wearing the New Feather dress and doesn't seem bothered or confused by the whole 'arriving in another place' ordeal in the slightest as long as she can read. In fact, she probably doesn't even realise she's not back home anymore, or that she has wings on her back. She's also turning the pages at a ridiculous speed, as if she needs barely any time to read a page. It looks more like she's skimming than anything else, but nope, she's actually reading all of that. ... Maybe someone ought to help her out.

Or you might run into her later during the day instead. If you're just standing somewhere around the village, you might find the girl staring at you for a long time, almost as if she's observing you long enough to decide something. After what is probably multiple minutes the girl might approach you a little hesitantly (she's making sure you're not a bully, okay, it's in everyone's best interests), only to quickly bow at you in greeting. ]

Hello. Bonjour. Guten Tag. Konnichiwa. Nihao. Salve. Hallo. [ Yes, she'll just start listing off 'hello's in almost every kind of language known to humankind to you. And if you don't cut her off, she'll continue until she has at least done it in 54 different languages. So better do something about that, yup. ]

[ She's blinking, and with that blinking she also stops listing off all the different variations of hello. Because this person talking to her here is calling her.. 'Kotomi'. Not 'Kotomi-chan', so..

She takes a step back, maybe shaking just a little, even though Fuuko is obviously smaller than her. ]

A.. are you a bully..?

1/2

[starfishlovesyou]

[Blink. What, no.]

Fuuko is not a bully. Fuuko only wanted to give you something that one time-- [Waaait, Kotomi... Probably wouldn't remember that. Uhm.] Fuuko is not a bully and Okazaki-san can vouch for me.

2/2

[starfishlovesyou]

[THIS IS ENOUGH OF AN INTRODUCTION. LET'S GO.]

Nagisa-san would love to see you, Kotomi-san. She's not feeling too well right now, but maybe you being there would cheer her up. [Moving to grab a hold of Kotomi's hand.] We need to go this way!

[etudes]

[ Blinking too.. wait, her hand is being grabbed, this is going too fast for her slow pace.. ]

'Okazaki-san'.. You mean.. Tomoya-kun? And Nagisa-chan? [ Good thing she doesn't realise she's somewhere completely else, really.. it gives her less questions. She'll just let herself be tugged around by the other girl, even if she still looks blank (as usual).. ] ... What's wrong with Nagisa-chan..?

[ yup, this sounds like a totally valid point to start and the most important question right now. Totally. ]

[starfishlovesyou]

[Oh of course. Who cares who the weird girl with the starfish who's now dragging you off somewhere is?]

That's right! The very same! [Drag, drag, drag. Off towards CH3~] Nagisa-san collapsed the other day, so now she has to have plenty of bed rest. She's very sick!

[etudes]

[ Of course, she's totally forgot about that already!! ]

C-collapsed..? [ Oh, now she actually seems worried, frowning a little. ] That's bad, definitely bad.. Does she have a fever?

[starfishlovesyou]

Very bad, very very horrible even! [TERRIBLE.] Yes, a very high fever at that! Fuuko doesn't know how to take care of her past spending time with her and getting things when Nagisa-san needs them.

[etudes]

[ drag drag drag, patter patter patter throughout Luceti.. ]

Maybe.. I can help.. I read things about it before. [ GENIUS GIRL TO THE RESCUE? ] Or..

[ she looks around her for a moment, at the surrroundings, almost a bit cluelessly. ]

I don't know where my violin is right now, but I could play something for her, maybe..

[starfishlovesyou]

Fuuko knew you would be able to help out! Your vast intelligence will surely have Nagisa-san soon nursed back to health.

[Run run run-- Play something?]

You... Can play the violin Kotomi-san? [Slowing down a little and looking around. The item shop would be... Over in that direction.] If you like, we can go find your violin! [...] Oh! You probably need your clothes too.

[Hang tight Nagisa, Fuuko is bringing you beautiful, beautiful music to help you feel better!]

[etudes]

[ Don't worry, I got this covered. And with 'this' I mean bad html apparently.. ]

Hmm.. [ For a moment she stands still there, glancing around.. but.. maybe she's doing the sensible thing for once. ] Maybe.. we should go see Nagisa-chan first, if she's doing so bad. If nothing else I can do works, we'll try the violin later.

[ She hasn't even noticed her clothes yet, yup. ]

[starfishlovesyou]

[Great. Now I can't get the idea of some sort of 80s comedic chase skit out of my head.]

Alright, we have to keep going this way then! [And awaaaay they go!] Fuuko will help you find your violin after we've checked on Nagisa-san!

[Warp to CH3? Y/N]

[etudes]

[ You know these two would have comedic chase skits all over the place. ]

T.. thank you, Fuuko-chan.. [ DRAGGED ALONG and yes let's warp warp warp so Mel can tag in here now? ]

[starfishlovesyou]

[All the chasing and FLEEING FROM THE TERRIBLE WONDERFUL VIOLIN PLAYING.

And so within a few minutes or so, Fuuko has dragged Kotomi back to CH3 and up to their room. Knocking quickly before pushing the door open and heading inside. You can have your hand back now Kotomi.]

Nagisa-san, Fuuko is home! Fuuko brought someone to see you who might be able to make you feel a little better.

[cherishedmiracle]

[Aaand Nagisa's in her room, resting so... She doesn't see them right now. But she does hear Fuuko!]

Eh...? [Who...?]

[etudes]

[ Thanks, she sort of liked that hand. And Kotomi is glancing around a little nervously now, since she might realise these are sort of new surroundings and oh god what is going out. But all the same she walks up to where Nagisa is a little, enough for the other girl to be able to see her. ]

Nagisa-chan.. Good day. [ Bowing a little. ] I was brought here..

[starfishlovesyou]

[Fuuko will be standing a little distance away, poking her head around Kotomi as she mentions that she was brought here. Damn right she was brought here. By Fuuko.]

Fuuko thought you would like to see Kotomi-san! She's a very smart person.

[cherishedmiracle]

[Nagisa just stares for a moment, trying to figure out what she's seeing. ...Kotomi? Kotomi-chan's here? Oh, right.. it's a new cycle right now, isn't it? As soon as it clicks, Nagisa's expression brightens up a bit and she gives a big smile.]

Kotomi-chan! You're here too now?

[etudes]

Hmm. Good day, Nagisa-chan.

[ And at that she's just going to politely bow, this is totally a normal situation, right.. ]

Fuuko-chan brought me here. [ Well, she figures her name is Fuuko from her way of talking, either way. ]

[starfishlovesyou]

[Fuuko has just gotten used to people knowing her name without her telling them at this point. Everyone must just be able to read minds or something, idek.]

You don't mind at all, do you Nagisa-san? Fuuko thought bringing Kotomi-san here was a good idea. She might be able to make you feel better!

[cherishedmiracle]

[That's exactly what it is, Fuuko.

In any case, Nagisa shakes her head, still smiling.] N-no no, it's okay! I'm very, very happy to see Kotomi-chan here, actually. So thank you, Fuu-chan!

[..Then again, what if she doesn't like it here like Tomoya... Aaah...]

[etudes]

[ Yup, everyone in Luceti is psychic but you, Fuuko. ]

Ah.. You're happy to see me, Nagisa-chan..? [ For a moment she looks surprised, but then she might actually look a little bit happy, smiling slightly. ]

... Thank you. I'm also very happy to see you here, even if you're sick..

[starfishlovesyou]

[Well damn, now she's just missing out.

Speaking of missing out:] Fuuko is happy to see you to Kotomi-san! [Fuuko is happy knowing person-who-knows-more-about-starfish-than-her is here after all.]

Fuuko will go and check on the third room we have to make sure it's okay... [Seeing as now Kotomi is here the natural thing to do IS TO KEEP HER HERE IN THE CLANPAD. Forever.

And out the door she goes to check. She won't be long.]

[cherishedmiracle]

[Nod nod.]

Mhhhm! Of course! We are friends, after all!

[She watches Fuuko run out, realizing what she's doing. ...F-Fuuko did you even ask. :'|a In any case! Nagisa turns back to Kotomi.]

Would you like to stay here with us, Kotomi-chan? We have another room, so..

[etudes]

[ See, at least Nagisa understood what Fuuko meant, it went completely over Kotomi's head (as most things do, really..). She does wave a little as Fuuko leaves the room, but aside from that she looks completely clueless until Nagisa asks her something. ]

... Stay with you..? [ It surprises her - she's been living on her own all this time though. But staying together with friends.. well, she likes the idea. So she even smiles a little. ] Would that really be okay..?

[starfishlovesyou]

More than okay! [Shouting from the other room.] It'll be nice having more people staying with us! [Though if someone else from home shows up then there'll be a problem.

...The Clanpad will have to evolve into the... Clan... Something... Related to houses.]

This room seems okay, there are no weird guys in the bed or anything. [Walking back in now. There was a weird guy in Fuuko's bed once. She hit him.]
