[ 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. ]

1/? AW YEAH

[starfishlovesyou]

[Who is this person. Why are they staring at Fuuko. Clutching her starfish tighter when Kotomi approaches. She's being watched just as carefully, after all she might be a weird guy...]

2/?

[starfishlovesyou]

[And now she's speaking a whole bunch of languages, WHAT DO? What are you doing--]

Wait! Stop that! Fuuko remembers you!!

3/3

[starfishlovesyou]

You're the person who knows more about the starfish than Fuuko! It's impossible for Fuuko to forget such an outstanding display of knowledge.

[Oh. What was her name. Tomoya said it a bunch of times, right?]

Kotomi, Kotomi, Kotomi!!

[etudes]

[ 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.

[daisy023]

[English and hungarian would have been good enough, but the red armor stands still expecting ten languages at most, but when Kotomi goes through every language known to man, the armor stands remains as a statue as she wonders how to interrupt her. ... It is impressive.

The armor finally talks, with something similar to the voice of Tomoyo Sakagami.]

... I speak english.

[Action] 1/2

[fateofafencer]

[He was looking through his journal for personal reasons, though now he's not sure why he's looking at it anymore.
In any case, a girl soon approaches him and very strangely enough, bowed, then saying "Hello", and after that... What is all that she's sputtering? He understood "Bonjour", which was also hello, just in a different language. And "Konnichiwa", which is also "hello" in another language.
Okay... So she's just saying "Hello" in many languages. So he wonders, "Why?" 2 "Why"'s, actually. "Why would she?" and "Why him?"]

[rashness]

[Rin, when he's approached, actually lets her go through maybe eight or so before it dawns on him he doesn't understand what she's saying but he knows what they mean. That... that can only mean one thing! One amazing thing! As he stares, wide-eyed, he lets her go through maybe six more before-]

They made me smart?!

[cherishedmiracle]

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

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

[presumablyalone]

[At first, when she approaches him, Seto just listens to her go on, not knowing what to do since she didn't stop after hello. It's amazing that she knows so many languages, especially Japanese and English! ...But it's still pretty difficult for him to take of it in, especially when he can't write the words down somewhere to remember them.

So he holds his hands up and flails them a little, smiling nervously] A-Aha, hello there.

[Action] 2/2

[fateofafencer]

[So he's had about enough after the 15th language by now. He's assuming the reason she's speaking all these languages is because she doesn't know if he understands English. Is he the first person she meets?]

You don't have to speak in so many languages.

[But in all honesty, he's surprised how many languages she has learned. Maybe she only learned "hello" for all of them?]

[bloodypocket]

[... There's no way he could not respond to this message when he knew the language of origin for half those words.] Are you proficient with all these languages?

[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..

[etudes]

... Oh, that makes it easier.

[ Because clearly Kotomi expected to meet people who spoke Swahili or anything of the like here. The whole armor thing is a little weird though, but.. hey, it's Kotomi, she just swings with it. ]

It's very nice to meet you in that case, English robot-san. [ Armor, so it clearly must just be a robot, right!! ] My name is Kotomi Ichinose. You spell 'Kotomi' with three wonderful Japanese hiragana. When refering to me, please call me 'Kotomi-chan'.

[ She almost says it like it's some automatized introduction. ]
