PC Catchall for Natsuno

Comments

week 4 tuesday post meeting!

[sotoshini]

[ Natsuno's kind of at the periphery of the meetings like a sullen moody gargoyle. He doesn't often speak though, but he appears to listen from time to time but is more than happy to let everyone else do the talking. This past meeting with hearts, palaces and treasures actually leaves him with questions though, which he decides to revisit later after everyone's dispersed. Knock-knock. ]

Takamaki are you in? It's Koide.

[fullbodied]

[well, she does open her door! Mokona is on her shoulder. and though she looks a little surprised at first, she smiles at him.]

Hey, Koide-kun. What's up?

[sotoshini]

I wanted to ask you about—what's that? [ He has not seen Mokona before. ]

[fullbodied]

This is Mokona.

Kimihiro-kun is lending him to me for now.

[sotoshini]

A pet? [ Looking curiously. ]

[fullbodied]

I would hesitate to call him that...

But he's keeping me company.

[mokona jumps and whaps him

... he's not a pet]

[sotoshini]

[ Blink, blink.

Well Natsuno doesn't seem to mind....? ]

I see. Can I come in?

[fullbodied]

Mmhm. Come on in.

[it's as clear as an invitation as he could get!

She steps back to let him in.

Her room is rather plain-- except for the clothes that are strewn around.]

[sotoshini]

[ Thk god because asking for clarification is awkward as she knows. Stepping in, taking a quick look around but not commenting on the clothes. ]

I wanted to ask you about Watanuki. You said that he was conflicted about whether to stay human or become a witch, mn?

SUNDAY WEEK 5/6?

[fullbodied]

[time... to check on Koide. Especially after everything.]

Koide?

[Ann is keeping up her cheerful appearance, as much as possible]

[sotoshini]

[ Maybe surprisingly, it doesn't take Natsuno that long to answer. His eyes are bright red like they when he was resurrected, and his face is stoic as always but he doesn't look the worst. ]

Takamaki. [ ... ] Come in.

[ There's a lot of stuff in this room now, seashells and books on the desk, a giant sword in the corner, and the fluffy !pompom Anon plush on the bed. Also so many damn clothes in his closet. ]

[fullbodied]

[sooo many clothes.]

Ah... I see you still have everything.

[said as she walks in. She folds her hands behind her back.]

... How are you? Do you remember anything from the past week?

[sotoshini]

Why wouldn't I?

[ He's going to wander over to the bed and sit. ]

Fine. [ ... ] I saw what you did, if that's what you're asking.

[fullbodied]

[she smiles a little bit at that.]

... I couldn't help but ask. But I wasn't gonna make you do something you didn't want.

[sotoshini]

[ Running a hand through his bangs. ]

Thanks. That thing was...it was like a me who accepted everything about Sotoba and just turned into another mindless villager. Like I finally became what everyone else wanted me to become after all.

[fullbodied]

So you really are possessed. Possessed, and yet aware?

[which is frightening because... ryuji.]

[sotoshini]

Mn. Yes and no.

[ ... ]

What's dead is dead, right? That's how things should be.

week 6 tuesday afternoon

[sotoshini]

[ There are random things in the world, and then there's Natsuno showing up at Ann's door dressed in a formal kimono in this color and pattern. ]

Takamaki, can I get your opinion on something?

[fullbodied]

[she's looking at something at something on her phone, but when he calls her name, she looks up

and blinks.]

Hey... What's the occasion?

[sotoshini]

[ Shutting the door behind him. ]

This? [ Pointing at his current get up. ] It's what Watanuki requires of his pieces. But that's the reason I'm here too. I don't usually wear things this traditional, and the examples the goats gave me... [ Holding up a fashion magazine with goat models on the cover. ]

[fullbodied]

Oh.

I can maaaaaaybe help with that, depending on the question. Keep in mind, I'm almost considered a gaijin back home.

[and so she sets aside her phone.]

So, what's the question? Besides... ignoring the goats.

[sotoshini]

Your style is still better than anyone else's here. [ He did mean what he said back at the impromptu fashion show. As for the question, he tosses her the magazine. ]

If there's anything even in here worth considering.

[ > Look into the depths of goat fashion? ]

[fullbodied]

[> look into the depths of goat fashion.

she flips the pages a bit and--]

Ooohh, I like this one.

[sotoshini]

Hn, that's not bad. I like the patterns. There's some really weird ones in the back.

[ Indeed, there are a lot of strange fashion choices in this magazine. Towards the back though, Ann will find something else entirely. The page is for an advertisement for a goat wearing a tophat but instead of a full fashion fold below there are a bunch of cutout words glued onto the page from other spreads. The words read:

Lady Panther,
the Rocking Dame of Fortitude

Keep on fighting the best you can, because you got this.
Ignore anything that tries to put you down, keep rising up.
Some fights are tougher alone, that's for sure, but you're
Strong, strong enough to win this for everyone you care about.

From,
a numb skull ]

[fullbodied]

[she just stares at the page for awhile.

letting it sink in. and then she just tears that page out.

that page is hers. he can't have it. she's doing her best to not cry, but it's obvious that her eyes are watery, and that she's on the verge of tears anyway]

... I can't believe him.
