[Hello, Luceti. If you happen to glance at your journal this fine evening, you might catch a single streak of what looks like dark mud splash across the page -]

[Voice] - /BUSTS INTO THIS POST chiisaichou May 10 2011, 03:44:16 UTC

[That voice--! It...no. No, it just couldn't be. There was no way her luck was this good. No way she'd actually find Issun here as well, so shortly after Ammy came back. Much of what he said goes well over her head, and for a moment, Miyabi can't seem to find her voice to inquire. It just could be. She wanted it to be him, she really did, but...but--]

Is...Issun?

[Voice] - /TAKES YOUR COAT AND OFFERS YOU A DRINK celestialbug May 10 2011, 03:54:23 UTC

[Oh, that makes Issun stop in his tracks. Nine months, nine years, nine centuries, there is no mistaking that voice - and his first thought is wondering what she's doing out of Ponc'tan, and if this is Yoshpet, and most of all: it's been nine months. That's nothing for a poncle...but when your last conversation with a dear friend was a fight, it can seem like a lot longer.]

[He doesn't quite know whether to be irritated or happy yet. Partly, he's confused over where the hell her voice came from. Mostly, he's just plain confused.]

...Miya?

[Voice] - /SIPS DRINK. -LIKE A BOSS- chiisaichou May 10 2011, 04:20:00 UTC

[Nine months, nine years, nine centuries, no matter how long it was, that confirmation - his voice uttering her name - brings a smile so big it hurts to her face. It was him. It really was! He...he was here! Issun, a-and Ammy, too! Miya laughed, a sob cutting in at the end, and she wiped her face. Idiot, don't cry! Not now.]

I-It really is you! Where are you?! Are you okay? I-I can come find you!

[Voice] celestialbug May 10 2011, 04:33:22 UTC

[...she's happy to see him. He thinks he's happy to see her, too, but the lingering irritation from their last conversation finally settles in, and he realizes that there's something wrong about this.]

[He'd yelled at her, telling her to buzz off for simply being happy to see him, denouncing her painting - those are offenses she would never forgive him for so soon. He's still confused, but now, mostly, he's suspicious.]

Of course I'm okay! And just where are you, anyway?! Don't tell me you're hidin' from me in a time like this!

[Voice] chiisaichou May 11 2011, 22:08:43 UTC

[Miyabi's not thinking much on their previous fight, her happiness weighing over anything negative she may have been feeling before. She can't bring herself to remember the fight they had in Nippon so long ago. What was it now for her, since she's been in Luceti? ...A year? Longer? Eh, it doesn't matter now.]

What? Of course I'm not hiding! Why would I-- [...Oh. R-Right.] Ah, that's right! The jour--book! I'm talking through that. Uhm...I-I'll explain everything when I find you okay, so tell me where you are.

[Voice] celestialbug May 11 2011, 22:27:07 UTC

Huh? It's some kinda river leadin' into a lake...hey, wait a minute! [Short attention span is short >> Issun picks his tiny little journal up and turns it to the side, squinting.] You're tellin' me you're talking through this thing?

[Voice | Action] chiisaichou May 14 2011, 20:18:38 UTC

[Okay, so a river and a lake...ugh, but which one? Miyabi's hustling to pull on her shoes, hurry outside, and whistle for a bird, but she's glances into her journal just for a second.] I-I'll explain everything when I get there, so you better not move one inch! I'll be there in a little bit, I promise.

[And though it's not exactly a little bit, Miyabi arrives in pretty decent time. She had checked the first lake only to find no sign of Issun, and the beelined for this one. Lucky her this was the correct location. She bird she was on spots the green glow first, and descends.]

Issun!

[Action] hurr hurr YOU SAW NOTHING. celestialbug May 15 2011, 04:07:31 UTC

What a load! [Issun tosses the journal to the ground, grumbling as it closes.] That's a dirty trick, using Miya's voice! Well, too bad, ya dumb Demon Slip! I ain't fallin' for it!

[He bounces back over to the riverside with the intention to wash off and maybe follow the river upstream. Luckily, he ends up spending more time than would be wise fighting with some small specks of mud on his white cotton pants - which gives Miyabi plenty of time to find him.]

[At his name, Issun jumps in surprise, spinning just in time to see her descend.]

M-Miya?! You really are here?!?

[Action] no, nothing at all. |D /lawls at chiisaichou May 17 2011, 17:08:21 UTC

[Climbing off the bird she rode - who was staring hungrily at the little green speck - she hurries over to her friend, half stumbling from excitement and disbelief. She can't believe it...it really was Issun! She just can't believe her good luck. For a moment, all she wanted to do was fling herself at him, make sure he was real and she wasn't dreaming, but thankfully, she doesn't.

She just stops in front of him, wings fluttering anxiously - a note of just how pleased she was.]

Of course I'm here! I said I was, didn't I?! Now I...I have a lot to explain, and it's all true, so...so you better not interrupt, okay?

[Action] :c celestialbug May 19 2011, 02:23:29 UTC

[Issun is, miraculously, quiet for a few moments as he squints at Miyabi. Nothing seems out of place - he hasn't noticed her wings yet - but he's still not entirely convinced that this isn't some elaborate hoax. He crosses his arms, huffing.]

All right, I'm listening. But don't even think about tryin' to pull a fast one over me, got it?

[Action] d'aww D: /pities. chiisaichou May 20 2011, 22:52:07 UTC

[The only difference Issun may spot right off the bat is that the girl's hair is somewhat longer than before. It has been nearly a year and a half since she's been in Luceti, and she's only been cutting off a few inches at a time by herself - anything more she's afraid will be uneven. And her wings, now that she's less agitated, fold and nestle upon her back.]

Bah, I just hope you don't fall asleep...it's a long story. I'll paint on your face if you do, so listen! [She takes a deep breath and--] This isn't Nippon anymore. I-I don't exactly know how, but...a bunch of really bad people called the Malnosso took a whole lot of people from all kinds of different times and places - different worlds even - and brought them here, to Luceti. We're stuck here until they decide to send us back, and we can't go very far. A barrier's all around us, keeping us "safe", from...something. I don't really know.

A-Anyway, we've all been given a set of wings, [She turns a little, and flutters her own.] and they're really sensitive, so don't mess with ( ... )

[Action] PITY IS FOR CHUMPS. celestialbug May 21 2011, 08:57:54 UTC

You gotta be kidding me! Who the heck would believe a story that crazy?! [Issun's glow begins to burn, becoming a a bright red, and his arms cross over his chest.] You're gonna have to try a lot harder than that, ya sleazy fake!

[Action] - /GIVES A STEAMING PONCLE, THEN. 1/3 chiisaichou May 22 2011, 02:20:08 UTC

[Action] - 2/3 chiisaichou May 22 2011, 02:21:09 UTC

[Oh, you can't be serious! Issun is thick, but not that thick!]

[Action] - 3/3 chiisaichou May 22 2011, 02:27:44 UTC

[Miyabi stomps over toward him, her own aura turning red hot, the sparkles more like sparks as she reaches out and...

Pinches his cheek, pulling hard.]

IDIOT! IT'S THE TRUTH! And who are, are you calling a fake, eh...eh?! I'm the real thing, whether you like it or not! I'm the one who watched you run off from Ponc'Tan because you supposedly gave up on painting, I'm the one one who waited a year only to see you run off again, and I'm the one who's right here and now, Issun! It's me, Miya!

[Who the hell do you think I am?!]
