Twenty-Fifth Ink Drop [Voice | Drawn]

[chiisaichou]

[In the forest, plopped on the top of a mushroom, is a small, glowing, sparkling ball of light. Yes, it's Miyabi, and she is indeed back from her kidnapping at last, sitting on her rump and feeling pretty groggy. It seems the Malnosso didn't factor in how the painkillers would affect her system once the little poncle was shrunk down to her original

You see it, too? It's really pretty...

The River of the Heavens? ... Maybe that's why I can't stop watching it...

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

Isn't it? And all the fireflies here, too! I think they like me, they're all around... I wonder if I can touch them.

U-Uh huh! [She smiles, trying to keep her body up and not fall over again.] It's the cel-cel...est...ial--err. ...S' the stardust river in the sky!

[Voice]

[lilblackfeather]

Where are you? Can I come and see, too?

Uwah... it even sounds pretty...

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

In the forest! ...Somewhere. I don't really know. everything's all...weird and fuzzy. And spinning.

It is! Though this river doesn't loooook like stardust. S'more like light.

[Voice]

[lilblackfeather]

Oh! I'm near there. I can find you easy if they're making a lot of light like you say.

Yeah... it's bright.

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

Yes! The light is very, very bright. You can come if you want... [A long, extended pause as the girl rubs her eyes. She was starting to get really tired, and her eyes were kind of stinging a little, too. How strange. Oh well, she smiles, laying down the the mushroom she was on.]

My name is...mm...Miyabi. You can just call me Miya, if you want. What's your name~?

[Voice]

[lilblackfeather]

Okay, I'll go there soon, then!

I'm Cooro! Nice to meet you, Miya!

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

Okay, I'll be waiting! Look for the fireflies!

It's very nice to meet you as well, little Cooro. [If he notices, Miyabi is saying his name with a slight lilt. Probably because she's still woozy, she's pronouncing his name like the Japanese term for black - kuro.]

[Voice]

[lilblackfeather]

Alright!

[ It's close enough that he won't pay it mind. He'll go searching along, making a happy sound when he spots the 'fireflies' she's mentioned. ] Miyaaa?

[Voice]

[chiisaichou]

[Though she had been resting atop the mushroom, feeling heavy and lightheaded from the painkillers flowing through her, she awakens when she hears that loud and happy voice.

Feel free to noice another bright, sunshine yellow light, Cooro, hopping once and sparkling slightly.] That's me! H-Hello~!

[Voice]

[lilblackfeather]

[ He looks pretty impressed with how small she is and goes over, crouching down to try and see her better. ]

Uwaaaah... Miya, you're really teeny. What are you?

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

[Oh, if she wasn't so drugged up on painkillers and all other sorts of medicines, Miyabi would be, quite literally, hopping mad. Instead, she just slurs out softly--]

M'not tiny! I-'m...I'm a poncle!!

[Action]

[lilblackfeather]

What's a poncle?

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

Uh...th-that's what I am! I'm an, uh... [How does she explain what she is? Urgh, her head hurt enough with the drugs, and now she had to think? Oh, dear.] A-A forest sprite who paints! Mm...pictures of the gods in...Ni-Nippon.

[Action]

[lilblackfeather]

Oh! Wow, I'm meeting a lot of forest spirits!

Ummm, are you alright, though?

[Action]

[chiisaichou]

O-Oh, really? There are more of us here? [She hadn't seen any other poncles around.]

Yes, I'm--[Miyabi yawns loudly, rubbing at her eyes.]--fine... Just very sleepy.
