[Good morning residents of 1250 Williams Road. It seems you have a new daughter, an unfortunately pale sickly looking kid that's wandering around the house in a daze, confused as to why she's back here. She was home, dammit, and wanted to stay

[On his way to school as usual in the morning, and stopping by to see if Margot wanted to go with him, Crowe gets to the front yard of their house when he sees Nadia sitting there on the porch.

He just stops and stares a moment. He can't believe his eyes.

In a small voice:] ....Nadia?

[tooshallpass]

[Margot had left way early that morning, off to finish a project at the school library or something, completely unaware that her sister is back. Nadia's been looking for her and she's taking a shock break out on the porch.

She looks up when Crowe calls her name, blinking in surprise.]

Ah. Yes. Crowe?

[perfektsymmetry]

[He approached cautiously. Last he saw her was as your average drone, flitting about school. This was a big change. He wasn't sure how he felt. Was she...?]

Y-yes.... a-are you....?

[tooshallpass]

[A slightly disgruntled look passes across her face; she's not annoyed with him, but the situation in general. Either way, it's not a very drone like manner.]

Yes. Nadia Sullivan, age fourteen, citizen of the country of Eridian. Can you please tell me what I'm doing back here?

[makemebreakfast]

[Have a not!mom approach her later in the evening.]

Oh, so you're back? Your sister sure was upset while you were gone. I would say I'm glad you're back because of that...but then again I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

[tooshallpass]

I never thought to be... [Sits, hands folded in her lap.] Still, it's good to see you again. I trust you've been okay?

[makemebreakfast]

Oh yea, I've been just fine.

Sorry you had to end up back here though. So, you remember everything from when you were here before? Did you remember being here when you went back?

[tooshallpass]

Ah... I didn't remember a thing while I was there. It was like -- like everything came flooding back the moment I woke up. Gave me a bit of a headache, quite honestly.

[bloodon_myknife]

[He'd walk over and stand by the fence, not intruding for now. He had come over after seeing her from his roof.]

I wish I could say it was good to see you acting strange. Though I take it this means your back with us?

[tooshallpass]

Mister Sniper!

[She'll tie her bathrobe tighter around herself because, really, she's in her pajamas and finds it a bit unseemly. :(]

Unfortunately yes. It does mean I'm back.

[bloodon_myknife]

I am sure your sister will be glad to see you even if she won't be happy you're stuck here again.

[It was a shame, but this was just a reminder he had to get his work done. At least she missed Westport he supposed.]

If it matters any, my promise still stands. I'll get you all out of here eventually.

[tooshallpass]

Thank you, but... ah, how long was I gone for? There's a different man in the pictures now, suppose he's to be our father, but... [Shakes her head, looking lost once more.]

My sister... Margot. Is she okay? Crowe told me that she was still here, but she was there too.

[windmill]

[Christ, he doesn't even bother answering the phone call. He's pounding on the door of 1250 Williams.]

[tooshallpass]

[Nadia will answer the door only after peeking out the window. Opening the door tentatively, she'll give him a wan smile.] Ah, Mister Netherlands. Good to see you again.

[windmill]

[He moves as if to try to hug her, and doesn't, and just steps back a little, looking somewhat weak in the knees.]

Nadia-...

[tooshallpass]

[She frowns, biting her lip and reaches out a hand tentatively.]

Are you -- are you okay, do you need to sit down..?

[sinfulcattleya]

[Youji passes Nadia in the hallway, but pauses and backs up a few steps when he notices she doesn't have that usual drone smile on her face.] ...Hey. Are you feeling okay? You're looking a bit different than usual.

[tooshallpass]

Ah, q-quite alright, I suppose. I don't... I don't think we've been formally introduced? You are the new head of the household, correct? [So formal. /sob]

[sinfulcattleya]

Wait a minute. You're not droned anymore, huh? Glad to hear it. I guess I'm the new head of household. I'm Youji Kudou. You're Nadia, yeah? [Suuuper casual & friendly, like usual]

[tooshallpass]

[And this gets a polite, though tight smile.] I would be, yes. Nadia Sullivan. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mister Kudou.
