[lamufao]

[When the foreigners wake up this Sunday, their senses will be returned to them but something strange will have happened to the city. The flora of the city appears to have changed. Flowers are blossoming on the trees and the park is overflowing with the delightful smell of flowers and cherry blossom trees which weren't there the night before. There

THE POND

[lamufao]

[scaresplants]

[Standing near the pond is one Anthony J. Crowley, who is looking over the proceedings with a smirk. He's not in what the Vatheonites gave him, but rather an outfit of his own devising- a suit with so much class and modern style that it would make companies like Dior insanely jealous at the sight of it. He's still wearing those sunglasses of his, though, even though it's rather dark...

He seems to be in a good mood, so why don't you go and talk? Don't worry, he won't bite.]

[libraria]

[ Nodoka, wearing this, walks up beside Crowley and peers at him, curious, before smiling brightly. ]

Crowley-san! Hello!

[scaresplants]

[Crowley turns, then grins at the sight of his little adventure tamer.]

Hey, Nodoka. [He gestures to her outfit.] Aren't you the pretty little princess?

[libraria]

[ Nodoka flushes and glances down at her dress. It's near identical to the one she had worn to the ball at home - just not, you know. Torn up and dirty. ]

Thank you! Y-You look very nice too, Crowley-san. Are you having fun?

[scaresplants]

Thanks, Nodoka. [He nods, then turns back to the pond, taking in the sights.]

Yeah, you could say I am. How about you? Are you having fun?

[libraria]

You're welcome!

[ She follows his line of sight, peering out. She feels a sense of nostalgia and she wishes, again, that she was at home. ]

Yes! I'm sure this is going to be a lot more fun than last week... I-It feels strange to be able to hear things again.

[scaresplants]

You were deaf the past week? Yeah, I met a couple of people who were like that. Me, I was without my sense of taste.

[He looks over at Nodoka, cocking his head to one side.]

How is it strange? You should be happy that everything's back to normal, right?

[libraria]

Ah, yes! I don't think I like not hearing everything.

[ She flushes and nods ]

Of course! I-It's just strange, getting used to it again!

[scaresplants]

[The demon chuckles, looking away from her and at the cherry blossom trees blooming by the side of the pond.]

I perfectly understand. It's funny how much we realize is important to us when something of importance is taken away, right?

[And there he goes, getting all philosophical like no one's business.]

[libraria]

... That's right.

[ Nodoka looks away now, too. She's thinking about her teacher (who she's totally in love with 8|) and is feeling pretty sad. She misses him something terrible. ]

[scaresplants]

[Crowley frowns, then walks over to the cherry blossom tree and plucks a tiny branch off. Then he walks back to Nodoka and hands it to her.]

Hey, no getting all sad, now. We all miss something or somebody around here, but you'd be wasting your life if you kept dwelling on that.

[That desire sensing trick never seems to fail.]

Anyways, these flowers would look good in your hair, I would think.

[libraria]

[ Nodoka flushes and takes the flower, putting it in her hair quickly. Yeah, she's pretty embarrassed right now, but she doesn't really mind. ]

T-Thank you, Crowley-san. I'll do my best n-not to think about it too much!

[scaresplants]

That's a good girl.

[He chuckles, then peers at the sky, only now really taking the music in.]

Where's that music coming from, I wonder?

[libraria]

[ Nodoka turns and looks around before her eyes widen. ]

Maybe it's magic!

[ ... Then she feels a bit silly. ]

O-Or there's a band somewhere. In the dark.

[scaresplants]

[Crowley turns to her, looking bemused.]

Actually, I believe that your first guess is correct. I didn't see a band anywhere, and nobody's playing those instruments on the stage.

[A pause.] Maybe it's the coral...
