01 Without competing with them, and settles...

[waraeyayomae]

[Sunny. A true sky. The young woman shields her eyes. Warm. No scent of something rotting in the wind. She brings her hand down, smoothing out the meaningful right over left folds of her kimono with thin fingers. Different. Not as peaceful, not as funeral. She moves like water. Wandering, flowing, going wherever the next path directs her to move,

[well, here's one who would probably miss you entirely if she hadn't heard the rustling of the parasol as she passes by]

Good evening!

[waraeyayomae]

[The young woman turns at the greeting. It has been the first formal one. She is about to bow in greeting, to remain silent, but she notices: no sight.] ...Good evening, Lady. [There is a smile in her voice.]

[noeyestosee]

[laughs] Please! Call me Miku! Lady makes me feel old!

[waraeyayomae]

Miku-dono... [She's just this respectful to anyone, really.] No, you are not old...I did not mean to offend. [Have another bow.]

[noeyestosee]

No offence taken! [offering a hand in your approximate direction] Miku Hatsune!

[waraeyayomae]

[...this is a western greeting, is it not? She takes the hand, shaking it softly. You may notice she's got an extra eye on the palm of her hand there.] Call me Katarite. [It literally means Storyteller.]

[noeyestosee]

[....]

Pardon me for intruding, but...

[waraeyayomae]

[She shifts her weight. Oh, yes...she must have felt that.] It is nothing to worry about, Miku-dono. [She draws her hand away, placing it on the parasol once again.] A simple eye, not open. It seems they cannot discern the truth from the false here...

[noeyestosee]

[...ah, must be some kind of spirit. why does she keep running into them?]

Ah, it's no problem! Are you new?

[waraeyayomae]

My, everyone here has been so...polite. [She smiles.] I am new, but I have heard this place is called the 'Dressing Room'.

[noeyestosee]

[haa...]

Y-yes, it is. We're still not sure who named it.

It's a pleasant community nonetheless!

[waraeyayomae]

Maa, I can already tell... [She looks away for a moment before adding delicately:] You have enjoyed your stay here?

[noeyestosee]

Mhm! It's quiet, but pleasant.

[waraeyayomae]

[This is much different for her. She usually isn't one to speak, but more of one to use motions and expressions...still, she attempts to adjust. She extends her arm again.] Would you care to walk with me, if you would be so kind to tell me more?

[noeyestosee]

[hasn't a clue]

Certainly! Any destination in mind or simply to enjoy the evening?

[waraeyayomae]

[She will...try to link arms! Two women in kimono walking like this--it is not unusual, yes?

A destination or simply enjoying the evening would require a purpose. But, if it's not her own purpose, she'll oblige.] To wherever you find yourself most often returning to.
