Sezuri-Kai II

[buggereye]

[remember those funny seashells from a few days ago? well, they're still on the beach. except this time, there is a hobo sitting near them, keeping an eye on them, the lake itself, and on anyone who happens to walk by. he is also pecking at his keyboard very, very slowly.]

ADVISORY: shouldn't approach beach. Sezuri-kai present. Not strictly

[sort of pinged by mysterious seashells ... wandering on the beach, but just looking.]

It's strange ...

[nomencature]

Is there anything we can do for them?

[buggereye]

[blinks a bit. then smiles.]

As long as they're on the beach and in their shells, they're safe enough.

[nomencature]

Alright. Thank you.

[buggereye]

[nods a little. then his expression darkens again.]

I still don't know what caused them to come up on shore to begin with.

[nomencature]

... it's impossible to ask them?

[buggereye]

They aren't that articulate. Or quite that vocal.

[nomencature]

Then we'll just have to wait and see, I guess ...

[buggereye]

[nods]

That's right.

... what's your name?

[nomencature]

--ah ... Natsume. What's yours?

[buggereye]

Ginko.

[reaches down to pick up a shell]

[nomencature]

[looks over at it, rather curiously]

[buggereye]

Don't get too close.

[very, very gently taps on the shell. and something moves inside it.]

[nomencature]

I won't. [but leans in just a little to look at it anyway, after hearing something moving]

[buggereye]

[keeps it at a safe distance. but if you look close, you can see a tiny white bird peeking its head out of the shell.]

[nomencature]

Ah ... hello. [smiling down at the shell]
