009 - voice/action, fourth wall

[controlroute]

[See Atsuro. See Atsuro run through the village, speaking frantically into his journal.]

Hero! Yoohoo! Naoya's back!

[See Atsuro notice that there are an awful lot of people around, very few of which he recognizes; they can't all be residents.]

And he... brought some friends?

[overtalking]

[Hey there, mr. tech geek. There's a girl standing here, just chilling, watching the crowds.

She also has a glowing red ring above her head.]

[controlroute]

[Aah!

...Oh, it's not a number, that's good. Not that he'd know what one looks like anyway. He can't help but be curious about that one though, so he walks up to her.]

Um.. hi. Did you know you're... glowing?

[Okay, he just implied she was pregnant. Cut him some slack, it didn't sound that awkward in his head.]

[overtalking]

[well, it's not one number... but a stream of various numbers and data which is probably more intelligible to him than it would be to most people. As she turns to look at him, the ring switches from red to green.]

Do you require something?

[controlroute]

[He can see it now that he's a little closer. It's kind of neat, actually, reminds him of Naoya's coat.]

No, I didn't mean to bother you. I'm just... wondering about that ring above your head.

[loveandrageho]

[APPEARING dramatically atop a snowdrift] You're that hee-human, ho!

[controlroute]

[...Out of all the people from the lockdown he could have seen here, Black Frost probably wouldn't have been his first choice. If he even counted as a person.]

Uh, yeah! Black Frost, right? Midori's friend.

[loveandrageho]

[unfortunately he was the easiest to pick up for a random event sob]

Hee-ho, right! Have you been protecting the weak, ho?

[controlroute]

[His opinion of him goes up considerably when he remembers how cute he is though.]

Haha, whenever I can. Most of the people around here fend for themselves pretty well though. I think I'm the weak one.
