1 ♡ video/action for new bark!

[hibiscushield]

[ It's evident that Orihime adores her Happiny by the way she's holding the Pokemon up in the air by the waist. ]

Ahaha, you're so cute! [ Happiny squeals happily in response as Orihime inspects the Pokemon at eye-level. ] Ohh, you're so tiny, I could just pack you up in my bag and take you home with me!!

[ But her excitement is short-lived,

[Ah, friends in danger - Coop knows what that's like, so his smile has a solemnly apologetic nature to it.]

I wish I could give you better news, but no one here knows how to get back to our respective homes.

[video]

[hibiscushield]

[ Good, at least someone understands! But there's a brief pause before her response; it's the worst time for her to have been relocated, so... ]

M-Maybe nobody's looked hard enough...! There has to be one, right?

[video]

[blacklodged]

All logic suggest there should be one, but fact remains we've been unable to find it. However, if it makes you feel any better about the situation, time seems to stop back home for however long we remain here.

[Which he says with a calm conviction. You can trust a guy with a tone like this.]

[video]

[hibiscushield]

I understand... But if it's out there somewhere, there's no way that it can't be found. We'll just have to keep on looking!

[ And there's a sudden shift in tone and expression when she hears the second sentence: ] Wh...what...? [ Pause. ] Th-Then... you're saying that... if we were to return back home, it would be as if nothing ever happened?

[ She trusts him. ]

[ Ooh a new person! ]

Hello there Orihime-san~

Um, well Rena's not sure what to do to get home. People disappear from time to time, but... hauu...

Ooh, trying to save your friends? Rena was trying to save her friends back home, before coming here as well, but... it ended badly.

[hibiscushield]

H-Hello! It's nice to meet you, Rena-san! Ah, p-people d-disappear...? [ Looks a little horrified. ]

[ She makes a sympathetic face. All the times Orihime's tried to protect her friends, it never ended badly- then again, it wasn't exactly her who saved them all, so... ] I-Is that so...? I'm sorry to hear that...

[takechuhome]

Yeep, people have told Rena that meant they went back home...

It's okay, Rena's friends are in Johto so Rena feels better. Hauu~

[hibiscushield]

R-Really?! So there is a way out, then! I wonder how those people were able to find the exit!

Oh? [ Ponders for a bit. ] Then... maybe I have friends here, too! I should go look for them!

[rezoned]

[ was it that time already? new arrivals. might as well let her know now. ]

There's no known way to return. [ bluntly. ]

video;

[hibiscushield]

Mm... I've been told. B-But thank you for letting me know, anyway! [ She doesn't mind the bluntness. ]

video;

[rezoned]

You're welcome. [ at least... it's a kind of polite. distant blunt instead of rude one. not like there's really that much of a difference but. ] Has everything else been clarified?

video;

[hibiscushield]

[ Either way, she'd be okay with it. She can deal with blunt people no matter the extent. ] I... I think so? Um, well, actually, how long would it take to get to the next city? It's freezing cold outside and I don't think it would be a good idea for me to head out right now if it's gonna take a while!

[video]

[freezetheskies]

[Well. Here's a shock; he wasn't expecting to see her again...she looks older. How long has it been for her? Long enough for trouble to find them again, at least. ...Not that that takes long.]

You can't leave by choice. Whatever they've gotten into, they'll have to handle without you there for a time if things actually continue there.

[video]

[hibiscushield]

[ That voice... sounds all too familiar. ]

T...Toushirou-kun!! [ OH BOY she is so excited to see you, can you tell. She hasn't seen you in years! ] You're here...

[ She frowns a little, though, at that last part. She's worried sick about her friends and... ] A-Aah, right. I was told that time stops at home while we're here, so I think things should be okay...!

[video]

[freezetheskies]

[Sounds familiar and probably looks familiar, being that he hasn't aged a day from when she last saw him...probably.

And while the use of his given name gets a twitch to appear, he only nods.] As is Matsumoto. We've been here for some time now.

[Time that he knows hasn't flowed back home; experience colors his tone when he speaks again.] They should be. Five months passed here, but barely a moment had passed back home. Hopefully they can stay out of trouble for that long.

[video]

[hibiscushield]

Thank goodness you two are here! I thought that I would be surrounded by strangers the entire time, hehe.

I-I think they should be fine... Aah, why am I worrying so much? They don't need me to stay safe, right...? [ A sheepish grin. ]

Oh, Toushirou-kun, you look the same from when I last saw you!! Speaking of which, you guys haven't visited Karakura in a while!! [ Yes, she's trying to reprimand you. Only half-seriously, though. She just misses you all too much. ♥ ]

[buckyouup]

I'm real sorry, sugarcube. Nopony's managed t'find a way home, yet.

[Video]

[hibiscushield]

No no, there's no need to be sorry! We'll just have to keep on looking, right?

[Video]

[buckyouup]

[Oh, good. She's taking this a lot better than she expected. The last thing she wanted to do was break the heart of a sweet girl.]

Y'know, that's the best plan I've heard all day.

[Video]

[hibiscushield]

[ She's glad she could make you smile! ♥ ]

W-Well, there's no use being sad about it right? The most we can do is keep on searching for hints, and make the best out of our time here.
