[Manjoume, in his black mage-ness, is standing by a large-ish pond that's within walking distance of the town. There are various fish-like semi-human-shaped creatures living around it in little straw and possibly bamboo structures, and they seem to be talking amongst themselves in a gutteral, incomprehensable language

Manjyome-kun?!

Is that you?

[kuroi_sanda]

Yeah, that's m-

[And now he pauses, as he realizes that he's heard that voice before, but not here.

And now he realizes just -where- he's heard that voice before, and confirms it by looking toward the sphere.

And now he's going to jump as though he's seen an unexpected ghost.]

F-F-Fubuki-san?!? When did you get there?

[Why yes, feel free to notice that the mun fails with honorifics the aetypical honorific usage for a Manjoume.]

[redeyesblizzard]

So it's really you!
Ah, I'm relieved that there's at least one person I know~♥
Is Asuka here, too?

[Fubuki smiles happily.]

Just now, I believe.
Why do you ask? Have you been here for longer?

[Just then Fubuki's smile turns into a worried look - even if only slightly.]

Majyome-kun ...?
Did something happen or why ... don't you call me "Nii-san" anymore?
I admit I liked the sound of it.

[kuroi_sanda]

[He shakes his head.] I haven't seen her or any other duelists here, and I've been here for two and a half months now.

[Also, have a look of honest confusion at that last bit, though trying to be as polite as he can be.] Why would I call you that?

Sorry, I'm late, but I gotta.

F-fishmen....

That's all right. I'm fine with backdating. ^^

[kuroi_sanda]

[A shrug.] Apparently. And they've been harrassing the villagers.

[havea_fireball]

[Guess what, not too far away you can probably hear a bit of yelling.]

DIGGER BOLT!!
