OH MAN I'mma go with Gnat Hat for now, might tag him in another mask later :]

[Careful, Yuri -- Pao-lin's heading towards the fountain with a steaming mug of hot tea to chillax in the midst of this wacky experiment, and she's gonna sit on you if you don't yell at her or get out of the way...]

XD Go ahead, nothing for Pao Lin?

[hear_thanatos]

[Judge Petrov would not stoop to so lowly a thing as scream in a chipmunk voice. He simply ducks and rolls out of the way- narrowly escaping a tumble into the fountain water while Pao Lin takes a seat. Upon which time he'll draw himself up to his full three and a half inches.] Be careful!

Nope! I'm a lazy-butt. 8D

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin glances down in the direction of the voice, and nearly drops her tea on Yuri.]

M-Mr. Petrov?

[She sets her tea aside, and then slides off the fountain to kneel on the ground, so she can get a better look at pocket-sized Yuri.]

Awww.

[hear_thanatos]

Ms. Huang. [Eyebrow lift. Now that we're all introduced and reaffirmed...] Can you take my journal to a secure location?

[He points at where his journal is on the cobblestones. He's clearly been unable to carry it since his transformation.]

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin glances over her shoulder, looking for the journal. When she spots it, she'll go over to pick it up, staring at it curiously. It feels kind of...invasive to be holding someone else's journal, even though she knows that it's not a typical journal that holds private thoughts and things like that.]

Um...what kind of secure location? [Oh!] Do you want me to bring it to your place ,or something?

cutest faises ever pao lin.

[hear_thanatos]

[And Yuri drops to the ground neatly.] No, I was moving to an apartment. It would be deserted and unlocked.

[Then the tiniest of smiles.] I'll trust that a Hero would know where would be best.

Pao-lin, the cutest kung fu master ever!

[lightningcute]

[FISTPUMP AWW YEAH.] You can count on me, Mr. Petrov! [She slips the journal into her duffel bag before leaning in close and whispering:] Maybe we can hide it on the roof of community housing 7? I live on the top floor there, and I'm usually the only one who goes onto that roof. [The only other person that she sees there on a semi-regular basis is Saten.]

heeyah!

[hear_thanatos]

[Up close, Pao-Lin's head is actually bigger than he is tall. Which is disconcerting. Yuri nods and looks at the dufflebag speculatively.] If you're sure. Rooftops are very accessible. I'll go with you to see it.

I can't wait 'til Pao-lin gets to tell Kotetsu about her adventures with chibi Yuri. |D

[lightningcute]

That's fine! [She follows his line of sight to her bag.] Ah...did you want to ride in my bag on the way? [That is what he meant by that look, right?]

Oh dear his dignity. XDD

[hear_thanatos]

[Clever girl.] It will be easier than a hand or a shoulder. [And he can get to your dufflebag all by himself, an added bonus.]

Pfft, he doesn't need a silly little thing like "dignity"!

[lightningcute]

That makes sense. [If she's weirded out by the thought of touching Yuri's journal, she's hella freaked out by the thought of touching Yuri himself. Especially when he's so itty-bitty. What if she breaks him?] Here, you can probably fit into this pocket here. [She sets her bag on the edge of the fountain and gestures at an open and thankfully empty pocket on the side of it and ohhhhhh man this is soooo weird.]

Gone are the good ol' days when he was 'Your Honor'.

[hear_thanatos]

[Yuri would be aghast at the idea of ending his days smooshed by a Hero's hand. As it is, he grabs a strap and climbs into the pocket, his wings flapping slightly when his shoes slip on the material of the bag. He manages to wedge himself inside, however. He hopes Pao-lin doesn't have anything sharp inside the bag.]

I'll try not to hang my head out. [Or get motion sickness.]

Or when he was "Palmface", for that matter.

[lightningcute]

[No worries, Yuri! Pao-lin left all of her pointy things at home only has things like a change of clothes, a water bottle, and some snacks inside her bag. She carefully hoists the bag onto her shoulder and sets off for her apartment building, walking at a brisk but hopefully comfortable pace. If Yuri ends up getting motion sickness from that, he'd better tell her so he can salvage some measure of his dignity.]

Yuri takes no responsibility for Kotetsu's mouth. :< Someone should clearly give him a dictionary.

[hear_thanatos]

[Yuri starts to feel vaguely nauseous about five minutes in, but he simply closes his eyes and tries to concentrate on other things. It's amazing how you can apply a one-track mind. Unfortunately, he's losing the war. He tries to pitch his voice a little louder to be overheard.] How far away is it?

Alternative title for episode 16 - "Dear viewers: You are all assholes. kthnx."

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin almost doesn't hear him through the commotion of the village.]

We're almost there! I live pretty close to the plaza, it's really convenient. [She frowns down at her bag.] Are you okay in there?

Agnes probably overruled the motion. :<

[hear_thanatos]

[He might be looking a liiiiittle like your costume hair, Dragon Kid. Yuri's leaning wanly on the edge of the pocket, singing praises that he hadn't thought to have breakfast that morning. He doesn't really trust himself to open his mouth, at the moment.]
