[ OOM]

She hears it, the strange song floating on the autumn breeze. "Mmf.." she turns over and tries to stay asleep. But it is persistent.

- Come... -

"Ugh..." Hotaru shifts over in bed again. She takes the pillow and puts it over her ears. But, in her mind it's still singing. Frustrated, Hotaru pulls her blankets up over her head.

Now that ain't a question he could answer and he ain't much of a deep thinker. At least not so's anyone would ever realize it about him if they thought that far. He remembers that night sittin' on the beach with Kohza and her all bein' poetic and shit about the stars and bein' small and tiny.

He told her he was the wrong kinda guy for that shit.

"I got no frickin' idea. How come you're here?"

All casual, he splays out on a chair next to the skinny little chick. Maybe she got a answer and ain't sayin'.

Hotaru starts up. And stares.

It seems like a good idea not to seem startled, though, so she hurriedly reaches for her cup and takes a sip as if her starting up was totally on purpose.

"Um." She places the teacup down.

[damn_sunflowers]

"Um? Shit, girl, even I could say more'n that."

He figures you ask a question, you ain't got no right to bitch and moan if someone answers. Even if they answer with their own damn question.

"You got a name, sister? Mine's Mugen. Just plain Mugen." Yeah, he looks her up and down, but it ain't personal or nothin'. Shit, she's just a little kid. Littler'n Fuu, even.

"I... I don't know what I'm doing here," she blinks at him.

And she slides her cup over to him. "Have some tea." It's an offer that's a little more 'order' than 'offer.'

"Felt like stopping by, maybe?" There was a man of a nice nature, early thirties who commented from where he was sitting nearby.

He then tilted his head with concern, "You ok?"

[forbiddensailor]

"I am," she uncovers her ears, turns to find the man talking to her. She looks at him blankly for a moment, and suddenly smiles.

"I was just... not trying to be here, exactly."

She rubs an eye.

[explorertruman]

He smiled back some, "Oh? Just happened to stumble in? I know the door can be like that at times."

[forbiddensailor]

A big yawn, "... Sort of."

Hotaru looks thoughtful, and adds, with a touch of curiousity, "Tell me, do you hear singing at all? Now?"
