[Soubi? Where was Soubi? He couldn't seem to find him anywhere, and the chord that connected them seemed to lead out of the room. He'd already tried the door. It wouldn't open. The only other way seemed to be the strange small door in the wall. It hadn't been there last night. He pulled the key off the table and tried it in the lock

*Hubb paused by the open door, strolling down the hallway in perfect health.*

"Ritsuka, how are you this morning? Would you like to have breakfast with me?"

[no_no_badtouch]

Ritsuka turned to see Hubb, but he didn't quite notice the buttons just yet. "I can't find Soubi." He didn't sound upset. Not yet at least.

He crossed the room, thinking of places that Soubi might be. Still, his eyes moved to the thread that connected the two. It lead to the little door and out the other side. Soubi must be out there, but how was he supposed to get out a locked door?

"I'm sure he's around." The other Hubb hummed happily. "I can help you look if you want."

[no_no_badtouch]

"..." Something wasn't right. Hubb didn't ... humm. Then the boy noticed the buttons. "Why do you have buttons for eyes?" His voice shook a little.

"I'm here," Soubi affirmed Hubb's suspicions as he stepped out of the bathroom, one towel tied around his waist, another draped over his head as he dried his long blond hair.

Ritsuka turned around at the sound of Soubi's voice. Soubi! He'd found him. Still, his eyes glanced down to the thread. It wasn't heading to this Soubi. It was still heading out the door. Out to his Soubi.

He turned to look at the wet not-Soubi. He looked the same. Same build and body that Ritsuka knew so well. Same long hair that probably needed to be cut. But there were buttons. Blue buttons over where his eyes were supposed to be. No buttons. Like Alice. "You're not Soubi." His voice was tense.

Soubi draped the towel around his shoulders, smiling rather brightly as he leaned over to kiss Ritsuka's forehead.

"I'm Soubi. I'm just a little different from the one you're used to."

[no_no_badtouch]

The boy took a step back, away from the fake Soubi. "My Soubi was fine." His voice was getting more tense as he spoke, his head turning back to look at the thread. His Soubi. Where was he?

"Who are you ... really?" He could be the Queen, or the mirror!Soubi. But both seemed unlikely. The Queen wouldn't change herself like that and Mirror!Soubi didn't have buttons for eyes. So who was he?

[Haru sat near the stairs covered little streaks of paint while singing to himself. He seems way more approachable as he plays with a flower plucking the petals off in lazy fashion.]

"I'm singing in the rain~ What a wonderful feeling!"

I laughed SO HARD!

[no_no_badtouch]

[O.O Ritsuka just ... stared at the whore. Was he singing? Forget singing, was he picking FLOWERS?!?! That didn't seem right at all.

He just kept watching the other boy like he had the plague.]

It was that or snuggling one of the pandas. I went for sad

[skater_lynx]

[When he noticed Ritsuka he tossed the flower to the side and grinned at him.]

Ritsuka! Where have you been hiding? I've been wanting to talk to you for a while~

That is sad. ;.;

[no_no_badtouch]

[The boy wanted to look behind himself, but knew the boy was talking to him.]

What?
