From building two you're going to want to go down the road until you hit a fork, then go down the fork with the houses on it. They should be fifteen through nineteen. After that you'll hit another fork at House 27, go in the direction of the bridge that time. Keep going straight and you should hit the square; the grocery's on the far side from the entrance to it.

[ pause. pauuuuuuse. give him a minute, Atsuki, as he heads back up the path to check-

-that he's been staying in another number all along. Good job, Allen. ]

And from building 6?

1/2

[antisilent]

You walk straight down the path until you reach House 27, then the rest of the directions apply. It's a longer walk though.

[antisilent]

I like in Building Six though, I could show you personally if you want.

[outwalks]

I don't mind the walk.

[ and if this were voice, right now there'd be a stomach growl fit to shake dust from the metaphorical speakers. ]

Are you sure? I wouldn't want you to go out of your way.

[antisilent]

[And because on his end it is voice, you might hear a light shuffling as he stands from where he was-] I could use a walk anyway, but I wouldn't want to intrude.

[outwalks]

Not at all. You're saving me from ten trips around the forest.

[antisilent]

Alright. If you're still on the path I should meet you pretty quick. [Complete with sounds of the guy going down stairs.]

[...Also I hate bugging people with this but with this kid it's necessary for when they interact in person, could you read over/reply to this permission's post, please?]

[outwalks]

I should be in sight of the building.

[ Filled it out! And, in fact, Allen is walking back towards building 6 to make it easier to find him. ]

[antisilent]

[And thus walks out Genericface Saijo from the building. With a light wave in the direction of the guy he sees walking back (who seems to resemble that little picture-thing from the journal) he keeps on his advance there]

[ Allen's is a hard face to mistake, at least: blue eyes, red scar, white hair. His Shinen should show as mostly grey - the literal kind of emptiness, if that's at all likely. He's hungry! He hasn't had a meal in a day. But there's a sharp twist of green underneath all that silly appetite: dismay, regret, a deadening certainty that the Innocence hasn't worked after all, and will fail again if he needs it here.

But there's no trace of those thoughts in his expression as Allen hurries towards the incoming footsteps. He waves right back. ]

Atsuki?

[antisilent]

[Hm. Well a mass of gray Shinen is usually cause for concern (he tends to see it in would-be-suicidies a lot) but seeing it in this setting, the feel of them is different. It's more light-hearted somehow, perhaps more literal. The green dancing around in that mass is intriguing, but he can't dive for that using sigma without risking Allen's mind. As such, he just makes himself content to watch the Shinen for now.]

That's right.

[outwalks]

[ The colors seem stable, at least! No new worries surfacing, or change of mood in seeing someone to guide him to the grocery. Just a priority looming steadily larger: fooooood. Allen lets his arm drop, shoving a hand into a pocket. ]

I really do appreciate this. Shall we go?

[antisilent]

[Good times. He smiles back in turn and takes up leading role for getting them to the food]

Let's. It's no problem though.

[outwalks]

That's good.

[ Annnd walking! ]

Still, I'm sure you don't usually spend your time showing New Feathers around.

[antisilent]

Oh no, I've made something of a hobby out of it. [Naturally, with a completely straight face. If he's joking it's hard to call]
