1st Fire Started

[action - 913 Bilko Boulevard ]

[If you happen to be there, Mokou is completely furious. Because she normally wouldn't want to drag kids into her violent escapades...and she's currently threatening the drone son with death, lest he provide her with accurate information pertaining to her whereabouts. ]

Hey! You little shit better start talking right

[Approaching that bush because one person here does not approve of SNEAKING.]

What are you doing, child?

[paintme_crimson]

[Sloooooooow turn around.]

I'm not a child. And I'm scoping out this shithole.

[emperorsangel]

Either way, if you wish to scout, stand up straight. Skulking around is not a way any proper person would act.

[paintme_crimson]

I do I seem like a proper person, bucko?

[OK, the house has generally been pretty quiet lately so Nall is jarred by the threatening sounds he's hearing. He flies around the house until he finds, drumroll please, a new roomie!]

Whoa, whoa, calm down and back away from the kid!

[paintme_crimson]

[She abruptly stops talking and looks at the...floating kitty thingy. While she still has the NPC drone son held up against a wall by the collar of his shirt, she's not pressing that knife on his throat.]

Oh. Youkai?

[And she briefly glares back at the whimpering kid, but does nothing.]

[catslooklikeme]

You-what?

Look, I'm sure you've got a lot of questions right now, but that kid is a drone, he can't tell you what you need. Just let him go and talk to me.

(bluh bluh must memorize icon keywords better)

[paintme_crimson]

Youkai. Folk creature. You must be from the Outside World.

[She just gives one last glare at poor, poor NPC Drone Son, and drops him. He hits the floor hard and goes scampering off, still whimpering a bit.]

Alright. Where the fuck am I, and why am I speaking English?

[myougi]

Uh... you're in our bushes. Any reason you're in the bushes, exactly?

[paintme_crimson]

[Well, this guy doesn't seem as bad as the one from earlier.]

I'm scouting out this hell-hole.

[myougi]

There's nothing too exciting about these bushes in particular, sorry to say.

[paintme_crimson]

I'm not scouting your bushes. I'm scouting while in your bushes. [Saying so as if it's the most natural thing in the world to be in some guy's bushes.

[Well... from one pyrokinetic user to another, Kyo is still going to stare at her oddly and just sits at the porch until she is satisfied with searching for whatever she is looking for at the front yard.]

Not quite sure what you're looking for but I doubt that's the first place to find 'em.

[action]

[paintme_crimson]

[She doesn't bother looking back at him.]

I'm not looking for anything. I'm observing.

[action]

[fist_of_flames]

Hell of a place to start watching something too. Well whatever, do whatever you want until you're happy. Anyway, good to see that you've finally snapped out of that drone business... I was wondering if you ended up like Kaguya or something given how long you both were out of it.

[Aaaaand guess who remembers a previous visit from another you, Mokou! Although he's just kinda meh about the whole thing.]

[action] 1/2

[paintme_crimson]

Foliage is the best place to observe things from.

And...wait, what?

[action - around town]

[jusenkyoed]

[What the hell. What's with people and hanging out behind bushes all of a sudden?]

You drop somethin'?

[paintme_crimson]

No. I'm observing my surroundings. [And she says that in all seriousness.]

[jusenkyoed]

Oh really? Lemme help.

You're surrounded by bushes and dumb lookin' houses. There. [As opposed to him, who is currently a bastion of sarcasm.]

[paintme_crimson]

I mean this fucking hellhole, dumbass. This town. I don't just want to walk up to one of those zombie drone things and ask "Hey there! How do you all function in daily life and how do I go about getting my powers back?"
