⊙ hey, have you seen the blind girl in disguise—

[clairvoyancies]

Who: Tsubaki Kasugano & you
Location: The plaza and that general area.
Time: Mid-day?
Style: Whatever you like.
Status: Open!


I-I’m sorry—

[Tsubaki is wet, and visibly in a huff as she darts away from the stand. Something in between anger and embarrassment displays plain on her face; and it perhaps has to do with the local she can hear, laughing behind her as she goes, clinging to the towel that she’d been given like it was some lifeline. ‘It’ll work better than that shirt you just grabbed,’ he said—how was she supposed to know? She can barely see where she’s going, after all, which…okay, probably makes this whole running away thing a bad idea, but still.

—Heh!

Incidentally, he’d told her it was okay to keep the shirt as well, which was strange. But she didn’t question it at the time. She simply wanted to get to a quiet place to think for now, about exactly where she is and how she got there. Because this isn’t the Sacred Eye temple, is it?

That detective…Akise Aru. Somehow he’d set her free. There are no longer any mysteries tying her to the cult, forcing her to stay; and she was glad that she could repay him, at least in part. But at the same time, she didn’t think she’d be leaving so soon…

So where exactly did she wind up?

She doesn’t know, but she’ll find out. Even if it means maybe asking one of these many voices she’s hearing right now, the blur of faces around her…

Who are they all?]


(( OOC: so basically tl;dr, Tsubaki's kind of embarassed herself in front of a local and is looking for a quiet place to think. she has really poor eyesight so feel free to have your character run into her at any point during all this! ))

[She takes a pause from her writing to look up at him when he speaks, the compliment easily throwing her for a loop. She has been helping as much as she can, despite the confusion, admittedly, but...that is hardly something deserving of praise.

She's just doing the same thing she did back in Sakurami...

But the encouragement is nice.

When she taps his SFC, Tsubaki nods.]

Oh, yes--that. Someone showed me earlier...

It's a phone of sorts, if I understand correctly. [She hasn't really had a chance to mess with it yet.]

[fake]

That's right. You can utilize video conversations with it as well. This— [ he points at the higher button on the right of the device ] —will allow for you to access a contacts list. Everyone in the city with one of these devices should be listed. And this— [ the lower button ] —is a map. It would be unfortunate if you were to become lost with your vision as it is, Tsubaki-san. [ and with yuno around as well, although he doesn't mention that bit. ]

I'm going to share something with you. [ he fixates his attention to his sfc as though to actually use it rather than demonstrate with it, tapping at the buttons rapidly. he only stops when a ding sound surfaces from tsubaki's direction. ]

[ yeah i stole your format what of it. ]

[clairvoyancies]

[Wow thief.

But okay, she is listening. And when she hears the ding, she pulls out her own SFC and looks at what is on the screen. She has to pull it a little closer to her face, but once she reads it, she clicks the appropriate button to accept and waits.]

This is...

[She trails off, skimming the information. It seems to be a guide to...

To living. Here.]

This is a lot to remember. But thank you.

[fake]

[ he lifts up his sfc once more between a thumb and curled index finger in demonstration— ]

You can contact me at any time with this.

[ —and then he returns the device to his coat pocket, standing up shortly thereafter. he offers a hand to tsubaki with a smile, fully intent on helping her out of her seat. ]

[clairvoyancies]

I will keep it in mind.

[...staring at his hand for a moment, as she puts her own SFC away as well. And then upon finally realizing what he's waiting for, she takes it, timidly as if she's never done it before.

...The last time she did something like this, she was kind of kidnapped from her temple. By him. It was a good thing in the end, but still...

She's a bit wary.]

[fake]

[ he realizes she's still a bit wary overall, but he's glad she's deciding to put her trust in him— albeit in an expectedly timid fashion, but that's just her personality, isn't it? his eyes narrow as his smile becomes more geniune upon her acceping his hand, and he subsequently helps her up.

they decidedly part ways shortly after, but he's quite certain that they'll be speaking again soon enough. ]
