39th Wheel of Fate [Action]

[awakenedchaos]

[Those passing through the plaza today might find themselves noticing something rather... odd placed near the fountain.

Apparently, someone - presumably the Malnosso - has decided to place a treasure chest next to the fountain. And not just any: this particular treasure chest seems to be large enough that it could hold quite the large amount of

[The treasure chest is a peculiarity in the village, and one that Albert would like to ignore. But he is drawn by the odd story he seems to be playing out to wander over and look at the chest. Especially when Kogoro, who is accompanying him, seems to be sniffing and pawing at it.]

What is it, Shiro? [He inquires, feeling foolish for talking to the dog--but not overly foolish, which he has to blame the story for.] Is there something inside?

[And thus, with the encouragement of "his" dog, the old man opens up the chest and peers inside.]

...t-that picture, pfft.

[awakenedchaos]

[Saying that there's someone inside might be more accurate... though the sleeping girl inside is carrying a black sling bag with her, so it's not completely off, either.

But that said, she's not waking up just yet - unless Albert outright tries to wake her, it's likely that it'll take her a few more moments to rouse from her sleep. It won't be that long, given that she's a light sleeper, but still.]

[Albert tenses when he sees what--who--is inside of the treasure chest, and he frowns at the girl inside before looking around. Was this because of the experiment? Or had she simply been gone and this was how the scientists decided to send her back?

Even as he's contemplating what to do, Kogoro chooses this moment to put his front paws up on lip of the treasure chest and sniff curious at Nu. Albert tries to shoo the little dog away so he can close the chest.]

[awakenedchaos]

[If Albert is planning to close the chest again, he might want to do so quickly. With ν-13 being a light sleeper anyway and Korogo sniffing at her like that, it's likely that she's not going to stay asleep for much longer.

...In fact, she's already starting to stir a little. It probably won't be much longer until she's awake, it seems.]

[Link is always going around opening treasure chests. Ganondorf decides it's about time he got to do the same. When he spots it, he kicks it with his foot, causing the chest to open up (somehow) to let him peer inside.]

A girl?

[awakenedchaos]

[A girl. A silver-haired girl that he may or may not remember as someone he encountered at the grocery store more than a month ago.

The fact that he opened the chest by kicking it, though, means that she won't remain asleep for quite as long as usual - in fact, she's already waking up, though slowly. Having someone kick is a little startling, to say the least.]

Loading... Loading... Loading...

[gerudoking]

[He recognizes her. Someone like that certainly stands out. Being from the kind of world he is, the 'loading' just makes no sense to him.]

Loading what?

[awakenedchaos]

[He won't get a vocal response to that question, but ν-13's words and actions might give it away.]

...Complete. [As she says that, she sits up, finally looking up at Ganondorf.]

Who...? [She recognizes this one - didn't she meet him when she was at the grocery store, looking for something to bring along on her search? - but she doesn't have a name to match to his appearance. ...Was he the one who kicked the chest? Hmm.]

[doubleppk]

[POUNCES IT. Like a cat on a feather toy. Now how to open it... Oh well, Fujiko cares naught for danger. She lives for it; second only to treasure. Oh yes. Treasure. She loves treasure. TOTALLY OPENING IT UP NOW *_* All the shinies that will belong to her...]

[awakenedchaos]

[Except... there's no shinies inside this particular treasure chest, it seems. Unless you count that blade ν-13 uses to keep her hair in a braid, anyway. No, all Fujiko will find in that chest is a sleeping silver-haired girl, clinging to a black sling bag. Not a very spectacular "treasure," is it?]

[doubleppk]

Ah... Miss? MISS! Are you okay?! [Tries to help her get out. One of her hands is still on a Walther PPK however. Never let it be said that Fujiko isn't paranoid.]

[awakenedchaos]

[Well, that shouting is definitely enough to get her to slowly wake up.]

Loading... Loading... Loading... [Fujiko will probably have to wait a little bit longer for Nu to fully wake up, though. The girl loads... rather slowly, it would seem. She certainy looks okay, though. Well, sans for the carmine-colored stain on her right glove, but there's definitely no visible injuries and her breathing is normal.]
