[Presea has been wandering around, trying to figure out why the lights have all gone out (and having little luck). So she's a little surprised to see Hikaru emerge from the pantry, but she doesn't ask, because her attention is then preoccupied by the weird statue.]

Is that yours, Hikaru?

Oh, Hi Presea!

[Hikaru waves a hand sheepishly, also wondering why everything had grown so dark. If it hadn't been for her magic, she never would have been able to write such a lengthy entry]

No, he's not mine. He just kind of appeared.

What's with the lights? Did someone forget to pay the electric bill?

] She looked away from the gnome while she was speaking...]

[Presea jumps back in surprise.] They move?! [That she can see even in the dimness of the room.]

[She stares closer, not quite daring to touch it, but it doesn't seem to be moving now.]

What!? [Looks back at the garden gnome. Strangely, it isn't exactly where it used to be.]

That's impossible, isn't it?

[Kneels beside it, to get a closer look]

...Maybe it's not a statue at .. all?

[After a while there's a beam of light coming from around the corner, scanning the shadows around the kitchen area close to the pantry: Umi wields a flashlight as she enters, looking around warily, still in her nightgown and with her magic glove preemptively on.]

Hello? Guys, anybody up? It's a MASSIVE blackout! This can't mean anything good! Are you---?

[The watergirl pauses as she catches a blaze of red hair with her flashlight, eyes going wide in surprise.] ...Aw, Hikaru. I didn't think you'd be here! Are you alright?

[She's too focused on her best friend to notice they have the weirdest sort of company.]

[ Now that it had been discovered that looking away from the gnome, encouraged it to move, even the introduction of a beam of light couldn't take her attention away completely]

Umi? Is that you?

[Perhaps the darkness was getting to her and this all was a practical joke. There had been no reason to whisper. She nodded, briefly forgetting to look at the gnome.] I'm just fine! What about you? Awesome, you found a flashlight!

[She gives the flashlight a little wave.] Always keep one of these handy, in Weirdo City. This place really LOVES its creepy blackouts!

[Confidently, Umi walks over to Hikaru while making sure she doesn't blind her best friend with the flashlight's beam.]

What are you doing here in the dark? Came out to see what was up t---?

Augh!!

[Walking forth just keeping her attention on Hikaru and NOT on the floor seems like a bad idea the moment Umi trips on something.... unexpected... right there on the kitchen floor.

The Knight of Water rubs her ankle and glares at the gnome in pure aggravation.]

Wh-? ...What the heck is that tacky thing and what's it doing in our kitchen!?

I think that's an innovative way of keeping it from recording accidentally, Hikaru-san.

[Oh dear, someone noticed. There's nothing unusual about not wishing to accidentally record something so...]

Thank you Fuu! You're welcome to borrow some of my tape if you wish to do the same!

Thank you, Hikaru-san. I might just take you up on that offer.
