1st Bullet ⊗ Voice

[pishirogane]

[The audio becomes live just in time for a single word to be heard]

Fascinating...

[A few more random clicks here and there before the actions cease. It's quiet save for the ambience coming from around the speaker. Their voice suddenly cuts through, whispering first.]

It certainly appears to be on... Greetings. Upon arrival to this place, I

[punk_emperor]

[He knows that voice. He knows it and oh god not Naoto, not here. They'll make her do awful, terrible things and oh hell no! No, no, no. Not Naoto.

In his panic, dread settled in his stomach, Kanji manages to drop the fansuwoth as he turns it on so there's a clatter and a spinning image of a dimly lit ceiling.]

N--

[punk_emperor]

It's... uh, the "rebel" house, I guess. A lot of the others are kinda like me...before. It ain't really me anymore, at least not all of me, but...

[He shrugs. He doesn't mind it too much.]

Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should wait 'til after he decides your job before askin'.

[pishirogane]

I see.

[Yes, that doesn't suit him completely.]

[A small nod. See, she didn't mean to just dismiss him... though, how long until her job is decided.]

[punk_emperor]

Your house fits you, though.

[Far better than he even realizes in fact.]

I hope things don't end up bad for you there.

[pishirogane]

We'll see, Kanji-kun...

[Nothing's been said yet.]

[punk_emperor]

Yeah, we will.

[And he doesn't have anything else he can think of to say but he...doesn't want the conversation to end. Naotoooo ♥]

[pishirogane]

[She isn't expecting to become an entertainer at the very least. Ah...]

... So, how long have you... been here? [Weak attempt at keeping the conversation going, but she's not comfortable being stuck here.]

[punk_emperor]

Uh, about two months-- Yeah, almost exactly. I've got a lot to keep me busy so I don't think about...

[Well, what this place is.]

[pishirogane]

Ah...

[Yes, two months isn't too bad. Still, if he's seventeen, another year passed for him somehow.] ... Would you say you know your way around fairly well?

[punk_emperor]

My district the best, then yours, and then... uh. Camellia. I haven't been around Hibiscus or Peony much, except for passing through 'em really. Or visiting someplace specific.

[pishirogane]

[Oh good]

Perhaps you could show me around... that is, unless you're not occupied at the moment.

[punk_emperor]

I'd love to! I'm probably not the best tour guide but I'll do my best! You want me to stop by or...?

[pishirogane]

Stop by if you don't mind. I haven't exactly had the chance to leave yet.

[punk_emperor]

[He nods at the fansuwoth and is off in a flash.]

I'll be right there!

[And he will be, though he keeps glancing at the building like he expects something to come out and jump him. Though when he catches sight of Naoto, his face lights up and he relaxes. It seems Naoto isn't what he was nervous about.

...well any more than he usually is around her.]

[pishirogane]

[Ah... he's gone pretty quickly]

[When he arrives, she's already outside, but not very far from the Hibu Household's entrance. To stay with the house's theme, Naoto's been allowed a fair attire, not appearing too feminine in a dark blue yukata for males. Perhaps the awkwardness just comes from having no pants and being stuck in geta. She feels... different without her hat shading her eyes.]

Greetings, Kanji-kun.

[punk_emperor]

[His yukata is dark as well--more of a lead gray--and has a pattern on it. Lightning and it's very likely that he did it himself. It manages not to look unmasculine at all, and is quite beautiful at the same time.]

Naoto-kun! It's good to see you.

[He trots up the rest of the way, his own geta clicking, and then flushes.]

And you look really nice.

[He thinks the men's yukata suits her perfectly and it makes his heart skip a beat.]
