Wako's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You are standing in the middle of the main street of a sizable downtown area.

The early morning sun hangs low in the east. The air is salty and fresh – and oh man is your nose sharp! You can smell the people who came in here with you from yards away! Other stuff smells that strong, too! There is a spring breeze in the air. How do you know it’s spring? You just do. It’s the vibe here. Tropical trees and flowers grow in window boxes and small gardens. There are fairly standard shops (a movie theater! A book store! Small clothing boutiques! And so on), with trucks, cars, and bicycles parked at the curbs. There are no people or animals in sight, but there’s birdsong hanging in the air. It seems to be coming in every direction.

Oh. And you’re dressed like stripper clowns.

This is some cosplay.

At least you didn't get screws.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

I'm...pretty sure nothing could be worse than your outfit.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[iwantyour]

It could have a screwdriver on the crotch area.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

...okay, I guess it could be worse.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[iwantyour]

I'm creative like that.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

Someday you'll have to teach me!

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[iwantyour]

Stay with me, friend. Shall we get started?

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

It's better than running around by yourself, I guess.

[although nipple screws, i...dek.]

But sure, why not.

[ Are you looking around, or are you still staring at Souya's nipple screws? ]

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[iwantyour]

[I'm looking around and my nipple screws are awesome]

[ On the side of the street to your left are a bookstore, movie theater, watch and jewelry repair shop, a cafe, and a handful of clothing stores. On the side of the street to your right are a grocery store, bakery, a wine shop, an artists' supply shop, and a few antiques stores.

A little further down the road, at an intersection, are three busses pointing north, east, and west. Focus, and you’ll be able to hear their engines running, though they’re all empty. ]

[peeks into each store in turn, looking for people]

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

[ Gosh, shut up!!! I'm not looking at them!

Instead I'm gonna look through the window of a clothing boutique, there!]

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[dramatispersonae]

[ It sells normal clothes. None of them look anything like yours.

There's a distinct lack of fringe and nipple screws. ]

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

[that is so unfair...

I'm gonna run over to Souya before I get left behind.]

I think our coats match.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

[looks at Mark's coat, and then his...and then Mark's coat, and then his...]

Mine's better.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[identityformations]

Marginally. Do you have a name?

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

Mine's Hikaru, but I prefer Dragonfly.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[identityformations]

Dragonfly, right. I don't have one yet.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

. . . wait, did you just get here?

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[identityformations]

Yes. I've been told about what this is. I'll try not to fuck anything up.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[pitching]

[sighs]

Be careful. Things here could possibly mess you up, too.

Re: DOWNTOWN (FIRST STAGE)

[identityformations]

From what little I remember of where I come from, I'm probably used to that. Do you have any idea who this is?
