INTRO + TEXT

WHO: Suzume, Potential Rescuers, *YOU*,
WHERE: A Labyrinth resembling a town in Japan; the opening is in Midtown
WHEN: Jan 18/19 (rather late at night),
WHAT: Suzume's arrival! Oh, No,
WARNINGS: None at this time; if anything comes up, appropriate warnins will be added, but they shouldn't

PURPLE RAIN

"Hoshi, the sky is your color."

There is no one, it seems, for the little girl wandering the streets to talk to. Not so long ago, a gate opened to the Spirit realm from in the Midtown area. Going through at first seems to result in finding a normal, albeit eeriely quiet stretch of a Japanese town. It's an old one- a number of buildings are yet made of wood, and there's an air of tradition beneath the odd, violet and red-lined sky.

But there is no one there. The streets seem to bend and turn to impossible locations. Things are not quite as they ought.

Its the Spirit realm after all.

Suzume- a small girl of almost 6- has noticed and also not noticed this. She was in Cairo, not long ago. They were waiting for people from the 'Speedwagon Foundation', 'JiJi' had said, and they would bring her back home to 'Haha', and him as well. While JiJi had explained that, Hoshi had simply stared off in quiet. Mister Donut had frowned, a strange frown that made it seem more like he'd bitten a lemon but didn't want to admit he didn't like it.

And then...

She got dizzy? Or maybe...

(Hoshi had shouted- he always said the same word, but it would mean something else every time, and this time, it meant he was scared)

"...It looks like home, but the sky is your color," Suzume murmurs quietly, tugging at the straps of her bag. For anyone who comes into the labyrinth, there is no one there. No one at all. Suzume speaks to thin air, asking it- "....Hoshi, are you tired?"

...

"Okay Hoshi. I can walk, it's okay."

...

There is a little girl wandering the labyrinth. She holds her backpack straps determinedly, her handkerchief hairclip bouncing a bit with each step.

And she is alone.

NETWORK: POST FROM 'SUZUME'

hello

i found a phone

mummy said if you find things you give them back

but theres no name


[She's not yet realized it's Her phone now. At least she has an invisible spell check of sorts. Perhaps even a not so invisible one if her rescuer is kind.]

:[

[Oh, someone showed her the emoji.]

[Ah, and this is a routine that he knows well, given as many times as he's transferred schools before moving to Kaisou. He smiles a bit and claps politely.]

It's nice to meet you, too.

[And with that, he stands up, offering his hand to Suzume.]

This way, then.

[Hoshi, huh... well, looking at her, she does look like she's about the right age for an imaginary friend.]

Is that so? That's too bad... But alright, let's get out of here.

[He'll start leading her back the way he came in.

... They'll be walking for a bit, though.]

[Poor Hoshi.

He looks around at the places Suzume points out but otherwise keeps quiet, then comes to a stop as soon as she does.]


So this is similar to an area you've been to, huh?

[It doesn't look familiar to him at all, but...]

Ah, your first errand, huh...

[He... vaguely remembers his!]

I wonder if it looks like this because you're here...

[Aw, crap.]

No, no, no, it's not your fault-- it's the place. Maybe... maybe it doesn't really have complete information or can't use that information right, but if anything, it has a will of its own. Probably. If I'd been in here first, it'd probably have been someplace I remembered... I think.

Either way: it's not your fault.

I think there was a pretty big tree in one of the places I lived before...

[Yeah he's got no clue, rip.]

Not really, no... At least, nothing that isn't a couple blocks away.

... No, my parents and I just live in an apartment, so...

[Gotta have a backyard to have backyard trees!]

[personal profile] kokaiwanai 2022-02-04 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
We don't really have a backyard at all, so the only plants we have around are the potted ones Mom keeps inside. [A beat.] Plus whatever's between the sidewalk and the road outside. But those aren't really 'ours'...

[Bless you, Hoshi.]

Ah, there's the exit. Shall we?
