1.

[You know that bed that had a drone kid in it last night? It now has a REAL girl in it, all cuddled up in the blankets. And now that girl is waking up, blinking, and scrambling out of bed. Aaaaa--Ok calm Koharu. Calm.]

W-Where...[looks around for her uniform, anything. After about 5 minutes of searching, she gives up and scavenges some clothes from the closet. She even takes the time to write an apology note to lay on the desk for whoever lives in this room. She knows it's not hers, right? RIGHT?]

[So residents of 5720 Cunninghame Lane, you are now looking at your new daughter/sibling creeping down the stairs trying not to wake anyone up]

2.



[She's bound and determined to find someone, anyone she knows, but she doesn't know where she's going. So it only takes a few minutes before she's lost, squinting up at road signs and looking back and forth]

[Oh! Look it's a school, let's walk that way. That seems safe enough. She hopes.]

[Koyomi notices her frantically trying to figure something out from that sign, though he's not quite sure just what... So as she starts off in one direction, he finally decides to call out to her and stop her.]

Uh... are you looking for somewhere in particular?

[Because if it's school, that's not the right way Koharu :(]

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[DIRECTIONS, yes she needs those. Koharu turns to smile and ask when she notices. Oh. Oh you're a guy. Cue automatic guy reaction]

U-Um...[looks down] I was just...trying to find...my friends. Ah, I think they're at school, I'll be out of your way, I'm sorry. [tucks her hands behind her back]

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

[Well, uh, that was kind of weird. He just peers at her a bit strangely, curious why she's so nervous all of a sudden.]

I'm actually on my way to school too. But it's that way. [he points down another street, running in another direction.] I take it you're new here?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Y-yes. [She glances at that street and frowns] I guess I got turned around again...Thank you sir.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Er, it's kind of weird being called "sir"... there's no need to be that polite and formal.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

U-Um...whatever you like s--[cuts herself off and gives a little bow because he has been nice enough to give directions and not tried to own her or anything. Koharu has weird standards for nice] Thank you then.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You're welcome... but er, are you okay? I know this place is weird when you're new and getting adjusted...

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I'm fine...but thank you. [pause] I'm sorry if I'm acting strange, I'm just not used to men being nice to me.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Oh, that explains it! If that's the case, it's only natural that you'd...

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

...w-wait a second, what do you mean? How do men usually treat you?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[longest pause. Do we tell strange man that men usually own her and take advantage of that privilege? Or...]

It's nothing s-- I'm sorry, I didn't...catch your name.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Koyomi Araragi. What about you?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Koharu Izaki. Um...the school is this way? [points along the road, hopefully in the right direction]

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

[he just nods.]

I'm heading there too. If we don't get going, we might be late.

...not that it really matters.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Late? But I'm not enrolled in this school...or does this place do that too?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Heh, like I said, it really doesn't matter. You just have to show up... and they'll act like you've pretty much always been there. It's kind of jarring at first, but everything about this place is.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

So strange...Do you get in trouble if you don't go?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard you get turned into a drone for a while if you ditch too much. Er, do you know what a drone is yet?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. Drone? Like bees?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

More like zombies.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[blink] Like zombies?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Basically you lose control or your body and it goes on autopilot, acting like this city wants it to. You'll just wake up some time later having no idea what happened in the meanwhile.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Really? But that's terrible!

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

That's why it's a punishment. But as long as you go to school and don't act out of line, you should be fine. That doesn't really seem like it'll be a problem for you.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I don't think it will be...but I'd like to go home. Is there no way to do that? I'm needed.
