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 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.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

You'll... probably get home eventually. That's my understanding of it. But we have no control over when that happens, so until then you just have to... do your best here.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

No choice at all. [Well that sounds depressingly familiar] I'll do my best.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

It might sound weird of me to say this, but... since we can't do much about it, that means we can just focus on taking it easy and enjoying things here.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Can you? Enjoy things here I mean?

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

Sure, the people here aren't so bad. You can make friends and do things with them. Not to mention... as a whole, this place is pretty accommodating for a prison.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I suppose. [bow] Thank you for your help.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

It's no big deal. A lot of people helped me when I first got here too. That's just how this place works. If you want to repay me, do it by helping out someone else when they first show up here.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I shall. I hope to find my friends then.

[ahogevamp.livejournal.com]

With this place, you never know. I hope for your sake that happens too.
