[Rena looks like she's ready for a picnic--she has her white dress on, complete with beret, and has brought a picnic basket. This is more than that, though: this is an adventure! Or at least a long walk.

Picking a direction, Rena begins walking; she wants to know how big the astral plane is, and what better way than to, well, walk until she finds the end or gets tired?

She's brought more than enough food, and she's willing to share and happy to have company on her walk!]

I wouldn't want to live in a big city. I'm going to stay in Hinamizawa forever!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

You really like living in Hinamizawa, don't you?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Mmmhmm! I lived somewhere else for a while... [frown; she's silent for a while] But then I came back.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Somewhere else hmm? Where else did you live?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Ah... The Ibaraki prefecture... [she's gotten quieter, less cheerful]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun notices the change and frowns slightly] Is something wrong Rena?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

[her eyes are distant] I should have never left Hinamizawa, I shouldn't have...

[And she brightens, offering a smile.] But now that I'm living there again it's okay!

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Smiles back. He recognizes that look in her eyes. He has things he would rather not remember too.] That's good. I'm sure you're friends are glad you're back too.

[nod] Hinamizawa is so nice. Everyone looks out for each other.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you have people like that around you. It seems easier to get through things when you aren't alone.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

That's what friends are for!

...The astral plane really is big, isn't it?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It's apparently very big. Hard to tell how far we've walked since there aren't any landmarks but I can tell we've walked pretty far. Are you okay Rena? You aren't tired or anything are you?

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

I'm okay! I guess this is going to take longer than I thought...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

We have time though, since time doesn't seem to pass in our worlds while we're here.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

That's good! Otherwise I might miss school~!

How does the astral plane work, I wonder, I wonder?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone really knows that. Well the twins probably do, but I don't think they'll tell us.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

The twins? Oh, from that shop? Why wouldn't they tell if they knew?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Because if we knew how the Astral Plane worked then they wouldn't be able to control us.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Well, there must be an end! [walks on all determinedly!]

[...]

I think it's time to take a break. [flop]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Smiles and sits down next to her] Lets have something to eat then.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Okay! [Pulls out a picnic blanket, spreads it, and then pulls out bento! Yay!] Good thing I packed food! [Offers one to Shun.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Shun never says no to food! He takes it smiling.]Thank you Rena.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

((Sorry, my LJ notifications ended up in my spam folder and I only just noticed. ^^; ))

You're welcome! [She starts eating; nothing like a potentially endless trip to make someone hungry!] Maybe there really isn't an end...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Or maybe this place is just really big.

[cutecleaver.livejournal.com]

Is it bigger than Japan, I wonder, I wonder?
