035/001 - Ten years have passed / Since you walked out of my life

[And onto the plane comes a brown-haired girl with big glasses wearing a high school uniform. She's got a tote bag slung over one should and a massive fountain soda in the other.]

Don't be stupid, it's right here. I just want to take a--

[She stops. Her grip on the tote bag tightens while, simultaneously, the soda drops from her hand. A quick skip backwards is all that keeps it from splattering over her shoes and white socks.]

Wh... Kanami? Alice? [She turns around--and takes a startled step backwards.] Wh-Where are you?! What's going on-- [She slips in spilled soda and falls on her butt in the mess, the tote back sliding off her shoulder and scattering school books, shonen manga, a wallet, and bits of paper that look like random notes in a pile over the plane.]



[[Misaki experiment start! It should be noted that she's from before the Gates ever showed up.]]

He's sort of weird. Nice I guess, but... Why?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, I guess I just wanted to see. We live together, so we're very close, you know?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Ffff Diva you bitch ;~; Blushing now] Live together? Really? You... must be. Close. I mean.

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, very close! We're very alike, you see.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[...weirded out severely by this stranger who is telling her personal things.] Well that's... good.

[madamemoiselle]

{Don't worry Misaki, Diva would do that anyways even if she weren't a terrible bitch} Ah? Is it?

{Thoughtfully} How rude of me, though. My name is Diva, by the way. {Curtsies} It's a pleasure.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[But she is. She really, really is. >| ] I... mean, isn't it?

Oh, um. K-- Well, I suppose to a fo-- to you it would make more sense if... Sorry. Misaki Kirihara. [And bow]

[madamemoiselle]

Well, the way you said it, it was like it was an odd thing~

{Laughs} What were you trying to say with that, Misaki?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[WELL LIVING TOGETHER. REALLY. And she blushes a little. And again with the no-honorific but really, what more can she expect...]

Just that, in Japan, surname comes before given name, so...

[madamemoiselle]

Ah, that's right, isn't it? I've never been to Japan, but I'm learning some things since there are a lot of Japanese people here. It would be...

...Is it "-chan" for you? So then Misaki-chan?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I suppose so, yes. And... Diva-san. [Hesitant little smile.]

[madamemoiselle]

{With a cheerful smile} I'd like to visit Japan someday, though. it seems nice, and it's obviously nice enough for my sister. Do you like it there?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah, it's nice. Tokyo's the greatest city in the world. Well, I think so. Your sister lives in Japan?

[madamemoiselle]

Then I'll definitely have to visit! After seeing Paris and Rome...It's quite a bit of competition. {Nods} Saya lives in....Okinawa, I think it is? She just moved back there after traveling for a while.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

That's a long way from Tokyo. My dad said we might go there some time if he can get time off of work, but I'd rather go to Hakone. It's not far away, but it's the best hot spring in the country.

[madamemoiselle]

Hot spring? What is that?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

You don't know? Really? Well. I mean. They're... [Scratches the back of her neck.] They're hot springs. It's like... You go there on vacation, and relax in the water, and they serve special food there and stuff.

[madamemoiselle]

Ohhh, really? It sounds nice, but I couldn't go to a place like that. I'm still learning how to swim, you see.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Waves a dismissive hand] You don't have to be able to swim. I mean, sure, some of the pools can get sort of deep, but there are plenty of shallow ones, too.

[madamemoiselle]

So then it's fun?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Especially if you have friends to go with you.

[madamemoiselle]

That would be nice then, I think. I don't think I'd have anyone that would like to go to that kind of thing with me, though.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Really? Not even your sister?

[madamemoiselle]

...My sister and I...aren't on the best of terms.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm sorry.
