[Ryotarou appears on the Plane, hand poised behind his back. His expression is nervous, but hopeful. He takes a breath... and pulls out the Zeronos belt. He grins widely at this final sign that things are back to normal.]

It looks like it's all over. Completely, now.

(ooc: So... yes. Crow's getting swamped in schoolwork and everything, so we decided to end the experiment early. Everything is back to the way it should be, with slight mergers between the two involved and, of course, the absorbed mannerisms. Hope you guys had fun. ♥)

[GUESS WHO ELSE IS BACK TO NORMAL.] Good for you and Jack.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou nods. He feels kind of bad, because he's pretty sure Jack liked not being immortal for a while, but...] Mhmm. Now if an Imagin attacks, I'll be able to help.

[contract_star]

[Smiles.] Good. They need you.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Feeling yourself again?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Eh... Not all the time, but I feel better having Deneb and the belt back at any rate.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Shouldn't I ask you that? I mean... do I feel normal to you?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Perfectly human. Couldn't be sure if it was really done this time.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[he smiles a bit] I'm just glad it's over, really.

[Have a Yuuto! A Yuuto with a bright smile (oh god what is that) and looking fatter than usual. No, really. His hoodie is zipped up, and his arms have disappeared inside of it, like he's too cold.]

Welcome back.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[Ryotarou stares for a moment. Last he checked, it really never got that cold in September not to mention he was just in their reality and it definitely wasn't, so he tilts his head a little and tries to figure this out.]

Thank you...?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Come here for a second. [The smile's only bigger now.] I've got something I want to show you.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Something you want to show me...? [He's putting the belt away, at least, but he's not sure he wants to approach.]

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Yuuto is about to say something else, but then he makes a face. His arms move in his hoodie a little bit, and then suddenly, a black fuzzy kitten head pops out underneath his chin and looks out. The kitten's ears are too big for his head, making him look kind of like a bat. His eyes are big and green and far too intelligent for his own good, and there's a smudge of white across his nose and leaking into his fur between his eyes. He makes a kitten-y whiny face and squirms a bit.]

Ack!

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[... stares some more.] A kitten?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[Damn, there goes his cover. He unzips his hoodie and holds the kitten out. Three paws and the tip of his tail also carry white markings, making it look accidental -- sort of like Ryotarou's luck.]

He's yours.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... What?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Take him for a few days. If you decide you can't take care of him, I'll give him away... or try. Ryuutaros won't like that.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

... Eh?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

[The kitten is squirming a lot now and Yuuto is getting irritated, but at least it doesn't have claws yet.]

What part of "I'm giving you a kitten" don't you understand?

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He just seems genuinely confused here, giving the squirming kitten a bit of a concerned look, too.] Why?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Because... [He holds the kitten close to him again so that it won't squirm away, and pets between huge batty ears.] It doesn't matter why! He's yours now, and you'll be better off with him.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

[He just watches for a long moment.] ... Does he have a name?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's ... Regulus.

[saythistostart.livejournal.com]

Regulus?

[hasarrived.livejournal.com]

It's the brightest star in the constellation Leo, and it's really close to the Big Dipper. I thought it was fitting.
