051 - Make it a soulful shade of blue (with a ribbon at the hem)

[She appears in a sundress, broad-brimmed hat and sandals, her hair loose around her shoulders and her dog sitting next to her foot.]

I don't speak Italian. I've never been to Italy. I've never thought about going to Italy.

[She looks down at the dog. The dog looks up at her, tongue rolling cheerfully out the side of his mouth.]

You know, you're supposed to be a guard dog. Where were you when I was being kidnapped?

And why are you the only one there now?


[[Experiment start.]]

[Have a demon! Who is...not approaching, because Misaki's got that damned dog with her.]

What are you doing in Italy?

[mercwamouth]

You're looking unusually relaxed. Italy, huh?

[contract_star]

...Italy?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

That is what I'd like to know.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[=_=] I'm not feeling it. Apparently. I think they're speaking Italian at least.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly certain. Even if the season is wrong.

[mercwamouth]

I take it you're on a vacation you didn't ask for too?

[contract_star]

...I'm on a deserted island.

[exserpens.livejournal.com]

Well, I'd say you've got two possibilities then. You've either been kidnapped by criminals with class, as you mentioned, or it's the Twins.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Same thing, really, except for the bit about class.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...too?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[...] A deserted island.

[mercwamouth]

Hei. Desert island.

Didn't you get the memo?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

...what.

[mercwamouth]

Anyway, it seems like you two are gonna get some time to cool off. That's probably good.

[contract_star]

Yes. It's...there's sand and palm trees and a hut and a juice bar with food and drinks and such. I walked all the way around it in three hours. And there's no people. And... [He rubs the back of his head, confused.]

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Misaki! I see you're taking an unexpected vacation. Italy is quite nice.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't trust it.] Yes, well, it would be nicer if I asked for the retreat.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

I don't need time to cool off. I didn't ask for time to cool off. And besides who knows what they've really got planned?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Rubs her face.] A farmhouse. Villa. Thing. In the middle of nowhere, gorgeous nowhere, but nowhere. There's a village down the road. Everyone seems to be perfectly kind but none of them speak a language I know. Or rather, they don't speak anything but Italian.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[eyebrow!] Would you have said yes if they asked?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Well! Might have been because they knew you'd turn it down. Still, free time in Italy, can't really beat that.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

It has to be a trick.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Always a possibility! But you could always enjoy Italy for now.
