[Kuhn is back on the Plane, sitting at the bar with a can of beer and staring off into space. Yes, she's still a girl. She's also wearing a lovely dress she's borrowed from the Hitachiin collection, if you happen to be able to notice such a thing as fine dressmaking.

More importantly, she looks bothered by something, like she's trying to figure something out and failing miserably no matter how hard she thinks - and she looks to be thinking so hard that you'd expect smoke to be coming out of her ears. She sighs, drumming her fingernails against the bar.]

Man... why does everything feel so off now...? Did I miss something around here?

[wait, Kyouya knows his hosts' families' products inside out, so that does catch his attention]

[As a woman, however, Kuhn gets treated to Host Manners]

I do not know, Princess, but I did sense a similar change in the air. Perhaps some tension lingers from what occurred at the onsen.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[She blinks at Kyouya, and makes a cute little wrinkly-nosed face at being called "Princess".]

Oh come on, I know I was handsome before the experiment, but two people calling me Princess? This is getting a little weird. [She clears her throat, apparently done muttering to herself.] Uh, the onsen? Well, guess I did miss something. What was it?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[It's the curse of being around Hosts. They're very well-trained.]

I would prefer not to discuss ugly matters with such a beautiful individual as yourself, but... [The smile fades.] The black liquid that some here have as blood was pouring out from the onsen. It was not pleasant. The problem seems to have been taken care of.

[She fidgets a little at the flattery. She's trying to keep her mouth shut, but if this keeps up...]

It what? [She frowns.] Wow. I bet that was disturbing. The heck caused it, do you know?

{Diva wanders closer, tilting her head as she stands in the doorway}

Ne, Kuhn, those are odd clothes for you.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[She smiles when he sees Diva and is about to greet her, then remembers her current, ahem, state. She turns about five shades of red and begins laughing nervously.]

D-Diva! My star! Hi! Err... blame the twins?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Her eyes instantly go to Kuhn's chest}

Ah, are those real?

{Diva has no sense of person space, so she walks right up and puts her hands on Kuhn's breasts} Ah, they are! Ne, the Twins are being weird lately.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Kyouya hesitates for a moment. There is no smile as he adjusts his glasses, his eyes vanishing behind the shine.] From what I understand, a number of bodies were found on the onsen's thirteenth floor.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah they-

[Whoa, hello, hands on boobs. And you thought she was blushing before... but at least she manages not to flounder or spaz out. In fact, she could get used to that...]

Y-yeah, I don't know what possessed them to do this!

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[She winces.] Damn. What was the sense in something like that? Man, I wonder who's even behind it...

[She shakes her head.] But hey, even if that's the case, how does it explain the weird feeling I'm getting in my reality? I mean, is it really related to here?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Smiles! And withdraws her hands} How weird! I guess it doesn't really matter, but you're pretty cute as a girl, you know?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[curious now] What sort of feeling is disturbing you, Princess?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Really? You think so? [She smiles.] Thank you, Diva. But surely I'm still nowhere near as lovely as you are.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

Ne, now you're just flattering me.

{She sits down next to Kuhn, setting her head on the bar like she's tired}

You know, I came here because I was hoping for once that maybe I could drink until I didn't remember things anymore. Ahh, but I don't think I want to anymore. It's nicer to just sit and talk.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Well before, everything felt... like one. But now, it feels like some bits are real, and some bits aren't. Especially the people. I keep getting this sinking feeling like something's just... off. Look, I know it sounds weird, but I can't think of another way to describe it.

[She sighs, and kicks back a rather large amount of that beer of hers.] And by the way? I'm not a princess. I'm not even a girl! It-... The twins-... Man, this had better not go on much longer. [Maybe more beer will help. She eyes the back of the bar, debating whether or not to start looking.]

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Well, at least I'm not lying, hmm? [She gives her a wink.]

You can talk to me anytime, you know. I'd ask what happened, but if it's something you'd rather not think about, I'm not going to pry it out of you.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[Instead of shrugging this off, Kyouya actually considers it.] I've felt something similar the past few days. I had thought it was nothing.

[But here's a bit of a smile.] Ahh, but anyone who wears something from the Hitachiin collection must be a Princess of the highest calibre, regardless of gender.

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She smiles a little} Oh, I don't know, I'm probably just exaggerating. The Plane has been odd, lately, is all.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

I thought it might be nothing, but it's nagging at me. That's why I came here. And if you're feeling the same way...

[She tugs at the dress in her chest region, looking down and smiling juuust faintly.] Maybe it's because I'm stuck with a girl body right now, but yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with these dresses. [She looks back up at Kyouya.] You know Kaoru, then?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It really has been. I just can't put my finger on what's so wrong... [She trails off, staring off into space a little.]

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I know. But I don't think I should share. It's better not know.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

[She looks over at Diva.] Better not to know, huh? You sure?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{Simply} It makes this place a lot more scary, really.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

That's possible? [A very slight chuckle, but then she's back to serious.]

Well, now you have me worried. Will you be alright?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

{She laughs} I'll be fine. I'm always fine. Don't worry about me, Kuhn.
