[meteorblade]

[there's an edge punisher leaning against the wall at the big room where the chaos gate is. his weapon is a large broadsword literally larger than he is.

the redhead isn't doing anything, just watching the giant ring of the chaos gate spin. maybe he's waiting for someone.

or something.

who knows.]

[noisyclockhands]

[ but you're not supposed to wait, you're supposed to dooo stuff!

That seems to be Oz' motto at least because he is rounding a random corner and just

almost barrelling into you. somehow. GOOD THING HE KNOWS HOW TO STEP ON THE BREAKS ]

Oh, wow, hey!

[meteorblade]

[hiroto is going to wait if he wants to wait okay

besides it's

weird

being here for the second time

okay??]

Ah- [but he is startled. where the hell did you come from anyway?]

Are you alright?

[noisyclockhands]

[ Hiroto don't be so stubborn

we already have enough stubborn bitties

not okay, Oz already finds it weird to be here for the first time!!

Also, hi-hi-hi-hi, you now have a startled bunny peering at you quizzically.

Almost as if you were the one who materialised out of thin air yep ]

Ahahaha yes! I thought I'd seen a rabbit and tried to catch it [ is this blatant bs? an Alice-in-Wonderland/Canon reference? Hard to tell, Oz is looking earnest here ]

[meteorblade]

[but you're not endou-kun, or from sun garden...]

I'm afraid I haven't seen any rabbits passing by. Maybe you took a wrong turn? [hiroto is just gonna ride along this bs and still be helpful. w/e]

[takingyouhome]

[Sup, fellow Edge Punisher. You're not the only one around here. Rena's been circling the area, so Hiroto's probably seem her pass by several times by now. She's about to do it again when she comes to a stop suddenly. She spots Hiroto, waves, then approaches.]

Hello, hello!

[meteorblade]

Hello.

[he smiles at her. he noticed her go around a few times and he'd wondered if she was lost or if she needed help, or what it was exactly that she wanted to do, but he wasn't sure how to approach her.]

[takingyouhome]

This place is certainly strange, isn't it? Isn't it? I don't mind, though! Strange as it is, it's rather nice!

[meteorblade]

It certainly is. Strange and nice. [oh wow she's lively~]

[kaminotakuto]

[Shindou steps out of the Choas Gate, back from a trip to a field to chase monsters. He still can't get used to how disorienting using the Chaos Gate can be though.

So watch him trip down the steps, yeah!!!!]

[meteorblade]

[alksjdfijg

hiroto is going to come running and hopefully reach shindou before he hits the ground face first!!!]

Careful there, you could've hurt yourself!

[kaminotakuto]

[Luckily, Shindou manages to steady himself before he falls.]

No, I think I'll be alright...

[And then his voice trails off because hey, this guy looks familiar.]

Have we met before?

[meteorblade]

Thank goodness.

[he is relieved that shindou didn't fall on his face, but...]

No, I believe this is the first time we've met. [he offers a smile and his hand.] I'm Hiroto.

[resipiscence]

[ aaaand the person who steps out of the Chaos Gate, fabulous hair and all, probably... isn't... the person you're waiting for. but he pauses as he walks out across the threshold when he notices you standing there.

...


..... ]

Oh.

[meteorblade]

Ah-

[yeah, not who hiroto was waiting for, really, but he recognizes that face.

it's' the face of the guy who stole gazelle and burn suzuno and nagumo.

so is this going to be a staring contest or...?]

[resipiscence]

[ and of course, aphrodi recognizes hiroto-- it's just that of all places, he didn't think... he'd see him... here.

.......... but then again, staring isn't very productive, is it? out of habit, he flicks his hair over his shoulder, shifting the weight gun that he has strapped across his back, and walks over. ]

Waiting for someone?

fksfdjlkjg yun ;u; ♥

[meteorblade]

In a way. I was wondering if he might have come this way, too.

[galaxiapride]

[He's also been at the Chaos Gate for a while, staring at the pretty lights or something. It's hard to tell with his stupid mask.]

[meteorblade]

[hiroto's noticed, and after a while, curiosity gets the better of him.]

Are you waiting for someone?

[galaxiapride]

I'm hoping someone will come eventually.

[mercuryangel]

[The sword would catch her eyes if it was drawn, but the hair also stuck out.]

[It certainly wouldn't be out of place on a Mars Adept.]

Hello.

[meteorblade]

[oh! he wasn't expecting a girl, really--]

Hello. [have a smile too.] Is there something I can help you with?

[mercuryangel]

No, not really. I just saw you were lonely and thought I should talk with you.

I'm Mia.

[tank_sniper]

[Shinon steps out of the gate and promptly turns around to step back in-- but pauses when she sees a familiar shock of red hair nearby.

...

Well... She could use a small break before returning to the grind.]

...Hey.

[meteorblade]

[oh-- it's shinon.

hiroto smiles at her and waves.]

Hey, Shinon!

[tank_sniper]

[...Huh. Someone smiling to see her. She can't help but catch herself wondering how long that will last, but she quickly erases the thought. Things are different now.]

Were you planning on going somewhere?
