first flash [ action; all over ]

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Good morning, citizens! You have recently acquired one [1] Mio Amakura. Now, despite the fact that she's had a little time to situate herself here, she's still looking a little lost. While she wanders throughout campus (and you're free to find her almost anywhere of your choosing) she will sometimes turn to her side and open her mouth, as if to address someone. When this someone doesn't magically appear at her side, she looks a little disturbed and then goes back to looking at whatever she was looking at before she had a Mayu Is Missing moment.]

quad? :>

Loose something?

[He's taking a wild guess.]

quad it is!

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[She turns around slowly, almost as if she's apprehensive about what she'll find.]

Oh-- [Slightly relieved look.] I guess you could say that, yes.

[notinvisobill.livejournal.com]

[Don't worry, he's only half a ghost, Mio!]

Need help? I mean, I'm new here, but maybe I can help.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Not sure what the Mio Amakura Manual of Ghost Hunting says about half-ghosts, but at the very least, she won't show any outward reaction.]

You are new also? [She looks around briefly.] I was just exploring a little. There's a lot to see, isn't there?

[notinvisobill.livejournal.com]

Arrived just yesterday, actually. But yeah, there really is a lot to see.

[And he'd probably know his way around if he hadn't tossed everything he had gotten.]

Dorm hallway?

[worthyheir]

Hey, watch it...!

[Quickly scoops up the little white kitten attempting to make a break from his room before Mio accidentally steps on him.]

dorm hallway!

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Stepping aside quickly, as soon as she hears a voice.]

I'm sorry! [How mortifying, nearly stepping on a kitten!]

[worthyheir]

Why don't you watch where you're walking instead of everywhere else?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

You're right, I should have been paying attention. I'm really sorry.

[Noticing from where he's seated eating his breakfast the shift of expressions on Mio's face, Rasler watches her curiously. After a moment, and once he's finished his meal, he gets up to dispose of his tray and approaches her.]

Forgive me, is everything all right?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Turning away from whatever she happens to be examining at the moment and nodding slowly.] I'm all right....

[kingslain.livejournal.com]

You looked to be lost in thought. I apologize if I have interrupted them.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Smiling a little.] I wasn't, really. I'm still learning my way around, that's all!

2F hallway ;

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

Whatever you're lookin' for, you won't find it.

[Seifer's been watching her for a while now and is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest, a smirk on his face.]

2F hallway ;

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[She pauses, scrunching up her shoulders just a bit, like a child who just got caught with her hand in a cookie jar. She slowly turns.] I'm sorry...?

2F hallway ;

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

What're you doing up here talkin' to yourself?

[He doesn't mean literally talking to herself, more like she's about to but always stops herself.]

2F hallway ;

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Talking to myself? [...] Oh, that. I keep thinking someone will be there....

just outside the training center... ?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr's just finished up his daily round of killing monsters and is walking out of the training center, arms stretched over his head. He's actually on his way over to the quad now when he sees a girl apparently trying to speak to someone who's... not there?

In any case, he approaches her, a curious expression on his face.]

You talk to ghosts or something?

outside the training center!

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Talk to ghosts? No, not really. [But she is kind of smiling vaguely.] Why do you ask?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He points at the empty space she'd been trying to talk to.]

Not every day you see a girl tryin' to talk to something not there.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Oh, that. [Now her tone implies that this is something much more mundane than what she'd originally thought.] I have a habit of talking to my sister about this kind of thing. I keep thinking she's there, but she's not.

quad

[tortileghostwriter]

[Here's a kid with an echoing voice, a shifting shadow, and an eldritch monstrosity wrapped around his soul. Mio might see a kind of miasma around him, maybe almost like a great tree is growing out of him.

He's a good guy though. A pretentious douchebag, but a good guy.]

Searching for someone, are we?

quad

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[She takes a moment to reply, having turned to face in the direction of the voice addressing her. She slowly nods.] I am. How did you know?

quad

[tortileghostwriter]

There's a sort of look about you. You're obviously not looking for something, that'd be much more obvious. It looks more like you're trying to spot someone.

[Genre-savvy. Blame books.]

quad

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[She looks, briefly, at a spot that seems to be just beyond her current conversation partner.]

Well, it's more like I keep thinking I'll see someone when I turn around.
