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.]

Oh, so you're missing someone then. Must be nice being that close to your siblings.

[He gives her a lopsided grin.]

Dunno if you like it here enough to hope for it, but she might end up at the Garden someday. If you're lucky or... she's unlucky... ?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

She's my twin. [This seems to make her look vaguely disturbed.]

I have to find her again, because I told her I would. [...] It would be better if we were both here, maybe.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr's no expert in reading facial expressions, but he gets enough of a weird vibe to give Mio an odd look.]

Something wrong with your twin?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[That stabs solidly into a sore spot, so she looks aside while she answers.]

I hope she's all right, but she could get hurt.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

She in a dangerous profession?

[He gives Mio another look. She doesn't look the type to go around pulling off dangerous jobs, but who knows? Maybe the twin is.]

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Dangerous... location, you might say. [She crosses her arms.] She can't move around easily right now. I need to be there to help her.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Alright, so the mental image now switches to a disabled twin of some sort, stuck in a pit or some other dangerous spot.]

Don't have anyone else back home who can?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[That's remarkably close to the truth....]

We're alone right now.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Huh.

[Well, what can he say to that.]

Guess you are better off hoping she'll end up here then.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

If I were sent back, that would be all right too! Just as long as we're together....

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Well, you might as well choose the better place, right?

[He shrugs.]

Me? I'd rather have my friends here than back home.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

That's true. She deserves to be somewhere comfortable. I owe her that much. [And she's done a pretty poor job of delivering so far. Or so she thinks.]

ffff sorry for the edit!;;

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

What sorta place do you come from anyway? You're makin' it sound like you live in a cave or something.

not a problem! :)

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

It's nothing like that, really. [More like 'I left her locked up in a tiny room somewhere while I went to look for the key.']

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[A mildly exasperated look shows up on Zephyr's face, and he tries to tamp down the urge to roll his eyes.]

Okaaaay, so what's the deal then? Or is it something you don't or can't talk about?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if I should say. I guess you could say I'm not really sure what's happening at home either.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[That earns Mio an eyeroll, and Zephyr throws up a hand.]

Right, so we won't talk about that anymore. I'm Zephyr. And you are?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[She pauses for a moment, then extends her hand too.] I'm Mio Amakura. It's nice to meet you, Zephyr.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Yeah, nice to meet you, too.

[They shake, and when their hands part, Zephyr folds his arms across his chest. He glances over at her from out of the corner of his eye.]

So you finding everything okay here? Or did I stop you in the middle of lookin' around?

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Mio drops her hand, then moves it to join her other behind her back. She rocks backward on her heels just a little.]

I've only been looking around for a little while. There's a lot to see....

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Guess so. [A pause and a smirk slowly stretches its way across his face.] The place looks even better from the air.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

[Her mouth forms an o-shape.] Do you seek it like that often?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

Nope! Just once. Don't think I'm gonna get to see it like that again either.

[cameraobscures.livejournal.com]

Could I ask why?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

........'Cause I got into a shitload of trouble for stealing a flying bike in order to see it? Don't think I could pull off the same stunt twice anyway.

[There's not really any remorse in his expression though.]
