/flips visor, remember me

[dreameffect]

[A young girl is wandering the campus grounds. It's pretty obvious at first glance that she's a little... out there. She doesn't seem lost or confused, but definitely unfamiliar with the place with the way she's set on exploring every last forgotten corner.

She'll wander into classrooms, the cafeteria, even unlocked dorms. Sit at desks and lunch tables if there's an empty seat, try to sleep in beds that aren't hers, and approach people and touch them just to see what happens.

Sometimes she's carrying a knife. Sometimes she's wearing realistic cat ears. Sometimes she's riding a bike right through the hallways, holding an umbrella, or playing a recorder to herself.

What the crap.]

Ahh!?

[Whoa, something just touched her. It made her jump a little, her eyes jolted around trying to find what it was and.]

[Oh my, a wild young girl appeared.]

O-Oh, hello little girl.

[What will Noel do? She doesn't look familiar. Was she a new student? Maybe she was lost.]

Um. Did you need something?

[dreameffect]

[Oh. It's talking to her. That's a new one... She should probably say something back.]

. . .

. . .Food.

[Yeah, that sounds like a good enough answer.]

[duodeca]

[Of course she's talking, what else would she do? She's talking more than you are. But that's okay, Noel will try to help anyway.]

Food? So, you're... hungry? [THAT'S IT, RIGHT?]

Um, did you need me to show you where the cafeteria is?

[ The young girl wasn't the only one who wandered the campus. There was another, near close to the same height and structure as her, but who walked instead in a shirt of green and a skirt of brown. Her hair was tied back in a ponytail, blonde, and she wore an expression on her face that was more blank than anything.

But there was some curiosity - how she seemed to look around and walk, taking in the surroundings that she passed by. Not cool enough for a bike or a knife, this girl had nothing but herself as she went through the campus, the doors (a door, what a look one of those got from her too).

wow that's so interesting. ]

[Seeing the familiar head of blonde hair is enough to give Madotsuki pause in her explorations.

It's her.

But she shouldn't be anywhere near here. Hers is a world of colour and wonder, but hidden far far away, where it's safe. Where Madotsuki can be safe from it, too.

...It doesn't matter where she is. She's still going to ignore her as always. Why won't you look at me? Why aren't I good enough? She begins walking again, planning to just pass Poniko right by. It's not like she'd notice.]

[lightoff]

[ But she did notice.

It was as she walked by her, that instant that they were level to each other, that Poniko's feet stopped moving and she paused just as Madotsuki had done behind her. She hadn't even been looking to the side to catch any sort of glimpse of the girl, hadn't realised the footsteps behind her.

But still she stopped.

Poniko stopped, and she stared at the girl who now moved forward. She looked at her differently than she had at any of the other strangers, at any of the other things. This one was different too. She didn't recognise it. Her. Brown hair. Pink top. It didn't look like anything she knew.

Then why did it feel like she should? Was... that what she feeling right now? Poniko watched her moved.... and if the other one kept moving on, Poniko decided that she would follow them. Familiar. Something familiar. ]
