oo1 - daytime

[honestmana]

She has no idea where she is —or a little of what— for a short moment. She’s outside but she was supposed to be in the castle————

Then she knows that she made a bad thing —— “Nue-san Mana is sorryyyy!” —— she trips and rolls right into a lamp post. She sniffs but she’s felt worse pain even if she didn’t like it. “Mana should have listened to Nue-saaan!”

She clutches to the lamp post and sniffs. She needs to find Nue-san and apologize—! She wasn’t supposed to leave the castle. . .

She doesn’t notice that she was clinging desperately to something she doesn’t have a clue about what it is, nor that she doesn’t recognize how different it is from the Japan that she is familiar with.

[Bertholdt sees something tiny roll passed as he's walking passed, stopping short to stare down at Mana as she cries and talks to herself. He... just watches, really, his hands pushed into his pockets. He's not really... the helpful type. But he does finally walk over, peering down at her.]

You... hit your head pretty hard.

[honestmana]

[ She didn't notice him. Not until he spoke, at least. She squeaks in surprise, and looks up. ]

Mana diiiid?

[ She did hit her head but she didn't notice how hard, but if he said she hit her head hard, she must have. ]

[toobig]

I think so... I mean, you hit the pole, right?

[Why... is it speaking in third person...]

[honestmana]

If you say sooo. Yes!

[ Mana just does that, it's nothing weird. No one has said that it's weird to do that. ]

[theheroguy]

... Yo, you okay?

[Goku'll be sitting on a fluffy yellow cloud as he asks this.]

[honestmana]

[ She’s not really okay but she’s way too easily distracted. ]

You have a cloud!

[theheroguy]

Yeah, his name is Kintoun! Wanna ride?

[honestmana]

Eh!? Mana can do that!?

[strawberrytart]

Nue-san?

[ Ichigo's standing next to her, curiously staring at this scene. This person's obviously not one of the NPCs so.. ]

Who's that?

[honestmana]

[ Mana loves talking about Nue-san! You just asked her to talk a lot! ]

He's the only person who was nice to Mana! Mana loves him! He saved Mana! He's really nice! Everyone are scared of him becasue he looks like a ghost but he's not a bad person! He just wants to help! He's really nice!

[ Then she turns gloomy again ]

And Mana didn't do as she was tooold, Nue-san will be saaad!

[strawberrytart]

He sounds like a nice person!

[ Ichigo smiles cheerfully. She doesn't know everyone here, so she's not sure if this person is new or just someone she hasn't met yet. She's really hoping she doesn't have to be the one to explain the situation, so she's going to steer away from it. ]

What were you told? I'm sure he'll forgive you for whatever it was.

[honestmana]

He is! He's the only one who was nice to Manaaaa, so he's really nice and Mana loves Nue-saaan!

[ Repeating herself is something that Mana is good at. ]

He told Mana not to leave the castleeee!

[ Mana doesn't know that yes, he will forgive Mana. On the other hand, he won't forgive himself. ]

[tsunball]

[ Leon is about to just walk past her, he figures it's a NPC acting all weird or something like that.. but then she keeps calling out like that, so he can't help but glance over to her. .. A girl, huh? She's pretty cute too..?

Fine, fine, he steps over already. ]

Hey, who're you calling out for so badly?

[honestmana]

[ Squeak! ]

Nue-san! He helped Mana and then Mana didn't listen to him! Mana is baaad!

[ Sniff. ]

[tsunball]

Great.. [ He's mumbling it under his breath. Sure, she seems cute enough, but this sounds like it's going to be impossible to deal with, he can already tell.. ]

And who would this "Mana" be?

[mightletyouknowme]

[Sena is normally not a very nice person but she's running over to the girl, bending down to check on her. Even if it looked painful, there was something adorable about it.]

Are you okay? It's okay here, now.

1/2

[honestmana]

[ Mana doesn't know the difference between nice peopel and not nice people either way - "not nice" is when they hit and punish her for things she didn't do, not anything else. right? ]

Mana is okay...

[ .... ]

2/2

[honestmana]

You have yellow hair! Mana has never seen anyone with yellow hair before!

[ Sudden flip to "amazed" ]

[mightletyouknowme]

[Then maybe Sena isn't a bad person, if the bar is set THAT low.]

[Oh god if this girl isn't just the cutest thing. A flip? She's acrobatic...]

Heh, I'm glad. It's always sad when cute girls get hurt.

[But then a hand goes to her own hair.] There's not a lot of blonde people in Japan but it's real.

[junesprince]

[Yosuke hurries over to her as soon as he hears her crying out. He doesn't expect to find a girl clinging to a lamppost like this... Man, she must be really distressed! He doesn't know what's up, but he knows he has to do something.]

Whoa, hey, what's wrong?

[honestmana]

[ Sniff, sniff, sniiiiff. ]

Mana was baaad.

[junesprince]

[He kneels down, reaching out to put a hand on her shoulder, hoping that'll help to calm her down.]

Why? What happened?

[obsessing]

Don't be so loud.

[ There's a pinkette with binoculars and an earpiece trying to listen to something. Or someone, anyway. ]

[honestmana]

[ Squeak! ]

Mana is sorry!

[obsessing]

At least you apologized. I couldn't hear Yukki.
