w2, saturday

[hanaban]

[ texts her a picture.......... of the night sky! unlike before, it's unclear where this is from, just an unhindered view of the stars ]

[sharkgirl]

[oh...

this is so pretty... she doesn't reply for a bit, but then:]

can i come see in person

[hanaban]

[ another picture: this one is of an empty playground, taken from high high up above

somewhere dark and quiet, where you can be up high, alone with your thoughts ]

[sharkgirl]

[she kind of wanders for a bit the school playground, and then:]

are you okay hanako

[hanaban]

[ sends her a picture... of herself! taken from high high up above

look up

he's on the roof waving down to her ]

[sharkgirl]

[she kind of just - laughs, when she looks up. and waves back.

she'll wait to see if he seems like he doesn't want her to join him, but if he doesn't go away, she'll turn into a little pink bird and fly up to him.]

[hanaban]

[ nah, he's waving her up, stepping back away from the edge to give her room to land when she gets up there ]

No longer mammal-bound?

[sharkgirl]

I could always do a bird, I'm just picky about who gets to see it.

[the bird informs him, fluffing her feathers.]

[hanaban]

[ THEN WHAT WAS THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE BAT DISCUSSION ]

... Really really big eagle?

[ big enough to pick him up and carry him?? ]

[sharkgirl]

[her being a huge brat + low social link at the time :man_standing:]

Nope, it's just this one. [trust her. she is also upset about this.]

[hanaban]

[ are you sure that's the only one ]

[sharkgirl]

[she is going to make a nest out of his hair.]

[hanaban]

Okay, okay, okay!!

[ NO STOP she's going to knock off his hat, he needs that or he'd look like a background npc character off the streets ]

[sharkgirl]

[she kind of laughs a little, and then flops down on the edge of the building again.]

If you tell anybody I can be a bird I'm going to let Rita empty your pockets next time, by the way.

[hanaban]

[ he sits down next to her, letting his legs dangle over the edge ]

Aw, it's not like I carry anything important around anyways.

[ allegedly. but he's been enjoying "I can just say no" privileges at trial so he'll keep his mouth shut ]

How come you don't want people to know?

[sharkgirl]

[she will be a bird for a bit, settling.]

It's none of their business. [mostly, that's what it boils down to.] They'll ask me to be something I don't want to be.

[hanaban]

[ like Hanako asking for rhino pics ]

So you punch 'em on the nose and they'll know not to do that next time.

[sharkgirl]

[it's fine, hanako has like a single right in this regard]

Duh. I do, what do you take me for? [oh trust her] But it's better if they don't ask in the first place.

[hanaban]

... Did it piss you off all those times I asked?

[ it was. multiple times. ]

[sharkgirl]

Yeah. You had better watch your butt on Thursdays.

[hanaban]

What, gonna break my nose in my sleep?

[ like whoever was with Yae Miko at the pet shop like last Thursday didn't have ample chance ]

[sharkgirl]

Stomp you to death with my rhino hooves.

[ok

she shifts from a bird to her girl form, her legs dangling over the side.]

[hanaban]

You're a little too late for that!

[sharkgirl]

[she peers at him.]

You don't look dead to me. [but she'd believe it, especially after he said he's not used to having to eat, sleep or walk.]

[hanaban]

[ That just makes him laugh. He could've been a robot? she doesn't know ]

There are plenty of us here who are already dead. All that's here, in front of you, is an echo... nothing more.
