[The screen whirls into focus, showing Tatsumi with a bright smile and sunglasses on, despite the bandage tape across his nose]

Ya! Who is up for a talent show? Kotomi-chan and I thought it'd be a fun to see all the sort of things everyone is capable of.

Is there anyone in charge of the High School? I noticed the auditorium could use some fixing up. I'd be more than happy to help with that if it means we can host a talent show there!

In fact, I found some things that-

[His smile drops into a surprise, as he looks around a the empty table-top before him.]

What happened to all the stuff?

What stuff..?

[Tatsumi sighs before he turns to face Kotomi, who is standing behind him]

All the stuff we found while making the map.

[Kotomi just returns a blank gaze, tilting her head slightly sideways as if she has no idea what he's talking about.]

... Stuff?

[The taller of the two wilts, his strange hair tips seeming to droop ever so slightly]

You know, the snacks and soups and mugs and...things. Where did they go? You were carrying them a moment ago.

[There's that same blank stare for a few moments, her gaze shifting from Tatsumi to her hands (perhaps to make sure they're really empty) and then behind her.]

...

Huh. I wonder where they went off to...

[There is a huff and the feed ends as Tatsumi turns it off before anything else is broadcast]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Kotomi doesn't even notice that the feed stopped (although one might doubt whether she actually knew it was on in the first place), but she's still looking at their surroundings as if everything might pop up out of nowhere again.

This takes her a few silent moments before she speaks up again. ]

That's strange.

[Tatsumi isn't pleasure but he doesn't growl or get scary at Kotomi. What purpose would that serve?]

When was the last time you remember seeing it?

[ She too looks sort of surprised over the missing things, really. ]

I'm pretty sure I had them a little bit back.

Well, we should use the map we made and retrace our steps. it's early enough that we should be fine.

[He makes his way to the door, determined to find the stuff, if someone didn't just take it out of Kotomi's hands to begin with.]

[ Kotomi isn't walking just yet, she seems completely lost in thought still. ]

Maybe they went home..

[Tatsumi stops, turning again to face her, before opening the door.]

Who went home?

The things we gathered. They might have felt lost and lonely after being taken here, so they might have gone home. [ Saying this as if that would be completely normal. ]

[HE stares at Kotomi for a good moment. He realizes she is dead serious and not pulling a prank. He isn't sure if he should be laughing or not.]

Things don't just get up and walk around, though. They don't get lonely and besides, even if they did, wouldn't those cans of soup want to be eaten?

You must have dropped them or something.

Maybe they don't want to be eaten.. They can't tell us, so running away is the only option.

[ It's all she says on the matter though, she's walking towards him and the door so they can backtrack a bit. ]

{The feed turns on but Yusei doesn't say anything.

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.}

[Oh, hello guy he bit. He is assuming, from what he has gathered, that you recognize him. He adjusts his sunglasses, to cover his bruised eye, and just.... stares back for the moment]

Food can't run away once it's in a can, Kotomi-chan.

Don't tell me that's what stuff did in the place you're from.

[He opens the door, closing it after she follows him and starts along their way]

...You attacked me.

{Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.}

Normally they don't back home, but if this is another planet.. It might be some alien food.

[ Even though she walks next to him it's easy to see that she's just following his lead like some tiny duckling following its mother. ]

Did I?

[Right back at ya.]

I haven't had any food run away from me here. Actually, I haven't found anything that has ran away from me. [Unless you count Tohru, but he is Tohru.]

Are you sure you don't remember just putting them somewhere or dropping them?

Yes.
You broke my arm.

{Moar staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.}

I think I would have remembered breaking someone's arm...

Are ya sure it was me? When did it happen?

[If this kid doesn't shut up over the network, he might have to lock this.]

I recognize your hair.
And I bet if you took those sunglasses off, there would be a bruise around your eye.

It was you.

[ Tohru runs away from everything forever. ]

I don't know.. I would remember if I had, right..? [ No, Kotomi. You wouldn't remember. ]

[he takes them off, showing Yusei the still-healing bruise]

Are ya proud of yourself?

Ya, but you also would have remembered if they ran away from you, right?

[Back on the streets. Tatusmi takes the map out but it's just for show. He knows exactly where they been.]

I was defending myself.
I imagine you would have done the same if you were the one who was attacked.

Ya.

But if you hadn't struggled so much, your arm wouldn't be mess up. It wasn't a part of the plan. However, ya did good fighting. I didn't expect it from the looks of you.

...Thanks. You learn that sort of thing when you grow up in the slums.

So why did you attack me?
{He doesn't sound mad, just curious.}
