Outside (Ai)
-...-
-...A-Around the time she noticed Aichi was missing...-
-...-
-...N-No, Sthesia and Misaki wouldn't lie to her...-
-...B-But that feeling she's been having...-
-...W-What if...-
-W-What if that's what it's been telling her?!-
-She... She has to talk to Sthesia and Misaki now...-
-They...-
-...-
-Ai looks over at Luis.-
"...A-Are you all right, Luis...?"
-...Is it just you guys or does she suddenly seem a lot more... uncertain and sad?-
Outside (Ai)
-She looks at Luis, still visibly worried about something.-
"I-I'm glad you're all right..."
-...-
-...And then she sees Kareena is a bit aways from here.-
-She waves, although if Kareena were to look, she'd see that Ai seems a tad... preoccupied.-
-The idea of Aichi having been kidnapped... and the idea of Sthesia and Misaki lying to her...-
-...They're weighing heavily on her mind...-
-...And if by some chance they weren't lying to her, then there's still an Aichi that was kidnapped for some reason...-
-Kiko was searching more thoroughly, disturbing the foliage a bit more as she scanned her own sector-
Hmmm... oh! I think I found something!
-sighs-
Oh, Frenchy-boy. You know I'm just going to call you by those nicknames if I don't know your actual name.
... Wait, did you call him Luis, Ai?
I feel like that's his name, isn't it.
Or is it a like- nickname.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post-Kareena, seemingly broken out of her spell slightly, looks up at luis and the new person-
-she just looks tired-
-but still, she forces herself off her swing...slowly...and manages to drag herself over to the group, but stands outside of the main grouping-
-she watches but says nothing, fiddling with the lace on her dress in uncertainty-
Kareena: ...?
All our wishes can come trueOutside (Ai)
-...Huh? Oh...-
"Y-Yeah, his name is Luis... We've seen each other a couple of times..."
-She wants to be better friends with him, but he seems so shy...-
-...A lot like herself, actually.-
-Kareena approached now.-
"H-Hello, Kareena..."
-...Both Kareena and Ai clearly have things on their minds...-
"A-Are you doing all right...?"
-What happened before...-
-...It had to take something of a toll on her...-
-Kiko holds up.. a copy of Das Kapital, beaten and worn by the weather-
Is this it? It's pretty big...!
Ahhh- got you.
I only briefly saw him like- yesterday. Well- not really saw him much, he pretty much ran.
Soon as he saw something that wasn't human. Not me specifically I think, there was someone else there.
-Xenos looks over at Kareena-
Oh hey! Welcome to the party.
Drinks aren't available.
Neither's food.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post-She looks at Xenos-
Kareena: I'm...not hungry but...thanks...
-she rolls her eyes, she knows sarcasm when she hears it, but no point in picking a fight-
Kareena: Hey, Ai...I managed to get away from Blade for a few moments...
Kareena: I spent all of last night moving all my dad's stuff here...cause...
-she sighs, and swallows-
Kareena: I-had-the-king-have-Merlin-put-a-protective-barrier-up-so-Zeraphine-can't-go-home-but-neither-can-I-and-I-didn't-tell-Yen Sid-or-Blade.
-well THAT was quite a motor mouth-
All our wishes can come trueWell I was going out for a different pizza experience than the one in the kitchen.
Y'know- a place where they make the pizza for you.
But yeah, then I got distracted talking to these two.
-points between Ai and Luis-
Aww... I really thought I had it. -she throws it away, and continues searching-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postKareena: There's pizza places here?
-her eyes suddenly grow wide, for just a moment-
-being part wolf, she must LOVE food, as doggies tend to do-
Kareena: Tell them? ...
-she shakes her head-
Kareena: If I Yen Sid he'll just bring the barrier down, putting all my friends at risk again. She's contained...I can't tell them until I have defeated her once and for all...no matter how much trouble I'll get in...
Kareena: ...Yen Sid might even take away my apprenticeship...but I'll have lost it knowing I saved my friends...
Kareena: I just don't know how to stop her...But I believe the answer lies in my father's estate...
All our wishes can come true-She nods-
Kareena: Yes...it was true what she said, my father was a pirate, and a good one...my research in his journals suggests to me that I have only found a small portion of his treasure...I have put all my fathers things in the basement for now...I but believe there may be a treasure map that leads to his main trove, if his...if his will is any indication...
-she looks at Xenos-
Kareena: ...hey, if you want pizza, I'll buy it for ya. I need to go somewhere else anyway, going stir crazy...
All our wishes can come true

Solace shook her head again, miming dropping something here.
