+++ 奇跡国 - Miracle Country +++

[It is Friends' Day today, and Miracle Country is joining in.

Those who do, indeed, have friends here or elsewhere will notice a white string leading to them, or broken if this friend happens to not be in this world.

That aside, the theater will be showing friendship-themed movies, and many other films may be found available in the underground common room for anyone to watch. Shops and locations like the zoo or amusement park will be offering discounts if you bring someone along. And by the evening, the familiar picnic-like set up will be found at the park near the lake, with blankets and food prepared for everyone to share together.]

[The video opens on...a hand. That quickly moves out of sight to reveal a slightly scruffy, extremely fluffy man. He grins excitedly when he realizes he's recording himself.]

Ah! That's how you do it!

[The view moves out - he's holding the book at arm's length now, you can see the Welcome Center behind him - and the man bows]

Hello everyone! I'm Nobuharu Udo, and I just arrived! [looks at the eggy building] The beautiful women gave me this journal, but I didn't really understand them - they all kept talking over each other. [exaggeratedly runs one hand through his afro] I guess the angels have their heads in the clouds. [jazzhands!]

[Cheesy lopsided grin] Anyway! This place is pretty great and all, but I'm wondering if my friends are here too. If anyone sees my sister Yuuko or my niece Rika, could they let me know? Or any of my sentai, it'd be good to know they're all okay. Our leader is Kyoryu Red, but everyone calls him King.

[Bows again] Thank you for listening! Hope to ear from you soon! [uses one hand to make his ear stick out and waggles his fingers. The video ends on that shot]

[Waking up in an unfamiliar place, without knowing how he had even gotten there, was something that he was sadly used to. Despite everything the ladies had told him, he was still quite confused. The difference this time was that he could clearly remember everything that happened before. He remembered Yato, Hiyori, everyone he had meet… He could remember walking the halls of Hiyori’s school and wanting more than anything to be just a normal person who could go to class, have friends and be normal, not a weapon or a God’s servant.

But now Yato wasn’t there. Did that mean that he was… free? Maybe this was a new chance, a real second chance. He just had to try, to see if people could see him…]

Hello? Is anybody there that can hear me? This place is really cool! It’s huge, and Yato is not here to boss me around, so that already makes this place great.

Though I really have to ask what is this journal for? Do I have to write in it, talk to it…? I hope it isn't some kind of thing this place forces you to do, I'm really tired of being told what I have to do and what I can't do. And what’s up with all the eggs with wings around? Are they supposed to fly or something? And is there always so... flooded here?

Now, I just wonder… can anybody see me?

[He sounds hopeful and excited, despite the strange environment. ]

[Video]

Hello, Kiseki.

[ Yuuki is inside when she comes into focus. It's clear she may have been outside earlier, though, if the pretty white sundress, parasol in her hands, and sunglasses is anything to go off of. She's been spending most of the daylight hours inside, but if she wants to get anything done she has to venture out still, at times.

And she doesn't like staying in when everyone else is out enjoying themselves. It's clear she's exhausted though, an arm wrapped around her waist. She puts on a smile, though, and the shades help veil her eyes.]

I heard that there might be magicians, or wish-granters here in Kiseki. [Outside of Watanuki-- she hesitates to use his name, though, when she knows that Himawari is mourning his loss. ]

If you are one of those people or know someone who is one of those people, please respond. It's important. Thank you.

[ She bows politely before cutting the feed. ]

[Action]

[ Yuuki was trying to find an area not currently affected by the antics of Miracle Country. If they find the train stations, will they be unaffected? Are all the other Islands currently in the same state?

It was her intention-- but she's not feeling like her typical, stronger, self right now. And the sun really is unrelentingly hot. Which is why anyone who finds her in the raft she procured will find one pureblood vampire passed out, her eyes spinning, and overheated. ]

[Rose can be seen sitting by a bench at Sakura Park with the tree behind her. She's really just taking a minute or two to catch her breath as she's been doing a bit more exploring today. She's unaware of the small thought bubble looming above her head projecting a cafe and tea.]

Maybe some tea later would be nice.

[ooc: She's going through the thoughts bubble event, feel free to bug her. :D]

[Ucchii starts his video with a formal bow, but when he raises his head he's grinning from ear to ear.]

I have just finished calculating based on the modern calendar and have come to the realization that today is the anniversary of my birth. However, much has changed since the Sengoku Period, and I do not know the first thing about birthdays in the modern age. Does anyone have any advice for how I should celebrate? If possible I would like to make it fun for as many people here as I am able, so any ideas that would accommodate others would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

[He bows again and then ends the video to go bug Daigo to take him out for ice cream.]

[Good morning, Kiseki! Perhaps you were starting your day off already, thinking of the morning ahead in school, at one of the stores you work at, training by yourself, or even just being lazy and finding ways to spend the time… Well, not today.

Shortly after waking up (and without even the chance to dress up! If your sleeping attire is not suitable, Kiseki shall provide pyjamas or bath robes), you’ll be drawn to the ever-so-versatile sakura park, where many tables with food are set out. All kinds of breakfast things are available, from pancakes to sausages, eggs, breads and pastries, to fruits and yogurts, many kinds of teas and coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juice, and anything you could possibly want. While some tables are set for eating at them, you might choose to hang out in the many Mokona-shaped beanbag chairs set around the ground on top of big picnic blankets.

It’s one big lazy morning off for everyone, so enjoy the treats and have fun.]

[Anyone who may stray near the beach today, or look at their journal, will find that there's a rather large ship waiting just off shore - The Jewel of the Realm - although it's easy to see that it's completely empty, save for the young man in lieutenant garb standing at the shore of the beach with a thoughtful frown, looking around when he spots the journal, as if it were waiting for him]

[He picks it up curiously, frowning thoughtfully as he examines it but then is quickly looking around, calling out]

Captain? [When there's no answer, there's a touch of concern to his tone] Brother? ... Liam, where have you wandered off to now?

[He can't even remember what happened -- he turned his head and suddenly his brother was missing. Did he leave without him to find this "Dreamshade", then? He sighs and presses his hands to his face -- and it's notable to see that, yes, he has two hands. No hook.]

Very well. If you're going to be stubborn and go off without me into this... "Neverland", then I have no choice but to follow you. [And although there's slight exasperation and worry in his tone, after a moment he smiles and starts heading off down the beach, in search of his brother and captain]




[ooc: Hook re-intro, although replaying the "deage" event to make him ooooh, about 300 years younger lol. Once the event wears off, however, he will be from the end of 3x17, The Jolly Roger.]

[The very initial feed shows a crease to the brow of a fairly young looking kid, however it might rival to that of a very certain vampire hunting vampire here in Kiseki.]

So, what's so 'miraculous' about this place? Those women were annoying enough that I couldn't even tell how much of what they said was actually helpful. [No, more than just annoying. But anyway. He lets out a sigh]. . . I guess it all seems nice at first, or something, though. Or at least it looks like it.

[There's a bit of a frown afterward, though. There's something that's been bugging him, even in the short time he has been here.]

Ah. . . I want to ask, though: anyone see a guy named Zero? He just left the room for a moment, but now I don't see him anywhere. His lessons just ended, and he almost always lets me know if he's planning on going elsewhere, but I haven't heard anything, which of course really isn't like him.

[this is kind of scaring him, though he won't really admit it. Instead, he puts on a smile (maybe even a grin).]

He looks exactly like me, so he shouldn't be hard to find at all! Tell him Ichiru is looking, okay? That'd be great!

{ ACTION }

[Anyone near or around the Sakura Park might notice a young boy who is looking up at the majestic tree. He rather likes it, although is also rather distracted, because of the whole suddenly being in a new, unfamiliar place kind of thing. It's tough to tell exactly how he feels on the matter, however it isn't incredibly positive, if you look hard enough. At some point, he steps closer, bringing up a hand to lightly touch its wide base. It is rather pretty.

To those who may approach, however, you might notice something very familiar about him. The pale violet eyes, light silver hair that is more unkempt than not.

—Regardless, he does seem to be rather new, here.]

[It's late at night, and everything's calm and quiet. The sky is clear, perhaps more than usual, almost as though it's inviting people to look up at it. It seems tonight is the perfect time for a late stroll - maybe you had a bad dream and felt like clearing your mind. Maybe you couldn't fall asleep at all. Or you were just drawn by the pretty stars and the relaxing atmosphere, perfect to recover from the stress of having almost lost important memories...]
