+++ 奇跡国 - Miracle Country +++

[hello, Kiseki! it's been quite a while! if you're wondering what happened to this handsome gentleman, he sort of took a vacation.

out of pure embarrassment.

the thing is, that little incident with him being bittified was SO mortifying that for the past few weeks, it's been hard to find Rumpel when he's not in his Watanuki's the shop.

you might see him now, though! he could be on any one of the islands, sneaking around and generally being dodgy. he'll be by a fountain, looking around to see if anyone's watching, and pulling a very suspicious looking bottle with green glowing liquid out of his pocket...

uh oh.]

[You might not have noticed that she went missing entirely, but Emma was a bit out of contact today! Having disappeared from Kiseki and just now reappearing in the park, in a black dress and red winter coat, confused and struggling with her cell phone at the moment.]

This is insane.

One minute I'm heading home and now-- what the hell is going on?

[She calls the house phone over and over, hoping to get through, to where Henry is.] Henry! Henry, can you hear me?

[Maybe she hit her head after that surprise proposal because j f c.]

[note!! here is Emma being updated from her canon point in midseason 2 to the start of mid season 3 (NYC Serenade), then to the end of the episode with her memories back properly in the comments. Feel free to timeskip to that part with her here in responding if you want, either way works for me.]

[After work - and having changed out of his bunny suit - Utsusemimaru heads over to the Sakura Park. It's time for him to do some Serious Thinking about his love life, and that includes turning to his friends for advice (and avoiding Daigo at the same time). He wanders all over the park throughout the afternoon, at times talking to himself and gesticulating to the park animals, or buying a comforting ice cream cone only to give up halfway. For a while he tries to figure things out alone, but with the situation getting more confusing the more he thinks on it, he's soon ready to pounce on anyone friendly who crosses his path and beg them to help him sort through his concerns.

Any love gurus out there?]

[There’s a woman, clad in a bikini top and jeans, walking through the shopping district, holding her journal, muttering to herself]

Honestly…! Those women were so unhelpful. They could have at least told me something, especially with the log pose like this. Something is really wrong, I have never seen them like this… [She frowns at the strange wristband she is wearing, with three small globes on it, each having a compass-like needle inside, all of which are spinning wildly.]

I can’t believe this, where has everyone else gone? I can see Luffy running off on his own, but even Usopp and Chopper… [Sigh, her nakama.]

[She peeks into one of the stores – women’s clothing store, actually – waving at the store clerk] Excuse me, mister! Could you tell me anything about this island?

[The Kisekian behind the counter shakes his head, instead pointing at her journal and telling her to ask that. She makes a face, clearly having heard this before.]

Yes, yes… [But she has to try a different tactic] How about my friends, have you seen them? There’s a man with a long nose, another with green hair, one who is always smoking, a skeleton, a small reindeer, a woman with black hair and sunglasses—

[This is as far as she gets, before the Kisekian gives her the exact same answer as before. This time, she doesn’t look surprised at the answer, huffing and pouting a little before shrugging.]

Right! I’ll go ask someone else, then. But before that… [In a flurry, she grabs nearly half of the clothes in the entire shop] So, if I buy all of these, will you give me a 70% discount?
