Day 378 | Open Action
[Action; Sector 4; outside the new flower shop]

[Between forced sleep and a grueling heatwave, Yuuki's managed to keep herself plenty busy despite whatever shenanigans are tossed around the domed prison. From gardening, to gathering supplies and lots of set up she's barely remained still in one place for more than a few minutes. Anyone who frequents sector four may have seen her around much more often, in conjunction with a new shop that has come together rather nicely over the course of the last few days. It settles in nicely among the businesses and brick buildings. Beautiful flowers and plants decorate the entrance, with an elegant yet simple sign overhead that reads 'Nine White Orchids'.

The sign that would indicate that they're open is flipped around to indicate that it isn't yet. But the door is propped wide open with a wedge which proves that someone is inside. A soft, feminine voice can be heard humming inside, lyrics heard intermittently. The sweet, dulcet tones reach outside the shop, intertwining invisibly around anyone within hearing distance. Be careful not to listen too closely, or it's possible to find oneself inside the shop without really thinking about it.

But then maybe you're the type who would have peeked inside anyhow?

Otherwise, the girl humming to herself might set foot outside on her own, a pot of flowers in hand, should one remain unaffected or linger outside the door.]

[Private to Yuuri Shibuya]

Yuuri-kun, can I talk to you if you have a moment?

(OOC: Her singing voice can have an enchanting affect on people (Particularly vampires if relevant or desired). Feel free to use that if you like. Otherwise feel free to resist or remain unaffected! She's not intentionally doing anything. Her desire to do well and be able to draw people into the shop is simply leaking out. Here's a Permissions Post for anyone who might find it useful.)

We don't know that.

[Leaning forward on the counter top, she continues on.]

If we manage to escape, would we just vanish home? Maybe we wont at all, and it'll be up to us to find our way back. And if everyone is out of time, how do we return to the right moment? They said we've been replaced by clones, too.

[She frowns, sitting up straight once more.] In the end we don't really have any guarantees of anything. Only that we're here right now and should make the most of everything.

It'd be nice if even just one of those questions were confirmed. [frowning as well] I want to try and be optimistic in that we'll return to our respective homes without any complications. Though I also know I need to be realistic and acknowledge the other possibilities just as well.

[He's quiet for a moment.] Yeah. . . I don't care if it's a supposed virtual setting. We're still us.

	I agree. [Even if it continues to be strange that they, are in fact, within a virtual setting to begin with.] Anyway... [She thinks it might be nicer to try and lighten the mood.] If you attend, too, we can be study partners. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	. . . That way when Ai-chan gets stuck on a problem I can go to you so that she can come to me and I'll be able to explain it to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A change of subject is plenty welcome. They would probably go around in circles had they continued.] If you want to do it that way. [So amused.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Zeroooo.] Do you know what she said to me? [Lifting her free hand up to her head and ducking in shame] She said that I haven't been able to help her with her homework in years. Why? [IT'S NOT FAIR] Why wasn't I gifted with Mother and Father's brains? Zerooo! [This injustice is too much!!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He just holds up his hands. Don't blame him!] I really don't know. [Some people are just like that. . .] Was the Chairman ever able to tutor you? [He says this as if that man is also brilliant. Welp.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He actually was, though! He just didn't act like it.]

When...? Back when we lived together? Or when I went back to the academy?

[She frowns] I rarely get to talk to the chairman anymore. Rather, Aidou-senpai has been helping me since I originally left. He started again when we got back to the academy. [ . . . . . ] The professor said I wasn't up to level with the rest of the room...

[She sighs and slumps further] Apparently senpai helps Ai-chan, too. So why is there such a difference in level?

More so back when you were living with him.

[Although all of that is just water under the bridge now. Not to mention he, himself, would frequently tutor her as well.

He (quite obviously) does come into contact with the Chairman plenty more often than she does. Although a part of him doesn't entirely care. Zero doesn't outright hate the man, but it's also not entirely a simple thing.]

It might just be upbringing. You've lived a majority of your life in a completely different environment than purebloods, and even most vampires in general.

	He did if I asked him to. Momoyama-san had also helped a lot when I was younger, too. [She wrinkles her nose] Besides, that doesn't stand to reason. Zero you sleep through most of your classes- [At least he used to...?] And still do fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-06-19 04:02 am UTC (link)
	[Maybe it was just Momoyama, then. . .? No, she didn't seem like that. Yuuki did you really watch too much television? He just blinks.] Yeah, I do. . . [Both do fine and sleep.] Although Kaito is adamant on not letting me do so in class. Master, too, when he actually teaches. They hit me on the head with a book. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm actually surprised you still attend school at home, Zero. [She means it innocently.] Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you do. But I always thought you just wanted to drop out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-06-22 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	I'd like to. Master, the Chairman, and I struck a deal, though. If I stayed around and completed high school, then I would be allowed to live on my own off-campus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-22 07:55 pm UTC (link)
	[. . . ] I'm glad they convinced you, at least. [It's good. Zero's too smart to waste an opportunity at school. Someone as smart as him shouldn't waste his talents.] . . . I really miss those days back at school. It was always so fun getting to go to class together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-06-22 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. Although I don't know if I'll do anything after. Work is only likely to get even more busy. [And complicated.] It was. [A faint smile to that. It's the truth. It was so easy, then, too, looking back on it all.] Seems like all of that was ages ago, huh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-22 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	I wish those days could have gone on forever. [There's always so much nostalgia. Of course she's glad for Ai. Knowing that she has her later, she wouldn't want to change that. But- there's always a number of what ifs, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. [Quiet.] While also nothing can remain the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I guess it doesn't.

[He faintly smiles.]

Would you believe it if I told you that that's in part due to what Ichiru's last wish for me was? To keep moving and looking forward. [Bittersweet.] It's not that I'm discarding the past. It's a part of what has shaped me, and I know I'm not at all the same person as I was when you and I first met. Even in just the past year or so I know I've really come far. I can't change the past, but. . . the future is something I can still take a hold of, and hope that I can try to shape it in the best way I'm capable of.

	[Really... when did he grow up so much/ She'd be lying if she didn't say she was proud. No matter how nostalgic she might feel, a Zero that looks forward to the future is a Zero worth celebrating.] Yeah. I'm glad you feel that way, Zero. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	instrumented 2016-06-30 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	[It happened even before he noticed.] In part because Yuuki never gave up on me. [Neither did Yagari or Kaito. Yuuki is something else, though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe so, but you weren't doing so out of obligation at all. Nor did take pity. You've always been so unconditional. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-07-03 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ . . . ] I felt similar to you. In the beginning, under the circumstances that had brought you to the chairman, I thought we both... could relate. I just wanted to help and to draw close to the person I felt probably understood what it was like to be in my own position. [Even if it was different for the two of them.] I thought we were alike.

	[To think that in the end it had been a great deal of tragedy that had brought them together in the first place. More so, the fact that he honestly wouldn't change much at all even if he could turn back time.] . . .I'm sorry how I was back then, and the way I treated you. [It's almost painful to think about.] I know things weren't easy for you either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
