[itsuki will wave back, even as the BUBBLE forms AROUND THEM... bubble for bubblegum...]
[timestamp: up to 7:22. it's basically itsuki getting into a space ship im in tears.
in this one Itsuki is the one who is found and escorted, the blond haired boy is friendly, the blue-haired one rebuffs any attempt at conversation. neither seem interested in giving you a tour, they tell you to wait until 'Masamune' comes, and you smile back and say 'sure', but then you're off because you're on a ship that flies in the sky, and there's no way you're going to just stand here patiently.
to 8:35. (THERE'S A WHOLE FOREST IN THIS SPACE SHIP) the place is massive, there are orchards, waterfalls, even a lake and a river. there are buildings in the distance, and when you look up you can see the clear sky. you feel a little grubby in all this splendor, there's dirt on your face and your clothes are threadbare in all the wrong places, but... the longer you look around, the quicker your sense of novelty wears off. everything that looks fresh and new looks.... familiar. normal. so what if you're a ship? there must be ships like this out there. it's not that weird.]
(GREETINGS!)
[you look down and you see the chick dressed in a little maid outfit staring up at you. it holds out one feathery wing, as if waiting for you to shake it. you have no idea what's going, what is this? and why can you understand it? it's...
it's so.... your thoughts are rearranging slowly -- your earlier shock is rapidly vanishing, you're realizing how cute this creature is... and why can't baby chicks wear clothes? they should be able to do whatever they want? it's not that strange. nothing about this place is strange. you're safe here, you can trust it, there's no where else to go now -- this is the only place you belong.
you place the wing in your hand. where there were questions, there is nothing but certainty, and you allow yourself to be led into your new home.]
There was an orchard and a waterfall and gardens, but only nine bedrooms... and there were eleven of us on that ship. We were picked up for this special purpose, but there wasn't even enough room for all of us to be there.
We all doubled up to avoid leaving anyone out, but... I guess that means some of us weren't supposed to be there? It's hard to tell because we all kept our powers secret from each other.

Wow.
[ she is trying to formulate literally any kind of thought right now. ]
no subject
That's not how I remember that...
[because he was being BRAINWASHED but it's fine]
no subject
[ hm.
she taps her chin. ]
And how do you... remember it...?
no subject
Well... I remember it being really normal? Like, why shouldn't this happen? But now that I look back on it...
...
It's kind of... weird.
no subject
I think your mind got messed with, dude.
no subject
You mean like, brainwashing....?
no subject
You need to probably look into that. Who knows how many lies are in your head right now?
no subject
First the tattoo, now this... Maybe I just shouldn't go back to the ship.
no subject
[ love interests to woo? ]
no subject
Kind of? I was supposed to be a peace offering for another country, but maybe I was going somewhere completely different.
I don't think the situation's so serious that they'll miss me...

[ interesting... ]
The room situation. How did it work? Did some people double up?
no subject
he nods]
A lot of us weren't happy, but what can you do? It never occurred to us that we could just leave.
...Is it possible to even know if your mind is being messed with? You'd have to like -- experience a strong shock or something, right?
no subject
[ hmm hmmmm ]
Like, back to the room thing. Who were the people stuck without rooms?
no subject
no subject
Did for some reason anyone seem a little different than the others?
no subject
no subject
Probably the brainwashing.
no subject
...This really doesn't make me want to go back.
no subject
Maybe you don't have to?
