a - around and about

[Everything was going fine for Ruby at first. Slowly but surely, though, things started to go downhill. Which is why she's bolting right up to you, eyes wide and expression distressed, and--]

Have you seen a red hood and cloak? It's really important to me, and I don't know how I lost it, but suddenly it was just gone.

[She's wearing it.

Right now, it's around her neck, there's no mistaking it.

But she doesn't seem like she's joking.....]

b - entertainment district

[As the days drag on, things just get even worse...... which is why Ruby's just minding her own business, trotting on forward, when she trips over a red and black motorcycle that she didn't even see in the street.

She tumbles into the street face first (ow), and then one of the helpful NPC androids tries to drag her out of the street, but that happens to be wearing a red uniform, and she stares in absolutely horror at it.]

Floating robot head--ack!

[Trying to stagger away from it leads to her crashing into a hot dog stand with a--you guessed it--red stand and sign.

Wow what a bad day.]

[ Here is your sister. Your sister, who is huddled under six blankets and shivering, but still managing to look skeptical. ]

... Oh, I don't know, maybe it's still hanging off your neck?

a.

[dragonizing]

[ .... ruby's lucky she seems like a young, unassuming girl, because masamune could probably be a whole lot worse about this.

as it stands right now, there's just one eye's gaze: to ruby, to the cape, to ruby. ]

That some joke?

[ hello engrish, hello not getting it. ]

[masakados]

[Naoki's wincing as he watches from a distance, watching poor Ruby go crashing into that hot dog stand... Okay. He moves to hurry closer to her (luckily not a bit of red on him).]

Ruby, here, gimme your hand.

[He'll help her up. Poor kid. Of course, he might startle the second he touches her to find her cold but you know.]

b

[impheired]

Woah! [He moves out of the way of the umbrella as Ruby goes crashing into the hot dog cart, barely managing not to get hit by it. He's been having some trouble with his sight as well lately, though not nearly as much as this girl seems to be having.] You okay?

[Luckily, he's not really big on color so she shouldn't have a problem with seeing him.]

Says the girl that is pretty much entirely invisible at the moment.

[Archer is pretty sure he can't see things that are black. Fortunately, he's a bit quicker on the uptake than some people.

But considering Archer is almost always engulfed by his red cloak, Ruby might be in bad shape here.]

[undaunts]

[????]

Yang, I'm serious, this is serious! Stop kidding around!

[She says, with the cloak still attached.]

And... uh. Do you have enough blankets...? [is it really that cold...]

[undaunts]

[Hello engrish, hello confusion...]

Hey, mister one-eyed and actually pretty scary-cool looking guy! Have you seen a red-hooded cape anywhere?

[look, she's frantic here.]

[undaunts]

[At least she can see Naoki, that helps... she takes that hand with relief, though she pauses as soon as he's pulled her up.]

... Hey, Naoki, were you holding onto a handful of ice cubes before you helped me up?

[why would he do that]

[flaredo]

No, [ she says, emphatically. ] Did we break the thermostat or something? It's freezing.

[ But she'll free out a hand and beckon. C'mere. ]

[undaunts]

[Thank god, here's someone who actually looks normal and not like a floating head.... such things can't be taken for granted, she's finding out now.

She sits up slowly, rubbing her head, and squints up at him.]

Ugh... yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for checking up on me!

[A beat.]

And thanks for not wearing red! Which...sounds weird to say, because it's my favorite color, but...

[undaunts]

I'm totally visible, you're the invisible one!

[This is a mature argument to be had.]

You're like a floating head and...hands! And things!

[undaunts]

No, I don't think so... It feels fine to me!

[But okay okay, she's coming closer, sister dear.]

And usually I get colder quicker than you do...

[flaredo]

Geez, I better not be getting sick... [ But she reaches for Ruby's sleeve, to guide and nudge her hand against the fabric of her cape. HEY, FEEL THAT? ]

[undaunts]

[She opens her mouth to respond, but then there's that cape.

Whoa.

Whoaaaaaaaaa.]

Whaaaaaaat. My cape turned invisible!

[flaredo]

Ruby. It's kind of still totally red and visible.

[ LITTLE SIS, ARE YOU OKAY ]

[undaunts]

No it's not, I can't see it at all!

I can feel it, but it's definitely not red!

[???

no, everything is not okay]

[dragonizing]

[ wow, that description. he's almost flattered. almost. if he didn't feel like this was all some kind of elaborate joke, anyway, except this situation is sounding a bit familiar....

if this is "people can't see things that are right in front of them" again he's going to. well. not do much.]

Date Masamune.

[ as nice as mister one-eyed and actually pretty scary-cool looking guy sounds... minus the scary part. gaze again to the cape on ruby's back, gaze back to ruby-- ]

Where'd you put it last?

[ "lord masamune, no," says spiritual kojuro. ]

[flaredo]

... But I can see it? Are your eyes okay??

[ WHAT NOW ]

[undaunts]

Gazundheit.

[right, anyway, where was she--]

I was wearing it, but then I looked over my shoulder and it was gone! Like it just disappeared!

[weird right]

[undaunts]

Yes! No? I don't know!

[SHE DOESN'T KNOW]

I can see you fine, but I can't see my cape at all!

[dragonizing]

[ that's





a complicated as fuck name. gazu what? okay, no, he's got practice with this shit he can say it so easy. ]

Hah, that so? Odd. [ .... ] Only thing left to do is retrace your steps then, Gazundheit. I'll tag along.

[ "lord masamune NO," says spiritual kojuro louder.

"ok i'll tell her soon," he parrots back. ]

[flaredo]

So it's... just your cape.

Is there some kind of sight problem that just deals with capes?

[ No, she's not serious. She sure is baffled, though. Baffled and shivering. ]

[swordboning]

Have you ever thought of getting your eyes checked? I'm sure they have a doctor somewhere.

[Even though he already admitted he was having a similar problem...]

[masakados]

My hand'd be wet if I did that.

[But Naoki takes a moment to glance down at his hand.

When she's up, he pulls his hand from hers and curls his fingers to press against his own palm. Everything's cold right now. He can't tell what's actually cold or not.]

...Are you cold or anything right now? [His voice is oddly quiet, reserved, but this is closer to his actual feelings than he normally lets show. It's Ruby, it should be fine.]

B

[keep_hope_alive]

[At the very least, she doesn't crash into said stand alone. Just his luck to be having lunch when a little girl crashes into him and the cart. At least she lands on someone relatively soft right?]

....owwww....why me?...

[Who knew hotdog carts were so solid and little girls so heavy.]

What happened?

[Hey look who's face is no covered with ketchup.]
