Shopping District

[So. Things are still super weird. Everything about this colony and everything he’s learned over the last couple of days has been very strange to him, not to mention stressful.

Initially when he woke up a few days later shivering he had assumed maybe he was sick. Not that that had mattered. He burrowed further in his blankets and that was that…except that it wasn’t. Everything felt cold, even Baymax activating his internal heater did nothing for him.

So he left. He took off, taking his robot on the train with him and headed for the shopping district. Over the course of the day he’s wandering with Baymax, occasionally burying himself further and further into piles of clothing. Sorry if he startles you by being there.

On the other hand, taking Baymax anywhere is always a hassle. When Hiro’s not trying to warm up, he’s chasing after the robot, occasionally bumping into people.]

Baymax! Wait! [Baymax might not be fast, but it’s easy to get separated from him. Heads up, he’s not at all watching where he’s running. He might just run right into you…or through you. Or through a building. Well that’s not normal, is it? Who knows where he’ll end up.]

CERES Game Center

[Being nearly invisible is kinda bad. He’s almost completely faded by the time he makes his way to the CERES game center with Baymax at his side. The robot and invisible-boy are blocking the entrance to ViViD today due to the fact that Hiro’s sitting just outside of it scowling at it, moving around the system to try and figure it out without going inside. If he sees someone passing by though or even approaching to play, he’ll catch their attention, trying to grab them by the arm and phasing right through.]

Hey, I have a question for you.

Game Center

[keep_hope_alive]

[So he was pretty much pushed into a world of darkness, not the usual figurative darkness, but literally. He's not happy about the fact that something or someone made him not able to see light or anything that emits it, making him run into several street posts, robots, or anything and anyone who's has something glowing on them.

Though his other senses are still functioning, and if anything, they've gotten a little better to compensate so before Hiro could even speak, Richter's already turned to face him. He didn't feel anyone touch him perse, but he was able to feel someones presence reach out to him.]

Woah. Kid you okay?

[zerotohiro]

[He's blinking in surprise, mouth open to pose the question but not getting very far before Richter speaks himself. Baymax is standing guard and Hiro's still leaning against the ViViD console (and hoping he won't phase right through it. Again.)]

"Okay" is sort of a relative term in this place, don't you think?

[keep_hope_alive]

[He's not sure if he's being a smart ass or just as freaked out as him and finding ways to cope.]

Kid. You are...are...transparent.

[Very good use of vocabulary Richter.]

Shopping District

[leashed_hunter]

[It shouldn't be a surprise to run into someone in a crowd but what he wasn't expecting was to run into someone half his size. His hands instinctively move to steady him as he looks down.

He's been having trouble seeing a few things lately and if Hiro has any form of green on him Zero isn't going to be able to see him at all.]

[zerotohiro]

[Sadly for Zero, Hiro chose a green t-shirt today to wear under his sweater but he doesn't know this is going to be a problem. All he recognizes is a hand steadying him suddenly and he bounces back, regaining balance as he keeps his eyes open for where Baymax is going.]

Sorry! I--["Am getting sort of used to phasing through people?" That doesn't seem like a good excuse.] I'm trying to keep up with somebody, I didn't see you there.

[leashed_hunter]

[Zero blinks, his gaze staring right through him. What the---Oh no.]

Not again.

[He rubs the back of his head. Not this again. It had been the same with Ishtar now some random stranger that sounded like a kid. His eyes fall eyes fall a foot above his head where he guessed the kid's head was.]

It's fine. I can't see you at all.

Shopping District

[otoko]

[Walking through someone to try and reach Baymax is one thing.

...But what about Baymax walking through someone else? Gongenzaka needless to say, sputters when the large balloon-like robot accidentally passes through his arm, and the entire motion is so obvious that one or the other of the two is bound to pause.

At the very least, if Baymax asks the man what's wrong, it'll buy Hiro time to catch up.]

[zerotohiro]

[It's definitely enough to cause Baymax to pause, turning his head toward Gongenzaka to scan him briefly.]

Hello. I am Baymax. What seems to be the trouble? You appear to be distressed.

[It does, in fact, buy Hiro enough time to catch up and he almost bodily collides with the nursebot.] Baymax, you can't disappear like that. [Not until Hiro knows all of the shortcuts. It's then he realizes they aren't alone...and he just blinks. And stares up at Gongenzaka. Annnnd the awkward grin appears.]

...hey. Uh. Sorry about that...it's sort of his job to examine everybody.

[otoko]

AUH-- [HELLO...BAYMAX.] N-Nothing that can be fixed, I assure you--

[As he starts to attempt at some explanation of the recent ghostly issues, Hiro comes over, and Gongenzaka blinks down to the other.] Auhhh...no, no, it's fine! Admittedly, he isn't entirely wrong about the distress...

[He coughs a bit awkwardly.] All the same, I, the man Gongenzaka, have a feeling that the glitches of this city are not within his power to repair...

[Ow. And wow that is some archaic speech pal.]

shopping district!!! IT'S BEEN SO LONG

[coruscanti]

[ Anakin Solo is feeling the same sort of effects, though he's mostly been trying to ignore it for the time being. It's something he can't fix with the Force, which is...troubling. To say the least. Not that he's a healer by any means, but simple first aid is something he can do, and calling up heat? That's a padawan trick.

Except it apparently isn't at the moment, and if it weren't for the fact that Tahiri's gone and his father seems to be having vision problems, Anaakin might be more concerned about himself, but he's always found it easier to worry about others first. And no matter what the issue, he's never been able to sit still. He's more at ease doing something to try to solve things, or at least being useful in a different direction.

So he's heading into the shop, because he can work there without distraction...mostly. It's a little distracting when a boy maybe two or three years younger than him stumbles through Fiver, who had been leading the way ahead of Anakin as they moved on, and the droid immediately whistles his furious disapproval of the whole being walked through thing. Anakin's wrist-comm beeps, several times, and he glances down at the translation almost absently. ]

Whoa, Fiver, I doubt he meant anything by it. [ He's more concerned about the boy than the droid at the moment; that wasn't a Jedi trick, it was...something else. Anakin's felt himself fading away a time or two so far during the day, and he hasn't liked it in the least. One hand falls to his lightsaber clipped to his belt in a sort of compulsive gesture to draw comfort, even as he frowns over at Hiro.

No accusation or anger, just concern. ]

Need any help catching up with "Baymax"?

IT HAS, AND IM SORRY THIS IS SO LATE!!!

[zerotohiro]

[Running through people and buildings had been strange enough, but this is the first time he's ran through an actual machine. Fiver might be furious but Hiro's mostly baffled, stumbling to a halt when the little droid seems to be scolding him. He's keeping an eye on Baymax to make sure he doesn't get too far (or, you know, hauled off by aliens) but his attention shifts first to Fiver and then to Anakin himself. He'll ask questions in a moment. He really, really needs to catch up.]

He likes to wander off sometimes. We haven't been around long enough to know where everything in this district is. [There's a slightly sheepish grin, something that says this definitely isn't the first time Baymax has disappeared by himself and he nods, gesturing for Anakin to follow.] Your bot's mad at me, isn't he?

i'm even later.........school killed me for an age

[coruscanti]

A little bit, but he'll get over it. [ Anakin laughs a little, flashing his wrist device towards Hiro. There's a little droid tirade there, easy enough to read, although Anakin's clearly not too concerned - Fiver will calm down quick. ]

His personality has been getting more feisty lately, sorry about that.

[psycholawgy]

[ athena's been hearing this song about death for a few days now, and it's definitely getting on her nerves. she looks absolutely tired, but has always made it a point to train in vivid, so she's on her way there. it's before she enters that she spots hiro before he can even talk to her. ]

Woah! Hey, you're back!

[ and she looks at baymax, poking the robot's belly with a finger. ]

And the nurse too!

[zerotohiro]

[Baymax doesn't seem to mind Athena poking at him (probably used to Hiro doing the same) and instead waves and greets her with a Hello. Hiro on the other hand is giving her a very perplexed look. He'd heard from Mary that he was here once before, but...this is the second time he's heard it and now he's wondering if it's really true.]

We really were here before? You're sure?

[psycholawgy]

Yeah, definitely! We even rode a rollercoaster together.

[ she gives him a peace sign before placing her hands on her hips. ]

But it wasn't the fun kind. It was when you arrived, too. We got hurt afterwards.

It's February now, but the last time I saw you was some time in December.

Shopping District

[reprizesal]

[Surprisingly or not, the person Hiro ran right into is a short young boy (shorter than Hiro, even!) in blue. Sayo stumbles backward, before he manage to regain his balance and gives Hiro an displeased stare.]

...Watch where you are going.

[zerotohiro]

[Sorry Sayo, Hiro's just going to return the look with a displeased stare of his own. Buddy. This is not his fault.]

Sorry, kinda busy here. [So much, in fact, that he's looking over Sayo's shoulder to see if he can spot how far Baymax has gone.] You're okay right? [No damages thanks to Hiro bumping into him, he means.]

shopping district + wildcard/cr meme stuff??

[overgrowth]

[ something hitting his back makes kanda turn around quickly, but it's seeing a large white... thing that he's never seen makes him jump a step into the road. a speeding bike clips his hand, and though he jerks aside, his wrist still bends at an awkward angle. ]

Shit. [ ow. he shakes it off—literally, because as he shakes the pain out of his hand it straightens back out, bruises appearing and already fading. ]

[zerotohiro]

[Baymax is already concerned, pausing and causing Hiro to slam right into him, too. (Which is better than phasing right through him as he has been lately.) He had seen Kanda get clipped and he moved even faster to join them, eyes already moving toward the other guy's hand.]

Dude, are you okay? [By the time he reaches Kanda though, his wrist is straightened out and...everything looks normal? Wait a second.] ...I just saw you get hit by a bike, right? I'm not making things up. [He shakes his head.] Baymax, scan him.

shopping district;

[bropane]

[ he's been feeling pretty cold lately, which is why he's been wearing his jacket over his cardigan lately. it's normal tadashi, but not normal for somebody who sees him quite often in cerealia, since he's gotten comfortable with just a shirt and his cardigan lately. THIS ISN'T EVEN IMPORTANT why am i putting this here— anyway, it started out that way, but during work, things have gotten a bit weird in that he's started to grow translucent. which, you know, isn't cool at all.

and he's on his way back after shopping for groceries - it was a quick run - that he hears his brother shouting for baymax. he looks at demo who's also been acting weird lately, but is still sensible enough to work, at least! he called demo over from his apartment since he was feeling tired and needed some help in carrying some things, etc. it also helps to have a nurse dog around. so, yeah, they're chasing after hiro who is chasing after baymax, now. ]

Hiro, hold up! [ he probably can't talk that loud since he's working at 60%, so demo runs faster than tadashi does, barking at him and calling his name. ]

Hiro, Hiro! Please wait!

[zerotohiro]

[He barely hears Tadashi and writes it off as his imagination, but it's harder to ignore Demo behind him and he turns his head to look. The trouble is that he doesn't stop running because if he stops he'll lose Baymax.]

I have to catch Baymax! [Damn robot and his tendency to wander after anything he finds interesting. (Never mind that he probably learned the habit from a certain boy genius.) He's still not watching his path though because suddenly there's crowd of people right in front of him--

--but he phases right through them, too. It's enough to get him to stop and there's a distressed sort of yell as he holds up his hands to his eyes to examine them. Baymax hears the yell though, thankfully, and it's enough to redirect his attention back to his patient.]

Hiro. [He waddles back just about the time Demo catches up with them. So now he's pretty transparent and he's surrounded by robots. Great. That's cool. This is fine.]

You can't wander by yourself like that! Are you crazy? [It's a lecture that Tadashi's probably given Hiro himself in his younger years, but he doesn't recognize it.] Demo, where's Tadashi? [Because Tadashi's still moving slower than usual and Hiro hasn't looked back since they stopped.]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei practically jumps when she feels something pass through her arm, her hands immediately going into her pocket and reaching for a piece of paper. She skips back, away from whatever it is and glowers at what she...assumes...is a spirit of sorts.]

Then ask it, but don't come too close, spirit.

[Overly cautious? Maybe. But after years of trouble with aliens and magical monsters and then all the glitches around here lately? she cannot be too cautious.]

[zerotohiro]

[He's mildly offended by the idea of being called a spirit, but then again...how else can he explain what's happened. The expression doesn't make him feel any better though and he actually narrows his eyes right back.]

Hello. [Baymax feels the need to at least be polite, a circular wave directed at Rei before Hiro can speak up.]

I'm not a spirit. That's kind of the problem. [He gestures to the ViViD console behind him.] Does this thing have side effects very often?

B-ish aka wildcard

[2cool4guardian]

[Jack is, to put it simply, avoiding the hell out of most people. He doesn't feel like being walked through again, thank you, and Hiccup has said things will be back to normal in a few days so... he could do with some me time, to be honest.

But it doesn't last long, he just needs to check on the kids. He doesn't say hi or anything, just stays hidden on a tree, watching with a smile... until he hears those squeaky steps. Someone still manages to find him? Or more like, something. He isn't sure.]

You aren't here to sale tires, are you?

[zerotohiro]

[Baymax, for whatever reason, has decided that Jack is in fact his new patient. He's waddling toward him and it doesn't even escape him that perhaps this isn't normal. He stops at the base of the tree and looks up at the winter spirit, waving his hand at him.]

I am here to help. Will tires assist you in escaping this tree? [So no. Sorry Jack, the reference goes right over the robot's head. At least before Jack can answer Hiro's skidding to a halt right behind Baymax. Ah. Correction. Right through Baymax, actually. Buddy, what did he say about standing guard?]

What're you looking at, buddy? [Hiro peers up into the tree, eyes widening a bit when he realizes who's there.] Oh, hey. [A tilt of the head.] Why're you spying on people?
