[So Cerealia's falling apart, weather's invaded the city, Mosley's a robot, Naki's friends went on a murder spree while he was holed up in his room, etc etc....he's tired. He's not entirely sure why he's tired, after a week of doing nothing but mope (emotional exhaustion is still a foreign thing), but. What he knows is that he should get up, go out, do something, stop lying around. Maybe find something to cheer up the others? What would Ichi-nii like....]

around town

[Naki's in his favorite fox coat, with a matching whiskered face mask, peeking in at various shops in the shopping district. Picking out a notepad at the stationary store! Perusing the snack aisle at...some place that sells snacks! Trying on a scary mask at a costume shop! Staring curiously at a toy store display of plastic jumping beans! Getting ushered out of a store with a NO PETS sign on the door!

Why.....]

But I'm not a pet...! [whines the fox around his neck, as he stares perplexedly at the door.]

[wild card? Shopping aside, he can also be found wandering around the gardens, feeding a carrot to the horse near the dojo, sitting by the street somewhere just watching people walk by...playing rhythm games on his cerevice, maybe.]

[oncealifetime]

[Ichigo is out exploring the shopping district when he sees a familiar face, so he goes over to greet him.]

Oji-ue! Are you gathering supplies too?

[yaayaa]

[Ah, it's Ichi-nii. Naki looks up from the display he'd been staring at (it's a bakery window this time), giving Ichigo a....well no, he doesn't actually show any sort of acknowledgement besides turning to face him, but.]

Hello there! And yes, you could say we're doing that, in a way.

[oncealifetime]

In a way? [He turns to look into the display window.] Are you planning to get a cake? That strawberry one looks quite delicious!

[yaayaa]

[GASP how did he know!! Naki's eyes widen almost imperceptibly for half a second, before--he nods, slightly.]

It does look tasty, doesn't it? Nakigitsune was thinking of getting something for everyone to share, actually...would a cake have your approval?

[mombastic]

[ As busy as things have gotten, Otome's still determined to take time and... well, not literally smell the roses, but there sure are a bunch of other non-lethal flowers here, so she's enjoying a walk around the gardens. Until she catches sight of a familiar face. ]

... Ah. You're...

[ ... had she ever learned his name? ]

[yaayaa]

[...Ah, it's--he doesn't remember her name either, but she certainly looks familiar.





Raising a hand! In greeting!]

It's a pleasure to see you again! In a much more agreeable setting, as well.

[mombastic]

I agree. How have the two of you been?

[ Well, considering one's not rusted to pieces... ]

[aslyfox]

[ With Nakigitsune's attention squarely focused on his Cerevice, it's up to Kogitsunemaru to stroll over and watch over his shoulder... it's a rhythm game! It's a very interesting one, with little sheep waving pom-poms and sparkling with every tap. ]

... ah, what's this called?

[ Honestly, all Kogi's done with his is look up and save pictures of foxes and tofu. ]

[yaayaa]

[Rhythm games are distracting...he actually didn't notice Kogi come up? Which means the question causes him to jump and miss a note. Oh no, one of the pom-pom sheep just tripped!]

....Pompom Bleat Master.

[Can he save his score...no he's pausing it.]

[aslyfox]

[ It looks like a very pure game! Even when it falls, the fluffy sheep still looks cheerful but also angry at Kogi? Why is it staring at him like that through the pause screen? It's kicking back with its hind legs and blowing a raspberry! ]

Hm. So you tap the little sheep in time while dodging the... are those wolves?

[ Kogi can spot the obvious non-sheep! They wear little bibs and hold utensils?! ]

[gravesite]

[ ah, poor naki... being ushered out of the jumping bean toy store for trying to bring his fox inside. but tsurumaru actually arrives a few minutes after naki's been kicked out — so all he really understands of the current situation is that naki's standing right outside the shop door for no reason at all... with the saddest expression on his face.

at least, he seems kind of sad? it's hard to tell, under that whiskered fox mask! ]

Ooh, Naki! It's surprising, running into you here.

[ and then he tilts his head to the side, just a bit. ]

What are you standing outside for?

[yaayaa]

Ah, Tsurumaru-dono...

[he's got the saddest invisible expression on his face....naki turns to look at tsuru though, then slowly turns back to the door and...points. at the sign.]

[gravesite]

[ oh no... tsurumaru isn't going to stand there and let his kouhai stand sadly in front of the toy store! he figures that he can just stuff smallest fox into the mysterious compartments of his puffy white jacket, but just to be safe, he'll ask, ever so innocently: ]

Mister fox, how much air do you need? [ aka. will it suffocate in tsuru's jacket, but shh... it doesn't know yet. ] You're also a spirit with Naki, aren't you?

[good_ideas]

[Shiho was just about to walk into the snack shop for chocolate (lots and lots of chocolate: presents for the people she's sure she inevitably hurt while under the influence of the emotions) when Naki gets pushed out the door.]

No...

[Oh, because of the fox.]

Hm. [After a pause and a quirk of her mouth, she gives him a smile.] Come on.

[They're going right back in because wow, no one is going to kick Naki and his fox-friend out on her watch.]

[yaayaa]

[Oh look, it's Shiho! And--]

?

[Is he supposed to follow her? But they kicked him out...but it's Shiho? He stands there for a moment, unsure what to do, before giving in and hurrying after her. What's she gonna do! Naki has no idea, but she has his full trust!]

[good_ideas]

[He's totally supposed to follow, which is why she pauses at the door to wait for him until he hurries after her. Once in, the shopkeeper gives them an entirely unimpressed look which Shiho...

...completely ignores. Instead, she gives him a brilliant smile:]

Do you have any fox-themed snacks?

around town!

[adornmental]

[Is he even supposed to be off house arrest? WHO KNOWS, but he's here anyway, hello... Here in a costume store to stare at Naki's spooky mask as he tries it on.]

You wanna actually get something like that?

[Or is he just trying it on for fun?? A mystery. Either way, Kashuu has no room to judge with his stupid burglar mask thing and all.]

[yaayaa]

[Kashuu why are you skipping out on house arrest...not that he knows you're under house arrest? He might've missed that little detail.

Which means he--well you can't see his lack of reaction anyway, considering the spooky mask is still on when he turns to look at you, but.]

.................Should I?

[He wasn't thinking of buying it, before. He just wanted to try it on?]

[adornmental]

[HE NEEDS TO BE FREE!! And to apologize to people, mostly, but BEING FREE!! That's what's most important, clearly.]

...Well, d'you like it?

[He's here to encourage people to dip their toes into fashion!! But not questionable fashion...]

[Should Naki happen to be wandering around, he might see a familiar face. After all, it was pretty difficult to look away when a young girl had piles of yarn all around her! As she sat on a bench in the middle of the gardens, she had a very determined look on her face!

Why did she had so much yarn all around her? Who knows, maybe Naki wants to find out why?]

[yaayaa]

[Naki does indeed see a familiar face! Or a familiar yarn pile...he's curious. Moving closer!]

May we ask what you're doing? This seems like quite a lot of yarn for a single park bench.

[meowbel]

[The moment that Mabel heard a voice, she couldn't help but give a huge grin! While Naki certainly looks familiar, there was another reason why she was so happy!]

Do you really want to know? Because...! [With that, her voice suddenly went into a low whisper!] It something super secret and I don't want anyone to know!

Gardens?!

[heiwana]

[ Kousetsu has been diligent in working within the gardens, after all the craziness he needs some semblenece of normalcy again. The one place he defer to is the gardens. It's peaceful and quiet and it allows him to meditate and think. So when he happens upon Naki he will give him a brief nod. ]

Nakigitsune-san, what has brought you here today?

!?!?!?

[yaayaa]

[Oh look, it's Kousetsu! Good ol' trusty Kousetsu. Naki returns the nod with a nod of his own, then turns his gaze out to the nearby flowers.]

Nakigitsune is simply enjoying the scenery! This is a wonderful place to relax, don't you agree?

[heiwana]

...yes. I often come here to...find peace. [ Especially after everything that happened these last couple of weeks. Kousetsu definitely needs to recharge his zen. ]

Is everything alright with you Nakigitsune-san? Last week was...very trying for many of us. [ Kousetsu is here to led an ear. ]
