BBS | Text - The morning of Sharak's disappearance - OPEN

[lookingforhead]

[Celty doesn't remember it, but this isn't the first time she's woken up in the middle of a field with her horse checking on her. Shooter might remember it, perhaps, but it's a bit too complex a thought for him to share with her. And her present situation pushes the strange dreams and new memories she has out of her mind as she's presented with a more pressing concern.]

Has anyone seen Sharak? The temple of Aditi seems to be
um
missing


IF YOU SEE ANY WANDERING CHICKENS KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.

That's just like when Lightning-sama disappeared. That was before Maria-sama named me.

[... Yeah. She knows exactly what this feels like.]

I'm on my way to work now, but you can come find me anytime if you want, okay? I'll be off by lunch time anyway.

[That and her job involves standing outside of a store front in a cute outfit, so it wouldn't be hard to find her.]

[lookingforhead]

I might go ride around for a bit and let my thoughts settle. I feel better when I'm moving. Sitting here and worrying just makes me go in circles.

Where do you work?

[thirdbeauty]

It's in Japan, there's a sweets shop on a corner between some cafes.

[She gives more detailed directions, of course, about the specific location.]

I'm usually standing outside, so you can't miss me!

[lookingforhead]

Okay
I ride around there a lot so I should be able to find it

[Celty doesn't head directly over, but it's not terribly long after that, just a couple hours, that the black bike rolls up towards the shop. The rider offers her friend a wave while a shadow sling gently wriggles against her chest from the sleepy kitten inside.]

[thirdbeauty]

[The hours of work go by, with Natsuru not giving too much thought to Celty dropping by other than hoping she will. Her work is a decent enough distraction until the bike with a familiar helmeted figure rolls up.

Smiling brightly and dressed in an outfit Celty may or may not have seen her in before, Natsuru gives an excited wave back. It takes her a brief moment to find the chance to come over and say hi, and she curiously glances at the shadowy sling against Celty's chest.]

Hey! ... Are you carrying something with you?

At this point just assuming this conversation is after the towel video

[lookingforhead]

[It's thanks to her helmet being on that Natsuru doesn't see the way Celty blushes, the helmet keeping the shadows contained. But she shakes herself out of her surprise more quickly than that time with the towel and tugs the sling open to answer the question.

The kitten within squirms at the sudden light shining in, yawning and looking up blearily at Natsuru. 'Mew~']

[thirdbeauty]

[This is the girl you've befriended, Celty. Get used to her wearing cute and revealing outfits a lot, and being at least partially oblivious to the effect this has on others.

She watches curiously as the sling opens, and gasps upon seeing the small kitten.]

Ah-!

[It's the same one from the pictures Celty sent her! And he's so cute! She's overwhelmed for a second before she finally manages to speak.]

Is that Shinra-san?! Hello~!

[She's excited, but she keeps her voice down to keep from startling the poor kitten.]

[lookingforhead]

[Including those friends she had in life, Natsuru is by no means the oddest friend Celty has ever had. But the Dullahan herself will continue to be the easily flustered dork she's been thusfar. Her true comfort zones are pretty narrow in scope but she does and continues to do her best otherwise.

The kitten looks up blearily cooing girl above. Little Shinra leans up to sniff at Natsuru's briefly before twisting around and curling back into a more light resistant pretzel.]

[thirdbeauty]

Awwww!

[He sniffed at her! So cute! It looks like he's still sleepy though, so she'll try not to disturb him any more.]

He's so cute! Do you carry him around a lot?

[She's not currently thinking about the fact that Celty... kind of lost her temple recently. Kitten has successfully distracted her from that.]
