you've been acting awful tough lately

[reassures]

Date & Time: The 8th, from 12pm - 3pm
Location: Outside town
Characters: Nill and YOU
Summary: Nill promised to meet an anonymous person on the network, and has decided to send smoke signals with cigarettes to find them. Also action spam.
Warnings: None! Will be updated if needed.

[It's a strange day that finds Nill smoking during daylight hours, but one way or another she's found herself doing exactly that. Small promises made and easy modes of identification, she supposes - she'll end up going through half a pack by the end of this, but it's worth it if she can actually manage to help the person she promised to help.

Even so, it's not difficult to tell that it's a strange sight, a blond girl bundled up, sitting on the trunk of a fallen tree beside one of the better-known ways to town, just... smoking. She doesn't appear to be going anywhere, apparently comfortable where she is, though she smiles at anyone that spares her a glance while they're on their way. She'll be there for most of the early afternoon, from noon to about three, and will welcome anyone that feels like sitting with her.

Hopefully it won't decide to snow while she's sitting there. It's cold enough out as it is, and a new layer isn't going to make her stay terribly pleasant.]

[She's going to make a point to try to get him to smile like that more often. Seeing it now, and comparing it to the ones she's seen in the past... she likes this one much more.]

I promise to remember you, too-- and to make sure you remember you're a hero.

[duplicitoussight]

Even when you go home to your cute boyfriend~? He might get jealous, ku ku ku...

[reassures]

[She looks flustered for a second, but now that he mentions it...]

He would definitely be jealous. He was jealous once because I was making dinner with a friend.

[He was a guy friend who was plenty polite but still!!!!

And she totally did not deny the boyfriend thing just then.]

[duplicitoussight]

[Oh no. That's a mistake you'll regret Nill.]

Is that so, is that so... should I be hanging out with Nill like this at all, then? Your boyfriend might think I'm trying to steal your sweet heart away~!

[reassures]

[SHE REGRETS IT ALREADY. Her face goes red, and she a second she has no idea what to actually say. She doesn't want to argue against it, because is kind of her boyfriend, sort of. He'd come back for her, and she loved him. It was pretty close, right? she can't go into that with Kano though he'd never stop teasing her about it.

SUBJECT CHANGE? YES SUBJECT CHANGE SUBJECT CHANGE IS GOOD.]

Is it too late for me to be a member of the Dan?

[Please let that be enough of a distraction pretty please.]

1/2

[duplicitoussight]

Yup. Sorry, membership closed months ago.

[duplicitoussight]

[... he breaks into giggles.]

Did you believe me there for a moment? Honestly, honestly, we always have spots open. Nill's more than welcome to be our number fifteen.

[reassures]

[She doesn't know how Kano manages to do that. It's almost impressive. But as soon as he starts giggling, another smile breaks out across her face.

She'd forgotten about there being numbers. She remembers, vaguely, that when the members had first started showing up, that there were probably seven of them in their own world. They'd had membership open on the network of course, but to think that they'd almost doubled their ranks without even a moment of hesitation, and accepted so many people-- even her, who was probably one of the oldest members...

Nill really loved the children from the Mekakushi Dan, from the bottom of her heart.

And 15 sounds like a much better number than 3897981.]

Thank you. I promise I will do my best for you all.

[plus you know also the distraction worked that was pretty cool too.]

[duplicitoussight]

[It's a liar's secret.

Kano laughs freely at Nill's response. It was easier to recruit members here, where back home they had been little more than a small family that suddenly burst after their run-in with Momo. Truth be told, it was all beginning to feel much more like...

Home, right? Those warm red days they spent inside their small brick house, before summer had ended. The Dan's grown so large, so happy that he's almost afraid that it'll be gone when he peeks over his shoulder.]

Nill's done just fine as an unofficial member~ She'll do fine as a real member, too, as long as she helps with the chores!

[reassures]

[It felt that way to Nill a lot too. She doesn't feel completely at home in the mansion with the Dan, but it's a lot closer to it than she's had in a long time-- and she really does thrive best with people around than without.

She's afraid of it disappearing. She's sort of accepted that it will-- she knows there's a place she needs to get to and that the Dan members probably need to get back to their own worlds as well, complicated as they might be. She knows that, truly, she just... doesn't want it to happen now. Nill hopes beyond all hope that she'll get the chance to return to the port before the children from the Dan leave.]

I already help with the chores.

[It sounds a little teasing, but very gently so.]
