First Acorn

[underboobs]

[Action A: 1248 Williams Road]

[Makoto was really comfortable in bed for a little while there, not really realizing that she shouldn't even be in a bed. And as she rose from the bed, she didn't really catch onto that fact until she was hanging her legs over the edge of the bed and was rubbing her eyes. Yeah, that was when she realized something was fishy about her surroundings. Once she got her bearings, she would have panicked about it if she didn't know better than that.

So, she moves to stand up and walk around a bit to investigate, when she realized that her balance felt waaaay off. Almost like her tail was--] Huh!? [Now she was going to panic and kind of yell in the horror of missing her tail.]

[Action B: John Doe Park]

[After getting the gist of what was going on around this place, Makoto didn't really want to stay cooped up in the house trying to figure out what to do. A good walk never hurt anyone, and maybe she'd come up with some sort of idea of how to fix the situation she got herself stuck with. Not that much was coming to mind. So there she was, just wandering through the park aimlessly, looking pretty down.

Half of that was that she definitely didn't ask to be human.]

[Phone]

[It's not until way later that she attempts to use the phone. This definitely isn't the first time that Makoto's been exposed to a phone like this, but it's definitely one of the first times she's had to use one. And she is probably going to end up making this as awkward as possible because of it.]

Uh... Am I doing this right? Pretty sure I am, I think! Heeeeelloooooo?

[She's still kind of bothered by the whole human thing to bother with trying to be all official and professional. Or say much of anything else right now.]

phone

[silpheed]

Yes, you are using this device correctly. I would congratulate you if not for how insufferably ridiculous one must be to use a phone to simply ask if they are using it properly. [Though this voice is vaguely familiar... She'll figure it out in a second okok.]

phone

[underboobs]

Hey! It was my first time using this, so I had to be sure! You don't have to be a jerk about it! [The voice and manner of speech are pretty familiar to Makoto too, but she can't quite place it.]

[silpheed]

I see nothing "jerk"-like in what I just said; it was simply the truth.

[keep_smiling]

If you mean talking on the phone, well, so far so good!

[underboobs]

Geez, that's a relief. I dunno what I'd do if I messed something like this up. Thought I did for a minute there.

[keep_smiling]

The telephone is quite easy, really, though it's strange how the operator seems to calla lot of people at once for you. Then again, I was surprised I actually did get an operator. Thought they were doing away with those.

B

[donttellmetheodds]

[Helping people. That sounded like a good plan and the Jedi thing to do. And this person looked like they needed some help.]

Hey....you seem a little lost.

[underboobs]

[Makoto, being kind of lost in her thoughts, almost jumped when spoken to. She wasn't expecting anyone to stop and talk to her, but it wasn't unwelcome. She gives a bit of a soft smile.]

Yeah, guess you could say something like that.

[donttellmetheodds]

Something like that? How do you get somewhat lost?

B; lets do this.

[duodecim]

[Tsubaki knows your feels, Makoto. Just today she woke up in the bed of a stranger and has no idea where she was. It didn't even look like Kagutsuchi, or any place she had ever been. No cities built on levels, so much clean air -- it was bizarre.

So now she's here in the park too, sitting down on a bench. She sees Makoto from afar, but doesn't even recognize who she is. So, she says nothing, and keeps herself sitting still and trying to keep calm.]

let's!!!!

[underboobs]

[Makoto was more than happy trying to ignore anyone she passed while going through the park, trying to keep to herself as she tried figuring out what to do about the whole situation. It wasn't a pleasant one, and she was suddenly human. It's kind of like having your identity taken from you, in a way.

But as much as she tried to ignore those around her, she couldn't really ignore that familiar red hair in the distance. And when she spots who that hair belongs to, she can't keep quiet about it.] Tsubaki!?

[duodecim]

[For a moment, Tsubaki thinks she's hallucinating. She opens her eyes and, knowing it's Makoto's voice, darts her eyes around to find her friend. It takes her a moment to realize that the girl with brown hair from not too far away is actually Makoto. ...A very tail-less Makoto.]

Ma...Makoto? [She stands up from the bench.] Makoto, is that you?!

[phone]

[heavenfang]

Um... hey? How are things?

You must be new...

[phone]

[underboobs]

Eh... could be better.

Is it that obvious? [Not that acting like she couldn't use the phone properly being a good hint or anything.]

[phone]

[heavenfang]

It is, but it's okay. We're all new once.

The name's Tir. I bet you've got questions. Maybe I can help?

[ phone ]

[imoutos]

... [ There's a pause on this side of the line, enough to make one think there's no one there, but.. then a young girl slowly and hesitantly - definitely shyly, at least - speaks up. ]

U-um.. hello..?

[ phone ]

[underboobs]

[Makoto was just about to move on before hearing that voice, and she almost makes a surprised gasp. She's still getting the hang of this whole phone business.]

O-Oh! Hi there! [...] Who's this?

[phone]

[swordwaitress]

Oh my, are you new to using a phone?

[phone]

[underboobs]

Uhhh... kinda? This phone's really old where I come from.

Action A

[idkmybfforin]

[There's a big ol' bird sitting on top of the dresser over here to the side of the room. An easily missed thing, since she was being quiet, but she can't help but crack her ted eyes open after awhile to investigate the sound.]

You're being noisy.

[Other than...apparently talking, being a bit larger than one would expect of a raven and having a virulent red slit-pupiled eye the size of a tennis ball glaring out of her chest, a perfectly normal bird. Yep.]

[underboobs]

[Oh, did someone just call Makoto noisy? That's not going to sit too well with her, given the situation she just went and found herself in. She wants-- no, she needs her tail back. Her butt felt incomplete without it.]

Of course I am! What else am I supposed to-- [Which is when she looks over to see a raven. A pretty weird looking one, too.

She could have sworn that it was the one talking.] Ooookay, Makoto. You're hearing things now.

[grumpiest_tree]

[Groot is sitting on the park bench, merely basking in the sun. The weather has been rather nice lately, so he thought he would enjoy the sun. Of course enjoy it is all he can do since he no longer has chloroplasts, but c'est la vie.

And then someone passes him momentarily interrupting his thoughts. He watches them walk on by before speaking up.]

Are you all right, miss? You don't seem too happy.

[underboobs]

Huh? [The sudden intrusion of wallowing in her sorrow was broken by the voice, turning her attention to Groot. She blinks for a moment, realizing that she was asked if she was all right.]

Oh! I guess... not really?

[italktomyplants]

We can hear you.

[underboobs]

That's a relief. I thought I was gonna have to do something special I didn't know about to use this phone.
