Sixteenth Suite♪

[tsunmuse]

[A. 7134 Brooks - Open]

[Ako woke up that morning, feeling off. Groggily, she got out of bed, reaching for her glasses and upon putting them on, looked at herself in the mirror and proclaimed,] What. The hell. Is going on.

[Patting herself down, she facepalmed.] Great. Great just great. Mayfield finally did it and I'm a girl now.

[Not one to over exaggerate her emotions, Ako got out of bed and shuddered as the cool air hit her bare legs. If he was going to be a girl, he may as well dress like a guy, right? Soon, Ako was trudging down in a pair of suspenders and a t-shirt, looking all the sullen in the morning.]


[B. Anywhere in Town]

[After discovering he still had an Age Candy left from prom, Ako had taken it immediately and gotten herself a suit. She looked fairly professional at 17 and while drones gave her second glances, her hair was tamed into a shorter cut with it held back with clips. She supposed there was some merit to have watched Seika put her hair back. Currently the tall young "man" was making a dashing cut as a crossdressing trap.]

Not bad, but I wish I could have done better.


[C. Evening - Anywhere]

[Cure Muse crouched on the top of the building, hunched over and feeling kind of uncomfortable with all of that cloth bunched into her outfit. She had tested out her Cure powers and found that the adorable yellow outfit was completely wrong for her. So she had put on the Black outfit she had found under the bed, and was doing a credible impression of Batman lurking on tall buildings in the weaning sunlight.]

(ooc: Ako is from an AU where the Precures were all magical boys. She is under the impression Mayfield genderswapped him in her sleep.)

Eh, well define normal is the key word here. By normal Earth standards, it really isn't. I mean, with the old man wanting to sow misery and discord across the world, mom trying to keep a kingdom from falling apart and gramps trying to prevent both, it's a mess.

[vividly]

Yeah, I guess that is pretty complicated... But...

Even when it's such a mess...

... Having a family... must be nice.

[tsunmuse]

[Ako noticed the tone in Vivio's voice, and stepped forward.] It's not much, but it's family anyhow.

I'm Akira Shirabe. Maybe you and I can get to know each other a little more?

[vividly]

That might be unfair to you. I don't have much to say. [ She nods in greeting anyways. ] I'm the Key to The Saint's Cradle. [ Though Vivio knows she has another name, this is the identification she's been reduced to in her AU. ]

[tsunmuse]

Naw, I'm good with stuff like that. Souta is usually talking a mile a minute anyhow so I can fill that in. [She blinks a little.] Key to The Saint's Cradle. Man, that's unwieldy. How about Key for short? It's easy to remember, and it wouldn't be too hard ta use it in conversation.

[She pronounced Key as Kay as well, giving her more distinction.]

[vividly]

... Key? [ She repeats it. It's strange... a nickname that isn't an inmate number...

She nods cautiously. ] I like that name.

[tsunmuse]

Key it is. I like it. It's a cute name for a gorgeous girl and all.

[vividly]

... You think so? [ She's a bit embarrassed now, though she can't name the feeling for herself. ] I like the name Akira too. It's a good name for someone so kind.

[tsunmuse]

Thanks. Though when it gets coupled with Prince it sounds silly. Prince Akira, wheeee.

[Leaning forward, he smiled just a little before bowing a bit.] Shall I accompany you for the day, Key?

[vividly]

[ She giggles very slightly, surprised by herself. She hasn't been happy in... ever. ]

Hm? I... guess. It might make things more... normal. [ When she's taken places as a prisoner, she's heavily guarded. ] But I... might not be good company for a Prince.

[tsunmuse]

I think just being yourself is good company enough. [Ako smiled a little, offering her hand to Vivio. He was using all of those hard-earned princely manners in order to keep her happy.]

It'll be okay, trust me.

[vividly]

[ She hesitates, then takes Ako's hand. Trusting is hard. She's trusted before and gotten used, arrested, and abandoned because of it. ]

... Okay. I'll trust you.

[tsunmuse]

Great. Want to do something fun, like take a walk and see where our feet'll lead us? Used to do that a lot, and I'd find the coolest stuff back home.

[vividly]

... Mm. Yeah, that sounds interesting. I've never done it before... What direction do you start in?

[tsunmuse]

Any direction really. How about... [Ako made a twirling gesture and pointed in a random direction.] That way?
