1. [ 436 PEEPERS | Starting House, morning ]
[ This drone looks... different today. If that makes any sense. It certainly does not look like the drone that was here the night before. It has short, boyish hair now with dark brown eyes and pink rosy cheeks. The eyes in particular are considerably larger, with her irises as wide as saucers.

If you go in to wake it up, it will simply mumble incoherently about "five more minutes" and roll over on it's side. Eventually it has to get up (you might have to drag it out of bed and onto the floor), but once that's settled the difficult part is over with. Oddly, it isn't smiling today. In fact it looks pretty... tired and cranky, actually. Like it didn't get much sleep the night before. But it doesn't seem to be freaking out... odd.

It'll respond to anyone who tries to speak to it, albeit incoherently. The drone does not sound worried or confused or even remotely curious as to where it is or what has happened. In fact, it does not seem to even realize that anything is different, and any attempts to enlighten it will just bounce right off. But it won't ignore you, unless you try to lecture it. Then it will tune you out.

It slowly becomes apparent that this new member to the family must be a drone. With those dull eyes and the way it seems absolutely calm... what else could it be?

Perhaps it's a new drone model. Drone 2.0, now with less creepy and more grouchy. It might be better just to leave it to it's own devices.

It will most definitely join the family at the table for breakfast, but oddly it won't get far. It'll hold the fork like one would hold a pole or a Oh sure it knows how to use a fork, but it is not very used to it. It'll stare at the plate, tired eyes blinking in a state of utter confusion.

Whatever. The drone grumbles something about "mom taking out the stupid utensils," before it rises to it's feet and shambles over to one of the drawers. It opens it and starts going through it to find that there are no chopsticks.

No chopsticks. ]

[ But... her mom always had chopsticks.

And around a hour after rising from her bed, Yukko Aioi is beginning to notice that something is very off.

She closes the drawer slowly and hovers there for a moment before returning to her seat. She doesn't do or say much of anything. She just sort of sits there, staring at the table with wide eyes. She doesn't move apart from an occasion twitch.

And then. Suddenly. She. Screams. ]

Wuh-whu-WAIT!! [ She throws herself out of her seat! ] THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE!

[ She stamps her feet. She reaches out and flips the kitchen table because no way is she overreacting! Sorry if you were... still eating. ] THIS ISN'T MY HOUSE!! WHERE AM I?!

[ She starts pacing around in a circle, hands clasped over her head. ]

Did I - Did I fall asleep in the wrong house again?! [ ... Again? ] Oh man, is this even Japan? Who the hell doesn't have chopsticks? That makes no sense, everyone has those! Oh man, oh man, mom's gonna kill me! She's gonna ring my neck!

[ Then Yukko stops dead. She looks over. Oh. There were other people? It's as if she hasn't noticed them at all. Yukko greets them in the only way she can. ]

W-Who the hell are you?!

[ Yes because this is how you introduce yourself, hi, hello, nice to meet you. ]

2. [ HIGH SCHOOL...? | Daytime ]
[ Okay, yeah, Yukko is still freaking out by the time she runs out the door. And by running, Yukko is actually zooming down the street as fast as she can. Speedy Gonzales ain't got nothing on her.

GET OUT OF THE WAY. SHE IS LATE FOR SCHOOL.

Wait. Isn't school out for the summer?

Yes. Yes it is. ]

2a. [ She is going way too fast to watch out, so chances are she might run straight into you! Look out! ]

2b. [ Yukko doesn't know that it's summer vacation. She's practically unaware that such a large vacation exists!

And you know what else she doesn't know? Where the high school is.

And since she is at this point a one-man emotional rollercoaster, she zooms around town at top speed for about a half-hour until she just finds the high school by chance. And she tries the door. To find that it is locked tight.

If you are somehow passing by the high school during the morning, you will see an exhausted Yukko, whining as she fruitlessly paws at the door. ]

C-C'mon! Lemme in! [ Scratchscratchscratch! ] C'mon, it's my first day, gimmie a break!

2c. [ And an hour later she just... gives up and curls up against the door. She's not even sobbing or crying or anything of the sort. She just lays there, staring vacantly with her arms and legs spaying out. Occasionally she whines softly. Otherwise she's completely silent, and if you walk up to her, she'll look up and whine at you like some forlorn puppy. ]

3. [ AROUND TOWN | EARLY AFTERNOON, open to everyone ]
[ ... and of course after Yukko realizes that school is out, she can't find her way back. Everything looks the same, how could she ever find it?

Yukko is thinking that, maybe, if she keeps wandering around aimlessly, the house will suck her in like a blackhole. Even though she isn't sure how that would even work...

So Yukko's going to be wandering around town, anxious, excited, lost and painfully alone.

Do your worst Mayfield. ]

4. [ PHONE ]

So, it's summer vacation? Great time to be brought here, huh? It could be worse - they could have brought me in during exams! Ha ha, just kidding! But I guess this is kinda cool! The longer I'm out of school, the better!

[ Yes because this totally makes up for getting kidnapped... sob. ]

[ Well it's not like she was eating oatmeal or anything.

Except she was.

And now she looks rather surprised with her outstretched arms hovering in the air where her bowl USED to be, spoon in hand. ] —ah?

[ Looking over at the girl who certainly isn't acting like a drone. ] Huh? Who're you?

hi :3

[selematpagi]

W-Wha - That's what I'm asking you! Who are you?!

[ She throws her arms out. Yoshika's confusion only serves to alarm Yukko even more. ]

/jams in

[echoing_sutras]

Who are you?!

-Apparently Yukko just yelled at herself.-

[jumpsinline]

[ That... doesn't confuse Yoshika any less? ] But that's whaaaat I said!!

—sort of.

[envyspites]

[Sup, have a Mion passing by on her bike.]

...it's summer vacation, yanno.

[selematpagi]

[ Yukko lifts her head and turns slowly. ]

S... Summer vacation? But isn't this June?

[envyspites]

Yup. This town works on an American schedule. Apparently it's June to August.

[selematpagi]

A-America? But why would they -

[ Yukko just holds her head in her hands. ]

Of course it'd be closed. It's because I ran here, isn't it?

action; around town.

[extraordinarily]

[Haruhi is just going to facepalm at the new girl. Every single time.]

Hey, are you lost?

[Because Haruhi's almost about to facepalm. The newbies get dumber and dumber each time.]

action; around town.

[selematpagi]

[ Hey, she isn't that dumb... okay, yeah, she is, because any normal person wouldn't wander around like an idiot. ]

... maybe? I'm sure it isn't that far. [ Nervous... laugh. ] There are plenty of streets here, huh?

action; around town.

[extraordinarily]

[Haruhi rolls her eyes, unconvinced. Her voice sounds completely deadpan as she speaks, though.]

Most of the streets look exactly the same, though. At least, unless you've been here for a while.

2b;

[encored]

[WOW what a sorry sight. he'd have skirted far around Yuuko if he didn't need to get into the building himself... but luck is, of course, not in his favor.]

Are you looking for a way in?

2b;

[selematpagi]

[ Oh hi stranger, she didn't notice you. She was too busy trying to push the door open by sheer force.

Yukko turns around, tears streaming down her face. She nods. ]

Uhuh. But someone locked the door from the inside! I've been trying for a half-hour too!

[encored]

[arching a brow... goodness, it's been a while since he's ran into such theatrics!]

Is that all? You haven't tried any of the windows or side-doors, I assume. [even if they'd also be locked BUT STILL, might as well add insult to injury.]

If you were dead you would be out of school forever.

[...ball of sunshine right here.]

[selematpagi]

- w-what? Don't joke about that kind of stuff! For a second I thought you were being serious!

[mayitlastforeve]

I was not joking. Is being out of school really that great?

[She kind of misses it. Or at least, the time before she had reason to quit.]

3. Around Town

[downtoearthpony]

[Applejack is merely trotting along, minding her own business, when she catches sight of Yukko.

And that's the sorriest looking human she's seen yet. Applejack can't help but feel like she needs some help.]

Um, excuse me there little lady, is everything okay?

1/3

[selematpagi]

[ Yukko doesn't look at Applejack until she calls her.

She turns her head and stares. ]

2/3

[selematpagi]

3/3 I'm sorry

[selematpagi]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhh.

[ Did.

Did that yellow pony just talk to her?

Yukko twitches. ]

No, that was spectacular! XD

[downtoearthpony]

[Applejack is taken aback a bit at the sound Yukko makes. It does not sound like a good thing.]

Oh jeeze, are you alright? 'Cause you're sure looking out of sorts. Ya need some help there?

[cawtier]

[Sure is an orange crow with shades in that tree looking down at you.]

You know. You need to put out a "will work for food" sign at least. And like, a cup or some shit to catch change in.

(frozen comment) 2c

[selematpagi]

W-Who's there?!

[ Yukko creaks her head up, still laying prone on the ground.

Talking crow? If she weren't so insulted she'd be curling up even further into a ball because this was just too much! ]

Spare change? No way! I'm no bum - I'm bummed out! There's a difference!

(frozen comment)

[cawtier]

That was terrible and you should feel terrible for saying it. No wonder you're homeless.
