Oh- okay. Is it another surprise...?
no subject
It's a surprise, yeah! I bet you'll be really happy to meet them!
[ He hopes so, anyways, tugging her forward out the door, up the stairs to the clock tower like last time. ]
no subject
or something.
no, her brain needs to shut up, she's here with hanako now, she's safe. the only thing that can hurt her right now is her own heart. )
"Them", huh...? Have you been making friends?
no subject
Something like that...
[ Not so much making friends, but more like... They make it to the top of the stairs, stepping up into the open room when something glowing red comes flying out of nowhere directly at Nene's face
and swoops around her before it can collide, hovering somewhere before her chest, under her hands. It's! hakujoudai! An old friend (: ]
no subject
still, she probably shouldn't be so surprised considering that her curse and sight have both returned, but- )
Hakujoudai!! They're back? Then-
( then he's not relying on a stolen kitchen knife and the limitations of a normal human anymore?
as they hover nene cups her hands under them, like holding a small animal, with a small smile. )
... Does it feel better? Having them back?
no subject
But that's okay, he can't help but smile at the fact that she was surprised, and more so when he sees her finally smile. ]
Yup! I still don't know what this place did to me, but... I'm a powerful supernatural in my own right, so they couldn't be locked away forever!
[ It feels better. Like a part of him's returned. But more importantly, with them back, he's better equipped to do all sorts of thing— better equipped to protect Nene, to poke his nose into things without fear of retribution, to carve their way out. With them back, maybe Nene would have faith in him and his ability to pull through, and he won't feel so restless. ]
no subject
... I don't get this place. It even has a demon lord, but he started out like us too. ... Bweh, I don't wanna talk about that... but. ( nene looks back up at him, smiling just a bit more, but completely sincerely. ) I'm glad you're doing better, then.
no subject
Maybe he's a little embarrassed. Maybe his smile becomes less bright but softer to make up for it. Maybe he's glad too. ]
You're doing better too, right? Can you feel our connection?
[ takes her hands again
what about now ]
cries in Foreknowledge
( especially since the curse swung back hard, and is interrupting her flippin life because everyone is fond of water cups on the door pranks-
but. she can't honestly say she's doing better. not with four deaths in so few days. not when she had memories of one, and not when she feels so guilty for not reaching out more. grief doesn't get better at a happy surprise.
nene looks away for a moment before trying to smile again. )
I... I think I'll get there... Maybe there'll be good news at the meeting.
stares into the sky at the meeting
[ Is there ever good news at their meetings? Of the few Hanako's seen, it just seems to him like they play games... which is good, he's supportive of that, anything to return that smile to Yashiro's face. One year... He can't guarantee her that much, the longer they stay in this place. ]
If there is any, I'm trusting you to be my eyes and ears and pass it all onto me, okay? Can you do that for me?
email notif on my phone: hanaban / me, immediately opening dreamwidth:
smashcut to nene wailing in hanako's arms in grief and betrayalstill, with mr. lucifer in charge nene is sure things will be far more productive this time! )Of course I will. ( and she seals it with a hug. hug for hanako... ) What will you be doing during the meeting?
no subject
Me? Now that I've got the Hakujoudai back, I'm going to let them investigate where I can't go, and see what we can find. Did you want one to stay with you during the meeting?
[ So even if he can't physically be there, Nene can always have a lil soul floating around her head in future threads that people can go "hm" about ]
no subject
( looks at hyde. ... looks at komaeda. keep her safe, hakujoudai... )
Will you tell me what you do find?
( she wants... to be involved. not because she doesn't trust hanako-kun, that isn't it at all. she's just...frustrated with herself, feeling passive and docile. she hates it. that isn't her- it never has been. but what can she do here? ... )
no subject
[ Even if he's notorious for not telling her anything until the moment of, and only if he has no other choice and can't take care of something himself. At least whatever's going on here, it's going to take more than just the two of them. ]
no subject
( how many times has she spent the evening just staring at the soul tree? who could say. but...
after a moment, she just rests her forehead against him, because ew. thinking. again. )
I hope tonight's not too wild. I just wanna take a nap.
no subject
We'll save everybody we can, [ he says, knowing that when it comes down to it, he's saving him and his. ]
Those who are living, I don't know yet why they're here or how to free them, but the dead... The world is meant for the living; the dead aren't supposed to stick around. If you want to help them, there are two ways about it: you can destroy them, thoroughly and utterly. Or, you can fulfil their wish. Remember how we used to do it?
nene like "go make some friends hanako-kun"
( but how can she confirm it? and if she can... how does she help them? )
asdfljh him and his only!!!!
We can... burn down the tree?
[ release the hitodama? ]
"MAKE FRIENDS, SAVE MORE PEOPLE ily"
( NOT HANAKO-KUN BRINGING ARSON BACK INTO THINGS.... FULL CIRCLE... )
no subject
...It's worth a try?
no subject
We'll keep it in mind, but I think we should investigate other options first.
no subject
Hmm~ ...Alright! I'm counting on you to find those other options, Yashiro! The tree's safety is in your hands!
nene like 'enough planning for right now, cuddles'
( and after a moment, nene just leans against him once more- a comfort for both of them, a reassurance... calm before the storm. despite everything, she can always find something comforting in his presence. )
