... ... ... ... ?

What is...?

I shouldn't... be awake...


[In the Velvet Room...]

[It's courteous of whatever's going on with Igor's plan here that Hamuko is dressed. She probably shouldn't even have a body... whatever she has going on now... did her body fall comatose without her? Did it die? If it was alive, she surely should be much older. ... ... ... Maybe that all doesn't really matter, right now. She's here, gifted a chance to be around others again. The pinboard catches her attention first, of course. Signs of other people... so many little notes, talking about multiple versions of the same person running around. That's... that's charming... that's fun. ...Even if the notes about Ken Amadas make her sad...]

Hmm... I don't see any other 'me' off the bat...

[She'll take a few minutes once given a pen and some pink paper to doodle a little version of herself, signed with her name and phone number, and add it to the corner of the pinboard.]


[Inaba, Central Shopping District]

[What a fun little town! A charming place... hey, isn't this the town she went to for the volleyball camp? She loved the accommodations, but it's so nice to actually wander the streets and see the little shops. This place is SO rural, Hamuko had never really visited a place this remote, even when jumping between foster homes.] Let's see... what's the good spot for the locals? [No point being a complete tourist shmuck!!]


[Shibuya, Underground Mall]

[Well, since nothing costs anything here... might as well get some cute new clothes, right? Who knows how long she'll be around here, and 'dreaming up' new outfits didn't seem to be a thing. No lucid dreaming here - somehow, Hamuko felt a lot happier with that in mind. Still... the fashion is so different!!]

I just want one cute orange top...!! Is orange out of style? Dang it...


[Iwatodai Dorms]

[Of all of the places she's been having fun goofing off and exploring in, the dorms... she couldn't quite get the courage to open the front. Not just yet.]

Not even Koromaru is out front right now. ...I've gotta apologize...

Falcon stares at her for a moment, before letting out the robotic equivalent of what might be an annoyed sigh.

"Struck a deal with a fragment of Nyx in order to bring about the Fall. He got drunk on his power after that," Falcon says, matter of factly. "There's a post on the network with all the relevant information, if you're that curious."

Personally, he couldn't give less of a fuck. Doomada needs to be brought down, just like Shido, just like the Conspiracy, simple as that.

"I'll look into it," Hamuko answered. A fragment of Nyx... not Nyx herself. And it was Ken Amada that did it.

There might be a lot more context, but... Hamuko would be lying if she couldn't see a version of Ken Amada succumbing to that anger in that way. Did he become the Appraiser, somehow? No one else she knew seemed to have a connection to Nyx besides Ryoji...

"...Right. I'll see what I can do."

[gorobo]

He watches the gears turn in her head, and Falcon crosses his arms, growing impatient.

"If that'll be all," he says flatly, "I was on my way home. I need to recharge."

[wipingallout]

"Well... let me give you my phone number. Call me if you need backup," Hamuko insisted first, getting her phone out.

[gorobo]

Falcon lets out a little, robotic noise of annoyance, but he accepts regardless. It's easier than resisting- he knows these types.

"I've saved it to my memory," he says. Then, he turns away from her. "I'll see you around."

[wipingallout]

"I'll see you next time. Thanks for talking to me, Falcon," she bade farewell, even if he was very grouchy about... everything, really. That's fine.
