[Action 1448 Mitchell Road; early early morning]

-You know what the appropriate thing to do when you wake up in a strange place, with your ears, tail, clothes, and powers missing?

Well, if you're Kyouko, you scream at the top of your lungs.-

KYAAAAAAAH!!!

-Talk about a rude awakening...-

[Phone; sometime later]

Um... I was told there may be people I know here...

Could anyone help me? I'm looking for my fellow disciples... the people of Myouren Temple. I need to find them! Please... I don't wanna be here alone...

Oh. Okay.

[Does she sound a bit more... dismissive now?]

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

So you are not upset by that?

[noluckduck]

I ain't gonna hug you, if that's what you're askin'.

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely not asking that.

[noluckduck]

'Kay, we're good then! I ain't ever gonna touch you, got it?

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

Unless you ever want to!

[noluckduck]

Nnnnooooo.

-The girl giggles.- You're awfully unusual, Clover-san.

[noluckduck]

Wha-- You're the fuckin' Japanese monster here!

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

Are you afraid I'm going to eat you?

[noluckduck]

Fuck, you eat people?!

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

Is that what you think I do?

[noluckduck]

Just answer the damn question!

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

It's been a long time. You'll have to forgive me if I relish your reaction for a moment.

[noluckduck]

Go eat a burger or somethin'!

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

No no, I mean I don't eat humans at all. But it's been a long time since someone has reacted like this to me.

[noluckduck]

... Oh.

You sure?

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

I am a Buddhist. I do not lie!

[noluckduck]

Sure ya don't.

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

But I really don't! And I don't hurt humans either.

[noluckduck]

... So why're you called a monster?

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

Do you think that is an unpleasant thing to be? Must a youkai, or monster, be some frightful thing?

[noluckduck]

Well, yeah. Why else would ya get that name?

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

But those names alone are not frightful. It is what humans simply have attached to them.

[noluckduck]

And there's probably a damn good reason for it!
