First Echo / [Action/Phone]

[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...

All the more reason to show kindness to your fellows, don't you think?

[noluckduck]

Not in the fuckin' mood.

... "If disciples meet with the ills of life they should not shun them. If they suffer painful experiences, they should not feel afflicted or treated unjustly, but should always rejoice in remembering and contemplating the deep significance of the Dharma"...

[noluckduck]

Oh, shit. Your religious mantra just totally purified me. I'm peaceful as an angel now!

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

It was more for myself. I'm losing myself to the stress, and that's no good.

[noluckduck]

Can't say I blame ya.

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

Even so, I have to hold myself to a higher standard of behavior than that...

I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. My name is Kyouko.

[noluckduck]

[She doesn't see a reason to apologise, but hey.]

Kyouko? Sounds Japanese. I'm Clover.

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

Well I am Japanese. I'm a youkai.

[noluckduck]

You're a what?

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

A youkai!

[noluckduck]

I heard ya! What the hell does that mean, though?

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

... It's a bit hard to explain to foreigners. What's the word you guys use? Monster, is it?

[noluckduck]

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.

[echoes-sutras.livejournal.com]

-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?
