The Final Key
Who: CLOSED. Nano, Kairi, and a special guest monster
Where: Castle Oblivion
Summary: Nano has a quest leading her deep within Kairi's home, and the redhead is happy to offer her a hand getting there.
Warnings: PG-13 by default
[It would be lying to say she wasn't surprised and perhaps a bit worried to get a call from Nano requesting to travel deep within the castle during the 13th hour, but Kairi was willing to hear her friend out on the matter. And, well, hearing it was a special request from the Velvet Room? She definitely couldn't turn her away from something like that, even if it did get dangerous in there; it'd at least be less so with Kairi around, now that she had inherited the castle. All in all, she had agreed to be her escort.
So, Kairi was waiting on the steps in front of the castle, laying back with fingers entwined behind her head, a small habit she had picked up from extended contact with her best friend. The stars were quite pretty and vibrant tonight, though she couldn't help but feel a twinge of homesickness staring up at them like this, even though that home wasn't technically even hers to speak of. Either way and despite the small bit of negativity, stars still had an overwhelming sense of hope to her, and she quite enjoyed looking up at them when she had an opportunity. So many other people in so many other worlds were looking up at the same sky and stars as she was, with all their own lives and dreams... and maybe, for all Kairi knew, the other her was looking up at them right now too. And maybe, just maybe, orbiting among all those stars way up there was the station, where her loved ones still lived and endured week after week of Val's whims. As long as they carried on... well, there was still hope they could end up here.
Glancing at her watch, a few minutes ticked before midnight would hit; Nano should be here any minute, so long as she hadn't gotten caught up in something. Hopefully she'd get here soon, wouldn't want to miss the rather interesting transformation...]

Eight years old and capable of all of that? Goodness, I can't wait to see what she'll accomplish when she's older if she can do all of that now.
I have a cat too, her name is Mittens; one of my friends brought her back from Facility with them. I'm not sure if I'd want to know what she was thinking, though, not to mention all the gossip she'd have on all of us.
[She giggles a little, listening to the rest of Nano's recount, expression shifting to a fond smile as she reaches over and pats the younger girl on the shoulder.]
They sound like amazing friends, I'm glad you were able to meet them! I feel like I might have met one of them, actually... when we were coming back from that other world, a girl with a uniform similar to the one you have landed on me when we got thrown out. She had short hair in a light brownish color; she was very sweet, though rather ruffled up and confused. I don't think I ever caught her name, though.
[Finally they reach the top of the steps and the relief is obvious on Kairi's face; she hoped there wouldn't be too many more rooms after this one with all the time they'd spent just walking up these steps. She pulls open the door with a heavy tug, keeping it open for Nano to walk through.]
After you!

[Nano giggles at the thought.]
I'm sure she'll invent all sorts of useful things to help people once she's able to start studying in a real classroom. She might even graduate high school before I do!
[And she seems to find the comment about Kairi's cat equally amusing.]
Sakamoto wasn't as cute anymore after we knew what he was saying. We thought about leaving him where we found him, but we ended up bringing him home in the end. He's part of the family now!
[Warm smiles abound as Kairi's hand touches her shoulder.]
Oh, yes! That was Yukko-san! I should introduce her to you all sometime... maybe you and Namine-san can come over to our house for dinner!
[But that was a plan to be discussed when there aren't dangerous monsters to slay. Focusing once again on the path ahead, Nano nods to Kairi, stepping through the door with her weapon at the ready.]
the next part is down below for you uwu
[She winks at her as she goes through the door, leading into a room decorated much like the initial lobby was, everything in shades of white and grey. It wasn't too big, maybe a third of the size of the lobby, decorated with a large crystal orb on a pedestal in the middle, with a chair off to the side. Hanging above the chair was a white cage, a small doll resting cozily within it. Upon taking in the room Kairi's face immediately blanches and etches with dislike, head shaking slowly.]
Ugh. The way out is over this way.
[Whatever this place was, it wasn't hard to figure it had to do with Kairi's sister, and that it made her really annoyed and uncomfortable.]
no subject
Oh, that's-!
[But the other girl doesn't seem nearly as happy, so she quickly clams up, wondering what's wrong all of a sudden. This particular metaphor for Namine's life is a little too sophisticated for Nano.]
O-okay...
