Who: Nano Shinonome and YOU
Where: Capricorn Ward, Park
When: 13th Hour, the night of October 23rd
What: Nano tries out some newly awakened powers
Warnings: Standard combat related warnings

[Nano has had a very busy month, between Geartopia and finally completing the quest she'd been given by Caroline several months ago. She's grown and learned so much since coming to Hinoto-Ri, and apparently all of that development was enough to awaken new abilities that she never even knew were sleeping inside her. Eager to try them out for herself, she's come alone to the wide expanse of the park in the Capricorn Ward to fight some demons.

Fortunately, the kind she was most curious about showed up first, and Nano can be found fighting a group of Heartless straight out of the Kingdom Hearts universe. She's done this before, but this time there's something a little different about her fighting style - in place of the replica keyblade she'd been given by Naminé, the one she holds now is very much the genuine article. Adorned with clockwork gears, there's no mistake that this blade is very much an expression of Nano's own soul.

She spends some time darting between low-level Heartless dispatching them with her new weapon until a few larger ones show up. At this point, Nano spends a moment's concentration to call out her Soul Persona - unmistakably so, considering she summons it directly instead of with the floating tarot card common to Velvet Room Personas. However, this time instead of the familiar wooden puppet Pinocchio, the puppetmaster Geppetto appears in his place, lashing out with a carving knife in sync with Nano's own strikes.

Clearly, this little robot has done quite a bit of changing over the past year - a far cry from the scared and unsure little clockwork girl that arrived in the streets of Hinoto-Ri last October.]

And...

[Nano thinks for a moment.]

...you want me to help fill out the forms, maybe?

[Nodnod. Hopeful smile.

Help. Or just fill them out for him. It's almost the same thing.]

Of course I'll help! It's a shame we won't be able to be classmates, though, since this application is for the free school...

[He looks back at the application, then at her again. There is a slight frown. He'd rather go to the same school as her too.]

They must have sent you this one because you haven't been to school before. But I can help you study if you want! And I'm sure you'll meet a lot of nice people there.

[He nods again, actually looking a little excited now. Nano is making school sound like a great place. So it must be.

The teachers will have a hard time with him, but luckily he'll never notice.]

It'll be fun!

[Yes, clearly it will. So now he's looking between her and the form he's supposed to fill out. Expectantly.

What does he do with this?]

[This one takes Nano a few seconds.]

...You don't know how to fill it out?

[Head shake. Nope. No idea at all.]

Can't you read, Senri-san?

[He shakes his head. Nope. Never learned.]

Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't know.

[He.... doesn't know why she's apologizing. So have a confused head tilt.]

I can help you if you want, but I'm sure you'll learn how at school too.

[He nods, and smiles again. He's actually looking forward to it. He wonders if there are any books with bears in them...]

Let's find a safe place to sit down and fill this out, then. I'll get it sent over to the school for you. Do you know where to go to get to school? I can walk you there on your first day if you'd like.

[He nods excitedly when she offers to walk him to school. And then gives her head a pat.]

...thanks.

[She's so nice to him.]

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy school as much as I have, Senri-san. I'm sure you'll learn a lot of things there.

[And then she sits down and starts filling out his application.]

[He nods, and then proceeds to watch her fill out that form like she's doing some kind of magic trick.]

Senri-san, how old are you? I need it for your application.

[Hmm, she has him kind of stumped there. Hang on. He starts counting on his fingers. He was eight when he left his tribe.....

How long was he with Crystala...? Maybe two years... Then he was on his own for a while...

He passed the first ten fingers pretty confidently, but now he's stuck. He seems to be waffling between 14 and 15.]

I'll put down 14.

[He nods. That sounds fine.]

All right, let's see...

[The rest is easy enough to fill out.]

There! All done!
