ITP: Chariots of Fire

[fracta_anima]

Who: Minami, Open
Where: Virgo Ward
Summary: Minami has come to Hinoto-Ri and meets people both old and new.
Warnings: Minami and friends making fools of themselves.


[So there's a young lady in the Virgo Ward who looks a bit lonely, a bit nervous, and obviously trying very hard to look brave. People who know Minako might notice this girl's striking resemblance to her. Though, if one looked closely enough, they might notice she still seems to have some baby fat on her, her face is a bit rounder, and her hair a different shade of red. She's also taken to wearing her hair pins to form XIII rather than XXII. If anyone asks she claims it's due to losing a couple hairpins and not bothering to buy more.

Being in this place is no sweat. She's been to new places practically all her life and Igor had told her she had a new Journey to partake in. Maybe this was it? The big journey she's supposed to partake in now that her brother had taken her place as the Seal? Maybe, just maybe, this is how she can pay him back?

....but did it really have to be by herself?

With that thought in mind, the girl turns a corner onto a street specializing in food vendors. Her stomach growls (loudly) and she tries not to look too embarrassed by it. That's right, she hasn't eaten for a few hours. Not since her brother had....

It's at this time a very familiar face near a fruit stand spots her. Conveniently at the same time the girl spots said face.]

Minami?!

Miki?!

[>Cue Music

The pair run at each other, both a pair of giggly high school girls incredibly happy to see each other in such a strange new place. Both even jump once they're close enough to reach other, intent on tackling each other in a bear hug.

Too bad they wind up headbutting with a loud "THUNK" and a pair of girly shrieks instead. Both wind up on the ground clutching their craniums.]

[OOC: So, yeah, both Miki and Minami will be replying to threads after making idiots out of themselves. Expect threadjacking and don't be afraid to threadjack yourselves!]

Comments

I apologize if I have details off. It's been a while since I powered through the game.

A thousand yen says you'll be in management in a year! [She always did believe Saori could make it that high if she wanted to, had even started to prove she could once she started standing up for herself.]

Any particular kind of store you're looking for?

[ihaveanannouncement]

[She laughs.] I wouldn't bet on it.

Any store is okay at this point, although I guess a pharmacy wouldn't be ba--oh. [Whoops, all her applications are everywhere now.]

[fracta_anima]

Here! Let me help you with that!

[She bends down to pick them up, even has to chase a couple into the street because stupid wind blowing papers around. Why does it even--oh, right.]

[ihaveanannouncement]

[Saori is less frazzled as she collects the papers. She could get more later. It's not a big deal if they miss some applications.

Really, she's more concerned about her friend going into the street.]

Minako-chan, be careful!

[fracta_anima]

["Minako-chan." It's that name that gets her to pause just before going into the street and she looks back at Saori, stepping back onto the sidewalk.

So.... this isn't the Saori she knows back home?]

Uhhh.... I think there might be a mistake. My name's Minami. I'm a first year at Gekkoukan in my world.

[ihaveanannouncement]

Oh.

[Well this is awkward.]

Ahaha. I'm sorry. You look so much like her. Are you her younger sister?

[Hey, Minako never mentioned her brother before either.]

[fracta_anima]

Um. Sort of?

[Because that's the best way to describe their relationship to one another. Minami can't think of herself as 'another version of Minako' with how different and yet alike they are. Yet she can't help but see themselves at related somehow.

Still, the conversation got awkward and Minami forces her smile a little wider to compensate for it.]

Did anyone explain the whole 'other world' concept to you yet, Saori?

[ihaveanannouncement]

Yes. Minako-chan lead SEES in "my world", but in another world Minato-kun lead them instead. That's how I understand it.

[Along with the fact neither of them are alive in each other's respective universe. But whose universe did this girl belong to?]

Am I to assume you're in SEES too?

[fracta_anima]

Yeah. Well, was. I don't know if we're disbanding or not after everything that's happened.

[A Saori who knows? Not just that, but one of her friends from outside SEES who has a clue? Even if it's not the Saori she knew this definitely improves her mood.]

But the main difference I know of is I'm a year younger than Minako and Minato is, well, we're not very close. [UNDERSTATEMENT, but Minato is a fresh wound and she isn't yet ready to talk about it. Not while it still hurts to think about.]
