it's nothing new, in a way

[capitalbackup]

Who: Miyako Hotsuin (capitalbackup) and you!
Where: Virgo District, Pisces Apartment, Library (Aquarius District), anywhere
Summary: Due to drawing an unlucky fortune, Miyako found herself being mistaken for Yamato for three days, no matter what. She was not amused.
Warnings: Hotsuins with issues.

MAY 7TH-9TH
[After the festival, Miyako found herself being looked at rather oddly on the 7th. She paid no attention to it, continuing on with her day. It’s only when she’s buying some spare clothes that she gained some questions.]

”Sir, the men’s clothes are over there.”

...What?

[Unknown to Miyako at first, people will perceive her as Yamato Hotsuin. While she wouldn’t be surprised if people mistook her at first, the fact that they keep on seeing her as him, regardless of how she dress for the day. Even if Miyako’s feminine body should be obvious to anyone –she avoided wearing loose clothing that can easily hide her curves and such these days—they still mistake her for a guy.

On the 8th, it’s a rainy day. Miyako headed toward the training facilities on the Pisces apartment’s fourth floor. By now, most people have gotten used to seeing her around and using the training facilities. Unfortunately, the strange spell over her mean they don’t see her as Miyako.

This will lead to her receiving both curious glances and questions from them.

By the time she realised people see her as Yamato Hotsuin, her mood soured even more than normal.

On the 9th, she quickly make her over towards the library in Aquarius District. There was a number of things she’s been meaning to look into. This bothersome situation only added itself onto that list.]

For the next week (7th-14th)
[Whenever she head outside during the 13th Hour, Miyako notice how the monsters acted...far more agitated than normal whenever she approached them. It’s curious, since something must’ve set them off.

It makes her wonder if they feel challenged by her presence. With a slight tilt of her head, she simply gave the orders to her demons—Tyrant Mara and Megami Norn—and initiated her training by attacking the demons.

After what happened when people see her as Yamato, she’s in a notably sour mood.

However, if anyone encounters her on the 10th or further, her mood will be mostly calmed down by then. Unless they choose to remind her of what happened earlier in the week.]

(OOC: Please specify the date in the subject, if you want Miyako as “Yamato” or as herself.)

Comments

[capitalbackup]

In order words, it's directly tied to the natural order.

[eyewillprotect]

Right.

And by disrupting the Stream, you can cause... changes. I mentioned my friends, but we weren't the only ones who received powers when that occurred.

[capitalbackup]

[Miyako can see where this is going.]

Such as?

[eyewillprotect]

It's hard to describe them all, but... As you saw, I have the ability to create barriers now, and also move things with my mind. And beyond that, all of us are much stronger and sturdier than a normal human. Reaching the top of a skyscraper in moments isn't difficult at all for any of us.

[capitalbackup]

...Would you say that what you can do with the power is based on the strength of your imagination?

[eyewillprotect]

Imagination?

[She thinks about that for a moment before shaking her head.]

Not... exactly. It some ways, it seemed to take talents we already had and enhance them.

[capitalbackup]

That's where the Dragon Streams between our worlds differ on that aspect.

[And that's all "Yamato" will say about it.]

[eyewillprotect]

[That won't stop her from asking.]

How exactly did it work where you come from, Hotsuin?

[capitalbackup]

...If you have a clear purpose for the Dragon Stream, you can do almost anything.

[More or less.]

[eyewillprotect]

Did you use it yourself like that?

[capitalbackup]

Whenever I need to. I don't channel it that often.

[eyewillprotect]

...That sounds a lot different from how it was used in our world. I mean, it isn't as though we wasted the power on nothing, but--

...It was often necessary for us to use its power, too.

[capitalbackup]

As long you don't use the power for anything trivial.

[It's not her problem. But anything involving the Dragon Stream will get her attention.]

[eyewillprotect]

It was anything but. In my world, people are threatened by demons, so we try to patrol at night and prevent as many injuries or deaths as we can.

[Although in the end, they still couldn't save everyone...]

[capitalbackup]

There's only so much a small group can do.

[She doubts Aoi's companions have the manpower JP's have.]

[eyewillprotect]

...Right. Even though we went out every single night, there were many deaths we couldn't prevent...

[And even now, she feels guilt from that.]

[capitalbackup]

...And? It's impossible to prevent every single casualties.

[It's hard for Miyako to feel bad about it.]

[eyewillprotect]

Even so, I... wish we were strong enough to do so. Those people had lives and were cared about, but because we weren't strong enough, they...

[capitalbackup]

...Are you going to dwell on this for long?

[eyewillprotect]

...Yes. We were not able to protect them, so in order to preserve their memories...

They will remain in my prayers.
