Who: Miyako Hotsuin (capitalbackup) and you!
Where: Cancer -> Virgo District (Junes), Library (Aquarius District)
Summary: Miyako deals with memories that doesn’t belong to her (Miki’s), develops an interests in figurines and having a sour mood over brother related things.
Warnings: Mentions of death and blood.

MAY 17TH 
[When Miyako went out to the shops in the after, she noticed...something was off.

At first, the memories only made her blinked (steady, focus, remember the forms...), because she was trained in martial arts. But now she remembered something that couldn’t happen. She looks over at where one of the arcades are, confused by what’s on her mind.

Because she never went to the arcades with these unfamiliar yet familiar people she’s thinking of. Other than that date with William, or her research excursion before it, she never went to the arcade with anyone else.

She turned away from the arcade, walking over to the shops and found herself...taking Phoenix Ranger R figures off the shelf in Junes?

It’s an odd sight for anyone who knew her, as Miyako never expressed an interest in tokusatsu before. Care to ask while she’s preoccupied?]

MAY 23RD
[By this time, she’s already feeling the emotional effects from the memories. Unlike the memories from earlier in the week, these ones was vastly more draining than ever.

She was about to make her way to the libraries in Aquarius district, almost to spite the memories.

Because she only have one brother and he never died at a young age (because Yamato grew up with her and died at age seventeen--). And she never know another person enough to consider them as her brother (rage, pain, there's so much blood from his body--).

Whoever see Miyako would notice her frown, and how she rubbed her right temple, before entering the library.]

Figurines? I didn't think you were the type.

[Just kinda standing there, sipping at some kind of warm drink - coffee, maybe? He might've spotted Miyako earlier and kind of tailed her here...]

Re: May 17th

[capitalbackup]

[Startled, she quickly looks over at him as she hide the figurine in her hand from his view.]

...What do you mean?

[bondsofsuffering]

I already saw it, you know.

[He takes a long drink before he continues.]

-You talked about a pretty sheltered lifestyle before. I didn't think you'd be into tokusatsu stuff.

[capitalbackup]

...I guess you did.

[Well, she loosen her stance and no longer hide the figurine behind her back. It's the Red Hawk figurine.]

And no, I never watched tokusatsu before.

[As far as she knows, but...she seems to know something? Where did this information about Phoenix Ranger Featherman R come from?]

[bondsofsuffering]

...What, did you just get interested in the figurine, then?

[That's... pretty weird, especially for Miyako.]

[capitalbackup]

And what's wrong with that?

[Even weirder is...well, the slight change in how she speaks.]

[bondsofsuffering]

[...]

Who are you and what have you done with Miyako?

May 23rd

[eyewillprotect]

Oh... Hotsuin.

[Aoi smiles, but it looks a little... strained. Her memories are getting fuzzy, and she's starting to become confused as to whether or not she once had younger siblings, but--

Well, that was the past, right? She shouldn't... dwell on those things...]

Re: May 23rd

[capitalbackup]

[Miyako paused and glance over at Aoi, lowering her hand from her head.]

...Misato. [Considering what's going on--] Are you affected as well?

[eyewillprotect]

...With the memories, right?

[She lowers her eyes to the ground, giving a small, sad sigh.]

I think I must be. Everything is growing... confused. I don't think all of these things could have happened to me, but...

[capitalbackup]

Because it feels like it did.

[The emotions and the memories seemed so real, but Miyako knows better.

She only have one life and one brother.]

Just don't mixed up your real memories with them.

[eyewillprotect]

I'm trying not to, but at the same time...

[She gives a shaky sigh.]

...Well, at least I won't be forgetting those idiots anytime soon.

[Wait, what.]

[capitalbackup]

[What.

Miyako blinks in surprise. As far as she knows, Aoi isn't the type of person to use that word for anyone.]

..."Idiots"?

23rd

[themortalhalf]

[And if Miyako bothers to wander into one of the library's quiet, forgotten corners she might find Shinjiro there, sitting at one of the empty tables and staring out the window with rapt attention. He's not here for the books—which should be obvious enough given that he hasn't even dragged one off the shelves—he's here, mostly, for the silence and for a relatively stress-free hiding place.

Not that he'd ever admit he was chased in here by his own nerves because his emotions are on the fritz and he's jumping at everything that could even be interpreted as a threat, a gracious side-effect over whatever the hell is going on, but that's also true. He knows something is going on now, what with the constant babble of posts going on around the Network, but the knowledge doesn't help as much as it should. All he knows is he feels more like himself when he's not looking around every corner for something that might bite him into extinction.]

Re: 23rd

[Between the libraries and JP's private archives, Miyako have a few choices to pick from. She ultimately went with the libraries for the quiet and the wealth of information.

Once she's inside the library, Miyako walks away from where most library-goers frequent, hoping to avoid talking with people and be alone inside. Only for her to stop, her light footsteps quietening down to silence, when she saw someone.

Miyako knows that person. But she shouldn't have--(pain, anguished anger at who she believed was responsible)]

Jiji?

[Almost without thinking, it slipped from her mouth.]

[themortalhalf]

[Shinjiro's head jerks upward when he hears the nickname, startled, and almost stands up in his chair, but he forces himself to stay where he is. He might have responded to the name, but he doesn't recognize the voice—or the face when that belongs to it. It makes him wary when he knows it shouldn't.]

Who're you?

[capitalbackup]

[He's the same boy from these memories. The memories that definitely doesn't belong to her. She repeats that in her mind, almost spiting the emotions she's feeling from seeing him and to remind herself.]

...Miyako. I'm Miyako Hotsuin.

[If he's in these memories, then Jiji--this boy would know who they belong to.]

[themortalhalf]

[He grimaces, trying to consolidate his memories.

Though he thinks he all ready knows what's going on, given what he's heard and knows.]

There aren't very many people who call me that.

[capitalbackup]

Yeah. I think it's just me.

[It's seems both familiar yet unfamiliar to her. She frowns, before shaking her head, as if trying to shake away the confusion.]

...Who else called you that?

17th

[operationbox]

[Wait, is that...

Chief Hotsuin - wait, Miyako - with a Featherman?]

Er, milady... I didn't know you were interested in that kind of thing...

Re: 17th

[capitalbackup]

[Upon being discovered by someone, Miyako immediately looks at Io and try to hide the Featherman figurine (Red Hawk, if Io knows it).]

Don't call me "milady". [It's just odd, okay? But wait, it's Io.] ...Nitta?

[operationbox]

[Basically, "she's heard of it". But nothing more, really.]

Yes, it's me.

[Also... what is she wearing? It's... kind of tacky.]

[capitalbackup]

[Even with Miyako's decidedly...simple senses, she even knows Io's attire is tacky.]

What are you wearing?

[operationbox]

I just put on things I thought would look good, milady...

[Whoops. She tries to backpedal, remembering that she was just told not to do that...]

[capitalbackup]

I never expected you to wear something like this.

[Then again, it's not like Miyako hang out with Io a lot.]
