Who: Sig and anyone
Where: Somewhere in the city
Summary: An extremely spaced out blue-haired kid with demon hand finds himself in a different world and is completely lost.
Warnings: Nnnnone?
[Sig was dozing off while spending his usual after-school time in the forest by Primp Town. The next thing he knew was finding himself at a completely different place. Or was it different? It felt similar, but he didn't exactly know why. Was he here before, long time ago? He scratched his head, confused.]

...Huh?

[This wasn't really good. What was he going to do with all the bugs that was going to get lured to the honey he put on the trees just a while ago?]

Not good...

[He needed to find a way back. He walked away from the forest, and eventually ended up in the city, where he quickly lost track of direction due to massive the place was as compared to a tiny rural town of Primp.]

U-hee... [Sig sat down onto the street, looking up at the sky. Even he knew he was lost.]

Comments

[phantom_envoy]

[In the hustle and bustle of the city, someone in a black and white costume drifts through the air above Sig, her face buried in what appeared to be a tourist's map.]

...Why in the world does a city need a tea shop around every corner? You'd think they'd run each other out of bu -- Whoops.

[It falls from her hands towards the boy sitting on the street as she rotates it back and forth; Phantom Girl dives down to try and snatch it before it lands on top of Sig.]

Sorry!

[robinsegg]

[Sig, on the other hand, didn't notice the map almost falling onto his head even after he hears someone apologize. He looks up to see Phantom Girl and slowly blinks once.]

Huh.

[phantom_envoy]

Just trying to figure this place out.

[She settles briefly onto the ground to try and reorient the map in the correct direction.]

...

You wouldn't happen to know the way to the shopping district, would you?

[robinsegg]

[Sig stares at the map for a while before looking at Phantom Girl to shake his head.]

No.

[He was lost himself, so he probably wasn't going to be of help. He scratches his head, unsure what to do or what else to say.]

[phantom_envoy]

...Um.

[Phantom Girl bites down a bit on her lower lip for a few moments.]

O...kay then! Thanks.

[A short pause.]

So you're probably just being cold and unfriendly around strangers - totally the right thing to do, your parents taught you well - but... everything OK? You look kind of like someone just conked you in the head.

[robinsegg]

[Sig blinked, mild surprise showing up on his face for a moment. Hit at the head?? Sig raises his hands to look for bumps, but there were none.]

I didn't get hit on the head... I think.

[Perhaps he needed to explain himself more...]

People say I'm always like this. Don't worry.

[phantom_envoy]

Spacy and distant?

[While she was looking for adjectives, 'tactful' was a good word to not use when describing Phantom Girl.]

Alright, then. I'll let you go back to whatever it was you were doing.

hi I showed up as promised, do I get a sticker |D

[trainwrecking]

[Sometimes a guy just needs his next fix, okay? Sometimes at bad times of the day too, like when it's miserably hot and the only clean shirt he has is long-sleeved. Oops. But Otonashi needed--

Needed--

A coffee. Really badly. Okay maybe he didn't need one, but he wanted one enough to venture out of the huge house in Libra for a change, putting off the chores until later. And then there's a... kid with a serious sunburn on his arm? A confused kid, at that. Is it wrong for Otonashi to worry?]

Uh... Maybe you shouldn't be sitting in the street?

yes here's a ladybug sticker, treat it with great care

[robinsegg]

[Sig scratches his head in confusion with his "sunburnt" arm as he turned to look at a redhaired guy. Red's such a poopy color, Sig thought.]

...?

[Oh, right. Perhaps he was in the guy's way? Or maybe he was sitting on something the guy needed?] Oh.

[He gets up to his feet and moves aside and waits for the guy to pass.

...If only he had the mind to ask where in the world he was, Sig would have taken the time to ask. But alas, his simple-minded head didn't even process the opportunity.]

Re: yes here's a ladybug sticker, treat it with great care

[trainwrecking]

[Pff, red is a pretty color. This kid's reaction isn't exactly what he had in mind.]

N...o, I mean you might get hurt or stepped on. It's getting late, someone might not even see you. [Maybe overexplaining might be good for this blue-haired child. He doesn't seem to be a master conversationalist.]

[robinsegg]

[And Sig finally realizes what Otonashi was trying to tell him. His realization shows up as a faint facial expression.]

Ah. Don't want to be stepped on. That would hurt.

[Which made him curious...] There are giants here?

[trainwrecking]

Right... [Your powers of observation are astounding, Sig. He reaches out to the boy.]

Come on, I'll help y--

[Did... did he hear that right?]

Eh? Giants?! No... Why? [He's just rubbing the banged-up side of his face now, confused. Following this kid's line of thought is going to be frustrating, he thinks.]

[robinsegg]

Oh. [He scratches his head as he stays in his spot, not realizing the offered hand.]

Giants can step on people. [At least, that is his reasoning... But Sig's logic has always been kind of off.]

[all_wound_up]

[Nano is happening by on her way to the grocery store when she catches sight of an unfamiliar child sitting by himself on the street looking confused.]

Um... excuse me? Are you lost?

[robinsegg]

[Sig blinks lazily as he looks over to the direction of the voice. He scratches his head, as if he's unsure whether he's lost or not.]

I think.

[He had no clue where he was, so that would mean he's lost, right?]

What's here?

[all_wound_up]

[Nano crouches down, offering a hand.]

This city is called Hinoto-Ri. My name is Nano Shinonome. What's yours?

[robinsegg]

[Sig gives a stare at the girl's hand.]

My name is Sig.

[He gets the wrong idea for the offered hand, though.]

You can't have my bugs.

[Sig, what...]

[all_wound_up]

B-bugs? Where?

[robinsegg]

Bugs. Here. [And he shows an insect cage he had from his bag to show a stag beetle.]

My friends.

[frequent_flyer]

[Some days you wake up, and you just crave natto curry.]

[Today was one of those days.]

[Hideki went at a casual pace down the sidewalk, looking up at nothing in-particular as one hand fiddled absently with his passcard. Summer was always a little melancholic for him, as baseball season was well underway and he wasn't a part of it. But why focus on that when you could be eating comfort food?]

[A delivery man on a bike rang his bell, prompting Hinata to look for the source, only to see the bicycle making a bee-line for... some kid sitting in the street like an idiot.]

H-hey! Look out! [The blunette ran at the boy in the street, grabbing the back of his shirt and yanking him out of the way of the oncoming bicyclist.]

[robinsegg]

[Sig didn't even notice the bicyclist until he realized he was being dragged away from the spot he was sitting in. Even with that he lazy watched the guy ride past before looking at Hinata was a confused look.]

....Huh?

[frequent_flyer]

[Is this kid slow in the head or something? Hinata gives him a blank look in response to this remarkably unspectacular reaction.]

You... almost got hit by someone on a bicycle. Didn't you see them?

[robinsegg]

[What an accurate perception, Hinata. That is exactly what Sig is.

Sig looks at the bicyclist who was now in the distance for a good minute before he slowly realizes what could have happened.]

Oh. That wouldn't be good.

[frequent_flyer]

N...no. No it wouldn't.

[Hinata is... kind of at a loss. How can this kid even live if he's this slow!?]

[And what the hell is up with his hand]

[Maybe... he just needs someone to tell him not to be an idiot?]

You should probably get out of the street.

[robinsegg]

[Only in a tiny village up in the mountains.

But Hinata, what if this kid was hopeless in the "not be an idiot" skill, just like a certain halberd ax guy?]

I should.

[And then he pauses for a moment.]

You should too.
