Ventus had been roaming around in this place for quite some time, and he had been traveling on the road for what seemed to be hours.  He hoped to find a place down the road, he couldnt tell if he would find one or not....and he was beginning to feel a bit peckish as well.  "Nugh...man I guess I shouldnt have skipped lunch.  Im so hungry."  He muttered to himself as he dragged his feet on the dirt road, trying to figure out where he was going now.

It was time.

This day, this place... This same competition with the same games and the same prize, always the same outcome... How many times had she watched this scene replay itself? How many times had she watched this spill over into disaster? She was worn down, uninterested in anything else but trying to savor the presence of her friends while they were still sane. 

She couldn't do anything. She was helpless to do anything, and yet --

 She wanted to help. She wanted to try something, anything to stop it.

The doll was given. Through Mion's cool facade, the child could tell some part of her friend was wounded; the way the heiress turned away, unbeknownst to the oblivious Keiichi, was faster than usual. Even such an unusually small thing could hint at what was to come.

The club parted for the hundredth time, and for some reason... Rika...

       ...told Satoko to go on without her.

She would be damned even if she did speak with Mion, but she would be damned if she didn't, either. Such was what compelled the miko to take off after Mion, calling her name down the street. 

  "Mi! Mi...!"

"Mii--! Where have you three been? I've been looking for hundreds of years already, no fair!~"

Flan had left the realm of Gensokyo to visit the Human Realm that day, leaving the portal Yukari set up for her to do so. After exiting the gap, she was fluttering about in the air in a strange new land. There weren't many modern buildings and everything looked more country-esque. The little vampire fluttered down and sprawled out on the grass, enjoying the fresh smell that nature had to offer.

Being outside was refreshing, but she really should at least know the name of the place she landed first. After a few minutes of relaxing, she got up and brushed the grass off her clothes, before realizing a green haired girl staring at her. Was it that weird to enjoy lying down in grass? Or maybe it was the wings? In either case, she introduced herself.

It was a normal Sunday and Keiichi was running. Why? He had overslept once again and he was sure to have an earful. When he spots a familiar green, he sped up faster before stopping to catch his breath.

"hah... hah... Sorry I'm late, so what's on the agenda, prez? Wait, don't tell me. You decided to let me win for a change? Am I right?"

❀: "Hello Mion! It's nice to see you here, it is so!"
