Now, he wants to correct himself. It wasn’t just human bodies that were a pain--it was being human that was, too.

He’d found money left for him when he’d finally figured out where his ‘apartment’ was. It wasn’t too much, and he’d wanted to divvy it up so he wouldn’t go recklessly trying to spend a lot at once until he figured out how he could get some more. The problem with that was, he’d gone to some store to just get something to eat (the apartment had some food, too, but pretty much all of it was unfamiliar to him, he wanted something more comforting right now), and he’d ended up a little bit short. And the person running the place had told him to go ‘ask his mommy or daddy for some money and come back,’ then shooed him out. 

“Hah! Treating me like I’m some kid... I’m way older than you are, yanno!” Fudou turns on his heels now, shouting back at the direction of the store even though he’s well aware he’s far enough away that he can’t be heard. His hands are clenched into fists, and for a moment he looks incredibly mad, until he exhales, and the anger slowly subsides from his features. Now, he... he doesn’t know what to do. He feels lost more than anything, and decides to take to a  small patch of grass nearby that looked close to dying, plopping down on his rear and sighing deeply.  

“...This is the worst...” The tantou grumbles to himself, wanting to say more but then noticing something nearby out of the corner of his eyes--ah, a person. Looking at him. Great. “What’re you lookin’ at...? Is this useless sword disturbing your lovely day?”

ending up in a new place with no recollection of how she got there was old news to sophie. though her memories were intact this time, panicking wasn’t really in her plans at the moment; what was in her plans was to tug on the sleeve of a boy after making a beeline towards him, intent on finding out the answer to the most important question she had at the moment.

Physical attributes alone, the boy’s appearance screamed ‘Kagamine Len’ to him. The same blonde hair and blue eyes, styled in a similar way to the boy he was familiar with normally wore it. But the attire-- the attire was a different story. It looked more like something someone would wear from times long passed, times he’d only seen referenced in the occasional book, and the occasional song he’d had to perform in. Len wouldn’t... normally wear something like that, right?

On one hand, Gakupo doesn’t want to just go up to the boy and outright ask him--as easy a solution that would be, it would also be incredibly awkward and potentially rude were he to find out that he were wrong. Mishaps happened, yes, but still.

...Nevertheless, he’s curious, and so the android quickly makes up his mind, and makes his way over to where the boy was sitting, approaching with caution as to not startle the other.

“Excuse me--” ah, he already feels awkward, but he’ll just swallow it down, “I don’t mean to interrupt, so forgive me, but... may I ask for your name? It’s just--you look strikingly similar to someone I know. Though if my question is unwanted, you’re more than welcome to ask me to leave.”

Alas, navigation was not his strong suit in a sea of humans. He needed to find someone who looked informed, someone who didn’t look too intimidating [not that he much showed fear for anything other than a scientist], and would ask for a location. 

There--someone near a bench, a perfect opportunity. Scurrying over, he’d leap upon the bench to catch the stranger’s attention with a voice as diminutive as his body. 

     “Greetings. I am. Sorry to intrude. But. Wish to know. Location of. Delta. If you know. Location, would be very happy. If you know. Please tell.”

                 ✿.A hand would reach behind his neck and would rub it in a bit of a awkward manner. The hunter didn’t expect someone to sneak up on him while he was practicing his forms, nor really expecting them to watch him. Needless to say, he felt a tad embarrassed, but of course would not show it. The only thing that would be clear as day would be his awkward socializing skills.

Yet that was as far as she had gotten. As she turned, she saw the face of the child, and hers immediately paled. The question had immediately been forgotten. Her knees shook slowly at first, yet quickly became more rapid, until her legs buckled beneath her. The proud Marlon fell to her butt, no strength even to scramble backwards. “Wh, why?” she spoke, voice shaken to the point she had not reached since she left that forest.

“Why are you here? Why do you pursue me with such contention?”

“Len??? Len!!!!! I’m so happy to see you here! Mmmmmm, but why are you wearing such funny clothes- it looks kinda dumb if you ask me..”
