“...Miss?”

Minnie couldn’t help but seem to notice that something about the woman seemed...strange? She couldn’t place her finger on it - but the way she stood there with such a down look on her face made the little mouse fill with worry. 

"...You remind me of someone. I just can't put my finger on it..."

Haeun never truly considered herself to be in danger at her arrival to the city. Things were much too fantastical to heed the environment as a threat to her safety. Sure, things were obscure and nearly fairy-tale like, but things hadn’t been like almighty hell from the devil’s incarnate. Perhaps the breath of fresh air from this new place would have been well regarded. There was no use getting upset for the inevitable! She may as well plaster a smile on her face and get pumped about all the new relations she could make.

Of course, there was a need for her to address the internalized elephant in the room. She did miss her customers, her friends... Maybe not her dad as much. The forced stay in the city wouldn’t have been minded so much if she was at least able to keep her phone and check up on everyone. Clicking the RFA application routinely throughout the day was practically like clockwork to her. Not being able to do such a thing was, well, disheartening. 

Still, she smiled as she strolled throughout the city. As she met the gaze of a few strangers her smile shifted from something small to a bright and cheerful grin. A bright, positive demeanor could help pick up even if she didn’t realize it. Her cheer 

Bright blonde billowing hair. For some reason she couldn’t quite pinpoint, Haeun was suddenly very unnerved.

   “..................................”

Nito Ranma was a very disciplined man. Having meditated for hours under frigid waterfalls and atop beds of glowing coals, he had fine-tuned his senses and abilities of self-control, to the point where nothing could possibly hurt him without clear harmful intent...and yet, he was not prepared for this city. For the experience of true poison, rolling off of someone’s chi in waves. It was...sickening.

Looking at the approaching woman with solid black eyes, the monk couldn’t even bring himself to smile, his usually-kind expression replaced with a stony wall of emotionless silence. She was so...perfect. She carried herself so elegantly, almost a reflection of the focused monks from back home...but the negativity rolled off of her in disgusting, evil waves.

This girl caught Hotarumaru’s attention quite quickly, she was wearing bright colourful clothes, different shades of pinks and yellows dressed the other girls body. While something like this wasn’t exactly new, seeing a certain other oodachi robed in extravagant furisodes, the style of clothes was something he has never seen.

  "Rika-chan?" Was she dreaming? This girl looks just like her friend from Hinamizawa. Without any warning given or any further thinking on how Rika came to the city, Rena glomped the younger bluenette and then twirled her in a circle.
