First Feather ƸӜƷ Action / Voice

[Early this nice morning, Kohaku had woken up very confused, with a whole jumble of new-ish memories. She didn't even start to walk around until she figured out how to make new holes in the back of her clothes again. But once she did, she found herself looking around the forest looking like a kid on Christmas morning. Oddly excited, oh so very curious, but very, very lost and confused. And instead of trying to remember anything so suddenly, she looks up to the tree she had been placed under.]

Might you know why I'm here? [The journal may not pick up any other sound than the wind, but Kohaku got one loud and clear.] Oh...that sounds familiar...Thank you.

[Once she got her answer, nothing else is heard over the journals. Instead she has started to roam, and memories of the forest had mostly came back to her as she almost instinctively finds her way to the village. Though by that time, she has already gathered a few friends.

As she walk around, it's almost impossible to not notice the pretty red birds. Each on one shoulder. And a bunny she's holding, carrying it ontop of her journal. Talking to them, and asking questions quite often. But she does have that confused look of a new feather, but at least not the clothes. Just don't mind her staring at you as you walk by, since she is trying her best to remember people now.

Eventually though, later in the day she can be found situated very neatly by the fountain, under a tree. Yes, sitting in the snow, still watching people, but she's finally remembers the most important thing. The book she's been carrying around all day!]

Uhm....hello? If I'm remembering this right, people can hear me!

I've been gone a very long time, but everything looks familiar so it might be longer for me than it was here. I would really like to know if some of my friends are still here, if that's not too much trouble.

...

Oh no, wait! I'm sorry, I'm supposed to introduce myself first... [She figures it's a bit too late, she she lets out an almost depressed sigh.] My name's Kohaku...I guess it's obvious I was here before now...

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[That reaction makes her laugh a little.]

I fell in love with a human, and disobeyed his orders to stay in Heaven...I also didn't do anything when Shuichiro caught Usyagi.

... You may want to expand a bit on that if you don't mind. Because right now I feel like punching your bosses.

You falling in love was a bad thing?!

[No really, what's this madness.]

Oh, alright.

I had two jobs on Earth, one to find an Archangel, and one to grant a wish to Shuichiro who had saved me. Eventually I ran out of time to find Madam Hisui, and I didn't want to go back, and we trapped one of Gods messangers, but eventually I was found and made to go back to Heaven. But I didn't want to stay there for long, and went back to Earth without permission...then I found out too late why God wanted me back in Heaven, but it was too late...Shuichiro died the next night.

I got in a lot of trouble for lying, and not following the rules. But my punishment was to sleep for a hundred years until he was reborn. Now I just can't go back to Heaven, but that's alright.

Ah... Geez, you should explain things a bit more Kohaku. For a second your God sounded like an asshole rather than a stubborn jerk.

[The last part isn't said with real intention as an insult, really. But your God could have told you from the start... And that bit about not being able to go back at all sucks. But Ikki doubts it really bothers her if she can be with the person she loves.

Ikki resumes the walk to the apartment.]

So now every time Shuichiro dies you go to sleep until he is reborn?

I didn't mean for it to sound that way...He was very nice, and everyone thought I was one of his favorite angels.

[She thinks that him not tellling her about Shuichiro was much nicer than if he would've.]

No, just that one time. Sometimes it would be nice if I could, but I have to take care of the house and garden.

I know you didn't and I can say he's not an asshole. At most just overprotective.

[It was nicer, Ikki admits that, but still he could have said something to show that he was mindful of her feelings.]

So you just live on, alone until he is reborn? Or you don't even get to meet him then?

Overprotective sounds right.

[Well he told everyone else to be quiet about it?]

So far I've met him every time he's come back. But yes, I am alone until then, but I don't mind. I choose it.

All alone? Don't you have any friends? Or make new friends meanwhile?

[Ironic that Ikki asks about that, but it's just because Kohaku really doesn't strike him as the type that would enjoy solitude like he does.]

I have a few, yes. But it's hard to explain why I don't get any older. So most of my time I take care of the garden.

[She has Mr. Bear, and his friends, though she really would like more friends she could talk to.]

If it's hard to explain it just don't do it. It's none of their business and you have a right to have privacy.

But that would be rude...I already have a hard enough time remembering not to correct someone when they think I'm a girl...

It's not rude if you just say something like "Everyone asks me that!" or "I wonder that too!" if someone says how you don't grow older or asks about it.

[He looks at you.]

How should people consider you if not as a girl? I mean when talking with others about you. Calling you an it feels wrong. And "the angel" only works for those who know that.

But that would only work for so long.

[Waait. She never thought of that...]

...Then just use my name? I don't know.

You overestimate how much people actually care about those things.

[Or is he the one underestimating it?]

Even if we just use your name, it will end being weird in a conversation. "Kohaku came back to day, I talked with Kohaku through the journals when Kohaku made a message and we met to go get food for Kohaku and some other groceries."

You think so? But people always seem to care about how they look.

[She doesn't understand why people wanna look younger, when she would be happy to look just a little older.]

You're right, that is weird...it's just that I'm not used to being called a girl or boy.

They do, but not so much about others. And even then if they ask I bet they are too busy envying you for not growing older to pay attention to your answer.

[Well, he doesn't understand why people want to live forever when he would be happy if he could die and stay dead.]

I get that, but humans don't have many ways to talk about people and things without labeling them. We put names to rivers and seas, that just shows how bad we have it.

Envy me?

[Yeah, that doesn't happen very often.]

I understand that, it's just something that is still strange to me.

Because you don't seem to grow older while they do.

[He shrugs.]

I guess you'll have to get used to it someday, or we find another way around it. I guess I could ask Kotomi if she knows of a way to talk about someone who doesn't have a gender.

But looking older isn't a bad thing.

I suppose getting used to it would be the best...but it's still hard to do.

It's not, but there are people who don't agree with that.

[Ikki scratches his head and moves to walk besides her, awkwardly patting her head a bit.]

You will manage, you're a clever and understanding g... Angel.

[He will try to not use female pronouns when around her, at least not out loud.]

Really? Why?

[She just can't understand it everybody gets old, so it can't be helped...And at the head pat, and correction he gets a laugh.]

You can say girl. I have to get used to it.

Beats me. If I could understand people I would deal with them more often.

[Not that he even wants to understand them.]

Hn, I guess you're right. See, you're clever, you can do it.

Oh...[That's not all that helpful.]

I'll try my best.

[He knows it's not.]

I'm sorry, I'm not helpful. Why don't you ask Smoker? He may know.

[Then again he may not, they aren't that different after all.]

Alright, I'll ask him later.

[Since you've got her curious.]
