??? ?/? - ? [Fourth Wall Catch-All]

[ablankpage]

[Clove is around town for the two days. She can be found in the woods for part of the 25th, but the 26th, she'll stick around, try and see what's up with the new people. Migration of new people has been weird, but... this is something else.

She'll probably take up a sort of "camp" at the bakery. Because sweets and familiar setting.]



[Faith will continue her usual rounds, running errands. When she notices newcomers? Well, she'll do her best to help, and, come the second day, the table outside her apartment building is back outside, her stew pot ready and bread cooking inside.

She'll feed those who come looking for it.]



[Robert notices the change quickly. New people in quite a decent number, all of them quite different. So, well. He'll be speaking to as many as possible, trying to understand what is going on and why. Because of that, he'll be around almost anywhere in town.]



[Hikaru sees one thing with this: unfamiliar faces. Too many of them.

He'll still go out, but he'll mostly be found with Kaoru. Sometimes he might be a few feet from his brother but rarely more than that. He won't be too friendly, especially if his usual seats are taken by strangers.]



[Norman doesn't get out much. Maybe about an hour or two each day. His ribs are healing, and he's trying to keep moving a little bit, but... For the most part, he's still down for the count. If he's out and about? He'll be moving slow, being careful, and just maybe striking up a few conversations with the new "figments of imagination" or whatever the hell these things are.]


(Catch-all post for the fourth wall event! Anyone you want during the event, just tag here with that in the header, and I'll respond accordingly!)

[..................

This is not Kaoru. This is definitely not Kaoru.

But the one who is not him is Kaoru. But this isn't Kaoru. So this is...]

Who the hell are you?!

[It's perfectly timed, perfectly pitched. Which is actually what's terrifying.

So he jumps back.]

CLONE! CYBORG! DEMON!

[One of those things have to be true.]

[That's unnerving! Stop talking at the same time as him! In perfect synch, Hikaru is firing his own accusations, eyes wide.]

CLONE! BODYSNATCHER! ALIEN!

[In an effort to say something out of time...]

TOP-SECRET GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT?!

[Every word said in synch just freaks him out more.]

[hikaruorkaoru]

No! No, no, no, no.

I put up with wings! I AM NOT PUTTING UP WITH THIS!

[But there's nothing to do. It just keeps STARING at him. With its wrong hair and exact voice and winglessness.

There's nothing else to do. Nothing else he can hope for. So he does the one thing he has always been able to rely upon when he's in trouble:]

KAORU!!!!

Kaoru's probably still stuck on the ship, you know-nothing body-double! [He stands up in anger, pointing his finger in accusation at the clone.] Who the hell do you think you are?!
