[Event Post] Kaikori: The Eye of the Storm

[duelacademynpcs]

::So anyone implicated with the disaster at Heartland City, you've been hurried away into Kaikori, the private gated community owned by the Wakahisa family.

It is a surreal place, caught in perpetual twilight. Resembling Ballonlea and Glimwood Tangle from Pokemon Sword & Shield, except the mushrooms are replaced with crystals growing out the ground and trees, it centers around a circle of shops and buildings including a convenience store, a gym, a small school to tutor the children of Noriko's friends and key employees, before branching out into company apartments to the south east, a motel and an inn to the west, and private homes in the North West to North to North East.

Perhaps you would like to take a break, interact with others, and breath before things likely get worse.

Fortunately, every time the government seems to come into Kaikori, they've been unable to locate Yamamoto Suzume, Wakahisa Noriko, or Mr. and Mrs. Tsukumo. So for now.

A piece of twilight paradise before things likely get so much worse.::

::Trot trot trot, in sneakers, wearing a light jacket and a fashionable skirt, a woman who feels like she passes for a teenager or 20 something at first glance walks by, doing some exercise.

You know that woman.::

*Kotori glances at her as she walks by, recognising her.*

Shiroko-san?

[whitrthanwhite]

::Turns.::

That's my name, don't wear it out.

Why are you two here???

::Blink blink blink.::

[longingfreesia]

We stopped a nuclear attack on Heartland and now we're wanted terrorists, it seems.

[whitrthanwhite]

Yeah, that's basically why I stopped anything resembling heroism and became a fashionista.

Nothing but trouble.

::Grumbles, hands on her hips.::

[longingfreesia]

Hmn. It's definitely not fun having our lives turned completely upside down, but neither of us could let Heartland become a complete wasteland.

*You notice that they definitely have been injured in the fight, though the injuries have been tended too, and they both look exhausted*

(2/2)

[kattobingore]

Yeah! Even if we knew this would happen, we still would've done something.
There's no way we would let people get hurt.

Re: (2/2)

[whitrthanwhite]

Which is a good thing to have! Having a moral center!

It just has a really bad habit of people blow backing and blaming you for shit.

... Man, though, you two should really take a vakay while you're here.

::Pointing at the obvious injuries.::

[longingfreesia]

Yeah. We're really lucky our injuries weren't worse than this. Thank goodness we're both more durable in our other forms. Though, to be fair, I don't think we can really do much else but take some downtime here anyway, with us being wanted 'criminals' and all.

[whitrthanwhite]

If you want to stretch your legs if the conveniences here aren't enough... well there are disguises you could wear, maybe.

But take a few days seriously to rest. Use the gym. Buy ice cream. Netflix and chill.

::Waves her hands.::

Join brunch with the moms around here, Kotori.

[longingfreesia]

For now, I think we have everything we could want here within Kaikori and we know we are safe here, so yeah, we'll just take the time to rest and recuperate.

*She gives her a warm smile.*

And once I feel more up to it, I'd definitely like to join brunch.

[whitrthanwhite]

I'll try and introduce you, just be prepared it's very banal.

And while I shouldn't make too many assumptions, once the injuries and burns let up, Yuma is it? The Gym has plenty of equipment you can use.

::Waves her hand.::

[kattobingore]

I've never really worked out at a gym, but hey, if they have stuff I can challenge myself with there, I'll check it out!!

[2/2]

[longingfreesia]

I'll apologize in advance if he builds some crazy challenge and then crashes into it.

Re: [2/2]

[whitrthanwhite]

He'll have to apologize to Noriko. Mrs. Wakahisa as she owns the gym. Maybe my mom, Violet, I think she also has a stake in it.

But insurance should cover it.

[longingfreesia]

Well, for now I don't think either of us are in the right condition to use it and might not be for a while.

[whitrthanwhite]

Right right... I can show you two around if it'd help, I'm just out on a walk.

::Chuckles awkwardly.::

[longingfreesia]

Sure! I think it would be good to know where everything is.

We just... might have to sit down now and then to rest.
