@hanayumc ll starter call
kanna had heard! specifically overheard in class, how to summon a baku! all her classmates were talking about a monster that ate dreams or something of the sort and it immediately caught her interest!! even in her own world, the residents there were mostly dragons like herself.
cotton-ball tipped tail wags in hope, she doesn’t know the negative consequences of the act, instead repeating the phrase three times as instructed. kobayashi had been groaning in her sleep recently too, kanna knew– believed the baku could help her as well! maybe she could make a new friend at the same time, it didn’t matter to her whether they were human or not.
❛ you’re a small one. ❜
and not human, either. her tail, and horns definitely told him that the child looking being in front of him wasn’t human. still, that didn’t change much. humans and monsters alike, he could enter whatever dreams he liked.
❛ i wonder if i could eat you whole. ❜
he was behind her, appeared the moment she stopped chanting the words. his jaw stretched downwards, almost comically as if made of rubber, gauging if she’d fit in if he did that. luckily, it was only a joke, but he wondered if it’d scare the little monster.

❝ somehow, i’m not all that convinced. ❞
❛ it’s kind of hard when you don’t give me the chance to do so, right? —— i’m a baku !! y’know, the one that eats bad dreams !! — i’m harmless !! ❜

“ hello … i ’ m kurusu , akira . ” 𝚜𝚘 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚠𝚊𝚜 𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛 𝚎𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚘𝚢𝚎𝚎𝚜 … that would make this be his official debut . yesterday he showed up , && the manager taught him the ropes . he didn’t realize he’d be thrusted into this all on his own by the very next day … he felt 𝚊 𝚕𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚞𝚗𝚊𝚝𝚎 that this guy was here to brace his fall . metaphorically .
“ 𝚒𝚝 ’ 𝚜 𝚖𝚢 𝚜𝚎𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚍 𝚍𝚊𝚢 . ” the student clarified casually , hearing out the guy ; coming to understand the situation they are in . the manager hasn’t shown up yet today , it might just be them . “ … i think so . ” he wondered if his lack of surety pegged him as someone who didn ’ t pay much attention to current events . as a matter of fact , akira ’ s overly observational , but he only just got here …
❛ —— it’s only your second day?? ❜
wow, that’s cruel. true, the manager knew he’d also be coming in today, but to leave this kid alone the second day that they were on the job already, was perhaps a little harsh. managing the shop shouldn’t be too hard, but customers could often be a little overbearing or problematic in some cases. was this kid going to be alright?
❛ she must have confidence in your abilities if she just left you alone like this for today. do you have any prior experience? ❜
that’d explain why he was alone maybe. though, if he didn’t, he’d be a little concerned with his boss’s train of thought when she actually left him alone here.
❛ i’m matsuda. matsuda kei, but you can just call me kei. if you need to know anything or need help finding stuff, just ask me alright? i’m here to help after all !! ❜
❛ a-ah, i’m sorry, please don’t be concerned. it’s just ... i’m looking at animal rescue videos. they’re so wholesome. —— i promise i’m fine !! ❜

– she hadn’t realized the possibilities. all the names in her contact list are plain and simple ( beyond the occasional emoji additions ) , but she’s seen other lists be more creative.
yet what could he call her? her various nicknames run through her mind – fried chicken angel , cabbage, rin-rin -- but none seem suitable for this. ❝ oh, um … i don’t know, what should i name YOU ? ❞
❛ mmm i know i know !! i’ll just add you as rin-chan for now. nicknames are something you get over time after all right? ❜
and then, she asked the same of him. a nickname for himself? that ... wasn’t too hard to come up with.
❛ what about “ 🌸 Boy ” ? should be easy enough to remember me by too, ‘cause, y’know, the flower shop? ❜
not to be dramatic but my whole soul hurts
❛ ah, you’re new here, right? it’s not like i’m certain of that, but i’ve never seen you here before !! the owner — is she out right now? ❜

“ well, yes actually ”
it was funny, really - the concepts of dreams and tastes intertwining with one another. earth truly is full of many things… nu would have never given the thought of his own ‘ dreams ’ were it not for it. and KEI - of course.
a pout of the lips - thinking. he wondered briefly if it were ALWAYS so difficult to recount dreams.
“ i may not sleep very often…but i do have a habit to sleep deeply. very deeply. i think…my home. yes, yes, my home. ” a somber subject - yet no hint of distress was present in the boy’s voice. “ i would assume it was not ALWAYS so, but i cant remember if i even DREAMED before i left. does that make sense ? is that odd ? ”
❛ — i’m sorry. ❜
he didn’t think that the frist thing the other would speak of would be home, a place that no longer existed for the alien. then again, dreams often revealed how one truly feels about things. maybe it was only natural that he associated it with home the way he did.
he hesitated to speak about the subject. it was not his place to mingle with the troubles of others, but he did want what was best for his otherworldly friend.
❛ do you ... consider dreaming about home to be a bad thing? if you want, if you so request, i could take those dreams away from you, but —— ❜
he didn’t know how to finish that sentence. he didn’t know if what he proposed was even the best for the other, or if they even wanted that, but the offer stood, should mikitaka want to make use of it.
❛ —— is that really what you want? ❜

STARTER CALL !!
—— high in the sky, a pattern of clouds is dyed red like a burning flame, showing me the road i had lost that day. pursuing the wind that often blows in my dreams, i will go down in time, and along the riverside, i beheld a unknown flower of joy.

❛ whoa, whoa !! time out !! hold up —— —— i’m not here to hurt anyone i promise !! ❜
