“Just about. A new phenomenon has arisen and we have to investigate it. It’s always that isn’t it. Everyone on Cray is glad I’ve returned though some of the Units were worried I wouldn’t as there’s something strange going on with some of the Units. That’s one of my duties right now. The Unit I’m going to talk with may or may not have been involved…I only hope they can give more information.”

“It kind of always is.” He brings a hand up to muffle his laugh. “That’s what I get for having a professional friend, right? With a job and everything.” He smiles up at you, a bit teasing. “Although I didn’t expect it would be something like this. Maybe an office job or something. Imagine you with one of those.... In a salaryman suit and everything.”

He sobers up when you say that, though. “Something strange? Please elaborate?”

why is tumblr treating me like a tiny criminal. why are all my things gone

“I guess so. I didn’t really notice that either…But it was a good change of pace.

Gained a new form…I believe is the term. We’re supposed to be helping out with a new fighter…Well, I can’t exactly say “new” as he’s already saved both our worlds before. Aichi and I felt his presence…We felt his image in the times we both were called on.”

“Thank you, Io. Glad to be back home. Though…I was with Aichi wherever he went so…I did see quite a lot. Maybe a little…Though the Units there were the same. There are a lot of strong fighters and all of them seem passionate about Vanguard just as the other fighters in Japan.”

Well, I notice. I guess one of us has to, because sometimes I don’t think you don’t notice much if it’s not about Aichi-san ne. Someone has to check crosswalks for you. 

Mm. I remember your last one. This one is more.... it suits you. It’s closer to your own usual colours. 

[tipping his head back, considering quietly.] Mm. You know his name? Is that Chrono-san’s Vanguard?

Ah, that sounds very cool. I haven’t been to America yet, but I hear they have a very wide sky. And colder weather, mostly, than we do. You’ve come home in time for the cherries, though. It’s blooming everywhere. 

Were the other Units surprised to see you all the way over there?

[koizaki-io]

legend-blaster-exceed:

“She wants a snack…? Though…I have to stay here. I’m awaiting a response from another Unit…”

Ah, you’ve come back and immediately work started again for you, that’s how it is. Is everyone on Cray glad to see you back, too?

[koizaki-io]

legend-blaster-exceed:

“You should know by now that’s how I am. It’s a habit of mine.

I do feel ready this time. But I believe we’ll be a support instead of a main. Fight by helping on the sidelines.

We had to do quite a lot back in America in the first place, sorry if we left without any warning. At least everyone’s back now.”

[His brows shoot up, after a second, and a smile spreads across his face, honestly pleased.] It is. But look at you! America did change you, you’re smiling now. You never did, before. It was good for you. 

 [a nod.] Having less pressure is good, honestly. Even though you’ve-- [waving a hand to your outfit, apparently unable to describe it.] --leveled up again. [shakes his head.] It’s fine. I knew, anyway, because I had to go back to school, of course. Welcome home, though. [inclining his head, trying his best to be polite, but he’s fighting back a smile.] 

 You have to tell me about America ne. Aichi-san was at Yale, that has its own history, were you able to look around? Can you speak English now? Are the fighters strong there?

[koizaki-io]

......Blaster Blade-san, we have to go buy Misaki-san some grapes. 

[koizaki-io]

legend-blaster-exceed:

“I did. It was quite a long trip from America to Japan with my Vanguard. Though there’s more serious matters we have to attend to. Seems our duties are never done.”

“How have you been?”

You can just say Aichi-san, you know. I know who your Vanguard is. [a pause.] Unless you borrowed Kai-san for a bit again. 

[puffing out his cheeks.] Again? Well, it explains the cape. D’you feel ready for it?

[giving that all due thought.] I’ve been fine. It’s been a bit boring without you guys, you know? So quiet.

[white-haired-shota-blog]

koizaki-io Misaki-san, is that proper anymore now that you’re all grown up?

Are you implying that I’m not allowed to have a harem?

[koizaki-io]

………….[meekly] Absolutely not, Misaki-san, you can have whatever you want. Should I wear a filmy gauze thing? Do you want grapes?

[white-haired-shota-blog]

Grapes sound good.

[koizaki-io]

I’ll get you some. 

Everyone’s all gathered up again? Have you seen Ren-san yet?

[koizaki-io]

legend-blaster-exceed:

“Been a while hasn’t it…Io.”

[there you are. some tension in him clearly unravels.]

Mm, it has. [cracking his knuckles, idly.] Had a nice sleep?

[white-haired-shota-blog]

[koizaki-io]

.............[meekly] Absolutely not, Misaki-san, you can have whatever you want. Should I wear a filmy gauze thing? Do you want grapes?

[koizaki-io]

Who told Aichi-san about video games.

[blaster-aichi]

Io-kun thinks I’m old and uncool…

[koizaki-io]

Aichi-san, you’re very cool.

....In Vanguard.

[koizaki-io]

This blog is so old all my links broke. I don’t know how but please bear with me while I try to retrieve all of my information and also get back up running.

[nails up a Improving For Your Convenience sign]

[koizaki-io]

Who told Aichi-san about video games.

[dragontimebeast]

“Yeah. I am from Gear Chronicle. 

Oh…I guess I should be more careful then? Or cling to someone?”

[koizaki-io]

Then, it’s very nice to meet you. I’m a Genesis Vanguard, if you’re wondering. Wisdom Keeper Metis-san is my avatar.

[nodding.] That might be a good idea. Blaster Blade and Blaster Dark-san know how to disguise themselves here too, so you could ask them. 

[a pause.] Blaster Dark-san might be better at it.

[dragontimebeast]

“I’m Chrono Dran. I’m keeping myself…Disguised I guess?”

[koizaki-io]

Ah, so you’re Chrono Dran. [a thoughtful pause.] Gear Chronicle, right?

[trying not to smile.] The floating is making you stand out. Most of us here can’t float.

[dragontimebeast]

“…? Who are you?”

[koizaki-io]

[blinking. well, you’re a Unit.]

I’m Io. Who are you? [reaching a gentle hand up to brush away that cloth you’ve got wrapped around you.] Why are you wearing this?

[dragontimebeast]

I wonder…How was I called here?

[koizaki-io]

Excuse me... Are you lost?

[--you’re not a child.]

--Ah!
