黒い砂へようこそ ❝ WELL, SHE SAID YES. This was probably not going to end in disaster, but at the same time this was Nemuri exposing the poor thing to her collection of weirdos and freaks, so hey! All aboard the crazy train. Her smile was wide and delighted as she reached into her jean pockets and pulled out her cellphone and swiped to the screen where she could add contacts. "Excellent. Here, plug your number into my phone, and I'll add you to a chat with the lot of us. Warning, there's no profanity filter, and, uh," her smile turned slightly sheepish, "If you haven't noticed yet, I cuss. A lot. So. Sorry?"
It wasn't like she was talking to her sister here. Still, it felt weird to curse in front of such a sweet and innocent looking thing like Miku. Had she slipped up since they started talking? She'd been careful but...
...there was a more important thing she was forgetting.
"Oh, and all of us have Quirks. I'm going to guess that's fine with you, since, y'know, U.A and heroics, but I figure I might as well warn you ahead of time. We do get looks sometimes." Nemuri scoffed lightly as she handed her phone to Miku so she could put her number in. "I've learned to ignore it. Have you?"MADE BY MINNIE OF FTS & GS |

Nemuri then offered Miku her phone. To which Mku took it and added her number in her phone. Nemuri also warned her about profanity, which made Miku chuckle
"Yea, I get that a lot. I'm 15 and people dont like cussing around me. Im not quite sure why. But doont worry about it. Just be yourself"
And then strangely Nemuri said how everyone had Quirks. Why did she feel to warn her about that? She didnt understand. But then Nemuri specified that it was because of the looks she'd get from people
"Oh that...umm..I guess nobody would really dare to look at me the wrong way, since in a way I had a guard dog always nearby if anyone just so dared to blink at me the wrong way. I mean, now he isnt here because he finally let me grow up and fly the nest or something. But I guess Im just not used to any funny looks. Im not sure if anyone would try that now"
Its because He was there to intimidate anyone who tried to mistreat her. But now she was with Nemuri and her friends. She didnt quite know if anyone would give her funny looks now that she was with Nemuri or would they mind their own business. She just gave Nemuri her phone back and wondered what could happen at the festival

黒い砂へようこそ ❝ "IT'S PROBABLY YOUR FACE. You have a very innocent look to you. Whether or not you're actually innocent I have no idea but, hey, milk it for what it's worth?" Nemuri took her phone back with a grin that said she was clearly kidding around, though there was some truth to her words mixed in. Miku looked like the sort of girl you wanted to keep safe from every bad thing out there. Which made her profession, and her past, pretty shocking. It might also explain why that villain had spared her in the first place; maybe he'd been unable to bring himself to hurt her. Was cuteness an ability?
Miku brought up her kidnapper again just as Nemuri was thinking about him. Hm. So whoever it was, they looked intimidating enough to scare off potentially racist (Quirkist?) remarks towards her, which was good and bad in different ways. Nemuri made a mental note of that.
"They might. There are some real assholes out there. When I was setting up my shop and had announced that my Quirk would be used as one of the services, I got a fair amount of hate for it." Her eyes went downward, not-so-fond memories coming back to mind, but she brushed them off with a shrug of her shoulders. "Still, it's been three years, and the worst we've ever had is people who come in and tell us that what I'm doing is a 'freak show' or 'disgusting'. No bricks through the windows or anything violent. Just jerks being jerks. I figure they would have found another person and another reason to be a twat if we hadn't been available for them to yell at."
The train station was only a block or so away now, and the crowds were beginning to thin as the clouds above began to grow darker. Nemuri would probably get rained on on the way back, but eh. She'd suffer it.
"And hey, times are changing. Most kids these days have Quirks. I'm sure they'll either realize they're on the wrong side of history and shut up, or all the haters will die out within another generation or two."

She has an innocent look to her? Well, she heard that about...a million times. She didnt mind it though. Miku wanted to say that her kidnapper actually tried to keep her that way, but decided not to. She didnt want to burden Nemuri any more.
She listened to Nemuri as she spoke about some terrible racist like remarks she once had when she was setting up her shop. And she was right, jerks were just being jerks. While talking and walking,she noticed that the train station was getting closer and closer, which meant that the time for goodbyes was coming soon
"Hmm...I guess you're right. Still,...it's incredible how the world was before. Quirkless. Times change, but I'm not sure if its for the better or worse."
Thinking what Nemuri said "or all the haters will die out within another generation or two.", Imagining the world of just people with Quirks. What would that be like? So far things still seem disorganized and new. But the future,...Miku hopes it would be good, because from some things she heard, she was scared it would become something bad

黒い砂へようこそ ❝ JUST AS THE PAIR REACHED THE STATION, the first few drops of rain began to tap-tap-tap against the metal awning over the stairs. Nemuri looked upwards with a slightly raised brow as she walked upwards. "Ah, shit, I need to work on my timing." Looking back to Miku she gave the girl a once-over before asking, "Do you have an umbrella, or something? It's probably raining in Musutafu, too." She didn't mind getting rained on on her way back to the cafe, but she wasn't the one with a long walk.
The station wasn't as crowded this time of day, but there were still a few crowds of people scattered about. Some were clearly just escaping the rain for a while, others were waiting by the tracks for the next train to come. Nemuri stopped at the top of the stairs and looked through the crowds. It wasn't that she was on high alert here in a public place, but what little she did know about Miku's villain kidnapper still made her consider that he could be nearby. Yay, paranoia.
"Well, this is where I get off and you get going," she smiled at Miku again, waving her hand with her cellphone held between three fingers, half-waving and half-gesturing to it, "I'll add you to the chat so we can hash out details for the festival. My friend Sohma has a car, so if you don't want to take the train at night, we can come pick you up and drive out? Either way we'll probably stay later than the trains run, so don't worry about getting back to the dorms. We can drive you. Or you can crash at the cafe, if you feel comfortable with that?"

Miku looked up as well and wondered will it rain. Her suspicious were confirmed when Nemuri asked her if she had an umbrella
"Um no... I didnt think it'd rain. But then again, I knew I shouldnt have trusted the weather forecast" Miku explained
But mentioning the weather forecast just reminded her of a funny situation when she was being escorted to middle school
~Flashback~
Miku got her stuff ready for school. She walked up to her guardian or better yet kidnapper, who had a phone in his hand looking at the weather app. He opened the door, looked at the weather and then looked back at his phone
"Yo! The weather app said that there were clear skies" he then tossed his phone and raised his hands in the air as he stood at the doorway looking at the rain "DOES THIS LOOK CLEAR TO YOU!?!? CUZ ALL I SEE IS SOME MOTHERFUCKING RAIN!!!!" Thunder roared in the distance
~Present~
Just remembering the crazy and over the top reaction and remembering his gangster like voice or accent made her chuckle. Miku thought how that's probably his default reaction to the wrong forecast. It was a curse. She loved and hated him. He gave her one too many fond memories.
Soon it came for the two girls to split ways. She waved to Miku with her phone and said how she'll add Miku to chat
"That sounds great! Im sure we'll arrange things over chat!" Miku happily said as she waved back to Nemuri
This sure was an odd encounter. Miku never thought she'd meet a new friend in a cafe. And an adult at that!

黒い砂へようこそ ❝ "I'LL SEE YOU AROUND, THEN."
With a smile, Nemuri turned back to the stairs and began descending them, hands in her pockets and a generally good feeling in her chest about this whole thing. Sure, Miku still had a villain likely after her to some degree. That would take longer than a single meeting to settle. Other than that, though, she'd met a nice girl who she could introduce to her friends and hopefully get to open up a little more. She remembered being fifteen and not knowing what she was doing, and she didn't have the pressures of this shiny new "hero" profession on her.
What would that be like, huh. Being a real, honest to God hero.
When she grows up, I bet I can ask her all about it. Kayda, too, soon enough.
Once she reached the bottom of the stairs Nemuri pulled out her phone and began to message her staff one at a time, telling them about their new friend who would be joining them for fun times at the festival. Everyone's reactions were as she expected. Misuzu was thrilled about meeting somebody new. Sohma only responded with an "ok", but then Riku took a little longer to respond. When he finally did, it gave Nemuri pause as she went down the rainy street.
[TEXT] Rikkun: U sure bout this? Wat if her stalker shows up?
Nemuri sighed and ducked under another awning to respond.
[TEXT] Kurosuna: Then we handle it. Right now she needs us around. If something bad happens, we're in a crowd. We scream. Get cops involved.
[TEXT] Rikkun: and if u or us or Kay gets hurt?
"..."
[TEXT] Kurosuna: Let's talk about it in person. See you soon.

Graded. Results: - Nemuri - 52 EXP
- Miku - 32 EXP
Your thread was a fun read. I especially enjoyed the tension that hung in the air when the conversation shifted towards G. It did feel like Miku's confession came out of left field a little, but the way you tho handled it was great. A little EXP was deducted here and there because of too few words in posts but it wasn't anything major. I look forward to seeing Miku hanging out with Nemuri and Black Sand's staff again!
Til next time.
