I wonder if anybody could tell me something. [he sweeps back his hair from his face, revealing a strikingly pretty face even from a world where everybody seems suspiciously handsome,] has anybody seen a girl that looks.... [he shrugs, half-grimacing as if to himself,] like a female version of myself?

She answers to the name Chrome.

Oh, and while we're at it- does anybody know if this place has any.... ~cherry blossom trees~? Or at least a good place for an owl to roost.

- Community Cleanup Efforts in Sector 4 Continue Today, City Still Tallying Damages

Most of today’s headlining news concerns the aftermath of the phenomenal attack of a creature from another dimension. Hospitals have admitted over 75 injured persons, and most of them have confirmed that they did see a large red monster and strange technicolor hallucinations.

Other running theories for the disaster still include fluctuations in Core activity, an alien life force released from a pod in an underwater sea vent, or a respawned spore cloud of the hallucinogenic puffball mushroom fungus which was reportedly eradicated from the Port as of last October.

Governor Townshed, as usual, made public statement on the gloomy affairs of repairing infrastructure, estimating damage totals which will definitely see tax hikes in the coming year. The price of locally raised beef and some summer vegetables can be expected to double. The water treatment plant is first on the list of things to get back up and running, then transportation systems. Port residents can expect the return of desalinated tap water within 48 hours. Until then, the city recommends staying hydrated with bottled drinking water.

Volunteer crews, particularly those with heavy lifting or construction-related powers, are wanted for community cleanup and will be meeting at the site of the wrecked depot at Last Stop (Station 31) at 9am to divide into labor teams. The Dog’s Breakfast Pub is offering free cold draft beer and a dozen chicken wings to anyone who participates in helping clear debris from the streets from 9 to 5. Must bring name tag from the clean-up site.

[Souji is sitting outside and it's a pretty nice day out.]

I was thinking of spending an afternoon at the lake. Would anyone like to join? We could bring lunch too.

[ The echo of sirens fading into the night air is just audible, as scrambling hands tap at NV interfacing - and while one may catch glimpses of the owner and its surroundings, it's really far too dark to make out anything distinguishable. ]

Really, what is-- [ Grr. ] I haven't the damnedest idea what I'm doing...

[ Her breathless muttering drawls into a worried sigh, and the view of faint lights and colors goes for a whirl once more as she stumbles -- grabs for a door to barricade herself behind. The lighting is better there, and to those well familiar with the area might recognize the concrete dug-out at the field. 

She settles agaisnt the wall, slightly more at ease as she takes a better look at the device she holds. It's broadcasting, she realizes with a wide blink, and recomposes herself slightly whilst pressing a palm to the side of her mussed hair. ]

Ah! It's working, after all, is it... Well, I-- I intended to reach a personal contact, though I'm highly doubtful that I've managed. This isn't a device I'm familiar with.

Really, I've no idea why I'm out here again. I was simply attempting to find an escort home, before my nephew noticed anything was amiss.

[Hiccup is busy. It's not often one gets to see him so engrossed in doing things. He appears to be threading something together, maybe even reinforcing the edge of the saddle that usually stays on the dragon's back. As a few more stitches are made, he stops, checking over his work.

It's not long before the Viking boy will find himself with company. A large black shape slinks in behind him, large green eyes glancing over at the NV-rock before the dragon peers over at Hiccup.

The boy doesn't appear to notice, muttering to himself as he goes back to sewing.

Toothless peers over his arm for a few seconds, then pulls back. It's not long before he does so again, this time having come around the other side.

Without looking up, Hiccup wrinkles his nose.]

Toothless– hey. What are you–

[Green eyes glance to one side, then the other.]

–I'm sorta in the middle of finishing this–

[Big green eyes stare at him a moment before Toothless pulls his head back again. Maybe he's leaving Hiccup alone to finish up?

Seconds pass as Hiccup blinks, checking either side once more. Although slightly puzzled, he eases himself back into his sewing.]

...Okay. Good boy.

[It's several minutes before the dragon reappears. This time he settles his chin over Hiccup's head. From here he watches a while, and it becomes apparent just how comfortable he's gotten as he yawns and closes his eyes.

And as Hiccup finds himself hunched under the weight of the dragon's head, he sighs. This makes sewing impossible.]

Really?
