[Karte 1; Action -- ditto on the easy listening music!]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

[The first reaction of the brown-haired little girl who had just arrived, after sitting up and blinking a few times to clear her vision, is to yawn and stretch out her arms. Was she hearing music? It was so relaxing that she felt like she was being sung a lullabye, relaxing and sweet enough to sleep to.]

A dream?

Is Pinoko dreaming...?

[She lies back down, rolling onto her side. She can feel the flower petals pressing against her skin, and the light breeze makes the flowers sway and her dress flutter.

After a moment, she blinks awake and sits up again, with a start!]

A-aaah! Pinoko's nightgown!

[She quickly stands up, frowning as she clutched fistfuls of fabric and raises the hem... but as she was so very short, her long trailing nightgown would usually go just a bit her toes when she pulls it.

Imagine her surprise when she manages to accidentally expose her underwear.

She quickly lets the much shorter dress fall back down, crossing her legs and turning very red.]

T-this isn't Pinoko's...!

[Just why is she wearing something she's never owned in some strange, if very pretty place, that she's never been to before?!

Unable to deal with her situation, she turns very red and looks like she's about to burst into tears, when... nothing happens. She just calms back down and resumes smiling, in a carefree manner, with a shrug to match.] Oh, well!

Time to go find Doc! I'm sure he won't be far... he wouldn't leave his wife all alone, right?

[She'll even whistle a happy tune (random at first, but soon, she's whistling to the tune of the unfamiliar song that she woke to) as she walks off, surprisingly calm about her situation.

She has yet to notice her things just beyond the vine, or even the presence of the cat, patiently waiting with a scroll in the flowerbed.]

I can't imagine there being more than one Doctor Black Jack... but I promise I'm not confused. The one I know is a woman.

Are they siblings...?

[1/2]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

D-Doc's never told me he had a shishter!

[2/2]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

[Pinoko looks worried for a moment, then smiles, with a shrug.]

Then again, there's a lot Doc's never told Pinoko about his family...

Could she be? Maybe! But, if she is, then Pinoko's gotta make a good impression!

She could be my shishter-in-law.

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

Maybe... [ Though she still thinks they're talking about the same doctor. ] We'll just have to find out.

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

[Well, she's still a bit wary about following this stranger to some place, but... maybe if she could prove the doctor— or his female twin sister or whatever— was there!]

Is there a phone or something? Maybe we could call her!

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

There is the Vine... but it seems troubling to newcomers.

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

The Vine?

Like a shtrawberry or grape vine? What's that got to do with it, Mish? [She frowned in confusion, folding her arms.]

Pinoko's looking to contact thish doctor, Mish, not tend to the gardens—

[She blinked, catching sight of something on the hem of her dress, before frowning.] Hair? [She brushed it off.] It looks like cat-hair! Do you have a cat, Mish?

[That poor cat, still waiting.]

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

... do you see that cat over there?

[1/2]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

Cat? [She blinks twice, looking genuinely confused.]

What cat?

[2/2; need to do something about my tense shifts. xD;;; ]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

[Then, she turns and spots the cat.]

Acchonburike! [She presses her cheeks in, looking surprised, then happily strolls back to the cat.] How did Pinoko not shee shuch a cute little kitty~?

Hi, kitty!

[Once it wanders over, she'll stroke its head and accept the scroll.] Hmm~? Build what?

[She continues to smile.] Shomehow, Pinoko thinksh she should be mad because thish Queen or whatever never ashked Pinoko's permisshion, but... it's shuch a lovely garden!

Pinoko can tend to the flowers.

[it's no prob!]

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

... You're taking this rather well!

[x3]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

Do you have a letter like thish too?

Can Pinoko shee?

[If she was also chosen by this Queen, that must mean she's not the kidnapper! Well, unless she knew someone would ask her that and came prepared with a fake letter, but hey. Pinoko's a nurse, not a detective!]

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

[ She'd pull the letter from the folds of her kimono and show it to her. ]

That's right!

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

[That must mean she's been taken here just like Pinoko! Admiring her own brilliance, Pinoko strolled confidently after Kohaku.] Lead me to the Doctor!

[maiderer.livejournal.com]

It would be my pleasure!
