-Amidst new visitor time, the vine has picked up another new person! One that... Well she doesn't quite look like a girl at first, but we're sure most of the viewers will assume she just has a boyish look. It's easier to imagine than the Queen suddenly bringing a boy.

She lays on the grass, seemingly unaware she's being watched. Her jacket is off, balled up behind her as a makeshift headrest. She has the scroll in her hand, and she just seems to be watching the sky...-

I think... I have a hangover...

-To say the least.-

I met a green chick. She was pretty nice.

Hey, um... is this real or am I just really really out of it. Because the scrolls feels real enough. And that sure is a blue sky. But everything else is just too bizarre. Help me out here, Hanako, I'm begging you.

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

... Really? [Wow she sure is lucky she ran into a bunch of normal girls. Seeing a green girl would definitely not have been good for her right after she first woke up.]

It is... I-I thought it was a dream to. But I've been here for a week already.

[drinkswithminors]

A week, huh... Guess I have no choice. Who was it that said that? If all other possibilities are removed, the only one remaining, no matter how unlikely, has to be true?

Anyways, I know I'm definitely hungover.

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

I'm not sure...

... Do you need help? I can show you where I'm staying... i-if you want, that is.

[drinkswithminors]

I guess you're living alone... Would it really be alright with me there?

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

Y-Yeah... It's fine. I don't really like being alone here... [It's one thing to be alone in somewhere that had become familiar to Hanako. But in a strange world surrounded by stranger people... that's totally different.]

But only if you want to! I-I won't make you stay...

[drinkswithminors]

I think I'd definitely prefer familiar company right now...

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

Okay. Um... [Well this is strange. She was able to pick up enough when Mami was showing her the way to the housing areas, but that doesn't mean much if she doesn't know where exactly Akira is.] I-I don't know how much I can help you finding your way here... but I'll try.

[drinkswithminors]

Someone's being kind enough to bring me water. So take your time, alright?

sudden switch to [action]!

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

[And take her time she does. Hanako feels bad, because Akira is waiting, but she can't help it. She's taking the less-frequented paths around the Gardens, of course. And she's careful to try and retrace her steps from her first day, before Mami found her.

She's doing her best to keep an eye out, but chances are, Akira will notice her before she notices Akira.]

[action]

[drinkswithminors]

-Certainly the case. Akira looks up from her spot on the knoll, waving over to Hanako.-

Yo! Hanako!

[action]

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

[Hanako jumps a little, but scurries over when she hears Akira call out. She's smiling, and her relief that there's finally a familiar face here is clear.]

H-Hey.... sorry I kept you waiting.

[action]

[drinkswithminors]

No problem, kiddo. -Akira stood up, letting out a groan as she stretched out and dusted herself off.-

Whelp! Take me on home, Hanako! Or wherever home may be in this case.

[action]

[onceburnedtwiceshy]

[And she begins heading back! Towards the direction of the apartments. Man, this sure has been a good week for exercise, considering how big this place is.]

It's a nice place... s-someone else showed it to me.

[action]

[drinkswithminors]

Yeah? I had gotten the impression that modern conveniences were something of an alien concept here, what with the scrolls and magic vines...
