video // action locked to the people at the volo dorms

[invoker]

[The feed begins and the image that appears on screen is that of a red headed woman, her normally fearsome demeanor tempered slightly by the haziness having been brought back to consciousness after a period of particularly deep sleep. Mitsuru takes a deep breath and starts speaking]

I apologise for anybody who was looking to get into contact with me, I fell asleep.

[That explanation would suffice for now. Surely the people who had been here long enough did not need more than that. She continues to address the network.]

Now that I have awakened, there are things that I need to tend to. Starting with the most mundane.

[Mitsuru's normally perfectly coiffured red hair is now longer and in need of attention.]

... I require assistance with my hair. It is longer than I would like and requires some tending to. Preferably at the hands of a professional. I would hope Vatheon has someone with those skills and are willing to assist me. Thank you.

[The feed ends.]

---

[Mitsuru's quietly sitting in the lounge of the dorms, slowly getting used to the idea of being awake. Being asleep for such long periods of time is something she could never ever manage and for now staying awake is a task in itself.

There's a full cup of tea on the table in front of her, untouched and undrunk. She prepared it just a moment ago so the steam is still rising steadily from it. All signs point to drinking that tea being a good idea but Mitsuru's simply choosing to look at it as if she were in a daze. She could tell many things had happened while she was asleep so she was going to wait to hear an explanation from someone she trusted.

For the time being, Mitsuru's just going to have a staring contest with her teacup, as if she'd be able to divine some knowledge from it. Just like the mystics, except she doubted that the mystics used earl grey. Not like she was expecting any actual knowledge from it, but rather it was a game she was going to play to get herself to stay awake.]

If it's a hairstylist you need, I can help you out there.

[invoker]

[Well that was prompt.]

It's nothing major, but the ends need seeing to.

[aspiring]

Well, either way, if it's a professional you need, I most certainly am one. I have a salon in this place, actually.

[invoker]

... Thank you, I appreciate it. Where would I be able to find you?


(( ooc: Would you like to log this or should we just handwave that Mitsuru had her hair done by Billy? ))

[aspiring]

It's on the border of the Middle District and the Lower District near [random buildings/landmarks go here].

[ooc: Either is fine by me! Whichever works for you.]

[Yukari is pretty excited to see the video feed!

She's known people who have fallen asleep like she has, and she has even fallen asleep herself, yet it's no less of a relief to see them wake up again. She sees the background of the feed and recognizes it immediately, dashing out of her room and down the stairs.]

Senpai!

[tsundyne]

[...She might even be panting a little. But then she calms, breathing deeply before taking glancing over her from top to bottom.

Then back to the top again.]

...It could be worse.

[She grins a little, focusing on her hair now. Normally she'd be appalled at seeing her senpai in such a state, but...well, now she's just glad to see her again period.]

[invoker]

[It takes her a moment, but she laughs. The sound feels strangely alien to Mitsuru. Well, she hasn't used her voice in a long while, it would be, wouldn't it? A laugh most especially, but it sounds natural at the very least.]

It can be saved. I'm sure of it.

[But she's smiling.]

[tsundyne]

[The smile is warm and as familiar as ever, even though it's been a while. Yukari simply nods to agree, as she looks around the lobby; and the nshe spots something on the nearby table and grabs it.

It's a brush.]

At least let me comb it out for you, okay?

[She's not exactly a hair stylist, but she can at least do this much.]

[red_medic]

[Ah, that sleep-phenomenon. It seems to happen every now and then.]

Vell. You voke up again.

[Not commenting on the hair, though. Nope.]

[Video]

[invoker]

Ah, Herr Medic. I'm glad to see you are well.

[Thank goodness for that, but it's not like Mitsuru would have minded even if you did. You're a familiar face and it's always a delight to see those after a long absence.]

Re: [Video]

[red_medic]

I am.

[He adds a nod]

Zhough I vould lie to claim I had not been vondering about your vhereabouts.

[invoker]

[Her face forms into an apologetic frown.]

I apologise for having caused you to worry. I'm fine now, as you can see. I just simply slept for a long time. It is nothing more than that, and hopefully I shall be staying awake.

[She finally brings herself to smile.]

But please, tell me how have you been?

[Action] bb

[twiceinhabited]

...Kirijo?

[Amane wonders if she's intruding, with how lost in thought Mitsuru looks.]

[action]

[invoker]

Oh!

[The voice was enough to snap Mitsuru out of her reverie, and she looks up from her tea cup.]

Amane. Hello. How have you been?

[action]

[twiceinhabited]

I've been doing fine.

[What, with mentally getting over that April's Fools and related worries. At least her boyfriend woke up from the sleep coma.]

...And you?

[perma-action]

[invoker]

I've just woken up from a rather... long sleep.

[She brushed a stray strand of hair from her face. It was very hard to read Amane on most days but Mitsuru was still determined to know the girl better. Gesturing to the seats, she indicates that Amane should sit down with her.]

[Action!] I promsied hugs

[messianic]

[Minato happens to be walking back into the dorm not long after her broadcast. It's a common thing, him staying out all day before returning, and it has been back home and here as well.

But when he sees her sitting there, he tilts his head and wanders closer, hands in his pockets.]

...What does the future hold?

[: |b if you're gonna be staring into a cup of tea like that--]

[action] yes hugs I like hugs

[invoker]

[So concentrated she was in thought that she didn't even notice when Minato had walked into the lounge.]

That I stay awake.

[Delicately, she reaches forward to take a sip of that tea. Refreshing. As Mitsuru places the cup down, the smile on her face widens.]

It's a pleasure to see you.

[action]

[messianic]

[He bows his head slightly.]

I'm okay with that future.

[And psh, screw it, he'll just pull his hands from his pockets and give her a quick hug.

With people leaving, it's always a relief when the people he's close to are around...

Especially when he didn't think he would ever get to see her again.]

It's good to see you awake, senpai.

[action]

[invoker]

[Mitsuru's not a very touchy-feely person. But she will always make exceptions for Minato, and she accepts the hug as gracefully.

That was strangely reassuring. She's not going to complain.]

I'm glad to be awake. How have you been?

video

[undie_boss]

Man, what's with all these long sleeping periods? What is this, sleeping beauty?

Anyway, I'm pretty good at hair myself. [ yes, he's admiring himself in a mirror. ] I could always give out some amazing advice and help. [ unless you want your hair to be even brighter and probably spiked, stay away D: ]

video

[invoker]

Do you style your own hair then? It's very much unique to say the least.

[If you touched Mitsuru's hair in that manner, she is probably going to execute you.]

video

[undie_boss]

Of course~. Only in the best way, of course

[invoker]

...

[She's simply going to smile and continue the conversation as if nothing ever happened.]

My name is Mitsuru Kirijo. Are we acquainted?
