Day 241 [OPEN] - Wakeup call

[scary_music]

Who: Ibuki Mioda and whoever!
Open: Open forever
When: Day 241, very early in the morning
Where: Around the Monument.
What: Ibuki Mioda arrives at the Bastion... loudly.
Format: Log, but willing to switch to other formats!
Warnings: Scary ghost! 2 spooky!

It was just only becoming daylight at the Bastion when a new arrival would show: A young lady with wild hair. There was nothing particularly extraodinary about her, unless one was to notice the "horns" on her head; but that was only her hair styled to resemble such a feature.

She looked a bit confused and travel-worn; but a one hour walk was really nothing to her. Ibuki was far from exhausted.

And now that she arrived at what appeared to be civilization, where should she go? The apparent center of the village seemed like a good start.

"Yoohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?!" she shouted once she reached the Monument, apparently having no regard for people who may still be sleeping, "Hellooooooooooooooooooooo?! Is anybody here?!"

If nobody came out to answer, she'd have to start invading buildings...

[Edit: Now that she's been given the lowdown on the situation, ... you can still feel free to come across her being loud. Ibuki wants to meet new people!]

[Edit of nostalgic regret: This was before I had Ibuki use -chan and made up weird nicknames instead...]

IBUKI IS NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES!!!!!

[And into the hospital they go]

[windgod]

[The hospital itself was...as you might expect, outfitted exactly like a hospital. The air smelled sterile, everything looked sanitary, and it was abandoned at the moment, giving a certain stillness to the building. By the time Ibuki managed to get Ippo into a room and set up on a table, she'd get to notice one of the hospitals more unique aspects. The wound on his head was already two inches smaller than before, as if it hadn't been quite so bad...and it was getting even smaller each second that passed.]

See? The hospital...it's special somehow, it makes the healing process go by a lot faster than normal...give me another 10 minutes and I should be right as rain!

[scary_music]

... Huh.

...

[scary_music]

I still would've ran you over here, even knowing that!

[Because what if he fell on the way or something!]

[windgod]

I appreciate it!

[He definitely sounded it at the very least. It was always nice to know someone had his back; gods only knew he needed someone to every now and again whenever he got one of his reckless ideas going.]

I just hope it doesn't become a regular thing is all...best to keep as much of myself together as I can.

[scary_music]

Between the fall from the shelves and that one just a minute ago, it looks like it will happen a lot!

[Granted, Ippo will probably be more prepared when Ibuki gets her guitar ready next time...]

[windgod]

Then I'd best get used to being in the air around you more.

[It was said in jest, but he couldn't deny that Ibuki had a strange way of keeping him on his feet. Good thing his skull was thick enough to handle the worst of it.]

[scary_music]

Hm... Ippopo could always learn how to fly!

Or if you started wearing a large, padded suit... and then you'd look like a giant marshmellow!

[windgod]

[That got a chuckle out of him, the thought of himself in a marshmallow costume was a little too funny not to.]

I'd run the risk of getting eaten if I looked like a Marshmellow. Enough people have bad enough sweet tooths that they might take a shot at it.

[scary_music]

We wouldn't want to accidentally trick people into acts of cannibalism!

Then, we'll put a sign on you that says, "No eating, this is Ippo!"

[windgod]

Funny as that would be, I think the safest option is to just be more careful.

[And trust him, walking around in a giant marshmallow suit would be funny.]

Imagine trying to walk out on the Skyway with one of those...that'd be a nightmare.

[scary_music]

But it'd give you extra defense!

...

You might not be able to box very well in it, though.

[windgod]

My best defense honestly is my ability to dodge.

[He hadn't made a very good show of that so far, but he was more confident in his ability to duck and weave than he was having something that would restrict his movement in exchange for being able to take a few extra hits.]

Once I hit a rhythm, its like I'm moving with the wind. There's really no other feeling like it.

[scary_music]

Mm, mm! [She nods a couple of times in understanding]

I think I know what you mean! When I get up on stage, with my guitar and microphone at the ready... and then I let loose with all of my feelings...!

[windgod]

When you do something you love, it takes you somewhere completely different.

[It seemed that no matter what you were into, no matter the occupation or hobby, if you truly had a love for it, then it becomes a part of you.]

I guess no matter what its directed towards, passion is still passion.

[scary_music]

Exactly!

But it's always nice to take an ice cream break from it now and then, too!

[windgod]

Ice Cream...I haven't had any in a while, not since I've been here.

[Mostly because the Bastion didn't actually...have any Ice Cream to speak of. Perhaps that was something to change...though hopefully not in tree form this time.]

1/2

[scary_music]

No ice cream?!

2/2

[scary_music]

It's a good thing Ibuki is not obsessed with it in the same way the person who made the donut trees is with donuts

[windgod]

True...one dessert bearing tree is enough for one lifetime I think. I suppose we could always ask Mireille or Rin about it, they'd probably know how to make it from scratch.

[Thanks to Rin, he was an okay cook, but the two women together were more skilled than he could ever hope to be on his own.]

[scary_music]

We can worry about that later!

But how's your head doing, now? If you tricked Ibuki and actually have a concussion, she'll never forgive you.

[Ibuki, he wouldn't suddenly have a concussion now...]

[windgod]

Really? It'd be terrible if you and your twin were that upset with me...

[A bashful smile and a sheepish rub of the back of his head let him know that the wound was all but closed...not that Ibuki would know that though.]

[scary_music]

Another Ibuki?!

Ibuki is not sure if the world could handle two of her!

[She's not going to be tricked again by you so easily, Ippo]

[windgod]

If what Colin told me is true...there's technically an infinite number of yous that exist.

[An infinite army of Ibuki's. He could only imagine what kind of concert that would be.]

1/2

[scary_music]

If Ibuki met even one other Ibuki...

...

...

Ibuki doesn't think they'd be able to agree on who gets to be the lead singer.
