◌ 026 ◌ Third verse, seems oddly like the first. (And the second.)

[This time, Fuu's arrival in Luministi is considerably more quiet than last.

With a resigned sigh she drops her bag in her 'house' and goes to the closet to change out of the school clothes she'd been snatched away in. She then sits on the edge of the bed in the dimming light, reading the posts of those who have already arrived.
The people she knows... a few she doesn't. And some missing. But, if someone was only replying to posts, she wouldn't see those conversations.

Before she plunges in to this third round with Luministi, Fuu decides to take a bike ride.
Memory easily leads her down the street, around the library and into the town square.
She looks over the meagre offerings on the table (this does not look like offerings from many of the restaurants at all), and doubts that the Mayor put in an appearance as he said he would. She doesn't feel too hungry now, but she takes some bread and cheese for later.

Walking across the square to the Neptune sundial she looks up at it with a stern expression.
She has a feeling that this will be the most aggressive time they've had in this town yet. The man who had contacted their CATs earlier had about promised as much.]

[Smoothing her expression into a small smile and setting herself down on a bench near the Neptune sundial so it will show in the background, Fuu makes a broadcast on the CAT.]

Good evening, everyone. Again, I regret that we are meeting under such circumstances.
My name is Fuu Hououji, age 17, first year of High School in Tokyo, blood type A. I have been in this town twice before, and if I may say so, I believe that we are in more danger than ever before. I hope that we can all work together again to get home once and for all.

I will be here by this sundial for a while, if anyone would like to meet in person.

I think we can work together to get home too. Sad that you've been here before, though! [Kon does look visibly distressed; why should pretty ladies suffer this much?] I'd hate being here for long.

Sundial? I think I can meet you there in about a minute or so.

[He doesn't bother responding to the video, instead heading straight for the Neptune sundial once Fuu's message ends.]

Hey, Fuu. [He grins at her, but it's not that wide, and fades when he tilts his head towards the sundial. He still tries to sound light-hearted when he speaks.] I guess they thought repairing everything was the best way to show off for the new kids, huh?

[gothelproof]

Don't take it the wrong way, but am I glad to see you! This place still doesn't make any sense.

[Ichijou looks ill and exhausted, frankly, and no amount of fake smiles can cover that up (he's hardly even putting effort into it anyway.). He's sitting cross-legged and hunched over, chin resting in a hand and elbow resting on a knee. He simply doesn't seem to care about how he presents himself at the moment, which should be a pretty strong indicator that something's wrong.]

My current circumstances forbid me from meeting you in person, as much as I'd like to, but certainly we can still talk, right?

[from the looks of Wash's surroundings in his video transmission, he's in Caligin's old office]

I'm sorry we have to keep meeting like this, Miss Hououji. But this time...we won't be able to meet in person, not while the town is locked again.

[Jamie's face is harder to see than usual, a pale greenish sort of light not providing much in the way of illumination. But it allows her to get a look at his expression. It's not exactly a happy one, but that's likely understandable given what's apparently happened.]

Aye, but I'd prefer that we'd not have to go through this all over again. Hello, Fuu.

[Sophie has been busily filling the CAT broadcasts with cries of outrage and attempts at information gathering. as such, she's still wearing only a bedsheet when she hears Fuu's message]

Fuu! [angrily] Goodness, just how many of us have they brought back here!? When I find that Filippo Resarci...!

[realising what that sounds like, though, she trails off and adds:] Oh, nevermind that now. I'm sorry; it is good to see you!. It's just...unexpected. And quite despicable of them to force us all back here to begin with! [she scowls]

[she peers behind Fuu, though, frowning] But that sundial... [she sighs] Well. I suppose it's no surprise.
