[Wait, what just happened? This was clearly not where she just was, but... where was that?]
[Phi does not have time to ponder this, because as soon as she realizes it...]
Wha-
[...a Clefairy leaps into her chest. The impact is enough to make her stumble, but not fall - wiry as she is, she can handle sixteen-and-a-half pounds of... pink, cute thing?]
Huh. Well, aren't you something?

{Shuu barks happily, tail wagging so fast it's almost invisible. He's gonna come play, just let him finish making sure that Mama's okay!!}
{Nanao sounds surprisingly cheerful for someone being pinned by a dog the size of a horse.}
I'll be fine. Go play, Shuues. {She gets two big licks and then Shuuhei goes bounding off, bouncing like he's a tiny Houndour. Play! Let's plaaaaaay!}

[That's cool, he doesn't mind. Rey moves a little to get used to the extra weight and Tulio reaches over to pat his neck.]
Around. Wanted to see if anyone was still here.
[He casts a look back at her over his shoulder.]
Well, unless you have other plans.

[...what the hell kind of mad max fucking dystopia is this guy from
oh my god he's like equal parts aghast and like really fucking into this right now.]
Do you settle appeals by, like, road race through the desert or something? Bladed combat? Healing from a burn in three days or less?

[For the first time, his Ponyta seems a little irritated, huffing at Fenrir with one hoof pawing the ground.]
Well. See to it that it doesn't.
Well. See to it that it doesn't.
...My name isn't written exactly the same, but 'kirei' is the same word used for 'beautiful'. It's a painfully ill-suited name for someone like me, for a myriad of reasons, and I have to admit I've never cared for it.
[The wanton murder is second on the list, just below his massive self-loathing.]
You--the other you, that is--seem to disagree with my evaluation. A flawed existence best suited for murder seems to be your definition of the word, in fact.

Most of the cases I've handled dealt with capital offenses. I don't personally agree with it, but the system is both very fond of and very prompt with the administration of the death penalty.
[god like it ain't even a thing]

[Plaaaaaaaaaaayy!! With a bark, Hina bounds off alongside Shuuhei as if she's not over a hundred and fifty kilos of firedoge, tail going like a banner in the wind. Keep up, Shuu-friend! She knows the best places to play!
Yeah, trainer's not even going to try and keep up. He's just going to smirk, stepping over to offer Nanao a hand up. ...What? He's got enough muscle to pull her up!]
We won't be seeing them again for a while.

Somehow, I doubt he'd want you to. [Nobody shot anybody in Tin Pin Shibuya, but Neku's still not a huge Josh fan.] I've been here for an hour, maybe two.
[He doubts it too, but that's not going to stop him from looking for the boy.]
Interesting. Seems like we've both shown up here around the same time, then.

[...GLAD TO HAVE PROVIDED YOUR JOY FOR THE DAY, SCHULDIG...]
Come now - we're not uncivilized.
[...okay thankfully that statement was so utterly self-aware that it's probably contemplating the meaning of life, because that'd just be sad otherwise.]

All of that aside, some of us have become very proficient at working within the legal boundaries we've been given. It's an interesting challenge, most of the time.
[Just...the sort that involves human lives and probably somebody dead at the end of it, you know how it goes.]

[Hopefully his Lunatone doesn't mind, because there's a lot of it. And like most things that become scared, that fear quickly turns into anger.]
I don't care, nobody can just force me to stay here.
[Because everyone knows you can disagree with facts.]
I promised I would be there, so I'm going home!
[Fennekin's ears droop pathetically and looks at the others as if begging for help. As fun as this hide-and-go-seek game has been, it doesn't want to play it forever.]

[He's in no hurry to let go, either. Knowing this place could take their memories and send them home at any moment, he's in no hurry. Her hand doesn't quite dwarf his, but his fingers still almost disappear beneath hers.]
I'd be more worried about wild ones they run into. Hina can be very enthusiastic with her playmates.
[And at that size. Welp. Things happen.]

[Clover hasn't quiiiite figured out how to identify confused newcomers from confused oldbies yet, and the fact that this entire weekend has been a complete clusterfuck isn't helping. She's been working under the assumption that everyone knows what's going on better than she does, and it's mostly worked out so far.
So the thing she notices about Phi isn't how out of it she might be, but the fact that she's holding the cutest pink whatever-it-is ever.]
Omigosh! What a cutie! I hardly ever see those pink poofballs around, but they're soooo precious.

I would say that's suspicious, not interesting. [read: "you're suspicious."] But since there seem to be a lot of people showing up like us, it probably has more to do with this place than Shibuya. Any Shibuya.
