4TH ☄ s h o o t i n g s t a r ☄ a c t i o n / v o i c e
October 8th
[It's been two days since the spirit, Hoshiko, possessed Kari's body to break the spell that had been controlling her. Now it seemed that spell's presence was weakening in the village, and soon so would the spirit's hold on Kari's body. Her magic was not quite as powerful here in this village, and once it ran out Kari would regain control. It was a shame, really. Hoshiko was just starting to like this body. But there was still much Kari needed to learn, and until those abilities and powers were unlocked, it was rather useless to be wandering around like this. She didn't even have a full understanding of how her powers of time and space worked! How shameful, given how long she's been making use of those powers. Really, she deserved to be trapped in this strange world for such foolishness.]
[But so long as it still has this time, maybe it can do a little something to hurry things along. After leaving a number of notes for Kari when she regains control, it sets out about the village to enjoy its final hours of freedom. Maybe even make a little mischief while it's at it. If Kari became too complacent in this world, she might decide to never leave -- and Hoshiko just can't allow that to happen. It has no intention of rotting away in this dead-end universe forever.]
[So, for anyone who might be a friend of either Kari or Hoshikyo, expect to see "Hoshikyo" making her way over at some point. Though for those with the ability to sense such things, there will be something very different about her. Her magical power feels stronger, and there's an almost evil aura about her, brimming with malice and ill-will. Even just looking at her, there's certainly an odd look in her eyes.]
October 9th
[But come the 9th, things will be different. Kari is forced to come to terms with two painful truths rather suddenly. First, that the spirit who possessed her from before has not only gotten stronger, but is somehow completely aware of everything she does. And second, the fictional paradise that was "Luceti" in Billy's spell wasn't real. Her mother wasn't in Luceti. And as thankful as she was for that, on top of everything else, the sudden realization caused her to break down to tears.]
[She'll spend the rest of her day as herself, trying to find answers and hopefully fix anything the spirit may have ruined. She could only vaguely recall what happened while it was in control during those days. Hopefully nothing else terrible happened. It's only after another day or being out that she comes home and decides to ask something that's been on her mind since she woke up today:]
So. I've got one of those deep questions that people seem to ask on here sometimes. Maybe someone here can help me figure something out.
If you had something really terrible, and no way of getting rid of it yourself, what would you do about it? I mean, like, something that can't be taken away from you, but something that shouldn't be near other people.
[...]
It's kind of a stupid question, so if you've got a stupid answer, lay it on me.

It's kind of a stupid question, so if you've got a stupid answer, lay it on me.
[Action]
[Somehow the way she says it, it sounds more like a scientific analysis than a compliment.]
[Action]
Kari-chan. Thank you. But I'm not really sure what you're saying. You're the first person I've told that, because I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. But I'm glad you think I'm adorable.
[May as well just tease right back.]
The way you were worried about your modesty was adorable too, you know.
[Action]
[Suddenly it occurs to Kari that the ache in her chest before stopped her before she could actually finish putting her shirt back on.]
[She can't help but flail a little as she turns around and slips it on quickly, starting to button it up, not even bothering to slip her wings through the back just to get it on faster.]
...that wasn't adorable at all! Just awkward!
[Action]
I don't think so. I think it's cute. It's not like we haven't kissed or anything.
[Action]
That-- That-- That is so not the point! Kissing is way different!
[She was far more embarrassed about her scars than simply being topless, but with that Rei's gone ahead and made it even more awkward.]
[Action]
Maybe so. But that doesn't change the fact that you're cute when you're flustered.
[She does actually understand about the scars, though, so she's not bringing that up. It's not her place.]
[Action]
[......]
I put my shirt on inside out, didn't I?
[The tag in the back is just visible under the collar.]
[Action]
[Don't mind her. She's just winning]
[Action]
[And she's so not turning around until her face stops being so red.]
...see, if I could transform right now, I wouldn't even have to worry about a shirt. Magical clothes and all that.
[Action]
[She titters a faint laugh.]
So you have a limited supply?
[Action]
[With a sigh -- for all the inconveniences her magic has, it was still inconvenient when it was gone, too.]
It's a pretty good thing, too. My magic running out is the only thing that made that spirit let go of my body again.
