Ryouga looks just like he did before he died.

I'm not kidnapping him, really. I wouldn't do something so cruel to this world's Mai. But we're losing the fight, and Mai needs some comfort, if only for a moment.

I crouch behind the bushes, and get ready to strike.

Ah, it's so nice out today. There's an old couple feeding pigeons, lots of kids on the playground, a couple people reading on the benches.

I grin, and keep running.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[rainbowspirit]

There are too many people here. Obviously, I could just scare them off if they cause trouble, but I'd rather not.

So once he's close enough to grab from the bushes... I do just htat.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[hakua]

I'm tackled, and yanked back into bushes. I squawk, struggling. "What are you doing?!- Sanjou-san?"

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[rainbowspirit]

I force back any foolish emotions I feel having Ryouga-- a Ryouga-- in my arms. "Shut up. We have something to do."

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[hakua]

...well, he *sounds* like Sanjou-san. "What are you talking about? Evolian?"

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[rainbowspirit]

"Among other things. Now come, or I'll carry you there." I'm not in the mood for tact. OR anything else outside of helping Mai.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[hakua]

I shrug. "Okay, let's go."

If Evolian's attacked, then of course I need to be there. I don't know why the secrecy, why he didn't just contact me on my brace.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[rainbowspirit]

"Good." I promptly drag him to a quieter part of the park, and open a portal. "Now go."

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

...

I step back, looking him over properly. He's Sanjou-san -- but he's not the same as the Sanjou-san I know, the one who definitely can't just call up doors to other worlds in a PARK whenever he feels like it.

"Tell me what's going on," I say, fists clenched. I trust him, but this isn't right.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[rainbowspirit]

...

I'll knock him out if I have to, but I'd rather not. "I need you. Mai needs you. Where we're going isn't your world per se, but you are needed there. Desperately." And I'm not taking no for an answer.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[hakua]

I blink at him, taking in all the signs of stress.

"M-Mai-chan needs me?" I ask at last.

Re: [generic dystopian Yukito]

[rainbowspirit]

"Of course she needs you," I snap, then rub at my eyes. It's too bright out here. "I have her safe for now, but Evolian's gaining strength for a new incursion. If you want to help her, you have trust me. Completely."

ASUKA-SAN!

[abareblack]

[obliviously oblivious to all surroundings ... but soft! a voice]

Hello! [enthusiastically rushing to be by your side. woe to the Zimmer-framed pensioner in his path]

... Sorry.

[hakua]

[squawks, helps pensioner] Sorry, sorry!!!

Asuka-san, is everything all right?

[abareblack]

[enthusiastic!] Everything's fine! How about you? Where is Mai-chan?

[hakua]

[grinning, I see someone's on the good part of his mood carousel today]

She's at school! I'm going to collect her soon... ah, if I'm not too smelly.

[abareblack]

[sniff sniff. thoughtful]

I don't think you are?

[hakua]

[grins]

Did you just sniff me, Asuka-san?

[abareblack]

[blink]

... Did I?

[hakua]

[you are the awesomest woobie Black Ranger]

Asuka-san?

What are humans like on Dino Earth?

[abareblack]

[wasn't expecting this question; surprised]

Much like humans here, but less ... Another Earth-like. [fingers unconsciously tracing dino mark on cheek]

[hakua]

[nods]

Same dreams, same goodness?

Still -- still worth fighting for?
