[ don't worry, her cute hat is safe under her other hat. she has not noticed that she is dual hat wielding yet. she looks fine, except for the way she's shivering and all her exposed skin (less than usual because flannel, but also, still a lot) is bright red like she was out in the cold too long. her hands are freezing when she latches onto to them both. which is why she's latching onto them SHE'S COLD ]
I'm not sure, but we came out of one of the locked rooms. I think we were sent there to help someone in a world somewhere...?
[there's a yelp because COLD. but give him a second he's going to try and wiggle out of his flannel to give it to her even if he's squinting at her hat and also what she's saying.]
What locked room? [also HE WAS RIGHT, THEY ARE HERE TO HELP SOMEHOW AND SUDDENLY HE IS NOT SURE HE WANTS TO BE RIGHT.]
[Well, he looks immediately concerned when she touches them with fucking Olaf fingers. He can’t help with a jacket because his does not have sleeves since he’s a dumbass jock, but he DOES take both of her hands into his own to rub them briskly.]
You’re freezing, Kairi. [Captain obvious.] Hold on, who is “we”?
[ kairi will gladly take the warmth, thank you. she's letting them fuss without objection ]
It's a dispatch room, I think. At least that's what it said on it. [ she nods her head in the vague direction of it and then: ] I was with Nagi-nyan, Yennefer and...
[ there's a pause because she never got his name. ]
The man with blue hair? He's kind of rude. We were in a world covered with snow.
Everyone's fine, don't worry. [ she's quick to assure them! they are all a little cold, but listen. then she shakes her head at riku ] I didn't go inside the room. I wasn't doing anything special before I just... woke up there. When we came back we were in that room, though. I think... I sort of remember being in the truck in between that?
[ not that any of the trucks left, but how would she know that. ]
No, I wasn't in there, I just sort of remember being driven back somehow, even if we ended up inside this dispatch place when we woke up. [ she moves her hand to rub at her very red exposed thighs, because skirts were a mistake in winter ] There's a radio, and a switchboard with lights that have all of our names written on them.
I didn't get a good look in the trucks but...it wasn't a great idea either. Something felt wrong. [but right. focus.] Were you able to talk to anybody else with the radio? [he would ask about the lights but he's leaving riku some of the shared braincell.]
I wonder if there's a way we can go back and check it out ourselves to see if the lights changed now that you're out of there. [it's very! disconcerting! that there are lights with their names!
Like Sora, he thinks it’s concerning there’s a damn board of lights with their names on them. He’s not sure if all of them being on are good or bad. He’s hoping good.]
The receipt... No, that's different. [ she tilts her head in thought ] You two should try hitting the register for yourselves, later.
[ vague. but she nods at riku ]
I was planning to. It can't be anything bad if it's a friend, right? Let's go see the room, you guys can see for yourself. And I can tell you what happened over in the other world!
[normally with anyone else he'd flat out ask why he has to do that, but he trusts kairi and riku almost blindly so.]
Later. We'll go separately and then we can figure stuff out. [he frowns though.] We should get you warmed up first before we go anywhere, but I kinda want to see this room. And Riku's right, you should redeem it when you can.
[Riku can’t believe he has to cause property damage.
He nods.]
Let’s get you warm, or at least in more clothes until you are. You can redeem the coupon while we check out the register later. We should make sure the others are okay, too. Or see if anyone knows if they are.
Tell us what happened over there besides a lot of snow.
[ because she is hiding in their terrible boy warmth. but sure they can go wherever while she tells the tale of stupidity; ]
First we walked to a cabin... it turned out we were sent to help a boy who was being accused of murder. His name was Ryuunosuke, and he said he was a... defense attorney? He said his partner said he'd send some help from "the office" since he'd be late. We ended up meeting him later, and he was pretty... eccentric.
[ just accepts her fate to be bundled up for a bit. it's fine. ]
Yeah. We had to find the real killer, so we did. Well, Nagiko and I wanted to help, and Yennefer eventually agreed. [ mcburn was just there. ]
The victim was a squirrel trainer, and... they ended up arresting his friend and rival trainer who was there, even though it was an accident. He fell and was kicked by a horse. But... I guess we did find out the two of them were doing illegal things with those squirrels, so maybe he was arrested for that instead?

Snow's really cold if you aren't used to it. [we know, sora.] Are the others okay? How did you even get there?
no subject
[Damb!] Dispatch room… [Sora can be his shounen protagonist self while Riku ponders over what Kairi and the others found.]
You went to this world after going through the door to the room, you mean…? Why would a place like that be inside a room here…
no subject
[ not that any of the trucks left, but how would she know that. ]
no subject
[he is a concern.]
no subject
[His brows furrow. She didn’t go in the room, but remembers the trucks.
He glances at Sora.]
Didn’t you try to look inside of the trucks? What did you see?
no subject
No, I wasn't in there, I just sort of remember being driven back somehow, even if we ended up inside this dispatch place when we woke up.

no subject
[He gestures at Sora with both his own and Kairi’s hands at “something felt wrong,” see! And then he looks like “oh???”]
A switchboard with our names…? We’re… any of the lights off…?
…
Are we being transported like cargo?
no subject
All the lights were on... I didn't spend a lot of them in there. I went to find you guys right away.
[ and forgot to use her radio, like a fool ]
Oh, I also got a coupon, for a reward?
no subject
but then he's like huh??]
A coupon?
no subject
Like Sora, he thinks it’s concerning there’s a damn board of lights with their names on them. He’s not sure if all of them being on are good or bad. He’s hoping good.]
A… coupon? For what?
no subject
[ but since they're asking, she's rooting through her dress pockets. the coupon reads "Redeem at the Cash Register for (1) Furry Friend" ]
We all got one, but everyone had something different on them.
no subject
...that's different than the receipt we got earlier, right?
no subject
Riku frowns gently at the coupon, not because he’s skeptical, but because it’s just a little random.]
We should check the room. And you should turn the coupon in to see what you get.
no subject
[ vague. but she nods at riku ]
I was planning to. It can't be anything bad if it's a friend, right? Let's go see the room, you guys can see for yourself. And I can tell you what happened over in the other world!

[murder's bad.]
no subject
her: i’m warm!!
them: puts more stuff on her]
What…
[It’s not even a question really. ALSO IM LOSING MY MIND. RYUU GET OUTTA HERE.]
So… did you? Help him?

Yeah. We had to find the real killer, so we did. Well, Nagiko and I wanted to help, and Yennefer eventually agreed. [ mcburn was just there. ]
