You Find Yourselves Stirred By A Voice....

[strangerpeople]

[You feel as you are on a fluffy cloud of warmth and the urge to not want to move is great. However, the voice speaks again as if it is urgent...and maybe angry?]

Damn brats! Get off the merchandise before I call security on you!

[Oh. Well.

When you come to, the familiar scenes of your bedrooms fill your sight. However, the barriers are gone and strangest of all, there are people around. They can SEE you and for sure, they are gawking at the weirdos that are somehow sleeping in department store beds. But on the hands of Croix and Chariot, there's something on their hands...a phone number and a message saying 'Call me! :D' from some weird girl with an A name. But when you finally move and get away from any nosy customers, you have to wonder 'What just happened?' 'Is everyone ok?'

And why do you have the urge to go visit Cafe MYJL?]

REUNIONS

[greatfascinations]

[Before Yotsuyu can completely finish explaining (or even start really), a cutely familiar voice rings out from behind the bookcase entrance.]

Hiiiiiiiii! Were you like, waiting for THIS?

[She turns around behind her and stage whispers.]

Get on out there, guys!

[She flutters out of the way to make room for the people who had died, who appear to have joined everyone on the RG. They all look normal and alive, but... are a few of them flying out, or is that just a figure of speech?]

Don't mind if I totally steal the show, now!

[foolishjustice]

[Not actually a figure of speech, though Goro is moving very quickly. Sorry everyone else, he's going to be looking for Akira first.]

[byanyother_name]

[All of the above points apply to Kurama, too, who emerges right behind Goro. His style seems to have changed just slightly while he was away.]

[scienceofmagic]

[ Once the reunion with Akira is done, and a few people get their hugs, Croix is. Going to hug them both--Akechi and Kurama. ]

...I told you.

[incrediblystressedout]

[Joey is going to wait until the rush subsides, then walk up to Akechi a little more casually.]

So now you're a magic detective, huh?

[totalbullshit]

[ At first glance, Helena might appear to have changed clothes, her appearance now dominated by red rather than white. That's because she's finally put on Dio's coat over her normal hospital gown and it's... definitely way too big for her.

Expression-wise, Helena looks deadpan as always in one second and then startled and a little sad in the next. ]

Kaz...

[ The name escapes her involuntarily, an emotional reaction common when you're overwhelmed with feeling for a specific person... but then she catches herself in the next second and glances over the group of survivors. ]

Good that the win condition wasn't to actually win the fight, huh?

[theirmagic]

Helena! You're okay!

[ SHE IS SO HAPPY. Chariot is going to buzz like a bee around a lot of them, sorry. ]

... We put all we had into it, you know! Usually my kicks would be a lot more effective...

[scienceofmagic]

[ What Helena probably isn't expecting is that, since Goro is busy, is that Croix is going to find a way to pull her in for a hug. And just hold tight for a moment. ]

...I really am sorry... For everything I said.

[incrediblystressedout]

Hahaha...yeah. Yeah that is a good thing.

[Joey shuffles awkwardly in spite of her huge smile at seeing Helena again.]

I did bring the stuff to make one of those cocktails we were talking about, though. Didn't use it because non-Pin stuff wasn't hurting her, but I did remember.

[notgentle]

[It's later. He's got his hands in his pockets now that his clothes fit again. He doesn't know what to say. She still looks so... what the heck, yeah, Dio thinks they should start with that.]

You know, you get to keep that.

[beguiledcard]

[ He's going to be making his rounds now!

So, she'll find him walking over and just. Resting a hand on her shoulder. ]

You're probably one of the craziest people I know...

[ A soft chuckle. ]

Even if I'm not sure if that should be taken as a compliment, coming from me...

[bendwiththewind]

Of course not. Twould be a poor judgement otherwise on my end.

[...sup?]

[steelmagnolias]

[ At least Ren is just plain walking out, mahogany cane in hand as he scans the mall area. For the first time in forever, the smell of smoke on his person is absent. ]

[theirmagic]

[ You.

Come here you are getting a gentle, gentle hug. Very gentle. ]

[scienceofmagic]

...Good to see you again.

[ You're just getting a hand on your shoulder since you're delicate. Croix doesn't. Trust herself. ]

[incrediblystressedout]

Ren! Oh thank God. Here, hang on...

[Joey fishes a familiar sealed Pokéball out of her bag.]

Someone missed you.

[beguiledcard]

[ ... Yep, he'll just be quietly walking over, gently resting a hand on his shoulder. He's gonna say something but-- ]

...

[ He blinks. ]

You smell nice.

[katsufemmefatale]

[And here’s another one swooping out with a bit of a startled yelp. He hasn’t gotten used to being godlike yet....]

Waaah!!

[His first act as a supernatural being is crash landing on his ass because he doesn’t know who to greet first.]

[theirmagic]

[ ... Awww, poor Yuuri. She is going to come and offer you a hand up. Because that is what she does. ]

Yuuri, are you all right? That looked painful!

[eyesofdespair]

[Unlike some of the others, Loewe is going to hang back after coming out. Nothing's really changed about him, but not like it's been all that long. He's still stubborn and not the most sociable sort of guy.]

[notgentle]

[Dio is absolutely running at full tilt, clattering his oversized black dress shoes (?) in an apparently tailored suit (??) that is nevertheless at least a good six inches too short for him (???). He screeches to a halt, supporting himself against the nearest pillar with one hand, and the other paws over his own face, which is imminently familiar to the survivors, top hat and all.]

Yes! [He whoops like a refugee from a holiday special for twelve-year-old boys in the 1950s.] It might be heresy and the wrong date but this is a Christmas miracle!

[If that's too surreal for you, eventually he's found the cheapest black button down and gray slacks within reach and has a superficial gregarious attitude around the other participants.]

Hey. I need like sixteen servings of fries ten minutes ago. It's on me.

[incrediblystressedout]

[After all of the formerly-dead folks have come out and Joey's greeted them, she's quietly going to walk up to Coco herself.]

Hey, Coco...you still doing alright?

[udivlyat]

[Victor is among those who come out on the RG, and he's among those walking out normally-- but unlike most of them, he only knows these people through observation. So-- while he's interested in meeting them, he's letting them have their reunions first.

But he's here, watching and smiling at the happy event, should you want to introduce yourself once you've greeted all your previously dead friends.]

LoC

[cyclicalconcept]

[She's giving people tea and coffee and some cakes. This time, it seems to be on the house.

Well, that or she's paying for it. That and the book shelf.]

Here you go!

SUP COCO.........

[beguiledcard]

[ At some point, he's also going to be approaching Coco. ]

A hiatus, huh...?

[ Hands in pockets, he tilts his head at her. ]

What are your plans now, Coach?
