[action/log/thing] first day here

Who: First scenario is Ray and Zack only, but the second is Ray and whoever runs across her!
What: Ray arrives at an odd hour, gets brought home, and then does some exploring. Also, one of the buses has lost part of its roof. Whoops.

[1. Arriving]

[The town is asleep when this bus screeches to a stop a few feet away from the actual bus stop. Yes, screeches, and it's clear why at a glance: there's a hole in the roof, as if something crashed through with great force.

The agitated driver exits, carrying what looks like a silvery package. Once they put it down though, it's obvious that it's not a package - just a small, worryingly pale girl with pale blonde hair and a white coat. The driver looks even more agitated as they shout concerns at the tiny thing.

People are not around to see how the girl doesn't react, nor how it unnerves the driver so badly they climb back into the bus and make a U-turn without even looking for anyone at the stop.

Rachel just stands there, like a tiny, discarded doll, and nobody is there. Nobody decent, anyway.
So that, of course, means...]


[2. Exploring]

[Decent people will probably run into Ray wandering around town, not much worse for wear despite her weird arrival. She's mostly on the edges of town, in the less populated areas. The woods, for instance, or the edges of other farms. She might be near the stores and whatnot, but not often.

For such a tiny teenager, her eyes are surprisingly dead-looking. There's no emotion on her face, and it's probably a little unnerving to see!

Maybe it's for the best that she shies away from the more populated areas. She's only trying to familiarize herself with the layout, after all; she's not actively trying to spook people by wandering around and being herself in their midst.]

[Decent people may run into her, but dumb rowdy teenagers are also likely to. Very close to literally - Masamune is, in fact, going on a run along the dirt roads between farms. If he can't actually get any baseball practice in while he's here, at least he can keep in top shape to be ready to kick some ass as soon as he goes home.

But he sees the tiny lost-looking child long before he actually collides with her or anything. He doesn't think he's seen this one before... should he stop and check on her? Probably. His pace slows step by step until he stops to lean forward and rest with his hands against his thighs.

Phew... You doing okay out here, kid?
powerhittou: (i gots to know)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-17 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[How can you not be okay in something so comfy and easy to wear?]

Oh. [Is she sure, because she looks like a zombie or something. Actually, all the way out here in the middle of nowhere, maybe she is? Some spooky ghost that crawled out of a cornfield to find someone to give her remains a proper burial? Masamune's THIS CLOSE || to reaching out and seeing if his hand goes through her head before she stops him with her question.]

Well it sure ain't all the way out here. You want to actually be in town for that.
powerhittou: (you'll feel all right)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-17 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[...ugh!! That's so unsettling! But not just for the fact that nobody so young should look so soulless. It's that he's seen that look before.]

I dunno... haven't been there yet. I just know there is one somewhere.

[That's where the body is. Or her killer. Or some item of personal attachment. Should he walk right out of this creepypasta now or is that only going to afflict him with some terrible curse!? He grits his teeth and pivots on his heel to change direction.]

I'll help you look. I'm bored anyway.
powerhittou: (but when)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-17 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Haa? Is that all? [Just as quickly as they set off, he's stopping already and putting his hands on his hips.] You're in luck! I know the best farmer around. No book'll come close to what he can teach you.
powerhittou: (you don't feel all right)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-17 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
...Depends on how smart you are.

[No sense beating around the bush with that one.]

I know Kojuro knows damn well what he's doing so if you can't follow his example that's on you.
powerhittou: (when it's time to party we)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-17 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Ha.

[At least determination is something. A thing Masamune can respect, at that. Alright, time to head off toward Bonten Farm, then.]

So. Some mysterious benefactor just gave you a whole big farm to yourself, right?
powerhittou: (Default)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-18 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I get it...

[So repaying that debt will help her spirit pass on, huh? Nice. He's totally got this! He'll do this good deed and then he'll have a cool story to tell later.]

Okay! By the time we're through with you, you'll have the best crops for miles around. Or... second-best, at least. Then you can rest nice and easy.
powerhittou: (you fight that fight)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-18 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
What?!

[THAT COMMENT ABOUT RESTING COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING, SHE'S ONTO HIM BEING ONTO HER... or maybe she just isn't a ghost after all. He's actually a little disappointed? Just when it looked like something interesting was happening in this nowheresville... Figures.]

-Yeah, I knew that. I meaaant it's going to be a lot of hard work. [Nice save.] And there's no quitting until it's over, you see?
powerhittou: (lookin for your girl)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-18 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Now that's the right attitude.

[OH, IF ONLY HE HAD ANY IDEA.

Anyway. They are finally at that final stretch of the journey where they turn the quaint little path leading to Bonten Farm, boasting quite the field of leeks and eggplants, among other things (probably?? KOJURO PLEASE BE COOKING OTHER THINGS TOO OR MASAMUNE IS OUTTIE). And, of course, a tiny farmhouse.

There's also a shadowy-looking crow chilling on one of the wooden fenceposts, and Masamune makes a wide shooing gesture at it. For whatever good that does or doesn't do.
]

Get outta here already!
powerhittou: (oprah dough)

[personal profile] powerhittou 2018-08-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
'Cause its owner's trained it to be a real pain in the ass. [It keeps calling to him in his rival's voice and then not being his rival. NOT THAT HE CARES... JUST...] Tch. It'll be back in no time.

[He's not much more of a farmer than she is, alas.]

Anyway... Looks like he's not out here. C'mon.

[Time to investigate THE FARMHOUSE. Which isn't going to need a thorough checking considering you can see inside the whole thing from the front door. HM.]
