first design; omeganet video and action.

[hinavelous]

a; omeganet video.

[There's a new superhero face that pops up onto the screen, all in light blues and whites with a simple mask on her face and dark, curled hair falling off screen. She looks a little uncertain, pulling some of her hair over her shoulder and finger-combing it for a moment before she speaks.]

This is a little embarrassing to ask, but-- I'm new to this whole Superhero business, does anyone have any pointers? I've not gotten in any real trouble yet, but I certainly don't want to cause more trouble when I'm supposed to be helping.

b; action! anywhere between the college of the arts and venture park.

[Out of her Super uniform, Hina is just dressed in a stylish light blue sundress with a white lace bolero and a tan sunhat, walking from class to the park with her sketchbook in her purse and her phone in her hand. She was texting her brother, more than likely, and possibly could have stood to be paying a bit more attention to where she was walking.]

Comments

[candothismuch]

We are.

[However awkward it might still be.]

We probably should. [Don't want to make him feel left out for too long.]

[hinavelous]

[This makes her so happy.]

[She loops her arm back through Eiji's and pulls him back over to Tomoki, and then steps away from him to bow at Tomoki. She probably speaks in Japanese because she automatically assumes he understands it.]

It's nice to meet you, Tomoki. My name is Izumi Hina.

[cardsflippedup]

[Oh hey, they're coming back. He slides something inconspicuous into his pocket and smiles brightly at them.]

[And then she bows and starts speaking in Japanese. He blinks, startled and then rubs the back of his neck. He responds back in....rather heavily accented and somewhat broken Japanese.]

It is nice to meet you, too. My name is To- Chino Tomoki. My Japanese isn't very good, sorry.

[candothismuch]

[And Eiji will stand here while the two of them acquaint themselves with each other a bit better.]

[hinavelous]

[She stands and fusses for a moment, waving her arms.]

Aaah, I'm sorry! I assumed because you're Eiji's brother-- [She extends her hand for him to shake instead.]

Hina Izumi, fashion and design major, intern at Venture City College of the Arts. It's nice to meet you.

[cardsflippedup]

[He laughs a little and shakes his head, putting up his hand.]

It's fine. I grew up here in Venture City so English is actually my first language. I'm working on my Japanese, though.

[He takes her hand.]

Tomoki Chino, reporter for the Daily Venture. It's nice to meet you, too.

[candothismuch]

[It's good to see they're getting along fine. Seeing the exchange makes him smile fondly nonetheless.]

[hinavelous]

[She smiles broadly at him.]

If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask. You're a reporter?

[cardsflippedup]

Absolutely.

[And he flips out his business card.]

So if you find anything interesting, let me know.

[And he pauses.]

Speaking of- actually. Eiji, I had something I wanted to ask you.

[candothismuch]

Really? What is it?

[hinavelous]

[She takes the business card with both hands and bows a little in thanks, reading it over and silently mouthing the words across it while she lets the boys talk.]

[cardsflippedup]

[He hesitates for a moment before he smiles.]

There is really no delicate way for me to ask this so I'm just going to speak honestly.

You live in the park. I've got some space in my apartment that you're welcome to inhabit. It's not very big, but it's a roof and summer's only going to last so long.

[candothismuch]

[Tomoki was asking him to live with him?]

Are you sure? I don't want to impose..

[Probably should press the matter a bit more.]

[cardsflippedup]

[He snorts.]

Like I said last time, if it was imposing, I wouldn't be asking.

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

I'm not really okay with the idea that my brother is homeless when I can do something about it.

[candothismuch]

[Eiji considers all of this. This was starting to feel a whole lot like deja vu now that he thinks about it. Only instead of Chiyoko it's his brother trying to coax him into staying.]

[hinavelous]

[Hina is going to grin at this, and scoot forward to bump her shoulder into Eiji's.]

I think it's a great idea, Eiji. He's right about summer, and you really shouldn't live in the park.

[cardsflippedup]

I knew I would like you.

[Bless you Hina.]

If it makes you feel better, once you get a job you can chip in for bills.

[candothismuch]

[Double teaming him. Now that just not fair. Then again, they both are making good points. A beat later he nods his head.]

All right, you've convinced me.

[hinavelous]

[She puts her hands up in the air and shouts, pleased.]

Yay! Family should stick together, anyway.
