[Yes, they're cute. He gets why she can't pick. She would be cute in any of these!

But he nods when she mentions the frog, and tugs it down.]

I like him.

[infreefall]

Me, too. I think he suits you!

[ he's a bit like tsu-chan in some ways, she thinks? with such a strong sense of what's right, and the will to try... there are plenty of other ways that they differ, but it's nice and familiar.

for herself, ochako pulls down a koala kigu. ]

Have you worn one before? They're pretty comfy.

[exercisms]

[Oh no, cute. Her koala is cute, too! Anyway, he'll put it on over his clothes, and then stick his blue ribbon between one of the buttons.]

I haven't, but they are comfy!

[infreefall]

Mm! They make great pajamas, too.

[ she'll just follow mob's lead and step into hers as they talk, too! ]

Hey, what's the ribbon for? Is that what they gave you from home?

[exercisms]

[Shakes head.]

My leader gave it to me. I think it's supposed to help me find others on my team, but I'm not sure how.

[infreefall]

Really?

[ curious, she tilts her head. ]

I didn't know they were giving out things like that. Maybe it reacts by proximity?

[exercisms]

Oh. Maybe!

[I think it's probably a hint his leader gave to someone else, but he's too dumb to realize that.]

. . . Mm. We're supposed to be careful, but can I tell you what team I'm on? [Since he had a suspicion, that he asked about, and then forgot???]

[infreefall]

Oh... Only if you're sure. I haven't told many people yet, so I don't mind sharing mine with you, too.

[exercisms]

My team leader is Rabbit.

[So. Maybe that's also hers? Since she seems to get along with Rabbit well.]

[infreefall]

Oh! [ delighted, she claps her hands together. ] Mine, too! So we're on the same team, Kageyama-kun!

[ this is so nice! finally someone on her own team, and it's one of her friends! ]

...It doesn't look like it reacted, though. I wonder if...

[ what if she pokes the ribbon. ]

[exercisms]

[Poking it too! It's just an ordinary ribbon! Dumb!]

Maybe it isn't working?

[Wait.]

But that's great! Rabbit said it's really important that we find people on the same team! Thank goodness!

[infreefall]

Hm... Maybe it's more like a sign for someone else? Though I wouldn't know who.

[ weird. what is this ribbon mystery. ]

Did they say why?

[exercisms]

I asked if there was anything I could do to help find the others, and Rabbit said to talk more about my connection to spirits, and to wear the blue ribbon.

[infreefall]

Hmm... Well, I don't know about the ribbon, but maybe it's about how you work with the spirits and try to help people?

[ what is the common ground here, hm ]

I haven't found any others yet, though.

[exercisms]

Neither have I. But Rabbit will be so happy, I think!

[infreefall]

Mm! This means we'll be able to work together to gather more nova for them, right? Heh, maybe we'll even take the lead!

[exercisms]

Yeah! I'm sure we can!

[infreefall]

[ she smiles! ]

That'd be nice. I really do want to help all of the leaders, but Rabbit-san seems like they need something to help them stay optimistic, you know?
