[Voice - Action for the Koumyou] Guess who's back?

[bravelittlehero]

[There's a small crash as a journal has fallen onto the deck of the Koumyou, in the middle of the night. Then there's a voice, a familiar voice but it's a little deeper, Clementine sounds a little older.

She's not yet aware that her surroundings have changed and for those that come to see her she's splattered with blood on her face and her hands and her left sleeve is soaked through. Clementine is about a head taller, as she's no longer nine, but eleven.

Her voice is strong and defiant and she'd been in the process of turning around.]

I'm still. Not. Bitten.

[She's breathing a little hard from exertion.]

voice:

[hostclubshadowking]

[Hearing the voice draws Kyouya's attention. He manages to take the edge off his voice despite... well. everything.]

Clementine.

Are you alright?

[Action]

[collagehero]

[Of all the people to have night watch on the Koumyou, Clem's lucky enough to get the one whose voice can rival an air raid siren in volume.]

CLEM! CLEM'S BACK~

[Just poof! Out of nowhere! Like magic! Even when they were at Isla Empieza, Hajime wasn't lucky enough to see the new arrivals POOF! She must be extra lucky to get to see Clem poof back. She'd thought she'd gone home like Harukitty and the other Iwatobi boys, but that didn't make sense. The boys' hearts had never really been in it, but Clem gave it her all every day. Maybe Clem could explain it better, but first--

Hajime breaks into a run and leaps to catch Clem in a flying tackle, attaching to her like the most cheerful of barnacles.]

[bravelittlehero]

[It takes a moment for her to respond. There's a thud as she sits on the deck, a little grateful for the change of scenery. His voice is familiar, if she thinks about it, she can remember.]

Kyouya. [That sounds right. It's been a long time for her.]

I'm okay, mostly.

[Action]

[bravelittlehero]

[Clementine stumbles under Hajime's weight and catches herself against the railing. She's jumpy and she pushes on Hajime's shoulder a bit.]

Hey, wait.

[Action]

[collagehero]

Nope! No waiting! I've missed Clem a lot a lot a lot!

[Attached as she is, she can't help but notice how much taller Clem has grown. A whole lot of time must have passed, which fits the theory that people can come from any time. Her next big question is whether they can go back/i> to any time, but that's neither here nor there. It's time for Clem!]

Everybody was soooooo worried about you! Did you go home? How was home? You got bigger!

[bravelittlehero]

[She tries to squirm her way out of Hajime's grasp.]

I went home. Home was about the same. It's been awhile. Listen, I need a bandage.

[hostclubshadowking]

[He doesn't rush her. He doesn't know what happened, but something has.]

I'm glad to hear it.

[bravelittlehero]

It's been a long time, sorry. I went home for awhile.

[hostclubshadowking]

You went home? How?

[He can't help it. This matters. So, so much.]

[bravelittlehero]

I don't really know. I think I fell off the boat and then...I was right back where I came from.

[hostclubshadowking]

[...Scurvey did say that the easy way to get out of here was to die...]

And yet you're back here. I'm sorry about that, at least.

[bravelittlehero]

[Her tone is a little blunt, and she sounds a little detached.]

I'm not. I need a bandage.

[hostclubshadowking]

I'm afraid my ship's out to sea or I'd offer to help.

[Patching the girl up? He could manage that. It'd have given him something to do. But... she's not here, and he doubts they're anywhere close enough to make him useful.]

[bravelittlehero]

It's alright, I'm on my ship, I think. I should be able to get a bandage. Thank you though.

[hostclubshadowking]

No problem. Take care of yourself. I'm glad to know you're okay.

[Voice]

[model_prisoner]

[Well, that's cryptic.]

Uh...By what?

[Voice]

[bravelittlehero]

Walkers. Zombies.

Re: [Voice]

[model_prisoner]

...We have zombies here?

[collagehero]

Hm? A bandage? Why?

[It's dark, so she doesn't notice that Clem is bleeding.]

Did you hurt yourself? Is that why you're gloomy?

[Because being this gloomy isn't like Clem at all. She doesn't seem happy to Hajime, even though Hajime is super-ultra-mega happy to see her.]

[bravelittlehero]

No. I was at home for awhile.

[bravelittlehero]

I'm hurt, yeah, I just need a bandage.

[model_prisoner]

Ah, gotcha'. Are zombies any good at fighting?

[bravelittlehero]

Not really. They can't think. They're like...

[She pauses, it's a little mean.]

They're like animals. You can outsmart them, and all they want to do is eat you.

[collagehero]

Okay! Gotcha!

[Hajime releases her abruptly and rushes off. It's a few minutes before she returns with the box she keeps her first aid kit in. No doubt it took her a while to sift through all her accumulated piles of stuff to find it. Now that she and Ai share space, there's less and less space for anyone else with every passing day.]

Got it! Need some help?

[bravelittlehero]

Yeah, maybe you could wrap my arm for me.

[She definitely doesn't mean a band aid. Clementine pulls up her sleeve. There's a poorly sewn gash along her forearm, nearly the entire length.]
