Who:  Homare Kanakubo & YOU
What:  He's looking for a little something from back home…
When:  April 8th, Day 64
Where:  Wandering around the Heimdall district
Rating:  PG13

「 Homare hadn't taken long to leave Gladsheim, even with all that thorough questioning.  It seemed amusing a while ago until he stepped out of it and realized that well, after all, he was lost.  It was a lot to sink in, being kidnapped to this place, but he couldn't quite think at the moment.

Anyone passing by him might notice this one six-foot-tall teenager wandering about the district, not so much looking for the Heimdall House as he is, well…see how uncomfortable he looks? Like he's trying to hold something back, and mind you, it's not tears with the way he's surreptitiously clutching at his stomach.

Would someone be so kind as to take him to the nearest drug store? 」

「 OOC: prose or action is fine! 」

[ it's not all that rare for Tsukiko to be out and about, unless she's bogged down with clinic visitors or the hospital needs additional help. She might even be doing it more often, straying further and staying out later without Suzuya to worry or Kanata to scold her. It's a good distraction.

But distraction or not, she's abruptly jarred from her thoughts when her eyes land on a familiar head of blue hair. For a few seconds, she squints, as though a little dubious about recognizing the figure. But then, quickly, almost desperately-- ]

Kanakubo-buchou!

[noppo_sempai]

「 Ah, there it is. He'd been hoping it's all some sort of elaborate prank after all. Or that he'd ended up in a carnival somehow (although he had to admit all the network posts he'd browsed through indicated otherwise…).

But more importantly the sound of that voice made him turn quickly about in her direction, hand sneakily falling back to his side. Must be strong, must keep up appearances… 」

Ah, Yahisa-san is here too, after all…

[starryguyed]

M-more importantly, are you alright? When did you get here?

[ yes, of course she's going to fret, though this seems a little more serious than her usual concern. Someone's been through some rough times. ]

[noppo_sempai]

Of course I am… 「 while everyone's all over that Gate of Fog business he's got simpler needs in mind, and therefore he's technically far more okay than they are.

oh sh—he should not have had that for lunch. 」 Th–That is…but are you okay?

[starryguyed]

I'm fine. [ so automatic. ] You don't seem that well, though...

[noppo_sempai]

「 Which is why he's glossing that first part over. Anyways, he's too occupied with the rumbly in his tumbly anyway. 」

Ah, well…somehow being here can be a bit…surprising, isn't it?

[starryguyed]

You're already handling it better than I did...

[noppo_sempai]

I should always do my best for Yahisa-san, shouldn't I? 「 EVEN WITH THE STOMACHACHE WHICH HE'S FAILING TRYING TO HIDE because wow Homare get thrown into a magical Norse-themed world and you're already putting the moves on her? 」

[starryguyed]

This isn't about me! Kanakubo-buchou, here--

[ oh why is she reaching out ]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Huh. Six-foot-teenager, wandering uncertainly, clutching stomach. Conan's pretty sure he's got this case.]

Ne -- looking for a pharmacy, Oniichan?

[noppo_sempai]

「 Good boy, but excuse him he's just…really stressed out. Always gets stomachaches when he's too stressed out, for some inexplicable reason. 」

Ah… 「 Looking down, down, down…oh there you are! 」 Maybe that will help…

[holmes_fanatic]

[IBS?]

Maybe? You're not sure?

[noppo_sempai]

「 Who knows… 」

That depends. Are we still in Japan? 「 because that would really really help to alleviate any kind of worst case scenario he's running over his head right now. 」

[holmes_fanatic]

[... this is going to be a difficult one.]

Pretty sure that this is not Japan.

[noppo_sempai]

「 It's…complicated. 」

I see… 「 Did he just turn a shade greener? Nah. RIGHT, LAUGHING HIS TROUBLES AWAY NO NEED TO WORRY THIS RANDOM LITTLE BOY… 」 It's really unbelievable, isn't it?

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah ... it really is. Are you going to be all right?

[noppo_sempai]

Un! I'll be fine, ah… 「 didn't quite catch your name back there 」

[wristbands]

[Chie's always wandering around the city of Asgard. she's never liked staying in one place for long, after all. plus, it helps her meet new people! and that's what they're supposed to be doing here, right? in any case, the tall stranger she's about to pass by right now definitely catches her eye... wow, he doesn't look so well, does he? as one to always help when she could, she backtracks a little and catches up with him.]

Uhhh... you okay there?

[noppo_sempai]

「 Friends are something he'd very much like. For one thing a good pep talk from them can cure stress-induced bouts of stomach pain because he's trying his best not to think about the fact that he just suddenly can't get back home and what is this—

But no she's cute and even for a stranger he'll put on a smile! 」 I think I am…I hope I didn't trouble you…

[wristbands]

No, no, not at all! [she shakes her head, looking genuinely concerned!] Do you need to go to the hospital or something? It's not too far from here!

[noppo_sempai]

「 BLESS YOUR KIND HEART CHIE but he's really used to this kind of thing by now…

anyway, surreptitiously clasping his hands together because they're totally not clutching at his stomach nope 」 Ah…I'll be all right, if there are such nice people like you in here.

[wristbands]

[...sadly, she can't say the same for compliments like that. so she's a little flustered, but her priority is still helping him!!]

Oh, well, it's no problem at all, really—! After all, if it is something serious, it's better to be safe than sorry, yeah?

[noppo_sempai]

「 chuckling 」 That's true…there's no helping being here, but this problem is easy enough to fix. 「 no Homare stomach medicine can't cure stress 」

[wristbands]

Really? Then... how are you supposed to fix it?

[noppo_sempai]

If I can find a doctor…maybe… 「 but really, his stomach problems in general are all sorts of embarrassing 」
