[Shi's CR would have had a difficult time finding the small Curse Kami, but less trouble finding letters explaining his absence. In a note on his bedroom door, one at the shrine, and little notes carried by his Pokemon, Shi has explained that he went to the Dream Docks to learn more about his Curses. He would be back in a few days, and would answer any messages his friends left him.

But j/k. Three days later, and Shi is back. But he's not eager to answer messages. He's found a way to control his curses, and it's more complicated than he'd hoped.
Also, it's left his looking closer to his age of 16 and like he got into a fight with some blue hair dye.]

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm new here. [He's not.] My name is Yoshiya. [No, this is Shi Yamato.]

I'm wondering, um... Hm. How to phrase this...? Is there still a carnival coming up soon? [pause. wait. He said he was new, then he asked about the carnival.

He backtracks:] I saw... posters? [Did he? Even he's not sure? Ugh. This is hard.]

N-never mind. Good day. [hangs up to go rehearse his lying.]

[Action: Genessia.]
[He's actually going to rehearse his lie, though. 'Yoshiya' is standing in an alleyway, facing a wall and rehearsing lies. He's got a notepad that he's taking notes in as he tries to figure out what to do. He can be caught mumbling to himself, as he's deeply focused and a touch panicked.]

Should I tell Seth? What do I do...? I should go back to my job...? But then people will find out 'Yoshiya' is a Kami too... I don't want to lie either... [He sighs, turns around, and leans against the wall.] This didn't help me at aaaall.

Hellooo Yoshiya~

Welcome to Genessia, and yes! There is a carnival coming really soon. You should participate, there's going to be games!

[..and nothing more. But she does pause and give him a strange look]

...Wait. You look...familiar...?

Heeeeelllo Yoshida~! I heard something about a carnival as well. it sounds absolutely delightful doesn't it?

[Eek, it's her! The girl who can be really nice, but also turns into a dragon and talks about eating spirits (like him!)

Yoshiya flinches at first, then goes silent. What does he say? Should he admit that he knows her? Start fresh and get caught in a lie? Implode from confusion? So many options!]

Familiar, what? Uhhh... You must... [he doesn't want to say she's "mistaken!" :C She's not! That would be so rude. Rude and hurtful!

uuugh.] You must know a lot of people.

[A stanger!

He quickly relaxes, returning her enthusiasm with a nod.]

Hello, miss! Yes, it does. I've heard we can contribute, too. It sounds positively wonderful!

[Allen had finished a performance for the day and had made sure all of his stuff was well hidden before he planned to wonder a bit. However, while exploring he found himself turning into an alleyway just as he heard someone talking. This was enough to cause him to stop. At that moment he thought the guy was talking to someone.]

Ah, sorry. I'll...leave you alone.

Au!

[Yoshiya jumps when he hears a voice-- and stumbles over clumsily in his attempt to escape.]

S-Sorry, no-- You're fine! I can leave. I'm just being weird, hi, sorry!

[Anastasia just like taking her pokemon for walks around here.

But during this walk, her Sylveon got away from her and successfully got the girl to chase her.

The brat of a pokemon took a turn down the alleyway, only to skid to a stop and run back out squeaking little fairy screams.]

Sylvi? What's wrong?

[Thats When Anastasia looked down the alleyway and gasped, ducking back out before she was spotted.

Or was she too late?]

[If he could, Yoshiya would have quite liked to hide. He pushes himself away from the wall at the initial sound of paws on the alleyway pavement, then tenses when he hears Anastasia's voice. He hasn't decided how to approach his old friends, so the encounter leaves him in a flustered panic.

Not knowing what else to do, and afraid of being recognized, he turns around to face the wall.]

Uh, sorry! Don't mind me!

Are you going to go to it? Us newbies should have fun together after all!

[Anastasia doesn't recognize him, but he seems friendly enough. She doesn't leave, but she doesn't push her luck either, keeping her safety whistle ready just in case. She speaks from around the corner.]

No, I'm sorry. My Pokemon got away from me.

[And since she can't really help herself sometimes...]

Are you all right?

It's fine.

[Okay talking to oneself really wasn't fine. But Allen knew he did it from time to time. Sometimes he would get caught if a device was recording at the time.]

I mean. Talking to yourself seems perfectly normal.

[ K-2So is so very confused right now. ]

Shi? Is that you? Did you have a makeover?

I-I'm not "Shi!" [And immediately after raising his voice, he looks and sound pretty sorry about it.]

My name is Yoshiya. [He's Shi.] It's not a makeover. [It is.]

[Sad thing is, the disguise probably would've fooled him...were it not for the matching network IDs. He smiles conspiratorially.]

Hello, "Yoshida". Strange, Uai claims the same name. Are you two related, somehow?

Why? Huh? Um... No? What are you asking...?

Yes! [No!

He's still not facing her, unaware of how far she actually is.]

It's alright, they're quite curious creatures. Mine are quite difficult themselves, at times. Please don't worry yourself, miss.

[Hana chirped and rotated her head to the side]

Well-yes I do know lots and lots of people and creatures~ But you..

[she hummed] ..Did you have a haircut? You know, in my world the humans would often sheer our fur so they'd be warm and we'd look so different! But the same too. [the dragon giggled a bit]

...In fact, Uai has that same blue strip, too!

Yes! I would quite like to, in any case. Perhaps we can go together? Unless you've prior engagements?

... It does?

[Yoshiya's panic swaps for skepticism.

That's a worrisome thing to consider 'normal!']

Ah, I mean... Even then. Pardon me, for being... in your way?

Yes, of course you would. [When she brings up his hair, Yoshiya begins to comb his fingers through it anxiously. Does it look bad? He does kind of miss the length sometimes...

Wait! No. Admitting that would be admitting to being 'Shi!']

No, no haircut. It's always short. I'm Yoshiya: The short-haired. [ugh, he feels so dumb. Doesn't even comment on Why.]

Prior engagements? Hmmmmm nope~! None that I can think of anyway!

[ She beams happily, clapping her hands together a few times. ]

I'm asking if you two relate in more ways than happenstance.

[He says with more decibels. Just in case "Yoshida" didn't hear him.]

Aheh, well I hope the name isn't ironic or something.

I'm sorry... I don't know what you're talking about...?

I spell it with the On "Ka" and "Ya?" Yoshiya is a common name...

Then should it be no bother, I'd be delighted to attend with you, Ms... Oh. Goodness, my apologies. I never asked your name. I'm sorry.

Oppsie~! I forgot to tell you in the first place! You can call me Maddie.
