Happiness Injection The First!

[helpyhelperton]

[Early in the evening on the 5th of May, you might come across a newcomer to the city. The young red-haired girl is sitting on her own on a bench, shoes still soaked from walking out of the Bay. She frowns a little bit, poking not at her communicator but at a pink smartphone, sighing after a moment and lowering it.]

It's no good, the Cure Line isn't working at all. [Another sigh and she leans back a little, looking up at the buildings around her.] What is this place anyway...?

[... And then there's a grumbling sound from her stomach and her expression falls even further into a grimace.]

And I'm staaarrving too....

Eh? But, wait-- [she's up in pursuit when he turns and starts off toward the Bay, but it's too late and before she can catch up.] ... my feet are already wet anyway, so....

[Oh well, if he wants to do a good deed for somebody who is she to argue? And it is really nice of him to go get her things for her. So she waits at the entrance to the Bay and accepts the box with both hands. She smiles up at him with all the genuine gratitude in the world.]

Thank you very much! I'm Megumi Aino, by the way. I forgot to introduce myself before....

[He sticks out a gloved hand to shake hers. She's a cute enough kid, pleasant without being obnoxious.]

Well, you've probably got a lot on your mind, what with being dropped into a new city and all. You need any help getting adjusted?

[Jaune and Ruby would make a decent welcoming committee, they're both about her age, he's guessing.]

[helpyhelperton]

[Megumi shifts the box to one hand to reach out to accept the handshake with what she can only assume is the correct amount of enthusiasm when shaking hands with a superhero!]

A little bit. [It's actually not the weirdest turn her life has taken recently.] Actually, I've never heard of a city called Genessia. Is it far from Pikarigaoka?

[yesterdays_hero]

[He can't even pronounce that. Stop it.]

Yeah, probably.

[He sure hasn't heard of whatever weird weeaboo world that happens to be.]

Let me call up Ruby and Jaune. If one of them is around, they can give you a tour and some background information.

[helpyhelperton]

[It's easy though and she just said it.]

[Her expression falls just a bit when Hammer confirms that she's somewhere far away from home. That wasn't good at all. As exciting as it was to explore new places, she'd never been away from home before and especially not on her own.

Poor Hime must already be frantic, and mom....]

A tour might be fun, but... I really can't stay here very long. Do you know if there's a way I could get back home?

[She couldn't even contact Blue to use one of those mirrors. What was she going to do?]

[yesterdays_hero]

[Captain Hammer shakes his head.]

If there were, do you really think someone like me would still be here?

[He holds up his hands as if to exemplify the awesome that has been caged in this city.
