WHO: You!
WHERE: Around the city!
TIME: All Through Day 1
DESCRIPTION: CITY TOUR MINGLE!

Maybe you stayed in Coba, maybe you went home and came back, or maybe this is your first time here, but everyone is suddenly greeted to a friendly, female voice over an intercom (or maybe it's a some other device? Depending on where you're from)

"Welcome citizens. We hope you're enjoying your visit! Transport will leave in twenty minutes for the Coba city-wide tour!"

If you follow the voice, you'll find yourself at a bus stop. Or is it a fancy monorail? A carriage? A couple of horses? Coba is flexible and will change herself to suit you, after all. And if you get left behind, don't worry! There's free cabs anywhere in the city, who also will be more than happy to give you their own version of the tour.

The Coba city-wide tour boasts an hour of informative information regarding Coba's most important locations, some extra brochures (with some extra savings in there, of course), and will finally return you to the place you left from.

Of course, maybe the tour isn't for you. After all, the party is still going on, and now Coba's businesses are really beginning to open and advertise what they have to offer. Have you checked out the free hotel room? Or maybe you're grabbing a free meal? Or maybe, just maybe - you're looking into an apartment!

Either way, Coba hopes you've been enjoying yourselves. She has so much to offer you.

(welcome to the first official post! Mingle to your hearts' content, and don't be afraid to make your own posts, either!)

Just wait till she sees Souji, who's pretty obviously spent a few years somewhere since leaving Inaba...

"Most'a that lines up, down to you gettin' kidnapped. But your Shadow never popped out, for us - I mean, I ain't surprised it did for you, being young doesn't stop anyone from havin' issues they don't wanna deal with." He'd know. He's used to being the youngest of the group.

"Anyway, we got you out, but... you were sick for a long time. They barely let you outta the hospital for Christmas, and you had t'go back for a while after that. Teddie figured it was because your Shadow didn't show up, that and how bad the fog is for people."

At the mention of her shadow, Nanako lowered her eyes. It was still a bit tender, truth be told, even if the others had similar experiences. Being confronted with those feelings, especially around others, was a hard pill to swallow.

"I was sick?" Nanako asked, Looking up and blinking a few times. That must have been really hard for her dad, and for everyone else. The other Nanako--she--must have been really sad. "But I got better, right?" It felt so odd to say.

Well, hey, at least she's in good company there. Even if probably only Souji's gonna have any idea of what Nanako's Shadow would have been like - Kanji can guess at some, because he knows what it's like to lose a parent young and not know how to connect to the one you got left.

But his ma was there for him, whether he thought he needed her or not. Dojima-san's more distant by nature, and kind of a workaholic. That part's not really the same, and he knows it.

"You were. It - it got pretty bad, and the hospital had no idea what t'do about it, but you pulled through in the end."

[heavenlychild]

Nanako frowned deeply as she listened to him, not sure what to say. She still didn't quite understand the idea behind there being two versions of herself, but it bothered Kanji deeply. She had to say something to make him feel better, right?

"But everything worked out, right?" It was less a question as much as an observation. Reaching out for his hand, the young girl gave him the best smile she could muster. "That's what matters, right?"

[very_elaborate]

Kanji smiles, and takes Nanako's hand. She's damn good at finding the right thing to say, that's for sure.

"Right. And it did work out okay in the end. Took you a while, but you got better."

[heavenlychild]

Her dad always told her she was a thoughtful kid. "That's good, I'm glad." It still felt odd, talking about herself like that. "I wouldn't want to make you or anybody else sad like that." She had already done enough of that, when her shadow appeared.

But she wasn't going to think about that. She was all smiles now. After all, she wasn't really alone with Kanji around, and the others were here too! Looking up at him, she waited a moment before asking more questions. "Is big bro here? Have you seen him?"

[very_elaborate]

"Wouldn't'a been your fault, Nanako-chan." After all, she got kidnapped - ain't like she went into the TV on purpose. In either case.

Kanji nods. "Yeah, he is. I've seen him, Naoto, Rise, Yukiko-senpai and Chie-senpai so far."

...And Izanami, but that wouldn't mean anything to Nanako, except possibly to scare her.

[heavenlychild]

"Yeah," She agreed, somewhat, although she sounded a bit down at that fact. Whether or not she could help it mattered little in the grand scheme of things; she made people sad, and that wasn't okay. Looking genuinely surprised, the young girl's face brightened just a bit. "Can we go see them?" She looked hopeful.

[very_elaborate]

"Well, I dunno where they all are right this second. But we can go look for 'em."

Worst case, they can find the house. He can start talking her through how she'd like her room done up, even if it's gonna be a while before it's kid-ready.

spoilers it involves a lot of pink

Nanako nodded excitedly, unknowingly gripping Kanji's hand just a little tighter. It felt so much better knowing that her older cousin and friends were there as well. It made it feel far less intimidating.
