RETURN OF THE ANGRY GUITARS...?! where my vdr alumni at

[ it's been quiet, hasn't it?

the city isn't abandoned, or anything like that— there's still the ever-present and bustling population of Monars up to their usual zany nonsense, the occasional long-term resident going about their lives. however, the assorted castles (how many even are there, now?!) have been gathering dust. the active war zone has been decidedly in active. the Dressing Room... has become normal.

which means the loud rumble of an incoming engine might actually turn some heads as a bus roars into town, heading straight for the much-abused (and yet still somehow miraculously intact— just like its owner!) tour bus— and screeches to a halt just in time to give it the gentlest of taps. it idles there for a few moments before the doors slide open to discharge a group of disgruntled, complaining passengers— one of whom might look very familiar to old faces.

...or, well. two of whom, actually; the pair that speedwalks the hell out of the bus's potential warpath might as well be twins. the girl trailing behind is shorter by a few inches, but aside from that they're nearly identical: same dark blue hair and eyes (albeit a little duller on the girl), same broad-shouldered build, same straight-backed posture. the same healed-over surgical scars.

they both look over the town with just as similar variations on the particular dead-eyed weariness that comes from traveling in cramped quarters for way too long before the man lets out a huge sigh, shoulders slumping with visible relief. ]

This is it...?

This is it. It's been a while... I'm surprised. It doesn't seem to have changed much.

[ —which is when the backpack Kaito is wearing turns out not to be a backpack at all, a head popping up to look over his shoulders as the much shorter girl piggybacking on him shifts her grip for a better view. ]

Huh. Well, I've certainly seen worse as far as these kinds of places go... lucky us, though, that means we've already got our tour guide. Right, "big brother"~?





((who wants to party like it's 2012. 2013? don't make me think about how long it's been please. feel free to have your characters returning off the same bus or other transportation or whatever if they weren't mysteriously here the whole time. and yes, I did just dump three AUs of the same character in here. behold, my true form...! ...i'm so sorry haha

also heads up for any of y'all with psychic/magic/whatever senses: IT'S A MESS OVER HERE))

Oh, hello

[ before Kaito can stop her she's already hopped down to come trotting over, completely ignoring his abortive attempt to get her attention. ]

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It's an observation.

[ The screwdriver in his hand — not an icepick, promise — gets a single twirl before he stores it in the back of his pants, beneath his long coat. ]

You look familiar. I don't have any records on you.

[ Another observation, as contrasting as it is. Familiar, yet unfamiliar. ]

[ that flourish gets a grin— and even with how much more baby fat she's got and the lack of scars, the resemblance between her and Kaito only intensifies. there's far more cheer to that expression on her than there'd ever been when he'd bared his teeth, but for all that it's friendly it's still got an echo of the same edge to it.

at least for a moment, anyway. ]

It's my aura of mystery— no, I'm kidding, I'm just fresh meat. Familiar isn't that uncommon here, though, right?

Hmm.

[ He's still not sure what to make of her. It's as if he has a fingertip on a conclusion, only for his finger to slip right through it like a ghost. What a strange and bothersome feeling. ]

No. It's not that uncommon. There might even be too many familiar faces.

It does seem like it would get to be a hassle telling everyone apart.

It can be.

Fortunately, some individuals are very... [ He shoots a glance at the oh-so-recognizable face(s?) behind her. ] ...distinctive.
