Scene #2497: Emi Hoshino is ruffled

Owner	Pose
Emi Hoshino	The text had arrived to her like it had to everyone else, a text suggesting that Hinoiri had returned 'home' to 'KiraKiraFantastica'. Emi could scarcely even think about the name, let alone say it. When she tried, she got hives, she swears. Itched all over just trying to say that hideous abomination of a proper name for a locale. And Hinoiri had gone there. Oh, she had wanted to go yell at her. Thought about going when she heard through the grapevine that a rescue mission was planned ... but of course, she has no henshin and she's worthless in a fight outside the realm of dreams. And so she sat. And she waited. Building up a headful of steam of annoyance over the length of it. As much as she rationally understood the motivation for Hinoiri's actions, undersetood her need to confront these things, that didn't matter. 'After all the trouble I went to to rescue her from the mess I made she goes and gets herself in trouble on her own?! How dare she?! What is she, ungrateful or something?! UNFAIR!'. None of those thoughts are rational. Emi knows this. She knows she's a teenager. None of this will stop her from, upon Hinoiri's return, seeking her out and storming up to her and yelling, hands on hips, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!" even if she knows exactly what Hinoiri was thinking. Why is she so mad, anyway?
Hinoiri Kirara	Hinoiri Kirara was doing pretty well when she came home, humming lightly as she walked down the halls towards her room. Why wouldn't she? Her friends all came for her. Her mentor had apologized to her, promised to keep in contact, told her she'd always have a home and pretty much made her feel more welcome than she ever had before and... Well... ... she felt, for the first time in ages... just... happy. So, so happy. So how could she not feel amazing? Then suddenly, Emi. In her face. She blinked a few times before giving a small grin. She reached out and... "Boop," she said, booping her on the nose. "Yeah... yeah, I know. I really should have written the note better. I'm sorry, it was very 'I'm going to my doom', right? I didn't mean it like that... but I really did have to face her. For myself, if I ever wanted to grow. I'm sorry I freaked you out too. I hope I didn't worry you too much, but... hey. Wait, you weren't even at the party. Ah, man. I could have seen you as a pony. It would have been hilarious," she said in a teasing tone. "And you could have met my mentor. She'd have liked you. Ohhhhh. And you could have met Runa. She, uhhhh, wants to talk to you, actually. About the Salarymen. Invading and all that." "... But yeah, mostly I was thinking 'If I don't face this now, I'll keep putting it off and I'll never do it. So I need to do it now, for myself, or give up and just nurse this hurt forever'. Sorry I scared you like that."
Emi Hoshino	Emi Hoshino has a lot to say. All of it. And more. She is building up, up, up, up and then ... boop. Her eyes cross at that finger on her nose and she has completely lost her train of thought as Hinoiri more than adequately explains herself. "... y-yeah. I wasn't worried. I was just mad after ... all the trouble I had to go through to get you out of trouble." Totally, Emi. This is very believable. Why IS she so mad?
Hinoiri Kirara	Hinoiri Kirara blinked a few times and then gave a light snort. "Oh, uh huh. Try again, Emi. Nobody gets that mad because of the trouble they went through before. You liiiiiike me. Don't try and hide it. Or... well. I guess it could be something else. Do you enjoy being bullied. Is that it? Are you secretly a masochist? Do you like having someone pick on you who won't let you get away with your big tough guy 'I'm the big scawy tough girl who lights herself on fire' act?" she asked in a teasing tone before reaching up and ruffling her hair. "I'll be honest, I am way too blissed out right now, there's nothing you could do to ruin my mood, so give it your best shot. You can't even make this smile shrink."
Emi Hoshino	Emi Hoshino's eyes narrow as Hinoiri goes all in on teasing her. Then narrow further. "Please, I --" and then she's got her hair ruffled. She spent an hour getting that hair right! She swatse and bats at her hands, "Off! Hey! Stop!" She rolls her eyes at her. "I can tell. It sounds like everything went okay but maybe next time give ..." Me "Give us a chance to talk to you first? There were a lot of people who do like you," not me, "who were worried. Very obviously." She jabs her with a finger.
Hinoiri Kirara	"Everything went okay?" Hinoiri asked, before giggling and gripping Emi's shoulders, giving her a shake. "Are you kidding me?" She then pulled back and did a little spin. "I just found out I'm wanted! My mentor, the woman who wanted me, the woman who I literally almost destroyed this world because I thought she didn't care about me... wanted me. All along. She apologized to me. She told me how sorry she was for everything. She told me I will always have a home there. I'm loved. I'm wanted. I... I thought..." She stopped before sighing, unable to even try and shrink the smile. "I'm just... I feel better than I thought possible. You know? Sure, I might like, not be dateable... but... at least my... not mom... but... the person... who was the closest thing I ever had to a parent cares about me. And I have friends..." She walked past her before saying in a sing-song voice. "And yoooooou like me~ You're one of them~ Neener neener neeeeener~"
Emi Hoshino	'Destroyed the world'. Hinoiri says things like that, and it's just so ... different from the girl Emi has come to known over the interrim she's been here. Sure, she's been shook by her and she tries to pry herself free -- such obvious violence could only belong to soemone who nearly destroyed the world clealy -- and she does manage to hide a smile that is the result of that level of infectious joy. "I'm -.. I'm, like, happy for you? Really? I was just worried someone was gonna run off like a girl without a henshin and a bat, is all. Wouldn't want you to be doing something silly like that." She huffs. And then Hinoiri is walking past her and singing out to her. "OH PLEASE SHUT UP," she yells after her.
Hinoiri Kirara	Hinoiri Kirara just shook her tail at her. Well, she would if she had one. "Noooot a chance. Yooooou like me, neener neener~ I can tell. You came allll the way out here. The others, they came in the portal together to yell at me. You? You waited until I got back to yell at me. Real personal touch, that. It's sweet. You wanted to make it personal." "... But I wasn't in any danger. Really. The msot hat could happen to me, was she'd imprison me. At worst. And that was unlikely. The most likely worst thing... Was... I'd never be able to come here again. But... I had to face her. And it's good I did. So..." "... Wanna be a pony with me later and meet my teacher?" she asked, grinning back at her.
Emi Hoshino	"I couldn't go!" Emi pointed out frustratedly. "And I just didn't want my efforts wasted, you know!" She sniffs, disdainful of her accusations! Disdain! Such RIDICULOUS assertions. "I'm glad you didn't get put in prison, world-destroying-pony-chan and -- wait be a what now," that threw her. No one has explained to her JUST yet, really, that everyone who goes is a pony-when-there. She stares at her. /Stares/.
Hinoiri Kirara	Hinoiri Kirara blinked a few times and then grinned, turning to look at her. "Oh. Oh dear. What did you think I meant when I said I was a unicorn? You do know that this isn't really 'me', right?" she asked. "You've literally seen me. My real form." She moved forward, grinning even wider and reaching up, to poke her nose. "Booooop. Well, if you ever want to see the world I come from, let me know, I can show you. The castle and everything. You can meet the Sovereign, too. And her sister! She wants to talk to you about the Salarymen who tried to invade, anyway."
Emi Hoshino	"No, I know you're a 'unicorn'," huffs Emi. Despite all she has seen -- and hugged -- it is still hard to grasp 'unicorn' when there's the girl right in front of her that is very much not a unicorn. "But if someone does want to talk to me about the Salarymen, I'm obligated to share what I can. I'll meet this whoever. And the 'Sovereign'." Her face screws up. Oh god.
Hinoiri Kirara	Hinoiri Kirara grinned and then... "Oh, and don't worry. She's only... like... ten billion times more intimidating than that security guard who comes by your room every so often to talk about your parol," she said, in that sing song voice of hers. As playful as ever. "So, since you missed the hangout, want me to crash at your place tonight and I'll spill the deets? I'd need to swing by my place to shower and change, though. I've uhhh... had a lot of pie."
Emi Hoshino	A beat. Considering. "... fine. If I'm going to be meeting someone important at some point, I should probably hear all the things so I don't make a fool of myself. Ugh." She rolls her eyes testily. SUCH a teenager.
Hinoiri Kirara	Hinoiri Kirara nodded and then headed towards her room, pausing outside the door for a moment before... "Okay, I'll go switch into something nice. Make sure you tidy up, though. You don't want me to think you're place is a mess, now do you?" she asked in a teasing tone. Just to mess with her, of course. As if she cared... But oh, she really did love to mess with her. It was just so fun to see Emi squirm! And she was going to tell her all about the mont hshe was there in Kirakirafantastica! Even if, on this side of the portal, it was only a week...
