[IC] [Old Radio/Waiting in Earth Crossover]

[futureforbirds]

**Their travels bring them back to the cliff overlooking the ruined coastal city. Though it was the first visit for one of their party members - Miku, whom they'd met back at Kaito's home city. Since she acted so young and carefree, Kaito had tried to make their trip over as fun and happy as possible. But now that they were here, with the ghost town in sight, Kaito's smile sobered. This wasn't just a long camping trip. They had to get serious.

He shoved his hands in his pocket as he stared down on it. They'd probably want to pick up the supplies they weren't able to take last time. And more importantly, he really hoped that the boats in the harbor were seaworthy. The knowledge that their radio was in English was an excellent lead, but it meant that they had to get off of this island.**

[She tires to take a look.]

Really? Do you think it really was?

[futureforbirds]

Er, I don't know... I just read about them in books.

I don't think real pirates had computerized ships, but the library at home left out everything about technology, so...

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Then maybe it was! [She's kinda excited about this.] I'll tell brother, later.

[She emulates how she's going to do it, too.] Brother, we found lots of rum! Maybe this was a pirate ship!

[futureforbirds]

**pffff.**

All right, we'll see what he says to that!

**he's still following Mekaito around cause Mekaito is doing all the work for them. Found a crate with blankets!**

Oh, this could be useful. Thanks Little Kaito!

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[She's following along like a good party member. It's fun to watch Mekaito break open the crates and see what's inside. It's like a weird version of Christmas.]

He's really strong!

[abovethewall]

**pauses momentarily to look over and give Miku a little smile, but goes back to what he was doing**

[futureforbirds]

**...thinks he liked hearing that. Grin**

Yeah, he really is! Especially for his size.

[abovethewall]

... **Miku's better at this than you. Blinks at something else**

Huh?

**seems to have found someone's personal belongings. Pulls out a ship in a bottle and looks at it in UTTER CONFUSION.**

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[She also blinks at it.]

I don't think you can drink that.

[abovethewall]

**he shakes his head, but keeps peering**

How did it get stuck in there?

[futureforbirds]

**Kaito came closer to have a good look. Not many people made these back home, but he's seen pictures.**

... I guess it's like a puzzle.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

A puzzle? Taking it out or putting it in?

[futureforbirds]

Well... putting it in, but taking it out would be hard too. Look, the ship is bigger than the entrance of the bottle.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[Stares at it a bit more.]

I wonder how much it cost?

[futureforbirds]

... Wow, no idea.

**After all, what with the value of money, inflation and whatnot, he had no way of knowing how much things cost however long ago this ship was in service. Mekaito handed Kaito the bottle and went back to opening things.**

You and KAITO might know more than me about what things cost back then...

**his eyes followed the little Kaito, and then he looked around to see if there was anything he could investigate rather than follow him around and gawk**

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[Miku watches him wander off in search of something else. She, on the other hand, was more than willing to follow around and gawk. She wasn't built for super-strength like the little powerhouse here.

Speaking of which, she leans over and whispers to him:]

What's gonna happen after we open all these? Are we really gonna go sailing?

[abovethewall]

Yes. We're going to "England."

**He's pushing some crates around so he can get further in.**

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Do you know what it's like over there?

[abovethewall]

No. I just heard about it.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Oh. [Ha, guess they were both blind.]

I guess we'll see. Are you excited?

[abovethewall]

Maybe. [He tries to think if he knows what that word means]

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm... [She starts to think about it.]

I wonder if there's other Vocaloids there. Or maybe little robots like you.

[abovethewall]

I am one of a kind.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[She can't help but laugh. It's his serious expression that does her in, really.]

You probably are! But that's okay, it's better that way.

[abovethewall]

... You don't want more than one?
