[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.**

I am one of a kind.

[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?

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[She hums in thought.]

I think it'd be fun to have more of you, but maybe it's not my decision? You might have to ask KAITO and the human Kaito for another little Kaito!

[abovethewall]

**He thinks about that.**

Would I be a big brother then?

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

If he was made later than you were, yeah! [Oh, that gets her excited.] Little siblings are fun, too!

[abovethewall]

They are?

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Yeah! You can teach them things and team up on your older siblings.

I kinda miss mine... I hope we'll be able to find them, too.

[abovethewall]

Team up?

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Sometimes we'd think of things together and trick our Brother! One could distract him, while we trip him... something like that. We used to play like that a lot.

[abovethewall]

That's playing?

It sounds weird.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[She laughs awkwardly.] Maybe for us, but not for him. He never got really angry or anything, though.

But, yeah, it's still fun to have little siblings! Just so you don't feel too lonely, sometimes.

[abovethewall]

Okay.

[He doesn't really get it, but whatevs]

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[brb imagining a flood of little Mekaito. It's just. Too cute.]

[abovethewall]

**busts the last crate. It has spare life jackets! He has no idea what they are.**

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[She does!]

Oh! Life floaties! They help you from sinking into the water!

[abovethewall]

... But we're made of metal.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Um, I guess if you're not too heavy it'll still work? I've mostly seen humans use them anyway.

[abovethewall]

Oh. We should give them to Master then. **he's grabbing one and walkin' over**

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

[Also grabs one! Just to... blend in.]

[futureforbirds]

*and Kaito now has a pretty good idea of how much more crap they can put down here. He turns around to see the lifejackets*

Oh, hey, that's useful. Good job!

As for me, I'm ready to start loading stuff on.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

What kind of stuff are we bringing?

[futureforbirds]

Well I was thinking of looking for fishing stuff, but I dunno if it'd be any good after this long, so I'd have to see. Basically anything in the abandoned stores that looks like it could be useful. But the crates had a lot of stuff too **he nods toward them** So we probably don't have to get as much.

[leftsleeping.livejournal.com]

Okay! Just let me know how I can help, sir!

[Pause.] Um, or should it be Master? My previous Master isn't here right now, but I don't know...

[futureforbirds]

Oh...

Y-You don't have to call me that if you don't want to.
