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

[futureforbirds]

**After the library of doom made Kaito cough his lungs out, our Kaito Team has decided to go back to the city behind the wall. Kaito's illness has gotten much worse due to his weakened immune system and sleeping outside all the time. But now, here they are. He finds himself staring up at the wall with mixed emotions of relief and dread. How in the hell are they going to sneak in?**

We ended up at the coast. There was a ghost town there - the ruins I mentioned earlier.

[There was also Len, but she didn't really need to know about that.]

[emptyseat]

[No, she probably didn't.]

That's amazing. [Even though it's a 'ghost town', just the evidence that they used to live outside the walls was already cool. Naomi crosses her arms and listens to the radio a bit more, closing her eyes while doing so. What kind of city was out there, creating this music?]

It sounds really amazing.

[futureforbirds]

I was pretty excited to find it...

... Oh! But Naomi, if this is English, and the radio lead us to the sea -

- maybe there are people across the ocean. English people.

[emptyseat]

Hmmm. [Her eyes are still closed as she's thinking.] You might be right, but how is that going to work?

[She looks up at him.] Don't tell me your father left you a boat, too.

[futureforbirds]

No, he didn't.

The ghost town had a harbor with some boats, but I didn't look at them, no idea how seaworthy they'd be.

[emptyseat]

If it's been years, you might want to be careful with that.

I don't want to hear that you've drowned. [She means it.]

[futureforbirds]

Yeah I know. If those won't work, I'll have to think of some other way.

[emptyseat]

[Naomi nodded at him, a little satisfied with that answer. She was still concerned for her friend, but he was determined to do what he wanted. He could take care of himself -- she knew that.]

Well, first you need to get better.

[futureforbirds]

Ah... right.

**speaking of which, KAITO was taking forever with the cough syrup. Maybe he just went to hide somewhere? Was he that shy?**

[deteriorated]

[He wasn't shy, just eavesdropping waiting for his cue like a good actor. Which was now, by the way. He comes out from his hiding place the corner holding the bottle of medicine Kaito requested.]

I hope this is the right one, [he says. It is, he just really hopes they didn't catch him listening or anything. He's not exactly the most subtle Vocaloid out there.]

[futureforbirds]

Oh -

**well, he didn't know what he had been doing, just that it had been a while. And he wasn't about to call him on it either.**

- Thanks!

**so, is taking it**

[deteriorated]

[He hopes it makes Kaito feel better. From what he heard, it sounded like the human was determined to communicate with the other city. If that was the case... then KAITO wanted to help as much as a singing android like him could.]

Do you need anything else?

[futureforbirds]

I think I'm fine... Naomi and I talked about everything, too.

1/2

[emptyseat]

Yeah, we did. [She looks over to KAITO.]

It sounds like he's got a lot of plans, so you better take care of this guy. I know we just met and all, but you can help out with that. Right?

[deteriorated]

Of course, [he says with hardly any hesitation.]

I want to help as much as I can.

[futureforbirds]

Thanks, both of you. I'm glad this happened.
