It seems everyone's getting in the mood for the holidays now that the mansion has been decorated. Ayumi's still wearing her school uniform, but instead of the skirt she's switched out for pants today; it's a little chilly, and socks just weren't cutting it!

For the most part, her holograms seem to have left her alone for now too, which is nice really- it was a little disconcerting, having them follow her even when she didn't have the deck and duel disk. For now, she can just enjoy having fun with this box of ornaments, and this enormous tree that's shown up in the lobby.

"Ahhhh... It's going to be so pretty when it's done..!" If only someone would help her though... (this thing is huge..!)

"Haha... Well that's okay..! I haven't been here long either!" She starts making her way down the ladder, eventually coming to stand not to far from Shiro. "My name is Yoshida, Ayumi..! Nice to meet you!" Bu-But he didn't even answer your question, he-

"Oh... Hey, are you a relative of Hisoka-kun's..?" Eh. "You look a lot like him; almost identical..!" UH.

"Ah... un." He nods, extremely socially awkward as he is, not knowing exactly what to say.

"...Hisoka?" Wait, wasn't that...? He shakes his head.

Asking if they were related was probably not one of the best things she could have done - but there was no way she could have known that, right?

"Ah- Sorry then..!" Ayumi laughed nervously, shaking her head. "I had to ask... Ah- So then, what's your name..?"

TT_TT

"S-Sashitaru! Ah..." He trails off from the outburst. "S... Sashitaru Shiro..."

Which is obviously NOT his name. But he isn't going to be giving her any more than that. And by the look on his face, it should be obvious that this isn't one of his more favoured areas.

"Mm..?" Now just why is he so jumpy...

Oh well. "Nice to meet you then, Sashitaru-kun..!" And look, the squirrel finally came out to examine you closer... "Ah-" Blink.

"W-Watt-squirrel seems to like you in any case..."

[shirofromfire.livejournal.com]

That squirrel doesn't make him any less jumpy - perhaps if he'd come from a time when those things were more common, it would have been cute. But coming from the seventies? N-not... really.

So- STARING.

He probably hasn't heard or listened to anything she said after he saw Watt-Squirrel.

"Kchiriiiii..." Sniff. Sniff.

...

Snuggleeeeeee

"A-AAAAH! WattSquirrel..!! What are you doing..!!"

[shirofromfire.livejournal.com]

Scared - and completely not understanding what this strange robot-creature is trying to do with him - Shiro stands stock still, eyes wide with panic.

Whatever this is, it might be soft, but it's big, bigger than he is, and he's never seen anything like it before-!

"A-Ayumi-chan...!"

Help me...!

[ayumi-yoshida.livejournal.com]

"A-Aahhh..!! Hang on!" And pulling at Squirrel... And pulling... And... "Sq-Squirrel... Let... Go..!!"

"Kriikirrrrriiiiiiii~ -Kri?" Squirrel and Ayumi let go.

Because much bigger Watt monster picked them up lion-cub style.

"Raown." Hello Chimera...

[shirofromfire.livejournal.com]

While he is now free to move, it is much like - to him, anyway - being thrown from the frying pan and into the fire.

This new monster is bigger and scarier. Shiro just about manages to back away, tripping over himself as he does so and landing on his backside.

Ayumi, might it not be good to explain what they are to the poor boy?

[ayumi-yoshida.livejournal.com]

Ayumi, though currently dangling with the squirrel in cheery Chimera's mouth, hurriedly waves her arms. "Ahhh!! It's okay Sashitaru-kun!! Really! They're safe..!"

As though to support this, Chimera puts both down, with Squirrel shaking itself in a huff as Ayumi explains. "These are the 'Watt monsters'..! They're holograms from the cards in my duel monsters deck..!" ...Wut.

[shirofromfire.livejournal.com]

"W-what...?" Yes, Watt. "Hologram...? Do you mean like in science fiction? But - they seem so real!"

All he has to go on are the movies that found their way over to Japan in the seventies. Like, Star Wars. Or maybe Star Trek. And anything else like that, or that would have come in a comic. He's never thought of this kind of thing being possible before!
