[fortunepreserved]

Qiqi can be found just about anywhere. She walks around town and the nearby environs at all hours of the day and night, quietly picking her way through whatever plants she can find. In the winter, she spends a lot of time brushing snow aside to see what lays beneath.

Sometimes you can find her doing her daily exercises.

Qiqi does not have a permanent residence, but will spend time in the communal areas of the residence halls. She tends to forget where she's left her belongings.

Qiqi has a phone, so you can also call her or text her or facetime her anytime.

[spychic]

Yeah. It was Tenn's house. Tenn is gone now, though...but okay. We will check other houses.

[Anya nods, self-assured. And then she tries to open the house next door. Doesn't work. She knocks on the door.]

This is going to be a lot of work. But. Anya should keep trying to find Haruka....

[fortunepreserved]

Should Qiqi freeze the door and break it open?

_{[ Qiqi's got her scary sword with her, as always. ]}

[spychic]

...

Well....Anya should not break things, but....this is an emergency, so...

[Do as you see fit, Qiqi.]

[fortunepreserved]

Orders given.
Orders received.

_{[ The pretty blue orb on Qiqi's hat glows... ]}

Please stand back.

<sub>[ ...

One hunk of ice door, and one swing of Qiqi's scary black sword later...

They can go inside the house! ]</sub>

[spychic]

[Anya stands back, her eyes wide.]

Huaaaaa. That's so cool. Anya's gonna learn too. From Professor Eisner.

Anya will learn knives...

[Anya steps inside now that the door is no longer.]

HELLO? HARUKA? ANYA AND QIQI ARE LOOKING FOR YOU!

[fortunepreserved]

<sub>[ Oh, so Anya's gonna be a mercenary? Qiqi wonders if there's going to be any new things they should add to their routine...

She follows Anya in, a quiet shadow, and when there's no initial signs of movement in the house she starts going to doors and opening them. Anya can be the lungs. Qiqi will be the battering ram.

...

The day is young... who knows how long until they get tired and need to go get Anya lunch... ]</sub>

[spychic]

[Anya is up to get all the training from anyone she needs.

She acts as the lungs.]

HELLOOOOOO? ANYA AND QIQI ARE BEING POLITE BY KNOCKING FIRST BUT WE ARE ASS....ASSERTING OUR AUTHORITY BY COMING IN ANYWAYS!!! HARUKAAAAAAA.....

[This may go on for a while. These poor doors.]

[fortunepreserved]

<sub>[ Many... Doors.... Later....

As they're walking to the next house, Qiqi looks up at the sky, and stops short. ]</sub>


It is noon now. Time for lunch.

[spychic]

Oh! What will Anya eat today....

Mmm. Anya may have to make Anya's own food. Haruka helped before. Now Anya is for Anya's self. Except for you, Qiqi.

[fortunepreserved]

Oh.. is Anya not too tired?

Doctor Baizhu needs help with meals sometimes when he's too tired. He has to sit down and he tells Qiqi where to find the ingredients, and Qiqi washes them off and cuts them up. It is just like preparing medicine. But Qiqi can't cook the ingredients.

[spychic]

Anya....doesn't like making Qiqi work for her. Anya worries about depending on people too much. That's why Anya is doing so much. So Anya will take care of people instead...like a hero. Like Bunnaby.

[She smiles, though.]

We can work together! Let's make sandwiches!!!

[fortunepreserved]

I see...

_{[ A friend.. who cares for her but will tell her not to do things, sometimes, for the sake of not wanting her to do too much... Qiqi puts a little hand on her still heart. She can't... remember... having a close friend like that before. ]}

Qiqi... will be happy to work together.

[spychic]

Yaaaaaaaay!!!

[Anya beams, beginning to skip back to her home.]

Anya will get you something too, since Anya is getting food. You like milk, right?

[fortunepreserved]

Qiqi's favorite is coconut milk. _{[ she still remembers the name... it's only been a day since the meeting... she'll revert to Cocogat in a day or two inevitably ]} But Qiqi likes regular milk too. Qiqi only likes cold food~.

Qiqi would like to do the spreading for the sandwiches. That part... was the most fun, last time. _{[ she misses parts of working in the pharmacy, and she's worried she'll forget how to do them if she doesn't keep in practice. sandwich spreading is sort of familiar!! ]}

[spychic]

Only cold food for Qiqi. Anya understands!!! Qiqi should try coconut ice cream sometime...it is good.

[She's skipping to her home, and she nods.]

Qiqi can spread! Anya will get ingredients and Qiqi will spread. Then Anya will eat!

[fortunepreserved]

_{[ The day Qiqi tries ice cream is the day Qiqi will have a new favorite food. Sorry, coconut milk, but ice cream is colder. ]}

Ice cream.. that sounds pleasant. Wanna try~.

<sub>[ Anya's-- Tenn's house feels lonelier than usual when they go inside, knowing now that there's a few people who have vanished from it... If they don't find Haruka... Qiqi hopes Anya moves to another house. Maybe this house has a curse on it. Qiqi doesn't know how to break curses...

It will be hard, remembering the route to a new house, but that's okay. ]</sub>
