[video/action] past midnight on salvation's eve

[recuttal]

[Amidst all the celebrations and decorations, late late at night at completely unreasonable hours were two ratty and bundled up teenagers, looking for all the world like they'd just stumbled blindly into the city from the wilderness. Which, was a pretty accurate assessment actually-- they were two faces that hadn't been seen around the city for over a year, the girl trailed by a scruffy little Shinx, and the boy carrying a perky little Cleffa on his shoulders, all of them wandering around outside in the cold.]

Jeez... is it Salvation Day already? Didn't realize it was already that late in the year...

[Well, he certainly didn't seem to have any qualms with addressing the public at large, despite the odd hours of the night.]

Um... Happy Salvation, I guess? [Awkward.] If anyone's still awake right now at least...

Is everyone celebrating right now...?

[The girl hangs back, glaring a little towards the watch, letting out a visible little annoyed huff. She’s not exactly camera-shy but this just feels so unnecessary-- it’s not like anyone is going to care about this.]

Hajime, it’s like 2am, who the hell are you even going to talk to?

[She leans down to scoop the Shinx into her arms, grumbling under her breath as she presses her nose into his fur.]

Can we look for someplace to fuckin’ sleep? Somewhere that isn’t this goddamn cold?

[The Shinx yowls happily, glad to be bundled up with her rather than padding along the freezing ground, and Junko’s expression softens briefly.]

I mean, y’know, as much as I love all your holiday spirit or whatever.

[At the brief scolding, Hajime instantly seems to dial it back a bit, paying more attention to Junko and looking a bit bashful.]

Uh, right-- Sorry. I was checking to see if anyone knew where we could go… but you’re probably right.

[Over aaaand out. Seems like they'll end up wandering around the city for awhile...]

[Hajime's little look gets an equally quick appreciative glance-- she's absolutely not interested in letting anyone else know shit about her, and especially not some mouthy punk. (Like she has room to complain.) She scowls right back at Kazuichi, but her eyes soften instantly at the Houndour's bark.]

Listen, we'll both come by your place if that's what you really want, alright?

[Junko's not exactly keen on this day trip but Hajime obviously is going to go either way and she's not going to let him wander off alone just to get yelled at. The least she can do is provide backup.]
