Nozomi and the Search for Meaning (Open)

Who: Nozomi and YOU!
Where: Random locations
When: Month Llama, Day 16-22
What: Nozomi attempts certain things in order to expand her horizons
Warnings: None? Might change.

Kitchen

Nozomi coughed and gasped as she pulled out a pan from the oven, waving the smoke that billowed from it. She let the cookies she baked in there go a little too long and they were starting to burn. Turning off the oven, she placed the pan down before sighing and slipping down to the floor in disappointment.

"Another set of cookies ruined. Maybe cooking isn't for me..." she grumbled, sighing in defeat. She looked over to the plate beside the pan with a stack of other burnt cookies. They MIGHT taste like sugar cookies if you can handle the burnt sides.

"I should probably throw those away before someone gets sick..."

Gym

Nozomi would be back in the gym training again as Cure Dream. She would be using the dodgeballs again as a means to improve her dodging and deflecting skills. Of course, as seen with the incredibly red face, this has been a slow going as she's been smacked a few times in the face.

"I can do this... I can do this!" she said, launching another ball off a wall and proceeding to try and dodge them as best as she could.

Dressing

Nozomi wandered into the dressing, taking to heart what Hera had told her. The place needed something more than the same ridiculous hoodie and khakis. They needed to be themselves, to have their own outfits, their own looks.

She couldn't believe what she was seeing, though. The entire place was in disarray, like no one had been here in ages. Did anyone come here before now? Or maybe that's because she had no idea who else wandered in here.

She headed for the dressers at the walls and rattled them. Locked? Well, she does have an idea for that...

Wildcard

(OoC: Other shenanigans? Hit me up!)

Kairi liked to explroe now and again, mostly to see if she could find something new and exciting and today was probably no exception. As she soon stood there, head tilted slightly.

"Hey, planning on trying on clothes or something?"

“At least I hope so…!” Nozomi said. “The dresser’s locked, though!”

With that, she went for her CureMo, flipping it open “Guess I’ll have to pull harder!”

Might wanna stop her?

"I wonder why..." She asked pausing briefly as she tilted her head for a moment. There must be a reason.

As she looked over she saw what the other was doing.

"What are you planning on doing?"

“Transforming!” Nozomi said. “Precure Metamorphorze!”

With that, Kairi would see Nozomi transform before her, becoming Cure Dream.

“I need the extra strength if we have to pull these doors open! Though, I do have to wonder why they were locked in the first place…”

Kairi couldn't help but watch with amazement at what was going on before her. She had never really seen anything quite like that.

"That's pretty cool and you are using that to open the door," she said turning to look at the currently locked door. "I mean I don't know really, you would think there isn't a reason. I mean it doesn't make sense."

Nozomi giggled at that. “I’ll show off more once this is done!” She said.

“I’m curious why no one else has tried… it’s a mess and filled with spider webs!”

Going up to the door, she stretched as she turned back to Kairi. “Step back - I don’t wanna accidentally hurt you!” Once she was safe, she grabbed the handle and started to pull. Using her transformed state’s incredible strength, Nozomi ripped the door open… off its hinges and accidentally breaking a second as she staggered in surprise.

"I'll look forward to that." She was at least being genuine in her words anyway.

Kairi didn't know why no one tried herself, maybe no one really saw the point or something. Kairi herself just didn't think about it until now, so it seemed possible.

"Don't worry, I'm tougher than I look, but I will be careful and step back, though you sure you don't need help?" She asked finally taking a step back at least, making sure she was at a safe distance.

What she was next she couldn't help but be shocked. That... was some strength the other had there. Eyes widened as she looked at the damage.

"You... really broke that door didn't you? Hopefully, the train won't get mad or soemthing."

“Ahh… s-sorry!” Nozomi said. “I didn’t think it would go up like that!”

She genuinely looked apologetic at that. She didn’t mean to break it!

"I don't know who you are saying sorry to. But don't worry,. we had no idea this could happen." Because how would they know super strength could do that. No one really.

"Tho I have realized my keyblade could have just...unlocked it, possibly." Considering what it is very much capable of it had been very much possible. But important points... Kairi soon turned around going to the now damaged doors.

"We can at least see what is behind it now, right?"

“You could have…? Keyblade? Huh?” Nozomi tilted her head in confusion. She had an easier way?

"I mean I'm not sure if it would have worked against the train but..." she sao9id hand extended as she summoned her keyblade to her hand. Where it comes from no one really knows.

"This is a keyblade. It looks like a key as you can tell thus the name."

“Oh, wow, so cool…!” Nozomi said, awed. She would touch it briefly, letting the pad of her bracer-covered hand press against it.

“I wish I had known about this earlier, but…” she shook her head.

She soon let it vanish again as she put a hand behind her head laughing slightly.

"To be honest, I kinda forgot for a moment about it, but it's done now so we can look at what is behind, right?"

Nozomi giggled a bit. "It's alright. We'll remember this next time!"

With the doors open, Nozomi turned to look at what was in there... and gasped. Cargo pants, red hoodies and red polo shirts in one dresser set. Cargo pants, blue hoodies and blue polo shirts in another.

"They're... they're our uniforms!" she said. "And if those are red and blue, then the others must be purple and orange, right?"

"It seems so." I mean that would be logical considering the uniforms of Red and Blue were here. If there weren't for the other two it would make her wonder something.

"So all that mystery... for more of what we are used to. That's extremely disappointing. I was hoping for something more."

"Honestly, it really is disappointing." Nozomi admitted, frowning.

Kairi found even herself frowning slightly. She was hoping honestly for something cool. But instead it was just uniforms.

"Brings the question though why lock them away?"

Wait, don't! I'll eat them.

Are you sure? I know it's a waste, but I don't want anyone to get sick... maybe?

Trust me. I've got a stomach of iron, and there's nothing I hate more than seeing wasted food.

Well...

[And she offers the cookies to Kyoko.]

Here you go! I hope they're okay...?

[She won't get sick, even if she could. She'll even taste the sweetness it was supposed to have despite the burntness.]

Hmm. They're not terrible, mostly just kinda burnt. Just don't put them in for as long next time and you'll be fine.

Well, that’s good, yes?

Yeah, you're fine. All you need is a bit more practice and you'll have it down in no time.

Thanks. I’m just trying out new things and… yeah. I’m trying to figure out who I am besides “Nozomi Yumehara, Cure Dream”. That’s really all I’ve been.

A small boy accompanied by a large red dinosaur-like creature come walking into the kitchen just in time to start coughing at the smoke. Takato hastily waves the smoke away from his face.

"Are you okay?"

Guilmon had other priorities.

"Is that food? Can Guilmon have some?"

Nozomi coughed a bit, waving the smoke away herself before sighing and nodding. "I'm fine, but these cookies aren't." she said. "I'm not sure how good they are, though..."

Takato inspects them with a frown.

"They do look a little burnt. I'm sure Guilmon would still eat them, but...." He thinks. "Do you want some help making more?"

"Would it help to have someone else to throw 'em?" Auditi asked, leaning against the wall near the door. She'd been just passing through, but trying to pass with all of the dodgeballs flying around had seemed a little chancy, and then she'd just plain gotten distracted watching the other girl... do whatever it was the other girl was doing. Eventually it kind of seemed like she ought to speak up, though.

“Huh?” Nozomi stopped, catching the thrown balls with her hands. She blinked before nodding.

“Yeah, it is, but I don’t think there would be anyone who could throw them hard and fast enough for me to try and dodge them.”

She shrugged, grinning sheepishly.

"I mean, I'm no thrown weapons expert or anything, but I've got a pretty good arm," Auditi offered with a shrug. She wasn't particularly athletic, but even a nerdy academic blueblood was significantly stronger than most trolls lower on the hemospectrum, and she'd kind of gotten the impression that most of the people around here had physical capabilities more in line with a bronze- or goldblood. "If you want help, that is."

“I’d be happy to have the help!” Nozomi said. “I’m Nozomi Yumehara. When I’m dressed in this outfit, I’m Cure Dream.”

The outfit might be bright and certainly not meant for combat, but it has purpose.

Lena recognized the other girl from back during the mission, and her first thought had been to check and see how she was doing. But she stood back a bit, not wanting to interrupt, even when she'd gotten hit with a dodgeball.

After watching a few more rounds, though, she finally cleared her throat. "Hey, uh...you okay?"

“Owowow…” Nozomi grumbled, rubbing where she was hit. She noticed Lena and smiled.

“Eheh, I-I’m okay. A little… what’s up?”

Lena shrugged a little. "Nothing much. Just kinda wandering around." She gestured to the dodgeballs. "What are you doing?"

"Practicing dodging. I wanted to get some sort of training in." Nozomi replied, shrugging herself. "Also, doing some thinking..."

"Yeah?" Considering for a moment, Lena held her hand up, and the dodgeballs were encased in a blue energy as they started floating in the air. "What kind of thinking?"

"About how to go on a new path." she replied. "I think I've tried so much to be the Nozomi I was modeled after I never bothered to be... just me."

She frowned a bit, not quite expecting that. "Nothing wrong with trying to figure yourself out," she said after a long silent moment.

She could definitely relate.
