[Will this never end? Yuuta comes back onto the network after a few days of absence. Panicking, once more.]

Hello? Is someone there? I need help!

[There was a leak, you see. He didn't close his door all the way, and now, a puddle has stranded him.]

[madeinneochina]

[Sai Saici is quick to answer.]

I'm here! What's going on? Where are you?

Video

[meitori]

In my house, by the front door! A leak has become a lake!

[madeinneochina]

I'm on it! What house?

[It seems the background behind him is showing the rainy sky, almost as if he's flying through it.]

[meitori]

[Oh boy, what next?]

Rose District, Unit Nine. A-Are you flying?!

[madeinneochina]

Well, I'm not flying, my Gundam is, but-- it's a long story, I'll explain when I get there.

[He nods.]

Rose District's where I am, so I'll be there in a jiff!

[meitori]

Thank you again!

[...

Gundam?

He had heard of those before. In manga.]

[madeinneochina]

No problem!

[And he disconnects for now, turning all his efforts to hurrying over and helping out.

But sure enough, in a few minutes, what appears to be a Gundam is hovering outside his window. And in no time at all, the Gundam has crossed the puddle - well, more like a lake - and is standing on the other side.

Sai Saici's voice comes over a loud speaker so it is easy to hear him.]

Neo-China's Sai Saici, here to save the day!

[meitori]

[Yuuta's eyes widen in amazement. An actual Gundam. He should have known that another universe exists somewhere.]

Wow.

[madeinneochina]

Hah, I know, pretty awesome, right?

[And he does a little pose. TOTALLY AWESOME POSE FOR GREAT JUSTICE.]

[meitori]

Yes, it is.

[But what is with that pose?]

Um, is there room for two people on board?

[madeinneochina]

[... oh! Right! The real reason he was here!]

Yeah, sure! You can ride in my hands or you can ride in the cockpit with me, but you have to be really careful - I need a lot of room to move around.

[He's assuming no one knows what the Mobile Trace System is.]

[meitori]

[Yes, that would be good to remember.]

I think that I shall be fine in the cockpit. I do not take up much room and can probably easily get out of the way if needed.

[anotherchopsuey]

I'm. What's the matter?

video

[meitori]

There's a puddle!

[This sounds pathetic, but given how small they were...]

video

[anotherchopsuey]

Where are you? I'll try to come.

[ Don't worry dude, the puddle is nothing compared to the most frightening trap in Kouichi's unit - BED. ]

video

[meitori]

[Yuuta isn't bothering with anything taller than him. The puddle was unexpected.]

In my house. I just... I'm trapped. Water on all sides, snow if I go outside.

video

[anotherchopsuey]

[ This place just doesn't love them :/ ]

It's obvious you're in your house. I mean, what district, which unit?

video

[meitori]

[Noooooope.]

Rose District, Unit Nine.

[Oh, this was so embarrassing. If he was taller, this wouldn't be a problem at all.]

video

[anotherchopsuey]

Thank God it's not far. I'm at Unit Three, the same district.

[ But apparently The Rulers think that changing them all into Thumbelinas will be fun.. ]

Just stay there. I'm coming!

video

[meitori]

Thank you so much.

[And in the mean time, he'll try not to drown.]

video

[anotherchopsuey]

You're welcome.

[ And now he starts doing his best to get out of his own house and come to his but it's not simple with that damn height. ]

video

[meitori]

[He imagines that it's not easy for anyone unless they're able to fly or something. When he does get there, he'll find Yuuta trapped as the puddle is slowly closing in on him.]

[anotherchopsuey]

[ After some time, he finally walked out of his house. He saw some mice from afar but they were eating something and probably not paying attention for anything else. Kouichi sighed in relief.

A few minutes later, he is standing in front of Unit Nine but he can't see the guy anywhere. ]

Hey! Where are you?

[meitori]

[Yuuta barely hears him.]

Just come under the door!

[There is just enough space for him to crouch under, which was how the water got in in the first place, quicker than Yuuta thought. He actually wouldn't be too far away, just around the corner of the frame board.]

[anotherchopsuey]

Under the door..? [ He looks there and...] Oh, damn it!

[ The water is almost everywhere. Sakakibara takes few steps back and after few seconds he walks up again with found big leaf and petiole. He uses these as a boat and a oar and he sails to him. ]

[meitori]

[Yuuta sighs in relief when he sees Sakakibara coming, and on something that is actually useful.]

Thank you so much!

[anotherchopsuey]

It's no big deal. [ Haha, what an irony can be in these words when they are so small... ]

Take my hand, I'll help you step on this leaf.

[ He reaches out a hand. ]

[meitori]

[And Yuuta takes it, doing his best to help jump onto the leaf.]

I will fix this when I return to normal size. I don't think anyone wants that to repeat.

[anotherchopsuey]

[ He helps him and seconds later they both are sailing in direction Sakaki came from. ]

How are you going to fix this?

[meitori]

By finding the source of the leak and repairing it. I might have to find some caulk, depending upon what or where it's coming from.

[anotherchopsuey]

Ah, I see. But you know, if this water is Rulers' work, just caulking might not fix this.

[meitori]

...there is that.

[He frowns a bit.]

Then I'll work on using this new-found magic of mine.

[anotherchopsuey]

[ Oho! You have Kouichi's attention for sure. ]

Magic? Is your denizen a wizard, too?

sorry for the wait!

[meitori]

Yes, I am to become Merlin, apparently. Who is your denizen?

it's really not a problem

[anotherchopsuey]

Merlin...? This one who's said to be the most powerful wizard on the world?

My denizen is Draco Malfoy, from Harry Potter. Dammit..

[meitori]

Draco Malfoy? He was a fictional character in my world as well.

I thought they were all fictional.

[anotherchopsuey]

In mine too... I read these books but I would have never imagined I'll become him someday!

And, I wasn't the biggest fan of Malfoy. He was too spoiled and cruel.

ooc: in contrast to me, I loved Malfoy haha XD

[meitori]

Well, he was spoiled and cruel in the beginning, because that was what he was taught. In the end, he quickly learned that he was taught incorrectly and did not know how to deal with reality as he should have.


[OOC: Me too!]

[anotherchopsuey]

That's true. So we should blame his family for his initial behaviour.
But I'm still afraid I won't get his good qualities...

[meitori]

Perhaps.

But you will just have to do your best to not react like him. In the end, I believe that he was like Harry Potter, but with an opposite life.

[anotherchopsuey]

I'll try not to surrender his convictions and not to treat people like shit.

Eh, great... That's not going to be easy, I think.

[meitori]

Neither is going to try to control all of the powers Merlin apparently has.

[anotherchopsuey]

So what Merlin's powers have you already received?

[meitori]

Just the basics? I already have his eyes.

[It's weird, seeing blue eyes in the mirror.]

I know I can do a few fire spells.

What of you?

[anotherchopsuey]

So you haven't changed that much.

My changes are rather mild, I guess... I've lost my Japanese accent and instead of this I've gotten the British one, and I'm not sure but I find myself being more sarcastic than usual.

By the way, I think I didn't introduce myself. I'm Kouichi Sakakibara.

[meitori]

I am Yuuta Matsukawa.

[He bows his head a little in greeting.]

I will probably find myself acting like Merlin more as well, though what that will be has yet to be seen.

[There are too many versions of him.]
