Hello friends! Sorry it's been a while since I last posted! But I'm back and writing now, so let the hilarity resume! Also, I know everyone is taking it in stride, but seriously, stranger things have happened to them. I mean, really. If that's not good enough, just pretend there was an hour or two in the middle somewhere where they're all being hysterical. Except, of course, Kululu…
Dororo looked expectantly ay Doriri, expecting her to declare her sleeping arrangements as well. She remained silent, however. None of her team nor his seemed to notice this silence, but it bothered him. He saw much of himself in her, for obvious reasons. He wondered if she was left out, too.
Doriri was uncomfortable under Dororo's stare, but tried not to show it. Doriri rarely let anything show, emotion or thought. That's why she kept silent.
Dororo could sense she had a reason for not declaring her living arrangements, but decided to push the issue, anyway.
"And where are you staying, Doriri?" he asked loudly, so the whole room could hear. Instead of replying, she merely shrugged.
"Well, if you can't think of anywhere, you're welcome to come stay with Koyuki and me," Dororo told her, and disappeared once again into the ceiling.
Doriri watched him go, not really caring. All she really cared about was growing her own food and the successful completion of their mission. She also loved her solitude.
After a few minutes she went outside, walking past Gertrude setting up her tent, Giroro stewing angrily over his own tent, which had been flattened by their landing, and Kulala, frantically pushing buttons on her little box.
Doriri launched herself over the Hinatas' fence, turning her invisibility device on in midair. She probably wouldn't need it, she moved so fast, but it couldn't hurt to be cautious, right? Especially behind enemy lines.
She whizzed up onto the neighbor's roof and jumped from housetop to housetop towards a forest she saw on the edge of town. She'd learned early on to live in nature; she'd just make her own shelter in the forest.
When she reached the edge of the forest a few minutes later, she began to search for a suitable campsite.
By the time darkness was starting to creep up into the sky, Doriri still hadn't found a place to stay. She was getting irritated. Usually, in a forest this size, there'd be at least a few semi-comfortable campsites, but she hadn't had any luck.
Suddenly she walked into a clearing and found herself standing right in front of a small house, no more than one or two rooms. There was a water wheel turning in the stream out front. She could hear voices coming from inside.
Going into stealth mode, she crept silently toward the house. If she was going to attempt to live in the area, she'd want to know who she was going to have to hide from. For instance, professional trackers or hunters would be good people to avoid.
She jumped up onto the roof, landing soundlessly on the balls of her feet. She edged wordlessly towards the area of roof above the door, and heard a female voice talking.
