Yuki jumped, choking mid inhale on her vape. She spun around, panic briefly flickering through her eyes as she immediately began tugging and banging against the booth.

"What the hell- ISAAC?? HEY ARE YOU OKAY?!" she called, squinting but unable to see through the seemingly perpetually frosted glass.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

“What do ya say Yuki? Wanna go solve a mystery?”

If Yuki heard his fumble, she didn't show any indication.

"Yyyyyesir~" she gave a mock salute, winking as she turned and pulled out both her wrench and her vape.

She needed a hit.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

"HELL YA ADVENTURE!" she whooped, jogging along after him enthusiastically.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

"Hm? Uhhhh" Yuki squinted, staring for a bit before her eyes lit up.

"Oh- a phone booth! Damn I haven't seen one of those lit up in ages, what do you think are the chances it works?"

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

She hummed an agreement, returning to her pace beside him.

"Yeah, I'm curious if there's anyone else around here from another time too. Heh, that Bram dude looks like he's out of a silent film. All he's missing is the bowler cap." She chuckled a bit at the image forming in her head.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

Yuki seemed to lighten up a bit, flashing him a grin.

"Yo for real?? Sick dude- Attic buddies!" She punched his arm affectionately, though for her size she packed a surprising amount of force behind it.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

Yuki's expression didn't really change. But she pointedly didn't meet his eyes.

"Phili huh? We're not to far apart- location wise at least, heh." She hummed a bit to herself in thought, kicking a rock down the street as she walked.

"I'm from Staten Island. I work at a little car garage that I rent the upstairs of." She didn't really answer the question he asked.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

"Oh yeah? Our weather was pretty inconsistent, I remember as a kid during winter the snow piled up over my head! Then of course we'd catch the end of any hurricanes going up the east coast every summer. Once school was delayed for like a month from all the damages." Yuki rambled a bit, eyes trained on the sky in thought. She didn't seem... Nearly as stressed about their circumstances as she should be. Barely seemed homesick, even while talking about home.

"Where're you from anyway? Only thing I get from your accent is your time period." She chuckled a bit, glancing at him curiously.

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

"Whatever you say boss~" she hummed in agreement, shuffling a long as she eyed the buildings around them.

"I wonder if it just... Stays like this. Y'know- dark and dreary and shit. I already have vitamin D deficiency that shit would SUCK."

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

"Well if it's anything like that little cat thing I think we'll be fine!" She hummed a bit as she followed along, tossing her wrench up and down as they walked.

"So where you wanna go? The junkyard I arrived in had some kiiiiinda useful parts, but I didn't really look all that deep. It might be better to see what else is here. There might be others too."

“Looks like people are going in pairs.”

*Isaac skips over to the door and holds it open.*

She stopped spinning on her stoll abruptly, nearly throwing herself to the floor from the momentum alone as she focused in on Isaac, mirroring his enthusiasm and then some.

"Hell yeah!" She hopped up, nearly crumpling as soon as her feet hit the floor and dizziness hit her like a bus. She managed to stumble her way over eventually, nearly tripping as she made her way through the open door and flashed Isaac and cheeky thumbs up.

"Nailed it."

Yuki's eyes sparkled as she leaned in towards Isaac in fascination.

"You're from the 80's?? That's sick dude!! Oh god what happened in the 80's- Have you seen Back to the Future? Is Ronald Reagan as insufferable as he seems in history books? Has the Soviet Union collapsed yet?!"

*Isaac is peacefully off in dream land, when the chime of a bell startles him so abruptly he falls off the back of his bar stool.*

“OOF!.. rats that’s gonna leave a mark.”

*Rubbing his head Isaac looks back from his spot on the floor to see two people enter the diner.*

“Hey guys look! We got a couple a newbies!”

"The year of our Lord twenty-twenty-four!" Yuki announced, still spinning in circles on her stool without much care.

"You're missing out! Lil dude can mimic voices and shit, and after I was done panicking and busting my nose it kept me company for a bit! Lil cutie~" Yuki hummed in content, continuing to spin herself in circles on the bar stool she sat on.

"I'm Yuki!" The cotton candy themed girl licked some syrup off her lips as she waved.

"Oh yeah- did either of you run into this uh- cat thing? It talked? It sounds like it's kinda just been wandering around town and it's the closest thing to supernatural I think any of us have found so far." She asked curiously, pushing her now empty plate away while spinning around on her stool.

"Hm?" Yuki looked up from the plate of waffles drowning in syrup and whipped cream she had been stuffing her face with, her eyes lighting up upon seeing the two enter.

"Oh shi' fres'th mea'th!" She swallowed the mouthfull of food she had, wiping her mouth before waving enthusiastically.

"Hey! Hope you're hungry and willing to not ask questions, 'cause I don't know WHERE this shit comes from but it SLAPS." she stuffed another mouthful in, fully content in eating her mystery waffles.
