4th Conviction [Action/Voice]

[cry_camellia]

[Today (i.e. yesterday) Tsubaki does what she always does: not much. She's still adjusting to being blind and it's slow-going. She sits outside House 48 for most of the day, mostly just listening. If you walk past and it looks like she's giving you a dirty look, feel free to take offense and rage or something.

But ugh this can't go on. She needs

[And shortly after...]

I just got your message. What did you want to talk about?

[Filtered]

[cry_camellia]

It's about my vision, actually.

[...] Noel, do you know anything about the spirits here?

[Filtered]

[bullet_dance]

[Spirits...?] The filial spirits? I've learned from two of them before, but I wouldn't say I know a whole lot. Why?

[And what does this have to do with your vision.]

[cry_camellia]

[She's not even sure. Now that she can't see, she can't exactly read up on this stuff.]

I've heard that there's one that might be able to help me, but I'm not sure how to contact it. It's called Hyt, and apparently it's a spirit of light...

[Somebody has been keeping an eye on you from the house, Tsubaki. Shaking her head and gathering up a couple things, Litchi heads outside and gently taps the girl's shoulder to get her attention.]

It's awfully cold today to be outside so long, don't you think?

[Here, Tsubaki. Have a nice warm cup of tea pressed into your hands.]

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

I suppose you're right, but I didn't realize that I'd been out for long at all. [It's so much harder to keep track of the time these days... Though the warmth of that tea is definitely drawing her attention to the fact that she really must have been out in the cold for no inconsiderable amount of time.]

Huh? Oh, thank you, Litchi. This is just what I needed.

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

Any time, Tsubaki. I can't have you getting sick now, can I? [Because seriously, what kind of doctor would she be if she let her housemates fall ill?

Litchi settles in beside her comfortably, tugging her jacket closer around herself. Ever since her own slow recovery, it seems her tolerance for cold has weakened.] Do you need anything else? If you're hungry, I can bring you something to eat.

[Action]

[cry_camellia]

No, I'm fine. I know the weather could be better, but I'm so tired of being indoors all the time.

And, u-um, Litchi?

[onebluebamf]

[As he passes by, he does notice her glaring at him. Which is kind of worrying, given how peppy and upbeat she was last time he saw her.]

... Tsubaki?

[cry_camellia]

[Alas those days are gone. Some of the things she says actually make sense now.]

Yes? I-Is that... [She remembers the voice, but... uh, what was his name again? After the experiment ended she was so busy trying to forget what a fool she'd made of herself that other details were lost in the process.] ... Kurt?

[onebluebamf]

[Well she remembers him, that's something.]

Yeah, it's me. Are you ahh... alright?

[cry_camellia]

[And the first thing that comes into her head is to apologize for acting like such a nut but now she's distracted.]

Yes, I-- [A hand goes to her face, then hair. Does she look unpresentable or something?] --I think so. Is something wrong?

[mikangirl]

[So totally hacked.

B-because nobody's told Nami that Tsubaki no longer wants to kill Noel. ;A; Sorry, don't mind her.]
