This is insane! Do they really think we're just going to go around killing people because they want us to? What is wrong with this place!

[Someone is angry.]

You can't just...go around killing people like that!

....it's just wrong!

[You can find Meryl in a few places today.

A. Walking down her street.

B. In the park shooting trees in rage.

But people still will. Just armor up and be prepared to defend yourself.

[derringerous]

[She sighs..]

....Yeah...I just needed to get that out there.

Idiots.....

I'm going to do that.

[rapier_ex]

Good luck. There are some merciless people in this town.

[derringerous]

I was hoping there wouldn't be.

But that's probably asking for too much.

Thanks.

[While she didn't feel particularly threatened by the letter Mayfield had sent out, Shiki saw it as as good a reason as any to actually do something in this boring town. She didn't really know who she was supposed to be killing, but she figured it would be a start at least to try looking for her.

... which happened to be all she needed to do. Upon seeing Meryl, she continues to walk towards her with a casual greeting.]

Yo.

[derringerous]

[Meryl glances over.]

Hello.

[emptyshrine]

[She scratches her head kind of awkwardly. It was hard to work up any killing intent when her target looked like a regular person, but... welp, gotta do something.]

Ah, sorry about this, but it seems I have to kill you. [Pulling out a knife as she speaks, yep she's ready.]

[derringerous]

[Wide eyes and backing up.]

What?!

You don't have to kill me!

[ Ohana had been busy dealing with the household chores and had raced out of the house, not noticing the letter that had arrived for her. As a result, she'd been one of the non-drones to turn up at school that day and it was there that she learned about the letters.

What was there for her to do but to go home? (or the reasonable substitute of it, because somewhere along the line Kissuiso had become home, its daily chaos. Not that too perfect house on that too-perfect street but Ohana Matsumae was used to having to make do with what life could give her) Was there a letter waiting for her? ]

Please. Please.

[ Please don't let there be one.

She's hurrying and cutting through the park for a quick and relatively concealed path home. Distracted, half-sick with fear, she's not being as quiet as she should be. ]

[derringerous]

[Meryl hears someone moving in the park and quickly has her gun trained on the noise.]

Whose there! Come out where I can see you!

[latelyblooming]

[ and out crashes Ohana through the foliage, falling down right in front of Meryl ]

I don't have any weapons! I'm just a normal person!

[ she raises her hands anyway. see? no weapons ]

[derringerous]

[Meryl breaths a sigh of relief for a moment, before frowning and going into lecture mode.]

What were you thinking?! People are running around killing each other and your -

[It was the girl in the picture.

Meryl just cuts off and stares at her..]
