Fact A-02: Moonlight Paranoia

[hystorical]

 [I. Action | Vicinity of 1248 Williams Road | Open | Night - 12th August]

[It's only Keine's second night at Mayfield, and she'll come to that horrible realization that it's going to be the full moon just the day after, as soon as she looks up at the moon this night.

inevitably, this would be met with a fitting freak out from Keine, as she'll be

[And suddenly she sees her. Aimless midnight walks, go~]

Heeeey! Keine! [Waving, from a few paces behind her.]

[hystorical]

[With her deep in thought, you'll have to excuse her as she doesn't notice you calling out to her at all.]

[paintme_crimson]

Oy, Keine. [Mokou rushes up to her, tapping her on the shoulder.]

Why so down?

[hystorical]

... Eh? [yep. she finally snaps out of it.]

Oh, Mokou. [a smile, showing how glad she is to see you.]

[paintme_crimson]

You're pacing and sweating, and looking up at the sky.

[hystorical]

[at least she now has someone that understands why she's being all frantic this evening] It's... It's tonight! The full moon's tonight! [whatdoIdowhatifIturnwhatifIlosecontrolaaaaasdasdfshgdrerff]

[paintme_crimson]

You know you can't turn into a hakutaku here, right? They take away everything. For right now, you've got nothing to worry about.

[hystorical]

But... There's so much about the place being cruel... What if they left the curse there, as a sick joke?!

[paintme_crimson]

They didn't. If they wanted to play a sick joke, they would have had me keep my immortality. And they didn't.

[hystorical]

But there's not much point in having immortality here, right? Since everyone's pretty much immortal anyway. [people come back anyway right? this is different :|]

[paintme_crimson]

That's exactly why it would be a sick joke. And it's not like that was the first thing they gave back to me either; flight is useful.

[She fishes in her pocket for something.]

[hystorical]

... Mm... [... just watches as she fishes from her pocket there]

[paintme_crimson]

Cigarettes, man. Calm down. [With that she takes a package and a lighter out.]

[hystorical]

You're no longer immortal here, you know. Smoking is going to damage your lungs pretty badly like this. [well at least you got her mind off the full moon]

[paintme_crimson]

Everyone smokes in 50s America, apparently. 'sides, it takes years for lung cancer to take hold and kill. I'll probably have gotten the regeneration back by then.

[Can you tell she's gotten lung cancer before? The look on her face says "ugh."]

[hystorical]

[Yep. Clear as day to see.]

... The keyword being 'probably'.
