001- [Action] Oichi regenerates in her sleepless hell.....

[lonelyremnant]

[Oichi really isn't the type to wake up and give the usual 'where am I and how did I get here' response that Mayfield newcomers generally do. It may be because she's more used to waking up in confusing places with little to no recollection of how she got there. The first thing she notices, is how very quiet it's gotten. no more shadow voices

[Actually, there ARE birds on the fence of this lawn. Two large, black ones, watching Oichi and wondering what the hell she's doing. They chatter to each other in conversation.]

[lonelyremnant]

Oh.....

[A very faint smile.]

Hello, little birds......

[Reaching towards them.]

But not.

You are the wrong birds. How sad....

[Yeah... she does actually seem sad about that.]

[sanctusdei]

[The birds exchange looks. One of them chatters at her now - he's trying to talk to her. The other one flies off and caws loudly towards the house from the porch - he's getting Theo's attention.]

[lonelyremnant]

Oh... Will you sing for me, pretty bird?

It's a wise bird that sings. Brother always killed the ones that wouldn't.

[Rittz is a pretty easy going guy, so he isn't bothered by the woman who just happens to be standing on his lawn. After a moment, however, he's afraid she might be lost, or scared, so the polite thing to do would be to see if she needs any help.]

Hi!

Need help with anything?

Re: C

[lonelyremnant]

[She seems surprised.]

Help...?

No.... you can't help me.

[She giggles, but there is an edge to the sound that doesn't quite belong.]

But so nice... So nice to ask.....

[Her expression turns sorrowful.]

But far too late...

[toothsnort]

[Oh, well his face falls a little at that. That sucks to hears.]

Well...are you sure?

I mean, it may not be as late as you think.

[lonelyremnant]

No.... It's always too late...

Everyone has already gone. Gone far away. They've left me.

[She shudders. She hates always being alone.]

Lord Happy, Lord Grumpy, even Brother, they all left. Left me.... alone.

[Luka is wandering around, trying to find the shopping place, when she suddenly notices a dazed woman wandering dangerously in the traffic. She stares agape for a minute, until she's sure the woman is not getting out of harm's way anytime soon. Oh no, she can't leave things like this.

She runs in carefully and grabs the woman by the arm.]

What are you doing? You're about to get yourself killed!

Re: B

[lonelyremnant]

[She cringes away, almost as though expecting to be struck. When no violence comes, she chances a look at the other girl.]

Forgive me....

Everything... is so strange....

Re: B

[moneydearboy]

[Startled by the girl's reaction, Luka releases her arm as a reflex.]

Oh, I didn't mean to...

[Cars still rush by them. It's probably not a good idea to stay there. She inches closer to the lost girl and speaks with a gentler tone.]

Look, we're in a dangerous place right now. Let's get out of here.

[Instead of grabbing her again, Luka motions for the girl to follow her.]

Re: B

[lonelyremnant]

[Follows her without protest.]

Everything is so loud here. So many angry creatures, all rushing past.....

[She's talking about the cars.]

A

[redtogold]

[Ah, the park. A place where kids roam, a place full of fun and safety and not depress-

Oh. Well, that is strange. One little, average-looking (for now) blond boy peers curiously from behind a tree.

Acorn collecting would have to wait. This lady looks a little- er, odd?]

Unu?

Re: A

[lonelyremnant]

[She glances at him, then goes back to watching the leaves.]

See them all falling? They die so prettily....

[gezellighe]

[Staring at her. . . staring at his flowers. . . ]

[lonelyremnant]

[Turns and stares right back. Although she almost seems to be looking through him rather than at him.]
