003 ~*~ A call to... arms?

[ Phone, calls to: Holland, Shiki Tohno, and Taiwan ]
Hi! I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time, but I'm wondering if you wanted to come up this Saturday to help with the gardening? I think one final push, and we'll all be done!

I'll be preparing a big dinner as thanks for coming out, so any time you can spare would be great~

-There's no answer, but it's obvious she's in there because she hasn't left the room in days, so where else COULD she be.-

[notsogreatwall]

...Miss Patchouli? [ After a brief sigh, she tries the knob. ]

[wizardoftheweek]

-The door is unlocked. Patchy is on the bed as she has been for some time. And like before, she isn't reading. Just... staring into space.-

[notsogreatwall]

[ Meiling stamps down a frown as she peeks around the edge of the door. She steps in, closes it behind her, and walks over to wave her hand in front of Patchy's face (but not too close). ]

[wizardoftheweek]

-That gets her attention, and she turns slowly to face Meiling.-

[notsogreatwall]

Hi. [ Tiny smile as she leans in. ] Aren't you hungry?

[wizardoftheweek]

...

No. Not really.

[notsogreatwall]

When did you eat last? [ Please say "sometime in the last 24 hours". ]

[wizardoftheweek]

The last time you fed me.

[notsogreatwall]

Still no appetite. [ It wasn't a question. She shifts to sit on the edge of the bed, one leg dangling off the side, and hands in her lap. ] I didn't think you'd be this upset. [ With her. ]

[wizardoftheweek]

...

You don't even know what I'm upset about, do you?

[notsogreatwall]

[ Quizzical look. ] I... don't?

[wizardoftheweek]

I know that look... it's the one you get when you feel guilty over something.

[notsogreatwall]

Mm. [ She nods lamely. ]

[wizardoftheweek]

... I don't think you ever had a chance to meet him, now that I think about it.

[notsogreatwall]

...meet who? [ Meiling blinked. She is definitely missing something, here. ] At the... party?
