[She's as bright and bold as usual now, but if you were keeping a close eye on her for the past while, you mighta noticed Chie was... a little off? It's not something she'd admit to, but dropping dead during that flu epidemic really freaked her out. Really, really freaked her out. Especially since she just up and died halfway through a phone

[Peeking out from behind the front door, just watching.]

....

[roundhousekicks]

[Chie is totally In The Zone, so it takes her a second to realize she's got an audience. She lays off the kicks a little, instead just hopping from one foot to another.]

Oh... hey! What's up?

[working_is_hard]

...Ah...

[She thought you were cool.]

[roundhousekicks]

[Still hopping. She's just gonna stare for a second. Come to think of it... even if this kid's in her house, Chie doesn't know her at all. No wonder she's being shy.]

Oh, that's right...! [Stopping the bouncing to plant a hand on her chest now.] Chie Satonaka! I live here too.

[vengeanceshota]

[This is somewhat familiar. Chie, you war on the environment too much. Have a Ken watching you from the road.]

[roundhousekicks]

[SCREW NATURE. >:( You gotta be constantly training to keep your body at its best, right? Anyway, as soon as she notices her bff Ken, she's all waves and smiles.]

Hey, Ken-kun! How's it going?

[vengeanceshota]

[HOW TO ANSWER THAT. Minato died then he died then Aki died then--]

Where've you been?

[roundhousekicks]

[DEAD. That's where she's been. :| ]

Uh... I... had a cold? [Yeah, Chie, that's way convincing.] O-oh! But I'm all better now! See?

[And for good measure, she plants her foot in the soil sack's imaginary gut. The very picture of health and vitality, that Satonaka girl.]

[kaitopants]

[Watching from over the fence, waiting until distaster occurs. He is so not going to warn her, no way]

[roundhousekicks]

[Kaito you jerk. :c Wait for it... wait for it... there we go. She goes in for a reverse roundhouse, and I mean she really goes in for it. The girl's seriously throwing her hips into it, and BAM. First the bag finally ruptures, rewarding Chie's valiant blows with a spectacular spray of dirt, then the branch snaps. The bag hits the ground and coughs up another burst of soil, followed shortly by a tree branch that misses Chie by a few centimeters. And, of course, for good measure, a brief rain of loose twigs and leaves shaken loose by that little adventure.

Yeah. Whoopsie.]

[kaitopants]

[And now he's laughing. Not holding back, either. But to counter this, he's hopping over the fence and approaching her with every intention of helping her]

Need help?

[roundhousekicks]

[It seems like Chie has gained a superpower since coming to Mayfield, and that superpower is embarrassing herself in public. While going back to shutting herself away in her room and quietly dying of humiliation is a very appealing option... if she stops and thinks about it, she must look really funny right now, all covered in dirt and twigs.

So you lucked out, Kaito. Chie's just gonna laugh right along with you, albeit a lot more sheepishly.]

Sure. I'm not that good of a landscaper.

*Because you seem to be attracting small kids staring at you from across streets and such, let's add another one.*

[roundhousekicks]

[She is going to amass an army of small children by the time she's through. She's just gonna take another quick break to wave at her newest spectator.]

[uwahahaha]

[haha, Minori was just walking by, but give her a moment to pause and gawk. She grins and claps]

Huu, those are great! You're really good!

[roundhousekicks]

[Compliments from strangers? Golly, you'll make her blush.]

You think so...? I mean, I'm not a pro or anything, but I've been trying to practice as much as I can.

[uwahahaha]

[she waves her right hand around and then makes a fist pump]

Definitely! I can tell you practice a lot, that's the only way to get good at anything, right?

[roundhousekicks]

Right! If you want something, you have to be willing to work for it. Well... unless you were just born talented, I guess.
