[1: Wednesday 8/17 - Action (340 Brady Lane)]

[After escaping Spades, Marisa ran to the first place she could think of where she would be safe, sneaked inside and hid. In a certain magician's room. Under her bed. At least until she calmed down. Sadly, she wasn't hidden quite as well as she thought she was...]

[Yeah, this household is depression central. With arguments breaking out everywhere.

Don't expect a warm welcome. And Shiki is occupying the couch silently for the time being.]

[adropofjupiter]

[Sadly, Marisa never expects a warm welcome. She lets herself in, like always, and just plops down on the couch next to Shiki.]

Hey.

[artwithknives]

[Shiki just looks at Marisa, gives a small movement of acknowledgement and goes back to staring at the ceiling.]

[adropofjupiter]

[With the way Shiki was acting, she wanted to sarcastically ask why the somberness, did someone die? Then she realized that was a very real possibility given her own experiences.

And then she got worried it was true, sitting up and quickly turning to look for Alice... or even the bird.]

Where's...?

[artwithknives]

Alice is around somewhere.

[Thankfully not dead anymore. But his voice is extremely monotone.]

Besides, what happened to you?

[adropofjupiter]

Milk.

[Really, there isn't any better explanation. It was a catch-all. And she didn't realize what Shiki was specifically talking about.]

[artwithknives]

Milk doesn't make you wear a scarf around your neck to hide bruises.

[adropofjupiter]

[Oh that. How did he--?]

It does when it makes your not!father strangle you.

[artwithknives]

Should I kill him, I wonder....

[He says that disturbingly casually.]

[adropofjupiter]

...that right belongs to Patchy.

[And it bothers her to say that, to say she was willing to let Patchouli kill, but she knows if pushed far enough... Well, Patchy WAS youkai.]

He's been warned. I managed to get away, so...

[artwithknives]

I still feel like doing something like that though.

[adropofjupiter]

Killing in general or killing someone specific?

[artwithknives]

Killing the guy who did that to you.

[adropofjupiter]

I don't think it'll make you feel any better. It won't make me feel any better.

[artwithknives]

...this sucks.

[adropofjupiter]

Yeah. It does.
