6: Action

Dec 16, 2010 20:39

[It is evening, and a warmly-dressed redhead is making her way down to the freezing river with a bulky bag cradled in her arms. By the time she gets there from House 55, she kneels in the snow on the riverbank and sets down her bag, unzipping it to remove the contents.

Within about ten minutes, April is surrounded by many small glowing paper lanterns, trying to honor her fallen housemate in her own mishmashed East-meets-West way. The only things she knows about the Bon Festival are the odds and ends that Master Splinter had shared with her on the last anniversary of Hamato Yoshi's death.

Hoping that she's doing it right, April leaves a number of the tiny lights glowing around her for warmth and maybe companionship, setting the rest in any water that isn't icebound. She'll be there until the cold drives her indoors or her lights go out. Whichever comes first.]
