(the first.) ❁ ❝ we'll meet where the sun goes to hide from the rain ❞
❶ action ❧ bilko boulevard
[ well if you're whiling the day away, maybe on your way into one of the houses along this boulevard or just passing through, your peaceful day is just about to get that much noisier
cue one door slamming open and a tiny figure comes racing out one of the houses along the street. meet: one ohana matsumae, new arrival. young, confused and has been getting a workout lately to improve her stamina so her lung capacity right now? v. impressive ]
EH?
[ she's slowly turning in a circle, taking in the surrounding houses, the manicured lawns, the cheery drones pleasantly pleasanting past her, the disturbing uniformity... ]
EH?!
[ ...the noticeable lack of a Japanese hot springs inn in her immediate vicinity ]
EH?!
[ and she's throwing her hands at the sky about to exclaim... something (important I'm sure) but she's stopped by the fact that she forgot that one of her hands? happened to have been already holding something
a lacy something
a private lady something
and having accidentally tossed it into the air it's slowly floating back down to cover her face (in shame and embarrassment)
now would be an excellent time to remind her that she has an audience ]
❷ action ❧ around the neighborhood
[ now that ohana's been given a sort of orientation or at the very least been convinced to not run around town clutching ladies' underwear, she's determined to go back home and get some answers from her assigned "family"... now if only she could remember where that is. not having been blessed with ruby red slippers for instant home teleportation, she has to find it as many an honorable young girl scout and annoying salesman has done before her: knocking on doors.
...although a tiny bit of that ladies' underwear might still be peeping out from her pocket ]
I'm not trying to sell anything!
❸ action ❧ inside the house
[ the front door opens and Ohana peers in all recon-stealth. she's checking to see if she's finally got the correct house this time and when she sees the family pictures that included herself, she nods. ...and then moves back from the door and almost swinging it shut.
-and BAM! nah she wasn't really gonna leave, just wanted to make a loud entrance as she's charging in hoping that shock could compensate heavily for awe. with her mussed up hair, angry face and green sundress, she looks more like an incredibly aggressive sunflower. she's launching herself through the door again, slamming it open and yells- ]
I'm coming in!
❹ phone ❧ general broadcast
[ if you've been making/listening to general broadcasts this day/afternoon you might be hearing this over the course of the day: the line's definitely open, you can hear the usual household noises in the background... ]
[ and then the click of someone hanging up ]
[ the line is picked up again ]
[ click ]
[ open again ]
[ you guessed it! click ]
[ once more with feeling ]
[ CLICK ]
[ uhyupopen... ]
What's going on? Why do I keep hearing other people talking on this line! I'm sorry I- didn't mean to hear anyone's private conversations!
