[legberjack]

[Giriko had quite the busy day on Thursday! Busy indeed, and while Mayfield likes a productive member of society, it frowns on Giriko's brand of "hard work."

Sometimes, you just need to reel in the more enthusiastic people. As of such, an empty, distant voice comes onto the phones:]

Ah, Sunday. It's a perfect day for an afternoon bar-be-que with

Comments

[The door opens and...

Suddenly tears. Thousands of them. She doesn't even bother closing the door, just slides to the floor and starts to sob.]

[ladysawsaw]

[And Giriko is ALL SMILES. That empty, drone-like smiling, at least. What could possibly be wrong?]

Good afternoon! My, a young lady shouldn't cry like that. It hides your pretty face.

[clockwrkangel]

[She cries louder and harder and starts to scoot away from her.]

Don't hurt me...please don't hurt me...

[ladysawsaw]

[Just blankness.]

Oh, sweetheart. Now, why would I want to do that?

[wondering_eye]

[Satori opens the door, still seething from earlier. She hasn't realized this is the person she's mad at, but Giriko still gets a glare and a curt reply.]

What do you want.

[ladysawsaw]

Ah, do I have the right address? I'm delivering gifts.

[wondering_eye]

I can't answer your question if I don't know which address you're looking for.

[ladysawsaw]

Oh, I don't, either! A real shame. After all, there's just so many beautiful homes in Mayfield, it's hard to keep them separate at times.

I suppose I'm here to apologize to a young girl. I believe that I acted rather inappropriately in public, and society won't have that at all!

[She wakes up with a strangled cry and the throwing off of covers, clutching at her chest and throat, trying desperately to reassure herself that she was back in one piece, that everything was still there despite her last memory being of her body being ripped open, blades tearing through lungs and heart.

He promised to protect her.

It takes quite a while for her to calm down.]

[ladysawsaw]

[On top of everything else, once Roshia has calmed down, she'll be greeted by an empty voice.]

Good morning, sweetheart! You sure slept in today. Are you feeling alright?

[silno_pyanstvo]

Нет

[The droning isn't really a surprise. It isn't a surprise but she doesn't want it]

[ladysawsaw]

And what is that supposed to mean? Darling, this is Mayfield. We speak English!
