Twenty-third Note | ACUTE | back-dated to event's beginning

[perfectvoice]

[So Miku's been laying low since Yuuka's things disappeared--a sign that she was truly gone. On one hand, there's a load of relief, but on the other, she's also a little saddened. Okay, the woman was scary, but she liked her a lot.

And then she got the letter in the mail.]

[PHONE]I'm not killing anybody. Even if it's to get my stuff back, I'm

As well as I've been, sweetie. Everything okay in your house?

Filtered

[perfectvoice]

I...I don't know. Hopefully.

[This isn't the confident virtual diva we all know and love. This is a young girl who doesn't know what she's going to do, besides not kill anybody.

It's at this point that she wishes her things weren't taken away from her. At least she could've given whoever had the nerve to try and kill Luka and/or Rin a leekslapping, but she doesn't have those things right now. She's helpless.]

Honey...

[If it's Miku, Luka can allow herself some emotion to transpire in her usual cool tone.]

Come over here? You can stay with us as much as you want.

A-Ah...okay.

[And she hangs up.

A few hours later, there's a knock on Luka's door.]

Action

[revolving_sound]

[The door opens and she's already going for a hug, although Miku is free to be all dodgy on her and avoid contact.}

Action

[perfectvoice]

[No dodging. She needs all the hugs she can get right now, especially with the fact that she might possibly be in danger herself.

She wraps her arms around Luka, shaking ever so slightly.]

Action

[revolving_sound]

[Aaaah, hugs~ If only the situation wasn't such a bother...]

You...got your body taken away again? Should I assume this is an attempt to level things among townsfolk?

[Certainly doesn't affect her, considering she didn't have a thing to lose anyway.]

It's going to be alright, sis.

Action

[perfectvoice]

[sniffle] They took my leeks and my outfits. And I don't wanna kill anybody.

Action

[revolving_sound]

[Softly patting her head as she lets Miku's head sink on her chest.]

You don't have to do anything you don't want to, neesan. All you need to worry about is to be calm and stay alive. Here, or wherever you need to be. And know that I'll be keeping an eye for you.

Action

[perfectvoice]

Ah...thank you.

[She feels a little better, thanks to Luka.

Here's to hoping her sister's not!husband is okay with an ex-singing robot staying over for a while.]

Action

[revolving_sound]

Don't mention it sweetie.

Now, let's have something to drink and see what can we do to kill sometime.

[Horrible choice of words, but what can you do?]

Action

[perfectvoice]

[Glare at her for a moment before sighing.]

Ah, you're right.
