---ear it was just a NORMAL MORNING. This place-- ...look, no clue what stunt it pulled this time. But this?? [The camera pans across
a snowy street illuminated with Christmas lights and
fretted with decorations. People walk by in winter clothes. It soon refocuses on
Umi's annoyed face.] This sure as hell isn't the City! There are American flags around! And cars!
What curse is on today? Some WEIRDO version of that dream thing? Because I've a flower shop to--! ...Wait. There's... blood...? On the street... That's-- [Umi's voice dies as her footsteps come to an abrupt stop. Then the image becomes a blur when the device is dropped with a loud clatter and kicked into a spin as she breaks into a run.]
...DAMMIT, NO!!
[As the camera stops spinning it finally focuses on
a red-haired man leaning against a mailbox. Umi's kneeling beside him, her back to the camera, her hands on his shoulders.] ...Aya! AYA!! ...Please, don't...! Hang on, I'm getting you to a hospital! You hear me?? You're going to be okay!
ANYBODY, help!! [Umi turns to face the camera, blood on her clothes, tears streaking down her cheeks, as she calls to the passersby who completely ignore her.] ...Goddammit...! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE?? Somebody call an ambulance!!
[
Someone rushes past. The device is kicked into a new angle, catching sight of
a group of policemen who all but draw their weapons in Umi's and Aya's direction.] What the--? AYA?! What are you doing?? DON'T MOVE, you're hurt!! [The redhead is now standing in front of Umi, shielding her from the police and prodding her to run. But it's
a vague gesture, almost as if he weren't talking to her. She's having none of that. She goes stand between him and the officers and glares at them furiously.] What kind of cops are you?? STAY AWAY!! Leave him alone...!
[When they seem ready to open fire Umi's icy aura blazes awake.] I SAID STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!
[A huge blast of water seemingly born out of Umi's rage devours the policemen. The feed is cut off as the device is literally crushed by a tidal wave.]

[ ooc : According to
this plot, Umi's been swallowed into a shard of the fountain which replicates the Weiss Kreuz world's version of NY, during the Christmas when Aya got stabbed and almost died on the streets. YES I AM A VERY CRUEL PERSON. The lie in this one is significantly tricky because... it involves Umi unwittingly playing a role to keep the lie going SOB. The loop will start anew after this.
Video/Voice for absolutely everyone until she figures out the lie with
onceaweiss's help. Action for Aya afterward.]
