14 ✿ i believe in vanishing (actually, no i don't, i'm totally still here).
[[nia awakes from her dream with a jolt. it is very uncommon for her to have dreams that actually scare her, but that one sure did. she grips at her blanket and shivers, but then she realizes that it's not nearly as cold in her house. it's warm! woah!
she goes downstairs when she realizes the tv set is on. the announcement goes on and on, and as it continues, the pit of her stomach begins to get tight. something just seems wrong about this. all of these names, some she recognizes... they can't all be gone, can they? and, finally, she hears her own name being announced.]] But... That is not true. I am still here. I did not go anywhere. [[there's a pause before she remembers an inanimate object like a tv can't hear people. but, she knows something that can. so she dashes over to the phone and makes a call.]]
(( Phone // (Morning) // Unfiltered ))
There has been a mistake! I am still here, I did not leave! I do not know about the others... But, I know I am still here...
(( Action // (Morning) Around Town // Open ))
[[she is going to find out about the others, though. bundled up, nia is walking around mayfield, looking for her friends and acquaintances. she doesn't really know what to expect. if her name wound up on the list by mistake, then it's completely possible that others wound up on there by mistake as well. but, she needs to know for sure. this is more important than anything, even school! even cooking breakfast but that probably works out better for everyone!]]
(( Action // (Late Afternoon) 312 Miller Street // Locked to Housemates ))
[[she steps back into the house.]] Badou, Dia. I'm back... [[she wonders if it's worth the energy to announce that, considering all that's happened.]]
