14th Cinder: Akai Namida

[flameyedhunter]

Action: School [ Shana is standing on the roof today, cloak billowing around her as she looks out into the noon sky. Her expression is like the mask of a porcelain doll. At her feet is a half-eaten box lunch. ]

Action: Park [ It's late afternoon. Shana is sitting near the pond, staring into it with slightly dull eyes, her slender shoulders

[Misaka climbs up to make it up beside her.]

What are you doing up here?

[flameyedhunter]

Eating lunch. [ And by eating she means not finishing. ]

[1_21jigawatts]

But you're not really doing that at all.

[flameyedhunter]

....

Does that mean you want to finish it? That's okay too.

[[Aaron will see her by the pond. She's usually very active but at the moment...

... depressed isn't something he sees often with her.

He walks up and sits down beside her. Not talking, just sitting.]]

[ Shana just sits with Aaron quietly for a long, long time. ]

[[After a long while.]]

What happened?

Re: Park

[flameyedhunter]

A lot of stuff... some people showed up who I didn't particularly want to see, really. It made things a lot more complicated.

[Man, fuck going to school. Pokey had chosen to play hooky and piddle around for the day, and it ultimately led to him getting to the park as the day went on.

...There's something bothering her. He should just leave now, and not say anything, and leave it at that.

But he can't help it. She's always been decent to him and by this point? He's learned that's worth repaying.]

....Hey.

What's your problem?

[flameyedhunter]

Stupid crap, that's what, Pokey.

...

Are you all right?

[godisachild]

[Pokey shrugs. Other than having yet another person from his future pop up, things haven't been that bad.]

Eh, could be worse.

Yeah. Stupid crap come and goes around pretty often here.

You....wanna talk about it?

[It's awkward, saying that. Checking on that. But he has to at least try. He's starting to really get that.]

[flameyedhunter]

Some people from my... friend's home showed up. So I don't need to worry about him anymore. That's good... right?

[Aurora doesn't notice Shana at first, because she's focused on one thing at the moment: ducks! She had a bag of bread crumbs and a big smile on her face as she comes up to the birds, who all see food coming and start coming forward.]

Oh! Now now, there's plenty enough for you all, I think! Don't fight!

[She'll start tossing some food at them... and then notices she's not alone. I-Is that a sad person oh goodness we cannot have that]

Hi there! You wanna help feed them too?

Re: park

[flameyedhunter]

Feed what? [ Shana blinkblinks a few times at Aurora ]

[forever_cheery]

[She gives Shana a look like YOU SILLY GOOSE.] The ducks, of course. I mean, they're only over here going crazy. Here. [She'll toss Shana a piece of bread.]

[flameyedhunter]

All right... [ She takes the bread, and begins crumbling it up to feed the ducks. ]

[Kyon'll take a seat next to her...]

Yo, didn't get a chance to talk at school today. SOS Brigade nonsense and all, y'know?

Anyway, what's up? You're looking down.

[flameyedhunter]

Haruhi's back, and I know how important she is. You can't leave her alone, can you?

[sosnarrator]

More like she can't leave me alone. I didn't exactly volunteer to join the Brigade.

[flameyedhunter]

How did this happen then?
