friday / saturday ;
action ❧ in the park with meryl
[ Ohana had been busy dealing with the household chores and had raced out of the house, not noticing the letter that had arrived for her. As a result, she'd been one of the non-drones to turn up at school that day and it was there that she learned about the letters.
What was there for her to do but to go home? (or the reasonable substitute of it, because somewhere along the line Kissuiso had become home, its daily chaos. Not that too perfect house on that too-perfect street but Ohana Matsumae was used to having to make do with what life could give her) Was there a letter waiting for her? ]
Please. Please.
[ Please don't let there be one.
She's hurrying and cutting through the park for a quick and relatively concealed path home. Distracted, half-sick with fear, she's not being as quiet as she should be.
(...
CONT.) ]
action ❧ around the town ( locked to shiki )
[ It's not safe and she knows it. She's been listening to the phone all day, hearing offers of help, threats, suggestions. The smart thing to do would have been to stay inside her house or even gone to the houses of those who'd offered protection. She might have done that, tried to at the very least make herself useful to the other people hiding out. If it weren't for - the grass stained with blood - if she hadn't run away - the smell of it when there was so much - if she'd called for help...
She's going back to Meryl's house now, to tell them if they hadn't already been told, if they hadn't found her for themselves. ]
sunday / monday ;
action ❧ around the town ( open to all )
[ Ohana's running around town, talking to drones, insistently grabbing them and showing them a picture, flailing, gesturing, trying to talk but coughing instead. All she gets are blank looks in return and with each one she's getting increasingly upset. ]
action ❧ searching for m'gann ( locked to m'gann and shiki )
[ Ohana's got a picture and a name. M'gann M'orzz. She doesn't even know how to pronounce it, had tried earlier on the phone, tried to say M'gann M'orzz please call me but couldn't. Just like they'd said, she couldn't say the name, just choked and tried again. Again.
That girl, that girl with the knife, Ohana knows she's out there somewhere. And that's why she's running now. Knowing she's going to die isn't the same as accepting it but the knowing has to take priority now. Staying alive meant that at least no one else would be targeting this M'gann M'orzz.
But that girl -
All she can do is run. ]
