[Action | 507 Ricardo]
[Arcueid had gone over to but the newlyweds, but had found an unexpected surprise when she had gone to their house. Instead of that idiot Shiki and his cute new little wife...she found only drones. She had known Shiki had been here for a rather long time, and she was happy to see that he had gone back home, but...he'd left

Park

[expiatrice]

[And before you even notice anything, because it's totally IC to sneak up on people--] How long are you going to sit there and stare at the ground, Arcueid? [She sounds pretty damn neutral.]

[makemebreakfast]

Oh shut up. You're probably sad too.

[She doesn't look up from those glasses, though.]

[expiatrice]

[She'll just walk up to sit down next to her, then there's the "clack" of something being set down.

If Arc turns her head a bit to peer, she'll notice that it's a soda can placed next to her. Ciel has one too in her hands, and in fact, she's going to take a sip of it right now.]

You went through that too, you know. You'd usually laze around in your house, but one morning, you started to become a hardworking housewife who actually knew how to cook edible food.

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid stares at the soda can for a long moment before she picks it up and cracks it open. The glasses, however, never leave her grip in the other hand.]

I can cook edible food sometimes. Maybe I just need someone to teach me.

[Her voice is flat, but she's still taking a sip of that soda.]

[ Taiwan came to the park holding a pencil and a sketchpad, but... ]

Hey! I want to draw something happy, but you're ruining it.

[ She goes ahead and takes a seat next to Arcueid anyway. ]

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid looks up for a moment at Taiwan, then back down to the glasses in her hand.]

Sorry.

[hwamei]

It's okay.

[ Maybe it's not such a good idea to be direct. ]

... It's pretty cold outside, isn't it? And soon it'll be winter...

[makemebreakfast]

The cold doesn't really bother me. I've spent a lot of time in it...

[Poor Arcueid doesn't really know how to make conversation right now.]

Action and you can't stop me

[ofroyalred]

Hm...?

[Why does this person look remarkably familiar?

Oh right, that superhero... magical girl... thing. Except there's no sparkles and no enthusiasm here. It's actually almost more interesting to her, though she's entirely unsure if approaching is anywhere near a good idea.

But something niggles at the back of her mind and she steps forward anyway. Probably that thing that makes Sei call her a 'nosy, troublesome girl'. She's holding a grocery bag, since the Yama she lives with has been busy making lesson plans recently and so she volunteered to go out. And out she pulls...

Something sweet.]

Truffle for your thoughts?

I WILL STOP YOU

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid glances at it, but her focus moves back to the glasses in her hand.]

They aren't worth anything. Just the thoughts of a dumb airheaded girl.

come at me bro

[ofroyalred]

So? If they seem worthless, perhaps it is better to release them to the air. Who knows, maybe someone will find merit to them, even if you can't seem to. [She's still going to keep offering it, vampire.]

You can't handle this

[makemebreakfast]

[Arcueid remains silent for a long moment, staring at the glasses in her hand.]

It doesn't matter. People disappear here all the time. Whining about it isn't going to do any good.

Park

[birthclod]

... Is something wrong?

[Remember this girl? It's the villain that you faced off with from a while ago. And she certainly recognizes this girl to be that half-dressed heroine from a while back. Seeing her this glum seems almost surreal.

It's like looking into a window of a hero's personal life. Even they must feel depression every now and then.]

[makemebreakfast]

No, it's nothing anyone else needs to worry about.

[Her gaze doesn't leave those glasses in her hand as she speaks in a flat tone. It seems she's not going to be very forthcoming.]

[birthclod]

True. Even so, talking about it helps.

[Even still, Clod climbs up on the bench and sits next to Arcueid. She looks at the pair of glasses that Arc is holding. Hm, those don't belong to her.]

... Ah. Somebody "passed on".

[makemebreakfast]

Who cares? It's my problem.

[Seems short responses are all Arcueid is in the mood for at the moment.]

[lunawolves10th]

[ The enormous, armored marine just stares down at her. ]

Arcueid. [ He rumbles, somehow his voice is soft. ]

[makemebreakfast]

What?

[Her response is rather short and curt. It's obvious she's not in a good mood.]

[lunawolves10th]

You appear to be unhappy. [ The obvious implication is that this is a very uncharacteristic mood for her. ]

[makemebreakfast]

And?

[Yea, she's being pretty uncharacteristic right now.]
