A.) phone; filtered away from housemates

[It's been a very rough week for Usagi. She's woken up the past two mornings and not long after, she's died. Once due to razor blades in the milk, and the second time due to the Grade-A poison in it.

This morning, she's 'lucky' enough to have only gotten regular poison in the milk. She sounds terrible when

[ There's a good moment where Minako is just left speechless at the call.. But that's all it takes, just that one good moment, for the panic to settle in. ]

Are you oka-- [ She doesn't finish the sentence, since she knows it's pointless to ask. She can hear it in Usagi's voice. The panic is easily audible in her voice though, even as she tries to push it back to at least seem somewhat reassuring. But it's hard with Usagi like this, not to mention her own situation with the milk.. ]

... I don't know how it exactly works, but.. if other people can drink a different house's milk for it to work, I'll help you.

[ And if not, she'll find some other way. She has to. ]

[moonspirals]

Minako-chan...

I - I can't. He said he'd hurt everyone else if I didn't. I can't let you...

[dutying]

He.. [ Her voice becomes a bit more tight. ]

Who is forcing you to do this? We have to make him stop, somehow...! [ Her voice trails off there. ]

[Mami, on the other hand, has managed to stay reasonably healthy thus far. Her senses are as alert as ever- even more than usual, actually, given the dangerous turn this town has once again taken. So it's not hard to notice Usagi's terrible state of health after a few minutes of observation. It's not hard to decide to approach, egged on by a burgeoning feeling of concern.

She casually falls into step beside the other girl and begins, gently:]

...excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice that you seem unwell. Is that right?

[moonspirals]

I...no. I'm not well at all. Do you know where a doctor's office is? I was looking for one...

[But she's wobbly on her feet, and it shows; she trips over her own feet and falls a moment later.]

[headedforhope]

[Quickly, Mami executes a neat step-turn to place herself in front of Usagi in order to catch and prop her up before the poor girl's face hits the pavement. This particular turn of events doesn't really surprise her.]

-Ah, careful now. [She takes in the pallid color of Usagi's face, the sweat- and her smile fades a touch.] As for the doctor, there's one certainly here, but he's a drone. I'm fairly sure most of the staff at the hospital are as well; they won't help you. [Mami pauses, and then she asks in a low voice:] What happened, miss?

[moonspirals]

...Usagi. Tsukino Usagi.

[She shakes her head. She doesn't want to talk to a drone.]

My...'dad'...has been making me - making me drink the milk. I don't want to, but...he's going to hurt everyone if I don't.

Is something wrong, mortal?

[moonspirals]

I really don't feel good...do you know where a doctor's office is? I was looking for one...

[lunawolves10th]

Unfortunately I don't know any medicae here, but there is someone skilled at such things at the church. Do you require an escort there?

[moonspirals]

That would be nice. Thank you, Mr...?

[notawhale]

...someone other than the milkman?

[moonspirals]

...yes.

[notawhale]

So you're being blackmailed or threatened into taking on the burden for your house.

Well, contacting others who can help you is probably the first step. Good job on getting this far; most victims will just stay quiet out of fear of further retribution.

[Though there still might be said retribution. Well, it's not Naze's problem]

[moonspirals]

He said he'd go after my friends if I didn't. I don't want them getting hurt, but...

[But dying twice in two days sucks.]

Mm. I mean...I'm still scared, but...

[chaoschildofgod]

What sorts of things...?

[moonspirals]

What do you mean...?

[Her voice wavers a bit.]

[chaoschildofgod]

What are you being made to do that you dislike?

...the milk. It has things in it - razor blades, poison, that kind of thing. I don't want to be the one that drinks it, but the 'father' in my house is making me...says he'll hurt my friends if I don't.
