[Open] When darkness is upon your door

[burntviolet]

Who: Hanako (burntviolet) and you!
What: Lilly is gone. Hanako doesn't take it very well, and tries to cope with the loss by going to the places she likes.
When: Day 137
Where: There will be two options: Library, and the park.
Rating: PG.



[ A - Gefion Park ]

[ It was nothing short of a horrible week for Hanako, just like it was probably for most people. But what hurt her the most was the notice that her best friend Lilly was missing from her room. One morning she headed there as usual to help her get ready for breakfast, and all her things, along with her own person, were nowhere to be found. The "Contact Not Found" sign on her bracelet was the ultimate confirmation that Lilly was no longer in Asgard. It hit Hanako harder than it should have, considering that now she's sure her friend was safe from the danger that lies here. Her company, although short-living, did help her emotionally during the Darkness attacks. She would have possibly broken down otherwise.

She's going to spend most of the morning in the park, sitting on the grass by the lake. Nashi's been left in the House. Hanako wanted to be alone while brooding. It doesn't look like she had a great sleep lately, either, looking at the clear bags under her eyes. ]

[ B - Great Library ]

[ Towards the afternoon, Hanako can be found at the library, sitting on her usual beanbag and mindlessly flipping through the pages of a random book she picked up. She's not reading it, though... her mind is wandering to other, unpleasant places where it shouldn't be. Not even her most favourite hobby is helping her. ]

I've been anxious for years... it's not something I can shake off. Maybe... I'll get some tea, later.

[ But she's too lazy to get up now. 8| ]

[deadcenter]

[He looks over at her, staring at her for a bit before speaking up.]

Ever try screamin' into a pillow? Heh, I think that's what girls do when they're stressed out or whatever, right?

...I actually haven't had tea in forever.

[burntviolet]

... I never did that. I wouldn't want to be too loud and make noise.

[ Excluding that the pillow would absorb most of the screaming... ]

Ah... do you enjoy tea, Senji-san?

[deadcenter]

Eh... I'm more of a coffee person myself. But if someone is offering tea I'll take it.

[burntviolet]

I see... um, do you have preferences? Black, Earl Grey, Oolong...

[deadcenter]

Not really. Give me one and I'll drink it.

Why, you offerin'?

[burntviolet]

Well... only if you feel like drinking tea right now. I can offer... [ It wasn't part of her plans... but TEA, man. ]

[deadcenter]

[hey man he's up for anything.]

Depends if you want to.

[burntviolet]

I would like to... I could make some, or we could go to the near cafe.

[deadcenter]

[Senji sits up, looking over at her with a smirk.]

Your call, I'll just tag along and keep ya company.

[burntviolet]

... Alright. Have you ever been in the Sigyn house?

[deadcenter]

Never been there, just know where it is though.

[burntviolet]

I see. I can lead you there and make you some tea myself?

[deadcenter]

[he's already standing up.]

Let's go then.

[burntviolet]

[ She stands up too, nodding in agreement, and then walking past him to take the lead. Off to Sigyn they go! ]

[deadcenter]

[following!]

Buahaha! Is your tea like Euri's? She put all these leaves in or something.

[burntviolet]

Hm... I put a modest amount of leaves only in certain types of tea.

[deadcenter]

I see I see...

I don't really get it, but it all tastes good in the end I guess.

[burntviolet]

It depends on each person's taste, really...

[ Walking walking- oh is that Sigyn's house? Yes good she's gonna speed up a little at the end and walk in. ]

[deadcenter]

[walkin' with her.]

Oh yeah.... so what do you like the most?

[burntviolet]

You mean tea flavors? ... I like black tea for the most. Earl Grey comes second.

[deadcenter]

What makes 'em so special?

[burntviolet]

They... have a better taste, I guess, but I like all flavors in general. I usually don't have preferences.

[deadcenter]

Yeah yeah I hear ya, I haven't found any I really like, I guess.

[burntviolet]

Well... it shouldn't matter as long as you enjoy the taste, right?

[ While talking, she's already at the kitchen and juggling between preparing the tea sets Hisao bought some days ago and the filling the pot with water. ]
