asgardmeridiem | [Open] When darkness is upon your door

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. ]

C-caffeine and... ader-- adrenaline?

I've never heard of those before!

[You learn something new every day!]

You could try it out, but I think you're too young to drink coffee.

Is it something adults usually drink, then?

Teens and adults, alike... you're a child yet, so it might be too powerful of a drink for you.

Then maybe I won't drink it after all...

[The idea of becoming old enough to drink coffee during her stay in Asgard? Doesn't even cross her mind.]

We'll just have to stick with tea, then!

That would be for the best. [ aaand she turns quiet. ]

[There's still a bit to the shop. What to talk about...]

Umm... How has Nashi been lately?

Ah, she's alright... she can sleep alright, unlike me.

[Wah.]

...Have you been having trouble?

Yes... I can't sleep longer than a couple hours lately.

And nothing helps? Like... Like tea, or medicine, or...?

I tried both. Medicines do allow me to sleep longer, but... I don't want to become addicted to them.

Oh...

[Addiction. They always told her not to use certain medicines too much at the hospital because of a risk of addiction.]

...I wish there was something I could do.

... It will pass. I don't know when, but I can get back to my normal schedule.

[ WHEN is the keyword here. ]

But it's still affecting you now...

[Think, Hibiki, think!!]

...Umm, I think the store sells tea that's supposed to help you go to sleep. Maybe I could get some of it for you?

Tea could do that...? What kind of tea is there?

I never tried it before, but it was bed-time tea. I think?

Bed-time... never heard of it. [ Pause... ] Well, we could... check it out, I guess.

[ She closes the book a little too abruptly. ]

[Oh wow she must be excited to check out this tea.]

Okay! I'll show it to you!

[To the café we gooo?]

[ It's more like a gesture made out of stress, but she covers it up by quietly putting the book back in the shelf.

She nods at her and... yes, let's go to the cafè it's go go time. ]

[Café time gooooooooo! And out the library she goes!]

Come to think of it, I should probably restock the tea at the House, too... I wonder if I should get something different this time?

Hm... what kind of tea are you thinking of getting?

It's been a while since I got green tea, so I thought I'd get some of that.

Good idea. I haven't drunk it in a while, actually.

Maybe we can have some when we get back, then!
