[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. ]

It would be quite a feat to know everyone here, yes? That is, I don't think anyone could expect it of you.

[burntviolet]

That would be impossible for everyone, I think... but so far, I didn't meet many people who troubled me.

[rakia]

I hope it will continue to be the case for you, Hanako-san.

[burntviolet]

Ah, thank you... I'd wish the same for you.

[ Nodding. ] I wouldn't want to distract you further from your reading, so...

[rakia]

Thank you very much. [ He inclines his head a little. ]

Ami, of course! I am sorry for interrupting your reading as well. Please, allow me to leave you to it and thank you for the conversation.

[burntviolet]

It's no trouble, really. [ Not like she was... reading at all. ]

I suppose we can... talk again sometime? [ Nice and polite people deserve more chances. ]

[rakia]

[ In that case, well. He is glad to have "interrupted" her. ]

I would like that very much, if it would be all right with you.

[burntviolet]

Surely it's alright with me.

I come to the Library pretty often, so...

[rakia]

I as well spend a good deal of time here. Perhaps we will chance upon one another again.

[burntviolet]

[ A little nod. ]

Hopefully so. Well... have a good day, Nikolay-san. [ She stands up, tucking the book under her arm. ]

[rakia]

And you as well, Hanako-san. Thank you once again. [ He waves briefly, then slowly walks toward the bookshelf again, ready to resume his search for whatever it is he had been seeking before he joined her. ]
