[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. ]

Hah?

[he scratches the back of his head.] Ahhh.... nah, we all just knew each other, not exactly close enough to miss 'em.

[he has trouble trusting people fully so... the only person he really liked was Ganta.]

[burntviolet]

I see... if that was an awkward question, I'm sorry.

[ Just gonna go and pour the tea in these cups. Careful, it's hot. ]

[deadcenter]

It wasn't awkward at all, stop worryin' about it.

[he watches her pour.]

[burntviolet]

...

[ Asking Hanako to stop worrying would be like asking pigs to fly. 8(

But anyway she shuts up and starts sipping on her tea, looking down. ]

[deadcenter]

[okay his turn to try the tea!! He picks up the cup and sips it.

It's pretty good.]

Mm- what kind was this again?

[burntviolet]

It's... black tea. I have other types here if you'd like- my friend Hibiki-san recently restocked with green tea.

[deadcenter]

[he shakes his head.]

No no, this is good.

[burntviolet]

Oh, alright. [ And then silence. Hanako enjoys tea parties, although this one is pretty weird considering who she's drinking tea with- however, she's not a big chatter like anyone already knows. ]

[deadcenter]

[Senji is content with just drinking tea and not really drinking, actually...]

Hm- this is such a change. Me, just drinkin' tea.

[burntviolet]

You don't do this usually...? [ Looking at him. ]

[deadcenter]

[he shake his head.]

I'm a fighter, this isn't my style, you know? I don't think I've really relaxed in forever.

[burntviolet]

Really? Do fighters... never enjoy tea?

[deadcenter]

Well, I wouldn't say that. I'm sure a lot of them did, I wasn't one of them though.

[burntviolet]

Hm... are you thinking of drinking more of it, in the future? [ She sure wouldn't mind sharing such a moment again. THERE NEED TO BE MORE TEA PARTIES. ]

[deadcenter]

[ALL THE TEA PARTIES.

secret tea parties.]

Sure thing, if you'll have me.

[burntviolet]

[ and then Senji gets the reputation of TEA PARTY HARDCORE MAN. ]

If you don't mind, then we can... meet again sometime.

[deadcenter]

[BETTER BELIEVE IT!!]

Hey, sounds good to me.

[burntviolet]

[ She finishes her own cup, and nods at him. ]

Would you like more tea?

[deadcenter]

Sure, pour me another. [and thus began the zuppashi tea parties.]

[burntviolet]

[ more zuppashi for the zuppashi god!! And also more tea for you. ]
