(OPEN...ish.) Hana in japanese means Flower, so it just makes sense!

[burntviolet]

Who: Hanako (burntviolet) and ALL THE SIGYN MEMBERS, ALL OF THEM. Especially the ones she has good CR with!
What: Hanako has decided to actually practice her Growth powers, and for that, she needs something to train on. So she's going to use the House's yard area, at a time where a few people walk around- about the night time. Before that, maybe it's best to have a little exploration of the area! Whether you notice her from your rooms or just pass by, if you see her and try to talk to her, she'll be scared at first. But don't worry, that might dissipate soon if you show good intentions (and you don't ask about the scars).
When: Day 59, late evening.
Where: Sigyn's House, somewhere in the yard.
Rating: G, nothing bad should happen here. IT'S ALL ABOUT BONDING~

[After a long time of thinking and brooding, Hanako finally came to a decision. Staying holed in and doing nothing but think about the incidents of a few days ago would do nothing good to her, except feed on her depression. Not even the books that used so much to distract her were working now. Try as she might, she'd never forget of the past events... and she's tired of having her eyes prickle with tears everytime something reminds her of the trauma. Hisao only could do much to relieve her spirits, but he can't magically make her problems go away. That only depends on her, and frankly, she doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for her.

The idea is that she needs to engage in a new activity. Joining the Neighbors club would have been a good step, but it would take a while for her to get used to the idea of meeting that bunch of unsettling people in person. So, in the meantime, she must concentrate on something else entirely. Those semens Laura had sent her days earlier might come in handy.

When she's sure that all the housemates are away, she dons her hoodie outfit, grabs a small bag with the semens and a couple gardening books in it, and quietly sneaks out of her room and out of the hall. Good, the path's clear!

The rain of the past days has left a pleasant aroma and a fresh air overall. It helps her mood a bit, somewhat. For now she'll just walk around, through the spots where the moonlight and the lights from her house still illuminate the patches of grass and trees, while holding the bag protectively in her arms.

There's no way anyone would suddenly bump into her, right? ... Right?]

[Hibiki walks toward the house, trying her best to stifle a series of yawns. Going out at this hour was unusual for her, but she couldn't just go to sleep when images of exploding heads haunted her.

Thankfully it wasn't especially spooky on the grounds of Sigyn's house, so while she was wary, she didn't feel particularly threatened. It was a comforting darkness. The kind that she felt when she lived with her Master in the forest...

She shakes her head, blinking back tears from her most recent yawn. Her thoughts just kept being pulled every which way these days! She really ought to sleep. She's tired, unaccustomed to staying up very late, and surely it must be affecting her thoughts-

Although... who is that girl passing by?]

Ah... g-good evening!

[burntviolet]

[... waaah-

Hanako startles on the spot, turning around on instict. It's a miracle that she didn't scream yet tonight. Holding the bag tighter, she stares in terror at the person, though you can only see her eye within the shadows.

... Wait, that's a little girl. Oh- but she's-]

Hibi...ki...?

[saving_sound]

[She blinks a few times, tilting her head. She doesn't recognize this person, but her voice sounds a little familiar...

Wait, could it be-]

Ikezawa-san?

[burntviolet]

[Bingo. And Hanako startles a bit more when she's recognized.]

... Y-yes, it's m-me...

[saving_sound]

I thought your voice sounded familiar!

[She steps a bit closer.]

Are you going somewhere...? It's kind of late.

[burntviolet]

[Amg totally covering her face with the hood.]

... I j-just wanted to explore...

[saving_sound]

[She gives a small giggle.]

It is big around here, isn't it? It took me forever to learn where everything is, and I still get things mixed up sometimes.

[burntviolet]

It's large, i-indeed... fortunately, I d-didn't get lost...

[saving_sound]

That's good! Getting lost here isn't very fun...

[Judging by her tone of voice, she's speaking from more experience than she would like.]

[burntviolet]

Um... you- you did get lost? [Oh yea Hanako picked up on that.]

[saving_sound]

[...Caught!]

Um... S-sort of...

...Yes.

[burntviolet]

Ah... y-you're not lost this time, right?

[saving_sound]

Oh, no! If it's around Sigyn I do just fine.

[burntviolet]

That's... good. [Still hiding her face- A LITTLE GIRL SHOULDN'T SEE THOSE UGLY SCARS OK]

[saving_sound]

Yes...

[It... gets a little noticeable when you keep doing it, Hanako...]

U-umm... Is something wrong, Ikezawa-san?

[burntviolet]

... Oh no, i-it's nothing! I'm fine! [She'll wave her other hand frantically- she's so bad at hiding her feelings sobbb]

[saving_sound]

Re--

[Wait, no, the last time she asked about things like this things got so awkward. So she'll just. Um. Go with it??]

O-oh... Umm, okay! That's good, then. That you're fine, I mean.

[...No wait this is still awkward.]

[burntviolet]

... Yeah, I... I guess. [She fidgets evidently! kfhdkjhf lmao]

[saving_sound]

So... You were exploring, right? Would you like me to come with you? I could show you around a little.

[burntviolet]

...

[She thinks, looking down.]

... A-alright...

[saving_sound]

Okay! Most places are closed by now, but the city is still very pretty at night.

[burntviolet]

Are... are you sure i-it'll be safe at night?

[saving_sound]

I never had any problems in Sigyn before... As long as we stay in this district, I think it will be okay.

[burntviolet]

... Okay then. I w-would like to take a look around...

[saving_sound]

Alright! Was there anywhere specific you wanted to go, or should we just wander around?
