yogen | [Open] Awakening+

Who: The new girl Sara Chidouin and You!
When: June 16th
What: General opening post for the girl
Warnings: Blood, mentions of death. General emotional confusion. Ori gave me a....unique awakening haha. XD

A. AWAKENING

Ugh. [ Her head hurts. That's the first thing Sara can think about as she slumps in the hallway, blinking. She's staring at her hands, but she can't seem to process what's going on. Her head just, hurts, and she rubs at it, blinking when she feels how sticky her hand is. ] What?

[ She stumbles, hand staining the wall as she tries to balance herself in this sudden vertigo. Sara stares down uncomprehendingly. Blood its...covered in blood. A lot of it, more then could be from an accident or an injury. After all, nothing hurts except this strange, dizzy feeling. And... That can't make sense. She'd just won the banquet, she'd just left class. She hadn't... She'd never meant to do anything. All she could remember was seeing a fellow student and...red string? And then she was here, and she was Sara again?

Did...I do this? The thought makes her sick but...she can't even find the energy to react. It's just too sudden.

If anyone walks by, they'd see her standing stock still in the hallway, covered in blood and staring down at her hands with a blank expression. ]

B. CLEANING UP

[ She's managed to drag herself into the bathroom at least. It doesn't lock (of course, this is a school isn't it?) so she balls up her jacket and throws it towards the bottom of the door. It might not stop anyone from coming in but it makes her feel a bit better to have at least something blocking the door. At least the taps turn even if she's getting blood all over the handles. It takes a few seconds of frantic scrubbing before she can even see the skin.

Sara looks like a mess, even she can acknowledge that. The face that peers back at her in the mirror is stark and dead eyed, dressed in an unfamiliar uniform. The collar is gone, but when she pulls the hem of her shirt down to look, she sees a thin pink scar where it used to sit tightly against the skin. So that was real, and this was real too? How frightening. She really is terrified, haha. ]

I don't remember hurting anyone. [ She addresses the girl in the mirror mostly, and really, really hopes nobody is in here with her. Whatever supernatural abilities Midori, Sou and the rest expect her to have, she's not sure she could explain this at all. Come on thats just...to cruel, isn't it? ] And...I don't have any reason to. So this is just another puzzle? It has to be.

C. GETTING ANSWERS

[ By the evening she's calmed down and cleaned up (thank goodness for the change of clothes in her locker). Now its time to stomp around till she can find...someone to corner. The first person who looks mildly knowledgeable or unique (she knows how this works thanks!) is going to look up to see a very peeved 17 year old marching towards them. ]

This is a game right? Tell me the rules. Now. [ That's no nonsense Sara Chidouin for you. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ah- Mr. Clamor and Mr. Wolfe...? They're really nice, but I can definitely see why that'd be a bit... um. Yeah.

I think there are sports clubs, but most of us can't actually attend practice for them because we're confined to this building. It's... weird. It's like there's a barrier, but it only affects some people.

... There's an outdoor survival club, I think. And if you want, you can come find me? Hajun-nii's a bit older, but I trust him! And Mr. Holmes doesn't stay in the room. ... I don't know if he sleeps or not...

My father would kill me. Not that he's going to find out but...he gets freaked out if I even talk to a male upperclassman.

[ Hajun....nii? ]

Ah! He's the one with the hip-hop group, is he not? Looks like a bit of a gangster? [ She couldn't say he'd left a favorable impression but Nene seemed to trust him. Which was strange, but this girl did not seem like a liar or a bad judge of character. Perhaps there was just something she'd missed? ] We've met. I'm not sure he likes me very much.

Yeah! a thug...? He can be a bit. Rough but... he's really good to me. Even if he does pick on me sometimes... I don't think it's that he dislikes you, though.

( a big brother bully........ )

But, um. I'd rather you be comfortable so, we can probably find someplace safe for you to sleep at night.

Good to you... Are you two dating? [ Its the connection Sara instantly makes, and she's a bit to blunt to remember to not say it immediately. Sure she was calling him big bro...but that was a thing some people did right? M-maybe? All her conceptions of romance come from the cheesy movies Ryoko and someone else used to take her too. It would make sense why she's so apologetic despite his weird behavior. The worst guys always get really sweet girlfriends. ]

He's too old....... [ Maybe she should...talk to him again. Yes. Talk. ]

( nene freezes almost instantly, before almost falling back in her chair and tipping it over in her flustered scramble- )

No! Nonono, Hajun-nii is my big brother!

Nene are you alright?? [ Sara snaps out of idly musing how difficult it would be to KILLMURDERKILL Hajun. Oh no, Nene fell! Why could she have done something like that? ]

Er...I-Is that slang or? I'm sorry, I'm not really up on trends...

N-no, it's not- we just... think of each other as family- it's really not like that...

( oh god, if the gremlins of the school found out about this conversation... would she hear the end of it? )

[ Pray nobody is outside the door listening in... ]

Ah...oh. [That was...quite the assumption then. Oh no. ] I pretty much straight up insulted you, huh? And him...

[ She does hesitantly offer a hand, blushing. ]

Look sorry, forget that. I made a weird assumption. I'm sure your brothers a nice guy.

( she really doesn't get how sara even came to that conclusion, help her someone but also no one can know about this conversation- )

I-I mean- you were. Concerned, right? ( but yes, sara, you did, and she's going to accept sara's help but oh l o r d- )

Right! Right. He's kind of a bully sometimes... but. I don't think he's as bad as he thinks he is. ... He's a little rude, though, yeah.

... So, um. You're interested in kendo? I was in the gardening club at home!

( SMOOTH )

Very concerned. [ She won't tell a soul. ] My apologies.

[She simply will just...not respond to any further comments on Hajun's character. She's gonna avoid that guy for a week, and then not think about this. It's fine. He's kind of a shady guy, but he's probably fine. ]

O-oh! Yes, I did it all throughout middle school. It's pretty fun! I'm actually pretty good with a sword...which weirdly came in useful a few times. Have you ever done any martial arts?

( help these girls, this is hilarious and i'm crying still. )

No, but... well, with these modern times, it might be worth looking into more. ( haha yeah just being a modern girl in japan and definitely having nothing to do with murder school- ) I always thought archery looked really neat... but my school doesn't have anything like that. I'm really good at growing flowers and vegetables though!! I'm the best at working the land with the tools!

Modern times? [ She really needs to keep up with trends better. Are martial arts 'in' right now? Sara just grew up in a really traditional family. ]

Well to work with tools, you must have plenty of upper body strength. I'm sure you'd be able to pick up the basics in no time. [ She rubs her chin. ] Maybe you could start with just some basic kata's...I'm sure the library has a few books? You're pretty small, so I think learning how to take someone taller then you might be useful. There's a lot of tricks for pushing someone off balance.

Ahh... it was kind of a joke, since. This place is... supposedly in 1999, and also. The general danger...

( a beat. )

Oh, that is a good point... a lot of the other girls left the tilling to me because I didn't mind it, so I've got lots of practice with it. But... that is a good point. ( she's very small thank you for noticing. ) I don't want to hurt anyone... but. That doesn't mean I should be an easy target either.

1999? Wow... [ Her eyes unfocus a little as she squints into thin air. ] If only we had access to the stock market right now...we could make some really aggressive investments!

[ Insider trading Nene! The subject of every high school girls dream! ]

Tilling really works your shoulders and core, are you pretty strong? You could try and throw me if you want. You want to grab someone's wrist and twist it as you pull them down.

( it's hard not to laugh- sara's kind of adorable, huh? nene would never have thought of that sort of thing! ) Ahh, think of all the hamster stuff I could get... Black Canyon could have an even better cage!

Oh- ah, kinda? I can lift one of my friends pretty easily, I've noticed. But he's also on the lighter side... ( does it count when he's a ghost- ) I-I'd rather know what to do first, so it's safe for you too.
