[Marisa's not exactly sounding like herself today. In fact, she sounds a little freaked out though her voice is quiet.]

Um... What, uh... What happens when... ah. What happens when drones, um.... die?


[1125 Taylor (action)]

[Anyone passing by 1125 Taylor might notice the front door is half open and there sun reflects off of something thick and red dripping slowly down it.

[OOC WARNING: Marisa is now suffering the Postman's Curse for breaking into the post office. Any characters coming to 1125 Taylor may be subjected to bodily injury should they have physical contact with Marisa. PM me for more details if needed.]

What? Did you get some on your clothes? -SHE'S LIVED WITH A VAMPIRE FOR AGES. THIS KIND OF THING... KINDA DOESN'T PHASE HER.-

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

It sprayed all over me. [but that's not the point]

...I don't know what happened, Patchy. Her arm just, like, suddenly ripped off.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Peculiar. What happened, exactly?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I was leaving the house and she tried to stop to do something - summer reading or laundry, can't rememeber. I said no, she grabbed my shoulder, so I shoved her hand off me.

And then she was screaming and there was blood everywhere and her arm was laying on the floor...

[she's getting that 'not okay' tone back in her voice]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I see...

I recommend not touching anyone until we get to the bottom of this.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

You think... you think I did it? But I didn't do anything! I didn't even use magic. Not that I have any right now that could do that...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

You may not have done so on purpose, but this town has a habit of doing things just to horrify you.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Oh. If you say so...

I was pretty horrifying, ze. I don't, uh, handle dead bodies well. Wild youkai don't do that...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

It will be alright. Just calm down and keep your hands to yourself.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'll try...

Anything like this happen here before?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Similar things...

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Great. [You can just hear the B| in her voice.]

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

You'll be alright. Just remain calm.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I'm trying.

Why isn't there a phone in my room? I don't want to be near... her - it - anymore. But I don't wanna hang up...

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Houses, at the time, were not often built to have multiple phoneline outlets.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Oh. Damn. Maybe if I...

[Hear the static on the line as Marisa grabs the whole phone and moves it as far as the cord lets her.]

...you still there?

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Yes. What did you do?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Still a bit of static, but it's not bad.]

The cord stretches into the kitchen. Just enough that I can sit around the corner and not see... um... it.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Is anyone on their way over?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah - Shiki is.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Good. Someone like that is best for this situation.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...okay. [A pause and then she says offhandedly...] And he thinks you don't like him.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

Eh? What are you talking about?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Shiki told me once that you didn't like him.

[wizardoftheweek.livejournal.com]

... What an idiot.
