[1: Wednesday 8/17 - Action (340 Brady Lane)]

[After escaping Spades, Marisa ran to the first place she could think of where she would be safe, sneaked inside and hid. In a certain magician's room. Under her bed. At least until she calmed down. Sadly, she wasn't hidden quite as well as she thought she was...]




[2: Thursday 8/18 - Phone/Action (1125 Taylor Road)]

[There's a lot of fumbling with the receiver before Marisa finally gets a handle on it.] You know... Some of this milk isn't so bad... This one bottle's kinda like my shrooms. I wonder... I wonder if I'll get those back. Gods I miss them...

Like I miss watching the stars dance in the sky and the... the... trees. Y'know how profound trees are? Such deep rooted knowledge of life and death and the way of balance and the universe. I wonder what the trees would say here with as fucked up as this place is.

[She seems to be talking to someone else now, having dropped the receiver onto the table without hanging up.]

Hey, Patchy... let's go talk to the trees...




[3: Saturday 8/20 - Action (507 Ricardo Street)]

[Fashionable scarf tied around her neck to hide the still-healing bruises from when she'd been strangled earlier in the weel, Marisa decides to go visit Alice and Shiki. Misery loves company and they were all miserable.]

*Well, there's obviously something on her mind. She looks like a wreck, pajamas still on and everything. Alice approaches him cautiously like she really doesn't know what to say in the first place.*

I am... just going to say what I am thinking.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

...if this is about the milk...

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Do you think I came in here to talk about the weather?

*Alice sighs, rubbing her face with one hand.*

Wait, no, that is not what I meant...

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Aren't we already decided on that stuff?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Can you, for once in your life, listen to me without interrupting or yelling stubbornly at me...?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

...fine, whatever.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

You've done this because you want to protect me. Fine, I understand. But you're wrong. You think you've been protecting me for this past week, but you have not been. Watching you die and get hurt is the same as being killed myself. ... I know, I know you can't see it. That's your problem. And... it's okay. You were the one that helped me realize that it's okay to not be perfect all the time.

As much as I want to say 'let me suffer with you' I don't think I can because I'm scared. That's my problem. You've always helped me so I want you to know how important your life is. If you can't think of your own self worth, then please remember how much you mean to me. This... this isn't a one way street. I love you.

Come here...

*Alice, slightly teary eyed, walks over and stands in front of Shiki.*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[He pulls her down to his lap and wraps his arms around her.]

Sheesh....why did you say so earlier?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*She holds him tight, something that's actually pretty rare for her, and rubs her face into his shoulder.*

Because I just got emotional and yelled at you instead. I can keep my calm around almost everyone but you're just a different story.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Don't expect me to have an answer to why though.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Why what?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Why all you could do is yell.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Even I know that. It is because I love you.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I love you too.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

... I hope the milk doesn't come again.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

How about we just try not to think about it.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

That would be for the best.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Want to stay out here tonight?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

... I think Marisa still needs me.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[He sighs lightly. Slightly disappointed.]

Before you go back then....I want a kiss.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Sitting up, Alice leans in and gives him a small kiss.*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[His face when.]

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Shiki you're such a jerk, Alice can never keep up with what you're in the mood for.*

I didn't think... well...
