[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.]

Just go back before she does something like yell.

*Alice sneaks in another kiss before going back to her bedroom.*

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed?]

Get your ass back out there and give him a real kiss before I go do it for you.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

What is wrong with the kiss I gave him!?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Nothing except it wasn't what he wanted. Kiss him like you'll never get a chance to kiss him again.

[She glares and points back down the hall]

I'm serious. I'll go do it myself.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Frustrated, Alice walks right back up to Shiki, gets right back up in his lap, and gives him a real kiss. One that feels like it could be the last one the two share together.*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[Caught by surprise, okay! But that doesn't stop him from taking advantage of the moment and returning her kiss.]

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*She's trying, at least! At least he's returning the kiss, that makes Alice happy.*

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[I THINK EVERYONE IS HAPPY. After he pulls back, he whispers in Alice's ear.]

Smack Marisa on the back of the head.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*And Alice whispered back*

How did you know it was her?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I'm not a moron.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice pouts a bit, but she can't do it for long, so with a smile she goes over to give Marisa a bop on the back of the head.*

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...what was that for?

[rubbing the back of her head as if it actuallyn hurt.]

You know I was right.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

It was from Shiki. I am certain you did something in your life to deserve it.

*Now she's grabbing your arm and tugging you into bed. Take advantage of this good mood, it only comes around once in awhile.*

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[So taking advantage! And hey, Alice might notice the scarf now.]

Not arguing it. And I'm really glad you went and kissed him, cause... it's not like I know how to kiss like that, so it'd probaby have been like the worse kiss he'd ever have had assuming he didn't just shove me away.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice flops down in bed again. She notices, and she's going to try to remove that scarf.*

Hm? What is this for?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[So catching those hands and wishing she wasn't in so vulnerable position on her back. Alice is bigger than her...]

N-Nothing to concern yourself with, ze.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Please don't hide from me.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[After a moment of staring at Alice, Marisa looks away, sighs and stops resisting Alice's removal of the scarf. Ever see a pair of bruises about someone's neck that look like large hands? There they are.

At least they looks a few days old.]

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice's cold facade drops right back over her face.*

And who did this?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa does her best to keep her bottom lip from trembling, but she does grab a hold of Alice to keep her from moving once she hears the name.]

Spades.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice's eyes show not even a hint of emotion. No pity, no remorse, not even anger. But really, Alice is scariest when she's like this. Someone without pity, remorse, or anger makes for a rather efficient and through killer.*

... I see. Well, we should sleep for tonight.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Please don't do that...

[Clinging witch is clinging.]

I told Shiki not to kill him and I'm gonna tell you the same thing. It won't make me feel any better anyways; he was droned at the time.

...'sides, if anyone's going to kill him the right goes to Patchy. [Given the two of them are 'official' again.]

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Who said anything about making you feel better?

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Me.

I didn't die, ze. No need to kill in response.
