[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.]

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.

*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.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice sighs and flops back down on her side of the bed.*

Fine. Though, it amazes me that you still think of me as a good person after all this time. I really don't care about right and wrong.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I don't like killing. Blame it on being human if you want. Saw enough of it when I was a child.

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

It's a suitable reason as any, I suppose.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

So... [trying to snuggle close and maybe being a bit more invading space than usual even for Marisa]

...you said you died twice before. What happened?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice can deal, this is a special occasion.*

The first time I was shot. The second time, someone who was easily as strong as Sukia punched me in the face. You can imagine how well that went.

But either way, they were both rather quick deaths and I do not remember much about them.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Marisa's still Not Okay with the whole strangulation thing, and Alice makes her feel safe.]

...why'd they happen?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Because someone had the chance to benefit from my death.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[wut]

...the hell?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

It isn't that hard of a concept to understand, is it? When Mayfield wants us to kill, they give benefits to those who succeed. How else would you get a whole town to turn on each other?

Though, I do not blame them in the slightest. I would also kill someone for my own benefit.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...did you?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Almost.

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Why didn't you? You just said you would...

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

*Alice lets out a soft sigh.*

Shiki stopped me.
