[Action in the Residential Neighborhoods - Very Early Morning]

[It's way, way too early in the morning for anyone to be knocking on your door - especially when that person happens to be a teenage girl that looks half-asleep. The sun's just peeking over the horizon and yet, here she is knocking on your door. Will you answer?]



[Phone - Afternoon]

The Outside World's weird.

[No one's answering. MUST KNOCK LOUDER.

Knock, knock, knock.]

[--slkdfjs]

Meiliiiiiing I'm not awake yet!

[But she is going to tumble out of bed anyway and flop partway out the window. SEE I AM ALIVE WHAT YOU WANT.

...she hasn't quite noticed it's not Meiling just yet, no.]

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[Now Marisa hears the voice and cranes her head back to look up.]

...wha--? Flandre?

[Action] 1/2

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[And Flandre looks down.]

Meiling, are you still br-

[...that's not Meiling.

It takes a moment longer for this to register in her sleepy brain.]

[Action] [2/2]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[Then, finally, something registers. Her face lights up!

...and she disappears from the windowsill back into the house (is that a squeal?).

It's a moment more while Flandre bounds down the stairs, scrabbles at the door, OPENS the door--and then practically flies out to tackle the person on the other side.]

MARISA!

[Metaphorically, rather than literally. She has no wings and hits with the force of...a little girl. Rather than a little vampire.]

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[It's still more force than a half-asleep witch can handle at the moment. Marisa goes tumbling back and lands soundly on her butt with a lap of vampire.]

Oof.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[Flandre squeaks and clings to the witch tightly as she topples over. When the moving stops, she peeks one red eye open, then the other--and smiles. And bounces a bit.]

Marisa, Marisa! I found you!

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Guess you did, ze.

[Have a hug for tiny vampires are irressitable.]

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[Eee hugs. Flandre likes hugs. And she indicates this by leaning up against Marisa and going very still and quiet for a moment.

The quiet part doesn't persist very long, though.]

Where was Marisa hiding, all this time?

[That was a long time for a game of hide and seek.]

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I was home, ze. Then I went looking for divine spirits and ended up here instead of the graveyard.

...not sure how that happened.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[Blink, blink.]

...oh.

[More blinking.]

Why would they be in a graveyard?

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

I dunno, ze. That's just where they were going.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[And now a little chitter.]

...that's silly.

[In Flandre's perfectly logical opinion.]

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it kinda is, but they might be causing problems, so me and Reimu decided to go check 'em out.

[Action] .../CHANGES EVERYTHING

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[A perplexed chitter this time.]

They were being bad?

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

...we don't know, ze.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[More confused chirping regardless.]

Why not?

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Cause despite how it looks, we don't know everything.

So, how about we get up, honey? My butt hurts from the ground.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[She looks like her world has been shattered! Slightly. A small part of it, anyway.

--oh, Marisa said something.]

Okay!

[Her shoulders twitch a few times, before she remembers there kind of aren't any wings there.

And Flandre looks momentarily dejected. And annoyed. Mostly annoyed.]

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

[That's okay. Marisa will just pick Flandre up with her.]

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[Flandre squeaks! And clings to Marisa a bit like a koala. Was there a problem before...? Of course not, that would be silly.]

Did Marisa fall asleep?

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

No... just too early. I'm all sleepy still.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

Well, it's daytime now! Daytime makes me sleepy.

[Flandre's logic is infallible.]

[Action]

[adropofjupiter.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'm human, ze. I'm supposed to be up when it's daytime. I just like sleeping in late.

[Action]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

...oh.

[Blink. Bliiiiink.]

Why?

[To which is a bit of a mystery, though.]
