{ Tenth ☯ Tale } - aufield

[knowsabout]

✱ All around town - all day

[ Mana can be found walking all over town today, but something seems a bit off. Instead of finding a nice quiet place to read she's just kinda ignoring anything having to do with that sort of thing. ]

This is so boring, something interesting happen already.

[ Yep something is off, normally she isn't this straight foreword or rude while talking. ]

She's got to have something fun stashed away at the house or some other place we go to a lot.

(( au info: Instead of Shiki being the last member of her family to have two personalities Mana has inherited that ability. Meaning she has her normal female personality and a male personality which is what is in control right now. ))

What house?

[Congratulations, Mana. You just roused the curiosity of a very curious demigod.]

[knowsabout]

1451 Mitchell Road, it might be kinda hard to go looking through the place since I don't want to be questioned by a certain someone.

[on_bailes_strand]

Is it your house? If not, why are you poking around in it?

[knowsabout]

It's my house but my mother might question me if I start throwing stuff around looking for something.

[on_bailes_strand]

Then why don't you ask your mother to find that thing for you?

[knowsabout]

Because she'll question why I'm looking around for something I should already have or know where I put it.

[on_bailes_strand]

Why don't you just tell her you misplaced it then?

[knowsabout]

I really don't know how to explain it, it'll seem out of place for me to misplace something I like.

[on_bailes_strand]

But...everyone misplaces something at some point, right?

[knowsabout]

That's true but what if you're not the type to misplace stuff?

[on_bailes_strand]

I guess I'd tell that to my mother and hope she doesn't laugh at me?

[knowsabout]

She's not the type to laugh so I'm not really worried about that.

[on_bailes_strand]

Would she punish you then?

[the_girl_who_waited]

Nothing ever happens that's interesting. You get that once in a lifetime opportunity and then it leaves you as quick as it happened, kid. You should learn that now while you're still young.

[ Hello, it's a bitter adult. What do? ]

[knowsabout]

You sound like someone who lives a very boring life.

Interesting stuff happens you've just got to look for it.

[aozaki]

[...My my, would you look at that.]

Bored, Mana-chan?

[or more like 'affected by whatever the flavor of the week' Mayfield is pulling? Touko's already noticed, of course, but she's still curious.]

[knowsabout]

Very bored, I don't know how I can deal with all this boredom. I'm sure something is hidden around here that would be of some interest.

[aozaki]

You ran out of books to read, too? You're usually always by the library. [she's gonna need more context.]

[knowsabout]

Yeah, I ran out of books and I'm sure the ones I got in the mail are somewhere around the house.

[ That was one big fat lie but she couldn't say that she wasn't interested in reading since it would be kinda weird. ]

[aozaki]

Why don't you try writing your own stories? You're a creative girl. [Crossing her arms, she gives the small girl a thorough head-to-toe sweep. Hmm, is it really just her, now...]

[knowsabout]

Writing down ideas and then being able to flesh them out is a bit out of my league.

[aozaki]

Giving up before you even try? That's not a very good attitude to have, Mana-chan.

[She's teasing in good nature, of course, but hey, it could still be an experience!]

[knowsabout]

Not that I'm giving up but it's going to cause more trouble in the long run so I'm putting it off.

[aozaki]

It's just paper and pen. How messy are you expecting? [she chuckles in soft amusement.]

[knowsabout]

I could get annoyed and throw crumpled paper everywhere...

[aozaki]

Oooh, may it be that Mana-chan dislikes cleaning after herself? [still teasing but THIS IS KIND OF CUTE...

...

Oh wait it's because it's all Touko does around Shiki. Whelp no surprise there huh...]

[ryougi]

Oh yeah? Like what. [MOM ALERT MOM ALERT though funnily enough, even if she's been affected by the AU too, she doesn't seem all that different...]

[knowsabout]

[ Oh no it's the fuzz, act natural. ]

Maybe a book I haven't read before or something I've gotten back recently.

[ That sounded normal kinda... ]

[ryougi]

Now is that right. [flat stare as she judges you i mean] What have you gotten back recently? Just outta curiosity.

[knowsabout]

Books, clothes stuff I could have gotten in town or had Touko make for me.

[ryougi]

Hmm.

Well if you're going home, I might as well come with.

[knowsabout]

You don't have to come with...

[ryougi]

I don't have anything else to do, so why not. [She's onto you Mana...]

[knowsabout]

You can go over to Mikiya's house or something.

[ryougi]

He'll probably just end up coming over later. [It's so true and you know it.]

[normality]

[ DAD COMING IN RIGHT NOW it's like a combo chain. But yes, Mikiya's been influenced too by what's going on but he doesn't seem very different either - he looks a little worried though, since there's something.. off about Mana, isn't there? ]

... Mana?

[knowsabout]

What do you want?

[ Not even a hello how are you doing papa statement. Clearly it's the end of the world. ]

[normality]

[ It is close to it, at least. And he's definitely worried, Mana is his kid after all. ]

Is something wrong? You seem.. different.

[knowsabout]

Nothing's wrong, I'm perfectly fine.

[ You really should teach her not to lie about stuff. ]

[normality]

[ yeah, he's pretty sure something is up, but maybe it's the town-- wait, then someone else should've noticed. ]

Didn't anyone else ask you the same thing today?

[knowsabout]

Mother, Touko, and now you, so that makes three people who have asked me the same thing.
