02 ~*~ Thriller Night

[jumpsinline]

[ Makeout Point : Evening : Open ]
[ Yoshika has decided that wandering the town lost aimlessly was good and all, but she should really get a good vantage point to see just exactly how BIG this place was. After all, it felt like she could just keep walking on and on and on and never run out of buildings!

So, here she is, at the popular park-and-snog spot, taking a look out at the lights of the streets and buildings in the distance. It was kind of impressive. She's never seen anything like it; or rather, she doesn't remember if she has.

But it turns out she isn't alone here. Maybe there is one car — maybe there are a dozen. But the point is that these cars are parked, and not driving around, but they are also playing music and making other strange sounds?? Clearly this means she should investigate! So Yoshika shuffles through the dirt and gravel towards a vehicle.

Your vehicle.

Don't mind the pale, ambling figure as it stalks up to the car and scratches at the windshield or the hood. ] What are you doing??

((OOC: So here is Yoshika, Ruining the Glorious Moment. Open to anyone parked up there, whether it's a single person, couple on a date, or otherwise! Bendy-time means every thread is the first thread (unless she gets Master Spark'd, which gets to be LAST), so don't be shy! She doesn't bite. Yet.))

[ Phone : The Next Day : No Filter ]
I still don't know how I should use ....

Oh.

It's upside-down. [ Rustle rustle. She comes in clearer, now. ] So, okay! There.

How do I use the makeup they have here? It's nothing like what I'm used to, but apparently it's my job?? ...I don't want to get droned. Again. [ Poor Kyouko. You have such an idiot not!mom. ]

-Never before has Patchouli let out a more girly yelp of terror.-

[adropofjupiter]

[This of course means that the other occupant of the car, held Patchouli tight and got her hand out from up the wizard's robe, then glared at the intruder.]

Oi! The hell are you doing?!

[jumpsinline]

[ That is met with an equally surprised yell from the woman, though she didn't budge. ]

—that's what I asked!

[wizardoftheweek]

It's some pervert! -Seemed like a logical conclusion to jump to.-

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa is in agreement with Patchoulu and crawls across her girlfriend to get closer to the window.]

Get out of here before I make you regret it! Find somewhere else to be a peeping tom!

[jumpsinline]

[ Long, slow blink. ] A peeping what?

[wizardoftheweek]

-Patchouli was already readying a spell, ready to blast the intruder at a moment's notice.-

[adropofjupiter]

[Marisa put her hand on Patchouli's to stop the spell.]

I'll handle this.

[Then she opens the car door and gets out to glare at the intruder. Wait... the charm is missing, but there's something familiar about...]

Do I know you? And if I do, you better hightail it out of here right now for interrupting my date.

[jumpsinline]

[ Yoshika slides off of the car and just sort of stares at the girl in bewilderment. She's far cleaner than normal, wearing a 50's dress like she belongs in it except she seems to have lost the heels on her shoes and hasn't noticed yet?

Oh and her hair isn't a filthy mess, either, so it hangs a bit differently. ] I don't think so. Who're you?

PHone

[bread_goes_bip]

I have the same job, I can help you a bit if you'd like.

[jumpsinline]

Oh, you do? Okay! [ And she just sort of... trails off.

There's more to that, isn't there? ]

[bread_goes_bip]

There's not a lot of variety, so it doesn't take long to learn a demonstration that works with the drone women.

[jumpsinline]

...so wait, this is for the drones? What about me?

[bread_goes_bip]

Well, if you want to use it on yourself, I can show you some tricks. That's all up to you though.

[jumpsinline]

Well I've been trying to take care of my skin like usual here but it's really hard since I can't find the right supplies. Everything's in bottles with weird names on them.

[bread_goes_bip]

What supplies are you used to? I... never really had to worry about that sort of thing, but I hear things.

[jumpsinline]

[ Yoshika briefly explains. When she means "all natural", she isn't kidding! It helps that she's from a land that is basically Japan stuck in history, with few modern amenities.

But there are large gaps in her memory, as always. ] —I think that's it.

[ Action : Closed ]

[jumpsinline]

[ After waking up and finding herself alone in the dark on the cliff where she was knocked out, Yoshika arose and made her way back home.

At least. She thought home was this way. She's shambling a little more like her Western namesake as she navigates the quiet streets between Mayfield's many copycat residences, bleary eyes trying to make out the words on the various mailboxes.

She shudders, feeling the cool breeze blowing against the back of her head, where it felt like something wet had been stuck in her hair. Was she bleeding? Mostly likely, and worse, but though she can feel it she can't associate anything but vague discomfort with it.

Oh hey, there's a person. Maybe they'll know! ]

Hi! [ Despite her injuries, and the way she's standing sort of crooked, Yoshika sounds damn near pleasant. ]

[ Action : Closed ]

[true_administrator]

[Well that-

... That most certainly is Seiga's Jiang Shi isn't it?

She hasn't really said much to the girl since Kyouko berated her and wouldn't let her speak in the first place but now...]

... Yoshika.

[Yes, zombie, she knows you and -]

... What happened to you?

[jumpsinline]

[ Or the closest living approximation. Miko probably seen her in worse shape, but she's still nothing to look at.

That name stops her in her tracks. ] Who're you? [ Then she looks down at herself. ] Happened...?

Oh! I was pushed.

[true_administrator]

[Indeed, but that was usually only after Seiga had used her as a meat shield. If Seiga's not directly with Yoshika then there's no reason she should be injured as though Seiga is...]

Miko. Toyosatomimi no Miko. You were assigned to guard the mausoleum so I could resurrect.

[Silly Zombie. Though the answer gives her pause for a moment. Normally when people were pushed they didn't look like they were about to pass out standing up - and though she can associate some of the vacantness in Yoshika's gaze to the fact she's an idiot, that doesn't account for all of it.]

... Pushed where?

[jumpsinline]

[ The recognition lights up in her eyes... though it takes a few seconds to get there. ] YOU were the one behind that door??

[ And then she smiles rather dumbly. ] That's right — that's right!!! [ Though her enthusiasm dims just as quickly. ] ...you were dead, too?

[ Oh. Oh! There was another question there. Yoshika vaguely gestures with her arm behind her. ] The ground.

[true_administrator]

[... Miko is actually somewhat impressed by the fact that Yoshika can remember it at all, but she keeps that comment to herself.]

Yes, Yoshika, I was the one your master and the others wanted to wake up, but no, I wasn't dead. I was sleeping.

[Times she wished she had her hearing: Now. She hated having to ask questions to know the answers, and preferred things to be stated instead.

In this case, however, she has to. Because she knows people come in perfectly human here and if Yoshika is badly injured then that could be bad for a human body.]

... Yes, I can figure that, Yoshika, how were you pushed and which ground were you pushed to?

[jumpsinline]

Oh. Welcome to being awake! [ It seemed like the thing to say at the time. ] It's a good thing you weren't dead, because being alive is pretty weird.

[ She blinks owlishly at the woman. ] Um. There's more than one ground?

[true_administrator]

Yes, thank you, Yoshika. It is nice to be awake. [Even if she has been for... quite some time now.] But I have always been alive, as I've never actually been dead.

[No, she doesn't expect the rotted zombie mind in a human body to understand that.]

There's dirt, there's the road, there's stone. Where were you?
