♥ good life choices

[priceofmagic]

[ action ♥ 335 Brady Lane ]
[ When Satou woke up from dying she was cold and miserable. Just like the last time, she's stuck in a state of being a corpse and feeling so miserable and scared that she flops back in her bed, curls up, and takes some of the morning to feel sorry for herself. Then gets up, covering her head with her bed;s blankets, and goes downstairs. Where she finds two packages. ]
Au... I think I'd rather have a pulse than mail right now...

[ phone ♥ ]

U-um... I'm back! I'm back... Hello. Sorry about being in the carnival, um... I got some mail. Did anyone else get packages?

[ She fiddles with her two new cards. One has her favorite magical girl dress on it and the other has a classic demon. ] I hope everyone got back from the carnival okay. Haruhi-san, do you have the newspaper I gave you? Um, maybe we should get together and look that over... Did anyone else find newspapers or anything useful in the carnival? Could you let me know? I'm Satou, um and. I'm curious.

[ Satou pauses, looking at the card with the demon on it and frowning. Unimpressed with her regain and not sure what it means. ] And um... Alphonse...san, Mr, um... If you're listening, um... I'm sorry, sir... I about not being nice.

[ action ♥ makeout point ]
[ Despite what would be considered "good judgment", Satou heads to makeout point a few hours after her initial phone call to try training her magic. She's frustrated after letting herself get killed again, even when she had her magic, and needs to vent some steam. ]

Hm... no one is here, I hope? I wonder what that second card means...

Oh, yeah, I got some stuff back, actually! Didn't exactly come in the mail, though.

[priceofmagic]

Huh? What do you mean?

[noluckduck]

I got my workshop back!

[priceofmagic]

Workshop-san?

[noluckduck]

[What are honorifics. What.] Uh, no. Just a workshop.

I found a flyer in one of those empty houses. It looks like an advertisement for Mayfield.

[priceofmagic]

An... advertisement?

Um, do you think I could come look at it?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Sure. I'm at 1666 Nelson Street, Matou household. My name is Kariya.

[priceofmagic]

Mr Matou-san? Mm, okay. I-I might be a while, I'm kind of... [ A walking corpse. ] ... pathetic right now.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

I can come to you instead if you'd prefer. You don't sound well right now.

[ phone ]

[extraordinarily]

Don't worry, I have it still!

[Haruhi's voice is quite energetic.]

And I got two packages, actually.

[priceofmagic]

Huh? You too?

U-um... wh-what kind of things did you get, Haruhi-san?

[extraordinarily]

I got a bamboo shoot with tanzaku already on it -- oh, and my cheerleader uniform that I bought online!

[priceofmagic]

Ah um! You have things like that? Amazing...! I bet you look cute in that uniform too!

[extraordinarily]

Of course I do!

[She'd give her a thumbs up, but unfortunately they're speaking through the phone.]

Anyway, do you need the newspaper clipping?

Phone

[snacklist]

[He doesn't understand, but his confusion is eclipsed by his relief that she's back and she's safe.]

S-Satou! Are you okay?

[priceofmagic]

A-au! Al! Um! H-hello!

[ She bows and nods. To the phone. ]

I-I'm okay! I'm here! I'm sorry! Are you? Okay and here and um, oh, you don't need to be sorry though.

[snacklist]

[There's the dull echo of a boy scratching the top of his metal head in confusion.]

Why are you sorry?

[Did something happen? He feels like he's missed something important.]

[priceofmagic]

I-I... Aren't you angry at me? For everything..? Didn't I make you worry?

[ Maybe she's thinking too much of herself again? Why would he worry? He probably forgot she was gone. ]

[snacklist]

[Oh.

His heart pangs a bit in his chest, why does she always do this? He wishes he knew what it would take to show her that she mattered and that was a GOOD thing.]

Of course I was worried, but I'm not angry. I was scared because... because I care about you, and now you're okay then I'm just relieved and happy. I'd never be angry that you were okay.

...pardon?

[Byakuren managed to get her clothes back in the mail, so she's in the hallway fiddling with the last of the straps on her dress. She seems physically fine, aside from the heavy bandaging around her left eye.

Looks like someone didn't know about her notdaughter's final fate.]

PLACE HELD FOR MAMA

[priceofmagic]

Oh-! Nn nn.

[ She shakes her head and pulls her blankets from over her shoulders to right over her head, hiding her pale face as best she can. ]

Nothing. It's good to be home, Byakuren-san. I, um, going to make some tea. Would you like some?

[forgottenmagia]

[She only blinks in slight surprise. Or, well, "winks".]

I'm almost positive you're not telling me the full truth. Tea is fine, but I'd like to hear what you have to say.

[priceofmagic]

E-eh? I'm um...

[ ... Yeah, she's lying. ]

It's nothing really... but yes! Right! Tea-san! I shall make it! [ She scurries to the kitchen, with the blanket still over her head. ]

[forgottenmagia]

Satou! [Byakuren scurried off after her...smacking into the wall in the process, because what is not being used to lack of proper depth perception.]

Ow...now, now, come back and please tell me what is going on!
