♥ 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...

A corpse?

[priceofmagic]

I, um... I died... in that place, before. I don't seem to be completely revived yet... if that makes any sense.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

That kind of thing can happen?

[priceofmagic]

Mm. It was like this before too... B-but um. If you really want to visit, I-I'll do my best to be good company, I promise! I'll try...

[waiting_for_the_worms]

All right. You stay right there. I'll come to you. Is there anything you need?

[priceofmagic]

I um... nn-nn, I'm okay. [ Can you pick up a pulse for her at the store? She wishes she had one right now.. ] I'm sorry.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

I'll be right over. What house are you at?

[priceofmagic]

Brady Lane, um... 335... I'm sorry for the trouble.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

It's really no trouble. All right, I'm leaving now.

[And shortly, there's a knock at her door.]

[priceofmagic]

[ And she answers it, somewhat hesitantly. She's a bit nervous about being seen like this. ]

Um, um... h-hello? Sorry to trouble you like this...

[waiting_for_the_worms]

It's okay.

[Wow, she looks almost like he did under the influence of the Crest Worms. At least as pale, anyway. But he doesn't react at all, just taking it in.]

I brought the flyer with me. Let's sit down and I'll show it to you.

[priceofmagic]

Th-thank you very much. I don't know how much I remember from it, but I'd seen a newspaper article on the other side. I-I gave it to Haruhi-san, b-but I can tell you what I remember.

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Well, here's what I have.

[And he hands over this piece of paper.]

[priceofmagic]

[ She takes it in her cold fingers and carefully looks it over, before handing it back. She doesn't want to taint it with her deadness. ]

Have you been in Mayfield for very long?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

No, not long at all. Less than a month.

[priceofmagic]

Hm. I see...

I'd like to see what sort of information everyone else retrieved, but thank you for showing this to me. It seems to fit what we already know about Mayfield.

[ Says the pale girl trembling under a blanket, speaking in the firmest voice she can muster up. ]

[waiting_for_the_worms]

Don't mention it. Don't forget to take care of yourself in the meantime, all right?

[priceofmagic]

Don't worry about me! I'm pretty tough when I have to be.

[ She stands up and goes to retrieve a paper and pen. ]

If I could, I'd like to quickly write down the details on this flyer. Haruhi Suzumiya-san has the newspaper that I found in one of the houses. I can ask her to call you, if you'd like?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

No problem, take all the notes you like. And that would be fine. I'd at least like to take a look at it.

[priceofmagic]

Thank you quite a bit! I'll let you know if I find anyone else who has found artifacts there?

[waiting_for_the_worms]

That would be really helpful.

[priceofmagic]

O-okay! I'm going to do my best then, um! Thanks for coming!

[ She finishes her copying and stands up. ]

[waiting_for_the_worms]

You're welcome. Try to rest up and take care of yourself, all right?
