7 (Putting Herself Together Again)

[surf_n_makai]

[Action A - 463 Stone Street, morning]

[Kono's been stuck either outside in the pond or inside in the bathtub most of the week.  The gills on her neck were incapacitating, even moreso as time passed.  The infection she got at the same time as her surgery didn't help either, and by the end of the week she was pretty out of it and lethargic.

Monday morning, however, Kono wakes in the bathtub with a start.  Sitting up with a shiver, it takes her a few minutes to realize that she can breathe.  Her hands fly to her neck, and she's relieved to find no gills.  Her arms are no longer covered with spots, she no longer feels weak and exhausted, and the world isn't spinning. 

She's even hungry.  No, in fact she's starving.  Climbing out of the bathtub, she goes to find dry clothes and food.  Housemates, feel free to intercept her somewhere along the way on her mission to eat and be human again.]


[Action B - Around Town]

[Once Kono's fed, bathed, and back to her old self, she ventures out of the house to check in on others.  Maybe she'll run into you at your house, maybe the store, maybe the park, or just out on the street.  If she knows you, she's looking for you to see if you're alright now.  Hopefully you are... if you're not quite yourself yet, she'll try to help.]


[Action C - locked to webball ]

[Kono knocks on the door, a little worried.  She hasn't heard from Peter since before the whole experiments thing started.  She's hoping he managed to dodge the bullet, but she's heard about how his luck goes.]

Peter, are you home?  Peter!

[Hajime answers the door at Ukraine's house. He's a bit wobbly, but he's feeling the best he has all week]

Oh, hi Miss Kono!

[When she gets downstairs, her not!daughter is already there in the kitchen, rifling through the fridge with thick gloves on. Her return to normal isn't as instantaneous as Kono's; her metal skin is rusting and flaking off, revealing small patches of human skin here and there. That's why the gloves are there, after all. So she doesn't rust in her breakfast. That'd be gross.

There's a row of dents in her left cheek, as though the steel there was molded around someone's fingers. In fact, that was essentially what happened; she tried speeding the process along, only to find that this stuff was only coming out on its own.]

[Olivier sees Kono in the park and nearly walks the other way, but stops herself. She's an Armstrong, she doesn't run away. Instead, she walks up to her, hoping she doesn't get one of those unreasonable flashes of pure joy that are still occurring randomly.]

No more gills?

[Guess who meets her coming out of the bathroom... before she can get any (dry) clothes on? If you guessed the guy with his head back on, you'd be right!

Wow, that sure is his not!wife in dripping wet, clinging clothes or no clothes.]

...

[Aaaaaand turning 180 and walking right back out again. His lack of interest is practically offensive.]

[Kono will find Rikku at the malt shop, alternating between drinking her milkshake and shivering because it's actually too cold for a milkshake. Stupid winter.

The girl no longer shows signs of being a corpse, although her eyes seem very different than before. Remember those pupils she was talking about, Kono?]

You're not a fish anymore!

[Peter woke up feeling similarly disoriented. Though, for him, it was a little more positional -- he woke up staring at his bed, which was across from him and upside-down. He double took, fell from the ceiling and plopped onto his bed. Why did he sleep up there? What happened?

The knock on the door was heard as he rose up and stretched his aching limbs. He feels exhausted, like he had a rigorous super-battle, but he schlumps down the stairs to answer it. A woman's voice calls, but he can't tell whose from upstairs.]
