13th Magic Bullet

[drank_the_milk]

[Well, the milk has worn off and Yuna's basically done cowering in her room and moping.  She still feels bad, but she knows it won't do any good to just keep sitting around feeling sorry for herself.  The first thing to do is apologize to the town, and then try to get on with her life.]

[Phone]

So, um... I wasn't really feeling like myself last week.  I know I did and said some bad things.

...Really bad things.

But I wanted to at least say I'm sorry.  I guess that's about it.

[Action; rec center]

[Yuna's got her basketball uniform from home back now, so that's some small consolation for what the town put her through.  She's got it on at the rec center today as she practices her shots on the basketball court.  It looks like she's trying to give it her all, but she's missing way more shots than usual.  Easy shots that even a beginner wouldn't have much problem with.  It should be pretty clear to anyone even remotely familiar with the sport that there's something on her mind holding her back, but Yuna just keeps on trying anyway.  It's the only way she knows to keep her mind from wandering to bad places right now.]

[Action; 1446 Mitchell Road]

[After several hours of failed basketball practice, Yuna heads for Negi's house.  She clutches her pactio card tightly to her chest, walking up to the house and ringing the doorbell.]

Hello...?  Negi-sensei?  Are you home?

[Yuna grumbles a little, bouncing another shot off the rim.]

I know, okay? I'm just... off my game today.

"....A bad day?"

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

More like a bad week.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I think we all had a bad week. Most of mine was..."

[She just shakes her head]

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

What happened to you?

[Anything to get the focus off herself...]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"The town made me think I was reliving the day my family died... Then someone hit me in the face with a bat and knocked me off Makeout point leaving me for dead. Then I spent several days in the hospital unconscious."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow... that sounds terrible.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

[she nods a bit]

"I don't think anyone had a good week."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you can say that again.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"I don't think anyone had a good week."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

...You actually said it again.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"You seemed to think it was necessary."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

It's just an expression.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Oh... I see... You almost smiled though."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess I did, huh?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"A few more deadpan deliveries and maybe it'll help you make that shot."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Couldn't hurt, right?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Sadly they require setup. Still, if you'd like to vent at someone I'm here. We're neighbors after all."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I'd really rather just forget last week completely.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Just don't think about it. If the town made you do something stupid people will understand."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

It was still pretty bad, though.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

"Well, seeing as how the town has three modes. Kill people, spill your deepest darkest secrets, or space you out with some sort of drug it probably was. That being said people here are reasonable... Most of the time."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

[She nods a bit]

"This is a horrible place, try not to let it break you."

[gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess I can't give up yet, huh?
