Memory 003: (Backdated to after the Thanksgiving nuclear event)

(When Tara woke up after her first death, her initial reaction was to throw her quilt covers off and gasp for air. Dying from radiation poisoning is horrible, and the slow death had definitely hit her hard. Things get even more confusing for her when she notices that she's back in her bed, totally healthy and alive. She scrambles for the curtains; the sight of Mayfield, back to normal, both relieves her and scares her.)

Action: 625 Topper Street and around

(Tara's inching out the door of her house nervously. She keeps looking around, half-expecting a cannibal to pop out of nowhere. There's a box out on the doorstep that has her name on it though, so she HAS to go out. Unwrapping it where she stands, her apprehension changes to surprise, then happiness, and then sadness as she stares at the photograph of her and her father that Mayfield had just sent to her.

If you're around, you'll notice her staring glumly at the picture. Wanna ask her how she's feeling?)

Action: Mayfield High
(She seems out of it today. Instead of studiously taking notes like usual during class, she just seems to be staring out the window vacantly, her pencil idly tracing around her books. Teachers may need to grab her attention before they'll get even a reaction out of her, while fellow classmates are free to ask her what's wrong.)

Phone
Ummm...hi, this might sound like a weird question to ask but...does anyone have any practice swords or something that I can borrow?

I guess.. not.

... Look, you gonna be okay?

Hey, no problem! Daddy's girls gotta stick together, right?

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Sure.

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I wish I could. But I'm not strong, whether it's physical or mental. I can't take care of myself, I can't save my friends, I can't help anyone!!

(Her voice gets angrier and angrier as she speaks, letting out some feelings that have been bottled up inside.)

And even if I try, I just mess things up. I'm just useless.

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-16 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

(She smiles and nods.)

I guess I should start getting ready for school, huh? Don't want to get droned or anything for being late. I'll see you around then.

...is it so bad to stay here?

(The words come out of her mouth before she can stop them. But it's been on her mind for awhile, and once they're out, there's no stopping them.)

I mean, yeah we were kidnapped, but what if everyone just listened to the town authorities and did what we were told to do? Maybe they'd stop all these stupid events and let us live our lives, maybe even let us go home for good behavior.

Sure thing! See you later. Oh, and if you ever want to hang out or something, I'm usually at the basketball court after class lets out.

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not that good at basketball though...you sure you wouldn't mind?

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Everybody has to start somewhere. And I'll never be able to start a girls' team after school if I'm not willing to teach people how to play!

*He hesitates, having no idea what to say or do, or if he should do anything.*

You need anythin?

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
No. I'm fine.

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
You sure? I'm really bad at sports. There was this one time when I was playing soccer and I kicked the ball till it smacked my PE teacher in the face.

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
It's cool, I'll wear a helmet.

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-17 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I might come over after school then. Thanks Yuna! I'll see you there?
bye_to_yer_head: (it's on now)

He's trying. D:

[personal profile] bye_to_yer_head 2011-12-17 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Alroight then. Well you know... I'm here if you need me or somethin'.

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely!

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
For some people it isn't, for others it is. It really is more of a personal question. For me, if they didn't do horrible things all the time and torture us, I have enough connections to not mind staying here. That being said back home I have someone very important to me that needs my help.

[This is his not convinced face. He tries not to be poking about looking at people's souls, but it's second nature to him and he can tell she's far more bothered than she wants to admit.]

Are you sure?

I think this is the first conversation they had without them arguing. D:

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
OK.

(She shuts the front door quietly.)

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
...






I want my dad.

(And now the waterworks start.)

[identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com 2011-12-18 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! I mean, is this the face of someone who's upset?

(She puts on a HUGE smile.)
bye_to_yer_head: (g'day)

Thats so sad. D:

*He watches her go. He knows she doesn't want to talk to him, hell she doesn't even like him. But he still feels awkward, wondering if he should go after her. In the end he lets her go. If she needs something... she knows where to find him.*

I feel bad for the both of them. D:

(She doesn't want to see him; it just hurts to think that Mayfield would give her such a horrible man to be her father when she has someone who actually loves, cares and protects her back home.

She'll do her best to avoid the Sniper for a long, long time.)

[ And that'll cause him to slam a fist down on his desk and shoot a glare to her. More out of annoyance than anger. ]

Don't give me that shit. Everyone has potential. You've only decided to give up before you've ever really tried. You're saying you're useless? You know why? Because you're not doing anything to change that. You have to be willing to make changes and sacrifices, to constantly train yourself until you're finally what you want to be.

[Ruri gets up and will quietly and softly hug her]

I'm sorry.
