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?

(She snaps back. Dying such a slow horrible death...only to come back the next day, and to know it can happen again and again...it's too much for her.)
Why fight back, if they're just going to keep messing with us!? Nobody's gotten out of Mayfield unless they were droned, and even then some of them come back.
(She slumps against the chair, defeated.)
There's no escaping this place, is there?
no subject
I can't say if there is a way out, I can say that I myself have not given up looking. I have wanted to give up, but, there are good people here that I don't want to give up on, and I keep meeting more good people.
no subject
(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.

I want my dad.

T-thanks Ruri. I'm s-s-sorry you had to listen t-to me whine...

We're all only human, that's all we can expect to be.

That's not being human, that's being stupid.

(Just something to distract herself from how down she's feeling.)

We weren't associated with either military at that point as we stole the Nadesico when the orders we got were exceptionally stupid, and after both sides calmed down things got a lot better.

Maybe, you just need to find people to help you figure out how you do what you want to.
no subject
Or maybe I'm just such a major screw-up. I just...I don't know, I just feel like I can't help anyone. And even if I do, I just know that something bad will happen.
(She grips her hands together, her voice tight.)
I just have this bad feeling...
no subject
Tara. What do you want to do in life? Not what can you do. But when you dream, what do you dream of doing?
no subject
I want to be a travel journalist. I like going to new places, and I like writing. It seems the right thing for me to do, and how hard is it to mess that up?
no subject
If I may ask, if you weren't worried about messing things up, what would you want to do?
