(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?

625 Topper

[Here's Yuna, trudging along looking similarly glum and also holding a picture in her hands. As she passes by Tara, she notices the other girl's expression and stops.]

Hey. Town send you back a depressing picture too?

Date: 2011-12-13 12:22 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com
Hey.

(She nods at Yuna's question.)

Yeah. I mean, it's not a bad picture, it's just...it's a picture of my dad, and I miss him a lot.

[Yuna nods sympathetically.]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I guess the town decided it wasn't making the holidays depressing enough, huh?

Date: 2011-12-13 12:46 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com
Yeah...

You got a picture like that too?

Date: 2011-12-13 12:52 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
Yup, sure did.

[Another nod as Yuna hands the picture over for Tara to take a look. It's a picture of her as a little girl, smiling and laughing with her parents.]

I mean, it was bad enough reminding me about dad, but...

[She probably doesn't really need to actually say the rest of that. It's from when her mom was still alive.]

(Tara looks at it, and she understands. She knows your pain Yuna.)

Your parents look like really nice people.

(She shows Yuna her picture as well. It's one of her dad and her, taken at the carnival.)

I just got out of hospital when this picture was taken; I was in a coma for four months. Dad thought that I needed some cheering up, so he took me to the carnival. He knows I love carnivals.

Man, I ate so much cotton candy and pie I nearly got sick again.

Date: 2011-12-13 01:17 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
Yeah, they're the best.

[Picture exchange! Yuna laughs a little at the story, smiling at the picture.]

You guys look really happy together. I bet your dad's a pretty great guy.

Date: 2011-12-13 01:23 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com
Yeah, he is. He's a really serious guy most of the time, and it's really hard to get him to smile, or laugh. But he really does care about me, and he's always there for me when I need help.

(She pauses, feeling another wave of homesickness hit her.)

I'm sorry, I never introduced myself. I'm Tara.

From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
Haha, my dad's like the total opposite! He's really goofy, and can't do anything right without me there. But he's always been there for me too, and I really love him a lot.

[She gives a bit of a wistful smile.]

Nice to meet you, Tara. I'm Yuna.

Date: 2011-12-13 02:32 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com
Nice to meet you too, Yuna.

(She responds with a tentative smile of her own.)

I'd like to meet your dad, maybe he could teach mine to relax.

Date: 2011-12-13 09:27 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
I bet he could. Dad's good at relaxing. He's so good at it that I have to do all the cooking and cleaning myself!

(That's not relaxing, that's being irresponsible.)

My Dad works at home, so he's usually the one who does the household chores. But sometimes we cook together; especially on Saturday. We tend to make a lot of mess when we're in the kitchen, so we need time to clean up.

(She chuckles.)

Dad's such a serious and strict person, that it's always funny to see him wearing that apron I got him for Father's Day. It's got, "Number 1 Dad" written over it, with a chef hat too.

Date: 2011-12-14 09:31 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
Heh, if my dad tried to cook anything, he'd probably burn the apartment down. So it's probably better that I'm the one taking care of all that.

[She laughs a little.]

Wish I could see a picture of that! I can't even imagine it from how serious you keep saying he is. I bet he looks pretty silly in it.

From: [identity profile] forgotten-titan.livejournal.com
(Tara laughs along with Yuna.)

I actually did take a picture of him in it once. Maybe the town will give that back to me, and I can show it to you some time.

Thanks for talking with me Yuna. I really needed this.

Date: 2011-12-16 12:03 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
Hey, no problem! Daddy's girls gotta stick together, right?

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

Date: 2011-12-17 12:24 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
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.

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

From: [identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com
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!

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.

It's cool, I'll wear a helmet.

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