Day 312 // action, p. much everywhere
[ Yesterday was irritating.

Haruka hadn't bothered avoiding mirrors - too much of a pain - but seeing blood on her hands every time she passed one was just tacky. The sight also reminded her that no matter how much this prison has come to mean for some of its inhabitants, Haruka has her own Mission to fulfill. She can't do that here.

She doesn't want to fight a futile battle, though, which has stymied her. Wait to act until you're certain of success, then dispose of the problem as efficiently as possible: that's Haruka Tenoh's ideal style. She knows what's waiting for them beyond the prison - now she just has to get back through those doors again. Which involves finding them.

Which is where infiltrating Sector 6 comes in.

Despite the less than stellar weather, Haruka's up early this morning, driving around each Sector in turn with occasional contemplative stops in front of the entrance to 6. She's not going in yet, not today. But the mirrors did remind her of what's at stake, so her resolve's growing. She'll have to discuss it with Michiru, but.....she can't leave things as they are. ]

The wind is shifting.

[Veronica hasn't been on her best game recently. Normally she's all about the plan: make one, do one, be done. But even after deciding to hunt down Haruka and see if she's telling the truth about not having the key to the door anymore, she did...nothing. She never thought herself the type to give in to depression, but every day it's getting harder and harder to get out of bed.

So it's a complete surprise when she stumbles on Haruka completely by accident. By spilling coffee on her.]

Oh! I'm so sorry!

	[ Whoa! Haruka's caught by surprise, too, and stretches out an arm to steady the other woman. ] No, I - [ Wait, are both of them out of it? She studies Veronica's face, not making the connection yet. ] Are you all right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm fine. Clumsy, but fine. [`I'd been thinking this whole thing would go a lot easier if I hadn't bitten her head off about the mistletoe bots the other day, but it doesn't look like she remembers me. Small mercies.`] Are you all right? I didn't get coffee on you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's fine. [ There's a splotch, yeah, but nothing that can't be fixed. And, now that she's had time to gather her thoughts - ] Looks like you weathered the robots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Despite their best efforts. [`Now the question is...how to find a natural segue to what I really want to know?`] So, where are you off to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A shrug. ] Around. Driving helps me clear my head. [ There's a very faint chuckle at that. Oh boy. A motor scooter. ] If you count this as "driving"... (Reply to this) (Parent)

[Haruka wasn't the only one who saw herself in blood yesterday. Euphie found it more traumatizing than irritating, but she's trying to busy herself today to keep the thoughts at bay. And even though mirrors are perfectly normal today she's been trying to avoid looking in them. She couldn't do her usual hairstyle with the small buns behind each ear. It's all hanging loose around her shoulders as she sees Haruka drive by.]

	[ Haruka might be lost in thought, but she's not that spaced out. So not long after passing Euphie, she's slowing down and peering over her shoulder, one foot dragging along the pavement to stop the scooter. ] ....Principal?

	Haruka. [She offers a soft smile that she isn't entirely feeling even if she does always like seeing the other girl.] I thought that was you. Always moving so fast. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A snort. ] Comparatively speaking. [ But she didn't stop to complain about the lack of decent motor vehicles in Marina. Haruka swings down her kickstand, getting a better look at Euphie. Lack of sleep, or...? ] The makeover's done nothing for your mood, y'know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah... [She reaches up to absently touch her hair.] I was in a hurry. [You know prison life. Always very rush rush.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Well, this is Haruka's cue to stop being a smartass. Her expression softens. ] Is everything okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. [She looks down for a moment.] After yesterday, I didn't want to look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does it matter? [ She tries to smile reassuringly. ] I'm partial to the ocean, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
