Day 367 - Action
[Evening - Within Trois Park.]

[If she could disappear into the ground she would. Simply melt into the earth beneath her and lose all sense of feeling. Become the grass, or the trees maybe. Living, but unfeeling, incapable of being hurt by the many things all around her. Life would be so simple if there was a switch, to simply turn her emotions off and not have to feel the very real crushing weight within her chest. Instead, as though to mock her very real pain, the greenery around her shifted and changed, mirroring her emotions. It was out of season, but where the cherry tree against her back should have been leafy greens, pink blossoms bloomed and fell in excess. Like the tears that streamed silent down her cheeks, they fell to the ground, and covered her and the earth beneath in pink and white petals, like snow. It zapped some of her strength, something that only happened here in Marina, but she could hardly put a stop to the way her emotions ran wild. Butterflies fluttered around the scene, and would seem out of place if not for the large, blood-like butterfly wings that decorated her back.

She had lost everything. Everything she had fought so hard to accomplish had fallen into ruin. Even though she had tried her hardest, even though she wanted more desperately than anyone to work for peace, and to stop and save her brother... it hadn't made one single difference. He had been right. 'No matter how hard you try, sometimes it will amount to nothing.']

Oniisama...

[It was all her fault. Now he was gone, frozen forever without a heart. What had she done wrong? She had tried so desperately to be the person that he had wanted, but she had failed. And now eternity would be hers to spend alone. She was a mother, she learned, all in the same day that apparently she had become a widow, or close enough. How was she supposed to be a mother, when she couldn't even protect the one person she had always loved? And now of all times? She was only seventeen. One year older than the girl who looked just like her and claimed to be her daughter. There was no doubt that she was. But Yuuki didn't know how to be there for or take care of her, when her own world was crashing all around. It was better if the girl ran as far away from her as she could.

Everything I love or get close to dies. As though her touch was toxic. One after another. Her mother and father, and now Kaname, too. Zero and Ai-- they weren't safe around someone like her. Eyes brimming with tears, she helplessly lifted a hand up to scrub at them. Her soul hurt, and she didn't know how to move forward from it.]

[OOC: After ICly learning that her fiance is gone after meeting with her future daughter. She wont have been home all day! Sorry for the mourning post, I had to get it out of the way :'| ]

	[He's certainly strange. Or maybe it's only that he's too kind. Swallowing, she shakes her head. It isn't that she wants to talk about what has her so devastated. And she doesn't want to burden him either. But at the same time she doesn't want to be alone.] It's fine. [Though she didn't know what to say or how to proceed from there.] What's your name?

[So she doesn't want to be left alone. Good.

It's not that he desperately wants to stay - he has no need for her in this moment that he can see, doesn't know if she's a useful connection to make or not - or that he necessarily thinks he could make her feel better regardless of what he tried. He'd leave if she indicated that's what she wanted. Contact would be good enough for now.

But he's curious, and his search for a way out is turning up a bunch of dead ends anyway. He prefers to stay for at least a while longer.]

Sebastian Michaelis. [And he adds, gently:] Circumstances aside, it's my pleasure to make your acquaintance.

	[With a watery smile she nods, swallowing her emotions as best she can. Circumstances indeed. She really is grateful that he's remaining so calm in light of her distress. If someone fussed over her too much, it would make things more difficult.] Yuuki Kuran. But just Yuuki, please. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would "miss Yuuki" be all right, then? [He rather prefers formality - for aesthetic purposes, of course, but he won't insist if she'd really rather not.] Japanese, is it not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's just fine. [She honors her family name and doesn't dislike it. But her brother was the head of household, and it's him that she's mourning over right now. For now, she really just prefers her given name.]

It is. I live in Northern Japan. [Most don't always recognize the cities and names, though-- it differs from different worlds, apparently, so she leaves it at that.]

I've noticed that there's a small portion of Japanese speaking individuals here. The others tend to speak English, but there's plenty of places and languages I don't recognize.

	A small portion, is it. Mm... while these [he indicates his headset] would go some way towards alleviating that, I imagine that might still be somewhat isolating. [In Sebastian's time period Japan is still kind of doing its own thing, at that. What a culture shock it'd be, coming from such an isolated country.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Maybe a little. [She can't speak English to save her life. She's terrible at it and most days doesn't attempt except for a couple of words here or there. The basics like: 'Where can I find the restroom?' or maybe 'I would like to order a parfait,' and the like.]

There are people I know from home here with me, though. Due to that, we can communicate without these... [She lifts a hand up to lightly brush the headset.]

	[He seems to consider that briefly. Then, mimics her gesture to his own headset.] Would you remove it for a moment? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There's a moment of faint surprise. By now, most of the butterflies have disappeared. The flora while present has stopped changing and shifting, except for the gentle fall of the Sakura blossoms.]

Sure...

[To be honest, it's a reprieve from everything, unexpected. Lifting both hands up she removes it entirely.]

I really can't understand much outside of Japanese though. [Hello, goodbye, my name is... the basics.]

[He notices, as much as he outwardly pays their surroundings no mind, instead focusing on her. It's a bit of a shame - it's an interesting ability and he'd like to see more of it. If it means she's calming down, however (because that is what it means, isn't it?), that's good.

He removes his own headset in one fluid motion.]

I apologise beforehand as I might be somewhat rusty, but... [he says in flawless, unaccented Japanese.]

	[She's clearly surprised. Eyes widening, they soften after a moment. He doesn't sound foreign at all. Rusty in what way...? It's perfect Japanese, from the little spoken so far.] No-- it doesn't sound that way at all. Did you grow up in Japan? [His name is foreign, but maybe he had at least one Japanese parent?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Thank you very much. [And he gives a brief, soft chuckle.]

I did not, but I have spent quite some time there, on and off, although it has been a while now.

[Indeed - flawless as his pronunciation is and as perfectly politely as he still speaks as when they spoke via the communicator, there's a markedly old-fashioned quality to his speech.]

I'm glad for the chance to practice once more.

	[She does note that. While unusual, it isn't wrong though, either.] You're remarkably traveled, then. [She's been out of the country once before, but only the once.] Where are you from originally? [What language is his native language, in other words.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	servingdinner 2016-06-05 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	I live in England, just outside London. [Shh, don't notice how he's not answering her question. He immediately follows up with:] It isn't the same, I realise, since I'm not from your home, but should you ever like to speak to someone else [aside from her friends from home] like this, I would be glad to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-07 03:08 am UTC (link)
	[She doesn't seem to notice at least!] Thank you. [Her smile it faint, but is genuine.] . . . I'd offer the same in return, but- I'm afraid it'd be embarrassing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	servingdinner 2016-06-13 01:39 pm UTC (link)
	[Like it's a light joke:] There is no need for that - I hear it to the point of weariness as it is. [He'd be happy not to hear demonese(??) for several years to come, honestly.] I am happy for the chance to talk, that is all. It seems the thing to do in a place like this - connect, yes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-14 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	Is that what you plan to do while here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	servingdinner 2016-06-16 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	[He gives a vague shake of his head. He does plan to talk to people, but mainly...] As much as I suspect it clearly paints me as a newcomer to say this... I will seek a way out. That is my main objective for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-17 12:29 am UTC (link)
	[The faintest of smiles] There's nothing wrong with that. Of course I feel the same way. I think everyone does. [Almost everyone] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	servingdinner 2016-06-18 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Mm, so I would assume, [he says, and pauses for a moment, as if in thought. What he's seen today is people complacently going about their daily, insignificant businesses. Playing baseball, eating out.] There has been precious little progress towards that end, as I understand it? Aside from the ones the Wardens decide to remove from the facility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-18 09:24 pm UTC (link)
	Unfortunately... [She nods gently in response.] Most of us are looking for ways, and attempting to find things to do in the meantime. It's frustrating, but the technology here is beyond a number of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	servingdinner 2016-06-18 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	I cannot make much sense of it myself, admittedly. I do hope to learn how it works. [Sebastian you're not going to manage to become a hacker in two days or whatever it is you're imagining. You're certainly not going to learn how to hack so well in two days that you can break the prison. (That is pretty much what he's imagining.)] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-06-19 12:38 am UTC (link)
	[She can only nod. It has to be harder if someone isn't familiar with any of the technology here at all.] All we can do is try our best. (Reply to this) (Parent)
