43 -- Falling

[she really thought she knew what she was going to say, and the words were just going to come right out. Instead, she ends up doodling leaf shapes in her journal for a while, until she's used each of her crayon colors]


[filtered to Mat]

[finally, she sighs. Saying anything still seems too hard. So she'll just write a little note--]

I'm sorry.

[she almost shuts her journal, but one more filter comes to mind]

[filtered to Lorne]

[written, again]

I hope you made it through school alright.

[a few other things come to her mind, but she sets her pen down instead.]

...At least it's pretty, this time.

Oh hey, those leaves are pretty.

I sure did, how about you? [Still has NO IDEA]

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[too bad her usual stoicism, and her 'I'm ticked off at you' stoicism seems like pretty much the same thing]

I got locked in a closet.

[And without her nearby, he can't cheat and use his empathy to tell ;;]

By...the possessed people?

[Lorne]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

No.

[Sakaki]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhkay, Pudding Cup, you lost me.

[More new stuff in the journal! Age can scarcely believe all the cool things happening in this weird book he's picked up. He pokes at the leaves, noticing the familiar colors on the page. He starts to smudge them around with his fingers, at first making it seem like there's no rhyme or reason to what he's doing, until this (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5795/snapshot20100228130229.jpg) starts to take shape on a small scale on the page.]

Hee. This is fun!

I wonder if I can paint here?

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[at first she's a little horrified at her leaves being smeared around, but then it starts to become kind of pretty]

...What are you doing?

[monkey-age.livejournal.com]

[Age stops, still a little wary of his talking book.]

I'm painting! This is my home, Oron.

I'm Age, who are you?

[Yeah, Age is a little on the simple side. To him, all art is painting. It's all he's ever known.]

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[Sakaki can deal with simple. That's a good enough answer for her]

[still sounding serious] Sakaki.

You like to paint?

[at first, her note just irritates him. Because, as far as he's concerned, she should be sorry.

Except, it wasn't exactly her fault. Talking to Eunice and Yosuke proved that.

So, after a few hours, he finally dictates a grudging reply]

It wasn't you.

[a long pause]

You alright? [after all, he had shoved her rather forcefully into a closet and left her there.]

[it takes an embarrassingly long time to finally get herself to reply. ...Looks like the shy girl is back]

...Yes.

Sakaki

[no-bloody-lord.livejournal.com]

Good.

[........]

You know, maybe it's best we just pretend the whole bloody thing never happened.

[she can pretend she wasn't possessed and he can pretend he wasn't an idiot who nearly got himself brainwashed for a kiss]

Mat

[so-catless.livejournal.com]

[so terminally embarrassed. It's still all she can do to even get herself to answer at all]

...Okay.
