97. Countdown

[corrinesbell]

[It's still pouring. Sheena would be reminded of her first few days in Luceti. ...If she wasn't asleep. Out in the rain. On a bench somewhere.

In her defense, she was headed for the clinic because she just couldn't stand being sick anymore. Whether or not they would have been able to do a whole lot didn't matter.

Anyway. Sleeping, in the pouring rain, outside. What do you do?]

[What will he do? Well, he does know it's rude to wake up girls who are sleeping. Unless it's his sister. On the other hand, watching her drown in the rain isn't good either. He'll try to work that out as he stands over her with an umbrella. Maybe someone more helpful will show up and he can sneak away like he didn't see this.]

[corrinesbell]

[She's not going to wake up just because it's not raining on her anymore]

[markofthewise]

[Ah, complications. Well, maybe he could just clear his throat loudly.]

Ahem. [Cough cough. Wait, that last cough sounded sort of real. Is he getting sick? Nah, not likely.] Psst. Hey. [He nudges her in the shoulder.] It's raining.

[corrinesbell]

[yeeeeeaaaah no. She's sick, staying asleep feels better]

[Lo and behold, Stella has an umbrella! She has her journal against her chest and is out and about, trying to prepare herself in case Senel comes back at the worst time. But then she sees Sheena. She immediately heads over and holds the umbrella over her while she uses her free hand to shake her shoulder gently.]

Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

[it takes quite a few shakes to wake her, and even then her whole vibe is just miserable]

Huh?

[Stella's starting to get wet now, but that's all right. She enjoys the rain, anyway. And she's too busy being worried for Sheena.]

You shouldn't sleep in the rain like this...

[corrinesbell]

I'm not sleeping. [yes she is. She's drifting off again already. Something's obviously wrong, Stella]

[Normally Minato wouldn't be wandering today, as rain and he don't mix well, but he needed some supplies that couldn't wait. On the way to the square he spots Sheena managing to take narcolepsy to a level he hasn't yet managed. Approaching, he holds the umbrella over her and gently shakes her shoulder. If thunder won't wake her, neither will talking.]

[corrinesbell]

[go away you stupid shaking. She shrugs him off and makes an annoyed noise]

[emp3thy]

[harder shaking. Rain is not healthy, Sheena.]

[corrinesbell]

[big deal go away. She smacks at him drowsily with one hand]

-Brings her an umbrella, that's what.-

[corrinesbell]

[but she is sleeping. Out cold]

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

-But at least she's dry. Kasumi's considering carrying her somewhere else...-

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

Excuse me, miss-? Miss!

[corrinesbell]

Geez, what-- [glare, then blink. Hey! We know your face!] Allen?

[outwalks.livejournal.com]

Yes, who--

It's rather cold out here. Would you mind coming with me?

[Kuroyuri is just out for a grocery run with their little umbrella and all when they come across someone sleeping in the pouring rain.

Hey, we know this person.

They crouch down with a considering look, before grabbing a nearby stick and prodding her with it.]

[corrinesbell]

[shifts away from the stick]

Ah... Sheena... hey...

[ He has an umbrella on him. He'll hold it over her, waiting for her to wake up. ]

[corrinesbell]

[Minato had a point - just words aren't going to do it]

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

[ He decides to lean and shake her gently. ]
