108. Plain

[corrinesbell]

That wasn't me.

I dunno what that was but I promise it wasn't me. I'm really sorry if I said something terrible to any of you.

...Especially you, Colette.

Shirley, I think...can I talk to you?

[And there are some apologies that only work in person. Which is why later in the day she'll be going to house 42 and knocking hesitantly on the door]

I think we can agree that most people weren't themselves during that fiasco.

[corrinesbell]

If I ever, ever turn into that you have my permission to kill me.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

I'd probably tie you up and wait until you were you again.

Though I might take a picture, that dress was nice on you.

[There's that moment of "Crap, I hope I don't freak out if I get closer to her"]

[OH SHEENA ;A; You're getting a big ol' hug.]

[corrinesbell]

[Whoa! Warn her first next time, she didn't sleep last night and Colette-hugs are committed.]

[throwshammers.livejournal.com]

Oh, Sheena, I'm so happy! You're not being mean anymore...!

[Huggle huggle omggggg we missed the nice, friendly Sheena ;A; ]

[markofthewise]

Well, it wasn't me you insulted. So I guess it evens out?

[corrinesbell]

I insulted you?

[markofthewise]

Well you did call me a nothing and implied I could only get into a high class party as a servant. [Nevermind that the second one is actually true.]

[There's a knock on your door, Sheena. Someone's come to visit, despite his own injuries and aching head from trying to reconcile a childhood he never had. Hopefully she won't mind his dinnertime visit.]

[Action]

[corrinesbell]

[She looks a lot better now than she would have this morning, though still very tired. But there's a smile on her face when she sees who it is.]

Hey. D'you wanna come in?

[Action]

[ombra_lira]

[He nods and lets her lead him in. Don't mind him if he seems a little slow. He's had a very long few days. He settles down on the edge of the couch there with a soft sigh. He wanted to see how you were doing.]

[She might need to knock a little louder than that before someone can answer. After all, the bedrooms are on the other side of the house.]

[action]

[corrinesbell]

[It's a little early to be in bed. When no one comes after a while, Sheena debates just leaving. Maybe coming back another time. ...But another sleepless night doesn't sound good at all, so she does knock louder]

[action]

[wise_maiden]

[No, not in bed. Her door's open, she's just been sitting up at her desk and... thinking. Too distracted.

The knock does catch her attention once it's louder, so she makes her way over to answer it then.

... This is really strange with all the double memories going on.]

I'm sorry, I didn't hear the door. Come in, Sheena.

[Yeah that was kind of... Kratos doesn't really want to socialize or anything, after returning back to normal and thus realizing what a failure he really is... but it's still a relief to see that Sheena's back to her old self.]

No one had been themselves this past week.

[corrinesbell]

[Now that she's had time to calm down and sleep think...]

I know you're not gonna know the answer, but...was this a real experiment? Or did it come from whatever caused the earthquake?

[and the summon spirits]

[salvationfound.livejournal.com]

I believe it came from the cause of the earthquake, although I cannot be certain. You'll recall that the barrier, too, acted strangely. Perhaps that was the cause of this... occurrence.

[knightofratatosk]

Are you okay, Sheena?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I'm fine. What about you?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I think so. At least, I don't think I did anything bad.

[sing-thrush.livejournal.com]

Will you be okay, Sheena?

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I'll be fine. Thanks for asking.

[Voice]

[prayingone]

Um... yes? Is there something I can help you with?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

I, uh...I have something that belonged to Stella and Sophie. She left it with me when she was drafted and...I wanna give it back.
