Rebel 24 [Action/Written]

[not_meatbuns]

[Early this morning, before the sun has really broken through the thick clouds outside, Litchi starts awake. Absolutely everything aches terribly, but she's alive. Every breath is rattling slightly and her lungs aren't terribly cooperative, but they're working. Not that she actually remembers dying, but... the last thing she can remember is Noel approaching her in the woods and then everything went black. And she knows it can't have been good.

...Oh, god, Noel. She has to be alright, right? She... she couldn't have...

Litchi tries to get a look around herself, but all she can tell is that she's in a bed somewhere. And there's someone next to her, but without her glasses, she can't make out any details. But this feels familiar... whoever it is, she has a feeling it's someone she knows.

But, as much as she wants to try to slip away and make sure Noel wasn't harmed, she also doesn't want to wake up her slumbering companion. Especially considering that she can't see at all; she knows she wouldn't get far. But oh god, what if...

No, no. Panicking won't do any good. Just calm down, wait for a good chance to slip away. Even though Litchi isn't sure how far her legs will carry her with how achey and watery they feel.

...Just where is she, anyhow? Where are her glasses? Lao Jiu? And... why can't she sense the Boundary at all anymore?]

---

[And later on, once she's had a chance to get her bearings, Litchi makes a note in her journal. Her handwriting is much sloppier than it usually is, but she really couldn't trust herself to make it through with a steady voice, so... written it is.]

Everyone... I don't think I can ever apologize enough for what happened. I never meant for it to go so far.

I can promise that it will never happen again.

i'm so sorry.

[[ooc: She's waking up in Thirteen's bed, but after that, action threads for House 48 are a-okay. ♥]]

[For a good bit, Thirteen's unaware that there's someone even in his room, let alone in his bed. Still asleep, he turns over. There's something warm in his bed and he's unknowingly drawn to it. So, there goes an arm clumsily onto Litchi. Is it around her or just on her? Hell, he can't tell.]

[Action]

[not_meatbuns]

[...Oh dear. Well, there goes an easy escape. With an arm looped around her, she's not going anywhere.

She tries to stay very still, hoping he'll move on his own without having to wake him up... but she ends up coughing. Oops.]

[Action]

[He doesn't move much, save for a light stir at first. Something nice and warm in his bed. Give it another half-minute or so.

...And then something in his brain clicks as he moves his arm that's wrapped around Litchi. Wait. Wait.

There's something in this bed that should not be here. His eyes lazily drift open to see what the hell it is, everything blurry and out of focus at first.]

Litchi...?

What happened? [So out of the loop. And now she's worried.]

[Written]

[not_meatbuns]

[It takes Litchi a while to even think of how to word it. To one of Noel's best friends, no less.]

It's a bit of a long story, but... to cut it short, I lost control of the powers I had from back home.

I don't remember much, but

i'm told I attacked a few people.

[Written]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[She'll switch to written now to make it easier. And she's quiet a bit before wondering how to go about this. At the moment? Yup, still just worried.]

Are you all right now?

[Voice]

[redstringed]

Then your little dalliance with insanity is over?

[Written]

[not_meatbuns]

So it seems, yes.

[Written]

[redstringed]

Perhaps you have learned a lesson in toying with forces beyond your control.

How much do you know of what transpired?

[Voice]

[catus_carnival]

Lie-chi! [yes she even remembered your name for that]

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[She's so happy to hear from Tao that she doesn't even switch over to written for this. Her voice cracks slightly, but she's so relieved.]

Oh, Tao...! Are you okay? [She didn't attack you too, did she?]

[Voice]

[catus_carnival]

Tao is...fine, meow...

But Tao missed you a lot! [fuck this shit dancing edge all the way to house 48 now]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Litchi-san...? Are you alright now? You aren't still hurt, are you?

[Written]

[not_meatbuns]

I'm much better now, thank you.

Although it may be a while before I'm back on my feet entirely. [This cough doesn't seem like it will be going away all too soon.]

[Written]

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

[He switches to written to be polite.]

Is there anything I can do to be of assistance? If you need medical attention, I can ask my friend to see to you.

[Voice | Filtered]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

...Miss Litchi, you needn't worry. You won't be held accountable for that which you did not intend. [This isn't your fault. It's Noel's fault, obviously. Somehow. Whatever.]

But that aside... how are you feeling?

[Written | Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

[Oh, Tsubaki. Somehow that just breaks her heart even more to hear.]

To be honest, I don't feel too wonderful. But I have to admit that it's an improvement from before.

[Written | Filtered]

[cry-camellia.livejournal.com]

Do you need anything?

[Supplies? Medicine? Someone to watch Wuthering Heights with and forget the weight of the world? Just say the word.]

[Voice/Filtered]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

Litchi.

[Voice/Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

[Crushing guilt.]

...Ragna.

[Written/Filtered]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[There she is. Noel knew she would be returning around this time, and she was right. It's now that Noel should speak with her. And she has Lao Jiu with her... Noel needs to return him to his rightful owner. But regardless, Noel should be happy that Litchi's back.

So, come on. Why can't you say anything? Is writing easier? Not even. The words won't come this time. But she needs to write something, so...]

Miss Litchi

[Too bad she quickly scribbles that out and proceeds to close the journal. Later. Yes. She'll talk to Litchi later when she knows what to say.

Which will be soon. Obviously.

...Shit.]

[Written | Filtered]

[not_meatbuns]

[Whenever Noel does reopen the journal, there will be a message waiting for her, the handwriting shaky.]

i'm so sorry.

[No Audio!]

[hageshii]

[Goroh notes that Litchi is back. Well, good. He's glad. It was about time. He doesn't bother following any of the conversations. He just closes the journal and is done with it.]

[Written]

[4000ages.livejournal.com]

...Litchi? Are you alright...? [He heard of her attacking Noel, but little else.]

[Written]

[not_meatbuns]

I'm just fine. [Now that she's taken some medicine and downed a ridiculous amount of tea.]

I'm sorry if I worried you at all, Yao.
