004 [video/action] [Forward dated to Friday Morning]

[ribbonbon]

[Video/Action for CH 4]

[When the video feed switches on, there's a bit of a bounce, as if the journal has just opened upon been dropped. When it finally stops, one can see a crooked view of a set of stairs. Seconds later, there's a sharp yelp and the camera catches a brief glimpse of a certain blonde teenager tumbling past, down the stairs, followed by the loud thud of her smacking into a wall. But fear not, this is no act of violence. Just a clumsy teen being clumsy.]

Ow...ow ow owwww...!

[For a minute or so, one can hear a few whines and quiet hisses of pain.]

Mmmrrrgghh... S...Stupid wings...! Ow... Okay. Just need to...get up. Ooogh, first my hair and now this...!

[Apparently, Pilouette has forgotten she even dropped the journal because after a few seconds, it gets some good footage of her feet shakily shuffling forward, right before she trips over it and, letting out a loud shriek, gets a nice faceful of STAIRS just as the feed cuts out.]


[Action]

[Later, after putting on a different set of clothes, Pils heads out to the grocery because there's one thing that always makes her feel better on a crappy day: BAKING~! At least the bad weather from the past week has cleared up. There's a chance one may run into her at the grocery or on the way back. Either way, with the way her luck is going, she's pretty paranoid and just trying not to make things worse for herself, so she'll be stepping carefully.]

[Later in the afternoon, Pilouette can be found sitting outside, behind the school, stuffing herself with sweets and generally being A DEGENERATE PUNK a mopey little sourpuss.]

((ooc: Feel free to indirectly/accidentally cause bad things to happen! It's like a big festival of bad luck!))

[And while she's eating behind the school, Precis is going to notice her and walk up to her. It had been a while since they'd spoken over the journal, buuuut Precis saw her at the New Feather Party, too. So she definitely remembers Pilouette now.]

Hey! Pilouette, right?

[Precis might also be identifiable by the little round robot following her around.]

What's up?

[ribbonbon]

[Hearing a familiar voice, she looks over, her shoulders slumped. She thinks for a second, trying to remember this person's name; it has been some time after all. However, she notices the little robot with her and Pils can only remember speaking to one person who with a robot and tries to give a half hearted little smile.]

Y-Yeah, that's me. It's Precis, right?

I just thought I'd try to get some quiet back here, you know? It's been some kinda day today.

[rocketpunch]

[Get some quiet? Oh, maybe she should leave. Except not. Precis is so glad to see someone she knows on her walk that she doesn't even think about the implications of Pils words.]

Ohhh, yeah, totally. I live in a house with two guys, so I sneak out all the time. What's got you so down?

[ribbonbon]

[Despite her words, Pilouette doesn't really mind Precis's presence. She just wanted to find a place where she didn't think she'd get in anymore little accidents.]

It's, um, just been kind of a bad day, I guess. Like, nothing super huge, but just one thing after another. That kinda thing.

[ There's another girl in the grocery store, although she's pretty obviously hovering around the food items that are more sweet or tasty or generally not too good for you if you eat too much of it. Aka Usagi is happily jumping around there, squealing over the food-- when she doesn't ntoice Pilouette and manages to bump into the girl, not even realising it's her. ]

A-- ah, sorry!

[ action ]

[ribbonbon]

[Well, if Usagi didn't notice Pilouette then apparently Pils' plan to keep on the downlow is working a little too well. After being bumped, Pils stumbles back dropping a couple of the things she was holding; chocolate chips, a bag of flour...basic baking ingredients. With a sigh, she stoops down to pick it up, not bothering to see who it is that's bumped into her.]

No, no, it's fine...

[ action ]

[lunas]

Here, let me help with those!

[ At least Usagi's willing to be helpful, so she picks up some of the stuff from the ground too, handing them back over to her, and-- ... hey. ]

Wait.. We talked before, right? You seem familiar..!

[voice]

[herd_effect]

[What is it with injured people broadcasting over the journal system lately? It's awfully concerning.]

Hello? Are you okay?

[voice]

[ribbonbon]

[Wh-? Awww, stupid journal! She didn't even know it had been on! She's halfway convinced that they were purposely made to switch on at random. When she responds, her voice sounds a little nasally, as if it's stopped up.]

Oh! Uh...Y-yes! Um, I'm, uh, I'm okay! I think!

[voice]

[herd_effect]

Are you sure? You don't sound well.

[Voice]

[noonelikegrooseton]

[Groose can't help but laugh a little bit at this girl's clumsiness. But he remembers her from that party.]

Heh. Hey, you okay?

[Voice]

[ribbonbon]

[Ffffffff- how many people saw that?! She is just...so embarrassed right now.]

Y...yes! I'm f-fine! Um, I...I think! Ow ow owowowwwww...!

[action]

[shinesbrightest]

[...yep, sure did just hear something go crash somewhere down the hallway. It's too loud to sound like someone just dropped something, so Shinji decides to check it out.

Of course, as he makes his way toward the stairs, he hears another crash. Wondering if they're still alive, he calls out to them.]

Um... Is everything okay out here?

[action]

[ribbonbon]

[She calls out from the bottom of the stairs, her voice sounding a little nasally.]

Y-Yes! Well...No! Um, kind of! I think!

[action]

[shinesbrightest]

You think...? [She's not sure?! He starts heading down the stairs, but he doesn't see her yet.] What happened?

voice;

[menial]

What's "this"? Not a flu shot, I hope.

['Yeah, yeah, not letting something go, whatever.']

voice;

[ribbonbon]

[And the embarrassment continues to grow!]

N-no! It's not a flu shot! I...I just had a little tumble, that's all!

voice;

[menial]

Ah. Much better.

[Action]

[areyoumyfriend]

[Yuriko is wandering near the school, exploring when she spots Pilouette. For a while she'll just stare curiously from a distance, not sure if she should approach or not.]

[Action] 1/2

[ribbonbon]

[Pilouette doesn't notice the other girl at first. Rather, she stuffs a cookie into her mouth, forgetting her usual polite eating habits, caught up in her moping.]

[Action] 2/2

[ribbonbon]

[However, she stops mid-chew when she finally does spot Yuriko. Oh, gosh, this is embarrassing, being seen eating in such a way. She was kind of hoping no one would notice her back here. She hurriedly swallows the snack, before putting on a kind of strained smile and giving her a little wave.]

[Action]

[areyoumyfriend]

[Yuriko actually looks kind of surprised at the wave and isn't sure how to react, so she'll just awkwardly stare some more.]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Whoa, geez... [The spontaneous, near-irrepressible urge to laugh is quickly stifled by genuine concern; that did look like a nasty spill.]

You okay...?

[Voice]

[ribbonbon]

[She chooses to respond by voice; she's doesn't want people seeing her looking like this. Her voice sounds a little nasally, like she's holding her nose.]

Um...Y-Yes! I, uh, I'm fine! I think!

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Uh... [He knits his brows, not particularly convinced; but, after a thoughtful pause, he gently presses on rather than taking her word for it and leaving things be as he tends to do.] ...Y'sure?
