week three, monday.

[foodbin]

[Most of Emma's free time is spent in one of just a few places; today, that place is the garden. She's not far from the koi pond, but she's bending to inspect a group of flowers.

When she hears Miki approach, though, she straightens up, brushing her hands on her jeans.]

Hey there.

[stillstands]

[ Hey, inspecting the flowers is all well and good. Miki can chat over them, if she wants. ]

Hey.

You said to find you, when I had some information about what we discussed. [ And this is hot off the press, still smoking. ]

[foodbin]

[She nods, but other than that, she falls silent so she can listen to what Miki has to say.]

[stillstands]

The Corruption can see everything that its host does. So it has the whole... week? Longer? However long it's been lying dormant in someone to watch what's going on and I guess come up with a plan.

[ she doesn't look happy about this. ]

[foodbin]

...I figured that might be the case.

[But she still sounds Less Than Pleased.]

Shit.

week three, sunday.

[foodbin]

[A while after the execution concludes, Emma is seeking Miki out. When she finds her near the river that runs through the village, she approaches, a small and concerned frown on her face.]

Hey. You got a second?

[stillstands]

[ Miki’s just sat on the river bank, not entirely paying attention as she just watches the water flow past. When she hears someone speaking to her though, she looks up — a little startled, like she’s been snapped back into the present. ]

Hm?

Oh, hello. Um, yes, I’m not busy or anything.

[foodbin]

[She pauses for a moment, surprised by the reaction, before:]

...You okay?

[stillstands]

[ Hm. No, not entirely. ]

Just a bit wrapped up in my thoughts, that’s all.

You needed something?

[foodbin]

If you want to talk about it...

[It's an open offer, even if she won't push Miki about it.]

Well, first, I wanted to see how you were. Then - I had a question to ask you.

week four, tuesday.

[foodbin]

[Here they are on the Quidditch field, probably after their key quest (since neither of them were traumatized while that was going on). Emma is frowning at the wardrobe with crossed arms, and she gives a sigh.]

You ready...?

[stillstands]

[ yeah I mean. nothing traumatising about flying dung bombs, brooms or whomping willows amirite.

Miki doesn't look all too happy about this either. How is a wardrobe so menacing? ]

As I'll ever be, I guess. What was the word that lady says makes it go away? Riddiku--? lous?

[foodbin]

I'm pretty sure that was it, yeah.

[She steps forwards to open the door, though, even if she glances at Miki beforehand.]

Hopefully it's nothing too bad.

[stillstands]

Are you okay going first?

[ Emma's right there but she's going to ask! ]

Hopefully it won't be but...

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

Yeah, I don't mind. I've got this.

[Until she opens the door, and... It's strange. The man who comes out of the wardrobe seems completely average, normal in every way - there's just a few things wrong about this scenario. The first is that, the longer he looks around, the easier it is to tell that there's something soulless and empty in his eyes and his smile.

The second is that, as soon as she sees him, Emma is planting both hands over her mouth and taking a step back, clearly terrified. Hm.]

WEEK 3 - Friday

[stillstands]

[ She's just staring at the brooms. Emma.

Emma. They've got brooms? What. ]

...

I'm not really sure what to do with these.

[foodbin]

Well...

[Hm.]

I wouldn't do anything with it just yet. Most of the items we've got so far have been one use only, right? Wouldn't want to waste it.

[stillstands]

True, but they'd been things like scrolls with obvious one use purposes. This kinda sounds like it just hovers....?

[foodbin]

You could probably do some damage if you hit someone with it...?

[Hm.]

[stillstands]

Or really aggressively sweep up my house.

week five, tuesday.

[foodbin]

[A while after her expedition ends, Miki is getting a knock on her door! From the other side:]

Hey, it's Emma. Can I come in?

[stillstands]

[ HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ]

...

[ There's a pause, and then the door unlocks. Miki looks schneepy. ]

Mm, sure. Everything okay?

[foodbin]

Well, hopefully. I just wanted to see what happened, with the... sheep.

[But, hm. Before that:]

Are you alright?

[stillstands]

I'm alright. Just tired.

[ hffff ]

Did you know boys are all useless in a crisis, apparently?

[foodbin]

Oh, absolutely. It's good you've learned that at a young age. Want to fill me in?
