17 // Action

A. OUTSIDE 5270 CUNNINGHAM LANE (open to all)

[She sifted through the rubble one more time, looking for the gun she had regained. No luck. Of course not. She sighed and glanced up.

Just in time to see a hatchet bury itself into a skull and a group descend on the person, hacking and mutilating the body. Her instinct to scream welled up and she slapped a hand over her mouth to stop herself. They'd hear her if she screamed, just run. Run. Just run.

And she did. All the way back into the remains of the house
]

B BASEMENT OF 5270 CUNNINGHAM LANE (open to ANYONE in Ukraine's basement)

[She was curled up as small as she could in a corner of the basement, head on her knees, silently crying. First destruction, then--then that. She felt a sob well up and buried her face in her hands to cover the sound. She wanted to go home. She just wanted to go home.]

Psshaw~ [Little scoff.] Like as if.

Of course you know what to do, you're like doing it right now sitting right here. Totally not dead, totally safe, and totally taken care of. [Plops down next to her with a smile.]

Besides I'm here~! I'm like a survivor champion. Just ask Liet.

[Her smile is a little thin but she's still smiling. Progress]

I guess... Not dead is good.

[Ukraine does. She just holds her close.]

[Progress is always good.]

Not dead is way good. [Don't mind his little nimble fingers weaving their way into your hair, Koharu.]

And you know, back at my house, there's like thirty eight million people. And that's only including the people at my house, I have a bunch more that moved out and went to live with the other nations for a bit. [Begins braiding a section of her hair.]

And there's a total of like seven billion people on the planet. It's totally crazy!

So when I get super bummed, I just think... woah. There's only a one in seven billion chance that my problems are the absolute worst problems in the entire world.

And it makes me totally appreciate what I do have, which is usually like a lot more than I thought it was. [Smiles.]

[Koharu cries softly, trying not to let Ukraine hear but it's probably a futile effort

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Koharu listened, going still as he braided her hair. It was calming on its own, but the words gave her something else to focus on]

It's true...I'm entirely certain people have worse problems. ...Seven billion people is a lot after all.

[Ukraine continues to hug her, stroking her hair softly.]

It's going to be alright.

[identity profile] likesottlyfab.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Totally, it makes my brain hurt just trying to think about it. [Laughs.]

I wish we had some flowers or something down here, you'd look mega cute if I could weave them in.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Koharu nodded, trying to wipe her eyes without letting go] S-Sorry

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe if things get better? [She latches onto the subject change] If things go back to normal...There's a flower shop. Ukraine worked at it sometimes I think.

[identity profile] likesottlyfab.livejournal.com 2011-11-28 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh that sounds perfect.

We'll make it a date then, once all this is over we'll go buy flowers together~!

[ He kicks at the rubble and watches her bow, amazed that she's able to be concerned with politeness at a time like this. ]

I don't think anybody's exactly fine right now. You got a weapon on you?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
That sounds...really nice. I look forward to it. I put my hair up for things when we had prom. It was pretty.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[She clasped her hands and glanced nervously around] I don't have a weapon...I was just sort of hoping to run.

[identity profile] appleknighted.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
Inside? Oh, right! Yeah, let's... um...

[And down the stairs into relative safety she'll go.]

I think my arm is fine? It wasn't very deep!

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
[She turns to redo the locks, taking comfort in returning to the easy routine of fretting over Sora]

It doesn't look fine. It's still bleeding Sora.

[identity profile] appleknighted.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
It is? [She cranes her head around to try and see in injury again.] But that was from hours ago... it should have stopped by now, right?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Koharu frowns and inspects it] It looks like it...here take a seat. [She wanders off to find a first aid kit]

[identity profile] motherofjegus.livejournal.com 2011-11-29 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[she lowers her voice] We will be at a disadvantage during close quarters combat so we need to remain at a safe distance. It's best if we are in a position where they are visible to us but we are not visible to them. They will be searching for fresh meat so we must make them believe there is meat in another direction. That's where the rock comes in, we throw it to the side, they hear it land and chase after the noise, then we run in the opposite direction.

[ He walks a little closer to hand her, hilt first, a slightly sooty kitchen knife. How some of the cutlery managed to survive, Firo had no idea and he really didn't care. ]

I don't know how helpful this'll be, but you gotta keep at least somethin' with you. Just in case.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-11-30 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Don't be sorry dear.

[identity profile] appleknighted.livejournal.com 2011-11-30 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like it...?

[Like what? Like it whaaat? But she'll flop down to sit on something, a box maybe, whatever is near enough to the stairs, and wait.]

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-12-01 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
..O-Okay. [She clasps the rock to her chest] Should I--where should we go then?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-12-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh--you don't have to. It must have been something you found on your own. You should keep it.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-12-01 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still sorry. I can't help it.
