12 / / Action

A. Action; Cunningham Lane

[Her regain arrives a little late, wrapped in the usual box and she is quite confused to see it at first...She picks it up, rattles it, and then looks inside. Her gaze meets her own chest, framed within the borders of the polaroid and on it is her ownership symbol, the two overlapping Vs. She picks up the picture, confused by the intangible regain for a moment before she remembers Lithuania's scars. The soft burning on her chest makes her hiss and she presses a hand to where it must now be.]

It's back? That's what I gained back from the town?

[Unfortunately she is going to unbutton her shirt right there, just down to her cleavage to examine the mark that now rests on her chest]

There'd be no hiding that in a swimsuit would there . . .

B. Action; Shops

[The 50's dresses she has in her closet tend to do quite a lot to cover the mark on her chest, not that she'd care either way. It's her precious proof of ownership and she is glad to have it back. It's the proof that Sora owns her now and she thinks that's the best thing in the world. However, she has managed to find the one dress in that closet, cut a little too low for most sensibilities, but still a fashionable summer dress. She has a basket in hand and is going up and down the street in front of the shops more for something to do than to really buy anything]

C. Action; Diner

[The diner is not somewhere she usually goes, but she peeks her head in out of curiousity more than anything else. There is only so much one can do to pass time and the pool was no longer an option. She took a hesitant step in and looked around more boldly]

[Poking her head in the room.]

Are you alright?

[She hasn't seen the mark yet.]

A - assuming this takes place outside?

[Lyon is walking along when she notices Koharu standing there outside her house. She's about to give a friendly wave of greeting when she starts unbuttoning her shirt right there on the sidewalk.]

K-Koharu?! What are you doing?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[For my sanity, let us assume it took place outside and Koharu has just walked inside the front hall]

I'm fine Ukraine, I just regained something, that's all.

[Sounds good, Ukraine is in the living room, looking into the hallway.]

Oh, that's nice. Something nice I hope.

[Koharu glances up and smiles]

I'm just looking at my mark! Oh--I should have waited huh?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
My mark...[See! She will show it off now]

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
.....a tattoo?

[A little odd...]

[identity profile] float-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Blushing a little, mostly out of the embarrassment she thinks Koharu should be feeling at this point.]

Ah... it might be a good idea to wait until you're inside, yes.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
No it's my mark of ownership. It shows I belong to Sora.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry! I just--the regain was so sudden. I didn't think of it.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[There is a pause.



A long pause. And the smile is gone from Ukraine's face.]


Koharu.

Dear. You are not a possession. People, can't own you.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I--the game--the one where men owned girls...[She stumbles to explain why the mark means so much to her but she knows Ukraine is right. She isn't property--except she's been treated as such for a very long time] Sora had her own mark of ownership for her girls. With this mark I was safe from them, I was hers. No man could hurt me without risking pain...

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
That game is wrong. It's in violation of so many human rights I wouldn't know where to start.

You do not belong to anyone. Not a man, not a woman, not Sora. You are your own person here and if anyone says otherwise, I will make that point clear to them myself.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
I--I know...I just--I know I'm my own person...[She covers her mark with a hand] It was a hope for me when it felt like nothing would change. It was proof that no man could touch me. It's important.

[identity profile] float-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
What is it, anyway? It looks like a Rune.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's the mark of--it's from a game at home...

[identity profile] float-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
So it's more like a tattoo, then...

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause as Ukraine listens to her and thinks over what the girl is saying.]

It is a symbol of hope.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
In a way...When we belonged to Sora, we were fighting for her cause. Fighting to win the game and end it for all the girls...

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
S-Sort of.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Couldn't you fight for her cause without belonging to her?

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I--no. We couldn't...We--the weapons we possessed in the game, the rifle I've gotten back here, they would only appear for the person who owned us. She could only fight if she owned girls. We could only help her cause, be part of the hope, if we were hers.

[identity profile] motheringnation.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.


.....Well that may be the case. But the game is not here.

[identity profile] willbeurweapon.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. [She isn't sure what else to say]

[identity profile] float-like-a.livejournal.com 2011-07-31 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. It must be a pretty personal thing, right?
