EVENT: 75% Droning

A. 5270 Cunninghame Lane

[Koharu is hanging up a dozen American flags over her front porch. Where did she get these flags? Where did she get the streamer she is pinning up between them? We shall blame the drones and move on. She can't reach this one spot and she turns, looking for anyone to help with that pretty drone smile of hers.

She is not even afraid of boys guys. Perfect Mayfield Koharu was never abused]

Oh could you help me, I just can't reach that high.

B. Heading to the fireworks

[ She's changed into a pretty sailor dress for the occasion and is carrying a bag full of blueberry muffins. She looks so happy--

Except she catches the eyes of a boy and looks nervous for a moment--

but she can't really remember why she should be nervous. Everything is perfect in Mayfield.]

Oh those look sweet dea-




....wh-why are we putting up so many of th-those flags...

[...it should have yellow....]

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[Oh you're so silly Mother]

It's the Fourth, Mother. We should have as many flags as we can. [giggle] Remember last year when the people down the road put up two dozen--[pause, wait something is wrong here...]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

....You weren't here last year .....

[They had a barbe..NO. She had been blinded for helping the rebel group blow up a beet factory in Maipole.]

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I wasn't, was I---Of course I was Mother, I live here. We live here. [giggle] I didn't think my own Mother would deny me living here--Oh you must be thinking of the year before when I went to the Jones' for most of the summer right?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

.....you were in Japan.

In that horrible school you tell me about.

With Sora.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[She suddenly looks very afraid] I-I--what.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

[She remembers a picnic when Koharu was just a little girl and she was so cute and-



That wasn't real. She wasn't this girls mother.]

.....You remember Sora don't you? She's the one going to save all of you. She's your knight.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Sora's my best friend of course I remember her. She and I used to play knight and princess and--

No, she is my knight and I love her--No wait that's silly, girls can't love girls like that...

[So confused]

A - Lyon's at 75%

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

[Lyon's skipping along the sidewalk all excited for her big 4th of July date, but she's never too busy to help a friend.]

Oh, Koharu! Here, let me help you out.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

......yes they can.

You told me you love her, remember?

And how worried she was when you were droned. And I was worried too. ...and you were sad because you didn't want me to worry about you?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I--yeah. I...remember. [But she also remembers playing in the park as a child and making her birthday cakes with Ukraine]

And I was hurt...back in Japan. And Sora--no wait, I've lived here all my life! I have, I remember it.

kk

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Oh thank you Lyon! [She hands her an end of the streamer and gets ready to tack it up] Do you have any plans for tonight?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Actually, I have a date with the Prince!

[There's a short pause, and she blinks for a moment.]

Ah, I mean - with Frey.

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

....those aren't real memories Koharu.


What do you remember about Japan?

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

Oh a date? Hee, I'm glad for you. No one has asked me yet.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Is there anyone you like right now, Koharu? Maybe you could see if you can go to the fireworks together. Just as friends this time, but if things go well, you could try to get together again afterward.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I remember...Kajiwara--no he was here too but moved away--or--no--U-Um...making bento. Cooking for Sora. A rifle--

Mother, all these memories are just silly, no one can pull a rifle from my chest.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I don't know, not really. [It's like she doesn't get to know guys right] Maybe I'll just go with Sora and we can have fun. Mother found this cute dress for me, maybe I can find someone there?

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

[And it's so hard because doesn't she remember helping Koharu on her first day of school. Making her lunch everyday... No, they weren't real.

They were good memories, but they weren't real. Her family was Russian ...no Her family was Russia and Belarus. They didn't have parents, they only had her.]

......No. The town is playing with us. You are from Japan and I am Ukraine.

[She can't even remember her own language though...]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

It's as good a chance as any! Everybody's going to be in a good mood because of the holiday.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

R-Right...I'm from Japan--

Why would I want to be Japan..I'm so much happier here.

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

I'll find someone right? Someone to be my knight like in those stories.

[She steps back and admires their work, hands clasped tightly]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Right! If I've found my Prince, you'll definitely find your knight.

[Lyon smiles, patting her friend's shoulder in encouragement.]

[motheringnation.livejournal.com]

......

[And you are being hugged.]

Because it doesn't matter what we want. It's the truth and no amount of brain washing can change that.

.....I really wish you had a happier past. ...I'm sorry...

[willbeurweapon.livejournal.com]

[She clings and hugs tightly] I'm...I just want to be your daughter. And we can make my birthday cake in a few days and we can be happy, so happy here.
