[retrogrades]

There's no... point in... any of this!

[Chihiro starts tearing pages out of her beloved diary, scattering them across her room. To be honest though, the room itself isn't in great shape--what should be a nice, neat, impossibly orderly room is now a terrible mess.

She stops suddenly though, as if realizing what she's doing.]

W-What am I doing?! I have to... put them back... right?

[Her hands are trembling as she struggles to collect the scattered pages, as if fighting something off, but in the end she can't help it, and she throws them all across the room again. Crying now, she heads for her door and runs.]

Why am I alone?!

[ooc: Chihiro is heading out of Marshall and towards Latimir! Feel free to run into here. \o/ Also, because I forgot last time--Chihiro now has a CR page! Go ahead and comment if you've talked to her before. Or, if you're already on the list, want me to change the icon... or something. Yeah.]

[Whoa, suddenly she is nearly run over. She steps back quickly, alarmed. But then...]

Chihiro?

Who are you?

[She frowns at her expression. Something is wrong here.]

I'm Oruha. Maybe you don't remember. We spoke before when I first arrived.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Of course I don't remember--I can't remember.



I-I mean, um... I'm sorry, I don't recall who you are.

[She looks a bit sad for a moment but then she smiles.]

It's all right. It was only once. I'm sorry if I'm bothering you. [She steps away, either ready to leave or to let Chihiro hurry on her way. Whichever happens first.]

[Coincidentally, Cynthia was just leaving the building with her Togekiss by her side, when she stumbles upon that familiar little face.]

Chihiro? What's wrong...?

[action]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Nothing! There's nothing wrong! There's... nothing wrong...

[action]

[battledancing]

But you don't look all right... Were you running from someone?

[action]

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

No, I... I think I'm--I don't know.

[action]

[battledancing]

[Just as obvious as the fact that asking any more questions would only further upset her, so instead, Cynthia kneels down and rests a hand on Chihiro's shoulder.]

It's all right. I'm here for you, okay?

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

... Chihiro?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

What?

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

Why did you say that you're alone?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Because I am. I'm always alone. It's almost funny how much I've tried to change that, but in the end, I'm alone.

[baka-jyanai.livejournal.com]

W-wait! I can go to you right now! You won't be alone then, right?

[pursuestruth.livejournal.com]

Are you all right? You're not alone.

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I'm alri-- No, I'm not alright, but I'm sure I never will be. I'm afraid you're wrong though, mister, I'm very, very much alone.

[pursuestruth.livejournal.com]

Why do you say that?

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Because it's true, of course.

[pursuestruth.livejournal.com]

And what makes you say that's true? There are people here who are willing to help you; you're not alone here.

AAAAND I am fashionably late, forgive me

_{[ Somewhere near Marshall, Taiwan sees Chihiro out in the open. She struggles to move toward her willingly and at least grab her hand. ]}

Chihiro! Where are you going? It's dangerous out--!

it's all good \o/

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know! I need to... I need to find someone.

_{[ she retracts her hand and looks at Chihiro curiously ]} ... You feel it too?

[bubbleteatime.livejournal.com]

_{[ faces the direction where Chihiro's headed ]} It's like someone's calling me from Latmir. _{[ And slowly, she puts one foot in front of the other, shoving Chihiro aside and walking towards their goal ]}

[allephoria.livejournal.com]

Is that where it's coming from...?
