No one is alone

Who: Kariya Matou, Lancer, Rin Tohsaka, residents of 1666 Nelson Street, and all of Rin's friends.
What: A party to prove to Rin that she has friends.
Where: 1666 Nelson Street.
When: Saturday afternoon.
Warnings: Possible tsunsplosion. Action tags to keep things going.

With the help of Lancer, Kariya had managed to get in touch with all of Rin's friends, acquaintances, and anyone else who views her in the slightest favorable light.  The party had been thrown together somewhat at the last minute, but since it's really just a gathering of friends, there actually wasn't that much specific planning to do.  There's plenty of food and drink - both alcoholic and non - set up in the kitchen and dining room area, and a separate table for anyone bringing presents to set them down.  Apart from that, he's just sitting there with the assembled group of Rin's friends, waiting for her to arrive.

...from where? There's plenty on the table over there.
enpatsushakugannouchite: (scowly)

I meant from over there. Really I just wanted to see you smile a bit more.

[Marisa sighed.]

Shana... Patchy's dead. I don't want to smile.
enpatsushakugannouchite: (weepy)

[ Shana looks at her, very sadly. She very clearly doesn't know what to say. </small.]

[...]

Don't pity me.

[ Shana's face hardens, not with anger, but with a sort of mixture of embarrassment and regret. ] I'm not. I just don't know what to say.
adropofjupiter: (freeze-dried romance)

You don't have to say anything. Just don't look at me like that.
enpatsushakugannouchite: (Why?)

[personal profile] enpatsushakugannouchite 2012-09-24 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shana looks away. ]

I... [ Her hands clench. Shana is the worst at emotions or understanding, or even empathy, sometimes. She's run into a problem she can't just slash to death or burn away. She knows Marisa is hurting, and she wants to help her but she doesn't know how. Her body tenses, back still to Marisa. ]

adropofjupiter: (five hour phone conversation)

[personal profile] adropofjupiter 2012-09-24 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a slight hardness to Marisa's voice when she speaks.]

You're what? Sorry? Don't bother. It's not your fault. This place fucks us all over eventually.
enpatsushakugannouchite: (Default)

[personal profile] enpatsushakugannouchite 2012-09-24 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shana's voice calms a bit, though she's still obviously tensed. ]

No, I just wanted to be there for you like you were there for me when I hurt. I'm... bad at this. Mou! All I know how to do is be a Flame Haze. [ She is the worst at being human. ]

It's okay. Not like anything matters anymore.

[And there's no one left to give Marisa what she actually needs. Not while the witch still blames Reimu and Arc is too emotionally retarded to see it.]
enpatsushakugannouchite: (hugsbandage)

[personal profile] enpatsushakugannouchite 2012-09-26 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shana edges closer to Marisa, unwilling or unable to talk but instinctually just wanting to be close to her friend. </small.]

[There's a long pause before Marisa speaks up again.]

You know, Rin's gonna be pissed when she sees us all here.
enpatsushakugannouchite: (scowly)

[personal profile] enpatsushakugannouchite 2012-09-27 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
You're right. Should we go see her?
adropofjupiter: (freeze-dried romance)

[personal profile] adropofjupiter 2012-09-27 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno. I figure I'll stay here until she tells me to get lost.
