Please! It's an earthquake, just stay down...!!

[She half-scrambles, half-rolls off her and wraps her arms about her head.]

[ she sort of flails a bit, trying to get into a slightly less uncomfortable position, and in doing so would have smacked wednesday in the arm—

...except her hand ghosts right through? which is odd, since you're definitely sitting on Shrike. ]
wonderlandgirl: (✽ i did something bad)

--Shrike-san...?

[Even in her current state as a repository of earthquake safety advice first and a human being very definitely second, some tings are still filtering through, and someone's arm ghosting right through you when you're still most of the way on top of them is one of them]

Are you okay?

[She tries to touch her on the shoulder.]

[ she can put her hand on shrike's shoulder—she feels solid.

Ah... sorry, I forgot, it's really nothing to worry about...
wonderlandgirl: (✽ flashbacks and memories)

It's what?

B-but... your arm just...

[Shrike-san are you a ghost

[there is no polite way to ask that]

...I can't hurt anyone.
wonderlandgirl: (✽ and i still don't understand)

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT

[personal profile] wonderlandgirl 2020-08-07 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
What?

What if you're in danger?

[The ground's stopped shaking! This is good. She can unfold a little and maybe think about things that aren't earthquakes again.]

The wars are over, so there's no need for that sort of thing, especially with a simple life...
wonderlandgirl: (✽ oh no - a cat stuck up a tree)

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT

[personal profile] wonderlandgirl 2020-08-07 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
But what if someone tries to hurt you?

Do they turn into a ghost? Shrike-san?

No, it's really just—it's really just me.

I can handle it, and... I don't get that many visitors, anyway—and none of them would hurt me.

Re: ANNOUNCEMENT

[personal profile] wonderlandgirl 2020-08-07 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
But...

Shrike-san, I was an ordinary idol, and my home was peaceful, too... and I never thought anyone would ever try to hurt me, but it happened anyway. You really can't even defend yourself?

That's not true.

[She puts her arms around Shrike's shoulders, awkwardly.]

It's not.
