[The morning immediately after her horrifying experience with the Coral Cannibal, Kay wakes up in her own bed with a start.  Her heart racing, she flails about in a panic, knocking the phone off the receiver.  The whole of Mayfield is treated to the very loud and utterly terrified scream of a young 17 year old thief.]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[There is the sound of heavy, panicked breathing along with the rustling of bedsheets as Kay tries to make sense of her surroundings while trying to remember just what happened the previous night.  She's talking to herself, barely aware that she's narrating her own thoughts out loud.]

"W-what was that...?  Sharp pain... and... then.  Just darkness.  And blood... blood everywhere..."

[Huddles underneath her sheets, pulling them tightly around her so that nothing but her face is showing.  She's like a small child convinced of the magic power of her blanket, as if it will somehow protect her against the monsters that lurk in the shadows just out of sight.  And she just stays like that, rocking back and forth and quietly murmuring to herself, still totally unaware that the phone is off the hook.]

So... that's what it's like to die...

[Kay died?! Ema is now extremely concerned.]

C-calm down. You're safe and alive again at least, right? That's something.

"Yeah... I'm safe now. Just still kinda freaked out."

[Nervous laugh.]

I can imagine, if I heard you correctly. You died last night...

[Wait, there's something extremely off here.]

How are you still alive, then?

Death isn't permanent here. You just wake up in your bed the next morning, safe and sound.

I had no idea... [Well, that explains a lot of things.]

Even so, I can imagine it's not a pleasant experience. You sure you're okay?

...Yeah, it's pretty terrifying. I'm okay, though. Not a scratch on me.

That's good. I know we don't actually know each other that well, but I'd hate to see you hurt.

Thanks. It means a lot to me, really.

You're welcome. If you need anything--now or whenever--just let me know. I'm at 1492 Kramden.

I think I'll probably be okay now. I'm going to stay at my boyfriend's family's house for a few days until it's safe to come back here.

That's a good idea.

And who, might I ask, is this boyfriend of yours? [Curiosity killed the cat, as they say.]

Oh, his name's Takeshi. He lives just down the street from me.

[Awwwwwww.]

That's nice! It's always good to have a nice social support system in place. And well... romance happens, too.

Yeah. I figure life doesn't have to stop while we're here. I can try to figure out a way out and have a love life in the meantime.

Right. Nothing wrong with a little normalcy amongst the madness. [Ema can't disapprove of that kind of positive attitude, at least not from a teenage girl.]

Just make sure you don't forget that investigating this place comes first, okay?

Date: 2010-05-27 09:39 pm (UTC)

Just making sure.

Take care of yourself, okay? I'd hate to learn that you've died again.

Date: 2010-05-27 10:42 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
Yeah, I'm going to be more careful from now on. I thought I was being pretty careful already, but I guess I can't even call my own house safe anymore.

Date: 2010-05-29 04:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] glowing-science.livejournal.com
Yeah. That's not a comforting thought...

What attacked you, if it's not too traumatic to talk about?

Date: 2010-05-29 06:41 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com
I have no idea. It got me from behind. All I felt was a row of sharp teeth sinking into my neck...

[Ema shudders.]

That's terrible. I'll be watching my back, then.

Yeah, good idea.
