[ morning, afternoon, evening, it doesn't matter when or where. you could be in the library or the computer lab or even in your own cell if the door was open. only the hint of giggling and the sudden prickly sensation on the back of your neck would alert you to the fact that you're not alone and more importantly something is definitely crawling on you--

choose to slap the cockroach or the new prisoner girl who put it there, it's up to you! it's good entertainment for her either way. ]

...you're finally here, Koishi.

[whaddya mean, this isn't normal? Satori might have been sitting down to read when she heard the giggling.]

[closeminded]

Sorry for the wait, sis! Hospital visit. [ but she leans in to wrap her arms around Satori's shoulders, rests her chin on sis' shoulder. of course Satori wouldn't be bothered by animals, even bugs. ]

[openedeyes]

The police didn't hurt you, did they?

[it's an honest question. as for the cockroach, well...had anyone else put it there? there would be a less pleasant reaction from her. but Koishi didn't know any better. so Satori simply let the cockroach crawl down her arm onto the table.]

[closeminded]

[ that's the way to think of it, maybe the roach hadn't been placed maliciously at all. maybe it had just happened to fall on Satori's neck, and everyone else's.

Koishi tries to think back. ]

... Can't remember.

[openedeyes]

[...it's possible she truly doesn't remember. why was she in the hospital? it's...possible that she had one of her. episodes. Satori sighs.]

... Alright. Sit down, Koishi. Don't try that trick with anyone else here, understand?

[closeminded]

[ episodes of actual lucidity would be rarer than her usual state. but she sits down onto the armrest of Satori's chair, threatening to tip it. ]

Aw, why? It's fun to watch them scream.

[openedeyes]

[she had meant 'sit in the chair next to me'. of course Koishi missed that. like always. it's almost like they're back home.]

Do you remember where you are? This is important.

[closeminded]

Where I am...

[ shielding her eyes as she glances around, even if they're indoors and there's no sun. location, location~ ]

... Does it matter, as long as you're here too?

[openedeyes]

This time? Yes. Yes, it is. Do you remember the trial? When we had to be separated for a while.

[Satori actually sounds a little...less composed than usual.]

[closeminded]

[ she stares hard at Satori, but almost seems to be looking through her. her eyes were almost never focused, anyway. ]

If something like that happened, it wouldn't be worth remembering anyway.

[openedeyes]

Koishi. This is very important. I won't be angry if you honestly don't remember but I don't like it when you purposefully forget.

[she stares right back.]

[closeminded]

I don't do it on purpose!... Most of the time! [ while still trying to hold staring contest with sis, jiii. ]

[whiteas]

[ Honestly? Weiss is going for both. The cockroach first, which merits a scream, then quickly followed by her turning around in fury. ]

What is your problem!?

[closeminded]

[ leeaning back but not quite withdrawing completely as she catches the insect as it's swatted from Weiss' neck. gosh. ]

Eh? I have a problem?

What's your problem with Mr. Cockroach?

[whiteas]

He's filthy for one thing!

[closeminded]

I'm sure he isn't any filthier than any other insect on campus!

[whiteas]

I don't want any filthy insects on me!

[closeminded]

What if I gave it a bath?

[whiteas]

Wouldn't it drown in a bath?

[ She still doesn't really want it near her but she can't even use her filthy excuse if it's actually clean. ]

[tanteiotaku]

[He was working thank you very much. When he feels the creepy crawly on his neck he jumps up to swat it off of him, hollering like a crazy man.] I think it's in my shirt! [No it's not, it tumbled off of him several seconds ago.]

[closeminded]

[ aaand was quickly caught in Koishi's cupped palms as she swoops to rescue the falling critter. safe~ ]

No, it's not.

... But that can be arranged!

[tanteiotaku]

No! Don't arrange that. [He still feels super gross.] Why would you do that?!

[closeminded]

... Because it'd be funny?

[tanteiotaku]

I'll show you funny, you brat kid!

[closeminded]

Like your face right now? [ NICE EXPRESSION BRO she can't resist reaching out to pat his cheeks with both her hands. ]
