One Shackle (backdated to Tuesday)

[godlyreigns]

I - [action for 769 Bunker]

[Rider was instantly on edge. Feeling no connection to Sakura, and waking up next to a strange man probably did the trick. So the instant she regains full consciousness, she springs out of bed.]

[a) Jonathan - your new notwaifu has acquired a kitchen cleaver and is pointing it at you.] Answers. Now. What have you done with me? Where is my Master?

[b) Sealand - your notmom is padding around the house, wearily. When she sees you, wherever you are, she stops and looks quizzical.] Are you the one they think is my son?

II - [phone - morning]

[Rider's voice is calm, but has an edge of intense worry and anxiety.] Is someone named Sakura Matou in this town? I must find her, immediately.

III - [florists - the next afternoon]

[She'd gotten a call the previous day, asking why she hadn't come in for work at the flower shop. So, dutifully, she'd went there. However, she looks ridiculously uncertain. Her steps have a certain tentative air to them, and she looks like she's not even sure she's in the right building.]

Ah...hello? Does anyone work here...?

[If you happen to be going there for whatever reason, feel free to bump into the confused lady who knows nothing about her job :<]

Comments

Nope, not really! /just slow

Green as in...good with plants? Or literally green?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Both actually.

[Rider is silent for a moment, before announcing to herself that she has certainly seen weirder.

She then goes behind the counter and starts delicately poking at the flowers.]

Um, well. Is there anything I could help you with...? I don't really know my way around this shop, but I do need to learn.

[Ruri puts $5 on the counter]

There should be some bulbs in the back with my name on it. I've been bored so I'm seeing how well they grow here.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider takes the bill in her hand, looks at it curiously for a second, and then just sets it by the cash register.]

Alright. Your name is Ruri, you said?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Ruri Hoshino. Yes.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider gives a small nod and heads into the back room. For a span of about ten minutes, there is silence. And then comes abrupt smashing and splashing sounds. Rider scurries out, a bit flushed in the face--and her entire left sleeve drenched in water.

Ruri's bulbs are in her arms and unharmed, though.]

S-Sorry about that.

Its all right. Do you want me to watch the counter while you dry off?
