Dec. 28th, 2009 12:54 am[It's late. It's dark, and Anemone's in her room on her bed hugging her pillow.
And, um...
Sobbing. And throwing a rather ridiculous tantrum and screaming over how 'life hates her' and 'worst after-christmas ever' and 'Winter's awful', and how she just wants to crawl in a hole.
Gulliver noses back into view, because he turned it on. Consider this a cry for help from a sleepy, frightened futuristic pig-dog.
Anemone stops screaming for a moment, in time to notice the communicator, and throws her pillow angrily at it.]
STOP PLAYING WITH THAT!
[And collision. The communicator falls, giving a more aerial angle, and showing more of the ceiling. Gulliver's bolted, and hides under the bed. Anemone pauses, peeking over at him... and then just starts crying. And loudly.
Horton, I hope you don't plan on sleeping tonight.]

Date: 2009-12-28 07:27 am (UTC)YOU GET SCREAMING. And she's not even forming words now, she's just screaming for the sake of screaming.]

Date: 2009-12-28 07:52 am (UTC)It was times like these that Chopper remembered why he hated the scientists. He didn't know them, but he hated them. They did these things to him, to his friends, to everyone in Discedo and he was sick of it. Anemone was upset. She was angry. She had every right to react this way. They took her family. They took her sister. It wasn't fair. None of it was ever fair. He felt his eyes well up with tears but he fought them back. Crying never brought them back. Yelling out for them never brought them back. Being sad and angry never did anything. He knew this already. Anemone needed to know. But instead all he could say was:]
I'm sorry!
[He didn't feel that he had the strength to tell her. So he stayed quiet, watching her sadly and trying everything to find the right words to say but never finding them, just like he never really could.]
Anemone, I'm sorry! I'm sorry they took your sister! I'm really sorry!
commentlog! -- I sincerely apologize for the tl;dr
Date: 2009-12-28 08:04 am (UTC)And the last time, Anemone had been able to contain it. She quietly took a breath, reminded herself that it was in that person's best interests, and thought quietly. But Nanako... even though Discedo wasn't the best place for kids, Anemone finally had a sister. She had more family than she ever had at home--which was none, save for Dominic--and now she was missing one.
These scientists were just messing with them. And Anemone couldn't do anything. That was why she cried and screamed, just so she wouldn't have it held inside. The last time, it ate away at her, tore at her spirit and kept her very, very down. She couldn't deal with that right now. She didn't want that to return.
So she released it the only way she could, until Chopper's cries broke through her wall of screams in a long string of apologies, and she just stopped screaming, sniffling softly. It wasn't his fault... why was he apologizing?]
You... you didn't do it, Chopper... I'm sorry...
[Another sniffle, and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, whining softly as she felt the thick pounding of another building headache. But she didn't move just yet, looking at Chopper.]
