[December 10th, Around the tower]

[Not one to let a little sniffle keep her down, Kazumi is still out and about at this point, around the dorms, the lounge, the cafeteria and some of the safer floors, such as the meadow. Whenever she starts moving though she has to take it slowly and sometimes she stops, holding her head. Going up or down the stairs, she keeps her eyes firmly glued to the wall, one hand trialing along as she walks. Pester?]

[December 11th, Room 02-03]

[Sniffling a bit more, that isn't the real reason Kazumi's holed up in her room. She looks pretty miserable curled up in the corner with the blankets wrapped around her. Sometimes though, she jumps up and looks around, then immediately groans and regrets the quick movement.]

Ugh....

[December 12th, Dorm Area]

[There's a yell, then Kazumi comes bursting out of her room, stumbling down the hall carrying the blanket still wrapped around her. With her free arm, she's waving it about swatting at the air, though there's nothing there.]

Get away! Oogh... no...

[She looks sick and dizzy and miserable and keeps stumbling into the walls but every time she looks around she forces herself back up and keeps running away. This is probably not very safe around stairs.]

Comments

[Kazumi at least calms down a bit when she hears Saki's voice and sees the familiar face. Clinging tightly to the other girl, she gasps and buries her face against her] Make them go away!

[eternallily]

[Saki looks around, squinting into the distance. She's got enough experience fighting to know when there are monsters hiding in the shadows most of the time, but she can't sense anything.]

Where are they? What direction?

[starofpleiades]

[Kazumi just sobs and buries herself more tightly against Saki, like she's trying to use the other girl to cover and block herself from some kind of storm]

Everywhere! They're all... uurgh, my head...

[Yeah, today? Today is hallucination day]

[eternallily]

[Saki hugs Kazumi closer, petting her hair and rubbing her back.]

It's going to be okay. I'm not going anywhere, and I'm going to keep you safe. No matter what happens. That's a promise.

Okay?

[starofpleiades]

Mm. Yeah. I'm sorry I didn't stay in bed. [Since Saki totally saw her the day before when there was 95% less hallucinations and the general consensus was that major vertigo = you should stay in bed]

[eternallily]

You don't need to apologize for that. You were scared and you didn't think you were safe, right? If you were going to look for someone to help keep you safe, that's okay...

[starofpleiades]

I... I don't know what I was looking for. [She grips Saki more tightly, eyes squeezed shut.] I'm glad you're here, Saki.

[eternallily]

It doesn't matter now.

[There's a moment's glow, a shift in Saki's magic - while she knows that in theory, she doesn't need to worry about her Soul Gem, in practice, she doesn't want to risk it. When the glow fades, she's back to her usual appearance.]

You're not ever going to be alone here, no matter what. I'll be here.

[starofpleiades]

Mm, thanks. I... let's go back to my room. [Luckily Saki found her soon, so it's just down the hall]
