✖ anxiety attack: 005 ✖

[A. 339 Brady Lane]

[The sound of shattering glass is loud in the kitchen, the milk bottle having slipped out of Mika's hands. Sweat forms on her brow, her pupils dilating, and the trembling starts just as she begins to scream.

The walls have gone moldy and stained, the glass fogged with filth and grime, and the milk and glass on the floor is now blood and flesh. Disembodied sounds echoing through a haunted apartment that seems to watch her. Shadows flutter at the corner of her vision, grasping hands reaching for her to drag her down and tear her apart. Something was moving, its heavy footfalls made the floorboards creak in the floor above her and its loud, wet breathing makes it sound as if it was coming for her.

The whole building--no, the town itself--knew where she was.

It was coming for her. This time it was going to kill her for good. Her screams were muffled by the heavy air, but she doesn't care, she needs to escape it somehow even if she has to fight her way out.

LEAVE ME ALONE!

[B. Phone]

[She's sobbing uncontrollably as she grips the phone so hard the receiver is creaking, she's desperate to talk to someone even if all she can hear is static. She should have known better but she's going to leave a message anyway.]

Oh God, somebody please pick up! This apartment is full of hauntings and I can't find anybody. It's just them! They're everywhere! They can hear me breathe and they know where I am, I tried to find the others but I don't have any red tape and there's blood all over the place and I don't know where to go.

Somebody, please!

[Welcome to the crazy, Mayfield. Someone got the Special Milk.]

[C. Streets: Afternoon]

[Mika has escaped the confines of the house, a roll of duct tape in one hand and a lead pipe in the other. She's shaking like a leaf, but her grip on the pipe is white-knuckled and possibly deadly if provoked.]

[D. Park: Evening]

[Curled up beneath a tree with her knees hugged to her chest, Mika is rocking gently as she cries into her knees. Her arms are scraped up and her knees are bleeding, and there's leaves and grass in her hair and clothes. It's been a very long day and the effect of the milk is starting to wear off, but not enough for her to feel safe. Someone come rescue her?]

[It is surprisingly effective, quieting her whimpers and slowing how hard she's crying to a small sniffle. If he continues it might make her tail start wagging.]

[ If her tail does start wagging, he'll allow himself a small smile. He's glad something worked, anyway. He doesn't like seeing her like that. ]

You're going to be okay, Mika.

Hauuuu...

[She relaxes against him, her trembling almost completely gone as her tail begins to wag properly.]
wavewalker: (and that's how Anwell does his hair!)

[ He chuckles a little ]

We really have to stop meeting like this.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah, 'm sorry.

[She sniffs, rubbing at her eyes.]

I don't...I don't know what's wrong with me.
wavewalker: (where Tragedy goes)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Mayfield is what's wrong.
wavewalker: (so why IS the rum gone?)

[ He pulls away a little, brushing some hair away from her face ]

It seems to be wearing off a little?

[Her eyes squeeze shut for a moment as she tips her head up into his hand. It seems instinctive.]

I don't know, I'm not sure.

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
At the very least, I'm glad you've calmed down. [ he gives a rueful smile ] I don't like seeing you like that.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm just glad I'm not bleeding anymore...
wavewalker: (where Tragedy goes)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
If anything like that happens again, please call me.
wavewalker: (and that's how Anwell does his hair!)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps we should get out of the middle of the street, hm?

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
A-auuu...um. Yeah, yeah I guess you're right.
wavewalker: (where Tragedy goes)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Where to? I doubt you'd want to go home, all things considered.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, nowhere feels safe right now.

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
The...park?

[She hadn't even thought of that.]
wavewalker: (where Tragedy goes)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
Does that sound good?
wavewalker: (swashbuckler)

[personal profile] wavewalker 2011-08-20 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
Let's go, then.

[ He keeps an arm around her shoulder to guide her there. He does keep his sword arm free, though. You know, just in case. ]

[identity profile] notlikethemovie.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Okay...

[She pulls away only to stoop and collect her pipe and tape, hugging them close like a kind of security blanket. Even terrified as she is, her steps are almost silent.]
