The Legend of Laurinda [Open/Closed]
Who: Ayu Maruyama (Miu Matsuoka) and open; Ayu and Natsume Maruyama (Nakigitsune)
Where: A local video game store; Ayu's house
Summary: It's time to treat herself, so Ayu heads to her favorite place to forget about the app; later, she and her brother tiptoe around discussing the same app while playing an old video game
Warnings: N/A
[Game On; Open]
[It’s been a rough...what, week and a half now? She’s just a kid, it’s not like she’s keeping track of the days or anything. That strange app she can’t show mom. She hasn’t even showed Natsu. Part of her feels like she’d be in big trouble if they found out she’s be talking to strangers with the cavalier attitude she’s been employing, like some sort of internet troll. Part of her is just...worried. And it’s not fair, Ayu thinks, it’s not fair to be worried about something so intense when she hasn’t done anything wrong.
As a result, Ayu decides that Wednesday is the perfect day to treat herself. She can forget all that stuff about Miu Matsuoka, people stealing vegetables, real and fake Baalberiths, and creepy chatrooms. She wanders into the local video game store (GameShop?) and starts looking for a cheap game to enjoy. Of course, she gets distracted several times along the way. Anyone looking to buy video games (or maybe comics or other nerd items, come on) might notice Ayu putting the display figurines in questionable poses.]
They’ve decided to embrace a life of sin and divorce.
[That’s what she’ll say if she gets caught. She’ll also flip through the latest comics and peruse the DVDs before finally settling on an old game from the portable game section and rushing home with some sodas.]
[The Legend of Laurinda; closed to Natsume/Nakigitsune]
[When he gets home, Ayu has already invaded his room. But that’s okay. He’s not like other teenage boys. There aren’t dirty socks on the floor or dirty magazines in his mattress (she pretended to check once just to get a reaction from him), so she feels pretty safe about invading his personal space. Instead, there’s a giant bowl of potato chips right on the floor like it’s not a great way to attract ants. She’s also busy hooking up an old system to her big brother’s TV, and he enters just in time to hear a familiar chime, a start-up movie movie playing right after.
The Legend of Laurinda: Chain’s Wakening.
She steps back, proud of her handiwork. She might not have the newest system, but the older ones come with all those cool gadgets so you can play handheld games on them.]
Wow, this game’s even older than I am. Hey, what’s that look for? You should be excited! You love Chain. Or you will. Probably.

[At least Ayu is brutally honest, right? She stares down at the phone in her hand, tempted to open the app and see what other people are talking about. Or maybe to show this other kid that her name in the app is 'Beall' and see if they've spoken. She's trolled a lot of people with her responses, but she's become quieter as the app rested on her phone, as it became more threatening and ominous.]
I don't know why it's on mine, either. At first, I thought it was kind of cool, kind of like a secret chatroom where I can't get in trouble. But now I sort of feel like I'm always in trouble. That kind of feel.
no subject
Yeah. No matter what I do, there's something that's watching me. I can't stand it, but what can I do? That's how it's been for me ever since the stupid thing showed up.
Oh, uh. I'm Michi. By the way.
no subject
[Maybe he's heard of her older brother, Natsume? Or the Maruyama family—situated on the same street as Gutermuth and a few other families. But maybe he hasn't. That's perfectly alright.
She maneuvers away from the display and closer to a corner of the store where she doesn't have to worry about being overheard so much. It's a good move on her part—Ayu can be a little loud and she knows it.]
I think we're just supposed to wait. But it's scary, right? Not in an "I'm a little kid" sort of way. It's actually scary.
no subject
I think scary's an understatement at this point.
[As an afterthought, Michi lowers his voice just a bit more.]
I don't want to test the filters beyond what other people have, but... it blocked off my saying that I add happy faces to Mr. Juarez's bald spot. Whatever's behind this app knows everything about us.
no subject
[And she feels a little uneasy just talking about it, like her stomach is slowly twisting into a knot just after bringing it up in public. But. It's the first time she's ever met someone with the app. She can't just ignore it, right?
She taps her foot on the ground, crossing her arms. She's a little anxious, and fueling some of her energy into fidgeting helps a little.]
That's pretty specific. I didn't really get censored that much...I did a lot of lying, so that's probably why. Hey, what do you think is going to happen? Something's going to happen, right? Something good or bad?
