Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa cooked like she USUALLY did every night. And even when she didn't, she still cooked something for later. This is one of those nights- she had to impress the wonders of HAIWIAN PIZZA on Aki. America is really weird.

Regardless, she has arrived at Shinobu's door and gives a flurry of knocks. "It's me Shinobu~ I gots food!~" she insists, and then she opens the door politely and lets herself in if she can.

Corvus is not with her today, she is alone!

She looks around and places the tub of food down on the tabletop. It contains an amatuer attempt at Sushi- and also, a slice of pizza with pineapple and ham on it because AMERICA IS STILL WEIRD.

She beams. "I tried to make Sushi!" she beams.

"Um...eat it with a fork because I think it falls apart." she finally admits with a earntwhile tone. ^_^;.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
As Haruna walks in she will likely notice that Shinobu is still in her school uniform, mostly. Her stockings are off and she is doing first aide to herself. A closer look will reveal that her legs have blisters on them from top to bottom. Not just that, They are a few shades of red.

"Oh Thank you Haruna-chan! I was just getting myself squared. I had a rather rough night last night." She smiles a little and continues rubbing burn cream on her legs.

She gives a bit of a smile and nods, "Oh! Sushi sounds absolutely wonderful tonight! I look forward to trying it. Even with a fork." She then turns the attention towards her walls. "My parents dropped by yesterday and decided they needed to put up some art and posters for me seeing as I can see again. It wasn ice of them. I just wish Dinner would have gone smoother."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa looks around, peeks at posters and smiles. "Well, that was nice of them. At least your parents care..." she mutters. Not resentful. Maybe a little sad. Regardless, she falls out of it and smiles, pushing the food over to Shinobu-- then she sees her legs.

"Ohmigosh! What happend!?" she asks with wide eyes. "Are you going to be okay!? What'd you do!? Were you so hungry you tried to cook your legs!? I wasn't that late was I!?" she asks in SUPER SERIOUSNESS.

Corvus would call this 'super silly' if he was here.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura laughs a little and shakes her head, "No, nothing so dramatic. You are fine and I do enjoy your cooking. Actually last night while I was at dinner with my parents and Hino, My vision went wonky and I seen something off across the street. I took Hino with me and we found a grief seed. Right as we went to grab it, it took root and hatched.

She sighs and rubs more ointment on her leg. "All sorts of fun in this one. flying loaves of bread, attacking knives, a fire breathing oven. It was a little overwhelming." The witch was something else. She looked like an iced cake. She launched sticky batter at us. I charged in to attack, found out the floor was lava. Molten, chocolate lava." She sighs and shakes her head. Idly she pulls out a grief seed. "No more cake witch. Hino is turned off of cake for the time being. Personally I don't wanna see chocolate for a few days. Anyway when the labyrinth faded Hino and I were left standing there with my parents watching. They couldn't tell it was me thanks to some flour. Mom wanted to yell at me and dad I think wants to rob Hino blind."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa raises a brow. "Are you sure it was the flour? Most of us, when we transform--- we're un recognizeable and-- some of us just call each other by our 'IDs' by instinct. Like you never hear Corvus call me 'Haruna' when I'm Cure Gull, it's always Gull!" She beams.

"So that could had been that, too. But it also could had been the flour. Just don't go transforming in front of anybody. That's hard to get outta someone's head." she giggles.

She does sigh and frown. "Sorry...I wish I had healing powers but I don't..." she mutters.

"You'll be fine though, just relax..."

"Oh--that boy?" she head tilts.

"Ugh. I was afraid Hannah's parents were gonna eat me but really they just kinda consider me daughter-lite." she giggles with a blush.

"I don't really have good experiences with my parents.. you know?"

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura smiles a little, "I know how it is to not have good experiences with your parents. My dad blinded me." She shrugs and gestures for Haruna to have a seet.

"The thing to remember is, your parents are just people too. They aren't perfect and they goof up too. So you gotta know when to just brush off those rough experiences. It isn't easy though." She smiles a little.

"I think after this stuff gets into my skin I am going to take a bath then and see if this helps. I wish I could talk to Homura-chan. She knows how to focus her magic to heal. I could really use that knowledge. At least my legs look better then they did last night."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa seems to grow VERY dour when Shinobu mentions her dad blinded her. "How... why!?" she asks. She seems preoccupied with this, almost as if she's taking it personally. She seems grumpy over it.

She head tilts and frown. "It's not like I haven't tried... they just don't care..." she mutters to herself.

She sighs and takes a deep breath.

She frowns. "Do you need any help then with that? Or can you walk just fine...?"

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura frowns, "Well my dad is a thief. Pure and simple. I can't exact go to the police because he's family. My mom has gotten him out of trouble more then once."

She carefully starts working on the back of her legs as she speaks. "Anyway, My dad stole something from someone. It was a purple liquid and he had put it in the fridge. I thought it was grape juice. I poured myself a cup and went to see my dad. He playfully tipped my cup when I went to take a drink. The stuff splashed in my eyes. I guess it was a good thing that he did that. Had I drank that it may have killed me. I spat out what got in my mouth. My vision burned out right then and there. Its why I got scars around my eyes."

She thinks a few moments. "Kyubey seems to think that it's because of my potential as a Puella Magi that I wasn't fully blind. I'd like to know what the stuff was but... I guess there is no way to know."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa ohs, so it was an accident of sorts... okay...

She looks down. "My parents are just...traditional and.... I was not.... intrested in traditional relationships. and things got tense... and... I'd just... rather not to go into it---I'm sorry I even brought it up..." Haruna seems sort of blue and upset and some persona that isn't quite her right now.

She shakes her head and sighs and her tone of voice returns mostly to normal. "S'why Aki took me away from them someplace else, in any effect..." she says softly and nods.

She head tilts. "Well. That makes sense. Some people have more... 'potential' than others I'm told but not always? Magic is really weird!" she giggles, a little more lightheartedly.

"So.. burns aside..."

"Are you getting used to things?" she asks.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura reaches out and hugs Haruna tight. "Its okay. You're alright here. No one is going to harm you." She states as she gently rubs her back. Her actions aren't in a romantic fashion. No its definitely a friend thing and thats good.

"Ain't that the truth! I am still trying to get a good idea about magic. It's coming to me though. The other night... That was the first time I did some of the stuff there. Like the barrier I made? I'd never made more bos like that. Except when I made bo-shurikens. They are like mini bos but, I found out last night that it is a useful thing."

She laughs a little, "That psycho was right. I do use a utility weapon. Though I am pretty sure I don't overthink things when going into a fight."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa hugs back tightly, she needed that, she smiles wide! "Oh! So you're learning! That's good! It's always tough the first few weeks. Learning how to use your power and fight and all that." she nods matter of factly.

"And I went through that twice, technically!" she giggles.

"Once as Scorn... and the other time as Cure Gull. Though. Scorn was a different, unpleasent feeling." she sighs.

"Being filled with Dark Energy. It isn't fun. It numbs you to good thoughts. You don't mind doing bad things. All you care about is yourself." she sighs.

"I hope that, you never have to deal with that Shinobu. Just. Ugh." she shivers.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods, "I wish I had someone who could teach me but honestly, I'm coping. Its really tough managing my magic with grief seeds. I think I've been using too much magic while fighting. If I can keep better control on that, I think I will be alright." She blushes. "Still I've taken down three witches so far! One all by myself." She blushes a little.

As Haruna goes into details about her experience of being dark. She frowns. Then its like she is seen a gory picture, she whips her head away. There is a pained look on her face. As she tears up.

"Have you ever had a nightmare that seemed too real?" She hangs her head. "The other night I had this dream. I was in a labyrinth. It was flat out horrible. Not because of what I seen, but because of what I felt. There were weapons everywhere. Things I am familiar with."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa peers. "I do. I dream bad things. Sometimes it's about my time as Scorn, sometimes it's about things I've gone through. I can't escape what I did as Scorn... she's the 'other side' of my mirror of the heart. I have the capability to be that person again but... it'd mean throwing out everything I've gained.... my sister... my friends... and doing something terrible to Corvus-chan, I'm sure...." she sighs.

She thinks on this for a matter.

"Does it jolt you awake? or do you wake on your own...?" she asks curiously. "Is it the same all the time...?"

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura frowns, "It only happened once so far. I went to fight the witch of that labyrinth and, She had a bo. She threw bo-shurikens at me. The bo was white and viridian..." She sighs and shakes her head.

"Haruna, It was me! Why would I see myself as something so horrible?! This is crazy! I'm one of the good guys right? It doesn't make any sense. I fight them, I'm not one of them!"

She frowns and rubs her head, wiping tears away. "I'm going to keep fighting. I have to. But its got me really worried. I gotta track down Kyubey."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa holds out her hand and squeezes Shinbou's hand. "We all have dreams like that. All us magical types. Sometimes it's because of our own self-doubt. Sometimes it's because to remind us of something we should never forget." she sighs and shakes her head and gives Shinobu another comforting hug if she'll let her.

"Like I said, I dream of myself doing horrible things too and being a witch and all that. I can't say this sounds much different. But it might be different for you Puella Magi..." she says.

"So maybe you should speak to--- Kyubey.. is the name, right?" she asks.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods, "Kyubey is the thing that made the contract with which turned me into a Puella Magi. He is, well, from the half second I got to actually see, He looks like some hybrid fox cat thing. White with red eyes and a smirk.

She gives a squeeze to Haruna's hand. "Yeah, I just hope there is nothing more then that to it. I hope my mind is just wondering. I mean, comeo ne, He said that Puella Magi are born of wishes. Witches are born of curses! Those are two different things right? A person couldn't do both could they?"

She shrugs, "Maybe Going for a swim in molten chocolate is causing me to overthink stuff? Its just work right?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa nods. "It's possible!" she beams. "Sometimes when I overdo it I have really surreal dreams that aren't even about /anything/!" she says. "I always have one repetivte dream..." she says.

"I'm in the fire chiefs office... talking about how they can't find Aki and are giving up the search for her or her body... then... I walk out... into a memorial service. And my parents don't look at me so I stare at the floor--but when it's done I try to say something to them, but they're gone. Then I'd walk out the door into an empty dorm room and they'd just be... nothing." she says.

"...recently. It started going from the 'dorm room' to the top of Clover Tower instead... at that night. But instead of all my friends around me giving me encouragement, they're all... calling me useless, wondered why they wasted time on helping me... saying they're happy to see me die-- and then...I'd fall through the floor into The Precure Graveyard. And... instead of all the mirrors containing the trap Pretty Cure it's just... this reflective black ichor and I-- look different in everyone one. Sometimes I look how I used to look before I touched anything magical... sometimes I'd look like Scorn and sometimes Cure Gull and sometimes just me."

"Then.. these arms will shoot out of all the mirrors and try to tug me into them and---I just give up. Because I feel like I belong there..." she says.

"It's disturing. But It's just a dream." she says shaking her head. "I know my friends care for me a great deal! And I know Hannah-chan never ever feels like she's wasted her time on me." she smiles.

"In the end, well. magical stress isn't like.. normal stress. Is it? So I figure dreams are how your body sorta handles and processes it, right?" she asks.

"Does that make sense to you...?"

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods slowly, "That makes sense. I just never expected magic to affect my dreams and stuff. I never expected magic, period! This whole crazy world has thrown me for such a loop that I am still spinning in the air and waiting to land!

She laughs a little. Quietly she looks at Haruna before speaking again. "Either way, I think the best thing that I could do is talk to Kyubey. Maybe there is more to this? Maybe it's nothing. Either way, Better to know for sure.

"Well I guess, I am going to have some of your yummy food and then I am going to take a bath. It has to help right? And who knows, maybe I can go out later and kick the tar out of a witch." She laughs.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins. "Food and sleep help. Just relax. These things... they're part of your life now, you know? You can't talk to 'regular' people about it, but you can talk to others like you- and it helps. Eventually, it'll be easier for you to deal with. Not immediatly, and sometimes it take longer for others- but I promise you that- you'll be fine if you keep pushing forward and keep a little bit of hope in your heart." she smiles.

She nods. "Go ahead and eat then Shinobu. Remember, I'm just down the hall! and if I'm not home, Aki or Corvus probably will be. You can talk to them too, you know! Just say you're a friend of mine /and/ Gull and she'll be more than happy to talk to you about this strangeness." she giggles.

She gets up and walks over and takes the tupeprware from the last time she delivered food-- rotating the tupperware out means she doesn't need to wait for Shinobu to finish before leaving!

"Be well, okay?" she urges as she begins to make her way out.
