[she overestimated herself.

and by overestimated, we mean she walked out of the apartment (wearing her brother's clothes, no less; she does what she wants!!) feeling downright perky and started walking around like she wasn't hurt at all. of course, this was just a temporary thing because walking around from morning to afternoon took too much of a toll on her still-weak legs. she's had enough of that rest thing and she's always been strong-willed, so she thought she could do it!

apparently she was wrong, and she figured that out sometime during ~shopping~ for dresses.

lacie barely managed to limp to the park and collapse near the water's edge (so, so humiliating), in a black and purple dress she had just bought, oswald's clothes tucked safely in her arms. alright. she cedes to her brother's logic; maybe it was too soon to head out. but damn it, jack's gone, she's run out of ideas to get oswald to stop sulking (except for one. one very, very unorthodox one, and one she would soon implement if her life depended on it damn it), and she's so, so bored.

and then quacking, definitely not from her. ........ great.]

So, it seems that I have you all for company. [and now she's talking to the ducks. ... she's going crazy.

how much longer will it take her to call oswald-- no, no, she refuses to call him this time. he can come looking for her if she's still here by the time her legs choose to start working again. ... maybe. depending.

she does have ducks for company, after all.]

[Not just ducks. A young goose comes charging by, honking loudly, near cannonballing himself at the pond. He's not alone though. He's soon followed by a tall, lanky alien teenager, clown-faced and everything!, who seems more than happy to sprawl out on the water's edge next to her, leaning back on his elbows. He glances at her for a moment, giving her a relaxed, dopey grin, raising one hand.]

Hey.

[instabilities]

[oh that's surprising AND NOT SOMETHING SHE EXPECTED TO SEE brownie points right away, mr goose. as precious as ever. oswald would have loved you to bits and pieces-

she'll just be raising a hand right back at him, chuckling somewhat under her breath despite the tingling in her legs.]

Hello. [come here often, stranger?] I see there are some very excited geese around today. [making up for their sprawling, likely. the efforts of one goose versus the non-efforts of two other beings! who would have thought.]

[420]

My lil' man just gets all sorts of real motherfuckin' excited being when he lays gander on water.

[Just look at that goose swim! He is clearly having the time of his life just paddling around, trying to mess with the ducks.]

[Yosuke was just passing through the park when he hears the quacking.

...

And that wasn't exactly a sound he'd think to hear along with quacking. Talking?

He turns to look and sees Lacie on the ground, and he tilts his head before walking over.]

Uh...hey. What're you doing down there?

[instabilities]

Ah, so he belongs to you? How ever did you come upon such a surprising bird?

[oh no she's terribly amused! those poor ducks look aghast, even as some join in on the fun.]

[instabilities]

[oh, don't mind her too much! that was just the sound of her sanity cracking like a rotten egg--

except, you know, if that had an audible noise it would sound more like rattling chains. regardless, she's all smiles now that she isn't alone. she doesn't immediately admit that she had temporarily lost the ability to walk, though.

instead:] Why, I'm resting, of course. Walking all day has made me realize that my brother was right, unfortunately.

[but, who would really be surprised? oswald is always right when it comes to her, and while she knows it's just that he's concerned-- if it sounds like she's huffing, she is truly.]

[Who in Pandora Hearts even has any shred of sanity left anyway--I mean.

...Resting. He raises an eyebrow.] What was he right about?

[He could guess, but he was going to let her tell him instead.]

[instabilities]

[uhhh uh I... fair point B( liam might be the most sane of them all--

AHAHAHA CAN'T A DEAD GIRL HAVE PRIDE inbe4 not u, lacie. slowly puffing her cheeks a little bit booboo!] He told me that it was too soon to try and walk on my own for too long.

But, it's so boring in that room! Jack is gone and Oswald is still sulking. [real life problems, uou see! kind of. attempts. to gain back some maturity after this.] I had to get out of there for a little while.

[420]

Found him. Me and my babe all motherfuckin' did.

[Gamzee leans back on his hands, happily watching his goose mess around with the ducks.]

Poor lil' man were all fuckin' on his lonesome. Didn't have any motherfucker to up and be takin' care at him, so we did.

[garbagecanned]

[...Probably.

What is pride? Especially when Yosuke's involved.] What, are you sick or something?

[Hm. He tilts his head a bit.]

And the network isn't keeping you preoccupied enough?
