Who: Kohaku Hearts, all of the people who offered to take up shifts watching here in here.
When: Shortly after that post, lasting throughout the next week or so?
Where: Hearts Apartment (Yuptopil Apartments, Room 103)
Style: Starting in Brackets, will match anything that's thrown at me, though!!
Status: CLOSED to the people helping her out! Thanks, everyone. ♥


[ Kohaku hadn't been doing well at all. She'd taken several hits in the span of a short time, and had now been reduced to an eerily quiet, barely responsive person. She didn't want to do anything but lay around (on the couch now, more than anywhere else ... she couldn't stay in the room she had shared with Shing anymore. it hurt too much) and wallow in her own self-pity ... and yes, when she did really think about it, she knew that was exactly what she was doing. She couldn't bring herself to really care about what she was doing, though.

So, she stayed on that couch. Sometimes sitting, sometimes laying down. Always quiet.

There were bags under her eyes from the lack of sleep she had gotten ... every time she tried to sleep, she always awoke from nightmares. It was also pretty obvious she hadn't been eating as much as she should have ... though Rin had been doing a good job of making her eat anyway.

She was a mess. She really needed help. ]


( ooc: Okay, here's what's going down. I'm going to make separate threads for everyone who has offered to come in and watch the poor girl. If you are among the individual threads and want to thread out their respective shift with Kohaku, feel free, but if you don't think you want to, then that's fine, too. It'll be there regardless of whether or not you want to thread anything out. c: The log was made because there was some interest in one, so it's here if you want it.

And again, I know, it's RP, it's pretendy funtimes, but I want to thank everyone who offered to help Kohaku out, as her mun. Corny or not, it really does mean a lot to me that my muse here has so many amazing people to help her out when she needs it. ♥ )

Mitsuhide

[spiria]

[wavesoakedlegs]

[Mitsuhide heads over to Kohaku's apartment straight after talking to Rin. The other man was exhausted and needed sleep; Mitsuhide was fully rested and more than willing to look after Kohaku. It was only right that he do so.]

[Stepping inside after the short walk, Mitsuhide looks around and quickly finds the young woman. He looks her over, obviously concerned at her rather lifeless state; the emotional impact of everything she has been through has done its work.]

[The one responsible for all this has a lot to answer for.]

Kohaku. [He says, soft and quiet..] Are you comfortable, my dear?

[The samurai is not going to ask her how she's feeling, at least not yet. Frankly Mitsuhide can guess just by looking at her, just by knowing what has happened, and he is not sure how much of a response he'd get right now anyway.]

[Right now he will simply do what he can to take care of Kohaku.]

[spiria]

[ He does get somewhat of a response; she looks up at the familiar voice, though the look in her eyes is just as lifeless as the rest of her seemed. For a moment, it looks as though she might answer him ... but then she looks away, hiding her face in her pillow. ]

Zelos

[spiria]

[chosen_gigolo]

[Not long after Mitsuhide heads out in strides on Zelos Wilder with the biggest bouquet of torch lilies he'd ever managed to put together.]

Knock knock~! I hear someone needs some cheering up.♥

[spiria]

[ the only reaction you're getting, Zelos, is a blank stare in your direction before she curls back up on the couch.

she appreciates it, really. ]

Colette

[spiria]

[clumsyblonde]

[She'd just knocked on the door after seeing Zelos leave, and quietly slipped in afterwards. Kohaku...

Colette smiles softly at the older girl.]

Are you comfortable? Do you want me to get you something? [She seems like she's soulless now...Except it's obvious her body still needs to sleep and eat. So she doesn't really expect a real response.]

[spiria]

[ She's sitting on the couch now as opposed to laying on it, hugging her pillow close to her chest, her face half-buried in it. Even if she wanted to respond, she wouldn't know how ... was she comfortable? No, she was an emotional wreck. Physically, no, not really either. Everything hurt emotionally, and when everything hurt emotionally, everything may as well have hurt physically as well. ]

Mickey

[spiria]

[takesyoubytheheart]

[Shave and a haircut, two bits! That's how he knocks before opening the door and poking his head in.]

Hiya! Mind if I come on in?

[spiria]

[ You're not really going to get a verbal response at all. Or even a physical one. She's just going to stay where she is, curled up on the couch.

Sorry, Mickey. :( ]

Bianca

[spiria]

[needsmoregreen]

[Once Mickey's shift was over, Bianca decided to cheer Kohaku up by giving her some cookies that she got from Italy's bakery. It was a while since she last talked to her but what happened? She thought that she was getting better but...guess not.]

Kohaku, I found some cookies from Italy's bakery so I thought might make you happier! I tried them before and they're really good! I hope that you do too soon!

[spiria]

[ She kinda broke when Shing left ... she was okay as long as she knew he was there with her, but then ...

Well, Bianca can see. Kohaku does manage to glance at Bianca for a moment, but then she goes right back to the lifeless lump on the couch that she had been for the past few days. ]

Alister

[spiria]

[double_edged]

[Alister didn't do 'cheering up'.

He was only supportive when needed, or there if one desperately needed a hand. This girl, a friend of Rin's, had been the one to help spare his life to begin with, so upon hearing that she needed assistance, the Elder was more than willing to oblige.

So he sits by her side, watching for any subtle changes in her behaviour. He didn't fully understand the situation as it was, but damn it all if that kept him from trying.]

[spiria]

[ She's not gonna be very good company, sorry to say it, Alister. She's currently just sitting there, hugging her pillow close to her, and staring ahead of her. ]

Tidus

[spiria]

Rin

[spiria]

[keepsthefire]

[The other shifts had come and gone. The night was dragging on, and the only sounds in the apartment were coming from the kitchen currently as Rin worked on the meals for the next day - not only for Kohaku but for the people watching her, too. The radio was on low, quiet enough that if he wanted to try talking to her he could do so without raising his voice.]

... oi. Kohaku. Got a question for you, if you're up to answerin'.

[spiria]

[ Having so many people who cared about her seemed to be doing the trick ... though she wasn't 100% better by far, she was at least reacting more, and a little more life had come back to her eyes. She was starting to realize that she couldn't just keep doing this. It sucked, yeah, but ... she had to try her best to pick up and keep going.

It wasn't much, but when Rin asked her that, she was able to respond. ]

Hm?

Gracia

[spiria]

so late ;; hope you don't mind ;;

[kagayakashi]

[ Gracia was incredibly upset when she heard about what happened to Kohaku. She must have been stuck in her own world again, for how could she have missed her dearest friend - someone she treated like family even - dying? She frowns as she marches up to her apartment, and knocks swiftly. The feeling of regret never really went away, but more than anything, Gracia was worried for how Kohaku was coping now. She hadn't spoken to her after hearing the news of her death, and only by special request was she allowed to come and visit.

Something happened, something besides her dying. Something that killed the smile that Gracia was so fond of seeing. She has every intention of finding out what became of Haku.

And maybe she could help her. No, not maybe. Gracia was certain; it was her only objective. ]

[ After she knocks, and she hears no response, Gracia tilts her head to the side and opens the door just a bit. She peeks her head inside, and looks around for any signs of Kohaku. ]

Haku? It's me, Gracia. Are you in here? May I come in? Please?

of course not, dear! ♥

[spiria]

[ Gracia will see Kohaku sitting on the couch, hugging a pillow close to her and staring straight ahead. She had tried to sleep, but she didn't want to go through another nightmare. She had been feeling a little better since everyone else had come, though, and had realized that she needed to grow up and keep going ... so when she hears Gracia, she looks back at her and manages at least a small smile. ]

Come on in ...
