ITP: Landmines [Event/Canon]

[kyoko-flirts.livejournal.com]

[Have Kyoko, ice cream cone of some esoteric flavor in hand, walking the halls. She's not stalking for boys to hit on for laughs for once because, well, even she has moments where she's not up to it. It takes a lot of energy to be on the GOGOGO and cheerful as much as she is. Only Namine, being her roommate, has seen her in her quieter moments.

Then again, not a lot of people notice Kyoko at all in her quieter moments. That's how rare they are.

It only figures things would go screwy during one of said quiet moments.]

[Before Kyoko had entered the room, Irisu prepared a cart used to carry around paperwork in files from department to department. It was empty, but given how much paperwork is produced in a day's time, the cart was quite large and wide enough to carry a human body.

Irisu set her stocking into the cart before reaching down to pick up Kyoko. She set the unconscious girl's body inside the cart with her stocking and returned the files she had set aside back into the cart.

With the body safely hidden, Irisu began pushing the cart out of the room... and into the waste processing center.]

[Where Kyoko would be left, unconscious--dying--until someone finds her.

The only reason she isn't dead yet is, while her body means she has the capabilities and limits of a normal fifteen-year-old girl, it is rather sturdy in places. Not by much compared to a fully organic body, but enough that it might mean the line between life and death in moment's like these.

The clock is ticking for her would-be rescuers.]

[In time, Irisu manages to pass by people without raising too much suspicion and reaches the waste processing center. Bearing through the smell, the bunny witch pushes the cart further into the center and finds a heap of trash waiting to be compressed or the like.

Setting the files aside neatly with the intention of returning them back to the filing room, Irisu takes Kyoko's body and takes it over to the pile with the intention of burying her in the trash. As she beings burying her, however...

She notices something: a piece of paper sticking out from her pocket. Could this have been something she overlooked? Irisu takes it purely out of curiosity and unfolds it. As she looks at its contents...

The girl slowly puts it in her pocket before continuing her efforts. Irisu was... now visibly disturbed.]

*And then, a short while later... serendipity strikes in the form of two boys doing an odd job.*

...all I'm saying is, I don't really get the point of doing paperwork if they're just going to chuck it into the waste processing center afterwards.

I guess they have to keep us busy, somehow.

[Which Uuji doesn't appreciate, mind. He'd rather spend time being lazy in his room.]

At least we should be able to handle this job.

["I'd be pretty depressed if we couldn't."]

*He opens the door. Phew.*

["Although admittedly, the odor's enough to put anybody off."]

Let's see... I guess we should put it over by the recyclables?

[catdrawer.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but...

Um, are we sure this is the kind of stuff CO wants anyone reading?

Like I can figure out how the minds of the higher ups work.

*He sighs, flumphing down the pile.*

Boy, what a pain in the... hand?

2/2

[sossanity.livejournal.com]

*Hand.*

["WHAT?!"]

*Kyon starts, darting towards where a hand is sticking out from the compactible trash pile.*

[catdrawer.livejournal.com]

What's wrong?

[Uuji sees the hand, and immediately freezes in shock, having no experience with this sort of situations.]

[sossanity.livejournal.com]

["What's wrong?! Oh, only a human hand in the waste processing center! Goddamnit, I hope this has nothing to do with Tenshi's direc --"]

*Kyon has been clearing away garbage this whole time, and freezes in shock as a face is uncovered.*

Kyoko?! KYOKO!!

["Oh my God! What happened to her?! She looks like she's gone through a meat grinder!"]

[catdrawer.livejournal.com]

[He approaches, willing to provide whatever help is necessary.]

W-We... we have to get her out of here.

[sossanity.livejournal.com]

*Kyon nods wordlessly, digging frantically to uncover her body.*

["Hang on, she's breathing... oh thank God, she's still alive. But we've gotta do something or..."]

Help me get her to the Medical Wing. We've gotta hurry!

["Damnit, Kyoko, don't go dying on me now! We've still got those restaurants to go to! I didn't fight to help you get your own body just to have you up and die on me with it!"]

[catdrawer.livejournal.com]

[Uuji nods and starts trying to carry her as well. At the very least, he has enough clarity of mind to do that.]

[Thoughts start flying around his head. Could this be...?]

[No. Impossible.]
