micronation: (sitting staring out)

Five; Action

[Sealand woke up in terror after he died, his consciousness slamming into his head before his body fully woke up, leaving him kicking fruitlessly against his blankets. He ran to the bathroom to make sure he wasn't in pieces--because he was sure something had come out of him, or something--and, once he realized he was alive again, burst into tears and refused to leave his room the entire day, ignoring food in favor of clinging to the stuffed bear he'd gotten from home after Valentine's Day, a solid reminder of home he wanted to go back to.

He woke similarly the next two days as well, although from nightmares. He couldn't sleep much at night, so he would sneak down for food then, trying to avoid everyone, terrified that he would run into those statues in the middle of the night. Eventually, listening in on the phone lines, he became aware they'd gone away. He was still afraid to stray far from his room, though.]


A; 769 Bunker Street
[Sealand hasn't really left his room for a couple days--somehow he has been acquiring food, but aside from that he is the quietest he's been since he's arrived. Still, he heard somewhere you have to go to school every three days or get droned, so he's dragging his feet down the steps this morning. He isn't bringing his backpack, he's just bringing himself.]

B; heading to school
[Sealand isn't really watching here he's going, but he's not straying from the sidewalk. This is actually unusual--normally Sealand's jumping cracks, balancing on the edge of the road, and generally running everywhere. But he just doesn't have the energy right now. He jumps every time he thinks he sees something human-shaped out of the corner of his eye, though.]

C; school
[Sealand is not his usual self. He's quiet and has placed himself in the back corners of the room when possible, spending most of his time staring out the window or drawing spirals on paper he had to borrow with pencils he had to borrow since he didn't bring anything at all.]

[Sitting next to you.]

[Wednesday passes him over a black card. It's handmade with small gravestones drawn on it. Yes she made you a card because you died.]

Are you feeling better now?

[Tiffany watches him jump as a drone walks by and frowns...that wasn't a good sign. So she walks over, trying to not be too quiet about it, so she wouldn't scare him.]

Hello Sealand.

[She walks next to him, trying to keep the worry from her face.

This was just like the time he'd come back from Westport....]


You didn't get sent to Westport last week did you?

[There is a human-shaped creature rushing at him out of the corner of his eye. It is running away from some bees but Sealand probably won't realize that.]

[The dreadful monster will pause by the stricken boy as he passes by, blink, then reach down to try to drag Sealand away.]

Stop lying around! You wanna get stung to death?!

[She's on her way to school herself, hugging her bag tightly to her chest, eyes on the ground so that when she bumps into him she jumps back, startled and a little scared]

U-Um I'm so sorry!

I-I'm sorry, I didn't...[Is it any consolation that she look as scared as he must have been]

[Hong Kong's passing by just as he's leaving.

And oh. That's not like Sealand... He's not being hyperactive and obnoxious for one thing. Hong Kong stops in his tracks to greet him, curiously, although he can maybe guess what's upset him.]
Hey.

[Sophie had been unaware that the young boy/nation that had once lived in her house had returned to Mayfield so she was rather surprised to see him walking down the street while she was on her way to work that morning. She paused in her step and called across the street to him.]

Peter?

[Sophie is not completely surprised at Sealand's response. This isn't the first time something like that had happened after all.]

You don't remember me?

[ Tavros is always in the back of the room, and also constantly dozing off by accident, but after a suitably awkward amount of time he finally pipes up. ]

Uh, hey. I don't know, if you remember me, and it's okay, if you don't, but hi.

[Look, it's your biffle Seborga. And it's harder to tell with him, but he's looking a lot less energetic than usual, too. He silently falls into step with Sealand as he walks to school, hanging his head and staring at the ground as he goes.]

[Seborga plods along quietly for a few steps before his entire body shudders. He turns his head away from Sealand, but it's pretty clear from the sounds he's making that he's crying.]

Are you...ok?

( the spirals are kind of pretty, though... )

Are you doing one of those things where you say you're alright but you are, in fact, not?
