046 - I thirst, I hunger, yet my strength is bubbling up.

[Today, Ash Ketchum picks up the telephone.]

Man, I feel like I've been out for a month. What's goin' on? And why's there so much milk in the kitchen?

[She barely pauses as she walks past him in the hall, before she hears him say something about the milk in the kitchen and then realizes with a start that he isn't droned. She turns, and it's pretty clear that she hadn't had a good day; she's pretty beat up looking, and though she does nod at him she won't approach him.]

You're back, Ash?

[bestwishes]

Ehehe, yeah. That's right.

[snipingmissy.livejournal.com]

[She stands a good few feet away from him, and hopes maybe he won't notice--or at least won't comment on--the blood on her clothes.]

Do you feel all right?

[bestwishes]

Just a bit out of it, but mostly okay...

[snipingmissy.livejournal.com]

[She nods slightly, a bit pale.]

Maybe...you ought to stay inside for a few days, Ash. There are strange things going on.

[bestwishes]

What kinda strange things?

[snipingmissy.livejournal.com]

Something is going on with the milk. If someone in the house doesn't drink it, someone will be droned.

And...not the typical droning, it seems. They remember everything that happens, and they have an incredible desire to kill others.

[Don't flinch, she tells herself. Don't flinch.]

[bestwishes]

Oh man, seriously?

[snipingmissy.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, yes.

[bestwishes]

Man, that sounds really sucky...

It has been about a month. Maybe a bit longer. Welcome back loser.



You the only non-drone in your house, or are their others?

[bestwishes]

Well, there's Crowe, Riza and Hol...

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Make sure one of them drinks the milk each day.

[bestwishes]

Well, okay. Isn't the milk usually poison or something though?

[godisachild.livejournal.com]

Yeah but it's different now. Usually.

[bestwishes]

Ah, I see... Kinda...

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Apparently, the milkman became the new police chief. [AHAHA...]

[bestwishes]

What? Seriously!?

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Yeah. [ sigh.. ] I heard that no matter if you drink or don't drink the milk, bad things happen.

[ ... Not that anything bad has happened to her. Derp. ]

[bestwishes]

Man, that sucks...

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

It really does... [Oh, right!] um, you don't mind if I come over, do you?

[bestwishes]

Sure, uh... I don't see why not?

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'll be right on over! [...and she hangs up cheerfully! Time to go to Ash's house, and once she's there, she'll knock on the door.]

[bestwishes]

Oh, uh... Hey Dawn! What's up?

[wonribbons.livejournal.com]

Me? Nothing, really... [but suddenly arm clinging!]
