Well Damn

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Misaki doesn’t so much appear on the Plane as get thrown onto it, accompanied by the sound of an explosion, abruptly cut off, and twists of flame leaping from nowhere that vanish as soon as she hits the not-floor. Her raid helmet tumbles off, leaving her sweaty, tangled hair to dangle in her face.

She’s on her side, hand pressed hard against her collarbone. Dark, ugly arterial blood the color of polished mahogany slimes up between her fingers and dribbles down the back of her hand. Each breath sounds like someone coughing air through a soaked paper bag.

She rolls onto her back. Whispers,] Idiot. You idiot.

[A pink bubble forms around the word and bursts at the corner of her mouth, and she starts coughing.]




[[So, this is a mod-approved death post--in other words, THERE IS NO WAY TO SAVE HER. Mwaha-hem. If you post, be prepared for lots of blood and potentially some emo. Also, there is a prompt that leads to this which will be put up later. THAT IS ALL.]]

[nods and pushes some of her hair from her eyes] I know. Just talk. It'll keep you going until then.

[She tries to keep her breathing shallow, despite the desperation she feels for more air; deep breaths will just make her start coughing again.] I wish Kanami was here.

Kanami?

My friend... I told you about her, I think. She... [Swallows a few times, trying to clear her throat.] We've known each other since high school. She... was... [Little smile.] God. We used to get in so much trouble. It was always her fault.

[smiles slightly] Tell me about it.

We... stole her dad's car once. She didn't tell me. Thought it was strange that he just let her use it. Loved that car. She said she had... her license. [Laughs a little.] She'd failed her driving exam the day before. Figured that out... pretty quick... crashed into a tree two blocks from school. My dad... had to bail us out. He was proud of me. [She's smiling a little bit.] Proud of me! So ridiculous...

[laughs] Now that sounds like a real friend there.

[She gives a gurgling little chuckle and her vision goes spotty. She doesn't think about it, tries not to think about it, just keeps talking.] 'nother time... we broke into the school, after hours in the summer. She said she... left her mom's necklace in her cubby, expensive one, couldn't just leave it... Such a liar.

[There is a much longer pause now. She tries for a deeper breath and starts coughing. It takes a little bit to get it under control.]

Dragged me... to the pool. [She looks happy, peaceful.] Skinny-dipping. [Embarrassed laugh.] Wouldn't be half as alive without her.

[Her eyelids drift down, half-shut.] She kissed me... that was... first time... [Struggles to breathe a bit, tastes blood in the back of her throat and gags.]
