Paranoid Illusion

(For this scrapbook, Rikka will be played by Adri for sake of expedience, though with guidelines set by Sorin.)

[b]Scene Title: Paranoid Illusion

Characters: Azumi Ian, Rikka Masami, and Ignis Fatuus [Dani? Not sure].

Context (Situation): Following "Dark Chest of Wonders", the heroes' escape brought the wrath of Ignis upon Azumi. Although she was ultimately saved by her "Lady" Rikka, she was forced to recover over several days in bed out of terror. Following this, Rikka finally coaxes her out... only to administer her true punishment for disobedience.[/b]

[i]Azumi's room, Gummi Ship Palace[/i] White Night
[i]12:00 Noon, 3 Days after the Contract-Allowed Betrayal[/i]

Another sleepless night had passed. She couldn't help it. Staring up at the dark blue ceiling, the silver decorations... She shivered again in spite of warmth. The room was not the problem. It was very nice. She was being very kind to her maid, all things considered.

Her sheets were tight around her body, making sure to keep everything together. It horrified her, what happened those days ago, felt like two seconds ago and a year back. Barely could get out of bed, had trouble going anywhere. The maid's "employer" had been nice since the incident--

[i]That rage filled face, those hands, the pain, the pain... the horror... the light--[/i]

She shut her eyes, trying to block it out. No, no thinking about it, it would only make it worse, only drive her further from herself... She was safe now, her Lady was going to keep her safe and sound...

She just wished she could have thanked her. Thanked her for what she had done, how patient she had been... Anything to show that in the constraints lain out...

Azumi Ian tensed up as a knock was heard at the door, as the door knob was turned, the door swung open. She looked at the doorway as it opened up, wanting to appear ready for self-defense, even if she clearly was not. She still had a reputation to uphold.

Info from Sorin:

-- How Rikka saves Azumi -- "I see Rikka coming up from behind Ignis, holding a light blade to the back of his neck and telling him to get off her maid."
-- How she'd treat her in the interim days between her recovery and bringing her to eat -- "She'll treat her a bit nicer than usual but won't interact as much as usual either."
-- How she'd get her to eat the poison -- "She'd probably offer it since Azumi probably isn't much of a cook yet so Rikka is making her own food. "
-- If she'd do the asphyxiation herself -- "Rikka will do it herself."
-- What she'd make her swear in her name and hers alone -- "Not really sure." (improvise)
-- If she'd do any other manipulation -- "No, that's the main one."
-- How she'll react to "Zumi" -- "She wouldn't really care other than be amused"
