Silent Noodles: Oh god every noise is pain

[assaultedramen]

[It had been a few days before Miki's body had recovered enough from the large amount of alcohol she had consumed a few nights previously. Every noise she heard was pain, but, unfortunately, she needed to go to work at some point today. So she managed to drag herself out of bed and out to do some errands before heading in to feed the cats at work.]

A. Shopping District.

[Miki is dragging herself around the shopping district, a long look in her eyes, and obviously tired. Occasionally she stops in front of a clothing store's window and gazes in, looking immensely confused before moving onto the next store. Eventually she pulls out her phone and makes a call.

B. Phone - Fail filtered to Devola.

[Miki is practically whispering over the network, even if she thinks she's only only talking to Devola. Her speech is fast and somewhat slurred: obviously she'd very tired.]

Ok, you said that I needed to get some more clothes and now I have money but there are too many types of clothes why can't I just wear the same things all the time and then wear that to this ball?

C. Bookstore, Evening.

[If you come to the bookstore, there is a 100% chance you will find Miki next to the cash register with her head down. Anyone who comes in, or even makes some nose, be it cat or customer, will silently and angerly be asked to stop makings so much noise.]

[Enter one Eater. He spots Miki by the cash register and grins.]

You look different when you're sober.

Oh my god you don't need to yell, I can hear you.

What did I do? I never remember after I drink...

[harpbeat]

You lectured everybody on acting like a proper lady.

Re: C

[assaultedramen]

Wha- I don't care how people act as long as they aren't bothering others. What the heck are you talking about?

C

[harpbeat]

You were all 'a lady this' and 'a lady that' and 'oh, the shame of a guy hitting on me'.

Beeeeeee

[devola]

...Okay, one, you sound like hell warmed over. Two, you're talking too fast. Deep breaths, slow down, all that.

Now. It was something about clothes?

Re: Beeeeeee

[assaultedramen]

Sorry, I'm really, really tired. And everything hurts when I talk. You said something about me getting different clothes when I got out of the hospital, and now that I have money I can get some. All of these places are confusing though.

[devola]

Oh.

Oh my.

Miki, you weren't part of Gilly-boy's celebration of wretched excess, were you?

[She'll get on the real topic soon. First she has to be annoying, clearly.]

[assaultedramen]

Eugh...I...I think? I walk walking by the bar and when I looked in to see what was happening someone handed me a bottle and it all kind of stops there until I woke up this morning wrapped in a table cloth.

[Have a concerned look from a recently-hired fellow employee.]

Are you all right?

Re: C

[assaultedramen]

[Miki gives Edel a look like she had just stabbed her in the face. After a few moments, when the ringing in Miki's head stops, she responds with a growling tone.]

No. I haven't had the best few nights.

Re: C

[lostherstrings]

[Discerning that the girl seemed to be sensitive to sound, Edel responds in a softer, though still audible, voice.]

I'm sorry to hear that. I could keep an eye on things here while you rested in the back for a little bit?

Re: C

[assaultedramen]

I shouldn't though. Between me beating him up and the cats I think the owner is looking for any excuse to fire me.

[And here you've got the most quiet guy entering the bookstore, as he let's the door shut behind him.]

[assaultedramen]

[BOOM OH GOD SO MUCH NOISE.]

Uhhhggg, Don't slam the door!

[Miki's tone is scolding, though she's not yelling because doing so would cause her brain to fall out of the back of her head.]

[doudemoe]

?

But I didn't.

[assaultedramen]

Don't yell either!

[scorpiospider]

[ Hey Miki. Guess who just about ran you over in her own tired haze] Watch it!

[assaultedramen]

Uhg, watch it you little br...

2/2

[assaultedramen]

[Wow, this was the last person she wanted to see today.]


...What do you want...

[scorpiospider]

You.

[A smile started to cross her face, showing off way too many bared teeth] You look... alive.

[April will just be making her way into the bookstore, and blinking at the figure next to the cash register.]

... Miki?

Re: C

[assaultedramen]

Augh...not...not so loud April....

[technologic]

[April immediately lowers her voice down to a whisper, before walking closer.] Ah, sorry. Feeling horrible after that party, I'm guessing?

[assaultedramen]

I just woke up five hours ago...what the hell happened there?
