(Other game: updated. Feeling: creative. Beginning Starlight update.)
You walk around the town for what seems like days, no end to the hazy dawn. God, you've never been up this early. You find a bench and sit down, feeling shaky all over. The park around you is. Covered in mist, dragging itself across the grass bringing dew upon the fragile stalks of grass pushing up toward the sky in a desperate attempt to reach for the

"Hey, hey, Akei, are you alright? You're looking a little hoboish." says Azucena as she shakes you awake.your entire body feels stiff and odd, and you feel more then a little hungry. "Heeeey, what's with the ears? Now that's far out. Question is, is that a fashion statement or some sort of a politics thin? Bet you got it from someone else, though. You're hardly the political type, you're straight up, you do know you're a cool guy, right?"
"... Hi, Azucena." you say, feeling like your throat has been stretched far enough to snap back tight around your throat. People are walking around the park, pretending not to stare at you. You are this close to being in one of those dreams where you are in your underwear late for class. This is mortifying. Within yourself, you recognize that you really wish Azucena was not present for this.
"So, do you want to be late for your first day of class?" Azucena smiles and pats your shoulder twice. "Good luck, it's a jungle in there. Listen, while you're in there, I need you to do me a favor. Just a little something in return for letting you into my club. It's favors for favors, and a few of my buddies were kinda angry about you being present last night. Nothing personal, it's just that certain people forget my club was founded on being an open house. Guess some people aren't happy without their boots being on someone. We all have to compromise. It's all politics, which I am assured you have no interest in. So, Akei, would you mind doing this one thing? It'd mean that I wouldn't have this sort all this bullshit out myself. Besides, knowing those assholes, it's just as likely they'd start bothering you. So, up for it?"
The events of the last few hours and what is happening right now just hit you. You feel like crying even though you have no reason to. God, before now, you really hated your entire family, but now you just realized that they were the only ones backing you up. You are alone for the first time in your life and you only just realized this.
Azucena is still smiling at you. What do you do?
(And we are now back in business. Expect a detailed Situation when I'm on a proper computer.)
