welcome (?) (2 prompts)

[Sayaka isn't expecting to wake up ever again.

Really, truly--she isn't. There's a brief moment when she comes to that she's simply dazed, hearing the world and people around her and seeing blearily, but not quite registering any of it in the slightest. She briefly wonders if this is the afterlife, if she's going to be honest--it's a little cold and hard, but the sun is warm on her skin and she feels so strange. Sayaka isn't sure she deserves this after betraying everyone to save her friends, but--

It's when she gets up that the reality of the situation hits properly. And it all starts with a clang that hits the ground, causing Sayaka to look down at it--and more importantly, down at herself.

She has blood dried all over herself. The knife on the ground also has her blood on it--where even was it? Sayaka doesn't want to know. (Sayaka absolutely knows, and it makes her sick--) But all Sayaka knows is that she's woken up in a strange place, in the same bloody clothing she died in, and her face must have gone impressively pale in the span of time it's taken the realization to hit, and--

It comes out before she can stop it, though she endeavors to at least muffle the bloodcurdling scream that escapes her while she grabs the knife and just. Goes off to the side elsewhere. She'll...apologize to Mina-san in a moment once everything is taken care of, but Sayaka finds a spot in some shade, far away from people, and just.

...Honestly, she kind of just curls up and cries for a bit. She'll. She'll be back in a moment, promise. She'll probably show up at the welcome party later after she cleans herself up a bit, but she's noticeably withdrawn and hanging off to the side. A wallflower, her. But whether you find her crying in horror or horribly subdued, she is trying. Very hard to be normal, despite it all. God help her.]


cleanup duty

[Okay. Okay, Sayaka at least has her bearings--she's likely had to go and try to get as much blood out of her only pair of clothes that she can, but they at least look...passable, now. She hopes. She really hopes it doesn't leave a permanent stain on there, that's going to be so awkward--

But Sayaka is all smiles and fine as can be when she takes on one of the commissions--keeping things clean is second nature to Sayaka, who's had to keep her house clean and spotless ever since her workaholic dad just gave up. But Sayaka approaches the task with an impressive amount of vigor, as she picks up everything she can--like a little blue roomba, she's going to town in making sure she doesn't think about things for too long. No, you wouldn't even be able to tell that she woke up in horror earlier based on her demeanor.

Hell, if she comes across you, she'll actually raise a hand in greeting--]


Oh, hello! Are you here to help clean up the town as well?

[Clothes.

Sayaka had seen the commission for this and practically jumped at the chance--new clothing was always something she loved, but getting something else to wear would only be a benefit at this point. She practically rushes down to the location, smiling as she meets the cranky photographer--she's dealt with plenty in her time, after all, and she knows how to keep herself calm. Keep calm, smile, be polite repeats in her head as the photographer tells her she needs to find someone, and--

Well. You happen to be nice and close by, so hopefully you don't mind as Sayaka walks up--]


Hi there! I hope I'm not being a bother--could I talk to you for a second?
