1 Some days are just weird like that [ Social | Kaiji | NK ] Fri Apr 14, 2017 10:50 am
Umeko
D-rank
Usually, Umeko can tell how her day is going to be from the very beginning.
How? Mostly due to the fact she plans them carefully the night before. She's an organized person who likes to know what they should be doing at any part of the day.
The girl likes to pick her clothes beforehand, and place them beside her bed so she won't need to look for them. There's also a journal she keeps, that helps her with time management.
This morning was different.
Stuff were messy— too messy. The clothes she picked were on the floor, as if a person broke into her house. The windows also held her gaze for a couple of moments, they made her wonder if she left them open - which she was sure she didn't. Maybe someone got inside through them?
“Probably just the wind..?” the Ouroboro spoke to herself, almost as if a question was being asked. She wasn't a heavy-sleeper - so she hoped she had nothing to worry about. If someone was here, she would've noticed.
It took her a few more moments to fully believe there was no one in her house, and then, the girl simply went to start her daily morning routine. Brushing her teeth, changing her attire, arranging her bed - all of the usual actions one who lives alone has to go through.
She decided to wear a royal-blue colored skirt, with two white strips at its left side, the shirt she wore was greyish, that leaned towards the color white. As usual, her headband was tied like a bow to her head - the way it felt most comfortable. She was almost fully prepared, just.. One more thing!
Lollipops, duh.
The first was taken out of its wrapper practically only a moment after Umeko departed her home, and the two others were placed in her backpouch - where she kept her kunai and shuriken. Once the candy was popped inside Umeko's mouth, she began walking off.
The sight of the tall tree that stood at the middle of a bridge lured her already from yesterday, the girl didn't have the time to stay there yesterday - but today she did. There was an odd urge that bloomed within her body to go there once more— a feeling she couldn't resist. It wasn't usual for Umeko to spend her time loitering like this, but, some days were just odd like that. The teen's body acted on its own, as if it wasn't the brain who was operating it anymore.
“It could turn out good,” is what she told herself last night. “Maybe something big is supposed to happen there, maybe a famous shinobi is supposed to walk there tomorrow.”
Twenty minutes passed before she got there, considering there was no rush to be there this early, it was fine.
. . .
Oh. There was really no rush. Last night this place was more... Crowded, to say the least. There were people around! Some were just crossing the bridge, and not staying here, but hey - that's what bridges are for. Now? There was absolutely no one here but Umeko herself! Maybe she was too early? It was only nine AM, after all.
.. Or perhaps she was too late. Maybe the person she felt she was supposed to meet passed here last night?
No. The teen can't let herself give up this easily - there's a reason she needed to be here today, she can feel it. She took a seat on one of the wood benches, allowing her pale eyes to drift aside towards the view that was offered from this height. There were houses around, and some stores, yet none of them seemed relevant to her.
Nonetheless, the teen had to pass her time somehow, and the best way she could do it was to observe the surrounding view.
It's only a matter of time before some sannin, or a kage would pass here. And she would be there to welcome them!
