Astral Destruction

[ Clementine and Mae appear on the screen. It’s a little girl and a cat girl. They’re standing in a room on the first floor. Clem has a crowbar in her hand, slung over her shoulder. Mae has her trusty baseball bat and a very cat-that-got-the-canary grin on her face.]

Hey, so… Mae told me about how she breaks shit sometimes and how it’s… cathartic? [ that’s the word she used, right? ] And I tried it with a light bulb. It felt pretty damn awesome so we thought it might be cool to have an official place where people could break stuff whenever they needed to deal with bullshit.

[Mae immediately picks up the thread, grinning wide.]

So we are super effing pleased to introduce…The Destruction Room.

[She pans the camera over to the sign on the door. It’s generic and straight to the point. Then she pans the camera around to take in the room. There’s rows of shelves filled with china plates, vases, glass figurines and other fragile-looking items. Along the walls are dozens of light fixtures and free-standing lamps, as well as just a metric ton of lightbulbs, both fluorescent and incandescent. All of it is very precariously displayed and it looks like it wouldn’t take much to just knock some of these shelves right over.]

Isn’t it amazing? We stocked it with everything that could possibly go smash.

[Clementine gestures then to have Mae pan the camera toward the wall on the side which has a giant weapon rack with every blunt weapon imaginable from bats to maces to hammers and more. ]

Over on this wall, we’ve got every blunt weapon you can think of so you can really make the breakables crack into a hundred awesome pieces. Also, it’s on the first floor, room 4 so if you hit yourself in the foot or get glass stuck in your arm or something, the clinic’s right next door.

Yeah, we pretty much thought of everything. Because we’re awesome.

[Mae holds out her hand to Clementine for a high-five. Clementine leans over, high fiving her back, with a smile. Totally awesome. ]

Anyway, yeah, come on down and get your smash on. Work out some of that pre-event anxiety or whatever.

Walkers-- ...zombies.

The last zombie event that happened with the big horde? That's my world.

Man. Sounds like you could use powers like mine there.

[During the event, his powers hadn't been nearly as strong as they should have been. It was...worrying.]

Yeah, we really could, but there are just people and walkers. No one with powers. People try to- They try to take control and take their own power by force, but-

It can't be as easy as that, can it? And even if someone managed it, it'd just make it harder for everyone else.

It's not. Whenever I see it happen, it ends with most people dead anyway, cause people fight back.

You're alive though.

[So that's something.]

Yeah. I am.

I learned how to survive.
noreason: (Is this the depth of your heart?)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-25 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
What were you like before that?

[Learning to survive can cause pretty big changes.]

Actually, that's kind of personal. Never mind.
shorthair: (you're cool)

( Clementine smirks a little to let him know it's okay. )

I was eight so pretty much your average kid. Went to school, played in a tree house, that kind of stuff.
noreason: (I have zero romance feelings for you)

[personal profile] noreason 2017-08-26 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Probably didn't break too much stuff. [On purpose.]
shorthair: don't let the hurdle fall (few more years to grow)

No, I would have gotten in trouble. ( there's a tiny smile then and a shake of her head. it was a long time ago. sometimes it's hard to remember what it was really like.

to get in trouble like that- like being sent to her room or being reprimanded. )

I know how that is-- things being normal before, I mean.

And then normal's gone forever.

( It's said in understanding. There's a pause. ) Thank you for talking to me. ( He didn't treat her like a kid who wouldn't get it and that means a lot to her. )

[He nods. It's nice talking to someone without having to go into all the details because they understand already.]

Any time you want to. I'm Naoki, by the way.

Same.

( It goes both ways if he ever needs or want someone to talk to. She's here. )

I'm Clementine. Nice to meet you.

You, too. We'll talk again sometime.
