Chapter 4 - Can I Still See The Light?
[A - Action, downtown, mid-morning/afternoon]
[It's important for a housewife to go grocery shopping. The household had to eat, didn't it? Even the nanoceran-plated member of the family wasn't exempt. Dakki's heart really wasn't into it today, though. You might find her staring off into space and leaning on her cart, can in hand, lost in thought.]
[B - Action, Rec Center, afternoon]
[With her shopping done and safely tossed in nano-storage, Dakki is off to take care of the next part of her plans for the day. She had to take a look at that "Rec Center" that Quinn had told her about! she wanted to assess the size of the facilities, equipment, and just how she'd go about getting use of a big room for a few hours each week.
Fitness and self-defense classes need to be held somewhere. Preferably somewhere indoors. Wasn't winter coming? Putting it in her backyard wouldn't do.]
[C - Action, Closed to 458 Stone Street, evening]
[Supper tonight at the Gatt household was... not really supper at all. Dakki had left out a loaf of fresh sliced bread and fillings for sandwiches, and had announced a weak "serve yourselves", before retreating to the backyard.
She had unfolded a lawn chair and sunk back into it, staring bleakly up at the sky. Tonight was as good a night as any to get her mope on. Aurica had become so distant. This body was only continuing to fail her. For the first time in a long time, she was not an expert and did not know the absolute best thing to do. She didn't even know the worst thing to do. She was utterly at a loss... but not ready to admit it and seek help.
Sunset was nice. Even a fake sunset in an alien sky was something pretty to watch. She'd do that. Watch the sunset and wait for this to pass.]

[Dakki's eyes are wide and unbelieving. Or at least really, really surprised.]
That's one of those... with the... long faces and the hard hooves, right?

I have to wonder just how this town can pull in so many people from so many radically different worlds....
no subject
Something very powerful. Sometimes I'm not sure fighting it is even possible. I know we can't give up, but sometimes, I... sometimes... [She swallows.]

[Nina's anxiety is picked up on immediately, and Dakki frowns. The can of beans was put into her cart, and she started to move around, a little closer.]
They want us to doubt. I'm having my own doubts... but I don't want to give them the satisfaction of getting one over on me.
[She smirks. It was always easier to be strong for someone else than for yourself.]

[Nina glances up as Dakki maneuvers the cart to get closer to her. She feels suddenly guilty, for making the other woman worry, so she tries to smile.]
Right. You're so right. We can't let them get the better of us.
no subject
If you're ever feeling worried? If you ever need something taken care of? Come get me, alright, Nina?

Thank you, Dakki. You're a good friend.
