"I believe we can make it, as long as we work together!"
Meet the survivor, Mi!
Mi didn't visit the manor much. Honestly, she didn't have much reason to outside of visiting friends and all the people she got along with. But she didn't mind staying at the warehouse either. She liked being with good people like Brendan and Himari! And having a pet bird is cool too, she always wanted to know what that's like! Especially since they can talk. Maybe not to the extent of full conversations, but it was enough to entertain her mind for a while.
It's just- Something's missing. She knew why but didn't understand it.
The small girl wandered into the room after Brendan dropped her off to the new survivor. She didn't really look around because, well, she can't see to begin with. But she still peeked her head around the corner
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
@idv-wayward
"Ah, hello there. You're Mi, I assume? It's wonderful to meet you!"
*He gave off a gentle, warm smile. Even if she couldn't see it, a smile like that could be felt.*
"My name is Mr. Awol, I'm a teacher from Africa. Your guardian has told me about you, and I'm quite excited to help you. May I assist you in getting a seat?"
"Oh... Yeah, that's me. Mi, with an I! It's nice to meet you too Mr. Awol!"
She smiled back at him and stepped a bit closer to him, reaching her hand out to him after waving.
"Oh, you met Brendan already? And yes please!"
"Oh, wonderful! I'm glad you're approaching this with a good attitude, that's often a step that takes time to overcome for some children. Here, I'm going to lead you by the hand, ok? So don't be startled."
*With a gentle lead, he helped Mi to her seat, pulling it out for her as he sat across from her at the table he'd prepared.*
"Now, before we begin with anything academic, I'd love to learn more about you. Not just as a student, but a human being. After all, children are just people but smaller!"
"Okay!"
She kind of needed something like this. She did miss having some semblance of normalcy here, like going to school. It's not that traditional but at least the teacher is nice so far! She gave him a little "thank you!" As she sat across from him.
"Alright! I'm 12 years old, I have two older siblings, and a pet dog! I was taught how to sing and I like... uh, I don't know what the name is but I like the kinds of songs that are like classic music but not really!"
"Oh that's wonderful! I understand how it feels to be the youngest sibling, I have two older sisters and one older brother as well. And I just love dogs, although I've never been able to have one of my own due to the traveling I've been doing."
*He smiles and chuckles to himself a bit, before taking a drink of water.*
"I brought a glass of water for you as well, it's on your left on the table. And don't worry, it has a lid, just in case. Now, if you don't mind me asking, what's your family like?"
"Oh wow, you have three older siblings! That's so cool! And I love dogs too! Mine goes boof instead of bark, he's a big fluffy dog!"
She reached her hand out to the glass, careful to not knock it over as she went for a sip.
"Oh my family's great! My sister's away in college but she's really cool! She wants to be a scientist! My brother still lives with us but he's cool too! He plays with me but he stays in his room a lot. Mom said he's on the computer too much but I know he still cares about me! My parents scare people a lot. They get mad when someone talks about my eyes but they're really nice people! I go shopping with them a lot!"
"Oh how wonderful! And I must say, you have a wonderful way of descriptive speaking! You have an ability to very easily paint a picture in my mind as you talk, which is a fantastic skill to have. Both in life and as a student!"
*He smiled warmly, nodding his head as he jotted down a few notes. He was a very skilled note taker.*
"Your sister wants to pursue a career in science? That's a very admirable goal! And your brother works with... computers? I've heard of the computer during my studies, he must be a scientist as well, yes?"
"Really? Thank you! I can't see so I just use what I hear and feel! People say dogs bark but mine doesn't do that, I think it's because he's a big boy! My brother would put me on him like a horse and he didn't mind! I think I might be too big for him to keep doing that though..."
She didn't frown when she said the latter statement. She just didn't want to accidentally hurt the poor animal if she wanted to keep playing with it.
"Yeah! I dunno what she's doing but I know she wants to be in the lab working with people! And I think my brother might be one too... I know computer science is a thing but I dunno how that works. If it's a mostly visual thing like art then I can't really get it, but I think it'd be cool!"
The small girl wandered into the room after Brendan dropped her off to the new survivor. She didn't really look around because, well, she can't see to begin with. But she still peeked her head around the corner

"Oh, you met Brendan already? And yes please!"
Mi! You doin okay? Need some ice cream or smth?
"Brendan said Bianca's okay, he saw her... But ice cream would be nice... Please?"
"Mi, are you ok? You seem a little down, are you feeling alright?"
- Brendan
"B-Brendan..."
She faced in his general direction, her watch already hanging up from the call at this point. Her hair blocked most of her blindfold, but there was still two faint wet spots there...
"I was calling Bianca and we were talking but she... She just stopped talking... And I heard someone else and— And I don't know what happened..."
@avatar-idv
"W-what?"
*Brendan quickly moved to her and knelt down, pulling her into a hug.*
"Hey, hey, it's ok. I'm sure everything is fine, something might've just happened to the phones or something. I can go check on her to make sure she's alright, ok?"
"She..."
He gave her a hug, which she quickly started to cling onto him like her life depended on it. Which it felt like it did.
"Okay... But I... I heard her fall... I don't know..."
*She fell? Oh no, she might have fainted or something... Hopefully she didn't hurt herself on the way down. He should definitely check on her soon.*
"Hey, I'm right here, it's ok. I'm sure Bianca is fine, she's tough. Tell you what, I'll go check on her just to make sure she's ok, alright? She might've slipped or fainted, so I'm sure she's just resting up right now. I promise, everything will be ok."
She didn't understand what the words meant when the call happened. But something told her that she's not okay, especially with a lack of a response. Usually someone would say something if there was nothing to worry about right?
"Okay... Please go see her I don't— I don't wanna think that she's not okay..."
"Mi, are you ok? You seem a little down, are you feeling alright?"
- Brendan
"B-Brendan..."
She faced in his general direction, her watch already hanging up from the call at this point. Her hair blocked most of her blindfold, but there was still two faint wet spots there...

@avatar-idv
MI NO HONEY ARE YOU OKAY *HUG TIME*
"Thank you..."
She gladly took the hug. Well, she's still sniffling here and there, but at least hugs make her feel better.
"I will! Don't worry Bianca!"
“Mi, happy birthday.”
*Brendan walks into the warehouse with a small birthday cake, a plastic covering shielding it from the outside.*
“I’ve been really busy with everything going on, but I didn’t want to miss it. I’m sorry about that.*
She turned around and smiled brightly when she heard his voice. It was getting a little bit lonely with how hectic the manor was lately, but she knew that he'd come back eventually. But it's not like she knew that, it's not even like anyone told her about the roaming serial killer to begin with.
"Oh my gosh! Thank you dad!!"
She immediately pulled him into a hug, even though he's standing and she's roughly at his waist at best.
@avatar-idv
*He lifted her up a bit in the hug with one arm, making sure to set the cake down so he didn't accidentally drop it.*
"Hey, it's alright! I'm glad you like it though. It's chocolate with vanilla frosting, I wasn't positive which kind you liked and I thought if I asked it might spoil the surprise, so I just kinda had to wing it. But hey, I managed to grab some plates and utensils for the warehouse too!"
She giggled and held onto him, wrapping her arms over his shoulders with a bright smile on her face.
"Aw that's okay! I can tell you now so you can know next time!"
That's— Okay let's just move past that.
"It sounds really good though! Let's eat it together!"
"Well, hopefully there won't have to be a next time and I'll get you home before then. But then again, it's always good to know since it doesn't have to be your birthday to have cake. Sometimes there can just be cake."
*He giggles a bit and shrugs. Spending time with the people he cares about feels like the only time he's ever genuinely happy anymore.*
"Anyway, I'll set the plates for some cake. Want to grab Himari? Is she here, actually?"
"That's true! And it's okay, this place already feels like home to me! Because of you and Himari! And I can go get her! She went outside because she heard—"
Right as he asked about Himari's presence, she walked in as if it was on cue. Pneuma was perched on her shoulder as she was carefully closing the door behind her. Seeing the two of them, she smiled softly as the bird squawked a friendly greeting at them.
"Hi!"
"You're back sooner than I thought... Although I wouldn't want to miss Mi's birthday either."
She lightly chuckled while the little girl gasped.
"Oh! She's back already!"
"Hey Himari, and yeah, I know things have been kinda... hectic. But luckily I'm not the only one working on it, and this is important as well. Besides, I really need to water the plants as well..."
*He sighs a bit and shakes his head, adjusting his hat.*
"Anyway, no point worrying about it at this second. I got cake. Well, I made it. Same thing. Want some? I know we don't have a table and stuff, but I got some plates so we can just sit on the ground for now."
"It's alright. I haven't stepped foot into the manor since that whole... mess started. But I hope everyone has been alright, including you. I also don't mind, I still wanna celebrate with you both either way."
Mi went over to give Himari a hug before she guided her for them to both sit down on the floor. She gave Pneuma a command and the raven went off, away from them. It landed on the ground before hopping around.
"Sorry, birds can't have cake, it's bad for their health."
"That's okay! You're the doctor after all!"
"You want me to water the plants for you if you're gone for this long again? I know how to make sure they're growing well at least."
"Oh man, if you could help water the garden while I'm out that would be a total lifesaver. It's pretty much the only way to get fresh food without stealing it. ...Don't steal, Mi. I'm a bad example. I didn't steal this cake I made it."
*He didn't steal the cake but he did technically steal the ingredients to make the cake.*
"Anyway, hopefully things should be getting better soon, it's not like the... uh, the bad guy can run forever. And with more and more people looking, there shouldn't be many safe spaces left for them anymore."
"Okay! Stealing is bad, I can still tell when things don't belong to me anyway!"
"That's good Mi. AndI'll take care of that for you then. I do hope it's all over soon. I know we would hate to have you get hurt again, along with some others."
She glanced over at Mi even though she couldn't glance back, but he pretty much got the idea.
"Yeah! Just come back safe! Wait why is there a bad guy in the manor?"
No one told her the context.
*Brendan sighed, nodding his head. Well, if she's gonna ask, he's not gonna lie to her. Although he doesn't need to give out all the yucky details.*
"There's a bad guy hiding in the manor, a criminal. They've done some bad stuff, and has hurt people, so we're trying to find them and stop them."
*He nodded as he started to serve the cake.*
"Don't worry, I'll be ok. It's just important that you guys stay safe here until everything is all good."
"Oh no! I hope you guys catch them soon. I don't want anyone to get hurt especially if they're my friends!"
Himari helped her hold onto her plate while she made sure Pneuma didn't try to snag a piece or two.
"I'll still stay away from the manor for now. You stay with me too until it's all over, alright Mi?"
"Ok! And you stay safe too dad!"
“Mi, happy birthday.”
*Brendan walks into the warehouse with a small birthday cake, a plastic covering shielding it from the outside.*
“I’ve been really busy with everything going on, but I didn’t want to miss it. I’m sorry about that.*
