~ It seems like Iphigenia has wandered into the garden. She sits down on the grass as she bites into a tomato she picked straight off the vine. The sun is shining. The tomato is ripe, just like all the fruits in Bownes’s garden. Maybe she’ll have some figs when she’s done with the tomato. Maybe she’ll have another tomato. Maybe she’ll have ten tomatoes. Because the sun is shining and, she’s alive. Against everything that should’ve been, she’s alive under the sun. For the longest time, she had considered herself a dead girl, rotting parts put together by divine intervention in an era not her own. But perhaps with the warmer weather rolling around, a new thought has occurred to her. By gods, she’s alive. She’s so alive. More alive than she was back in Mycenae. More alive than she’s ever been. Things are good. She gets to eat tomatoes in a garden while soaking in the sun. What more could she ask for? ~

~ Well, maybe some more books would be nice. But aside from that, she’s more than content. ~

:(

~ She wonders to herself, if she is dead or alive. Shouldn’t be dead, shouldn’t be alive either. ~

*patpat*

~ She sniffles a little. She hugs one of the pillows tightly as tears run down her face. She’s finally taken off that pink scarf, and the scar along her neck is visible. ~

~ It seems like Iphi has taken Bownes’s laptop while he was asleep, and slowly figured out how to use the search engine. She’s read the entire Wikipedia article for guns. Unfortunately, she made the mistake of looking up “Mycenae”. ~

~ She knew her kingdom had been long gone. But seeing the ruins of her home wrecked her in a way she hadn’t anticipated. So here she is, laying in bed, teary eyed, with this strange glowing screen tucked under the covers with her as she scrolls through images of a place she once called home. A place she’ll never see again. ~

WOOOOO GUN SAFETY TIME!

Yippee!!

[A knock on the door. It seems someone has come for a visit.]

((-@dream-of-elias ))

~ Iphigenia peers out the window and lights up when she see’s Elias outside. She opens the door for him, waving hello. ~

Elias!! Hello!!

~ She turns around and peers into the living room, where it looks like Scare and Bownes are watching a movie together on his laptop. Bownes waves hello from the couch and Iphigenia makes a shh motion with her finger. In a more hushed tone, she says; ~

Right, we must be quiet, they are watching theatre together. Moving picture.. moving.. movie, yes, they’re watching a movie.

~ Iphigenia stays close by Bownes’s side as he cooks. For a while, they’re silent, Bownes humming a tune as he prepares the dough. Finally, Iphigenia speaks up. ~

You must already know what happened to me. Where I’m from.

[Elias enters the garden, holding something.]

hi. I'm back.

[He offers the muffin to Iphigenia.]

~ It seems she left her room after the whole encounter with the CD. She heard Elias, but doesn’t look at him. Not immediately. She’s staring at something. ~

~ The fig tree is glowing pink. So are some of the surrounding plants in the garden. ~
