[ A: 766 bunker street; action. (threeway thread with not!family) ]

[ This milk situation.. Well, there was a rather easy solution to it now thanks to recent events. And while Eva hadn't really been fond of said events (to put it very, very lightly), they had brought her something good. Like an easy way to get through this event.

And so that's how she ended up with the two other (non-droned) people in the house, staring at the milk. ]

So.. [ Her tone is already pretty meaningful. ] Who is going to drink it, hm?

[ B: bunker street; action (open to anyone) ]

[ But later the day takes a turn for the worse, as she goes for her daily visit to her real husband on the other side of the street.. Only to find him droned. And so, after a not very long (very surfacey and polite on his side, much too polite) and yet much too emotionally exhausting (for Eva) conversation, Hideyoshi's drone goes back into his house.

And Eva is left there standing in the middle of Bunker Street, looking more lost than she ever has before. Approach her? ]

[ C: phone; filtered from drones etc. ]

[ Her voice sounds very tight over the phone, and it's very easily noticable that she's forcing herself to hold back a lot of emotion. Maybe that's why her message is short and simple for now. ]

... How do you know whether someone is droned permanently or just for a while?

[ And to take her mind of that-- ] Also.. I'd like to know all the sort of effects the recently delivered milk can have.

[ Her tone is still cold and tight - perhaps even a bit demanding -, but near the end it wavers a little, so she quickly stops talking to prevent everything from spilling out. ]

( action for 766 Bunker Street + tl;dr introspection and Umineko EP7 spoilers. )

Wh-what is going on..?! I demand some form of explanation! If this is supposed to be some sort of dream or even hell, at least have someone come out and say it instead of leaving me in the dark like this! Or if it's something else entirely, at least let me know what for--..

[ Her voice wavers for a moment and she drops a hesitant pause, her uneven breathing clearly audible even over the phone. When she speaks up again her tone sounds more bitter instead of the fury from just now and there's the very, very slight sound of a choked back sob. Eva isn't exactly emotionally stable right now. ]

Heh.. It's not like anything should still surprise me by now, right? After this long, insane night something like this is probably only a natural conclusion.. So, what is it this time..?
