If mommy told me not to talk to someone while at school, but that someone really really wanted me to talk to them, what should I do???

... why would your mom not want you to talk to them?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Because she said the other kids might think it's weird!! I dunno why!

[prick-in-threes.livejournal.com]

Why would they think it's weird??

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Because she says no-one else talks to them!! But it's sad and lonely and the other kids swing on it and it hurts it! I tell them to stop but they just say "You're weird go away!"

[prick-in-threes.livejournal.com]

That's mean! Why would people do that?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Because they're mean!!!

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

...what're we talking about here?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

The tree in the playground!! I'll draw it...



...there!! See! It's sad because it's a small tree and other kids swing on it and hurt it really bad!

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Oh...hooboy...

Uhhh....I'll get back to you on this one, okay, kid?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Okay, big sis Isabel!!

A couple minutes later, Isabel is knocking at the door of Sayuri and Tomoko's apartment.

*Not long after she knocks, Sayuri answers the door. She smiles when she sees Isabel and greets her.*

Hello Isabel. It's nice to see you.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

"Hiya, Sayuri." Isabel scratches her nose. "So uh. I hear Tomoko's been. Talkin' to trees again."

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

*Sayuri falls silent as the smile gradually dissapears off her face. Rubbing her eyes, she steps aside to let Isabel walk in*

Come in.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Isabel nods. "Thanks." She walks inside, and pauses briefly.

"...are you okay?"

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

I'm okay, just... worried I guess. I knew people would start questioning it sooner or later, because I have too.

*She closes the door and goes into the living room to sit down*

I thought she was playing a game with it all but... I'm not sure if she is or not.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

"...yeah." Isabel rubs her head. "This whole time, I wasn't sure whether she was pretending or not, but...starting to seem like she's not."

"Or maybe she's just really stubborn."

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

She CAN be stubborn sometimes, I'll give her that... but...
... usually, once she knows I'm onto her or that I've had enough of one game, she'll drop it. She's been doing this since she was four and the older she's become the more she's been doing it.

Then I remember how I thought the duel spirits were just her imagination before I could see them for myself.

*Sayuri places her head in her hands*

I just wish I knew what was going on with her. It's like she's seeing a completely different world to what I am sometimes.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

"..." Isabel pauses, thinking for a moment. She can't think of much of any explanation besides...

"...have you considered that she...might be like me and my dad?"

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

*Sayuri looks up at her*

A Psychic Duelist...?

*Sayuri thinks for a moment*

No-one has mentioned any problem when she's been dueling, though maybe it's because she's new to it...I don't know, but... I can't think of any other explanation as to why she's been doing what she's been doing.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

"I've never heard of psychic abilities manifesting themselves this way, either..." Isabel rubs her head.

"If you want, we could take her to the Arcadia Movement and get her tested."

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

*Sayuri slowly nods in agreement*

Okay. I think that will be for the best. Hopefully it'll at least let us know something about what's going on with her.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

Isabel nods.

"Okay. I'll call and set up an appointment for tomorrow."

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

*Sayuri looks over at Isabel and smiles a little at her*

Thank you, Isabel.

Re: Event

[sees-the-sea.livejournal.com]

"Do you wanna tell her or should I?"

Re: Event

[sketchthepast.livejournal.com]

It's probably for the best if I sit her down and have a little talk with her about it later.

[isdragonlady.livejournal.com]

... This definitely sounds troublesome. And I'm unsure what you should do here. I'd say it's up to you, though.

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

I dunno what to do either.

[cloaksansdagger.livejournal.com]

The tree talks to you?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Yeah!! It wants me to talk back but mommy says I can't, but I feel bad because nobody else talks to it and all they do is swing on the branches and hurt it!!

[cloaksansdagger.livejournal.com]

I see. And have other trees talked to you before?

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

All the time!

[cloaksansdagger.livejournal.com]

That does explain why your mother wouldn't want you to talk back.

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

Huh?? But why?

[cloaksansdagger.livejournal.com]

Hm...how to explain...

Grown-ups tend to think children about your age have trouble telling the difference between things that are real and things that are make-believe. So when they don't understand something that you say you've done or that you say you've seen, they tend to think you imagined it.

[sketchthefuture.livejournal.com]

So people won't believe me again...?? Just like when I said I lived with unicorns...
...but I'm telling the truuuuth...

[cloaksansdagger.livejournal.com]

...Ah...hrm.
