insurance must be having a time

Who: Maki, you
When: The aftermath of the crystal hailstorm on the 16th
Where: The DU office
What: Regular office stuff... and a public art project?

[1) the front desk]

At this time of year, the biggest worries would normally be cleanup after the DU anniversary celebration and kids coming in complaining about their midterm results. Unfortunately this is not, in fact, the case.

Maki can be found at the front desk, dealing with not an IT problem but a stack of emails and running a hand through her own hair. She looks up.

"Anyone got any tips for office insurance claims for rocks falling from the sky? Asking for a friend."

[2) still the lobby, but???]

Well, as long as all that sky crystal has been littering the ground for a few days and the adjusters have finally come to look at it, they can't just leave the mess outside, can they?

Maki's got work gloves on and has trucked in a bunch of the weird crystal and fallen debris, and she's... working it into a large wire sculpture? It's hard to tell what it's supposed to be, but maybe it doesn't really matter. She looks up at anyone passing.

"Hey. The emails died down, so I thought I'd do some cleanup. You wanna help, there's more gloves over there. Careful of the broken glass."

[Keiwa listens quietly as Maki talks. But his expression droops when she brings up her old acting career]

Maybe he is just worried and isn't very good at showing it. [pause] If you haven't been contacting them, they might not know what you've been doing.

[with some amusement;] Nee-chan would probably tear up the city if I went radio silent. [then, quietly, like he's worried that the person he's talking about might hear him] Hana-chan might help her with that too...

[a laugh]

Nee-chan and Hana-chan can be very passionate! [he does a little fist pump, as if for emphasis] But it's because they care.

[it does mean that he can't bring himself to ignore either of their texts... The opposite problem from Maki, it seems like]

[nod nod]

They don't really get on my nerves. [his temper is so mild that someone getting on his nerves is most certainly a feat unto itself] But getting along is normal for family, right? Even if there's the occasional disagreement...

[pause, then hesitatingly;] It's not really my place to ask but... Is there no one else in your family you can talk to?

[another pause before he continues] Even if you parted on bad terms, it's important to reach out to them! You never know when or if something might happen and they're just... gone.

[a sheepish smile as he mumbles an almost reflexive 'sorry' to start. He didn't mean to sound so pushy... But-] I'll be cheering you on!

Haha... [deflates a little, then;] Maybe not, but I'll cheer you on anyway.

Huh? I don't think that's an uncommon sentiment though...
