[ota] It leaves us with regrets and picks apart the threads
Who: Clementine + you
Where: Mansion
When: April 5 - 12. Plus, all of April and May
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Clementine returns from her canon update. Feel free to reply to the network post here since I won't actually spam the network community too. Action spam or prose is totally cool with me.
The Story: First week and a half
It's warm.
She's felt like she was freezing since she fell into the lake of ice. Was that really just yesterday? It's warm here. Her hands press to grass, and she stares at the ground, shuddering because she thinks the frozen water might have seeped into her blood. She knows it's warm but she still feels cold.
She's back in Wonderland. A rush of memories, of emotion hits her. There are so many people she cares about here, and she hasn't seen them since she left, and it feels like she's been gone for years instead of- days. Weeks? Time is funny.
AJ isn't in her arms anymore. It's just him and her now. Seems right. She can't trust people anymore.
Now that the adrenaline has faded away, the bullet wound in her shoulder hurts like fucking hell. She killed someone else she cared about. Again. Does she even belong in this place with people who are good, who do what's right? If they knew, what the fuck would they think of her. She feels like she might be sick, but there's nothing in her stomach to puke anyway so it's just her insides twisting around like knots.
She pulls her network device out, texting a quick open network post, because she won't remember everyone she'll want to text to let them know:
It's Clementine. I'm back. In my room.
If anyone is up at night, they might run into her, a child with blood on the shoulder of her jacket with a very clear hole through it. No gun for once. She left it with the last dead body she's left behind her.
When she finally makes it into her room. She writes the names of more dead people on the wall (Sarita, Sarah, Luke, Rebecca, Kenny). She pulls out blankets from the closet and piles them on the bed and puts herself underneath them, but it doesn't help with the cold. She tries to get out of the damn jacket, but she hisses out pain and stops midway. She stays there for a week and a half without leaving.
Rest of April/May
Eventually, later in the month, she finally leaves her room again. She's got the small shot gun from Christmas with her, holstered to her back.
She's in the cafeteria in short sleeves, which means she's revealing a certain scar for the first time since she came to Wonderland. Sometimes she's reading books about taking care of babies as if osmosis will happenif when she's sent back. Somewhere in between reading how often they have to feed and sleep, she tosses the book away from her so hard that it almost hits somebody.
Then she picks up baking. She used to with her mother all the time, and if she can kill people and survive walkers and gun shots and ice lakes, she can make some cookies if the recipes right there, right? Maybe.
She ends up making a big mess in the kitchen as she tries to spoon big chunks of cookie dough out on to pans, smirking at her giant mess. It's kind of hilarious she can survive so much and fight so hard and then get defeated by cookie dough.

"The bad there is truly the dark wizards," he admits. "The inferi are just tools they use. Dangerous tools, but it's truly the wizards themselves to fear."
He nodded. "We were just past a war, in my time, wherein a dark wizard sought to out our world and to imprison muggles. Or worse." He didn't believe his world was better, not with what he had been dealing with before he came here, he just wished people had a choice in it here, and not constant events that were more bad than good.
"Oh. Oh." He isn't even sure what else to say, hands balling up, fighting the urge to scoop that poor child up and just hug her until she kicked him in the shins to get away. "I'm so sorry."
no subject
She hates there's nothing anyone can do to change it.
Her gaze darts over to him. She swallows and shakes her head before she gets more dough on to a spoon and sets it on the pan.
"Me too. It happened years ago now." She shrugs. Sometimes she forgets stuff about her parents like the sound of their voice or- small things but important things. Not cause of Wonderland but just cause people forget stuff.

"Well, you're not alone here," he notes. "Which I hope helps. I know there's none from my world here, and I'm glad to have others here who I can make a life here with. Like learning to make cookies," he says, giving her a bright smile, even as he reaches over and baps Andy's paw lightly as the pyjak reaches to try and steal dollop of cookie dough.
no subject
She's been taught otherwise, and there's no changing it.
"I'm glad you have that too. That we both do," she says and then gestures to the oven. "I think this pan's ready. Then Andy can have some leftover dough. Maybe not all of it."
Who knows how all that sugar might affect him?
no subject
"A bit more for him, though I'm still learning his diet. When he gets excited though, he rushes off and when he returns, it's with pieces of things I don't recognize. I suspect they're technology that remind him of his world.
"I hate that I'll have to break him of the habit, for the sake of everyone. Perhaps I can teach him to find other types of items. Without taking them from others."
no subject
It'd be cool to learn anyway. She gets down with the pan in hand and then sets it into the oven, shutting it and setting the timer.
See? She can follow directions on a recipe. Kinda.
"Might be a good skill. I know some people who are pretty attached to their stuff."
no subject
"I will do my best not to let you get hurt," he vows, giving her a smile as if he is capable of doing that.
Newt smiles then. "I have felt lucky know one has come following him back to my room, yelling."
