Stupid Rock (Open)

Mimi concluded that the person standing over her was a girl, based on her high pitched voice and Mimi's eyes had finally adjusted. The girl was offering Mimi help, which usually Mimi was quick to decline. However, her knee is totally jacked up and she can't move, so Mimi would appreciate a helping hand. The girl said,"Aren't you a little young to be saying 'Hell......?' Ah, screw it. Can you get up?" No, I'm just laying here for the hell of it, Mimi thought but didn't say. Instead, Mimi replied,"No. Can you help me miss?". She said this in her I'm-just-an-innocent-little-girl voice. It usually works.

In a way Mimi was a little annoyed by the fact that this girl had commented on her cursing. Just because she's eight, doesn't mean she uses stupid phrases like "Oh, poop!" or "Your a fart face!". Mimi was surprisingly more mature than that. But not that much more. So, Mimi was semi-glad about the girls arrival. Now if only she could help her up and get her to medical assistance, or at least shut up about the cussing.

Wow, this chick talks alot , Mimi thought. She was able to stifle a giggle when she was lifted into a sitting position, then to her feet by Raeoki. The pain was excruciating, and this made Mimi forget all about Raeoki's talkative nature. She let out a slight quiet gasp. It was so slight that Raeoki didn't notice. Raeokie asked about where to take Mimi, which Mimi immediately thought, definitely not my house. That situation would be kind of embarrassing. Plus, who knew what Mimi's parents would do to poor Raeoki.

Mimi had no idea what an arbitrary was or where the nearest one is. So she just said, "Just carry me to the first one you can think of, pwease?". Mimi did that cute little girl thing again, pronouncing "please" as if she had an adorable lisp. Anyone who knew her personally would know that she was the exact opposite of adorable. For Mimi, it was almost too easy to take advantage of the soft hearted and minded people. She used her helplessness to get people to help her out, or do her work. It's just who Mimi is.

Mimi liked the name "Raeoki". For some reason it reminded her of ramen noodles. She giggled to herself, causing Raeoki to look down at her quizzically. Mimi acted like she didn't notice. Oh yeah, she asked my name.... Mimi considered making up a fake name but Raeoki was helping her after all. "It's Mimi. Mimi Malone." she ended up saying. They were almost to the apothecary.

Maybe they will have some medicine to stop this pain Mimi though wearily. She had lost alot of blood; she had a headache and her vision was getting blurry. The pain in her was awful, especially when she put weight on it. And her energy was almost completely gone. It was like she only had enough to breath. Almost there, she kept reminding herself.

Raeoki complimented Mimi's name as she pushed open the front door of the apothecary. Wow, this place is so...... dirty. Everything seemed to be old and covered in muck. Random empty jars lined the counter tops. A feeling hit Mimi. It was the sort of feeling you get when the teacher catches you doing something you aren't supposed to be doing. Mimi almost instantly figured out this wasn't the apothecary. Raeoki sat her on top of the island in the center of the room. Mimi examined the empty jars everywhere, half of her self wanting to know what they were for and the other half was too scared to find out.

"He-----ello? Raeoki called. When no one answered a knife of fear stabbed her in the gut. Mimi's hands were sweating. She just wanted to leave. Her knee would eventually heal on it's own. This house, shack, whatever it is, is freaking Mimi out. She then had a ping of anger toward this Raeoki chick. She brought her here. She should know what to do. Mimi looked around the room frantically, like the boogie man would pop out or something.

"Mimi," Raeoki said," I think I messed up". These words enraged Mimi. Raeoki thought she messed up? Pfft, for all she knew they were in some cannibals house! Mimi glared at Raeoki forgetting her sweet adorable little girl act, forgetting that Raeoki was a decent person. "Obviously, you took me to some freak's shack! How the hell can you mistake this for a freaking apothecary!" Mimi practically snarled. She half expected Raeoki to criticize on her use of "hell" again, but she didn't care. For once in her whole entire life, Mimi Malone wanted to go home.

Mimi fell a ping of regret when she saw Raeoki's expression after Mimi exploded at her. She looked so hurt, so fragile. Mimi instantly forgot about this when Raeoki yelled right back at her. Words were nothing to Mimi. Compared to what she has been through, words are like tooth picks compared to the giant ninja swords Mimi has had to face. Mimi raised her eyebrows at Raeoki's outburst, amused that it didn't take much to turn her to tears. Mimi decided it was best to control what she says and put on that mask of no emotion.

Raeoki started searching through all of the cupboards and drawers. Mimi had to admit, this girl had nerve. Mimi would have just gotten out of there to find a real apothecary. Either Raeoki was just lazy, or she really wanted to help Mimi. Raeoki miraculously found some disinfectant spray and bandages. She sprayed the stuff on her knee and bandaged Mimi up. Mimi flinched at the spray because it stung like heck, but soon faded to a nice cool feeling. Mimi lifted her big brown eyes up to Raeoki's, apology written clear on her face. Raeoki avoided her gaze, however.

"There. Looks like this ratty place had something useful and clean in it after all!" Raeoki said quietly. Mimi nodded, feeling bad now that Raeoki had tried so hard to help her out. She had been so nice to Mimi and this is how she repays her. "Raeoki, I'm sorry" Mimi said, not knowing what else to say, not knowing how to explain herself.

Mimi absolutely did not want to go home, but where else was there? She was hurt, it's not like Mimi could camp out somewhere else. There was no other option, than to let Raeoki carry her home. Mimi sighed not really caring that Raeoki forgave her, just glad there wasn't anymore tension. "Yeah.... I guess you should."

((ooc: Sorry this is so short. What did Raeoki mean last post about Mimi's "reputation"? Just wondering ))
