What: As the end of the world inches closer, Nozomi wanders around, wondering what she could do
Warnings/Notes: Violence and language

A) April 7 - Nakagawa

Nozomi could feel the tenseness of the citizens. Sitting on the steps of her house, she can see various citizens doing their best to go on with their lives, but there was a air of gloom and doom. Things were going bad and they could see that even one of their saviors seemed helpless. But, the offered smiles, no matter how forced it was, was enough to at least reassure Nozomi.

"...we have to do something. But, what?" she muttered, musing. What did they miss? There had to be something they missed.

B) April 8 - Curti Center

"Wh... where is everyone?!" Nozomi uttered in surprise. She and her Moogle Koko came to see what was going on within the building they first arrived in, only to find it really empty.

"I think everyone home..." Koko said. "I don't blame them, kupo. It's a little worrisome what may happen."

"Well, we have to try something, right?" Nozomi said, wandering around. "Maybe we can find something... anything!"

"Oh, Nozomi..." Koko uttered, shaking her head before following after her partner. "At this point, I don't think we can do much."

C) April 9 - Sparks Golsaucia

"Hey! Hey, you!"

Nozomi had arrived at the Golsaucia, intending on finding something to take her mind off of everything going on, only to be stopped by a group of people, glaring at her.

"Me? What's wrong?" She asked.

"What's wrong? You know what's wrong!" a man said. "This is all your fault! You and the rest of those otherworlders!" Hearing this caused Nozomi's eyes to go wide. "Stop acting stupid, you bitch! You only came here to destroy our world! If you all weren't here, we'd still be alive!"

"W-W-Wait a minute!" Nozomi stammered. "That's not fair! We're trying our best; this isn't our fault, but we're trying to fix it!"

"Shut up!" a woman said. "You and your kind are nothing but a menace! You need to go away!"

"You must understa--!" Nozomi began to say before one threw a rock at her head, striking her and causing her to lose her glasses.

"Hit her again!" "Try to take her Asterisks!" "She needs to be used as an example!"

"Stop it... please!" Nozomi cried out. God, who could show up to save her?

This had been happening more and more lately. Those that weren't simply boarding their windows and praying for the best, or simply drinking and waiting to see if they'd die were the ones who lashed out, demanding the lot of them do something.

The remainder...? Shitheads like these.

It was the roar of a beast that echoed over the square before the flash of a blade cleaved through a second stone hurled from whatever crowd had gathered to torment the girl. The figure was tall, fully equipped for some sort of monster attack, but there were flecks of... no, not blood, ketchup. Bits of trash. Seemed she wasn't the only one putting up with a bit of heckling today.

Rather than address the mob, he stooped without a word to gather up the glasses, his back turned to them. He gave them a brief inspection before handing them back.

"Stupid question... you okay?"

The door behind her opens and Corrin is there. "Hey, Nozomi." She says quietly as she closes the door and carefully sits down on the steps next to her. She's carrying two glasses of an iced tea she's come to enjoy in her time here, one of which she offers to Nozomi. "Here." The house seems dark and empty right now and she could really use the company.

Corrin looks out across the street and sees much the same thing Nozomi does. "It's getting bad out there." She observes.

Walking the beat has been rough these past few days. Tyzias couldn't say she was ill-suited for it anymore, though. Her months on Vaikuntha had turned her into more than a desk jockey, and Tyzias couldn't honestly say she liked the change. Being able to enact justice on her own terms was nice, true... but loath as she was to admit it she missed sitting down to read through ancient scrolls, the study grind, the platonic irritation of bickering with friends (Tagora and Tegiri were friends with her, now that she thought about it; it was a weird thing to process) over a piece of obscure legal text. Tyzias missed it all deeply.

But being a beat cop did have its perks. For instance, she could disperse a mob far easier when she had a badge on her belt. Before the angry mob can even register her presence, handcuffs are clicking around the wrists of the person who threw the first rock. "Break it up, people," she says, calm as can be. Icy waves of [Intimidation] roll off her and through the crowd. "Or I'm going to have to charge you with disturbing the peace."
