I. Just Walk it off

[At first, she blamed it on the lack of sleep. Stressing over the fog was never going to do her any favors, either. Illness is perfectly natural under these conditions, but now a week has passed, and what she assumes to be a fever follows after her with more tenacity than the neighborhood ghosts. Sakura has tried every concoction and dubious family recipe that has promised results short of sending her to the hospital, but at this point it's gotten ridiculous and she's better served pretending nothing is wrong.

So that's exactly what she does. Grocery shopping, running errands, hitting up a local costume store, or just falling asleep at a local cafe - it's the daily routine of one Sakura Tohsaka, so pay no attention to her concernedly flushed face or that she is constantly in danger of running into things.

... Like you, for instance.]

しまった-- Ah, I'm really sorry about that!

[Just gonna pick up everything that fell out of her tote bag: a large bell, black paint, ribbons, devil horns... and a little automated device that goes "MOOO" when it bounces on the ground.]

II. Wind Shenanigans

[Sick or no, there isn't a force on earth that will keep Sakura from heading to the park so she can get some daily drawing finished. The spring semester is right around the corner, and she's got a portfolio to complete if she wants to attend Recollé U.

Luckily the fog is relatively light this early afternoon, pushed aside by a heavy breeze. It's unlikely she'll see anymore demonic figments of her memories, so she settles against a nearby tree, pulls out her sketchbook, and--

And the wind promptly snatches five loose pieces out of her tote bag, scattering them in all directions. Because of course it did. Cue her leaping to her feet and yelling in Japanese as she tries to chase down those drawings, oh God, she can't verify any of them work safe--

One of them ends up being snagged out of the air by a tree branch, and that's the first one Sakura heads for. She's got this, she climbed trees all the time in her youth. It probably looks strange for a girl in a skirt to be scaling one, but hey, stranger, if you've got time to stare, you've got time to help her down when she gets stuck.]

III. Welcome to Hell-nyaa (=^-ω-^=)

[You know what cures a bad mood? Kittens, that's what.

And seeing as she's been meaning to take a trip to one of the local shelters anyway, this seems the perfect time for it. More than ever, she can't stand being in an apartment by herself. She might be eighteen, but Sakura is painfully aware how she'll judge herself with no one else to do the leg work, so maybe a companion will quell that part of her...? Who even knows.

The shelter she picks is a bit of a zoo, pun not intended. One look speaks for how understaffed the place is, but the volunteers are sweet and nod her in the direction of the cats, who stare at her from inside the cages, some eyeing her with feline vanity while others immediately walk up to inspect her. A few even lick her fingers when she wiggles them near their noses.

So this is how she dies. Caught in indecision and already embracing her newfound future as a cat lady. Someone send help or she'll be here all day]

IV. Wildcard

[Y'know, if I forgot a thread we were supposed to do or you have an idea you wanna throw at me. +_+]
