#24 [action] - frustration

[morning @ House 44]
[Koakuma begins her day the same way she usually does: by nearly faceplanting her way out of bed. Once she's awake—or close enough to it—she glances across the room, and her expression immediately goes from tired to sour. Patchouli still isn't back yet, and while she is admittedly-worried, Koa is also angry that she hadn't been picked to go and help.

Leaving her room in a slight hurry and heading to the kitchen to decide what to eat, she can't help but notice that Adell is still not present as well—which only serves to worsen her mood. She does remain in the house for awhile, but pretty soon, she decides that she needs to do something and keep herself busy and take her mind off of things. Her first thought in that regard is to try to do some work, so it's off to the library for her.]

[early/mid-afternoon @ library]
[At the library, she goes about her usual business, which mostly involves re-shelving any returns. There aren't too many that need to be put back this time, so this diversion—unfortunately for her—turns out to be short-lived. With little work to actually do, she starts reading random books instead...which similarly proves to be no real help at all. Eventually she gives this up out of frustration, leaves a note for Estelle to say she might be back later, and heads out to just...walk around.]

[late afternoon/early evening @ lake]
[Her walk eventually leads her to the lake. It's thankfully not snowing this time, but the wind is still somewhat-annoying. She makes a couple laps around the lake itself, looking directly into it at a couple points but not once thinking of jumping in—it's still too cold for that.

Eventually, she stops, and starts looking around in slight confusion. Just like the last time she was out here, she could almost swear that she hears something. It isn't anyone's voice, that much is clear... Maybe she's just imagining things again. Maybe. After an investigation into this, taking upwards of an hour this time rather than just a few minutes, she continues her walk, then is on her way back to the library for a minute, and then eventually back to the house.]

[evening @ House 44]
[Housemates in particular may notice that when she returns, Koa seems a little distracted compared to how she was earlier in the day...almost lost in thought, which might be a first.]

(ooc: As usual, note the time-of-day and location when tagging. Additionally, catching her on the way to or from these places is okay.)
