[This isn't the first time Sayaka has woken up in a place that she didn't expect; at least the first time had the courtesy of being the place she actually intended to go, even if the circumstances were far from ideal. To wake up in a place this different, that feels almost like a dream or something different in entirety...it's not something that puts Sayaka at ease at all. No, she needs to get back, to what she knows, to those that miss her, to everything familiar--
But despite the mental turmoil in her head, the blue haired girl is all smiles and ease; to any untrained eye, she almost appears fine with this. She's always been pretty good at keeping her anxieties locked away, and despite everything, despite everything she refuses to acknowledge, she knows what she has to be. An idol. A symbol. More than anything, if she can do that for at least one person--
Well, she will. She has to, doesn't she?
Sayaka presses forward, and when the path diverges--well, that's when she might come across you. With practiced ease, Sayaka smiles and folds her hands in front of herself.]
Excuse me? I hope I'm not being a bother, but... [Sayaka looks to either side, the side of the light or the dark.] I have to admit, I'm not exactly sure which direction we should be going in. Could we maybe walk together for a bit?
[Basically, you choose your own adventure here. Sayaka's always been pretty good at following, after all.]
waiting
[So the trip here is anything but peaceful, all be told. Sayaka goes quietly, if rather nervously, onto the boats containing those who woke up with her; it's probably the most emotion she's ever shown in her time here, but she is positively freaked out the whole way through. Mostly just shuddering and shaking, wondering--is this all just going to end up like Hope's Peak, that her dreams have died entirely and yet she's still going on--
And yet, if anything, that's what manages to keep Sayaka going to a certain extent. She can't be the idol that everyone at home needs, but...perhaps she could be like those heroines, those selfless women she's seen in various shows and news stories. Sure, it's another unrealistic standard to hold herself to, but she's been an idol. It surely can't be much worse than that, can it?
So she tries to keep hope. Tries to talk to people, tries to analyze and look out for them; she may be acting her part as a helpful young lady, but if she wants a chance to keep living in this new world, she should make friends, right? People who are strong, perhaps. People who can keep her safe. Sure, she'll try to serve as an inspiration, but it's not selfish to want to survive and maybe try to help others do the same, right?
Well, Sayaka doesn't really know, but she also doesn't care. She wants to live, and she has to adapt or she'll be forgotten. And as a (potentially former) idol, that's worse than death itself.
She may be around doing any multitude of things; trying to keep morale up, for one. Joining people, getting to know them--for instance, you might have her coming up and waving to you, walking over tentatively.]
Excuse me, but...do you mind if I join you for a bit?
[Of course, she's also keeping an eye out for those injured by the guards--sure, some people are going against them and getting some just desserts in a way, but Sayaka can't help but find it a touch disgusting. If you happen to be injured, well...if nothing else, Sayaka's good at replicating things she's seen on Tv. Tearing some of the bottom of her robes up into a long strip, she might come over to you if you're injured, concern dripping from her face.]
Hey, are you doing okay? You don't exactly look too good...
[Or maybe even at dinner, you might be getting some food passed to you. Not that Sayaka isn't hungry--because she is, she completely is. But it's...selfless, isn't it? To make sure those who may not be getting anything to eat for whatever reason can do so. So if you happen to be one of those people...]
Here. You probably need this more than me, right?
