{{Canon point is the morning of October 4th, Episodes 1-6. So before any murders happen. I finished the series years ago, but avoiding spoilers for my toplevel.}}
Arrival - the garage [It was probably obvious to anyone who looked at Natsuhi. Just going from the jewels of her earrings, the elaborate and fine fabric of her dress. Natsuhi was horrifically out of place lying there on the concrete floor of the garage.
She'd only ever slept in the coziest of beds and futons.
That said she'd still not risen. She was awake, her blurry eyes were open as she looked at the ceiling. Just taking in the stains, the markings. Blinking as she tried to comprehend the situation.
After heaving a deep sigh, she shifted, pulling her body up. Pausing to frown as she flattened out a section of her dress.]
What..? [Then she stiffened. The memories rushing back to her. She'd been up, she'd gotten dressed and had been making the final rounds of the mansion before the guests arrived. The frown deepened as she mentally ran through the places on the island she could be... The shed?
Then her head snapped up to scowl at the unfamiliar figure she'd noticed. Whomst?]
Outside [Then she'd gone outside. Natsuhi's scowl didn't shift as she took it all in. Quite clearly, she wasn't on Rokkenjima. It didn't make sense, talking to others hadn't helped. She inhaled, bringing a hand up to rub at her temple.
Then she pulled the odd object out of her pocket. Squinting at it.
To someone from a more modern age, they might recognize it as a car fob. To Natsuhi, it didn't register as a key. It was just a lump of plastic with a bit of metal poking out... Not that she'd ever held a normal car key before. But it was in her pocket, alongside her room key and a handkerchief. Someone had to have placed it there. That was reason enough not to discard it.
Then she pressed the little emblem. Not even realising it was a button as her fingers grazed the raised shape.
She squeaked, actually squeaked, flinching away from the horn beeping and lights flashing in response.
....
...
Her eyes flicked to the other person there. Staring wide-eyed at them as her cheeks flushed. Then the scowl was back. Almost challenging them.]
D-did something set off an alarm?
Weathering the storm [Bad weather wasn't new to her. She lived on a remote island which suffered typhoons. Weathering it when all they had were verchiles and a small diner would be annoying, but doable.
Then the windows burst. Natsuhi had, for once in her life, been lucky enough to dodge the worst of it. But it'd gotten her moving. Her luck had ran out there though. The light glinting off of her broach had caught the attention of a 'bird'.
It hadn't swooped. Instead choosing to hop from perch to perch as it followed her, tilting it's head, silently watching. ]
Deludge (cw:body horror, sneks, tooth horror) [Of course the creature wouldn't wait forever. Eventually it got bored of watching the human it's shiny new bauble was attached to. It lunged, crashing into Natsuhi before it pulled up. Watching her as she remained on the ground where she'd been thrown.
It'd probably expected a bit more retaliation really.
But Natsuhi was far from athletic, with the water weighing her dress down she wasn't exactly mobile. Nor did she have any experience with the weapons on hand. It wasn't as though she had a polearm to hand and well....It was several times larger than her.
Then there was the blood. Natsuhi had never really been injured in her life. She crouched there, shivering, a hand coming up to press at the split lip. Fingers coming back red.
It didn't take long for the bird to realise she was no threat. Then it lunged again, this time reaching out with it's sharp talons.
But neither it or Natsuhi had been prepared for the water to physically rise and splash out at it when Natsuhi had brought a hand up to cover her face.
It landed, looking cautious again even if it didn't seem afraid.
It was kind of hard to be afraid of a little housewife, crumpled on the floor, even if the claws on her raised hand looked sharp.]
Silly sneks [Natsuhi was still shaken after that. Chosing to hide in the relative safety of the convoy, not really speaking to anyone unless she had a reason. Ocassionally as she sat there, one might notice her toung poking out, doing a little flicker. Then Natsuhi would realise, frown and cover her mouth.]
Wildcard [lmk if you want anything custom or none of these fit. For the TDM I'm going with naga traits but that's just due to the event.

She was not built for this.]
