Waking up on the Marsiva

[Manji awakens with a start and falls out of the welcome bunk with a shout.]

RIN! I’M COMING!

[The slam on the floor is what first helps him realise that he’s not where he was before. There wasn’t nearly enough snow.] Where the hell am I? [His voice is gruff and angry. He is in no mood for games as he strides down the hall, a surly, scarred man in a black and white kimono. Missing an arm doesn’t make him any less intimidating.] Where am I? Who is responsible for this!? SHOW YOURSELF!

[Rin was freezing somewhere! He didn’t have time for being out among the stars! He needed to--- wait, did he just pass a window with nothing but stars outside?

He stops and trails back to stare dumbly at the window.] Oh… [Well, that’s different.]


”Accidental” Video - Open to All

[Sometime after Manji and Makie are reunited and have gotten past that whole: My boss wants me to kill your boss thing - oh, god please don’t hurt me Makie awkwardness, the video feed on Manji’s device is turned on-- only the video is very shaky and being filmed upside down.

And there’s a very “mansplainy” voice being broadcast out to everyone.] --and that’s how that works. At least I think it works that way. Now this thing! [The camera is given a vigorous shake.] I’ll be honest. I’m not really sure what this thing is for. I just found it. It’s very loud. Kind of annoying, really.

...here.

[A slender hand reaches into view briefly, and then the communicator is carefully set the right way up. Makie stares down at it briefly, then retreats out of sight to leave Manji staring blankly in her wake.]

Eh? What’d you do that for? [He hasn’t figured out he’s broadcasting yet, but he has figured out one thing.]

Wait. Do you know what this is? [He shakes the camera in Makie’s direction, sounding completely shocked.

Makie...just stares at him. Predictably.]

(OOC: In the video you may get Manji or Makie. If you want just one or the other please let us know! If you want them both in an action thread just let us know otherwise it will just be Manji on action.)

[For a few moments she wonders if she's been misunderstood. But no. It takes her mind a moment to track the thought process, that's all.

It is possible they're all connected. The fact she never got to see Adstring is definitely a point in favour of that position.

Which...is not happy at all. She was meant to live with Lilly, not... go home to that. But at least her life with Anotsu was...]

I wonder where I will go should I leave here again. There are no more memories for me to gain.

[passingthrough]

Wish I knew. [For both of them. She's not terribly surprised, but she is sad to learn Makie had met her end back there.]

Are you okay now? Do you need a doctor?

[They can be dead frands together.]

...I think so. My illness is only incurable in my time, I think.

[Ironically, it isn't what killed her.]

[video]

[passingthrough]

[Death buddies!]

That's some bad timing.

[Hard to be surprised by that. Not that she can hear brackets of course.]

[video]

[She smiles at that. In her own faint, barely there way, but--]

It is something I can look forward to, at least.

[Being able to breathe again.]

[video]

[passingthrough]

Sure. And having your things back. We didn't clear your room since we didn't need the space.

[video]

[therewerefifty]

[Oh.]

My... weapon is still there?

[video]

[passingthrough]

It should be. I haven't checked the space in a little while, but it didn't seem like things were disappearing. No promises though.

[video]

[therewerefifty]

[That's something. Maybe last time she didn't want the weapon so much, but things change. Her worth is in her skill.]

I will come to look, if that's... all right.

[video]

[passingthrough]

Of course it's all right. Look, I don't know if this will be reassuring or depressing, but the Twin Roses is your home. [And she knows that because they're all family, so how could it be anything else?]

[video]

[therewerefifty]

[...oh, Kitty. She's quiet for a very long moment.]




...reassuring. [Softly.] Thank you.

[video]

[passingthrough]

[She's glad for that verdict.] I mean it. I know you're still sorting things out, but it really is good to see you again.

[video]

[therewerefifty]

...likewise. I'd... forgotten everything.

[It means that maybe she can have a... not a happy ending, but a content one, after all.]

I will come visit once the Marsiva releases me to a ship.

[video]

[passingthrough]

Good. I'll see you then and feel free to call whenever you want until then.
