Five - Shadows

[allnaturalseed]

[You may notice that Cagalli does not seem very much like herself at the moment. She's moping about with her head down, and there are rings around her eyes as though she barely slept. Her greetings are halfhearted and she doesn't want to hold any long conversations

Out there, you saw it too, didn't you?

You wouldn't have seen the same thing I did, I wouldn't be surprised if you were finding yourself back at Orb on that day.

It seems like almost everyone's walking away from Armory-1 not at themselves.

[allnaturalseed]

Everyone saw something different... what was that? What could have done that to all of us?

[scrappymkii]

I don't know. I hoped Shiro would have some answers for me since he seemed to know what those things were, but he's not in his right mind at the moment.

[allnaturalseed]

...Shiro... god, that was... that was awful.

[At some point, Athrun attempts to track down Cagalli aboard the Independence 1.]

...Cagalli.

[allnaturalseed]

[Cagalli turns around when she hears her name, though she doesn't react like she usually would.]

Athrun?

[undefeatedseed]

...Cagalli, I...

...There's a new Indian restaurant that opened near the first subway stop. I'd like it if you joined me for lunch.

Uh. [Blink blink.]

Prinnies are blunt.

[gattai_dood]

You just seem to draw in misfortune, dood!

Cagalli too

[allnaturalseed]

Sh-shut up.

Re: Cagalli too

[gattai_dood]

Oooh, did I strike a nerve, dood? At least you're aware of it, then, even if you don't want to believe it. <3

The best thing for everyone might be for you to keep away from those who might get hurt, dood. <3

And then Athrun will be all mine, dood. <3

How the hell would it have something to do with me? That... that wouldn't make any sense...

I may not know anything about putting stitches in, but I know damned plenty about ripping them apart.

Of course she hacks

*There's no way that Lacus would miss her roommate not sleeping*

I have noticed that you were more restless than usual. Would you like to talk to me about it?

[allnaturalseed]

I... alright. I guess so.

[haro_queen]

Go ahead and start wherever you feel like starting.

[allnaturalseed]

*Cagalli pauses, thinking back... and back... honestly, she could start with that battle at Orb months ago, but Lacus already knew about all of that.*

...that mission the other day. The... the things that happened.

I... it's hard to think of a place to start talking about it.

[seedwlives2spar]

You need anything sis?

[allnaturalseed]

I... probably just someone to talk to I guess.

[seedwlives2spar]

You know you can always talk to me about anything right?

[allnaturalseed]

Yeah... thanks.

Lately I've just... seen so many terrible things...
