[Major Kisaragi returned to Luceti a few days ago.

Major... Noel can't remember the last time she had seen or spoken to him. It had been months, surely, but he had clearly forgotten his time from before. Noel can't help but feel relieved, yet... she's still going to remain on-guard. Why? Because she lives with Ragna. It's silly, honestly. She ( Read more... )

[Running away from problems. That's something that Robert knows well; it's something that he does, most of the time. Here in Luceti, though, you can't really run away from them. You can only ineffectually half-bury them.

He knows that this person probably didn't mean to send the message, but... but it's a question that resonates with him.]

...

I apologize; I realize you did not mean to send this message, but...

...

... I would... I would w-wish to stay here if... if there was no way to return to my multiverse without me forgetting.

... There are too many things about this place that I would not wish to forget.

[Some conviction creeps softly into Robert's tone here:] But I will endeavour to find a way to return home, or move between multiverses, voluntarily, in a way where I can take both the people I care for here and the memories I have of this place...

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 18 2011, 00:35:48 UTC

... My apologies. [Robert lightly presses a palm into his face with some self-reprehension, shaking his head a bit.] I ought to have introduced myself earlier, in the interest of professionalism.

... My name is Professor Robert Alexander Hastings.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Noel Vermillion. [After he's done facepalming, he offers her another smaller, awkward smile.

It's starting to get easier for him to meet new people.]

[Voice] bullet_dance May 18 2011, 00:52:16 UTC

Ah, no, no, it's fine! ['Professor'... she's better off asking now, out of curiosity.] It's nice to meet you, too, Professor Hastings. Um... would you happen to be a scientist? ...o-or maybe a doctor?

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 18 2011, 01:18:31 UTC

I am indeed a scientist. [Noel, you are warming the cockles of Robert's sciency heart by noticing.] An astrobiologist, to be exact - I study exosolar lifeforms, or, specifically, lifeforms not indigenous to Terra.

... I would like to gain some doctoring experience here, though.

[Voice] 1/2 bullet_dance May 18 2011, 04:56:47 UTC

[You...

wait, what? Eckzo... derp]

[Voice] bullet_dance May 18 2011, 04:57:57 UTC

[WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT DOCTORING EXPERIENCE]

You do? Have you tried working at the clinic, then?

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 18 2011, 05:08:12 UTC

[Sorry, Noel. Robert doesn't know just how confusing he is.]

Oh, well, I have approached Doctor Mizuno about helping her at the clinic, and I intended to ask Doctor Faye-Ling as well... perhaps, between the two of them, I can become somewhat competent.

It seems... necessary, here, in a place this... violent. [Hello, foreshadowing? Also, Robert finding Luceti violent might be jarring for Noel.]

[Voice] bullet_dance May 18 2011, 05:45:15 UTC

[Oh, Robert. She knows. She knows. ;~;]

I think they would appreciate any help. I don't know who Doctor Mizuno is, but Miss Litchi would be more than happy to receive some assistance! [And unless she's wrong, she knows she's always overworking herself over there. It's not healthy for her, man.]

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 18 2011, 14:21:07 UTC

[This is encouraging, especially for Robert. Maybe he can be helpful to Litchi and not simply an annoying bother of an apprentice-doctor.]

I have... something of a rapport with Doctor Faye-Ling as it is. She is a wonderful person and has... done much to help me so far in Luceti. Inordinately much, actually.

[Considering Litchi pretty much saved his life, once...]

I ought to repay the favour sometime, if I can.

[Voice] bullet_dance May 18 2011, 20:53:20 UTC

[She's almost about to ask what a rapport is until Robert continues... it's then that she thinks she understands perfectly what he means, and she can't help but smile at that.]

She really is. I can't tell you how many times she's jumped at the chance to help out anyone in need. She's a kind person, a-and... I'm glad I got to know her better here.

[She knew her somewhat back in her world, but back there she wasn't really someone she knew besides her being a doctor and... a-and owning that adorable panda. ;; Lao Jiuuuu.]

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 18 2011, 23:49:51 UTC

Know her... better? Are you a person who comes from her world then? [Robert's tone is interested, here; he'd heard from Litchi that there were others from her world, including Nu, but he doesn't know all of them.]

... She is a wonderful person, though. I am very glad to know her, here.

I only wish I could be as helpful to her as she has been to me.

[Voice] bullet_dance May 19 2011, 01:17:30 UTC

Huh? [.../blink.] Ah, y-yes, I am. We didn't know each other that well back there, but since coming here that's changed.

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 19 2011, 03:59:29 UTC

I suppose that is one good thing about Luceti... making friends.

[Robert's tone may betray the fact that the sheer act of making them was something he was unable to contemplate prior to Luceti.]

[Voice] bullet_dance May 19 2011, 04:49:15 UTC

[...]

I guess that's true, huh?

[Voice] semper_cogitans May 19 2011, 08:54:42 UTC

More true than I thought it could ever be.

[Cryptic, isn't he? And yet it speaks volumes.]
