[057] After the storm

Jan 11, 2012 08:52

[This is Usagi, arms wrapped tightly around herself, unusually subdued and serious. She's seen the town in flames, her friends dead, her friends kill, and- she doesn't know how to look at anyone or what to think. She'd tried to heal Yuma, and it had made things worse (even if easier for the others to finish the battle) and her powers... her ( Read more... )

[Ami stands in Usagi's doorway, her face mostly blank, but with a hint of concern. There was a lot of information coming from everyone, about everything, and it was proving difficult to sort it all out and devise some sort of plan...

...but Usagi's video had cut into her contemplation, and when Ami saw her Princess in distress, she felt compelled to leave her room--where she had holed herself up into--and came to her side.]

Usagi-chan.

Ami-chan... [She looks up, torn between confused and surprised. Of course Ami is visiting, and of course she loves Ami, but she's not sure she's up to seeing anyone right now while she sorts through her thoughts.

Except of course she wants to see them. Being lonely would be worse. Far worse. After a moment, she doesn't quite smile, but she shifts over on the bed to make room.]

Come sit?

[Action] aquaticbeauty January 11 2012, 03:51:38 UTC

[Wordlessly, Ami steps into the room, straight towards Usagi's bedside. She sits onto the edge, stroking a hand across the blankets to smooth them. Looking down at Usagi, she felt an ache in her chest for the girl. For someone so strong, she was reversely so fragile when it was all over.]

I think I'm beginning to understand. [Not that Ami was nearly as affected--not apparently, at least--but all she could do was try to comfort Usagi. Would it even reach her?]

[Action] buntails January 11 2012, 04:04:14 UTC

[Once Ami sits down, Usagi leans lightly against her.]

My power hasn't failed like that before. It'd be alright, except... Yuma-chan and everyone really had to suffer for it.

What you do next is you get through tonight. [Calmly, gently even.] And tomorrow you make sure you can survive the next night.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] buntails January 11 2012, 03:54:20 UTC

Not just me.

Everyone. [She knows from experience how painful it is to go on when they've all sacrificed their lives.]

I'll keep supporting everyone.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] abrotherlikeyou January 11 2012, 06:42:14 UTC

I know you will. Just don't stretch yourself too thin; a lot of you are trying to do that.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] buntails January 11 2012, 07:02:58 UTC

These things have to be done. [A far cry from the girl who used to whine if she was so much as told to show up to a meeting on time.]

[Yuma keeps the video off to hide her expression. If anyone saw it, they could tell she'd been crying since the moment she revived. Her voice still has some raspy quality too it that would give her away to those closely listening.]

...It's not Usagi-oneechan's fault.

[Voice] buntails January 11 2012, 03:56:20 UTC

[Usagi, the crybaby, hears it right away. Yuma...]

Are...

[What should she even say? What can make it better when nothing can?]

Are you .. alright?

[Voice] moralitycat January 11 2012, 04:06:37 UTC

Yuma... will be okay.

[She isn't okay. Not right now, not really. She isn't going to lie about that. But Yuma is a very, very tough person underneath all of her clinginess and cutesy way of speaking. She will be, eventually.]

It was going to happen someday, Usagi-oneechan. You shouldn't be so sad.

At least this time, we came back. We're very lucky.

[Voice] buntails January 11 2012, 04:10:03 UTC

[But that means that other times...]

Um. If you don't want to, I understand, but... I want to see you. [Or more like, wanting to make sure things are ok with Yuma is overriding her urge to stay away from everyone.]

I'm here, working. But can I humbly suggest that you get some sleep?

buntails January 11 2012, 06:34:00 UTC

Violet! [She hasn't had a chance to see everyone yet partly her own fault.] Are you... Are you alright?

effyourcupcake January 11 2012, 06:37:07 UTC

Fucking peachy.

buntails January 11 2012, 06:39:01 UTC

[That's going to worry her more.]

Are you injured? Do you need help?

....That thing we killed. That was a kid, right?

[voice] buntails January 11 2012, 12:38:33 UTC

[She looks away immediately, though it isn't seen over the voice function anyway. Her voice is a bit wild.]

I didn't want to!

[He was there; he knows she didn't want to, he knows how she begged against it, he knows how she couldn't bring herself to do it and that's why the others had to.]

[voice] twotimingmutt January 11 2012, 12:56:28 UTC

I know. No one's blamin' you for what happened.

[He won't admit it aloud, but Inuyasha wishes that he didn't have to partake in such an event. Things would have been so much easier if he had just been fighting a demon, but no. He helped kill a child, even if he himself hadn't landed the finishing blows, and he was going to have to live with that.]

Her name. What is it?

[voice] buntails January 11 2012, 13:28:32 UTC

[After Yuma's own fears, she has just enough sense to be careful.]

Why? What do you want to do?
