[009] ☿ Our bodies are just containers for our powers

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[It's Tomoe Mami's face, but it's entirely Mizuno Ami's heavy heart that picks up the communicator. It's taken a long time to make herself look almost normal, to make herself look like she hasn't been crying and like she can handle this.

But the hope that's kept her going just disappeared along with Usagi and her other friends. She can't even know when she'll see them again, if she'll see them again, or if they're truly lost to the Darkness until their world can be restored - perhaps never. Three dear friends at once, so close after a fourth, is a terrible blow. Her voice is steady but far too quiet and thin.]

To everyone who knew them, Tsukino Usagi, Hino Rei, and Aino Minako have disappeared.

Naru-chan, we-

[But right there, without any warning, her voice simply stops. She slumps to the floor without any sign of distress of beforehand.]

(ooc: MADOKA SPOILER/explanation: With the body swap, Mami-in-Ami's-body came to pick up the soul gem... thus bringing it too far away for Mami's body (Ami). She will revive once Mami comes back, bringing it close again, and they figure it out.)

Usagi-chan was our hope. If she's gone from here...

Then she can always find her way back. You're here correct? If there is one tiny glimpse, I'm sure that will help.

It;s...best to believe in them after all. Believe that they will be coming back.

I understand. It's not easy, friends leaving, but you'll be together again. I'm sure of it.

I do believe in Usagi-chan. [But right now, with so many friends disappearing, it's difficult.]

I'm sorry. I hadn't meant to burden you with these things.

[She has to hope so. It's the only hope she really has right now. If Usagi's gone, she's not even sure the Darkness can be beaten.]

Thank you. You're very encouraging.

[musketmagi.livejournal.com]

Still, I... ( can't help but feel guilty... ) You said -- your friends had disappeared...?

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Yes. I'm... certain it isn't a result of this. [She's checked and double checked and triple checked. Whatever body they were in, they'd answer her.

... She hopes.]

[musketmagi.livejournal.com]

( she lowers her head ) I'm sorry. That they've gone, I mean. It must be very stressful for you... ( maybe thats why you passed out... )

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[Y-yeah... that must be it...]

Usagi-chan was our hope. I'm not sure what will happen next.

[She doesn't have the confidence they can defeat the Darkness, without Usagi.]

[musketmagi.livejournal.com]

( she's quiet for a moment... and then takes one of your hands in hers -- er, hers in yours... y-you know what i mean... ) They're your precious friends, aren't they? ... If the worlds can be restored, then there is a good chance they will survive...

How do... you know those names.

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

They're my precious friends. [And now she has to mourn them as lost.]

Some of us are still here together. [She struggles to find at least a little bit to hope from.]

It's fine, I can understand what you are going through. My friends disappeared at one point, but I kept waiting for them to return.



So, I can understand how much it might hurt, but as long as you don't lose hope... then well... your doing well and they will return.

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

That's right.

[Her voice firms up as her resolve does.]

I can't give up now. I can't let them be lost. Even if they only exist in my memories right now, they still exist there. And if we came here from different times before, they can still arrive from another time now.

I have to keep working to find the solution. That's what I can do.

[ video ] got to his post before this, sob. bear with plz?

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

[Wait. You know this one, Ami.

(M)ami peers at the screen uncertainly, trying to place the familiarity. She'd talked with him briefly, when he appeared in Michiru's body. So this is...]

Could it be... Michiru-san?

Although I appear like this right now, this is Mizuno Ami.

[watchesthesea.livejournal.com]

There you go. You know it will happen someday.



And I'll make sure to be there if you feel down again, okay?

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I feel sort of foolish for having to ask it, but, right now I'm not sure. Who is this, please?

[Video]

[watchesthesea.livejournal.com]

It's Kairi. I seem to be in some young boys body right now, it's not a fun experience to say the least.

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

Is there something I could do to make it less arduous?

[musketmagi.livejournal.com]

... I know that things may seem bleak, Mizuno-san, but... ( what can she say? she's not really one for false hopes but... it's hard to see a friend in such a sorry state... ) You must continue on.

[ video ] no problemo~!

[violontides.livejournal.com]

( she seems to relax slightly at the revelation... ) ... Ami-chan. So it seems you were affected also... Are you all right? Perhaps the change has taken its toll physically...

[ video ] <33 hey there

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

It seems so. [Even to her friends, she can't out another friend's secret. This is the best way, this plausible excuse.]

Are you alright? Like this, I mean? You feel well?

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

I know. For everyone's sake who's still here, I need to keep working towards our solution.

[Video]

[watchesthesea.livejournal.com]

No, it's a great way to learn about boys in a way, though I just hope after this, that it won't happen again.

[Kairi!! Ami covers her mouth as her eyes widen and her cheeks flush a definite crimson.]

I never thought of it like that!! [And she is just the tiniest bit jealous she didn't get that opportunity herself... But it would be so awkward and wrong on someone else's actual body!]
