001 [Video] & [Action for Traverse Town]

[sanguineheels]

[She blinks down at the small furry moogle as it trots off further into Traverse Town. Still in a state of confusion over what it has told her, she looks at the communicator, money, and keys clutched in her hands. A frown tugs at her lips as she tucks the money away in her uniform. The communicator she keeps clutched in her hands. The ...moogle? was it? Said she could talk to other people through this right? That's not all that different from the golems.

Though it takes her a minute, she gets the little device to turn on. Despite the circumstances, she still held out hope that she wasn't alone here, that someone else from the order made it somehow. She didn't want to believe that she was the only person that had made it out of that horrible disaster. As she blinks at the screen, trying to figure out what to say, she sinks to the ground where she had been standing, her legs tucked under her.

Even if it was a small chance, she didn't want to believe she was alone yet. She manages to keep a calm composure when she finally starts her video message.]

Brother? Are you out there? Kanda? Allen? Miranda? Bak? It's Lenalee. Can you hear me? See me? Are any of you... [Alive?]

[She doesn't finish the question and cuts transmission instead, waiting on a response. In the silence she toys with the key she was given, her eyes tracing over its shape slowly. A place to stay, right? She musters up the energy to stand, and begins to head to the hotel with the hope that someone there might be able to give her more information. As long as she pays attention to where she's going, she's bound to find the hotel eventually.]

[She covers her mouth a bit to keep from laughing when Kanda's busy harassing someone, but manages to regain her composure]

I was given a little bit of money once I got here, will that help much? [It's strange to imagine needing to get a job to earn money, considering she's lived most of her life at the order.]

I'll help how I can, once I understand what's going on. We're stranded in this place, aren't we?

[decaying]

Keep your money. You're going to school with Allen and I'm not going to take no for an answer.

[Like this, he could take care of you both. Keep you out of trouble.]

[sanguineheels]

[Going to... Kanda have you lost your mind? She has no idea what she'd do in school.]

That's silly, Kanda. Don't be difficult! It would be easier on you and Allen if I helped out!

[decaying]

Easier? In what way. You'll be safe, you'll be with Allen, and I won't have to go to work worrying about you idiots getting into trouble.

[sanguineheels]

[Get into trouble?!]

Since when have I gotten into trouble?! I want to know what's going on in this place first, at least!

[decaying]

[Exactly his point, he keeps a good eye on you so you don't get in trouble. You're not seeing the picture here.]

Then we'll go and explore but you're still going to school.

[sanguineheels]

[Huff. School. There really isn't any point in arguing with Kanda, but that doesn't stop her from fixing a rather stern little frown in his direction.]

You're being ridiculous. But I guess helping Allen out wouldn't be a bad idea. [You win this time, Yuu Kanda.]

[decaying]

Considering our history, I figured you would actually enjoy a little bit of a normal life.

[sanguineheels]

[She falls quiet at that for several long and deafeningly silent moments. It was true, and she would be lying to herself if she said she wouldn't want to experience a normal life.]

But is it really the time for us to indulge in things like that Kanda? We should be doing all we can to try and save our world, shouldn't we?

[decaying]

I don't think we can help it, for now. Not even the people in this world know how to keep off the darkness so we have a lot of time.

[sanguineheels]

I guess you're right. I wish there was something we could do. [With a sigh, she manages to fix a smile on her face again.]

Then I suppose until we can do something, I'll try living a normal life.

[decaying]

Was that so hard?

[sanguineheels]

[She makes a face.]

It's just not a concept I've really had the chance to consider... None of us have.

[decaying]

Don't act like you've never thought of it. You. Of all people.

[sanguineheels]

[Well, okay fine. That's true.]

I have, but with the way things had been going back home, my thoughts have been elsewhere.

[mostly about her little family being broken up.]
