001 ☢ Accidental Video

[aintnolady]

[The video turns on and then bobs up and down, a sure sign that a moogle is filming. It's taping Lady as she speaks with another moogle, going over the welcome speech. Perhaps the most notable thing about her is the large missile launcher on her back and the many pouches of ammo lining her body. She's always armed to the teeth.

She carefully drops the munny into one of the pouches with some room to spare, but keeps the hotel key between her index and middle finger. When she looks over toward the moogle holding the communicator, it lets out a small:] Uh-oh, kupo!

You've got to be kidding me. Didn't we already discuss this?

I-I just thought it might be best, kupo. Just in case...

[She reaches out to pluck it from the moogles little paws. For once she didn't need guns to intimidate something - though that's how she'd first reacted - the poor thing is scared enough with just a look.]

I already told you, it's useless. There aren't any friends or family members left to find.

[She drops her gaze to the mouse-eared device with a near-challenging gaze, and then shuts it off. There's only one person left alive that she'd consider more than an acquaintance and less than a friend, but she wouldn't ask for him, and she wouldn't let herself hope.]

[Video] Aftermath of Love?

[geniustheveil]

I understand what happened over the last few days now. Love shouldn't be treated like that. It shouldn't be played with, or manipulated, or forced.

[Private to Kanda Yuu]

I wanted to apologize. I understand now: you were being manipulated, like the others over the last while.

[She's such a complete, and utter, idiot, to have thought someone was interested in her and to have worried so much over how to respond. What was she thinking?]

[Private to Naru, Rei, Makoto, Hotaru, Setsuna]

Everyone, I thought it'd be nice to visit some of the worlds, together. So we can touch base again. Would you like to make a trip together soon?

[Get her out of here for awhile. Please?]

❀ Third Illusion ❀ Kanda Yu : Video / Land of Dragon

[decaying]

[The exorcists probably noticed that Kanda hadn't been home in the past few days. With work not being enough to keep him from thinking about a particular subject, he went off to do the only other thing that ever really helped: train. The place he chose was a recent world he discovered with a little help of a blue-haired girl. More thorough exploration brought him to a thick forest of nothing but bamboo. Mugen out, he had pretty much cut off a good portion of the area around him. Talk about deforestation.]

Hey, beansprout. When you're out of school, get your ass on a gummi ship and fly to the Land of Dragons.

[He sliced a few more trees down before sheathing Mugen up and brushing some sweat from his brow.]

I think training with something that actually fights back will wear me out a lot faster. [And he's about to end the feed when he remembers once crucial piece of information.] Try not to get lost. There's no food out here.
