Tide 001 ♆ [Video] (backdated to afternoon/early evening)

[Long, delicate fingers play over the edge of the little communicating device. Michiru tilts her head at it rather curiously. Interesting thing. So if what the little white... critters have told her is true, Michiru is more than a bit stuck here. This fact is a bit dismaying, but there's no sign of this on her face as she turns on her communicator. Instead, her expression is mostly serene, not quite a smile but pleasant enough.] I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to answer a few questions for me. It's very important that I find these things out.

[A pause, as she takes a moment to put her words together.] All this talk about darkness and worlds being lost is a lot to take in. But, if someone could tell me if they've seen a few people. I can offer names and descriptions, of course.

[And now she does smile, though it's a soft, almost sad sort of expression.] If anyone were to escape that darkness, I'm sure that it would be them.

[Really, Usagi was light in and of herself, wasn't she? And her friends had always been drawn along with that light. And Hotaru and Setsuna. Haruka... Well, was she being optimistic? For a moment at least, it couldn't hurt?]

[Michiru's brow furrows.] Akuma... [All right. None of that sounds particularly familiar, so...] Not the same enemies we've faced then.

[...she probably shouldn't have said that.]

[sanguineheels]

...You've faced something similar? [It might have been a bit of a logic leap, but the words at least implied that this woman has fought things before.]

[with_elegance]

...we've had enemies of our own. I'm not sure how similar they are. [It's a vauge answer, but she's a little defensive. It's kind of her nature. She can't help it.]

[sanguineheels]

[Lenalee isn't about to judge the young woman on being cautious, after all, in a place where you know next to nothing it's smart to err on the side of caution.]

Perhaps once you're settled in we could talk more about it. I would love to hear more about your world.

[Michiru nods a bit at that.] And I'm curious about yours as well. We'll have to speak again.
