[005 // Video] (3AM, backdated 'cause I fail)
[Éclair is sleeping with one hand on her NEXUS--as more people arrive, she likes to keep it close by, just so that there's at least one smiling face to comfort them. After all, Lumiére had been there for her when she was new at GOTT, and alone and scared. If she could do that for someone else...
Unfortunately, her sleep's been restless tonight, and in her tossing and turning she's pressed a few buttons, giving the whole network a close-up of her troubled face. She's frowning, making a small whimpering noise.
The noise disturbs her sleep, but it's the light coming from the beacon that makes her open her eyes. Éclair sits up, gasping, and sees--
This.
Éclair leaps to her feet, NEXUS still clutched in her hand, and runs forward. She lifts a long leg and spins a kick into Vice-Minister Mistelle's jaw, trying to back her other self up--and her foot goes straight through the mirage, throwing her off balance. She lands hard on the floor, sprawling, and watches in horror as the scene plays out. It ends as Lumiére disables the attack robots, and though she knows now that it's not real, she can't help crying out.]
Lumiére!
[ooc: tags will come tomorrow after work. Also, sorry for my sudden hiatus--anyone who doesn't want me to continue to backtag them, please let me know; otherwise I will assume continuing threads--and be faster about it this time, I promise!]
