36th Wheel of Fate [Action]

[awakenedchaos]

[It's been a while since ν-13 returned from her mallynapping. Beyond interacting with a few people and briefly attending Luka's concert, she hasn't done all that much since - or rather, she hasn't done much that would affect most people

That's about to change today. Why? Because there's something that's been bothering her ever since that

Hey...you okay?

[Because Lina has seen Noel crossing the plaza three or four times already, and she doesn't look like someone having a good day.]

[awakenedchaos]

[Careful there - this girl's face and general physique may be almost completely identical to Noel's, but it's definitely not her. ...Unless she dyed her hair, changed her wardrobe, started wearing an eyepatch and somehow got almost sickly pale skin, anyway.

Still, she stops walking in response to the question. The statement that follows doesn't seem to be addressed to anyone in particular, as if she were simply speaking out loud to herself.]

Current condition: obstacle identified. [But this one isn't displaying any signs of hostility so far, so... no need to switch to guard mode yet. And with that said, she'll turn to address Lina directly.]

...All systems within normal limits. [She's fine. She's just... not having any luck with her search so far, which combined with what she found out earlier isn't exactly a good thing.]

[lina_revolution]

[Lina has never seen Noel, so it makes no difference to her.]

Obstacle? You...you don't mean me, right?

[More than anything, with the voice and the eyes and the strange, pale skin, this girl is suddenly reminding her of Ozol.]

I'm just wondering if you needed any help?

[awakenedchaos]

Negative. No assistance is currently required.

[...Well, actually, it would likely be a lot easier to find Ragna with the help of someone else, but... unfortunately, this is something she'd rather take care of herself. And even if it wasn't, she'd be more inclined to request the aid of someone she's more familiar with.]

[lina_revolution]

Well, if you're sure.

But hey, lemme know if you change your mind, okay?

[She'll wait for a nod or a shake of the head before she leaves, at least.]

[awakenedchaos]

[ ... ]

...Understood. [She won't change her mind, though. She's pretty certain about that fact.]

[lina_revolution]

All righty. Well, best of luck. Try not to, y'know, burn up or anything.

[Because man, Nu, you are pale as hell. But, with a cheery wave, Lina will wander off and leave u to her searching.]
