[ given her last post, Naomi is doing lots better, thanks to... actually resting and Mikaela coming back. She's even taken to going exploring on her own again. But at the moment, she's just looking... well.

The tiny winged tabby kitten currently floating around her head and swatting at her hair might have something to do with it. ]I can't ( Read more... )

-AUGH! WHAT THE HECK?!

[He sounds like he's struggling with something, the faint scrape of metal on metal and perhaps a boot slammed against it can be heard in the background.]

....

Oh crap. [Maybe he should have used the other foot. Electromagnets SUCK.]

[ It's rare for Naomi to be without a smile, but she looks too strained and too exhausted for any of that. Grief and the knowledge that some of the Decepticons escaped has kept her searching and chasing and getting into the wrong areas, not to mention she hasn't been sleeping. When she speaks, however, it's composed and professional. ]I keep ( Read more... )

[It's extremely late (or early, depending on perspective) when Mikaela walks back into her shop. Sometime in the wee hours of the morning though city is still moving from the earthquake. She's carrying her comm in her hand, and doesn't realize it's on.]

Well, that was an interesting night... [She's muttering to herself as she clicks the light on, ( Read more... )

[ just freed from work, Naomi is looking just a wee bit frazzled and sweetly... annoyed. ]

I really don't understand why there were so many men in the store today when they weren't even looking for jewelry for anybody. Especially when I did have customers who actually needed help. Not that I mind talking to people, but... ah, but they shouldn't ( Read more... )

[ Naomi's glancing up at first, eyes fixed on something just above her head. Gradually, there's a faint buzzing of wings and the something descends, revealing itself to be... what looks to be a golden, winged walnut flying about in no clear pattern. ]I meant to do this sooner, but... a lot's happened. This little one comes from the world I was ( Read more... )

[ it's deathly quiet for a minute, and then there's a soft hitch of breath, and a raggedy cough that follows it. Succeeding that is a scraping noise, clothes brushing against a wall, and the breathing becomes a little louder, developing a distressed tone when the owner makes a sound of confusion. ]Did I pass out...? I didn't feel particularly odd ( Read more... )

[ It seems the Transtechs are being productive today. Naomi's also speaking quickly, with a wonderful combo of confusion, worry, and increasing annoyance in her tone. ]I'm not entirely sure what's happening and they won't tell me much except it'll be immediate, so I won't have much time, but Jazz-san, please take care, and tell everyone else to, ( Read more... )

I can't believe they actually make this here! Surely after everything and my own growth, I should be able to succeed this time!

[ the camera blurs, then focuses on a bowl of steaming... something. A few seconds later, Naomi's hand is seen, moving cautiously and carefully towards whatever contents the bowl may possess. ]Okay... sleeves rolled-up ( Read more... )

[ the camera angle appears to be unsteady, but then corrects itself, just in time for a body to go flying across the screen. ]

I said stop!! YOU BASTARDS PISS ME OFF!! I'M NOT YOUR SEXY LITTLE--

[ Another body soon follows the first, and there's a sharp yelp of pain from Naomi and glass shattering shortly after that. A low growl of frustration ( Read more... )
