2.2 : [012]

[Sakura isn't facing the sphere, she's looking elsewhere. Her voice is kind of distant, stressed, but calm.]

I must request that people avoid the medical tent for the time being. I'm sorry. For now it's better just to call me if you're hurt, I'll come to you no matter what.

[Even if it would be more convenient to keep the injured in one area. She's

[looks a little surprised, but doesn't ask]

How many injuries have there been so far?

[fearlessflower]

[She looks very very tired.]

Amaterasu, Yazoo, the younger Riku, the fellow who lost his fingers, Oliver... We lost the older Riku. Itachi's sick and he has someone else who's hurt but he won't let me see them.

I'm not sure. I might be missing people.

... Did I thank you for sitting with me before, Guy? How are you holding up?

[minding_mirrors]

That's quite a list. You would think people would be more careful, the way things are. But maybe it's harder to keep an eye out than I thought.

[still smiles, more in the 'making it okay' way than the situation actually being worth smiling about]

I'm fine. It might sound strange, but as dire as this situation is, I feel much better than I did when the paranoia was effecting me. At least I can deal with all of this rationally.

[fearlessflower]

I wish I could be optimistic that it won't get longer.

[She smiles back, the same sort of tired look.]

That's good at least. I don't think it sounds strange, at least if we're stressed now, it's honestly our own stress, right? Tell me if you need my help with anything, even just to talk.

[minding_mirrors]

I will, but for right now, I'm just stopping for a break. If there aren't any emergencies going on right now, why don't you come over? I'm making dinner, and you look like you could use a break too.

[fearlessflower]

I'd love to actually. If you don't mind I'll be over soon.

[minding_mirrors]

Great. I'll see you soon.

[fearlessflower]

[This actually has her a lot more chipper than anything else. She packs her medical kit--just in case--and heads out soon after to meet Guy.]

[minding_mirrors]

[Guy can be found at his self made hut, which as been turned a bit so that it's out of the way of the wind and the dust isn't blowing inside. Some... formerly frog thing is currently in a stew that smells quite lovely, and Sakura may notice that sometime shaped vaguely like a boat is being constructed out of welded steel near by]

[fearlessflower]

[Sakura arrives, knocking a on the "doorframe" to announce herself before letting herself in.]

Hey, Guy.

[She offers a smile but she looks very tired. there's a mostly healed bruise covering one side of her face, it looks a day or two from fading completely, which is why it's hardly visible over the spheres. Handy thing about being a healer is she can heal herself.]

That smells delicious. Making a boat?

[minding_mirrors]

Thanks. I figure by the time we get off of here I'll have mastered at least one local recipe.

[stirs the stew with some kind of metal pipe]

And the boat is thanks to an idea I had while talking to Axel. I don't know if I'll finish in time to be able to use it while we still have an ocean, but it's the only thing I can think of right now.

[fearlessflower]

[She laughs softly and sits across from him. A careful distance, she doesn't want to crowd him]

You're probably better at the cooking thing than I am.

What do you plan to do? And can I help?

[minding_mirrors]

[tastes the soup on one finger, and seeming to decide it's done, and pulls out a couple of bowls and dips them in. The meat and...ve..getables? are in large enough chunks to make easy finger food]

Sorry, no utensils.

[pours one bowl into another, so it isn't dirty, and hands that to sakura. Then fills the other and wipes off the edge]

And the plan is for Axel and I to see how far we can physically get away from the ship, and if anything stops us.

[fearlessflower]

Thank you. She accepts the bowl with a polite dip of her head and inspects the food. She's had way worse when roughing it on missions.]

Don't apologize, thank you for the meal.

You think there might be a range of these nothing-spheres?

[minding_mirrors]

[Guy is actually a capable cook, and it tastes as good as any home cooked meal, he sips at the broth before shaking his head]

I wouldn't mind that, of course. But I actually want to see what the range of the ship itself is. I've been talking to Axel, and I'm pretty convinced that even the people taken by Orion won't be able to leave this place. At least not for long.

[fearlessflower]

[Rather wishes the guys on her team could cook this well. She sips her soup with an appreciative hm!]

Interesting. So the whole set up is... A false hope anyway? Do you think the Orion knows, or...?
