Third Brush Stroke [Video]

[The feed is bouncing a bit, but it's showing the darkened greenery of the park. Seems like it's simulating night in the expansive room. The video feed stops bouncing as it's lowered to the ground, propped against a Sakura tree's trunk. Amaterasu appears on screen, her speech ringing through Babel fish.]I spoke to him. It was... More or less a calm

A- a talking dog?

[Sorry Taiyou/Ammy/I have no idea, Hope doesn't realize you're the woman who was so nice to him before.]

[video]

[motherofthesun]

[Oh hay Hope! I have to pretend I don't know you. D:'']

The Babel fish...

[Wow, people are still shocked at this? Maybe she should stop talking and write instead...]

[video]

[good_breakfast]

[Awww, so Hope doesn't get to find out?]

You mean it translates animals too?

[video]

[motherofthesun]

[Sorry; has to be a secret for a while.]

Well, barking is communication, but it could be other factors. [She shakes her head, unsure.] Are you a new arrival?

[Meanie.]

I... never thought of it like that.

Uh... yeah. I've been here about a week.

[I wish I could tell you! T_T'']

Are you settling in well?

Re: [video]

[good_breakfast]

[It's fine. Hope's keeping a secret from you as well.]

Uh, yeah... all things considered.

[motherofthesun]

[So many secrets on this ship...]

That's good, but if you do get stuck in a bind, most of the people on board are nice.

[Well, it doesn't help that Fang is going around spilling their secret to anyone who asks.]

Yeah, I've met some really nice people.

[He's kind of forgotten that he's having a conversation with a dog.]

[video]

[motherofthesun]

[Ahah, that's terrible!]

Wonderful! It's easier to settle in when there's help.

[good_breakfast]

Yeah, I have some friends from my world here too but... we're not entirely convinced our world is gone.

[video]

[motherofthesun]

Hm? Why's that?

[She tilts her head a bit]

Re: [video]

[good_breakfast]

Let's just say that if our world really was destroyed, something should've happened that didn't.

[video]

[motherofthesun]

I suppose that's a good indicator, but there could be other reasons what should've happened didn't.

Re: [video]

[good_breakfast]

Maybe, but we can't afford to just sit here. We were in the middle of something important back home. I'd never be able to live with myself if I left it unfinished.

[motherofthesun]

You're on a mission too?

[Must have something to do with that mark on his arm...]
