oo1 ♃ [Accidental Video] Forward dated to Sunday afternoon

[kickassncleanup]

[When the video begins, the view reveals a teenaged girl dressed in a long skirt and blouse as she stares quizzically down at an ROUS-moose that has been knocked unconscious on its back. She pokes it hesitantly with her foot a few times before peeking around the other side of it and poking it some more. When it still doesn't move, she finally

Mako-chan...?

[buntails]

Mako-chan is so strong!!

[kickassncleanup]

Usagi-chan! You didn't run into one of those things too, did you?

Re: [video]

[buntails]

Eh? No- no, I'm alright. It didn't hurt you, did it, Mako-chan? Where are you?

[kickassncleanup]

I've walked away from worse, and you know it!

Oh. I'm ... [Confused.] by a huge stone wall. I don't recognize it. I probably just got off at the wrong stop. I wasn't paying much attention.

I'll come right away! Press that button on the side of your communicator.

[Hurricane Usagi heading your way in 5...4....3......

Ok, so it takes a bit longer than that. But here she is, pigtails flying!]

MAKO-CHAN!!!

[kickassncleanup]

[Owaaah!]

Usagi-chan!

[And you can see for yourself, Usagi, that she's completely fine. She even has a bag sitting on the ground next to her and the moose with school work inside of it.]

Re: [in-person]

[buntails]

I'm so glad you're here.

[in-person] /hallo.

[marsfireignite]

Usagi, you couldn't wait for me?

[And Rei is coming up at a jog. A rather swift jog, mind you, but a jog all the same. She takes in the scene with a sweep, crossing her arms with quirked eyebrows at the unconscious moose and Mako with an Usagi hanging off of her.]

... almost like home.

[in-person] Ohai again~

[kickassncleanup]

Eheheh. I'm still not sure I understand where here is!

[She raises a reassuring hand to Usagi's upper arm, smiling lightly before letting her gaze focus on Rei.]

But wherever it is, I'm glad you're here too.

Re: [in-person]

[buntails]

Ah- sorry.

[She reluctantly detaches from Makoto and falls quiet]

Here is Adstringendum.

[Forgive the seriousness, Mako, Rei really is happy to see you. But she has a lot on her mind and a lot of things are about to fall into place... and Mako's arrival only seals her resolve about a certain issue.]

It's a world created by spirits here, the Animus. We're pulled from our worlds and dropped into this one. Back home, time stops, and when we're sent home, we're sent back to the exact moment we left, with no memory of this place at all. No one misses us, we don't miss being gone. We're just... stuck, for as long as we're here. I've been here since the middle of July. It's almost the middle of October now.

[Usagi's sudden silence is a bit unnerving, but Makoto knows there's a time for playing around and a time for being serious. Rei's tone makes it clear right now is the latter, and she listens intently, taking in the ridiculousness of the situation as undeniable truth because Rei is the one telling her. Her hand never leaves Usagi's arm.]

So it's like ... limbo?

[Excuse her for not being Ami.]

Re: [in-person]

[buntails]

[Usagi would like to run away now, except that would look really, really bad. Even if she promised to catch up later. She clings to Makoto as much as she dares, but she still doesn't say anything.]
