[Ryuuko, having broken her way through several doors to get to Isshin's room, has now reclaimed her usual suit and is looking over the damage done to the door.]

[When Ametatsu's reiatsu disappears from the ship, she stops and looks off in thought.]

Gone again.

[She takes out a cigarette and lights it.]

Comments

[heresthebasics]

You notice it too?

[savetheliving]

You'll have to clarify what you mean by that.

[heresthebasics]

...looks like you ain't going to be blunt about it. Your daughter's missing.

[savetheliving]

She is.

[heresthebasics]

And you don't care?

[savetheliving]

[Takes a drag]

There's nothing I can do.

[heresthebasics]

You have a point. [Isshin stalls for a few moments before talking again.] Think you're going to look for her?

[savetheliving]

Pointless. She's nowhere on the ship.

[heresthebasics]

I shouldn't have asked. You know, for a mom, you ain't really all that motherly.

[savetheliving]

[They've had this conversation before.]

Better than you're doing?

[heresthebasics]

Now there's a pointless question. [Isshin smirks.] You're doing fine, like usual. Hell, if you grow an emotional sensitive bone in your body it'd blow me away.

...How's the weather?

PARTLY SCI-FI WITH A CHANCE OF ROBOTS

[savetheliving]

Hmm.

[the ship trembles from another set of shots hitting the shield outside]

More of the same.

WTH? HOW ARE YOU POSTING?

[heresthebasics]

You know, I'm actually surprised you anwsered that.

Hey, have you got any plans for when we get back?

SCHOOL HAS INTERNET *thumbs up*

[savetheliving]

I don't expect we'd remember the Crucible if we got back home, if that's what you're asking.

You're a liar.

[heresthebasics]

But you got to have something planned for when we get back.

>:

[savetheliving]

[Exhales smoke]

I'd get back to work.
