[queenmikimiki]

[Despite the fact that the situation with Imber ended relatively happily one Miki was nowhere to be found for several days after it. Nebula was still on the ship however

[Pat pat. Julia's holding nothing against you, Miki.]

If you were all talk you wouldn't have gone out there in the first place.

[queenmikimiki]

I wasn't able to do anything though...I choked and in the end all I did was get Nebula hurt again.

[curseu_reflexes]

If you're weak... then I probably am too. If it came down to that moment of truth... honestly there would've been a good chance of me choking too.

And you helped us against Heims and Nubilium. And it wasn't like you just stood, unable to so much as raise a hand against Imber. Miki, I know it's said a lot about people in general, but we really can be our harshest critics.

[queenmikimiki]

I know, I know that but...if it wasn't for Haruka I could have.

[A large gulp. She looks like she's on the verge of tears here.]

I just keep thinking about would have happened if Haruka hadn't stopped Imber. All because of my inability to stick to my word.

[curseu_reflexes]

Don't. Thinking about those sort of things...

If Mr. Herrera hadn't made the Corona for me, or if Mr. Hadou hadn't summoned that Demonbane thing, or if Werter hadn't figured out how to stop the meteor...

Success for us is the sum of everyone's contributions. You did more than your part out there.

[queenmikimiki]

Werter huh...

You're probably right.

[A small smile finally forms on her face.]

I did do alright out there didn't I.

[curseu_reflexes]

Certainly paid whats-her-name back for wrecking Nebula the last time!

[queenmikimiki]

I should have stolen Hiems at the very least, having another iDOL on our side would make things easier.

[curseu_reflexes]

But we do have another iDOL on our sides: Imber! Plus, Christine and I saw to beat Nubilium down pretty soundly so we won't have to worry about them again any time soon.

[queenmikimiki]

I guess so...I forgot that Imber was back with us.

That puts us at 2...

[She sounds like she's concerned about something.]

[curseu_reflexes]

Three against two if you count Tempesta's core. Those odds become a lot more heavily stacked in our favor if you count all of us.

[queenmikimiki]

Oh I wasn't talking abou-

[Miki shuts up now, catching herself before she says something that she shouldn't have said.]

Y-yeah the odds are definitely in our advantage.

[curseu_reflexes]

[Julia's got no clue why Miki stopped herself or what she was about to say, but she nevertheless smiles. If there's something on her mind she'll wait until she's willing to share it.]

So then what's the plan now?
