[OOC: Dated AFTER the end of the Belldandy plot.]

To anyone who lost something important to them:

Your things aren't gone. You can find them inside the bank vault. It was necessary to make it look like they'd been destroyed, but they're not.

...

Yeah.

[Screened to Persephone]Sorry for keeping you in the dark about everything. I can come back

I haven't thrown out any of your stuff, if that's what you mean.

Of course you can come back.

Re: [Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[thieveryofstars]

Well, I didn't know what you'd think after my doing all... that.

[Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

I sort of want to hit you, but I've had a lot of other things on my mind lately.

Do you still want me to hold onto that jewel of yours?

Re: [Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[thieveryofstars]

Well, you wouldn't be the only one. You can, if it'll make you feel better.

Other things? Like what?

Heh, that's all right. She'll be wondering where I've gotten to...

[Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

We'll see.

Speaking in tongues, Robin asleep, that sort of thing. Also my lab. I've been keeping busy.

She?

Re: [Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[thieveryofstars]

Oh, that's still going on? This is a little longer than the usual mind-bending that shows up.

Your... lab?

Oh, ah... Mom.

[Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

Yes, well. I'm working on it.

That's what I said. A lab.

And please, please tell me that I'm reading that correctly. Mom?

Re: [Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[thieveryofstars]

Can I help?

What kind of lab?

You didn't happen to look a little closer at the face in the gem, did you?

[Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

If you'd like and promise not to insist that I'm a goddess.

I needed a good place to test out some experiments with my plants. Mostly mixing them together, things like that.

I sort of took a peek before tucking it -- her, sorry -- away. ...I got her a box, was that bad?

Re: [Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[thieveryofstars]

I already said, you are what you believe you are, didn't I?

Oh, gardening? I don't have much of a green thumb.

A box? [slight laugh] No... no, that's not bad at all.

My mom, she died when I was five. She gave me that gem for my tenth birthday.

[Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

You did, sorry.

She gave it to you when you were ten? But how?

Re: [Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[thieveryofstars]

S'okay. :)

Heh... it came in the mail. Mail's a funny thing in my world.

[Typed | Screened | Unhackable]

[poppingseeds]

I'll just take your word for it.
