ninth blade [accidental voice/action for flay]

[tiniestsamurai]

[Generally, there aren't a whole lot of reasons one might fall asleep in Violet City, and wake up in Union Cave, and have it be a good thing... or at least none that Anna can think of, anyway.

Really, if anyone can think of any, please tell her.

As is, waking up in a cold and dark cave to find that Flay is there, too does not help Anna's

Anna!

[ There are no words to describe just how happy and relieved she is to see the tiny samurai loli awake and uninjured and -- ]

[ -- and then there's the obvious panic and clear indignation in Anna's tone, which is impossible to miss. Fortunately, Valeria has answers and knows how to communicate them in a quick, efficient way so as to hopefully resolve said emotions as quickly and messilessly as possible. ]

Anna, it's okay. You fell into one of those extended sleeps that seem to be going around recently, so Flay decided to go ahead and take you with him through Union Cave instead of leaving you behind. You're safe.

That fails to make things better!

[Yeah, her imagination is still running off with her, care to leave a message.]

[ And Valeria has to pause because, misunderstanding resolved and aside, she doesn't really peg Flay as the kind of guy who'd take advantage of an unconscious, underaged friend and ally. If she had, she would've filed a report with the police and left Violet to retrieve Anna days ago. So yeah, leaving a message. ]

Things won't get better until you calm down and think things through. I know the situation is unusual, but you're going to have to trust me, okay?

[Oh, Valeria. Anna's imagination is a scary thing, and this is far from the first time she's jumped to extreme conclusions.

The great thing here is that she doesn't have her sword, and she can't take down the rest of the school with her again. But although she remains unconvinced, she'll pick back up her Gear, and switch to video.]

... You say that I am "safe".

[ And Valeria's going to meet her gaze evenly. ]

Do you really think I'd have left you in Flay's care after speaking with him had I thought that was anything but the case?

[video]

[centiflora_x]

[Letttt's backtrack a little bit.]

You've already spoken to him?

[video]

[when_turks_fly]

I have. He made broadcast to the network earlier this week that seemed a bit shady, so I spoke with him and cleared things up.

[video]

[centiflora_x]

... I can only imagine how shady it must have seemed.

[video] woops wrong icon there for a minute

[when_turks_fly]

It... seemed very shady. Very, very shady.

[ So shady that it was almost tangibly so, but -- ]

But I was able to determine that not everything was as it seemed and that you were and are, in fact, safe and that is the important thing. [ A beat. ] So, how are you feeling?

[video]

[centiflora_x]

A multitude of things, to be terribly honest. It felt as if I returned to the school while I was sleeping... and that a lot of things happened back there.

[video]

[when_turks_fly]

Would you like to talk about it? It might help to get it off your chest.

[video]

[centiflora_x]

Ah... yes, I suppose I could. Primarily, it involves senpai, and our Predictology teacher back home.

[video]

[when_turks_fly]

Your senpai and your Predictology teacher? What happened, Anna?

[video]

[centiflora_x]

--Well, first off, have I explained to you what a Mana is?

[video]

[when_turks_fly]

[ And she's pausing, thinking back on their previous conversations. ]

Mm, no. I don't think you have.
