015: [video]
[Today, Sarina is...actually not in her room at Outer Heaven. Instead the video feed shows a side profile shot of her sitting cross-legged at a dock, with a pile of stones to her right. Her left arm rested in her lap, while her other hand occasionally picked a stone up and threw it off-screen into the water. Those who were paying attention to

At least it was entertaining for a while. But I agree, too many innocents were pulled in.
The problem with riots is that they're uncontrolled. Those people who have anger against the companies should have joined together. United against their common enemies. Instead, they turned against anyone and anything to vent their anger. It's pitiful.
They're like children. People need to know when to control themselves.
[Hi, hypocrite.]

[With a grimace, she threw another stone into the sea.] I will agree that it was at least entertaining...for a little while. They could have vented their anger against a cause that was worth it.
[Yeah, she's not going to say anything on Liquid's last comment, because she could relate too well to it herself.]

[Dolph had made such a promising statement for SERO. Liquid felt guilty for even considering it, lucrative though it was.]
When people are angry, they don't tend to think. They just lash out.

Don't worry, I'm not doing anything stupid. Haha -- everyone who's lashed out at the companies without thinking paid for it. I'm not about to do the same thing.
[Although she was still trying to think of something to do. She paused for a few moments, smiling.]
My old unitmate would be right at home -- heheh -- I almost wish she were here, just so I could see what she thought of all of this.
[She paused again, before raising a brow.] How have you been holding up, though? Frankly, I'm more concerned about you, given your most recent events.

I'm a little worried about Kadaj and Yazoo, however. And I suspect Shinji might be planning to do something stupid. He seems tense lately.
Do you mean the girl that was living with you before?

[She tilts her head to the side, taking a small break from tossing stones.] I can't say I blame him -- ahaha -- I don't trust therapists at all.
[Her face shifted back to a concerned expression.] About their AGI affiliation, right? [Yeah, she was concerned about that too.] And I don't really know anything about Shinji, but I suppose you would know best...he's someone important to you, right?
[Sarina nods at his question.] Yeah, Raven. Heehee...although I'd like to see the rest of my old team too.

[He shook his head lightly.] I don't think it was out of fear. He simply did not wish to be alone.
I'm more concerned about their state of mind right now, but that is something to consider. Shinji is also still tied to SERO despite the fact that they killed him. So all three of them are unfortunately wrapped up in the companies against their will.
[A low sigh and he tilts his head back to look at the ceiling, so that his hair brushes his skin.] Shinji is my... partner. Boyfriend. Lover. Pick a term. Any of them work.
Who can tell what fate can bring? I didn't expect the Core to bring Wolf here once, let alone twice.

[Blinking at the revelation that Shinji was tied with SERO, Sarina frowned as she made a connection.] You're afraid that they're going to try to kill each other? Haha? [shrug.] And I know about your connection as ah - lovers...heard it from your conversation with Dolph, the other day. It just...seemed like the more polite term to use, I don't know, heheh.
[Yep, Sarina is stalking you...and nearly everyone else.]
...is it bad if you wish you could see someone else again? Even if they had more important things to do in their world?
Reply
[He shakes his head.] I'm more concerned about what the companies will do to them when they inevitably turn. None of those three are very good at keeping their dislikes under control.

[She still kept a faint smile as Liquid voiced his concern.] I...definitely see what you mean there. Hahaha -- I even got that impression from Shinji, and I've barely spoken to him.
[Sarina then shrugs.] I overheard. I don't want to repeat information that someone might have heard from another -- heheheh -- so I try to pay attention to the replies that have already been spoken before I say anything.
[That was...a half-lie. She was totally listening in. But she finishes with a relieved sort of smile; Sarina was worried about being selfish, on the last point.]
Yeah...yeah -- heehee -- I guess you have a point there.
Reply
Yes. More than that, while they're leashed to the company I am concerned about what might be done to them. And Kadaj and Yazoo are... hurting, from their time with AGI.
[A slight pause and he nodded carelessly.] That makes sense. Well, it's a relatively recent development. It began shortly before I was arrested, after all.
At the least, they can consider it a vacation from the stress. A chance to step out of their struggles for a little while.
Reply
[A hesitant pause.] ...what happened to them anyway? Eehee...what did AGI do to them?
[She seemed distracted with that thought, as she continued.] I don't know anything about those sorts of relationships...but good for the both of you. [She raises her brow. After Shinji mentioned something to her about wanting to kill Liquid if he got himself killed, she wondered how they functioned together.] If you're happy, that is.
[Sarina then shrugs.] I'm not sure if everyone would see it that way -- haha -- but thank you for giving me another perspective to look from.
Reply
[He laughed, slightly darkly.] I'm happy. Don't worry about me.
True enough. But it is a valid point of view - for those that come here during their life, at least.
Reply
[She frowned deeply for a few more moments, giving a heavy sigh. Afterward, she glanced back at the camera.] It's none of my business anyway, so just...uh...keep yourself safe -- [beat. Wait, no. This was Liquid she was talking to.] -- alive? Haha?
It could be good for them if they had a reason to want to be here. Maybe. Haha.
