Mid-Mission Downtime

[chases_aliens]

1. [Dita's crying in the hangar, curled up in her dread. Come bother her?]

2. [Much later]

[Dita's working on cooking. She has a tear-stained cheeks but she's making food. Each bento is labeled for her friends. Is... she making a goodbye gift for everyone?]

[Lo and behold, a pair of arms are wrapping around Dita's waist.]

Dita...

About what happened out there...

Julia... [Her strong arms, the smell of Julia's hair... and yet...]

Are you mad at me? For not telling anyone the horrible truth?

[curseu_reflexes]

No.

You were... worried more about what the Reapers would do to the others back home. At least here you can do something about them, right?

[chases_aliens]

But they must have come from somewhere...! Someone must have lead them here...

Dita...?

[Hana had saw the fight, but didn't catch the reason why Dita was so upset. She was there to cheer her up so many times, it was time to return the favor.]

Dita...

Re: 1

[chases_aliens]

Hana.

[Reaching out, her eyes were full of tears.]

I'm so sorry...

Re: 1

[wimpy_cure_ever]

[And Hana returns the hug.]

...what happened?

Re: 1

[chases_aliens]

That ship... It's from my world... my present, your future.

100 years from now, your world will become uninhabitable. People will live in a structure above the planet. They'll... do terrible things to remain alive.

[Kamille's supervising her use of the kitchen.]

Leaving once the Harvesters are beaten back, huh? [He tries to sound detatched, but he just comes off as depressed.]

Re: 2

[chases_aliens]

[Chop chop chop. In goes the carrots.]

... yeah. Captain Magno thinks it's too dangerous for us to stay.

Re: 2

[zetahatsudo]

[She's got good handwork with that knife. Ever consider brutally murdering the hypotenuse?]

That's what the captain thinks... But what does Dita Liebely think?

Re: 2

[chases_aliens]

[Chop. She rested the knife against the board.]

... I don't want to leave, I want to fight. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks so! Everyone loves Earth, no matter what the others say.

Here Dita. Have a Tatsu to hug and pets. Tatsu sniggles up against Dita with a look of concern. It would be there for Dita as long as she needed it.

Re: 1

[chases_aliens]

[Dita sniffed, tears forming.] Tatsu what am I going to do? We have to stop that ship before it hurts anyone...

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu mimes the group going out and fighting the evil ship. In the mime there is an epic battle that ends with the defeat of the evil ship! Strike victory pose!...Oh how simple Tatsu's mind can be.

[chases_aliens]

[Despite this Dita does smile a little.] You make it sound so simple. Is it really that easy?

You look so sad, miss Dita! What happened out there...?

Re: 1

[chases_aliens]

Lily I... I think we led the bad aliens here. They're here to harvest human beings to survive...

[mecha_eihwaz]

You led them here?! How? It was an accident, right...?

[chases_aliens]

I think so. When the pexis created the wormhole through time and space to escape, I think they followed us here.
