Meat n' Greet

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see

Tomoyo was very used to situations being out of this world, but...this was quite literally the first time she'd ever been away from the world she knew!

As she looked around the Obs deck with a bag slung over her shoulder, which contained her video camera and a few fresh tapes, only one thought came to her mind...

If our world is truly gone...then ALL of the glorious tapes I've made of Sakura-chan and her wonderful adventures as a CardCaptor are gone! Her extravagant beauty, grace and poise...only a part of my memories...

[clowmaster]

Sakura still wandered across the decks, curious as to who else was amongst the gathered people. However, the familiar black hair caught her eye.

"Tomoyo-chan...?" she uttered. Turning around, she held back as gasp as she started trying to get to her friend.

"Tomoyo-chan! Tomoyo-chan!"

[tomoyoxdesigner]

And immediately, Tomoyo's heart seemed to skip a beat as she fully turned around, hair billowing gracefully behind her as she started the same trek herself.

"Sakura-chan!"

[clowmaster]

It was someone from home. One of her dearest friends. She wasn't alone on this ship!

Her rollerblades clattered to the ground as she reached Tomoyo, pulling the girl into a hug.

"Tomoyo-chan, you're here, you're okay! You're..." she said, a feeling of relief washing over her.

[tomoyoxdesigner]

"...Just fine, now that you're here Sakura-chan." Tomoyo replied, hugging her closest friend back while reminded of the first item she'd ever received from Sakura. It was so long ago, but it would always feel like yesterday to Tomoyo.

"Have you been here long yourself?"

[clowmaster]

"No, I-I just woke up..." Sakura said, pulling back reluctantly. "I... I can't believe it. I thought I was the only one here... especially with what I was told..."

[tomoyoxdesigner]

"I heard..." Tomoyo's face almost radiated reluctance as they pulled apart, but just enough so that she could grasp Sakura's hands with her own. "Our home...our family and our friends..."

[clowmaster]

"But, there's a chance they're still here. Just sleeping." Sakura said, trying to reassure Tomoyo. "All we can do right now is just keep hoping that they'll wake up."

[tomoyoxdesigner]

"...That's one of your many qualities, Sakura-chan: the ability to inspire hope where there appears to be none!" Tomoyo's expression changed almost as rapidly as the rising tides. And, no Sakura - you're not imagining it; Tomoyo has her camera in one hand, and is still holding on with the other.

"Now, your new mission is at hand - to help the inhabitants of this fine vessel and to restore us to the place we once called home~~!"

[clowmaster]

Sakura's eyes went wide as Tomoyo brought her camera to the forefront and began filming her. She couldn't help but grin sheepishly as she mentioned her 'mission'.

"T-Tomoyo-chaaan!" Sakura stammered, blushing.

[tomoyoxdesigner]

"But it is essential now more than ever that I resume filming your wondrous activities, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo insisted, her eyes in a dreamy gaze as the camera continued to film every aspect of her best friend.

"All of my previous tapes of you as a CardCaptor are now gone along with our world, so this is all I'll have to go on until I've procured some more footage."

[radiantcourage]

Oh, Hoshi didn't like when people were upset and she wanted to help Tomoyo feel more welcomed than she was. So, she came over to her and tapped her lightly on the shoulder, a warm smile on her face.

"Hello. Do you need any help?"
