[When the feed turns on Misaki is shown standing in a familiar enough location, despite its lack of furnishings. The desk she is sitting at is empty and, while her face is blank as usual, it does seem a little softer at least. This is as happy as she is allowing at the moment.]On the first of next month Strife Delivery will officially be

[Well, that was unexpected. But any surprise is gone from her expression when she replies.]

I understand. It was no problem; I enjoyed having you.

[godlessblossom]

[Not on Misaki's end. She bows her head in gratitude.]

There are a couple of lunches inside the refrigerator for you. I apologize for leaving unexpectedly, however, it will most likely be for the best.

[zerosuitjill]

[She nods politely in return] Thank you. But if anything ever comes up, you know you're welcome here.

If you need help moving or anything, let me know.

I do not have much so I do not think I will need assistance. I do, after all, specialise in deliveries and can manage that much on my own. I am sure you are capable of surviving without me, however, I hope you remember to eat properly. I will try to have an extra lunch in the refrigerator at work in case you need it.

[zerosuitjill]

[She has to laugh at that.] I'll try to remember. And don't go out of your way for my sake, but if it's there, I'll eat it. I never did get tired of your cooking, just so you know.

It would not be going out of my way. I need to continue the art of bento-making and Ruka enjoys cooking. If I make an extra lunch box then she can make my lunch box and both of us will be pleased with the results. However, there will be nights I stay at the store so that is why I include the 'try' part of the sentence.

I am glad you enjoyed my cooking.

[Her eyebrow goes up just a fraction. Misaki sure is... talkative today.] Oh. Right, that makes sense.

...You been sleeping all right lately?

[Video | Private]

[godlessblossom]

I have been sleeping enough to keep myself working without passing out from exhaustion. However, if you mean there is something wrong then I think you may be right. I have a suspicions but am unable to test it since I am already under the influence of whatever this is.

[Video | Private]

[zerosuitjill]

[Oh, boy.] What's your suspicion?

[Video | Private]

[godlessblossom]

I would rather not say until I have further information. If I am wrong then I will look like an idiot. However, you are smart enough to figure it out after a few more incidents such as this.

[zerosuitjill]

[Well, she won't push, then. She just nods after a moment.] I'll keep an eye out. Noticed anything else strange?

[Video | Private]

[godlessblossom]

Taking into consideration what this place is, and the normal events of this place, I can safely say no. Unless you count people disappearing again, however, that does not count as strange. It happens all the time.

[Video | Private]

[zerosuitjill]

[Another nod] Right. It seems surprisingly... subtle so far, so that's the strange part. But let me know if anything else pops up.

[Video | Private]

[godlessblossom]

Of course. Are you alright? I have a tendency to forget about everything except what is in front of me at times so I often overlook whatever my friends are going through. I keep meaning to find a way to stop that, it was something that could have saved Madoka, but I never know how to stop. [Sigh.] This stupid thing will not let me shut up. I just want to know, before I turn this off, are you alright after whatever happened while I was away working? I know several people appeared. Did somebody from your world?

[zerosuitjill]

[Jill's smiling a bit halfway through that, unable to help it, but she resists making a sound; at the last part, her humor sobers.]

Ah, yeah. A couple people. [Her frown is slight.] Wesker was one. He... found me. We talked. Then he left, like everyone else.

["We talked" is a terrible cover, but without being pressed, she's not going into it.]

[Video | Private]

[godlessblossom]

I remember who Wesker is, he was here before. Why are you lying? No, wait, that was not a lie. It was not the complete truth. Did he hurt you? Are you okay?
