savetheearth | Video Sunday night way after everything went down

[She shows up, sitting on her bed in her room this time, just lit up by the light from the laptop on her knees. She's looking slightly less beat up than she had earlier in the day, but she still looks just as tired as everyone undoubtedly feels at the moment.]

[For anyone who'd seen her with him, she's still wearing Senketsu as well.]

Hey. So... that was a thing, huh? Fucking crazy way to haze the new girl.

[She sighs, glancing away for a second and then shrugs.]

So, yeah, I don't really know you guys or anything yet but I just figured I'd check in too. Let you all know that I didn't get eaten or whatever. In case anybody was wondering about that.

[A pause as she considers where to go with that. She wasn't really wanting to talk but after all the shit today, sleep wasn't coming easily. Actually.]

Oh, yeah. It's kind of a long shot but I kind of accidentally stole this guy's phone and his jacket. Well, he lent them to me so I could call home and then kinda wandered off. He was working with the rescue teams. Like I said, pretty much a longshot but if anybody knows a guy who was working with the paramedics who got his shit stolen, let me know if I can drop it off at his place or something.

Yeah..

[So the Dians defied the laws of nature and freaked out a buddy.

It makes things a bit awkward. And they look a little sheepish when they set up the network feed.]

That's good! Glad to know you're a-okay. And all.

Yeah. [Awkward pause. EVERYTHING FEELS A BIT AWKWARD.] Family's all safe and sound?

[SHIT THE FUCK GODDAMNIT IT'S THESE TWO!]

[Hang on, dealing with existential horror-crisis for a second.]

[Okay, after a little while of evading this particular video feed she's back and looking kind of awkward about it herself.]

Y... yeah. Everything's cool over here.

Good!

Good, great yeah!

[ANOTHER AWKWARD PAUSE.]

...You did really well out there!

It was pretty cool when you took down that one snake!

[He specifies ONE snake because they didn't see the other die.

What with the being a mass of blood and guts and all.]

Y-yeah. Thanks.

[Still... awkward, kinda not looking at the video. Because how do you just tell somebody "Yeah, that freaky shit you did kind of messed with my head and screwed with a basic idea that took a long time to come to terms with"?]

I guess it was pretty cool.

[Maybe if she just sticks to basic responses they'll... get bored and go do something else.]

[They're gonna go ahead and take that comment as a thank you for the compliment, as well as a sign that SHE'S TRAUMATIZED FOR LIFE WE MESSED HER UP NOT THAT WE EVEN KNOW HOW WE DID THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE

Ahem.]

You... uh. Doing alright?

[It's not like she blames THEM for it or anything. That shit looked like it freaked them out just as much and probably more. Rightfully so as well. But even despite that....]

Yeah, I'm fine.

[A beat.]

Uh... how about you guys?

[Like that'll ever stop them from worrying about but what others think.]

Uh.. good, fine. Pretty healthy.

No pain. Which is...

[LONG PAUSE.] Nice.

But... unexpected.

Very unexpected.

Completely and totally unexpected.

Y-yeah. I bet that's... weird.

[More awkward silence before she sighs rather heavily.]

Look, don't take this the wrong way or whatever, I'm glad you guys are still alive and everything but...

that was some pretty fucked up shit before.

[They pause to think over their response. Well, what are they supposed to say really? That sort of thing has never really happened before. And it's not her fault she's a little alarmed by it. Who wouldn't be?

Eventually though, Isaac leans back a little and rubs the back of his neck.]

Well, uh, we don't usually approve of language like that...

But it's pretty fucked up, yeah

Totally fucked up.

[She doesn't give a crap about language. If it's fucked up, it's fucked up.]

I mean, I guess being immortal and shit is pretty cool and all. It's just--

[Another sigh, and she scratches her head]

ah, forget it.

[Isaac nods slightly at this.]

It's, uh... You know, great. Being alive and all. But it's...

[After a moment, Miria tries to gesture to... something.]

Weird.

Yeah. Knowing we should be...

[He drifts off. It occurs to them that this is kind of the OPPOSITE OF HELPING THEIR BUDDY RELAX.]

[HOW REMEDY THIS?!]

[UH.]

You sure you're doing alright?

[NAILED IT.]

[Should be dead. They don't need to finish the thought. She makes a sound in agreement and there's something in her expression.....]

[And then they start flipping the hell out!]

U-uh...?

[And then things are back to normal and Miria's suddenly gone from panicky to serious-faced in two seconds flat there.]

Er....

Y-yeah, I'll be fine. Don't... don't worry about it, okay?

[Jeez, what is up with these two?]

[HMMM, THAT DIDN'T SEEM SINCERE. Which means she is nervous and traumatized and such.]

Are you sure?

We know the... thing was pretty unsettling.

Plus, all the other stuff going on in the city...

[Getting dangerously close to possibly having to discuss actual feelings. Abort. Engage emergency brush-off procedures!]

Yeah, yeah. Like you said there was a whole lot of crap happening out there and that... yeah, that was pretty freaky, but I just need to get my head around it.

Anyway, it's not like it was your fault or anything. So don't worry about it.

[Oh hey, she must be taking it better than they thought. Talked about it easily enough. No way she could be hiding things. Probably alright then. They overreacted.]

Thanks buddy!

If you don't think we should worry, we won't!

You need us to get you anything though? Food, drinks, whatever?

[J... just like that, huh? Jeez, these two sure bounced back pretty quick.]

I'm pretty stocked up for food and stuff over here. Thanks.

[They give her a quick salute. For... some reason.]

Alright!

Just call us up if you change your mind!
