In Which Legal Plans are Made

[The video opens on the good old Something Old Antiques and that happy dorky couple waving enthusiastically at the camera.]

Hey guys, its us! The Dians!

Listen, we've been thinking a lot lately.

About you guys.

We don't know if we've mentioned it recently, but... [There's a nervous pause from both of them before they turn the smiles back on.] You mean a lot to us.

You're our best friends in the world.

Without you guys... well, I don't know what we'd do.

But, you know. Echoes are weird.

Super weird.

And sometimes people forget everything.

And that sucks.

So, uh, we've made contact with the Masquerading Thieves around Locke...

Whoever those brilliant masked people are.

And they're funding a little project we've set up.

Basically, we're hoping on hiring a third party, a lawyer or something, to handle some files.

This'll ensure that we have some way to send messages to ourselves if we lose our memories.

Make sure we can still contact our old friends.

Make sure our old friends will trust that we're friends.

Stuff like that.

So, we'll... see how that goes. If anyone has any suggestions or recommendations on lawyers, or messages they want to send to "themselves"... [Air quotes]

...You can count on us.

[You'd better believe there's a video coming in from Rakka. There were many emotions on her face, but mostly worry.

There was a smile on her face, though.]

Guys....

Hey buddy!

You eat a big breakfast?

[Rakka's been moving around so much, investigating and helping out... They're really proud of her. But that doesn't mean they're ever gonna stop asking concerned questions about how she's been feeling or if she's staying healthy.]

Edited 2015-02-02 14:18 (UTC)

[Such questions always brought to mind Rakka's parents, on the off chance that they would ask anything like that. She'd been away from the Dians more and more, but they still cared enough to ask.

It was incredibly sweet.]

Y-yeah, I did. Thanks for asking, I guess.

...Guys, are you really worried about forgetting everything...?

[They rub the back of their necks uneasily.]

...A little bit, yeah.

Its getting pretty close to two whole years we've been on the network now.

A lot of people have... gone away.

S-so in case it happens to us....

We wanna be-be sure w-we can still help out, y'know?

[Nope, they are not emotional, nope nope N O P E]

I... I know.

[She frowned, brushing some hair out of her face.]

It's been over a year, for me. A-and a lot of people I know are gone now, too.

But... you know, if you guys... left, I don't know what I would...

[Brushing her eyes now. No, she is not tearing up not at all.]

I-it would be terrible.

[Definitely not a lot of crying here ahahah]

I-it'll be okay...

W-we're planning on leaving some notes behind so we don't-uh

S-s-so you don't have to deal with... [Mrs. Harvent.]

[No. Do not cry. That will cause crying to happen. Oh god now you've got Rakka doing it what do you two have to say for youselves.]

I-I.... I'll deal with it. Whatever happens... I don't want you guys to forget about me, though. And I really don't want to forget you!

[They only have one thing to say and that is profuse sobbing everywhere oh god oh god.]

I-we-we know.

And we'll do whatever it takes to make sure that doesn't happen!

Even if- [Well, not getting into existential thoughts about their immortality and losing everyone right now nope nope nope not happening] Well, we won't let it happen.

T-t-they'll have to pry our memories from our cold dead hands!

[Stoooooop this is horrible why did she reply]

Thanks guys. Really, thank you!

[Weeeeh. She doesn't want to think about the future, or what it might hold for her as her memories have told her. She wasn't sure what a Day of Flight really was... but she didn't want any part in it.]

I promise I wont forget you guys either! Never! IT's not going to happen, even if I...

[gulp]

I disappear, one day.

[INNER PANIC AND OUTER PANIC INCREASING]

We- you

Y-you'll never disappear!

You'll always be with us... right?

...I don't know.

[She can't lie to them.]

I got an echo a while back. Apparently, Haibane just... disappear sometimes.

...o-oh..

W-w-w-w-w-w-well!

Even so...

You'll always be with us anyway!

In our hearts!

Edited 2015-02-12 20:54 (UTC)

T-thanks guys...

[That doesn't necessarily make her feel better...]

Will it be expensive?

Don't worry about a little thing like that!

We've got all the costs prepared for in advance!

Can it go abroad?

[Because there's a high probability that she would move back to Finland if she loses her echoes. And that Åsa would move back to Sweden.]

Ohhhhh. Good question. Hmmm.

We'll have to see what we can manage, I suppose.

If not, we'll hire a second lawyer person!

You have a lot of money.

[Being a poor student, this sounds like you really are pretty rich there. TWO LAWYERS.]

[Or they're really terrible at finance management. GUESS WHICH ONE]

The Masquerading Thieves seem to think they can help us get the money together.

So I'm sure we'll be able to meet your expectations!

[...SURELY NOT THE LATTER]

I want to know my dog safe if I lose my echoes.

Ohhhhhhh, good thinking!

We'll do whatever it takes to make sure he's safe!

She.

Floweregg is a girl. [With a ridiculous name.] She's numbered. [Which is why she'll need special care.

Oh, our apologies!

We'll make sure she'll be safe in Numbered hands!

Thank you.

When will this be ready?

Are you SURE it's a good idea to get TANGLED UP WITH MASKED THIEVES?

[Arthur's superhero instincts are setting off little alarm bells for him here...]

Oh, hi Arthur! How you been?

Well, they seem pretty devious and clever!

But also noble and responsible-like!

I've been doing OUTRAGEOUSLY! How about you two?

But STILL! Costumed criminals! For all I know, they could be ARCHNEMESISES FROM MY OTHER LIFE! I'd hate to see you two get HURT!

[He doesn't suspect them at all.]

Pretty darn well!

Worried about everyone, of course, but otherwise fine! We went to see Strange Magic!

It was better than Birdman! [Guys no.]

Ahhh, it'll be okay! They seem to be very Robin Hood-y, you know?

REALLY? I hadn't heard much about it--I'll have to go see it soon!

[And he'll probably be just as enthralled as the Dians...]

But STILL! That sort of thing WORRIES me! People in costumes, STEALING things! That's just ASKING for a superhero to show up!

But superheroes are good, right?

So it a superhero shows up, that means we have more help fighting real bad guys!

[Makes total sense.]

Superheroes are OUTRAGEOUS! But I don't remember any of them STEALING!

Exactly! They frown on stuff like that!

So when thieves steal things, we get more heroes!

[It all adds up.]

But if there' AREN'T any other HEROES, then I'LL have to STEP UP TO THE PLATE!

You guys could borrow my lawyers. They pretty much know I'm tangled with this and they're pretty clear on their fees.

Excellent!

That'll be a load of help!

And generally full of good use!

I'll send you their contact info in a moment, though I gotta ask if you want general financial help or the full service?

I don't know what that means at all!

Me neither!

[Just an absurd amount of blind joy in that statement.]

Full service would include criminal and legal battles as well as financial stuff.

Ohhhhh!

Sounds handy!
