Hi Miss Victoria, This is Donny Casey from the clinic. We are working on introducing some synthetic blood to the supplies so that you don't have to worry about donors and stuff like that so much. Would you be able to come by and test the blood sometime to see if it works for making you not hungry? It's exactly the same as far as I can tell, but it's not any good if I tell you we have blood and then it doesn't give you the nutrition you need or something.
Okay thank you very much for your time. I'm at the clinic whenever you need anything.
Would sometime in the afternoon be okay? Mornings I am trying to concentrate on getting deliveries of first aid kits out to transports and running inventory, and afternoons are more open once I've got that out of the way.
( ALSO since we are going into an event and I sort of sprung this on you I am happy to handwave this meeting or backtag it, whichever you would prefer :') )
I was told that ugly sweaters were the best way to spread holiday spirit so I got you a present. I hope you like it. Let me know where I should drop it off.
Oh, good! This is the first time I've ever celebrated the holidays. I wasn't really sure what to do until Loki talked about ugly sweaters being a traditional way to spread holiday cheer.
[Have a rather regal looking giant robot - wait what?]
It appears we have been paired together for this mission, Seras Victoria.
My name is Nova Prime. I am a native of the planet Cybertron and the leader of its people. I'm determined to protect my world from this threat as you no doubt are.
I grow weary of staying inert on this frozen wasteland in what was described as a war, so when you can show me how these missions are run, I will be ready to begin.
The A.I paired her with a giant robot, she's really not sure what to make of that. But! he volunteered and so she'll try her best to be a good veteran.]
Um, hello, Nova Prime. Nice to meet you.
It's good to see someone who's enthusiastic. [Really, wow.] So missions, um, well, we could try out a supply run just for your first go.
[Though... he's a giant robot, giant robot's are very noticeable.]
[Erza starts the call but she isn't sure exactly what to say when it goes to the voice-mail.]
Ah! Hello Seras, this is Erza. I don't know if you remember me from... [That time I threatened you. No don't say that!] ...the moon.
We're having a party right now, sort of a late welcoming party for a friend of ours. I know it's short notice and I would have called sooner but I was buried under snow for the past two weeks. Would you like to come?
[The message bounces back to her immediately, of course. It's a sound Nill has heard dozens-- no, hundreds-- no, she has no way of knowing anymore. Sometimes at night in this world, Nill will go outside and still try to send out a message to Yosuke (or, on really bad nights, to Shika).
She waits a few minutes, helplessly staring at her tablet. Waiting for the ringing in her ears to fade.
No. It was wrong. She couldn't have heard right. She was imagining things because of the paranoia at so many people disappearing lately. That had to be it.]
[Every message bounces back to her with the exact same ping, the little noise of a disconnected device. Nill types up a few more messages, but can't bring herself to send them.
Nothing goes through for awhile. Nill goes to message Lily, because she was next on the list, and finds that Lily's tablet is also disconnected.
If Lily made it back to her own world, she was going home to die. Nill was almost positive of it. She would never live to a time when Nill could have met her in their own world, and if Nill was right about who she was, Heine would never get over her death. The cycle of destruction that was the world Nill came from would go on forever, one way or another. Lily was gone, and Nill had lied to her. She couldn't keep her away from that woman at all.
And Seras... Nill's last surviving family was gone. Maybe she was back in her own world-- she hoped she was, because it seemed like something Seras would want. But even if she wasn't, the chance of Nill ending up in a world with her again were impossible.
Nill searches through her room, and finds that she no longer has a stash of alcohol to hide in. Instead she goes outside, and she smokes, one cigarette after another, until she's burned through five and a half.
It isn't until then that the tears start falling. Nill hangs her head, and drops her cigarette, and finally, she sends one more message.]
gosh I meant to do this sooner ETERNALLY SLOW end of semester chaos etc

No problem :D
I'd be happy to come by and try it. Is there any time that's good in particular? That sounds really promising.

[Someone's very eager.]
You need not worry about my combat experience, warrior, I am quite familiar with the layout of a battlefield.
no subject
[Yes, very good. Right, not that she didn't think a giant robot would find it hard to take care of himself.]
Food or medicine, um, I think mechanical parts are also needed. I'll think of a good time and location for us to visit.
Though um, I have to ask, is there any way you can look... it's just that that'd you'd probably stand out a lot in most places we could go, Mr. Prime.

[From the threat that actually turned out okay in the end.
And wow, an invitation to a party! She smiles.]
I'd love to come, thank you for the invite.
Re: [Video!]
Excellent. You can find us at this place. It will be the loudest place in town.
Oh and one more thing, there seems to be a formal dress code. Do you have something to wear?
