Yes, I'll meet you coming back when the universe has expanded

[azumods]

[Mars' chains had faded away as soon as the chains on Palkia had shattered, that unnatural red glow leaving her eyes; she doesn't stumble, to her credit, and seems to be trying to resist the urge to flinch or anything, but she's...not precisely looking too hot, either. Not like she's going to faint or anything, just like she's been through A Lot.

Jupiter is staying near her for the time being; ultimately, she's the one that addresses you.]

You guys can stay here if you want. Or don't, I don't care enough to insist. But we've got food and beds that probably beat the Center's, at least.

We'll be around, either way. Since I doubt you guys are just going to leave us alone after all that. Do what you want.


[OOC: Consider this a log to cover both any afterparty whatnot you want to get up to, as well as something to carry over into Sunday! Both Jupiter and Mars will be available for NPC threads on this particular log, should they be desired.]

[Chelsea waves, picking over her stew.]

You did great there, Sena. I mean, I for serious thought we were screwed!

Re: base

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Heh?

[How? When?]

I mean, I was just kinda talking with Jupiter a little, I don't think that really helped much in the grand scheme of things?

[niceoppai]

Iunno, maybe, but you really seem to get her sometimes. As terrifying as that is, sometimes it works out with those kinds of people.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Aha...it's just...

[How to say this "i don't get it she's terrifying and how is it that i can talk with her okay, she's scary" thing nicely...]

She's really...goal-driven.

[niceoppai]

Yeah, that's true enough. She does seem to respect the determination we were talking about.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

You think so?

[It's funny because the next day Jupiter's going to ask him if all they're going to do is be determined and hope at Cyrus and then decide that they're seriously going to die.]

[niceoppai]

I don't really understand her or anything, but I think so. I mean, people like seeing themselves in you, right? Unless it's something bad.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Yeah, that's true...

[He screws up his face in thought on hearing that, though.]

I don't think she'd see herself in me, though...like, what is there?

[...sena you sweet summer child.]

[niceoppai]

It does seem weird, but we don't actually know a lot about her, do we? For all we know, she used to be like you before she joined Team Galactic or something.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

...Somehow, the idea that someone like me could grow up to be someone like her is scarier than what we just went through earlier today...

[Somehow.]

[niceoppai]

No kiddin'. I sure hope not, but I guess everyone's always gotta be careful. She 's kinda scary, to be real, but she also kinda reminds me of someone. Who's, uh, also scary.
