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.]

[azumods]

Maybe not.

[She shrugs.]

I'm just saying, don't get your hopes up too high. Even if he does want to talk to you like you guys were saying.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

I mean...I know that much, at least...it's not like just because you've won a few matches, you stop practicing, right? That means you're being cocky...

[Imagine. Sena being cocky.]

But...you know, it's not like we got this far by abandoning all our hopes either, so...

[azumods]

Kid, you don't have a cocky bone in your body.

[wow, jupiter.]

What are you guys even planning on doing when you go to meet him, anyway? Just...hoping at him, or what?

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Ah...ha ha...

[Was that an insult or a compliment?]

Er...honestly, I'm not sure. I don't think we ever came at these things with any kind of plan...

[azumods]

...Wow, you guys are going to die.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

Hieh...

[Did you really have to say it like that, Jupiter? Did you really...]

[azumods]

Try to take it like a man, will you? Don't embarrass yourself in front of him.

[swiftasacoursingkawa]

I did promise you that I'd take whatever result happens like a man...

[Sena, that was for the specific showdown with her, and you know it.]

Doesn't mean I can't be worried about it, though!

[HE'S A SCAREDY-CAT AND HE'S PROUD GOING TO ADMIT IT. LIKE A MAN.]
