Open Broadcast

[Though it may be somewhat alarming to those who have yet to experience the telepathic network, Armin's image appears in everyone's mind. It's been a while since they arrived back, and nobody else seems to be taking the lead getting everyone organized, so he figures someone needs to step up.]

To all the newcomers arriving, please stay calm. Try not to panic, and try not to project your thoughts so chaotically - with all of you that are arriving, it'll only make things more confusing for everyone. No one should hear your thoughts if you're not actively projecting them - except in Gate A2.

I know you all have a lot of questions. There are many of us who've been here a while, so try to find someone who looks like they know what they're doing, and they can help you. I'll try to help as best I can too - we can talk like this, or if you'd prefer face to face, I'm in the hallway connecting the V1 and V2 lounges.

Does anybody know if one of the Trumps was actually present, whether it was PSYCHENet or not? Was anybody marked this time?

[ This is sort of adorable.. sure, they might be alike a lot, but that doesn't mean it isn't entirely endearing to see this from the opposite side for once. It's not like she'll push teasing Mai, but she's just glad the other feels it's such a heavy compliment. Because Mai only deserves the heaviest of compliments, thank you very much!! ]

Really? I don't think so.

[ She's just 100% genuine about that.. ]

You're already so great even now, I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me about that.

[rip, Mai....death by compliments, thanks, Chizuru.........

Mai just stammers for a moment longer, and then shakes her head slightly and ducks her head. She's still blushing, but slowly she's calming down a little, at least.... no imminent heart attack anymore.]


Oh no... please don't... You're too much, Chizuru-san. [don't ask anyone about that, she'd die...]

But... thank you very much. I think... I think if we can help even a little, then...we must be here for a reason after all.
tealeafs: (in the misty sky)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-01 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Don't worry, she won't actually ask anyone about it.. probably, anyway. Chizuru might be a little embarrassing with her compliments, but she'd never consciously publically embarrass Mai or anything, the other girl is far too precious for that. ]

Yes.. I really think it's why you were brought here. [ Chizuru can make her own reason for being here a little more concrete like the Trumps realising Hijikata is just simply a lot more stable with her around.. ]

Because no one would be able to help everyone the way you do.

[At least there's that... Mai relaxes a little as well. She knows she can trust Chizuru, after all...probably more than anyone, at this point. So if Chizuru thinks that she's here for a reason, then...

It's fine. They're both here, and they're both doing their best.

It'll be fine.

(All of this will be forgotten by the end of next Jaunt.)]


That's... that's right! Between the two of us, I think... I think we can definitely do our part...! And... maybe that means that we can take some of the trouble away from the others...

They always have so much on their shoulders. [Like Hijikata. It makes her worry. Though at least Hijikata has Chizuru. Ambrose, on the other hand...]
tealeafs: (as long as in my dream)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-03 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, Chizuru sure knows a lot of types in general that have that nasty habit of taking everything on their own shoulders instead of letting others share the burden.. and then overwork themselves like that.. (Not like she has a variation of that herself. Nope. Nuh-uh.) ]

A lot of people here seem like that, huh..? Maybe it's something about the situation.

[ Since not all of them look like they have to deal with this stuff a lot back home. Hijikata does and she knows it, but still, he seems like a pretty special case in that regard. ]

The load each person carries away from a Jaunt.. it must start to add up after a while.
upcard: (✿ the otome tropes are strong)

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-04 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope... nothing like either of them, really, they don't do that at all...

But she just tilts her head slightly, and then nods. It's not like the Jaunts aren't hard, after all.]


It could be... I mean... they can be really hard sometimes. And... not everyone talks about it, when they need to.

[Looking at you, Raidou.]

It worries me a lot...
tealeafs: (just like you who)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-06 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yeah, Chizuru sure knows about that.. she knew about it even before she came here. Oh, otome love interests, why do you have to be this way.

It's probably why she stares at Mai for a moment before she softly asks-- ]


Have you dealt with people like that before, Mai-san?

[ From what she remembers, anyway, but Chizuru doesn't want to voice that implication out loud when it's such a Sensitive Issue. ]

upcard: (✿ so done with you rn)

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-07 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes...

[OH YES, SHE SURE HAS... and she suspects Chizuru will understand, but nonetheless she immediately draws herself up, and--]

Shin...Shin is so bad at taking care of himself, or saying what he feels... [tsundere] I know he's very kind, but he always pretends like he isn't... And Ikki-san is always trying to please everyone, but he should take care of himself sometimes...!

[huff puff. And is that a pout--] And Toma...

[.............]

Toma needs to be more honest too... It worries me a lot. A-and then here, Levi-san tries to pretend like he doesn't care about people too, and Raidou-san and Inigo-san try to pretend like they're never hurt by things... and Ambrose-san is always trying to take care of me, even when he's sad too, and then there's Saitou-san and Okita-san and Hijikata-san...!

[your samurai are a disaster ok]
tealeafs: (soaring magnificently in the sky)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-09 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ toma needs to stoP LOCKING PEOPLE IN CAGES AND GET MORE HEALTHY HOBBIES, MORE LIKE

But yes, this is something she very well understands.. it all just comes down to the same thing - guys hiding their problems. Sure, they show it differently (even back home, with Hijikata's stern denial, Saitou's lack of any emotional expression half of the time, Souji's threat, Heisuke's laughter, Sano's smile) but it's all the same thing in the end.

Guys are just a disaster, huh. ]


It really is worrying, huh.. [ She nods a little bit - she's been worried about it too. About a few other people than Mai, but still, it's the same thing. ]

I suppose all we can do though is to make sure to support them-- that way they won't have to worry about keeping all their feelings inside even when they're hurting. [ ... ] It can be good practice for the people you want to help back home, as well.

[ LIKE UKYO.. sadly she hasn't been able to meet the rest of Mai's harem just yet, but if he's supposed to be the prime example, then..

.. yeah. Good luck. ]

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-10 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Toma needs a lot of therapy... but it does make Mai relieved that Chizuru understands, though honestly, she should have known. This is just like her otome protag senpai, honestly... so used to dealing with this, and so capable. She married Hijikata, after all. You have to be really adept at dealing with manpain to accomplish that feat.

So she nods at that, wide-eyed but determined.

If all they can do is to support them until they're ready, then... well.]


Mm...! I'll do my best...! And... if Chizuru-san is doing this as well, then... I'm sure we'll be able to help a lot of people. [because chizuru is amazing etc etc etc second verse same as the first.

But yeah, the people back home..............Ukyo.................]


Chizuru-san, do you think... um. I mean-- [...] I saw Ukyo-san again, a little bit ago.
tealeafs: (they disappeared)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-14 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
.. Eh? Saw him?

[ Chizuru blinks. She hasn't met that many people during fourth wall shenanigans, so it's not like she can immediately deduce when it was that Mai saw him.. her reaction is midway between surprised and concerned, since she was sure Ukyo was trapped in a dungeon portal somewhere-- and that feels sad, okay. Ukyo seemed rather.. well. Not-so-manly-samurai-y to her, which means she has reason enough to worry. ]

When was that..?
upcard: (✿ what do you mean i have to do)

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-15 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
...Ah... in the Liminal Space that looked like an airport...

[Mai, Chizuru doesn't know what an airport looks like--but she's too distracted to notice that, it seems. Instead, quietly, she carries on.]

He was there...for sure. It was definitely him...! And he helped me, and...

[...]

And now I can't find him again.
tealeafs: (shedding your petals graciously)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-15 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The finer details don't matter anyway. What matters is that Mai saw Ukyo, which means he's somewhere around here.. even he can't have been hauled out of some dungeon space only to fall right back in, right..?

So Chizuru is already looking around her as if Ukyo could pop up any moment now like that before turning towards the other girl with a somewhat Serious Look in her eyes. ]


Then-- let's look for him together, Mai-san! Who knows, he could still be around somewhere.. I'd feel terrible abandoning him in that case.
upcard: (✿ i think you're a psychopath)

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-16 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Honestly, Mai almost feels as though Ukyo showed up for just a brief moment--to help her, and save her--and then disappeared again. It fits his modus operandi. He shows up to either save her or kill her and then fades into the night like a sobbing batman.

But even so, if Chizuru thinks that they could find him even so...

Then Mai certainly can't just sit around and hope. She jumps to her feet, nodding quickly.]


A-ah...right...! He...he was the same old Ukyo-san, so I...I want to be able to talk to him more as well.
tealeafs: (the unbreakable thread)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-16 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe there's a part of him that still has trouble facing you.. [ You know, after.. everything that happened.. don't make her say it out loud, she doesn't want to make this whole thing awkward when the idea of seeing Ukyo again is actually a good one, okay. ]

So it could be that he left to hide somewhere around here. But that's why we have to find him and encourage him that it's alright now.
upcard: (✿ why do we serve something like that)

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-16 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[... Well. When Chizuru puts it like that, she looks immensely concerned. Ukyo avoiding her? She can't even deny the possibility, but--]

Oh no...! But he gets so lonely so easily, I...

[...She bites her lip, fingers intertwined in her nervousness.]

Please...help me look for Ukyo-san, Chizuru-san!
tealeafs: (closer than anyone)

[personal profile] tealeafs 2015-05-21 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Of course!

[ She tries to put some confidence in her words, hoping that it'll reassure the other girl that they will find Ukyo, that he won't have to linger out there by himself. As long as it's the two of them combined, they should at least be able to do this much, right? So she nods at the other girl before she's already starting to turn. ]

Then let's not keep him waiting, alright..?
upcard: (✿ this is so dramatic)

[personal profile] upcard 2015-05-21 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Well. If Chizuru is confident, then Mai will try to be confident as well. In response, she nods somewhat, managing a small smile. They'll look for Ukyo. Maybe he's still around...maybe they can find him.]

...Okay. [And quietly--] Thank you, Chizuru-san...

[They'll go, and they'll search--and they won't keep him waiting, if she can possibly help it.

But of course, they will never find him because life is hard in Syno.]
