psychic/action

[upcard]

[Hope you're all enjoying your sudden, Liminal Space-filled existences, Travelers. Either way, there's suddenly going to be a very tentative, very timid psychic broadcast.]

Um... excuse me...

[For anyone who met Mai during the Jaunt, she's certainly entirely different now--but then again, that's why she's doing this in the first place, despite being terrified of bothering people in this way. So after a brief pause, she rallies her courage.]

...My name is Mai--um, for the people I didn't know, and I... I was really different in that Jaunt b-but... I just wanted to say that I'm really really sorry!

[There's no visual here--she doesn't have the capability--but even so, it's pretty obvious to anyone who knows her that she's bowing her head here in her shame and apology.]

I did some truly terrible things to everyone, and I...I was really-- [A pause.] Just... I'm very sorry. That's... that's all.

Oh-- um. Near-san... [...what does she even say to him? She's really not sure. After a moment, a really awkward pause, she manages a fumbled thought--] Can we...talk?

[For those who would rather go the action route, Mai is not hard to find; she's tucked against a penny slots machine, arms wrapped around her knees, chin resting on them and eyes downcast. Seems this Jaunt took quite a lot out of her as well, but then again, dying isn't fun for anyone.

There are people she knows she needs to find and check on, but... well, she needs just a moment longer.]

You've helped all of us, too. That's important to remember.

[Because he knows Mai is one of the Travelers that can be trusted on to help others, regardless of circumstances, and the importance of that can't be ignored.]

Me...?

[She's got that selective otome protag blindness that means that she can't see herself very clearly, so she definitely can't see how she's helped anyone.]

... But... even so, all I do is cause everyone trouble during the Jaunts...u-um, I am trying to get better at... everything, though...!

[inexecution]

People have all sorts of skills, though. Some of them might be practical ones but not all problems can be solved with those. And not all of our needs are related directly to Jaunts.

[How best to put this...] Having people who can encourage others is important, too. And I think you're very good at that.

[Never has anyone put "is a good cheerleader" in such kind words before now--but nonetheless, it does its job. She smiles a little to herself at the thought. Sure, all she can do is cheer people up and encourage them, but...]

Oh... if Okita-san thinks so, then... I'm really glad that I can help, even if just a little! I'll keep doing my best to encourage everyone too!

[Including Souji. There's no escape.]

I'll try to help you too, Okita-san...whenever you need it!

[inexecution]

I'm glad to hear it.

[Although no, Mai, he's trying to help you here...]
