Mid-Mission Downtime

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

1. [Dita's crying in the hangar, curled up in her dread. Come bother her?]


2. [Much later]

[Dita's working on cooking. She has a tear-stained cheeks but she's making food. Each bento is labeled for her friends. Is... she making a goodbye gift for everyone?]

[Lo and behold, a pair of arms are wrapping around Dita's waist.]

Dita...

About what happened out there...

Julia... [Her strong arms, the smell of Julia's hair... and yet...]

Are you mad at me? For not telling anyone the horrible truth?

Dita...?

[Hana had saw the fight, but didn't catch the reason why Dita was so upset. She was there to cheer her up so many times, it was time to return the favor.]

Dita...

Hana.

[Reaching out, her eyes were full of tears.]

I'm so sorry...

Leaving once the Harvesters are beaten back, huh? [He tries to sound detatched, but he just comes off as depressed.]

[Chop chop chop. In goes the carrots.]

... yeah. Captain Magno thinks it's too dangerous for us to stay.

Here Dita. Have a Tatsu to hug and pets. Tatsu sniggles up against Dita with a look of concern. It would be there for Dita as long as she needed it.

[Dita sniffed, tears forming.] Tatsu what am I going to do? We have to stop that ship before it hurts anyone...

You look so sad, miss Dita! What happened out there...?

Lily I... I think we led the bad aliens here. They're here to harvest human beings to survive...

[Someone had to go deal with the infirmary first.]

Oh, hey! Is that your cooking?

Re: -2-

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah it is. I was making lunches for everyone.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

Dita?

[ Hey, look, it's that guy you massaged after he had been shot three times. ]

What are you crying about? Are you okay?

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Char... it's... the Harvesters, they came back... and they brought a mothership which got away!

[And on top of the dread, there is a bounty hunter, sitting. She looks at Dita calmly, with a neutral expression]

You are worried about these harvesters. [It wasn't a question, really]

Re: 1

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[Dita hurriedly wiped her tears.] Y-yes I am.

[g-saviour.livejournal.com]

[[You know Mark is there.

Doesn't say a thing, just, arms around her. Let the girl cry, Mark. Let her cry.]]

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, she knows. And she wants to hug him for being there for her. So she does.]

[coolblueiceman]

[A decided lack of seeing Dita after her mission worries Chrono a bit; his search eventually brings him to Dita's Dread with a worried expression.]

Dita... what happened out there? I've never seen you like this, and that bothers me.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Chrono... [And she threw her arms around him.] I'm just... it's terrible. The harvesters are here and we knew it would happen and yet...!

When we talked about you leaving, I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Re: 2

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

I know. Is it that obvious that we're preparing to leave after this battle?

[Where there's food, Masaki finds a way to get to it. And here he is suddenly, though doesn't see Dita's face; food was his target after all.]

Ah cool, I was starving! Is it dinner time already?

Re: 2

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've made a lunch for everyone. Go ahead and pick one.

[emorangerpink]

Dita?

Are... what's wrong?

Laura I... [Dita wiped her eyes] I might be saying good bye soon...
