Mid-Mission Downtime

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?]

[Kamille's supervising her use of the kitchen.]

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.

[She's got good handwork with that knife. Ever consider brutally murdering the hypotenuse?]

That's what the captain thinks... But what does Dita Liebely think?

Re: 2

[Chop. She rested the knife against the board.]

... I don't want to leave, I want to fight. And I know I'm not the only one who thinks so! Everyone loves Earth, no matter what the others say.

So then... Outside of the Captain, what's stopping you from staying with us?

.... Without the Pexis, we can't combine. That's where a lot of our strength lays. If we leave then I'd have to go with it.

... damn. [it's hard to beat out that logic.] Honestly, I feel like I should be happy that you're finally getting out of this hell-hole we call home, but I can't seem to find it in me to be happy about you leaving.

... Still, thank you. You've done a lot for me, even when I felt like I didn't deserve it.

[Suddenly gets shifty eyed, comically so] Ya know, if you want, I can get the other engineers and we can sorta sabotage the Nirvana's thrusters so it couldn't leave orbit so you wouldn't have to leave. [he's joking, clearly.]

[She giggled at that.]

You'd have to get around Parfait and she'd probably mangle you when she found out.

Well that's one type of injury I've yet to incur, so I might actually try and see what happens. [He's still joking... right?]

Re: placeholder, goin to bed

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

I heard she's terrible with a spanner.

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

Ugh, more blunt-force trauma? I think I'll pass. Call me when she starts waving around a nail-gun.

[chases-aliens.livejournal.com]

I'm sure she's got one of those.

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

And we're back in the game!
