-Post "They Don't Care about Us"

[Charles is sitting in the infirmary, a bandage around his head. Still, that doesn't seem to be bothering him too much, and he's busy pouring over stacks of paper while typing on some of those fancy holographic screens that seem to crop up whenever IS is involved.]


...This is gonna be one hell of a report...

[Looks to the left. And the right. No one's there.]

HEY CHARLOETTE! Whatcha reading?

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Eri, you... [Oh, right. They are alone. Charlotte breathes a sigh of relief, and smiles.]


...Combat reports, mostly.

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

Hey don't worry I looked before I yelled.

Ah, I see. Yeah you guys were crazy out there. And that thing's still out there too.

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That there are enemies like that threatening the world...

The Colonies need to know.

[marinefashion.livejournal.com]

No doubt. And here we thought we had it rough with our normal crop of enemies.

[Kamille's happy as he can be that it's not him in bandages. It was only a matter of time, honestly.] I honestly should have warned you that shit gets weird around here, I really should have. Sorry.

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I...gathered that.

[zetahatsudo.livejournal.com]

Well... Charles, I'm going to warn you right now, things get downright surreal on this ship. My first sortie was against a robot that had assembled itself out of assorted space junk, including a tv, a refrigerator, and a slot machine. Not five minutes into that battle, one of our friends is taken hostage by a talking, anthropomorphic meteor... who was then destroyed by the Kool-aid man.

[pauses. Questions?]

[infinite_rabbit]

As it should be. Very few would expect to encounter enemies like those on their second sortie.

[Laura's just standing there with her back against the wall, and her arms crossed.]

That aside...how are your injuries?

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

...A bit annoying, but I'll be fine.

It took out all of my shield energy and the last barrier, but not much made it past that.

1/2

[infinite_rabbit]

[She actually looks relieved.]

...That's good to hear.

2/2

[infinite_rabbit]

[And then she realizes it...]

...Don't misunderstand...I wasn't worried - not at all!

It would have been difficult for me to stay here without an acquaintance around. That is all.

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Whatever you say, Laura.

Because this has some potential.

[inneedofasmoke.livejournal.com]

[And here's the mono-eyed German, walking into the infirmary like it was routine. The holographic screens drew his attention enough to notice that Laura was there. His lips quirked in amusement as he walked over.]

Guten Tag . Catching up on office work then?

[He chuckles before looking at the other IS pilot.]

Madchen I didn't know you had a boyfriend on board, you'd probably making a lot of young men upset if they found out.

Re: Because this has some potential.

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Uh...

[Nope, not gonna deny or confirm. Gonna see how Laura handles this one.]

Excuse me?

[infinite_rabbit]

[What Luger will find is a knife's edge at his neck. Unlike before, Laura doesn't hesitate to draw it...but she still remembers that she can't slit his throat right there and then due to orders.]

T-that is not how it is between us! Charles is only my partner while we are here. He is an IS-user like I am!

Moreover, what are you doing here?!

[inneedofasmoke.livejournal.com]

[Luger is now outright laughing despite the fact that she might gut him right there.]

Partner eh Madchen? I take it the two of you get a lot of... maneuvering done?

[He waggles his eyebrows.]

As for why I'm here...It's for treatment...and the fact that they still haven't got a full record of all the diseases in my body.

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

The two of us...aren't like that.

...Could you please wait somewhere else?

I hope your treatment goes well, but...

[infinite_rabbit]

[Not being able to use that knife doesn't mean she can't stare daggers at Luger for his comment, and she nods in agreement at Charles' suggestion.]

You heard him.

Being disease-ridden is more the reason you should leave. I won't tolerate anyone who poses a risk to Charles.

[inneedofasmoke.livejournal.com]

You know you're not really proving me wrong with how protective of him you're being madchen.

[Luger chuckles despite the dagger-staring he was getting.]

But I'll leave since you asked nicely.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

[ A knock on her his ajar door, and Char walks in, taking a seat on the foot of her his bed. ]

How are you feeling?

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Oh! Captain Aznable...


I'm fine, really.
[Nope, totally not blushing here.]

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

[ Totally disregarding that, only because he doesn't know she's a closet loli. ]

Are you sure? That bandage on your head says otherwise.

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

[Charles starts to smile.]

Yeah, I'll be fine. It's just a scratch.

[redfckngcomet.livejournal.com]

If you're sure.

[ Char smiles gently. ]

If you need anything, have the nurse send for me.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

And just why might that be?

I would think they'd hold their systems in high regards for having fended off an unknown alien force.

[[Oh, he's just a curious fellow, looking in on the recent combatants... gathering information. Nothing foul is afoot here!]]

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah.

But, I think they'll have a hard time swallowing the aliens from the future thing...

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

Well... do you necessarily have to tell them?

[infinite-prince.livejournal.com]

Uh...Yeah.

[rods-and-cones.livejournal.com]

Well... let's hope they don't think it's such a danger they pull you from the ship.

I think they'll need you out there when they come back.
