10th Striker Unit/Putting on a Brave Face
1) I did my best...I really did, and it wasn't enough...!
There's nothing else you could have done. Yoshika, it's not your fault.
(If you come by at just the right moment, you might find Yoshika in the brig-specifically, in the cell once occupied by Laura Ericks.
And she'll be crying openly, quiet responses of 'I should've been there! I could've saved her...I could've stopped her...!' being repeated over and over while running most of her last conversation with Laura back through her mind.)
Yoshika, you're not like me. You haven't made my mistakes. You won't. Don't do this to yourself.
(If you stop by and she hears you, she'll quickly wipe her tears away and force a smile on; yes, she does have a broom nearby and plans to use it as a cover story.)
...I'm here for you, too...
...I know. Believe me... it helps.
(At the moment however, she's sniffling and crying and not even paying attention to the intercom which has come on for some important news: For Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji: your mother has arrived onboard. Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji...)
2) (Yoshika eventually heard the surprising and welcome news, and found her Mom waiting for her on the deck. Mothers, having a knack for sensing certain things, saw past Yoshika's brave face after the hug she gave her...and Yoshika caved.)
I...I can't do this anymore, Mama. If all I can do is sit back and watch my friends die...feeling helpless as the people I care about leave me, then I wanna go home!
Yoshika...you've seen many more things than I could ever have hoped to witness in one lifetime, and while I'm sorry for the friends you've lost, is this really how you want your journey to end?
...B-but...
It's hard and it's painful, but this is part of life. Your father understood that as well.
(Ding! Yoshika suddenly recalls something Laura said not too long ago...which she repeats to her Mom.)
...All I can do now is remember them, and keep going.
That's my girl. Now, even though I can't stay too long I would like to meet your friends. Especially the one who you went on and on about-her name was Lynne?
...Ehhhhh?!!
(OOC: Yes I am pulling a Zappa, and for this one post will be NPCing Yoshika's mother! Those who want to embarrass Yoshika, go ahead-but be careful. She's still grieving.)

no subject
Yoshika, they're looking for you.
no subject
...Eh? They are? What's going on?
no subject
[Yoshika, you were dealing with the person most likely to lie about his emotional state. He wasn't falling for it.]
How are you holding up?
no subject
(Yoshika wraps her arms around her own waist, in lieu of Ren's. She does hand him the broom first, though. She appreciated the gesture, but knew he wouldn't want her to hug him for more than a minute.)
...S-she's gone! I could've done something to help if I'd been there, but I wasn't and...!
no subject
Could you? Or would it have just made things harder for her?
no subject
(A sniffle, followed by a light gasp. Definitely a response similar to one Laura would've given her.)
Sh-she wouldn't want me to be hurt...she wouldn't want anything to happen to me if she could prevent it...
no subject
no subject
...Have you had to deal with something like this?
no subject
Either way, I know that there's nothing I could have done back then. I just learned to live with the choices the people around me had made.
no subject
You do get a 5-7 second hug of gratitude before she pulls back with a light blush and hands now at her side.)
...Thanks, Ren. I think your wife is very lucky to have you in her life!
no subject
You should probably go see what that call is about.
no subject
Mm! Thanks, Ren. I'm glad you're my friend~!
2) OH DEAR GOD WHY
Well hello there ma'am.
Anything I can do to help?
[Internally, Luger's brain process is screaming "MILF!MILF!MILF!MILF!" at the mental volume his neurons can allow.]
You wanted an angry Yoshika, not a crying one=is that your final answer?
(And heeeeeere comes Yoshika, eyes narrowed as she puts herself in between Mom and Luger. No she doesn't get that reference, but she feels weird vibes all around which has her on defense.)
No, thanks! We're both fine.
(A moment of hesitation, and then she bows before reassuming the position.)
Angry of course, But I'm planning on sending it into completely horrified/confused.
It's fine, I'm actually used to being treated like this.
[The space german politely offers his had to Mrs Miyafuji.]
Luger Amwulf. A pleasure to meet one of my crew-mate's parents.
[What is this? Genteel decorum? No eyeballing of the body? No raunchy pickup lines? DID YOSHIKA WALK INTO THE TWILIGHT ZONE?!]
no subject
Ehhhh?! Mom, only girls are qualified to be Witches!
(Yoshika forgets-did Sakamoto request for her to heal him, or was it someone else? Either way, she might forget a little bit longer...)
no subject
Nah I think I'm the wrong gender and a little too old for that.
I'm a Mobile Suit pilot. Formerly a member of Waechter Colony's militia.
I was lucky that people here were willing to pick up a stray like me. I'm guessing you've got some military running in your veins ma'am?
no subject
Eh-heh...Mama, I don't mention it to everyone!
no subject
[A little white lie...well. A HUGE one.]
Guess there's a lot being passed down in the family. Magic, brains, skills.
[He chuckles.]
And she's probably going to turn a lot of heads with you as a good example.
no subject
Mooom...!
(Yoshika might've been dealing with grieving issues, but she wasn't that upset not to see something wasn't right with Luger. People changed, but after 24 hours?)
no subject
[He looks to a rather scuffed up watch on his hand and gives Mrs Miyafuji an apologetic grin.]
I'd love to stay and chat but I need to head down to the infirmary. It was great to meet you.
[He offers his hand.]
no subject
Eh-heh... (Yes the hand was accepted, followed by a bow from mother and-somewhat reluctantly-daughter, who's pretty sure she's run into him two, maybe three times during her stay on the Chalice.
Oh, and she's understandably embarrassed, confused and freaked out.)
no subject
No trouble at all Ma'am. No trouble at all.
[And inside Luger is grinning like the madman he is.]
1
It's... always sad to lose comrades...
no subject
D-did you know Laura too...?
no subject
I joined the Chalice only shortly before the death of Frank Symes. But at the same time I've led men before and I know how painful it is to lose people you're close to.
And to lose Laura and Devon so soon afterwards too...
no subject
... did she have to die? I should've been there!
no subject
Some... less than others unfortunately.
[His own family; torn apart by Percolatii before they were replaced by the monstrosities came to mind.]
no subject
You've lost family, too? Before I joined the Witches, I lost my Dad...
no subject
My family was killed by a group of Percolatii. I was just a boy back then... I remember being told to hide in my room somewhere and the sounds...
They weren't pleasant.
TECZ showed up before long, but not fast enough to save my family.
no subject
Lynette Bishop sits near the cell with her rifle resting on the wall... But she remains silent, and for the first time, she doesn't cry. Even though it is hard for her to listen to a friend crying, she is growing numb to the things of this place. She has already grown willing to blow a human apart if it meant saving someone of her team, having grown to learn she would kill human beings way more than Neuroi.
Especially so when being the Sniper of the 501st.
If she ever returns alive, her mother will demand to know what did they do to her glassy-eyed daughter. Assuming she survives everything this ship has thrown against them and gets to come home in any way. On her feet, in a wheelchair, or a casket.
She slings her rifle to her back, and walks back to her quarters to write her own family one of the letters she promised to deliver daily, many minutes before the announcement comes in for Yoshika.
What Yoshika is feeling right now is a good thing. It means she is still human.
--------------------
[After Yoshika's mom is already here.]
[After minutes of letting Yoshika mull it over, she hears over the comm that her mother is here. She is not quite sure how to treat the situation, but might as well start on some good ground.
Once she sees a Yoshika Miyafuji in civvies and strangely a little taller, she (probably) catches her alone, the britannian witch assumes Yoshika may be still looking for her.
Moreso given how she tries to hug that slightly stockier Yoshika from behind in their witchy ways, thinking it is Yoshika having enjoyed Lynne's cooking a little too much.]
Good afternoon!
no subject
The strangest thing that ever happened to Yoshika actually didn't happen to Yoshika, for once. As she quickly thanked her Mother for helping out, the girl's eyes widened in surprise, her cheeks flushed crimson and tears threatened to spring from her eyes once again...
Why? Her mom had suddenly been hugged from behind by a very familiar set of arms, and Yoshika had been hugged like that before!)
Lynne...you've never hugged me like that before!
1/3
2/3
3/3
AAAAHH!! I'm so sorry, Yoshika! I thought she was you, and you were her! I didn't know! I-I'm so sorry!
[And upon looking at the woman in front of her, she shrinks like a mouse.]
I... I.... I'm really sorry for this, Miss Miyafuji.
no subject
Mooooom...! (Lynne's not the only one who feels extremely embarrassed.)
no subject
She is a really good friend of mine and I like her very much. I'm grateful for her, and, um...
[They are that close.]
no subject
...Mmn! I was going to tell you about it soon Mama, b-but things came up a-and I hadn't found time to write.
(Yoshika's cheeks resembled a tomato at her mother's latter response. She knew she'd really meant to ask if they'd kissed.)
no subject
no subject
Mom...! O-Of course we have, but aside from helping out in the kitchen and training drills, it takes up time we'd have together.
N-Not all of our time, right Lynne? We've got a few hours before bed!
no subject
It's moments like these, by the motions of Lynette, that she wants to hide.
"W-We spend it in various ways!"
But is apparently just as inept in saying that they do something else beside Yoshika using Lynette's boobs as pillows.
no subject
Yoshika's cheeks are flushed with embarrassment as she stammers a response. "Ahhh...I-I wouldn't, Mama! I always make sure to help Lynne with the food."
no subject
And this means Lynette pulls Yoshika to help her make something and avoid some previous subjects such as groping the mother or the daughter.
no subject
(Yoshika doesn't really try resisting at all, but as she's pulled alongside Lynette with her mother lightly laughing behind them Yoshika definitely doesn't mind not discussing those previously mentioned subjects.)
"Mama!"
no subject
She is still timid... But, like a kitten gathering a little confidence, she slowly comes close to Yoshika and her mother. A little too close to them, by britannian standards.
