srwug_alpha_rp | Second Phase

After the White Doll awakens mission.

[1]
[Loran is on the ground and dealing with the news that Mr. Heim is dead, the casualties to the town he came to recognize as his home were severe. There was no way console the mistress and now he finds himself walking through Nocis city after the fires have been put out, quite depressed about the whole thing and muttering to himself.]

Why would they have opened fire like that? I don't understand.
Surely she wouldn't have approved this.

[He looks between the wreckage and the White Chalice. Something tells me his easy days were over.]

[2]
[The white haired volunteer that was scurrying around days before? Not so much this time. Now he stands in the White Chalice hanger, gripping a tablet manual and staring at the White Doll- the others said it was a Gundam. So that makes him a pilot now doesn't it?]

This isn't going to work.
Just shipping me off...but of course he's not gonna' listen to me.
...White Doll. I know it's not your fault.

[Guess who got traded for the sake of his town's safety.]

[Someone emerges from an alley behind Loran.]

Who is "she"?

Gah!

[Give him a heart attack why don't you]

N...nobody.

Even without my glasses I can see you're trying to hide something, you know.

I...I guess it is kind of obvious.

So... What is it about? Don't tell me if you don't want to talk about it, especially after what happened here. But if it's important, then you have to tell someone. You know how often White Chalice got in danger because someone knew about it but kept it a secret?

Loran. [Hey, remember this guy?] It looks like you're stuck with us for a while longer.

I'm sorry about Mr. Heim. He sounded like a pleasant person.

Oh. Hello, Shotaro.

[le sigh]

He was a kind man. I don't know what I would have done if he hadn't picked me up two years ago.

[Nods] I had someone like that too, once. Sokichi Narumi. He was the man who taught me how to be a detective. Even though he died a few years ago... [He shakes his head] It's painful to think about it, to be honest.

...I'm really worried about the Missus though.

Mr. Heim's family?

[Sitting on Sigil's shoulder, Wendell takes a moment from his visit to look over at Loran, who seems to be talking to himself. Not that Wendell has room to judge on that aspect.]

Hey. You alright?

Hm? Oh, yeah I'm fine.

[No, he really isn't.]

... Right. Even from up here, it's a little obvious something's bugging you.

I just...I don't think I should be here.

Well, you're not alone, if it gives you any comfort.

There is the sound of footsteps. Matthew, walking away from the Dom, steps into your view.

"I am sorry for being unable to prevent damage to your town." He says quietly. "I offer surkai to you."

Edited 2013-03-11 19:51 (UTC)

[[stop. editting.]]

I don't know what that means.

[Oop. Sorry in real life.]

"A form of ritual apology from my culture." Matthew explains. "Consider it a pledge to accept whatever punishment or duty you would ask of me, and a promise to do better next time."

He pauses, looking up at the White Doll.

"How bad is the damage? To the town of Nocis, I mean?"

Oh, um, you don't have to take any punishment from me. I mean, I just lived there it's not like I owned the town or anything, and my friends are all alright...mostly.

It'll take them time to recover. People died as well...

"Aff." Matthew replies. Affirmative, you think he means?

"Who were those dezgra warriors who attacked Nocis? The unit of Leos at least made the effort to avoid collateral damage, but that group of assault mechs who wrecked the town like children throwing a tantrum–"

He clenches his fist. "They shall pay for their lack of honor."

[Bernie looked around the town, and its destruction hits him in the nerves. He doesn't look too pleased]

"Was it our fault?"

No, I don't think so.

"I don't know. We have been gathering trouble lately. Mobile suits have a tendencies to show that you want to fight."

We weren't any sort of signal for attention. At least not for the WaDOMs that appeared.

*Someone talk right behind you. You didn't hear any footsteps at all*

Hello. Why are you looking so distraught?
