[The world has been saved, hopefully for the last time in a long time. The celebrations - and the mourning - have started, and in a lot of places are still continuing. But the victory isn't the only thing to celebrate - and with a lot of help, and a lot of favours, Laura and Lily have extended an invitation to the Chalice crew, past and present, to join them. If you were nearby, chances are the invitation was hand-delivered by a dutiful Servbot.]

1. The setup
[With the looming deadline of the closing portals, things move quickly! Invitations are sent, travel is arranged, a venue is prepared. What had been the White Chalice's Arboretum - now an open-air grove in what's set to become a lush forest - is the site of the ceremony itself, while the celebrations afterwards will take place in Gucun. There's a lot to be done to make ready. Are you helping, or seeking out one of the brides beforehand?]

2. The ceremony
[It's only fitting that Captain Smith should officiate. He's waiting at an arch set up by the flowerbeds of the Arboretum, where the happy couple met, where Laura's tended her memorial to her friends from before the Chalice and to those who've passed on since. Between the Kwan daughters, Epimetheus, and a brace of Servbots you shouldn't have any trouble finding your seat, even if Xue Yi is a little preoccupied ensuring Prometheus behaves. There's some time before the wedding party arrive, to talk amongst yourselves - or with some of the other guests present, who include Laura's overwhelmed-looking parents!]

3. The reception
[Of course, the real point of a wedding is the party afterwards! There's food, drink, and music - Miki pulled some strings, and Pit's showing how Skyworld does catering. After the recent battle, perhaps this is a chance to see some long-absent faces in more peaceful circumstances, or to say goodbye. Or are you just here for the embarrassing speeches?]

[This is a joint mingle post, open to dropped and retired characters as well! For all prompts, please specify whether it's Laura/Lily you want to talk reply, or others!]

(Locked to Roads)

*Suddenly out of nowhere, no matter what you're doing, you're ambushed by a certain young girl.*

Mr. Roads, you're late!

[Eibon is not a particularly "social" person, so it's a bit surprising to see something of an announcement from her.]

Everyone, I...

...I am sorry. I have failed you, and all mankind.

Those of you with weaker minds should consider suicide. What comes after Yog-Sothoth heralds the rest of his kin from outside time into this world will...not be something you want to stick around for.

[That's it for her extremely glum announcement. Later, Eibon can be seen in the arboretum, tending to some plants.]

[In addition to the return of the Paladin, there's also one other return. There's a brand new MS - albeit rather highly roughed up from the battle in the Hangar. Its Cornea scorching pink paintjob was more or less ruined, and the offensive emblem on its shoulder was more or less removed by several impacts with volcanic rock. Either way though when the cockpit opens...]

Guten Tag!

[Was Luger, pretty bruised and a little worse for wear - but looking downright cheerful! But that's not what's odd. He's wearing an oversized sombrero to boot, and had a poncho that reached to his feet and both were stained with all sorts of things you would rather not guess about.]

I see nothing's changed at all~

*Elena can be seen wandering the ship wearing a witch's hat and a magician's wand*

Hey... Anyone know how can I learn magic?

1. You see Elena in the hangar, chatting with Mikail as usual. She's still bandaged all over, but it appears that at least she's already allowed out of the infirmary.

...chatting with Mikail as usual? On second thought... The mech she's chatting with has an Aries head indeed. But the body is a Zaku.

2. ...or if you ignore her that once, you see her chatting again. But this time the Aries head is on top of a Lion. If you still ignore her, in the next few days you see her chatting with a Jinn wtih an Aries head.

3.(to be continued later)

*You find Elena in the infirmary, being bandaged all over and hooked to IV, though apparently none of it soured her mood at all.*

Whew! I thought I was dead!

armored_mother

[Its some time after the continuation of the festival, a long while after Cora and Richard continued their drinking spree - she's back on the Chalice and overseeing a few things...]

[1] [Cora Interaction]

[Cora's got a few bandages on her and looked a little red from the heat she had to deal with from almost getting set on fire. She's currently looking over the repairs to her armor with a most stern look. Its surprising how well she's keeping herself steady despite how much she drank.]

God...damn

[She's rubbing the side of her head, brushing a piece of armor that was removed for replacement... it had warped a little from the heat - it wasn't severe, if it was she'd have been broiled inside her suit - but still...]

[2] [Oxide Interaction]

[The Cyborg member of the Dullahan unit was still getting patched up more or less after having to make several risky manuevers on the field - one mostly due to the berserking EVA 04. Still, he seems to take it in stride as he carefully tends to his now detatched left arm - meticulously replacing bits and pieces like a man reassembles firearm. What is interesting is that despite any interaction (or lack of thereof) he has had with you, he's requested your presence in the infirmary - not looking up from his limb tending as he speaks to you.]

I'll just get to the point, I need to ask this from someone out of the team. I need help getting Major Anderson's head straight.

[As he slides the final piece into place he reattaches his arm - notably wince crosses his face as a hydraulic hiss rings through the air and he carefully tests the movements of his recently maintained limb.]

She's got a rough job. Our team's not exactly the kind that'd keep a Commanding Officer stable, and she's got a lot of other things on her plate to deal with too. But between her drinking habit and a tendency to fly off the handle whenever Lynn Idris gets involved... she needs help. Think you can offer it?

[3] [Cora Intervention]

[Cora's just looking around at everyone, clearly unamused at the goings on before her.]

What.

[It was a very flat what to say the least.]

[Begin her intervention?]

1-[Driver recruitment]

Good morning everyone! I need some help testing out Clementine, now that it's complete. I'll need sample human drivers to copy the movements of, and also take over if I make any mistakes.

2-[Later in the day, ALICE took the tank out for a spin on her own. And it's not too long before she sends out an emergency distress call...]

Um, please come quickly! I need help!

[And indeed she does need help. Clementine has landed in a city pool, the tank's back half under water in the shallow end, while the front half sticks out of the water, propped up by the edge of the pool.]

Aah! Don't climb on that!

[Alice's plaintive cries do nothing to stop the local children from climbing all over the bright orange tank.]

3-[Well, Caulder had to pay a fine for the damage to the pool. It was reduced a bit by agreeing to have Alice perform 50 hours of community service, which she is now carrying out. You can find her and the tank working in a quarry blasting rock, pulling loads of junk at the landfill, or working in town as part of the special transit service-that is to say, impromptu public transit for the elderly and disabled.]

I wasn't made for this at all...

(Supposed to be backdated from when Luger was still in the infirmary, but the timing is not that important I guess)

*For one reason or another, you one day need to go to the infirmary. But this time, when you enter the infirmary, you're welcomed by a familiar face.

It's Elena in a nurse uniform, complete with nurse cap! She happily brandishes a clipboard, and a totally-not-threathening syringe.*

Welcome! How can I help you?

"FUCK!"

Roads is not having a good day. When he returns, the first thing he does is throw absolutely everything off of his desk, sweeping it to the side. Stacks of papers, pencils, drawings, Kouzou's gift, and his computer all get thrown to the floor. Roads then sits down with his heads in his hands at the now-clear desk.

He stays still for quite some time. Occasionally, he will shift a bit, folding his hands in front of him like something is trying his patience, or he will glare at that ancient tome he's cast aside.

"...Fuck."

The second curse is quiet and subdued.

[1]

In the period of time since the Battle of Beastman Mount, the land battleship Dai-Gunzan has been quiet, following the White Chalice around on a combination of autopilot and skeleton crew, a piece of Isorla bringing forth memories of a sad loss.

But Now!!! With a fresh coat of paint, some maintenance, and the recruitment of some more helping hands, the Gurren Brigade's mightiest (well, only) warship stands tall, read to cut through destiny, defeat evil, and claim glory!

Land Battleship: Dai-Gurren-Dan!

Matthew stands on the prow, inspecting with narrowed eyes the Gurren Brigade banner fluttering in the breeze, arms folded as the whistling wind blows down the open deck.

"...I should have brought a coat." He says finally. Anyone there to agree with him?

[2]

At long last, Matthew, head ensconced in Neurohelmet, leans back in his Battlemech's cockpit again.

He keys in the activation sequence, and his restored...nay, his upgraded Nova comes to life around him!

"PIK Authorization Code: A real man fights with his fists!."

"[Code Accepted. Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons Online. All Systems Nominal.]"

A hatch on the main deck of Dai-Gurren opens up, and those who watch or are standing by in mechs see a strange version of the venerable Clan OmniMech come trotting out!

"Nova Messenger, moving out!"

Help him test it out? Comment?

[3]

Stealthy people on the White Chalice! You espy Matthew in a lounge in front of a terminal, chuckling as he talks to someone on the future equivalent of Skype!

"So you would be willing to come in and bolster the ranks of the Brigade, quiaff?"

Take a closer peek?

[4]

"Simon?" Matthew calls out cautiously as he walks down a set of halls. "Simon the Digger? We should talk, quiaff? About the legacy–"

He cracks open the door to a large supply room. He blinks as his eyes adjust. Then his eyes widen.

"The stravag has he been doing?" He blurts out. He pulls out his comm pad.

[Public Channel.]

"Fellow members of the White Chalice. I have a...question to ask. It is a normal freeborn funerary practice to make stone sculptures of the deceased in large quantities, quiaff?"

One day when you enter the hangar, you see parts of it has been decorated with colorful baloons and crepe papers. It centers on Elena's Aries. And in front of the Mobile Suit, Elena is standing in front of a birthday cake.

"Happy birthday, Mikail~" She cheerfully sings and claps toward her mobile suit.

1. Laura's room

[Visitors or passers by the day after Lily's departure will find her engaged in a strange-looking mix of tidying the place up and packing for a trip. It shouldn't be all that time-consuming a task, but it seems to be taking her a while - unsurprisingly, if you witness one of the times she stops on finding one or another item to put away or add to the packing pile, having to sit and turn it over in her hands, looking a million miles away.]

2. Network (filtered)

[Doctors, spacers, aliens - a number of people aboard find Laura getting in touch over the next few days. She doesn't waste much time on pleasantries.]

What do we have aboard for long-distance, long-term travel? What would you need?

3. Hangar

[The rest of the time, she's in the hangar.

A lot. Working in and around Lily's ship, she's there so much it's not unlikely she's sleeping there, too. The ship itself doesn't show much sign of change, but its surroundings do - computer workstations multiplying around it, cables snaking out and to and between them. The captive Pepen's cage, too, soon moves to beside the ship, its own set of cables wiring the angry golden creature in to the whole shebang. Having called amnesty on her hangar duties for a while, Laura's returning the favour by staying out from under the feet of the other techs, but that doesn't mean the buzz of activity, or the occasional stream of profanity that erupts from the ship, or the obvious frustration in her body language when she taps away at the workstation the Pepen's wired in to, don't draw attention.

Sessions with the Pepen seem to be the most frequent. Other times, she's working at the ship's controls, or waist-deep in a maintenance duct somewhere. At least one evening, she can be found dozing in the pilot's seat with a blanket wrapped around her, lit by the glow of the screens.]

It's dark at night. You're walking alone, when suddenly you hear footsteps behind you. When you turn around, you see Elena walking cheerily, lugging a large sack. And... a familiar smell soar from her. And that smears on her clothings... is that blood?

[It's a bright, sunny day. And where's Roads? Shut up inside the hangar, tapping away at a computer, pouring over printouts in the dark. Typical.]

Hmm...

(2)
[Newtypes of the ship-Roads has asked for a series of practice 1v1 mecha duels with you all. And so now it's the Zweilicht, loaded up with all its equipment, standing off against your unit of choice.]

Ah, thanks for doing this. It should be a big help.

(3)
[Outside the gym, there's a sign that reads: "DARE YE CHALLENGE THE MASTER?!!!!", with a small picture of Roads below it. Inside, he's practicing punching a bag. There's some intense concentration going into each and every punch-it's a solid thirty seconds between each hit.]

[It's All Hallow's Eve, which means it's time for a Blackwell Family Tradition: Staying up all night and watching tons of horror movies! Everyone's invited! Zombies, vampires, serial killers, aliens, giant monsters-the classic lineup of horror films is here in full force.]

2.[Later on in the night, Roads can be found hiding behind the couch, cautiously peeking over at the more extreme spats of violence and gore.]

Ugh...stupid Anthony Hopkins...

(OOC: The first is just general movie madness for anyone who wants to get involved. The second is more for people who want to deal with Roads specifically.)

[The Chalice is still moving west across the Pacific when a few familiar faces arrive in the hangar, hot on the heels of a familiar ship heaving in to range over the horizon. The Nirvana's back to supplement the Chalice's mini-fleet again, and it doesn't take long for a shuttle to bring the three tourists back aboard, along with the supplies and souvenirs they've brought with them. The three are as refreshed as you might expect after a couple of weeks' vacation in a place like Meijire, but Laura's also looking concerned at what she could see of the ship on the way across, and what she sees in the hangar.]

So - what happened while we were gone? We didn't get much news after leaving London... and it looks like the Chalice has been through a lot...

((OOC: Laura, Lily and Dita have arrived back on the returned Nirvana! This thread is for people wanting responses from Laura alone, or for more than one of the trio. Dita and Lily will both have individual posts up shortly.))

(You might or might not notice that the cafetaria has a shortage of knives lately for some reason.)

1.*You're walking somewhere and bumps into Elena. A bunch of knives comes clattering from under her clothes.*

...whoops. Sorry, teehee.

2.It's night. Maybe you can't sleep, or you have some kind of business. Either way you hear some disturbing, mysterious sounds. It comes from one of white chalice's unused rooms.

The room is unlocked. Inside, it's dark. Except from an electric lantern on the corner of the room. And on that corner, Elena is sitting crosslegged, with her back toward you. The sounds is getting clearer now, it's clear that she's the source of the sound. She seems preoccupied. And around her, are the glints of many, many knives...

1.[Throughout the day, someone's out taking the Cosmograsper and I-Savior for a spin or two. And by "spin or two", I mean crazy high-G maneuvers to avoid imaginary enemies. No shooting, just dodging like crazy. Several times the Cosmograsper will actually go into a stall, then roll into a turn, allowing it to do a 360 turn in very tight spaces.]

2. [Later on, Sayla's taking a break. She looks kind of...green.]

Ugh...

They're gone...? I suppose I have been here a while...

2.

[Unlike some loafers, Yui is at least keeping up with studies while on board the chalice. And today, she's reading a history book.]

1. [Right after the whole island-extermination mission, you can find Roads sitting in the hangar, looking up at what's left of the Zweilicht. He's not looking so hot.]

2.[Later, Roads is doing a network post thing.]

Right, so...I've kept my past private, because I'm not really proud of what I've done. I hoped to keep it that way, but seeing as an old friend is now trying to kill me and anyone who gets in her way, you guys have a right to know. So here goes. [He takes a deep breath.]

Up until about three months before I joined the White Chalice, I worked for a mercenary company by the name of the Black Valkyries. You may have heard of them-we were noted mostly for our skill and ruthlessness. Let's see...Probably the most notable action we did was play a bunch of sides off each other in the Gucun civil war, greatly accelerating the nation's implosion and making ourselves filthy rich in the process. Before you ask, yeah, Cheng knows about that. If you want to talk to me about it...I'll be around.

Maybe you can call it veteran soldier's perk. Or maybe it's some supernatural sixth sense. Or maybe it's your survival instinct. Whatever you call it, for this past week you often find your goosebump rising, as if someone is observing you. But you never managed to caught the culprit.

Until now. You're doing your own business. Eating? Repairing something? Just walking in a hall? Or bathing? When you turn your head, you find Elena's face peeking from behind a corner.

1. (the hangar)

[After the chaos of the fight, the hangar crew are working overtime on cleanup duty. Laura's pitching in, flying around in The Great Pretender, righting fallen mechs and clearing heavy objects.

For now, though, she's in the open cockpit of the Knightpolice she's been working on in her own time for the last while, and which came through the confusion blessedly unscathed. There's one last finishing touch to cap off her modifications to it, and this is just the time to make it. There are some odd whistling noises, a fan whirring, and what looks like - no, it's not smoke, it's steam rising...

Laura sinks back into the pilot's seat, out of armour and so with her leg propped up in a cast, and takes a deep, satisfied drink from the mug with the 501st's insignia emblazoned on it.]

Ahhh... got the kettle working at least.

2. (the Arboretum)

[Even using the Pretender for all her activity, Laura's under doctor's orders not to push herself too hard, so she's sitting untransformed under a tree trying not to scratch at her leg in its cast. She's not exactly relaxed, though - tapping away at a tablet, it looks like whatever she's reading or writing is giving her some grief.]

They probably won't even recognize me. Maybe they'll just think it's a sick prank.

"Hello Mr Sub-section Chief Ronaldo. And good morning Mr. Ichiro~"

The day had barely started, but Elena is already frolicking happily in the hangar. She's skipping left and right as if she's in a flower field, and you can hear him chatting cheerily in a sing-song voice. But there's only one problem.

Nobody else is in the hangar.

*You were just minding your own business wherever whenever when you suddenly heard a crash. And now you're finding yourself exchanging look with a slim girl in a skintight bodysuit who apparently just fell down from a ceiling vent.

Wait, what, you think this is a girl who joined the ship a few days ago or something?

For now you two are just looking to each others eye to eye in silence.*
