(Yoshika can be found sitting on a chair in the room she shares with Lynne, looking outside silently. While the Fuso native didn't take in as much of the poison gas that Ren had, she had been engulfed by a little bit of it when it was initially released so she was instructed to take it easy for a few days and not to work until she was fit for duty.

Inside, she was torn and upset with herself for one huge reason - at least in her eyes. Yoshika was positive that she had fired on humans during that battle! Misguided indeed, but that didn't change the fact she'd fired on them. Her expression clearly stated she wasn't happy, that she'd betrayed herself and her promise...)

(During Yoshika's years in school prior to her being recruited for the Strike Witches, she made sure to know certain words even if she didn't know when they would be used. One of them was 'lull,' which was defined as 'A short period of calm.' During this particular lull, lots of changes were happening on the Chalice and she wasn't sure if she liked all of them.

One of the strangest changes had been happening to herself, as she'd gone back to see MarKus to get another round of tests done concerning her powers as well as how well her Striker Unit was doing. Those results were the same: the Striker ran fine, but she still couldn't fly or even hover well in it! It was the results of her own magic that had her worried. She hadn't even looked at them yet, but she was comforted by the fact that Lynne had gone with her during the tests.

Yoshika's currently in the kitchen, but as she's not on duty she's sitting at one of the tables with her results in hand. And she's not hungry but she hasn't eaten since getting the results which was only a couple of days ago.

Prompt A:
[It was the end of the battle. Things were going well, and talks were going to begin with the council of grandpa and grandma. You can catch the Super Vandread landing as it splits into its component machines. Go bother Laura and Dita?]

Prompt B:
[Once back on the Chalice, it's not long before the message goes up on the network that Dita, Laura and Lily are heading off ship for a few weeks. Anyone who wants to say goodbye in person won't have much trouble catching them alone or together with their baggage in tow en route to their transport.]

1) Backdated to August 15th

(Yoshika's voice comes over the comms as well as a sudden video post, the girl not having used it or asked to use it in quite a long time. It is her first time appearing on screen, though. So she might be a little nervous.)

Uh, hi everyone! Master Sergeant Yoshika Miyafuji here. I-I didn't come onboard the White Chalice until a little later, but my birthday's coming up! It'll be on the 18th if any of my friends would like to prepare something. It's okay if you can't, but I just wanted every6one to know.

2) HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOSHIKA~!

(Yoshika's confused - it's sometime early in the afternoon, and for the most she's taken care of her chores and hasn't found anyone. Has everyone taken sneaky lessons from Lucchini? She's arriving in the kitchen in a moment or two...)

aceshighhealer.livejournal.com

(Sometime after the trip back in time and the Imagin running around the Chalice, Yoshika can be found up on the main deck, staring worriedly at her Striker Units which she'd taken from the hangar just for a while. On three different occasions during the sortie back in 1505, her Strikers had nearly given out on her and then...she'd pretty much pushed them to the limit when saving Sakamoto's life after her brilliant display of taking down the Neuroi.

She hadn't gotten around to telling the other Witches, but she would - she would! - tell them, once she'd figured out what was going on with her Striker. Or was it her? Were her powers vanishing? But her birthday was in a week! She hadn't even turned 16, and...was her time as a Witch really coming to an end?)

What am I gonna tell Mom...?

Dan: Sorry to bug you all but there's trouble. Our sensors have picked up a Neuroi heading for Megijima Island. It's uninhabited from what we can tell but we can't let a Neuroi slip by our fingers.

Shirley: You heard him girls, all Witches move out! I'll be coordinating efforts from here.

Dan: Also can we have about oh, 4 volunteers to go with them? I know these girls are tough but its a big Neuroi.

[Locked to the participants of said mission]

2.

So chasing down the Neuroi seems to be your main option. It's not in visual range yet, but it will be sooner or later. Banter away everyone, you have a moment to chat.

(ooc: prompt 2 is part of the mission itself and is meant for the lineup. Prompt 1 will be open to volunteers, prepwork etc.

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.

Dear mum,

I've had more time to write to you lately because of the orders the Major Sakamoto left for us after our last sortie. I think she just wanted us to have more rest after the liberation of Britannia from the Neuroi. I'm grateful for it, but I don't feel right having gone to only the more peaceful patrols and having taken only small roles. I know it's what you and Wilma would want for my safety above it all, but I think they're all still part of my team. Especially so with Yoshika having gone more often into these missions. I still want you to meet her, but if Wilma ever gets assigned to our ship, please tell her not to tease too much.

Please continue to write. It's a shame it's hard for us to get mail with the Chalice constantly moving, but every letter makes me really happy. Please tell me more about what's happened to Britannia. I've read people celebrated that day, and I've heard some rumors that the pubs have been more populated lately in spite of the things going around the planet.

I hope it is not too much of a problem, but I would appreciate it if you convinced dad not to invite me to ~~“get shitfaced”~~ ~~“get pissed”~~ “go drinking” the next time we come. I know it amuses Wilma, but I don't think I am a good drinker. Besides, I do not want to ~~have the Major with us if she ever drin~~ embarass her if it happens.

Take care of yourselves at home, and tell Wilma I miss her. I love you.

1) Later within the day, Lynette spends her time writing in the mess hall this very letter. However, she sees you approaching.]

I hope I don't bother you... But could you help me with a letter?

[

2) Later on, the letter is finished.]

Somebody catch it before I lose it!

[Problem is, the wind happened, and there's now an easily tired witch chasing a flying letter.]

3) Finally, at the end of the day, having spent more time on the letter than she thought, she decides to go napping. Alas, given it is a sleepy witch that had crossed over the sleeping hours, and without the proverbial cat (actually a doberman) in the house...]

(Since her unexpected lottery win over the weekend, which sent her into one of her most shocking sorties yet, Yoshika hadn't spent much time talking, pretty deep in thought over what she'd experienced. Sure, she still made small talk to her friends and helped out in the kitchen during the weekend but other than that her smile wasn't 100% the same.

At the moment, the Fuso native was walking Kaze around the Chalice, ending up at the deck and sitting down next to the dog, silent while petting him at the same time.)

I think you're the luckiest member of the Chalice, Kaze. You'll never have to endure sorties or dangerous missions.

(Kaze whimpered softly, rubbing his nose against Yoshika's hand who moved it to pet the dog a few times.)

Anyone willing to entertain her for a little bit?

1) (You'll find Yoshika down the hall, happily humming what should be the 'Happy birthday' song while holding a small notepad and checking off certain items. She's content and prepared for whatever lies ahead. Most of what lies ahead, but she's grateful for a lot of things since arriving on the White Chalice nearly one year ago. This would be that moment. Bother her? Or at least try and find out what the heck she could possibly be so happy about!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNNE~! ♥

(Yoshika made sure to give Lynne an 'anonymous' invitation to the Nirvana. Reason being? When she gets there, she'll find Yoshika dressed in her 'swimsuit' worn beneath her usual attire, motioning for her to follow so she can get her present: a full day of relaxation at the spa, just for the two of them!)

We can have cake and ice cream later on, but for now...a little time alone together?

[[Well, Mio's finally all well and good now, but, that means that she's on her way out the door.

She's packed what little she needs; which is probably miniscule compared to Tsukasa's things. A Brittanian transport has come to pick her up as well, but it's not as if she's just going to hop on and take off.

There's her squad, and her friends, who would surely like to say goodbye to her, despite the recent line of loss and tragedy they just went through.

Surely Tsukasa is here too, but you could probably shoot him away if you're trying to have a more ~~moe~~private moment.]]

((After this post is concluded, Mio (and Tsukasa) will be off the ship until the next Strike Witches mission. This would be that transition from Season 1 to Season 2. Canonically, that's a six month gap; here's hoping that it won't ACTUALLY be that long!))

[1 - Shirley or Tsukasa]

It's an odd sight, seeing Kabuto carry Shirley onto the ship with her wrecked strikers still mangled on her feet. But gently, he sets things her down and replaces the strikers into the bay for her. Shirley's got this sort of forlorn expression at the damaged engine.

"Gonna take a while to get it repaired.... if it can be repaired. Looks like I totally blew out the magic engine."

"Sorry. I'd offer to let you borrow Blade but I need my belt. I'll leave you with that." And with that, Tsukasa walked off, having said his peace and leaving Shirley to sigh.

[2 - Shirley]

You can find her later, disassembling the wrecked strikers and checking the components. Some of them are set aside into a salvage pile, the others, well, they were just junk. The actual components in the salvage was very small as most of it was being consigned to the trash heap.

"Damn... this is going to be tough without getting a whole new striker built. I should check if we have brooms left."

[3 - Tsukasa]

Kabuto's still wandering around. He keeps wondering to himself why he didn't interfere. His wandering takes him from the deck to the mess hall, and then to the Hikari Studio. He hadn't even bothered dropping out of transformation, simply dropping the helmet and making himself some tea.

"After all this, I'm still going with Mio. What the hell is wrong with my priorities..."

"I didn't even...didn't even...didn't even..."
[You see the once tall standing ace, standing in front of what is left of her plane. There is less than half of it left, and it is not even standing straight.But you can tell this is not just about the plane.]
"I should have..."
[Her eyes were very blank, and even her helmet did not have any chirping. She is not all there upstairs.]
"We need heroes after the war too. Make it back in one piece."

[Tsukasa was making a list, tapping his chin with a pen before he jotted a few more things down. There was a list of priorities that he was making up and he was looking through it.

He was obviously preparing for something, the way he was leaving post-its everywhere for people. He was also looking for the various people as well, checking and planning.]

[Video]

Attention everyone, due to some specific circumstances, I will be going off-ship for a while with Major Mio Sakamoto. We'll be gone for however she needs to be done, although I'll try to send missives at various points in time. As such, I've left lists to specific people, as well as putting Hoshi in charge of the kitchen for the time being.

You'll be down one Rider and a Witch, but I feel like I need to accompany her on her trip.

[Nanoha's doing some unusual training in the open spaces of the Chalice's bigger rooms. She had set up multiple targets and was moving large containers around. It was quite a bit of a strain on her as she had been at it for a while. But mastering a new spell was part in parcel of her training.]

[2]

[After a while, she had gotten a volunteer as Nanoha stood there, Raising Heart aimed at said person.]

I don't use these much so please tell me if the binds get too tight!

[And there she is casting binding spells of all kinds on people.]

[After all of that, she's hungry. Very hungry. And Nanoha is in the kitchen making herself a meal as she tries to get the large sandwich into her mouth.]

1. (the hangar)

[Now that is at once a familiar sight and a strange one - Laura's back in armour, the silvery Gothic plate of The Great Pretender looking just like it used to. Well - not quite, for while the armour itself looks the same, the mist that used to accompany the use of her powers now surrounds her so thickly the edges of her form look hazy. The mist seems to follow her directions - at a gesture, a portion of it gathers in her hand and condenses into a translucent crystalline blade. Looking startled, Laura goes to adjust a piece of discarded armour plating nearby - and looks even more startled as she easily lifts it from the deck. Interrupt?]

2. (out and about)

[Over the course of a couple of days Laura experiments with the changes to her powers, figuring out what she can and can't do any more. Out on the deck, in a cleared space in the hangar, in a training room on the Asura - do you run in to Laura as she's experimenting, or perhaps act as her wingman when she tries taking to the skies again? Or did she perhaps come to you looking for combat instruction?]

3. (the Arboretum - locked to Dita)

[Picnic time! In a different part of the Arboretum to Laura's usual corner, though still a less-frequented one, she's invited Dita out to test her latest attempt at replicating a Mejire dish. She watches nervously as the other girl samples it.]

Did I get the seasoning right?

(Yoshika plans on joining everyone else at the party later, but for now...she's resting comfortably. Where, you ask? She was able to make it back to her room under her own power after enduring a mission that brought about the fall of the Neuroi once and for all, which also ensured Britannia's safety. One day, she really did want to go there, see everything Britannia had to offer and be grateful the nation itself had survived.

That's where she's at, curled up on her bed with the door open just a bit. She's also a little worried, too. The Fuso native did rebel against her previous orders prior to the unexpected mission, which meant that she was privy to sentencing under Britannian law, as General Maloney stated. Wake her up? She'll be rested enough to talk for a while, but she might have a concerned look on her face if you're Sakamoto or Shirley. Will she be sent home? Forced house arrest for longer than 10 days? She didn't mean to disobey, but...!)

[[The typically stern, calculating, stone face of the major is broken into a girly smile. She stands beside the newly-arrived stealth fighter, long after it's pilot has sauntered off to deal with the captain, or whatever other Chalice occupants might drag her away.

Clearly, this overly happy grin is something rare for the Major... She'd even admit her cheeks here hurting! Just what in the gosh-golly heck is she so giddy about?

[A small object suddenly emerges from behind the horizon and blazes through the sky, followed by a comet-like trail. It crashes aboard the White Chalice's deck, revealing itself to be... a pair of humans clad in armor. The armor being Black Cloud and the Great Pretender, to be precise.]

I promised... to return...

1.
[Reactions for witnessing the crash come here. Devon and Laura's armors disappear almost immediately, and they lie down on the deck without strength to even get up. Exhausted, wounded and even somewhat singed they may look... but they are definitely alive and conscious.]

2.

[Some time later, once someone mercifully dragged Devon along to the medical bay - she'll be busy lying in bed and recuperating from the recent hell she went through. Still, the bandaged Shifter is good enough for visits.]

3.

[Same as #2, but for Laura. Just as Devon, she is worn out and injured, but the medical staff predicts she will make a full recovery soon enough. Although she has an eyepatch on.]

4.

[Locked to Cheng, and happening BEFORE prompt #2.

The Shifter still had some unfinished business before she could collapse. Mustering what little remains of her strength, she stumbled in a zombie-like gait to wherever her husband was at the time.

And once she makes it there, she just stands in the doorway. And stares.]

[The plan had been to borrow RPM's Ranger Green while practicing with his new cards. But about half an hour into it, Ranger Green had panicked and teleported away. Somebody was probably going to find him stuck up a tree in the Arboretum.

So now, Ren was firing energy arrows at a hastily-constructed target. Burn marks indicated where he'd hit. Scorches across the Chalice's deck indicated where he'd missed. If you're coming to bother him, stay clear of his firing range.]

[1] Maybe it was just a leaning of the Chalice to the side on a turn, or maybe it was a little turbulence through the atmosphere. Either or, while Shirley was busy working on her striker, a wrench left alone on the scaffolding that was near one of the bigger super robots was bumped off.

What happened next was a shriek of pain.

[2] Shirley's in the infirmary now. Hairline fracture, nothing serious but it would put her into a cast for at least three weeks. She was really not pleased, but sick leave was sick leave.

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.)

[Laura's in the brig.

It's at her own insistence, as soon as she was awake enough to insist. Once the medics were okay with letting her out of their sight, she went in to a cell. She's staying there until as much has been done to confirm she doesn't have any more surprises buried in the back of her mind as was done for Cheng, and then some. And it's noticeable to anyone who's used to her appearance that her ever-present amplifier is not on her wrist.

If you want to talk to her, it might take a while. Aside from the exhaustion of the fight, she's spending some of her time awake curled up in tears or otherwise unresponsive. Still - if you're patient, or time your visit right, she'll be able to speak, if you have something to say.]

It had come to no surprise for Shirley that there were FANS of Strike Witches on the island. And thus, a bunch of girls were following Shirley as she told them about their exploits and their exciting job as mages for Britannia. A couple of girls had taken off their uniform skirts in solidarity for an obvious female empowerment side.

All of them had long hair in assorted designs. It's like a buffet.
