[Accidental Video]

[frozenmemories]

[When the video cuts on, you can see the side of Cirno's dress but can hear her voice. Someone did not mean to turn this thing on. If one was to look closely, one could notice she is at the dorms. ]

Hey! Sanae, Where have you been? I haven't seen you....Wait...No....Sanae this isn't funny...You can't...

[There is a clunk as the PDA falls to the ground and shows Cirno's face as words fail her. It's a sad and shocked expression slowly fading into anger. She stands there a moment before lashing out at the wall, punching it a few times before taking off with a frustrated scream, leaving the device there on the ground, like she never knew she had it.]


((OOC- She's taken off. If you want to look for her, just let me know in the comments. Otherwise she's just going to hide where she has run off to for a few days.))

"Or maybe the system is here to help fight against it." Yuka shook her head. "I don't know. But... it just feels like too easy an answer." That actually wouldn't have been her first way to describe it, but Becca lacked and Cirno had forgotten the cultural background to understand 'The first boss never has anything to do with the actual Incident.'

"Maybe it's just that I've been on the other side of it, but... I don't want to jump to conclusions too quickly."

She was a bit surprised at Cirno saying she didn't like this type of battling. She'd seemed to like the similar style back home well enough. Maybe she'd forgotten it? Or maybe her feelings had just changed after what had happened here. There wasn't any way to tell.

[pencilpremonition]

Becca sighed, shifting to wrap her arms around Cirno again. "I don't know what to say, Cirno... I don't... I don't know anything," she said, pressing her eyes shut to try to hold back tears. "I don't know what to do... I just... I'll hold you, and I'll love you, and I'll never leave you, Cirno, I swear..."

She didn't want to admit to the fact that she didn't really feel smart enough to help with planning or picking apart what was going on. She was certain she'd make a mess of it if she even spoke up.

[frozenmemories]

Cirno's face fell a bit at hearing the first part of what Becca said. She hugged Becca back, a look of determination forming as she listened. She did blush a bit at the last part. Love wasn't something she was used to...at least as far as she could remember."We will figure it out Becca. Besides, We gotta show what the Strongest of our worlds can do."

Yes, she knew this wasn't the best time to be bringing that up but she wasn't sure how to do it any better. Her childish mindset kept her from saying much else, as she wasn't to sure on how to handle this. She looked to Yuka, hoping that maybe she had an idea. "Right Yuka?"

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka smiled a bit wistfully. She wanted to express how she felt too... but she found she couldn't just say it directly like that. Part of it was the situation. But mostly... there were things she just couldn't say, the way things were now.

So for now she just gave Cirno's shoulders another squeeze, and hoped that it would convey her feelings somehow.

Yuka didn't say anything for a bit. She had plenty of theories about various things around here, but did she know anything that pointed to a course of action?

There was one thing.

"The towers. Lelouch told me that opening them would let almost everyone go home... but some would have to stay behind. And there was that insane stunt last week... I'm not sure how much I trust him, but the towers have to be important somehow. Do you know anything about them?"

[pencilpremonition]

"Send a bunch of prefects to the tower and a monster comes out. Then we have to try and kill it, quick, before we all die," Becca answered tiredly, squeezing Cirno reassuringly. "That's all I know."

[frozenmemories]

Cirno nodded, a sudden smile crossing her face. She sort of understood them! She was actually glad to be paying attention to them. "Ya gotta have one from each Dorm. I dunno the whole thing but Becca's right. Some monster appears and we gotta fight it. Players can take your weapon and give it to ya for fighting."

She pauses for a moment, thinking back to the first one , remembering something important, "But not if your player isn't there. I had to play 'Bait the worm' ta help out with the first one. But they could prolly just give ya someone else's weapon ta fight with." Not something she wanted to repeat. Being worm food was not top of her list of things she wanted to to EVER.

"We haven't tried to open one for a few rounds. We did get some cool stuff when we finished though."

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka nodded thoughtfully. She'd thought it couldn't be as simple as "a bunch"... or wouldn't they have already done them all? There didn't seem to be a shortage of prefects.

It also explained why becoming a prefect didn't seem to have a thing to do with any sort of school function - because it was really about -this-.

"Hmmm... What dorms were you in? I don't know if I'd want to try opening one any time soon... But it'd be nice to know if we could."

It'd be nice to know if they'd want to, come to that. The consequences of following this path were (supposedly) leaving people behind, who would perpetuate the system... but what were the consequences of Lelouch's path? She wasn't sure he even knew, and that was dangerous.

"What other towers are open? I'd really like to get a better idea what they are... I only saw a bit of the bottom floor in the Arena one."

[pencilpremonition]

Becca sighed, shaking her head. "I don't know. I don't know any of this. It's not something I care about. This place is better than where I came from. For all its problems, for all I hate about it..."

She choked up a bit and squeezed Cirno tighter. "This place is better than home... I want to stay here..."

Sorry! Got distracted very badly. Fwap me if you want!

[frozenmemories]

Cirno hugged Becca back tightly. She was torn in between wanting to go home and staying..and had been for a while. She just didn't know and didn't dare voice those thoughts. She started to close her eyes as she spoke, her weariness slowly getting the better of her.

"I was in White dorm..I dunno about many others, didn't pay attention....And I think that the one back at Conquest is open..That one had the fire bird thing..."

[justaflowergirl]

Yuka noted what Cirno said, but her attention was focused on Becca right now.

"I don't want to do anything that will hurt someone..." she began. "... But there are a lot of flowers waiting for us back home!" Yuka glanced over at Cirno. "Even our..."

Our what? She couldn't remember. And this seemed really important! So she pushed.

"nnn... ngagh!!" She crumpled over. Of course it wouldn't be that easy.

"aphids..."

[pencilpremonition]

Becca frowned, reaching out to Yuka. "Careful...missing memories are a bitch," she said with a sigh. "I know some people need to leave. But I want to stay. This place...it's the first time I've had a normal life..."

[frozenmemories]

Cirno's eyes opened again at the sound of pain, "Yuka! Please be careful....Those are never good to fight against." She also reaches out to Yuka, wanting to take away that pain.

She frowned again, deciding on something else she had wanted to do at this point. She should have the money for it...But that wasn't important right now.

[justaflowergirl]

"Thank you... I don't think I want to do that again."

Yuka pulled herself back together. "It seems I've forgotten someone important." She sighed. She'd been thinking about it, and thought she might know the real reason behind the memory loss... but she still didn't like it at all.

She was still worried about the situation with the towers... but there should be time to get into that later. She just hoped there would be some way to make everyone happy.

[pencilpremonition]

"I think this place has done that to most of us," she said with a sigh. "You'll be all right. Seriously, you can manage it," she said gently, though she shifted to pay more attention to Cirno again now that Yuki was all right.

[frozenmemories]

Cirno nodded slowly, "Yeah...Those charms are the best way...They are just comp...compli....complete. This place is just mean." That wasn't the word she wanted to say but she could not remember what that word was or how to pronounce it at the moment. She closed her eyes again after saying that. The outstretched hand stayed there for a moment though before slowly lowering to her lap once more. She wasn't falling asleep, just letting both her mod and her mind rest a little bit.

"Don't hurt yourself for this place...I dun wanna see you both get hurt or anyone get hurt for this place..."

((She means complicated just in case))

[justaflowergirl]

"I'll be careful..."

Yuka was starting to feel tired herself. It had been a long afternoon...
