[video] [voice - Japanese]

[baka_jyanai]

-The video is having a lot of trouble focusing, but some people might pick up the transmission as coming from Mariner High. The camera darts about, the owner taking in everything in a hurry. What's more, was who the transmission was coming from at all... Finally, she speaks in Japanese.-

WHY IS EVERYTHING DIFFERENT?!

[baka_jyanai]

Y-yeah... yeah... It's me, Flandre. -She gently pets at that blonde hair, taking in its scent and a plethora of memories with it.-

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to go away.

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre relaxes a bit, at the comfort...but she couldn't stop crying, or stop that keening, whimpering noise in her throat.

Eventually, she flutters up and to the side so Cirno could get up, but she doesn't let go of Cirno's hand. She's trying to be more careful this time; though her grasp is strong, it's not bone-crushing or even uncomfortably pinching anything.]

[baka_jyanai]

Um... h-hey, uh... Where are you staying now? I don't think I could live here without Kantarou or Haruka...

[then_there_were_none]

I was staying with Marco, until Cube came back. But Cube is back now, and I'm staying with him.

[She twitches a bit, as if reminded of the sun's presence all of a sudden. But she didn't move from her spot. Cirno was here, not over there.]

[baka_jyanai]

Hmm... We should get you out of direct sunlight then. Let's go, okay?

babby's first semicolon failure

[then_there_were_none]

Okay, Cirno.

[Even though the itching was bordering on painful, Flandre still took her time about it--scooping Cirno up and holding the fairy crosswise, but close to her still; as if she were a doll.

...though in the end the vampire just crosses over the relatively short distance to the hospital instead, before the shaking got so bad she couldn't lift her wings. She ducked into the doors, into the shade--and sighed in relief. This was better. Much better. She could think now.]

[baka_jyanai]

-And of course all of that concerned Cirno.-

Hey... Don't push yourself so hard, okay?

[then_there_were_none]

But...Cirno is here, now.

[She squeezes the fairy a little.]

It's not so bad.

[baka_jyanai]

I am... but I don't want you to get sick because of me.

[then_there_were_none]

I'll get better, Cirno.

[Another squeeze.]

But Cirno doesn't want me to, so I won't.

[...she should probably let the fairy stand up now huh.

Flandre sets Cirno down, leaning a bit to rest her forehead against Cirno's and closing her eyes.

As bad as everything had been, before she had come back...it didn't seem to matter so much now.]

[baka_jyanai]

It's been to long... so let's take it easy, okay?

[then_there_were_none]

[She can still curl her wings around the fairy's shoulders in a hug, right? Right, she's doing that anyway.]

Okay, Cirno.

[And there's nothing but cuddles for a long time.

Eventually, though:]

...does Cirno want to see the rabbits?

[baka_jyanai]

Huh? Rabbits?

[then_there_were_none]

Cube got them! When they were giving us things, this one time. There used to be two, but then there were five and now there's...a lot.

But they're soft and cuddly and I think they would like you, Cirno.

[baka_jyanai]

You really think so?

[then_there_were_none]

I do, and they will! [Or she'll...hiss at them or something.

Flandre leans a bit more to scoop Cirno up off her feet again.]

[baka_jyanai]

-She's pretty much completely okay with bridal carry.-

Now be careful this time, okay?

[then_there_were_none]

I will, Cirno.

[Another squeeze, and Flandre nuzzles Cirno's face a bit before unfurling her wings again.

When she takes off this time, she keeps to the shadows in a kind of zigzagging pattern; not nearly as fast, but it made her twitch a lot less.]

Did you see the plants, Cirno?

[...granted it was hard to miss the rainbow sock trees BUT THERE ARE OTHER THINGS TOO]

[baka_jyanai]

Yeah... What was up with those?

[then_there_were_none]

I don't know; it rained a lot, and the weather went all weird while we went out to look for things. When we came back all the water had gone away and the subway smelled like dead things and these...things started to grow.

[All in one run-on sentence, yes.]

[baka_jyanai]

... So just Discedo doing Discedo stuff again?

[then_there_were_none]

[Flandre trills a little.]

I guess so.

[She circles briefly around one of those multicolored trees growing out of a storm drain.

...though compared to those fish made out of words, these were much, much better as far as Random Encounters went. Flandre shivers a bit at the memory--then zips across the street and up the side of an apartment building before flitting into a window she had left open.

Though the room is dark, several white puffballs immediately swarm around Flandre's feet when she lands.]

[baka_jyanai]

-Cirno, upon seeing all of them, immediately gasped.-

Bunnies!!

[then_there_were_none]

I told you~! There are more, but I think they're sleeping.

[Flandre gently sets the fairy down.]

Be nice to Cirno!

[The rabbits--at least, the visible ones--clear away from the fairy at first, beady red eyes glowing occasionally.

But one comes back and snuffles curiously at Cirno's ankle, like a cat. Its whiskers tickle.]

[baka_jyanai]

Wow these are way nicer than Tewi's... -She kneels, offering up her hand to the critter.-
