[Day 197] [Video|Action|Open]
[Action]
[Miranda's pet vulpix Lee is playing in grass with a few stuffed balls and bells, enjoying himself while Miranda works on the pruning and weeding her memorial garden. She's been at it for an hour or so now, but her distracted thoughts have made it take longer than it normally would.

Still, the thing she has in mind...she wonders if it would do any good. If people would approve or if last week was exactly the kind of reception she would receive. It's been sitting with her for hours and the idea hasn't left.]

[Video]
[She stares nervously into the camera, taking a deep breathing and trying to figure out how to say what she means in the most effective way.]

Um. Good afternoon. I know that things were um...very tense and not exactly comfortable for many people y-yesterday. And I know that not everyone will agree with me, but...I wonder if maybe the problem wasn't...having a place where we could talk about things, but that...well, we didn't have much of a choice in where, when, or what we were supposed to speak of.

[She smiles a little, awkwardly brushing some of her hand behind her ear so it wasn't in her face anymore.]

So I was wondering if...um, anyone would be interested in joining a...group that would meet every few days to just...talk? About anything! What you like, hobbies you had back home, or maybe even things that...others in the group could help you with. [Then she adds quickly.] I-It would be purely voluntary! And we could um...change the location or the topic and you wouldn't even have to talk i-if you didn't want to. You could just come and see that...we're not as different as we think we are.

That's...um...That's it. If you want, y-you can speak with me privately, an-and I promise I won't tell anyone anything you say in confidence. Thank you for your time. [She bows just a bit before cutting the feed.

...Only to turn it back on a minute later looking very repentant.] Oh! I'm so sorry! My name is Miranda Lotto. In--um--In case you want to speak with me directly. Thank you. [And she cuts it again.]

	If by "those girls" you mean "someone better than you" then yes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Negative. That's not at all what I meant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I heard what you meant. ["useless bitch" is it?] Only a worthless man talks that way to a woman, especially one like her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2012-12-13 04:21 am UTC (link)
	[He shrugs.] If you don't like it, you can cover your ears. Or put on some headphones. That's how I usually block shit I don't care about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She's a good woman who would gladly lay down her life for anyone, even a piece of dirt like you. If you're pitiful enough to talk that way to a decent woman who's trying to help people, either follow your own advice or defend your stupidity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sougo's so amused, and it shows on his face.] I would, but this is a lot more fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And Cross is actually amused too, because the moron is picking a hopeless fight with Tyki. Hmm, how soon should someone intervene...] Hope you enjoy what you're stepping into, brat. Don't expect anyone to bother saving you. [...Okay, Cross WILL on principle, but not until Tyki's removed at least one rib.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You have nothing to worry about. This is nothing I can't handle on my own. [He gives Cross a thumbs up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Laughing at that, good and hard.] [Then, disconnecting.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	General? [Miranda is a little surprised to see him coming to her rescue, but the Cross has always shown a lot of respect for women since she's known him, so maybe it shouldn't be... despite that she's still blushing madly.] I-It's all right, really. I um...I didn't mean to upset anyone by proposing this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're doing fine, keep it up. I'm just taking out some trash while you're at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She is blushing so much right now and trying not to smile because she isn't sure how appropriate it is. He's defending her, but she doesn't want him to put himself in the way when it's her problem. Still, it's very kind of him.]

Thank you, General. If he insists on um...being uncouth, I'm not sure what telling him to stop will do. But thank you very much. For caring.

	Don't thank me, it's what a real man should do. This brat just needs a lesson or two. [Not going into the "telling him to stop" thing because he's not sure it'll stop there. Some people just need the ever loving shit beat out of them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverenoughtime 2012-12-13 04:30 am UTC (link)
	Well, I'll still thank you because that's what someone who is grateful should do. [Don't take that away from her since she feels a little useless right now with how quickly this spiraled. She really hadn't not intended for someone to take it so poorly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rack_em_up 2012-12-13 04:32 am UTC (link)
	[Heh. Of course.] You're a good woman. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She doesn't say anything for a moment and then smiles again. Broader.] I won't. (Reply to this) (Parent)
