[Action | Open]
[She's a little absent-minded this morning - the events of the night before are still whirling through her thoughts, causing little thrills of excitement and nervousness which seem to wipe her mind clean the moment they hit. She manages to get up on time and get ready for her shift well enough, but after putting together her lunch, she leaves the little box on the counter and wanders out the door.

Once she arrives, she takes a moment to make a cup of tea before she begins what she hopes will be a somewhat interesting shift; not that she wants anyone to fight or get hurt, but she needs something to draw her out of her thoughts. She also looks quite different from most days: she's unusually dressed up for a simple shift, and very oddly for her, her hair is loose around her shoulders and brushed to a shine. She's even got a touch of gloss on her lips, although that's as far as she dared go with makeup.

Anyone who comes into HQ will find her dipping a teabag in and out of a mug, staring off into the distance.]

	Oh! [She jumps a little, slopping some tea over the edge of her mug but not, thankfully, onto her hands. When she sees Minako smiling playfully at her, the inevitable blush creeps up her cheeks.] Oh, hi. D-Did you come to talk to Suzaku? [Play it cool, play it cool.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aah! Careful with that! [she wasn't expecting such a big reaction!] That's part of the reason I'm here! Remember how I was asking about missing people? [her expression softens to a much more gentle one.] [she's not exactly suggesting Nakama has bad memory, but it doesn't hurt to remind her, nonetheless!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh! Of course! I'm sorry... [She wipes up her mess, then hurries over to her workstation.] What was your friend's name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[/follows!] He's... [she falters for a moment, realizing how odd it might be to name Minato, when his name is so similar to her own, but...] Minato Arisato. I'm counting on you!

((ooc: going to loosely translate 'yorushiku' here as 'I'm counting on you.

oh, and her thread of meeting with Suzaku will be on his post itself, so just assume she'll be waiting here for a while longer after they're done!))

	Mina - to - ? [She looks confused for a moment. A brother? But Minako hasn't corrected her when she's said 'friend'... Anyway, it's none of her business. She checks the screen for a moment, then looks up with a frown.] I'm sorry. He's gone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah... [she gets why she's confused, but thinks she'll explain that another time... if she does at all.]

Ahh... I guessed as much. [this means... he's probably back there... For that reason. She'll... tell the others, then.]

[just going to keep... hiding that pain with a smile as much as possible, though she feels terrible inside...] Thanks, Nakama. [it's strange, though... Why does it hurt so much even though she doesn't even know him that well yet?]

	Are - you gonna be okay? [She's almost always smiling, so it's so hard to tell when she's really hurting.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	headphonesgirl 2011-05-13 02:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [she ruffles the younger girl's hair just a tiny bit, but not enough to mess it up!] I'll be fine. Don't worry! [this is... nothing, compared to the last number of days. But it's always nice to know that there's still someone that cares about her, either way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agoodfamily 2011-05-13 02:34 pm UTC (link)
	Was he someone from your world? [Really curious about the names, but she doesn't want to pry too much right away. If it's obvious that she doesn't want to talk about him, Nakama will quiet down.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	headphonesgirl 2011-05-13 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	Something like that. [it doesn't sound like a straight answer, but that's just what it is. still maintaining that cheerful facade of hers, though.] Remember what I told you about having friends that come from different versions of my world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agoodfamily 2011-05-13 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... [Still has no idea she's about to find out just how weird alternate worlds can be.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	headphonesgirl 2011-05-13 03:00 pm UTC (link)
	[a tiny bit on the hesitant side, but she tells her anyway.] He's supposed to be me, in that version of my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agoodfamily 2011-05-13 03:04 pm UTC (link)
	Wh - [Okay, no. She needs to take a minute and think about this. ... nope, still weird as all hell.] So... there's... a male version... of you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	headphonesgirl 2011-05-13 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	... [fully aware that it's weird, but...] ... Yeah. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agoodfamily 2011-05-13 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	That's... I knew worlds could be different, but... [Thinking about it a little more clear-headedly now.] And all of your friends came from worlds with him instead of you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	headphonesgirl 2011-05-13 03:21 pm UTC (link)
	For now, yes. [she might begin to seem a little sad, even if she's still maintaining that facade quite well.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	agoodfamily 2011-05-14 02:28 pm UTC (link)
	Oh gosh, Minako... [She can't even imagine. Having Ushiro stare through her and say no, you weren't one of us... the thought makes her go cold all over. She comes around the desk and gives Minako a tight hug. In strange, inexplicable little ways, this place can be so cruel.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[she shuts her eyes just for a moment, forcing the brightest smile she can muster-] I'll be alri-- [she was about to say, then Nakama comes around and gives her this hug..]

[and charisma break is go. Nakama? You might just feel your hair getting a bit wet right now, with Minako's tears. She's not exactly crying, though... It's just that... She can't stop these tears from flowing out. She returns the hug, embracing the smaller girl warmly.] Thanks, Nakama...

	I'm sure once they get to know you, you'll be just as close as you were back home. I know it. [Stroking her back gently.] You're so nice. Anyone would want to be your friend. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	headphonesgirl 2011-05-14 02:53 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. [she hums in agreement, silently, while maintaining her embrace with the smaller girl with one arm(partially so as to not let Nakama see those tears), and wiping off the tears with the other.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
