Day 228 [Video | Open]
[Nunnally's mostly managed to get the sand out of her hair at this point. She almost looks like her normal self now! Except for that hideous jumpsuit. One might be expecting her to start protesting innocence or launching a tirade against the wardens, but Nunnally seems worried, not indignant.]

Excuse me, everyone.

This may sound strange, but I went to sleep in another underwater dome called Marina Asylum and woke up here. Did something bad happen? It didn't seem like they would need to transfer people...

[Private to Euphie]

[The communicator is similar enough that Nunnally switches the feed to private. She could wait, but not knowing is the worst. There's no Suzaku to be found, but the communicator does recognize Euphie. Thank goodness...]

Euphie? Are you all right?

	[But no, he had to pull it together. For her. She needed him. Even if she had her sight. The way she made eye contact with the communicator, there was no way she couldn't. And what was further, she didn't belong her. Not by any stretch of the imagination.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	zugzwanger 2013-07-16 08:54 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I am. I have been for a little while. [He's just going to ignore the gorillas in the room for now. His mask is rather fragile and mentioning her eyes or the references that she'd been here before will crack it.] Where are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[How long is 'a little while?' Maybe the wardens messed up again and he doesn't remember the other prison?] I'm on the beach. Should I try to meet you somewhere?

	Okay! [And while Nunnally would like to go do something about her attire because she knows it's going to bother him, she's going to find a handy bench. You don't just run off when someone is looking for you.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Lelouch made his way quickly to the beach, well, as fast as someone with his lack of running skills could make it. He supposed he shouldn't be too surprised. Euphemia was here, why couldn't Nunnally? He should consider himself lucky that someone like Mao hadn't been incarcerated here.

But what to say? Her enemy was Zero, and he was dead as far as he was concerned.

He spotted her in the jumpsuit easily, and approached her from one side.] Nunnally! [But her chair was nowhere to be seen. He frowned. He'd have to go get one from the hospital.]

	Well, we're together now. [And that's what's important. It's the only reason she can't simply condemn this prison system.] [After a beat:] I have a surprise for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'd never admit it, but he might agree with that on some level. People that should be dead are alive here.] Oh? [He does't usually like surprises, but since it's Nunnally, he's not too nervous.] What might that be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She was standing. Such a simple thing. But it last happened a lifetime ago. The possibility of healing he had faded with each passing year since their mother's assassination. But here she stood. Whole. Alive. He could see Marianne in her eyes.

He snapped his jaw shut. He should say something. But what? His mouth opened once or twice. His throat was tight. Even if he could find the words, they probably wouldn't be able to come out.

Unshed tears made his left eye burn a bit under the contact, making it bloodshot. He raised a hand to his face and placed his fingers loosely on his temple. As though he was trying to save face.]

[But instead of finding something to say, he finally just pulled her in for another hug. He buried his fingers of his left hand in her hair at the nape of her neck, and wrapped the other around her middle. As though he would bodily prevent anything from happening to her ever again.

He shook, ever so slightly. He had been holding in his own emotions for so long, he didn't know what to do with himself.]

	...Nunnally. [Is the return of certain persons, and this time with memories, going to continue? It's a selfish thought, but] They-- the Engineers-- claimed that there was no useful data or information to be gained from the previous prison, I believe. So most were brought to this new environment. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hello, Tear. [Smile!] Well, it's good to know the dome didn't start to leak at least. Is this new place very different? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A weak smile; that literally happened just a few days ago, but Tear isn't about to tell the girl~~even though they're the same age~~ that, at least not when she first gets back]

Some locations are new, and central ones like the hospital and the Force headquarters are in different sectors than the previous dome, but the basics are pretty much the same. Just a matter of memorizing where everything is now.

	Just not in Sector 6. [She's not about to let Lelouch's sister wander in and get hurt, either. And speaking of hurt... just a (thinned)smile and a nod.

[ Hei isn't exactly up for "public" appearances, but he can hardly hide away from the living, not when someone speaks up that he hasn't heard in quite some time.

... even if they may not have been a prior acquaintance. ] Ah, no... We were simply transferred to a new facility. I believe the... wardens had outlived their usefulness. [ which still begged the question of whether they were there to be rehabilitated or to rehabilitate the wardens themselves. ]

	[ It's with reluctance, that he allows the setting to remain, summoning a professional smile for the girl. ] Most people made the transition easily, of course. Although...

Nunnally! [Such surprise, but a good one! Mostly good at least. Of course she doesn't want to see her younger sister in prison when she has a life to lead at home. It doesn't stop her for being happy to hear her voice again or see her. Her sister's pretty eyes are open. That's good to see as well, and since this message is straight to her it means she must remember her last stay.]

Yes, of course I am. [How could she not be with Lelouch and Nunnally back? Maybe Cornelia and Suzaku will return soon too, not that she should wish such things.] How are you?
