[video | open] Defense Force... announcement thing.
Good day, Marina-- or, I suppose, Marina Nova. I hope everyone is adjusting as well as can be expected. We've suffered some tremendous losses [herself very much included,] but I am certain we will be able to manage things as well as possible.

With regards to the Defense Force -- with Suzaku Kururugi among those lost, and the Wardens confirming for me that weapons and life sign monitoring are no longer available -- I would like to make a proposal. [and she's going to make it openly, so anyone can weigh in... trolls she can handle, and it's worth the risk to give everyone a chance to speak.]

Although I believed strongly in Suzaku and what he did with the Force, there was something troubling me. In some cases, members' primary motivation for joining was to obtain a weapon. And while I know for a fact that Suzaku would not admit anyone who was not suitable, it nonetheless seems as though such a team should have members whose primary reason for joining is belief in its purpose. And further, I believe that the invasion of privacy that the former Defense Force utilized for monitoring life signs made inmates uneasy. I know I had my own questions about such methodology, but it was not my team and thus not my place to debate what was in place.

However, now that many things have begun anew, I am wondering if there are those among us who believe strongly enough in protecting others that they would agree to do so without the promise of a weapon, or any such personal gain. A new leader would need to be elected, and I would be happy to oversee the process if the potential members would like. Any and all proposals will be considered.

With regards to weaponry and special abilities for those who would use them in defense of themselves or others, that is a battle that I will continue to fight with the Wardens, regardless of whether there is a formal Defense Force. I believe in our members, and all of you will have my full support regardless of the status of the organization as a whole.

	I'm flattered, Tyki. Although I should like to leave that to the members. Are you interested in opposing me, in a sense, or merely interested in my hobbies? [She's a blunt one, yep.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He'd chuckle, but it only comes out as a wheeze.] I think I'd lose the vote. But I'd always like to know your hobbies. [Not oozing the usual flirtation, but not passing the moment by. It's funny, you see, you're the only one he felt up to chatting with right now.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm learning a far bit of poker, though I could always use more practice. Speaking of which, I found your cards in the pile. I thought you might need them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. I suppose you wouldn't know... Everyone was moved to a new dome in their sleep. The buildings we created as inmates in the former dome were not transferred here. [including her church, the one she made with Neil, which is why she's sounding so sad.] I'm sorry, Tyki. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[So now he's lost his bar twice. There is no bar. No bar to crawl back to, get drunk in tonight, if the bots ever let him out of this room-- no bar. There's probably a bar, but not his bar. The bar he just spent days rebuilding. He can't find it in him to get angry, if anything he almost feels like laughing. He'll let this dome swapping business soak in afterwards.] I almost wish you were a liar, Lacus.

Hold onto the cards for me, will you.

	[She may not like you, Sir, but hearing you in pain -- physical and now emotional -- does not sit well.] I will. That is, if you won't let me bring them to you. Along with anything else you might like. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Hey, not like even a little? But you're the gooey happy bubblegum fairy. And he's the guy possibly still with gauze on his face.] I really don't need anything. [Besides a smoke, but he's not up to asking you for that. He'll get someone else later.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Not even a little. But that doesn't mean she didn't once, or won't ever again.] I see. [And she suspects why you might refuse help, so flipping the line to an encrypted one to at least take pride out of the equation.] I can't imagine the bots have a soft touch. I would be grateful if I could assist in any small way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Whatever you can find works, I'm not picky. [Especially now, hospital confined and in orange.] But that's all, don't worry about anything else. [He'll get his cigarettes later, when the craving's built farther up.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[You know, he was happy to leave the gauze on his face not because he had to be there, but because he wasn't so sure his face went through this unscathed. But now that she's coming, he forces himself to take it off. Not an entirely vain man, Tyki Mikk, the thought of aching scars across his face was very off putting. But to his fingertips the bridge of his nose feels smooth, the feathers of his vanity temporarily smoothed.

Sitting up and making it seem effortless, now that's the next challenge as he waits for her to arrive. Her of all people, his first guest.]

	[She arrives in a light blue sundress and wearing enough of a smile to almost make today seem normal. And carrying a small bag, which she places in the nearby chair. For her own sitting, she commandeers the edge of his bed.] Are you healing well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noahism 2012-07-06 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Mm. [He nods his head to her, shifting his legs over the edge of the bed rather than stretched out along it on top of the bedding. It's a slow process as he swallows back the pain.] So it would seem. [He's not dead at least, for starters.] And how are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2012-07-07 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Well enough, though my partner was lost in the transition. [She hasn't been so upfront with anyone else yet, but Tyki is letting her see him when he's vulnerable, and fair is fair.] [Lacus reaches into her bag and pulls out the deck of cards she'd given him, as well as a bottle of red wine, a corkscrew, and two glasses.] Would you like some?
