[237] 'Lost Someone Close to the Stabilizer' group mingle
[This group's to meet in the warm, coffee-scented air of Bean Crushers in sector four. Inside the shops doors there's a plethora of cushy chairs, couches and bean bags to sit on and a small stage typically used for poetry or comedy performances. Today it's re-purposed with signs encouraging individuals to use it as a platform to speak from, though smaller grouping of chairs are there for the less social to chat in smaller numbers. Through out the shop is the typical array of goodies; brownies, coffee, cookies and danishes as well as other pastries and small bowls of candy on available ledges. For those who need a little something to get through things, there's also a small selection of alcohol available on the premises.

Several signs and boards around the room list questions of discussion, as well as stacks of cards for inmates to use as topics. (A few examples: "Have you lost someone to the stabilizer recently? Do you miss them? How does it make you feel?" )

[OOC; Mingle! Feel free to use any of the mentioned questions or come up with your own topics of conversation, though remember that the food is spiked albeit delicious. I'll post a comment for Rebecca below, but will otherwise turn off notifs for this page.]

That is true. It is hard to say what would have happened. There was actually another being inside of her that eventually took control of her because of it, but it's hard to say if it would have lived if we had killed her... or if we even would have succeeded. But the wheels had been put in motion for an attack by these monsters by her father back when she was even younger.

[She didn't believe they would have prevented anything, just perhaps made it worse. There was a reason Saturn showed up and they had nearly interfered]

[ he scratched the side of his nose, suddenly confused. ]

A person inside of her?

[ why did that sound familiar? Oh right, the noah. Of course! How could he forget. Frowning even more, he leaned forward, shifting in his chair and suddenly more business then casual observer. ]

I see. It seems you were placed in a difficult situation all around, but regardless, you were doing what you thought was best. You shouldn't beat yourself up for a might have been. You analyzed the situation, executed a plan, and never once stopped thinking. That's more then some people are ever capable.

[ and if he's brusque, it's just because it's a subject near and dear to him. It was so easy to drown in the "might have beens" ]

Yes... her father had some weird ambitions. There was a monster from another world inside of her. She - the monster - was supposed to gather energy to summon her master to take over our world using the girl as a host.

Thank you. I know I shouldn't. I can't change what I have done in the past, but it could have set the kingdom back. It always would have been ironic to spend years guarding our world from outside threats only to let one in.

You can't tell the future; you can't change the past.

[ he shook his head ]

But I understand regret. We can only do what we're capable of, even if it's not enough. You did well.

[ he leaned over and placed a hand on top of hers because, in the end, this was what Branch Chiefs were supposed to do. Comfort those who needed comforting, and give them purpose to keep on doing what needed to be done.

... even if there was no more purpose left to be had. ] Did this girl have a name? [ because it was important (always) sometimes to remember a name. ]

	[Well... actually she can tell the future to a point, but that's not what he was talking about here. She smiled as he put his hand on top of hers. He really was a nice person] Thank you. Most of this is after thought. I agree, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing for my world. Her name is Hotaru. Tomoe Hotaru. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he nodded ] I'll remember the name. [ like he remembered all the names ] She must have been a special person indeed if you fought so hard for her life. [ she had mentioned... family, before, yes? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Michiru nods] She’s a wonderful girl. Very brave. She still is even though she has been reborn now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ his brows immediately rose ] Reborn? [ how did... no, nevermind. He wasn't so sure he wished to know how she knew that with such certainty. Some mysteries were best left a mystery. Even if his fingers were twitching to understand. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes. She unfortunately died to save our world. A younger version of herself appeared only moments after the monsters had disappeared. This is how she has become my daughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he's quiet for a long moment, trying to understand how that was possible ~~everyone knows babies take at least nine months to make!~~ ] I... see. Then you must miss her a great deal. [ despite Michiru already telling him that. fjdks can't a woman just miss her child! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[They aren't normal. It's easier to accept that way] I do. I miss her a lot. She was still young when I was pulled here so that makes it even harder. She does have others who will look after her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he breathed a sigh of relief ] Then she is in good hands. You [ probably ] have nothing to worry about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-10 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	She is. I know they will take care of her as if she was their daughter as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)
