Day 243 // video ; action - sector 3 ; voice - private
[ Hello Marina! Is that the sun - the actual sun, somehow managing to penetrate miles and miles of harsh, unforgiving ocean? Is it a spotlight streaming down on the source of some incredible drama?

No, it's a young 'man' in a motorcycle helmet, lounging against a Vespa to make 'his' first-ever network broadcast. Hold onto your hearts. ]

Yo. Is there a mechanic in the house?

[ On second thought, maybe she better remove her headgear. Tossing her bangs, Haruka takes the helmet off - her hair flows; the air glitters. Apparently unaware of this nonsense, she fixes the camera with a brilliant, slightly mischievous smile. ]

I've got a little project.

[ Alternatively, you can find Haruka puttering around on her new ~~toy~~ vehicle - or, if you're in the Pa-Ching Arcade, peering over your shoulder and watching you play. It doesn't matter what game you're a fan of; she's checking out your skills (and if you're a girl, probably checking you out, too). Just...not announcing her presence. Yet. ]

Voice; private to Michiru

I found the beach. Shall we cruise it?

	[She's kind of like a cross between a cat and a dog. So when the stick is thrown for her, she dashes after it. She picks it up and brings it back over. She drops it for Haruka and waits. Michiru just stands and watches with a smile on her face] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Hey, the kid's good at this! Haruka keeps throwing the stick for Naiad, jogging out into the surf. This is totally silly, but it's not like they're at leisure to be investigating the prison every moment of every day. Showing that she's settling in and enjoying a peaceful, daily life might be her best tactic right now.

Besides, Naiad looks so happy to be fetching that stick. And Haruka looks happy to be throwing it. She even waves at Michiru from the, well, waves. Come join them? ]

[Michiru follows after Haruka joining her in the surf, feeling the water wash up against her and smiling.

As for Naiad, she’s not so fond of the water as they are. She avoids it as much as she can. But she’s showing off how smart she is. If the stick lands partially in the water, she waits until the water moves away to grab it and runs away before the water comes back]

	[ What a clever girl! Though Haruka laughs to see a pet of Michiru's attempt to avoid getting splashed. ] She doesn't take after you, does she? [ For Naiad's benefit, she'll shake the stick to get the water off it and toss it far away from the surf this time. ] Must be rough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Michiru chuckles as Naiad chases the stick again to bring it back. She was aware of the irony. It was silly that her little pet didn't like the water while she did, but it also made sense. She was a creature of the land and she was tiny] No, she doesn't. But that's alright. She's better when she can see to the other side of it, such as if I'm giving her a bath.

	A sensible young lady. Though - [ Haruka almost cracks up prematurely ] - anyone'd stay still for a bath from you. [ Haruka, not in front of the child. At least Naiad is preoccupied. ~~And a Pokémon.~~ The game of fetch continues; she's not likely to run out of swing in her arm anytime soon. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-11 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	Of course she is. She has to- [She practically blushes at that comment] Haruka! Don't say things like that! [She wasn't actually upset at what Haruka had said, but it had definitely surprised her. And that was one of the strangest and sweetest surprises at the same time] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-11 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	Why not? I've got a license. [ And she holds up the arm with her blue wristband on it, pleased with herself. You might have to wait for your fetch partner to finish grinning at your owner this time, Naiad. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-12 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	[Michiru chuckles and shakes her head. She is grinning despite the reaction to what Haruka said before] I don't think that's what the license give you permission to do. [i.e. say things like that. Naiad just sits down and waits patiently] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-12 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	In that case, I want my money back. [ She tosses the stick for Naiad, nice and far, then leans to brush Michiru's hair away from her face. Haruka needs this face nice and clear. For reasons. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-12 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	[Naiad takes off after the stick, bounding happily through the sand after it. Michiru chuckles again, leaning in closer as Haruka brushes the hair from her face. She smiles, having really been just teasing Haruka] Oh darn. That's a shame then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-12 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	Isn't it? [ And she'll try to sneak a kiss before Naiad returns. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-13 07:09 pm UTC (link)
	[Michiru gladly gives her a kiss in return, smiling at Haruka. She glances down at Naiad as the Eevee returns with the stick then back at Haruka] It's okay. She can see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-16 09:56 am UTC (link)
	[ Haruka chuckles. ] Well, then. [ She'll kiss Michiru much more slowly this time, savoring it. Naiad and her stick will have to wait. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-16 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	[Michiru kisses her back, draping her arms over Haruka's shoulders, stepping that much closer. This was nice. She had missed this so much. And Naiad puts the stick down, looking around as she waits for them] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Haruka's arms steal low around Michiru's back as she the other woman embraces her shoulders. Even without memories of having to live without Michiru, these past few days have felt like a homecoming. Strange, considering she's been kidnapped....but there's a sense of rightness in their being reunited.

This kiss will last as long as Michiru wants. And even then, Haruka will be inclined to break it slowly. ]

	[Michiru had the memories, of several months away from the person she loved. So this, all of this, felt right to her. As much as she hated that Haruka was trapped now too, she had her back. She didn't feel quite so alone anymore] [She continues to kiss her for a long moment before she starts to break the kiss slowly] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-18 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka's lips part as they dip slowly away from Michiru. She keeps their foreheads pressed together for one more, long, luxurious moment, and murmurs with her mouth still kissing-distance from her partner's. ] I like that better than fetch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-19 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	[She keeps her head close, almost ready to give her a kiss in return as they just stood there. Together again] I agree… I enjoy this more too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ As it should be. (Complete with adorable adopted child, even, except the one Michiru's found here is a lot fuzzier and less likely to end all of existence as they know it.)

Though as much as Haruka would like this moment to last forever, she knows there's a world out there and they better return to it at some point. So she nuzzles Michiru's forehead before stooping down to pick up Naiad's stick, except instead of throwing it she swings it back and forth in one hand. ]

Oh, that's right. I met a friend of yours the other day.

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-23 02:35 am UTC (link)
	[Yes... definitely fuzzier. She can't end the world, but she makes it that much better. Naiad wags her tail as she picks up the stick and waves it around. She waits... and waits...] Oh? Who did you meet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-23 02:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ Haruka bobs the stick in front of Naiad, idly teasing the Eevee while she talks. ] Formal guy, name of Tieria. [ She laughs. ] Bit of a stick up his... [ Speaking of sticks, she'd better throw this one before teasing turns into outright cruelty. Off it goes! ] Well, you know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-24 01:09 am UTC (link)
	[And the Eevee is practically spazzing! She wants that stick! Give her the stick! When Haruka throws it, off she goes, kicking up some sand as she tries to get traction. Michiru chuckles at the reaction and watches the little thing run off] Oh, Tieria. Yes, I know him. He’s really a very sweet guy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	actsmagnificent 2013-11-24 02:42 am UTC (link)
	[ Look at Naiad go. Haruka had no idea "fetch" would be such a popular game. ] I wondered. [ She figures truly prickly types don't end up babysitting their friends' robots. And tries not to tense herself, staying light and neutral, as she continues. ] He seemed....surprised I knew you. [ In both the literal and biblical senses. But she's being foolish. Right? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceans_requiem 2013-11-25 01:32 am UTC (link)
	[She looks back, a little confused herself at that] I'm sure I mentioned I had a partner before. I know I did mention you to others. [She was just vague across the board. She was private and stating relationships back home seemed more of a cry for pity in this place. They all had them] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
