Day 387 OTA
a. Video

[Today has been a weird day. Her mother doesn't know who she is again. There are suddenly more vampires around than there had been before and she has no idea just how many people are different from how they normally are. Ai is fairly certain that she hasn't been affected by whatever's happened but can she even be sure of that?

She does keep a journal by her bed that's filled with the more important parts of her days here and everything seems to match up but would that have changed too if her memories had as well? There's just no sure answer to that question so she can only do what she can.]

Listen up, resident of MarinaNova! Show of hands - who remembers being here and who just arrived today? I only arrived about three weeks ago but if anyone needs help, I'll do my best to assist you.

Should any of you new individuals be vampires, there is a place for you to get your blood called the Vampire Blood Shack. It's located in Sector 5. Please do not feed from any of the humans here unless you have their permission. If it isn't consensual, I will intervene. It is in your best interest to not bring on the judgement of any vampire hunters that might be around.

[Ai has no idea if her papa still thinks he's a hunter or what uncle Ichiro thinks either but she will do her best to make sure it doesn't get far enough to have them brought in on the situation. Hopefully this whole ordeal is only temporary and if it is, Ai doesn't want anyone to wake up feeling guilty about their actions today. She can't prevent everything but at least she can do this for those who suddenly became vampires.]

b. action - patrolling

[After her post, Ai can be found just about anywhere in MarinaNova. She's keeping an eye out for any trouble as if this was her job. It technically was back home but it was an academy and not a prison. Sometimes Ai is patrolling on the ground, walking through the various sectors with eyes, ears and nose on the lookout for just about any kind of trouble.

Other times she's perched up on the roof of a shop watching people go by beneath her dangling legs as Ai continues to keep her senses on alert. Today was going to be a very long day and hopefully all of this would be sorted by tomorrow. If it didn't end tonight, then she wouldn't be getting any sleep at all.

She might need to head to the Blood Shack herself if that's the case because there was no way Ai was going feed off a mother who didn't know she was Ai's mother. Hopefully this wasn't permanent because she hadn't told Yuuki anything about being her daughter and didn't plan to.]

c1. action - stationary

[At some point in the day Ai went by the library and checked out a heaping pile of books. All of them are currently piled up on an outdoor table and she's flipping through them at an alarming rate. Every single book is about technology but whatever she's looking for is obviously not yet found as she places it on top of an ever growing while she grabs another one.

Her eyes flicker left to right as she scans through the information laid out before her.]

Is it because of the dimensional stabilizer maintenance?

[Ai might seem like she's not paying attention to her surroundings - too engrossed in her research but that's the case at all. The moment someone heads for her, her head pops up to look over at them.]

c2. action

[The problem with checking out so many books is that they have to be returned. Which means that Ai is carrying a stack of books that's literally taller than she is back to the library. It doesn't look as if she has any trouble actually holding on to them - she isn't struggling under the sheer weight of them. In fact, the stack isn't even really wobbling.

What is happening is that she can't see where she's going. The books are blocking her line of vision and while she can rely on what she can actually see or smell or sense - that doesn't mean it's going to be a perfectly smooth trip.

She just so happens to bump into another person. It'll upset the stack and send it tumbling down on the pair of them. One lands on top of her head directly and even she winces a little.]

Ow.

[Ai smiles a little then, softly and it's not an entirely happy one but he made her feel better with his outrage. She hadn't gotten angry about the situation herself because it dragged on her - having her parents not know her a second time. And she tried so hard to not be too upset by it either but she was.]

Thank you, Kija.

[Now she pulls lightly on their connected hands in order to pull him down because he is way too tall. Gently but insistently she makes him lean down enough and once he's in range, Ai will place a kiss upon his cheek.]

You're sweet to get so worked up on my behalf.

[It's her words that first calm him. He doesn't care if he gets into trouble. What more can the wardens possibly do, they're already in prison. If rehabilitation is really what they are after, then why do something that can clearly hurt her.

But her voice is firm, but soft, and her grip tight. His gaze drops back down to her and his frustration melts into more of a frown. He's at a loss as to what he can do to help her then.]

. . . Of course. I won't do something that will leave you alone.

[Not when she's clearly feeling lonely already. It's just embittering- the desire to help and yet not being able to do so. What's worse... is the fact that those feelings have to be so much stronger for her. Even still, she thanks him...

Even though he hasn't been able do to anything for her.]

Not at all...

[She tugs on his hands, and that's when he seems to become aware of the fact that he had taken her hands to begin with. He opens his mouth, but she drags him down nearer her, and his eyes widen when all at once he feels the soft brush of her lips against his cheek.

Face coloring red, he does all he can in the moment to prevent his heart from hammering away from him. It's not the time.]

P-Please just let me know if there is anything I can do in the meantime. You do not have to fight alone.

[There that's better. He's calmer about the situation and not likely to run off on her now to confront either the wardens or her family. As for what they could do to Kija - they could send him to sector 6 and not allow him back into the main part of the facility. While he could possibly survive, he would be there without the rest of his friends. That's something Ai would like to prevent.

Just the mere thought that he would go through so much trouble for her is enough. It isn't as if her family is gone and Ai will never see them again but there still had been pain looking into their faces and seeing no real recognition.]

Good, I would certainly miss you terribly if something were to happen to you.

[An ache dwells deep in her chest and clenches tightly around her heart but there isn't anything she can do about it. She can't tell them and make that pain worse. This is different from when Ai first encountered her parents. So much wasn't the same for them and Ai can't destroy what happiness they've got with these new lives.

Joy reaches the corner of her eyes, makes them wrinkle just a bit at the shade his face is turning from her simply innocent but yet heart-felt kiss to his cheek. Ai frees one of her hands and reaches up to pat his cheek in a friendly manner. Idly she wonders if he'll freak out more when her back is turned or when he's back to normal.]

I will. Now, what do you say we return these books and find something else to do for a little while?

[A mischievious spark lights up her eyes.]

There's a bicycle place in Sector Four. You pedal, I'll steer and we'll ride through the dome as fast as possible.

[It takes no time at all for her to make a split second decision. The moment she decides they should return the books, there's no turning back. He's learned, in their short time within Marina so far, that once she's set her mind on something, there isn't any persuading her.

His heart hammered heavily within his chest even after her touch disappeared, but he managed to keep his voice level. He thought.]

A bicycle, Lad-- [Ah-- again.] Ai?

[It's going to take some getting used to...

He's not sure what to think about their activity, but it's clear that it might help distract her and keep her mind off her parents. And so he agrees in the end. In his mind, he's having trouble picturing how to make her scenario work. If she's steering, and he's pedaling...

Turning that over in his head, he follows after her.]

I have seen a couple people riding them in the dome before. You have a wide variety of interests.

[Not only is Ai thinking about herself but also what Kija said to her earlier. He wants to be out in the sun. There are better things they could be doing besides sitting around reading books. While that might be nice every now and then, they should also be enjoying this nice day.

Ai looks at him as he starts in on the title but doesn't need to glare even a little before he's correcting himself.

With books in hand, she leads the way to library to return them so they can continue on unhindered by the load. It certainly will keep her mind off her parents and there are plenty of ways for this to work out. She's already thinking about the many ways (a few which may fluster Kija).]

As have I and I wanted to do it. When you live as long as we do, Kija, you have time to become interested in many things.

[How ironic it is, that her life should be so long, and his expected to be so short. Knowledge of which he doesn't have in the moment. But even in the here and now, he knows that the great length span of one of the pureblood rivals no others.

And yet here she is and truly so young.]

I've taken a number of hobbies since awaking in Marina. [All of which is true- during this odd day and in their normal lives.] I started doing pottery [For some odd reason] along with checking out their music programs.

[He's amused for a moment.] Although perhaps that one is not so surprising. [Considering how music and sound tend to walk hand in hand with him.]

[Living so long is not that big of a blessing. Maybe, if she had someone she loved who could live as long as she. Maybe if her parents could live as long. But her papa won't live as long as the rest of them. She doesn't know what her mother do when he's gone if father hasn't woken up then.

Things will be truly interesting when Kija is back to normal and all of these details are no longer lost on him.]

It's odd to have such a normal life in prison. [Truly. Ai is getting an education and simply enjoying herself in other ways. None of the responsibilities that come with being a pureblood either.] Pottery? What have you made so far?

[No really, she wants to know.

To Kija she probably shouldn't be surprised by the music considering his comment. This is something she's supposed to know but she doesn't.] I haven't taken up any such hobbies of my own. Merely flit between one activity to the next. Maybe I should continue the lessons papa was teaching me once upon a time.

[ . . .

While he felt rather proud of his work in the pottery class, he feels almost a little embarrassed to share.]

I... have only made two things so far. [They aren't much.] I tried to make a dragon. [Much more similar to an eastern version vs the western picture of one.] and a cup.

[Both had taken a lot of work. But especially the dragon.]

But... what teachings would that be? [It's good that she has a relationship with her father.]

[No no, he has to share. And show them to Ai.

She looks up at him at that even as she enters the library and heads to the desk to drop off her pile of books. Then continues to stare at him.]

We're taking a detour. I want to see them. [Ai will go to his apartment or to the pottery building if she has to in order to see them.

Ah, so he doesn't know about that.]

He was teaching me to fight hand-to-hand combat as I was growing up. I stopped for a while to focus on other things. Papa also taught me to shoot a gun should I ever find the need to.

[Not that she's ever really needed to. The hand-to-hand combat is nice good.]

Mother taught me how to wield a staff when it came to defending myself.

[Wait... what? Putting down the books hurriedly, he turns so that he can fall back in step with her, suddenly embarrassed.]

T-They aren't all that special. [The dragon was particularly difficult to make...] I am sure that compared to your steady hand both would have turned out much more smooth. [But he'll lead her to his place...]

You learned such worthwhile lessens from your parents. When you consider that, as well as your name, it seems clear that you are very loved.

[Hands swing behind her back and she clasps them together, spinning on a heel so that she can walk backwards and look at him.]

They're special because you made them. [Tilts her head curiously.] Will you make something for me, Kija?

[She says it so seriously that he can't possibly take it as a joke or as teasing. Truly she does want something he's made so she can keep it - just in case.]

I've never tried my hand at pottery but my drawings as a child weren't very good so I may be terrible at attempting to make something out of clay.

[Really, she remembers the "squirrel" she drew on the exchange diary with Zero.]

They are good parents, wanting to teach me everything about the world. [Not just the things that could save her life someday.] Mother is the one who named me. Papa or father had nothing to do with it.

[Truly she has too much faith in his abilities. Evenso, as she spins around on her heal, he can't help but find the action endearing. She's...c-cute. Lifting a hand up to his cheek he scratches it a moment, before he smiles and relents.

What can it hurt? Especially if it will make her smile.]

If you think my pottery attempts are worthy as a gift, then I will gladly make you something. [He'll have to work at it for many more hours. If it is for her, then he wants it to be impressive.] You will have to tell me if you have a preference in what.

[Something cute, like a flower? Or something strong and fierce, just like her spirit.]

I am sure that your father and papa-- [Two different men? Did she lose a parent, like him?] find it just as beautiful. However, it was my mother who named me as well. It seems we share something in common.

[It could look like a five year old did it and Ai would still want it. Because it isn't about what it looks like and more about the memory behind its existence. Which she will surely write about in her journal - both this moment and the one where he gives it to her.

Ai is very well that she could demand anything of him and he'd do it but that isn't how she wants to do things. Not all of the time. She wants him to want to do this.]

Seeing your first two projects will not sway my mind one way or the other. I already know I would like it. [Once again she spins around so that she's walking the right way.] You decide what to make.

[All she really wants is something from him - it doesn't matter what it is. After all, it's the thought that counts.

Clearly he's very confused about the two father situation as other people are.] I wouldn't know what father thinks but mother tells me that he would love me.

Is there a meaning to your name? [It isn't Japanese like her own or the rest of her family but maybe in some other language.]

You are much too kind.

[But for all of how he's sure his pottery must look pretty sad, it seems he's pleased enough that she has such confidence in him. Or rather, that to her it doesn't matter much one way or the other.]

A surprise, then. [He'll think carefully on what he thinks might best suit her. Quiet for a moment, he watches her back as she walks. Then she never met her father. Her family situation is complicated it seems. More than he might have thought.]

If she says such, I would not doubt it. [Soft and reassuring.]

As for myself... [He thinks over the question for a moment.] I believe that my mother simply named me after a historical figure from long ago. Perhaps they thought I would live up to such a legacy?

I'm not sure it has anything to do with kindness.

[More like selfishness. This way she'll have something that reminds her of him if he ever leaves or forgets her. Like the way her plant is a reminder of her mother.]

A surprise, then. [Ai is agreeing with that. She is curious to know what he comes up with to make for her. Especially if he returns to normal before the project is complete.]

It isn't that I doubt it, it's that... [Ai bites at her bottom lip for a moment.] I've heard stories about father from all kinds of different people. Most who respect him but he is a complicated man. I worry about what he'll think of me when he wakes up.

[That is one thing she gets from her mother, the unwavering belief that Kaname would wake up one day.]

What sort of historical figure?

I cannot imagine that he would find you as anything but delightful.

[If for some reason he doesn't, then surely the problem is with him and not her.]

Should he think differently, then he clearly doesn't deserve you.

[And he believes that fully. Her questions can only leave him thinking again. He never paid it too much attention in the end.]

He is a famous historical king who supposedly brought Chinese civilization-- such as rice and writing to Korea.
