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.

[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.
