[ If you're walking through Sector five this you might catch him wandering around Mami's ashen looking farm, inspecting burnt crops and looking for anything worth salvaging. The little farm girl wasn't around, and the fire damage looked new-- kind of disappointing because it was a nice farm.

Turning the device on, ] Anyone know if that little miss's farm's been properly abandoned? Haven't seen her in a while, and the place's a mess...

[Video - Forever filtered from Yuuki and Zero.]

I'm having my picnic now, if anyone wants to join me! [The man on the screen is laying down a blanket along with a huge picnic basket. There's obviously a lot of food inside for anyone who just so happens to come alone. He also has a few gigantic photo albums laying down, just ready for the viewing.] I have photoalbums and snacks! So please come!

[The man on the camera is ridiculously happy looking. How can you not come down to the Dolphin Observation Deck and join him?]

[[OOC: If you're one of those special people who are filtered from this broadcast, you have all the permission to just chance upon this and ruin Kaien's fun. ♥]]

[ Closed ]

[ Still clad in her outfit from earlier in the day, Jeanne had already stopped by her Shelter room and the kitchen to prep a quick picnic. She already called Fai to finalize their time, and now all she had to do was wait at the appointment spot in the gardens, swinging the baskeet idly at her side, and keeping an eye out for his approach. ]

[ Open ]

[ Once everything was done and packed up, Jeanne took the scenic route back to the Shelter, stopping along the artificial shoreline on the way. It was still a nice day, and not near sunset just yet, so there was plenty of time to meander and think on the pleasant times she had today. Occasionally, she giggles to herself. How lucky am I~? ]

[Fran has caught up with the one establishment in the dome where you can drink, and she happens to be interested in a glass of wine. She walks into the club and is immediately put off by the music, but nevertheless persists, drifting over to the counter and getting a glass from the robot manning the bar.

[Then she settles on a stool, at the end of the bar furthest from the music, and sips at her well-earned reward. Feel free to join her!]

[Still lying in her hospital bed, Lacus once again glances longingly at the invitation to Johnny's pool party tomorrow. The robots don't seem intent on keeping her beyond tonight (though it seems like she might need to use the oxygen a few times a day at home -- the bots were treating her like a Natural, which wouldn't bother her but for the inconvenience) and she had promised to be there.]

[With Neil so concerned, though, she was going to have quite a time convincing him. However, she was not to be deterred by his earlier hesitance.]

I have a lovely swimsuit that I used in Jeanne's spa bath. [She'll try starting there, though her voice is still a raspy mess.]

( Guess who's back )

[After a moment, Axel sighs, clicks on the video function and tiredly peers down at the screen, not bothering to make it private.]

...Roxas, Xion, Kairi. [Raspy voice] I'm heading home. [Even as he says it he's trying to push the blankets off.]

[ She told Lelouch she doesn't want a fuss -- no guilt, no questions, no one making a big deal about it. She's not leaving. It's about space. She's waited until the house seems quiet before going ahead with her plan.

Despite the mess her room devolves into on a regular basis, it all fits into a laundry basket and sack slung over her shoulder. II and Beagle also fit in the basket; Beagle is looking around excitedly as she makes her way to the door. ]



((ooc: She is headed to the apartment building in Sector 4, so if anyone's out and about, they can catch her there or en-route!))

( private )
Once upon a time there used to be two girls. One was a puppet and a doll and thought nothing for herself except when it came to one person. Naturally that kind of attitude is disgusting, so -- it's no wonder that the second girl, the smarter and better one, hated her guts. The second girl lived out her life every day thinking that the other was just a dumb, pointless waste of space that should've stopped breathing the day she was born.

Then one day they both end up stuck in one place. Together. The second girl doesn't want anything to do with the puppet, but some dumb and random things happen and they're forced to get along. The puppet girl isn't a puppet girl anymore. She's a normal girl that the other could've -- maybe learned to get along with.

But then she disappears and the second girl realizes that everything was just a total waste of her time.

Moral of the story is -- don't spend time on worthless things or you'll feel like an idiot.

The end.
