I have a dream that I want to fulfill with you...

[tsugomori]

[ Well, that was an extraordinary trial to have... it was certainly filled with many things that wouldn't be lost to the memory of most, even for weeks to come. Although, the return to "normalcy" could be something that wouldn't seem like it was wanted, it was better than the alternative to returning to anything at all.

With ease, Mikazuki find himself setting up the usual party in the usual place-- that would be the library of course. Notes have been slipped underneath the doors of others, or hung up on the walls to alert them of this post-trial "celebration" -- which was more like a get-together of some sorts now than a real party. ]


Please join us in the library again. Of course, food and drink will be provided.

- Mikazuki, Orihime, Hanyuu, & Estelle

[ The food and drink has been set out, what with there being tea, vichyssoise, cream puffs, and fish for everyone to enjoy. ]

I can't help but worry.

[ It would be easy to lie... but she's resolved to stop telling lies. ]

I can't stop thinking about it... [ The trial, but she supposes she doesn't have to specify. ] Everything's all jumbled up, everything that's happened here.

[...Lusamine can't either, and she goes to rub at one of her arms before she speaks.]

That's simply the way it's going to be, until we're able to get out of here. I hate to say it, I truly do.

[It's a mess.]

...I hate it.

[ravagers]

[ She wants to hug her. Is that weird? That's probably weird.

She's gonna do it anyway. Here's a hug coming at you, Lusamine. ]

We all do. But we're going to figure this out. Promise.

[elepe]

--!

[Well, that gets a jolt out of Lusamine to say the least. She...doesn't usually do hugs of her own volition. Hell, she doesn't usually pat anyone, or anything like that. She usually leaves that to one of her Pokemon if it's needed...but...

...it takes a few moments, but Lusamine tentatively returns the hug.]

Thank you, Vanile...you're incredibly sweet.

[...]

...I'm glad that I don't have to worry that my grooming will make me a target anymore.

[ravagers]

[ She's relieved Lusamine just didn't straight up push her away. Actually, this is going a lot better than expected. ]

Aw... well. I just want important people to feel better.

[ She pulls away from the hug and nods. ]

Me too. All of that... [ She shudders. ] I can't imagine...

[elepe]

[She's thankful Vanille pulls away when she does, at least. The embrace was nice, but a tad uncomfortable after a few moments...

...that 'important people' bit gets Lusamine to smile, too, for a moment.]

...It's abhorrent to think about. The fact that a man could simply do such a thing, and even think he could get away with it...
