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 don't want anyone else to die! Not because I don't want to go to a trial, or because I'd feel guilty or any of that. I don't want anyone to suffer anymore, because they've seen someone they care about die.

I can't tell you how to feel. All I know is even if you've done bad things, I don't want you to die, either.

[alchemicals]

If you say so.

[...]

I've had it with this place. I'm done.

[ravagers]

... Mm.

[ People dying. The motives. The shadow creature. Getting to know someone, then realizing you really don't know them. It's all exhausting. Throw in those dreams, and Vanille's ready for it all to stop.

She'd give anything to see the sky again. To see Fang and Lightning, and Sazh... ]

I'm tired of it. Of him trying-- to play this is a trust exercise. Of getting rewards for surviving Fridays. Of dreams I never asked for.

[alchemicals]

Join the rest of us.

Look. After all of Kira's bullshit today, I'm not in the mood for people trying to tell me that they care about me, for reasons I'd hope would be obvious, and I'm not in the mood to try to talk about how miserable things are, because that is doing the polar opposite of helping. If you've got something to talk about that is neither of those things, then fine, I'm here to listen to it, but right now? I'm only going to deal with so much.

[ ... yeah, she deserves that. She's quiet a moment before, ]

Well... [ um ] what's your favorite chemical? What's it do?

[alchemicals]

[...Holy shit, Vanille, you tried. It gets him to lighten up a little, though, at least. So that's good.]

...I work a lot with nitroglycerin. It's easy to make if you know what you're doing, and my alchemy lends itself pretty well to creating it out of whatever's lying around.

It's an explosive chemical, used in bombs.

[ravagers]

[ she tries so hard. ]

Do they use it in fireworks?
