---

Minoke Sato has posed:
After her new Traveling spell goes horribly wrong, Minoke just looks aruond in dismay at what happened. The rift was forming - but somehow it pulled her in and by the time she openedh er eyes again she was on the waypoint she laid - but the unstable vortex created hurricane-force wind gusts - so the ship parts are EVERYWHERE, along with sevearl tree branches, leaves, twigs, and a liberay dosing of dirt. She just whimpers faintly. "What am I gonna do?" she whispesr softly. "Mikoto's gonna kill me..." she whispers as she starts trying to clean up - first order is gathering all the branches and twigs first. She hopes nobody comes by - she'll stay here till there's some kind of order.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Unlike poor Minoke, Hannah has had more than a little practice with teleportation, and she's been long overdue to visit Miss Blue's little warehouse. Thus, not twenty minutes after order is destroyed and slowly being rectified, there's a gentle flutter of wind as reality tears itself a new one, and out steps Miss White with a whistle.

"Knock knock my spritely colleague! Sorry it took me so long to get here and take a look...at...your...warehouse?"

It's a disaster. A total disaster. And there's a familiar employee /right/ there. That's not Blue. Slowly, Miss White frowns. Her single hand goes on her hip as her Device feeds her data, and she sighs.

"...What in the heck happened in here!? I /know/ Blue doesn't keep her stuff in this kind of disarray!" She demands suddenly, anger biting in her voice upon seeing very valuable Device parts scattered everywhere!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa has arrived with a sneaky giftcard. A sneaky giftcard for lovebirds. But that's besides the point. She comes in an OPPOSITE door than Hannah and beams. "Hiiiii!~" she says, eyes closed in glee. "I've come to----um...."

"....woah did something attack here?" she asks.

She walks on in and looks around. "It's a messsss!" she says. She whines and peeks around.

"Hiii Hannah-chan~" she waves. "Hiii Minoke-chan~" she says. "Did something bad happen? Was there a fight!? And I wasn't invited!? Rude." she huffs!

"Regardless..." she says. "Hrm.." she taps her chin.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato just stares at the two arrivals. "Mi... Miss White...?" she whispers softly, lowering her head. "I... I was hopingnobody owuld come for a while. There was an... an accident..." she whispers as she hadj ust gathered all the sticks and tree branches. She gestures, as Vortex at her throat glows and she uprights a table and starts picking Device parts up. "I... justfound a teleport spell and it didn't go well... I'm so sorry..." She knows that Miss White is Hannah and she wantd tomeet her in a private setting for a while - but why NOW?"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Miss White /glares/ silently for some time, but then, she slowly softens. Haruna's presence does much to soothe the savage Hanners, and thus she finally rubs her head.

"/Oh/. Sorry, Gull-chan, no punching for your today. Well, I shouldn't say that, the night is still young. Point being!"

She then points right at Minoke. "You're going to help our dear Flameywings here to clean up. And so am I. Because I would hate to see her turned into chunks by Blue. Let's get to work kids!"

Clap clap! Hannah's already helping out.

"Still, seems like Blue has quite the stash. Some good stuff here. How're you settling in? At least you're practicing. Remind me to give you some teleportation tips some time." Wink. Then, she turns to Gull.

"How's the sis and Pidgeon-kun doing, Gull-chan?" Reeeach, hug!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa raises her hands. "Whoops." she says. "Woah, hey now, so something went bad that's fine. But WPS has test chambers, remember that for next time." she smiles, being a little understanding. Lord knows she's made her share of terrible magical mistakes. "What's important is... if that's the case then things are probably just a mess. Magitech tends to be made of tough stuff. You didn't compress any of it did you?" she asks.

She begins righting some furniture. "Heh... I came here to sneak a gift card into your pocket so you could take Mikoto-chan out somewhere nice~" she says. "Otherwise she'll take you out first and you should totally get to her first and win the date contest!" she insists.

"Oh I don't think Blue will turn her into chunks~" she teases.

She gives Hannah-chan a tight hug! "Corvus is fine. Um.. Aki is looking for you- and it's not to sock you in the face for a change! She's kinda realized she's been a jerk about some stuff recently but I don't blame her." she says. "Just.. if she does find ya, listen okay?" she says with a smile.

She peeks back at Minoke and nods. "Yeah let's help clean this up before Miss Blue starts shoving people over frowny facing." she says.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato murmurs, "I laid a waypoint down in here - one of these things had a repair program because Vortex had memory damage." She sighs as she uses gravity tomove a large chunk of something to the display case where it was. "Then, just half an hour ago, Vortex found a new spell - it was working but somethingwent wrong and... it pulled me in. Is that what my gravity powers feel like..." She sighs softly. "Well, it did work. Vortex, have you fignred it out yet?" Vortex beeps and then states, "Analysis indicates that the gravitational field on this world was not properly calibrated for, nor was ambient air pressure." She blinks. "I mean - it's not that bad... and it shows that Vortex is getting better... it's finding more spells..." She glances over at Haruna. "Well, thanks, Haruna. I'm glad to see you too so soon - a gift card, huh?" She smiles. "We'll talk about it once this place is in order? Not sure howto get all thedirt out of here..."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
And then there's a little 'ding-dang' from the security system, because Miss Blue is arriving. And she sweeps in with a happy little smile on her face, because she's having a decent day, and it's friday, and classes are over for the weekend so she can concentrate on all the new and interesting things she... was... going ... to... do....

"... I am hallucinating. This is an obvious fact. I am going to turn around, I am going to close my eyes and count to ten, and when I open them and turn back everything will be exactly as I left it this morning."

She does not, in fact, turn around. She may indeed have been employing hyperbole. Or perhaps sarcasm. The two have several things in common.

"What in the name of all that's holy happened here?"

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Point point! Point right at Gull!

"What she said. Still, I like that you're trying new things. Keep it up. Remember! Always have an ambition, something to strive for! The bigger, the more ridiculous? The better!"

Hannah laughs a bit. Then she raises a brow to Gull. "....Well, I mean, I'm okay with talking /while/ punching, but whatever works for her. Tell her to pick a restaurant, and we'll do it." A swift nod. She trusts Gull. If Aki is going to be good and not punch her, she'll do it. Hannah /does/ look slightly dissappointed though.

Hand wave. "I will listen with all of my truest sense, scout's honor!" Hannah wasn't a boy scout, ever.

Hannah laughs again. Poor Votex and Mino! "Well, at least you didn't end up hanging from a light pole like I did the first time. You have no idea how embarrassing that was. Had to call Sensei." Shudder.

Then Raging Tempest pipes up. "Permission to feed data, Mistress?" Asks the Device, in its English tones. Hannah grins.

"Go for it! Send over all the atmospheric and gravity data you can troll from google." Freaking Devices. Vortex is soon getting a beep for data transfer incoming!

A raised brow. "Dirt? Child's play! Hey, Gull! Let's do this together!" Then, she'll start to summon a gentle emerald green wind that starts to make a tiny little cyclone, sucking up dirt and dust. It's like a mini tornado! So tiny and cute!

And thus, enters the Blue. Hannah grins. "Yo! One of our lovely employees screwed up a teleportation spell! Gotta love beginners, right? Nice place by the way, Blue. I mean, before it got trashed. Don't worry, we're working on it. Send me the bill if anything's busted, but all the important stuff seems like it's in one piece!" A placating smile as she steers Hoover Tornado-chan!

Then she whispers to Minoke. "You should probably work on that date. Now. So she doesn't kill you." Giggle.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa thinks. "So it was an accident. Yeah that's okay!" she says. She's looking at the pieces and scratching the side of her head. She begins to make her best guesses on which table pieces go-- or at least groups similar pieces together. She's sure she's getting some pieces of this hilarously wrong.

She grins. "Well, let's get the bigger useful things put up then I have an idea on how to handle the dirt." she says. "Then I'll give ya the gift card~" she says.

She looks to Mikoto. "Oh no!" she says. She jogs on over and huffs and blushes. "H--hey now! I uh..."

"My wind power totally went out of control and I made a mess I am extremely sorry!" she says folding her arms in front of her.

Yeah- Haruna is trying to take the fall--- Hannah and Minoke know that she had noooothing to do with this.

"I'm cleaning it up I promise!" she insists.

Also she's a terrible liar, it shows in her tone and stance. She's trying WAY too hard.

Hopefully her friends don't actually let her try to take the fall. Or maybe they will! WHO KNOWS!

Then Hannah spills the beans. "Or--or that. Don't be too upset at her okay!?" she asks.

She nods a bit and summons up her PreChanMirror and changes! Becoming Cure Gull a moment so she can summon up some wind to help! That was the idea she had anyways---time to sweep up the dirt!

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato frowns. "Haruna... don't cover for me..." She looks at Mikoto. "Ummm.... remember that waypoint I laid?" she asks. "Well... Vortex found a spell she called 'Traveling'. I told her to try it - she locked ont o he waypoint, and started opening some kind of portal. But... something went wrong and it turned into an unstable vortex. Sucked me and a chunk of of the park into here... I was so hoping that nobody would be here long enough for me to restore order - of course, when Id idnt' want anyone showing up, everyone showed up..."

She sighs softly as she is manipulating the heavy things with gravity fields to put them where she remembered them. "I hope youc an forgive me, Mikoto. I'll lay a waypoint somewhere deserted and practice till I get it right..." She glances at Haruna, then over to Hannah. "By the way, Hannah, I've wanted to meet you for a long time. You've been such an inspiration to me these last few years after my accident... I'm a big fan of yours." She reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small picture of Hannah from one of her fights. "Can I have your autograph?" she asks. "Ummm... how are you seeing? Is your Device helping you somehow? I thought you had... ummmm..."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
"I had everything carefully sorted... okay, most of it was stuff I couldn't do much with, after Nanoha and Riventon blew it the frack up, but still." She stalks over to where one table used to be laden with TSAB data cores and a terminal where she'd been trying to figure out how to read them. Now, it's all a mess, everything dumped on the floor, the screen cracked, and who knows what condition the data cores are in...

"This alone is going to set my research back by weeks." Blue picks up a data core, sets it carefully on the table, then moves on to another. "I have no way to even tell just how much has been lost or destroyed in this... this..."

She looks up and glares at Haruna, then shakes her head. Then she turns to listen to Minoke's explanation. "... alright. I'll arrange for a secure area. But next time you're going to test a new spell, get someone to look at it first, who knows what they're looking at? You can come to me, or Hannah, or the Admiral if you have to... just don't go off half-cocked like this, alright?"

And then there is FanGirling. And more caaaareful picking up of data cores.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Reeeeach. Ruffle Haruna! "You're a good person, Gull-chan. Still, no taking the fall for other people. I don't tolerate that in my company." There's a slight stern note to her voice.

Then she relaxes, and peeks to Minoke. A thumbs up. That's the attidue. And suddenly, fangirling. Her jaw drops for just a moment. Then it closes. "....I have?" For once, she sounds dumbfounded. Then she blushes. And then she grins. This is a nice feeling, and she rubs her hair in a bashful motion.

"H...hey now! Come on, that's too much! Uhh. I mean, all I had was a goal, and I strived for it. Not anything different from motivated people. I just have a little more ambition, that's all." Shrug. A half-cocky grin. She's clearly deflecting and not used to this.

The picture is taken, and it's signed. She's not /too/ much of a jerk! "Yeah, sure, Minoke. Hey, as long as you keep pushing, don't worry about it. Uh. I'm glad I could help." Smile. Nervously. This feels odd!

"Blind? Bats don't have anything on me!" Grin! "When I'm fighting as a magical girl, sure. When I'm not? No cheating. My boxing matches are fair and square! Well, up until recently." Her teeth grit, and she rubs her arm stump.

"Point being! I don't use magic when I'm kickboxing. I use my ears, my senses, and experience. You don't need to see to win. You just need to be better than the other guy. Stronger. Stronger than anyone. That's the goal you need to push to do it." A swift, confident nod.

"They're good at that." Says Hannah to Blue. She's experienced it first hand in both cases, after all.

Then she's helping with data cores.

"Yup, we're always here for y...Admiral?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins at Hannah and winks~ "She's a big fan, Hannah-chan~" she says.

She grins and helps Mikoto pick things up. "I think everything will be fine, we just need to repair your computer there. I bet the screen's just broken!" she insists.

"--and this stuff already survivied being blown up, I'm sure it can survive being knocked around a little." she says.

She spins. "We'll be cleaned up soon. I'd get Aki over here to help but telling her about WPS assests isn't a good idea for the long term." she admits.

"I bet she could power wash everything thou~" she teases.

She grins at Hannah, then bites her lip though when she rubs her stump. "Well! You could already beat all those guys with one hand behind your back anyways!" she insists.

She looks to Hannah. And frowns a little at Miss Blue.

"She's talking about Admiral Haralown.. Lindy-san. She was the captain of the TSAB ship..." she motions. "...that parts of this wreck belongs to. She's with Virtue right now, trying to gather everyone she can." she says.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato nods. "That's the thing, Hannah. You were disabled, but you were able to make something with yourself. But until Vortex came to me, I was falling apart - I was even thinking of..." She trails off. "Mikoto, I was in the park. Alone. Vortex found Traveling and I told it to try it - it lockedo nto the waypoint I previous laid here and... I'll be much more careful..." She sighs softly. "Wait - the ADMIRAL whose ship this was - does she know of our collection? Is she ok with it?" she asks. "I... maybe she can tell me who once bore Vortex..." She sighs softly as she continues to help. "Please forgive me, Mikoto...." She raises an eyebrow at Haruna. "I was going to stay here all night if necessary..."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
"She knows," Mikoto says, "And she hasn't asked for it back. So I'm taking that as permission to play." She keeps on picking things up, carefully setting them back on the workbench. "And you're not to share that spell with anyone until we've got it working properly, understand? No one."

She turns and leans against the table for a moment. "Haruna, Hannah, thank you for helping to pick up. This is likely to be an all-day job... at least. I'm going to order in some pizza. Any toppings preferences?"

She rather carefully doesn't mention anything about forgiving Minoke... yet.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Twitch. "Definitely not, Gullykinds. No way. Believe it or not, I actually like your sister. I mean, she cares. She does. And I like that. But I'm not dumb enough to give people access to my stuff without at least a little leverage over them."

Then she huffs. "DArn right I can! It's just a pain in the butt. Hard to do things properly, you know? There's a certain stance and form you need to keep up! Argh, it's..." Teeth grit. A deep breath.

"Right. Anyway." Shrug.

Hannah's eyes narrow balefully at the implications but quickly soften. It's difficult. She knows that. And deep down, she realizes not everyone has her own deep drive and fortitude. She coughs indecisively. an odd thing for her.

"Well, it's not like we're that different. Me and Ao-chan almost die....ah. Anyway. I was saved by someone too. Someone very important to me. So hey. Consider it...uhh, 'Pay it forward'. Something like that." Smile.

Twitch. "Frankly, I don't care what some magic-stifling agency outside of this world has to say about /anything/! If a member of the TSAB tries to throw their weight around? Punch them in the face! I can't stand those oppressive, conservative, no-drive ambitionless...." Teeth grind. A deep breath.

"Well. I just don't like them. So do what you want, but this company is no friend to those guys. This is /our/ planet. Screw 'em all!" Clearly Hannah's an independence sort of person.

"But yeah, no problem. A CEO has to share the workload. So no worries. Besides, I need the practice anyway." Soon, four more tiny tornadoes appear. They all have emerald green tophats, and do a little dance as they clean.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa whistles innocently and slides a simple card into Minoke's right pocket. Slip! She makes this obvious with a wink but then hides this transfer with a hug. She looks over to Hannah. "That's the thing. Lindy is kind of... sad. She's broken. She doesn't think help is coming so she's just gathering all the TSAB she can and trying to treat them all as family n' stuff..." she says.

She grins and helps with the cleaning still. Wind magic being thrown around things being picked up.

"But yeah don't worry about Lindy trying to tell you what to do. I'd be more worried about the ones who aren't up to speed yet." she says sadly.

She smiles at Mikoto and grins. "This is fine, Mikoto-chan~" she says. "I had no plans tonight except maybe hanging out with Corvus and watching a movie- and he can do that with Aki if he really wants to." she grins and winks.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato nods. "Could you arrange a meeting? I'd love to meet this admiral. I'd like to know of the person who previously had Vortex..." She smiles faintly as she clicks her tongue. She then frowns as Mikoto still seems mad at her. She tries not to let it bother her. "Is there anything else that I can use gravity powers for? And of _course_ I woudln't share that spell with anyone if it's defective... I mean, I tried to abort it when Vortex reported an error but itw as too late..." She is focusing on using gravity to move the heavier pieces, as she tries to straighten up osme kind of statue.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto shrugs. "I don't particularly care for them either, Hannah, but they're there, and if we're going to do our own expanding, we're going to run into them sooner or later. Better to have good terms with them before that happens."

She keeps on picking up, and eventually all of the data cores are back in position. She moves on to the other workbench, where the things she'd thought were tools were laid out, and starts organizing that.

"Thank you both for that," she says, "I appreciate it." She looks up at Minoke's statue and squints. Where did that come from?

"I think we can arrange a meeting, yes. It may take some time, though."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah shrugs. "I'll admir, I don't trust those people much." She reiterates, then frowns.

"But if she stays out of my way, and her people don't get involved with us, then I don't have any reason to start trouble." Pause.

"More than normal anyway." Grin. It seems Hannah can be a good Hanners occasionally.

She's rubbing her head though. "...I can appreciate family, anyway."

Mutter mutter.

Then, amidst Wind Cleaning, Hannah leans against a wall. So useful, magic. She pointedly ignores the questions of Vortex's flaws and damage. An odd form of respect, really. She knows what it's like to have a Device that's wounded and hurting, after all.

She gently pets R.T.

"Hey, if you want to be diplomatic about it, you're better at it than I am, Blue. So yeah. Go for it. But if they don't stay in line? They're the first targets for being punched in the face." Scowl! Pause. "Second targets. Dark Kingdom is still king on punching."

Then, she concentrates on cleaning in the background!

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa smiles at Minoke as she nods. "I'll try..." she says. "No promises, but I'll do it!" she says softly.

She smiles and winks at Minoke and whispers. "'card's in your pocket, it's to the fancy resturant at the top of Clover Tower~" she beams.

She looks back to Mikoto and smiles.

"No worries, we'll get this done lickety split!" she insists.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato nods slowly. "Well. Ummm... I don't know where that statue came from. Maybe it was pulled in with me. But I don't recall a statue like that being there - maybe the portal snagged something else from somewhere else. Weird." She scratches her head as she watches Hannah retreat after all the dirt was cleaned up. "I had no idea this would happen, Mikoto. But nothing appears to be very damaged, does it? Other than one little screen"?

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto Nakajima nods, and gets back to cleaning. "I don't know what's damaged until I've had a chance to check, Minoke-chan. The data cores are the most important part... the rest is all, well..." She shrugs and picks up another piece of something, to move it along with the rest.

"So, Harune, glad to se you,how've you been?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins to Mikoto. "Perfect , actually." she says. "Can't complain~" she says.

She smiles and looks around and lifts more heavier stuff that can take some rougher handling, letting Mikoto handle the valuable data cores and device parts strewn about.

"So... you guys have plans soon~" she asks just teasingly.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato shoots Haruna a look. "Not yet," she states. "Well... ummmm..." She ponders, as she reaches into her pocket. "Would you like to go out for dinner with me sometime, Mikoto?" she asks curiously. "I have a gift card to Verde 45 on top of Clover Tower..."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa gasps in shock (and also out of turn for a second for effect, deal with it!?) "You do!? How nice! You two should go soon! Have a nice evening out! she says pleasently 'surprised'.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto pauses, and carefully sets down the item she'd just picked up, turning to Minoke. "You... want to take me out... on a date?"

It isn't like she hasn't dated before. She has. And she's gone there on one, too. It still takes her a bit by surprise.

"Your timing is..." She waves a hand, indicating all the stuff that's been messed up.

Then she walks over, flops herself on the couch, throws her head back, and starts to laugh. "Ahhhhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato smiles faintly. "Yeah - I know my timing sucks. I don't mean rightn ow. But - are you interested?" she asks softly as she keeps moving things around to try to re-establish some order, as she rolls towards the door, after compressing all the branches down, and tosses them out the door into a nearby garbage can. She rolls back in, sighing softly. "I... I... you didn't answer... so - those Data Cores - are they like the glowy bits of my Device?" she asks. "The Data Core is the 'glowy bit, yes Mistress. It is... the center of an Intelligent Device." She smiles as she gently pats the choker. "They don't look cracked or anyting..." she muses as she rolls over to check the cores.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa crosses her arms. "You should accept and take it as part of an apology for messing your stuff up by accident!" she says. She beams. "I can spend all night and day here cleaning if you two wanna go waste time and have fun, even~" she sing songs out.

"Or you can go later!" she says gently.

"Regardless, Minoke is asking you out!" she insists.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Eventually, Mikoto finishes laughing. She's watched Minoke the whole time, though, and doesn't mean to be cruel. It's just that she has to either laugh, cry, or start swearing, and if she does either of the latter two she'll start a fight. And she really doesn't want to start a fight in here.

She curls lithely to her feet from the couch, and walks over to Minoke, and squats down a little to put them both on the same height. Then she throws her arms around the redheaded girl and hugs her tight. "Yes. Yes, I'll gladly go out with you. Of course."

She squeezes her again, then looks over to Haruna. "None of us are leaving until this place is clean. Besides, the pizza will be here in a few minutes." Yeah. She had Carnwennan place the order online. Even pizza places are connected these days.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato just watches - the laughter was grating after a while when the question hung in the air. She then hugs you back and smiles. "Thank you," she whispoers. "I was half-afraid that you'd throw me out of here..." She hmmmms. "I have an idea of how to master this new spell. I'll find a spot where I could lay two waypoints, relatively close, and isolated, and just try traveling between them till I get it right..." She smiles. "By thew ay, isn't that statue a bit creepy? I've never seen it before."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa smiles and looks at the statue and head tilts. "I dunno...it looks fine to me? But if it doesn't belong here..." she thinks. "Maybe Blue-sama might know. Um...."

She pauses a moment. "Do you have.. a big mirror around here Mikoto?" she asks softly.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto hmmms softly. Then squeezes Minoke's shoulder again. "I'd never throw you out, unless you deliberately hurt me, Minoke-chan." And she's calling her '-chan' again. That's a good sign.

"We'll find somewhere nice and isolated, and maybe set up some instruments to measure the distortion, so you can figure out what you're doing without wrecking more stuff, right?" She pauses to take a real look at the statue and blinks. "What in the name of seven pigs is that supposed to be, anyway?"

She shrugs. "A mirror? Sure. There's a couple of bathrooms through there," she gestures at the doors to where the offices used to be. (There's now some small bedrooms, a kitchen, and the mentioned bathrooms, in there. Three of the rooms are labelled 'Mikoto', 'Minoke', and 'Nanoha'.)

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa walks along and smiles. "Just a second then." she walks away.

The hallway is suddenly engulfed in a blue light and Mikoto's and Minoke's device ping that she's no longer in the warehouse. A few moments later, there's another flash and she pings back to arriving, though she is alone, she sighhhhhs.

"God is busy but that's usually the case~ Probably visiting other Pretty Cures!" she beams. "Or inducting some new ones~" she says.

"He wasn't in the Cross Mirror Room, regardless." she sighs.

"So hrm..." she taps her chin.

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato shrugs. "I don't know - but... maybe... it's from another dimension... that's be WEIRD." She shrugs. "Of coruse, technically all of this stuff is from another dimension - maybe it's from the Arthra? Some decorative Midchildan art?" she asks, tilting her head. "And thank you, Mikoto-san," she whispers. She winks at Haruna when she's sure Mikoto can't see. "Wehn I saw what happened here, I almost cried - I know how much this stuff means to you..."

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto looks over at the returning Haruna and bah-links. "Oookay. Not gonna ask."

She shrugs. "I'll send the Admiral a photo, see what she thinks."

There's a 'beep' as Carnwennan complies, without being directly instructed. (("Message sent, Meister."))

"So, yeah, it means a hell of a lot to me, but ... it's not like it's ruined. Most of it was already blown up once. Twice, really, considering it broke off of a gods-damn spaceship that crashed into a dimensional wall and fell through spacetime to plant itself in a freakin' park."

She pauses for a moment to pull her language back under control. "Most of it... most of it probably doesn't really mean much." She gestures at the table with the data cores, and the one with the tools. "Those are the most important."

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato blinks. "Did she say 'God' was busy? Are you a priestess or a prophet or something?" she asks blankly, studying the statue. "Do you recongize the statue, Vortex? "Negative." She sighs. "Weird. Maybe it's still in the damaged portion of Vortex's memory... let's see. Once the portal spell is well-established, I'll start laying waypoints in good spots inthe city. My bedroom, park... other places." She shrugs. "Once laid down and in idle, they're virtually undetectable..." she explains to Haruna. "So - what god didn't return your call?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa stares then recognition flashes against her eyes. "Oh...!" she says.

"Sorry, I just.. call him Kami-sama or Blue-sama, but he's kind of.. a god? A guardian deity. Sometimes we just call him 'God' even though he's not-- well 'the god' one talks about in like the biblical sense. Ahahha"

"You should had seen Hannah's face when I used that once!" she giggles.

"Anyways." she says.

"Sure, if it's from Midchilda, Lindy would know..." she says softly.

She frowns when she's being called a Priestess. "...I was a Priestess before, but that was for a different god." she says wryly a little. "I'd rather not talk about it." she says.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
"Then like I said, we won't ask," Mikoto says. And then there's a 'ding', and she walks over to see who's at the door. And it's pizza! Yay!

She carries the two cardboard boxes over to one of the empty tables. "There should be soda and juice and stuff in the kitchen, if you want some." She takes a pair of slices for herself, with pepperoni and sausage. (The other pie has peppers and mushrooms and sausage.)

Pulling up a chair, she muses. "'Wennan, send that picture to Nanoha, too. We'll see if Yuuno-kun recognizes it."

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato smiles. "Yay pizza," she coooos as she takes a slice of pepperoni as she heads towards the kitchen and snags a soda and rolls back towards the dining room. "Well - my life just keeps looking up. Vortex is, quite possibly, the best thing that ever happened to me. If I woudln't have encountered her... I..." S he trails off. "Nevermind."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa grins at Minoke and just shakes her head. She steals a slice of Pizza. "Thanks, Mikoto." she says softly. She grins. She sits back. "Bad stuff happens to everyone Minoke-chan, but if there's one thing I know is that, if you have friends... things will get better." she says. "--and you take your friends advice-- at least the heart of it." she winks.

Mikoto Nakajima has posed:
Mikoto nods, chewing on a mouthful of pizza. She'll get a drink when she's thirsty.

"Trust your friends, believe in them, rely on them, and make sure they know it. And they'll never let you down."

She grins and waves her slice of pizza at the other two. "Trust is important. And so is the rest. But trust is the foundation."

Minoke Sato has posed:
Minoke Sato nods. "I didn't really have friends before I met Vortex. And then, one by one, you guys," she murmurs. "You truly are a blessing to me. And I actually got an autograph from Hannah. That was so cool..." She trails off as she starts to eat.
