Hannah Sharpe has posed:
To say Hannah's in bad shape would be an understatement. Laying in a hospital bed, she has a horribly bruised arm and leg, and only recently has she come off oxygen. Thankfully the internal bleeding she caused herself has healed thus far.

It's her heart that's the most broken. She knew that Eclipse was up to horrible things. She suspected it was deep. But even this small glimpse into what the leaders of the group she's in are capable of is enough to horrify, and worse, offend on a deep level. To take away will without any consideration for the person it's stolen from?

She knows what that's like. Sat up in the hospital bed, 'staring' out the window, only Boris' comforting presence at her side is keeping her from screaming.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Who's that coming into the door!? It's Nurse Haruna! Well it's Haruna using the nurses precard, slamming the door shut and looking like she just Solid Snake'd her way into the room because Hannah /isn't supposed to have visitors right now/.

She takes a deep, hard breath and crosses her arms as she sliiiiiides down the door to her butt and huffs!

"So what was it this time. Robbing a bank gem vault or something again?" she says as she hrmphs!

She gets up slowly and walks over to Hannah's side as she sighs and leans down and rubs Hannah's forehead a bit. "You don't look so good.. on a lot of levels." she frowns as she removes her head. "Something happened. What's wrong?" she asks suddenly worriedly, going from 'annoyed' to 'super worried' very quickly it seems!

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Wince. Hannah briefly looks like she's had her hand caught stuck in the cookie jar. Sigh. "More like playing babysitter to a Puella who wanted to do a smash and grab. So, more aiding and abetting theft."

Then she sighs. "...I also got into a magical punching contest with Pinkball in Super Pinkball Mode. As it turns out, using too many cartridges in a row is bad for your health." Once again, her own arrogance and desire to compete are biting her in the everything.

An arm wraps weakly around Haruna's waist. Pulls her close. Hannah /shivers/, in pain, in horror, in anger. She leans in, and whispers, a few tears spilling.

"Something happened to the Puella I was working with. I...she was fighting, and then suddenly, she started to let out this aura like a Witch. She went crazy. And eventually, her body started to break down. It was horrible, Haruna." She doesn't disguise the lingering horror in her voice.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa listens. "Ah...." she says softly with a frown. "So you got into a fight with Madoka into her crazy super angel mode." she says softly. "Wow." she says quietly. "Sounds like you did a lot to try to fight her." she says a little glumly. "I hope she doesn't hold it against you." she says meekly.

She frowns a bit and crosses her arms as she's tugged in close, and she sighs a bit and just gives in and sits down next to her in her hospital bed as she places a hand down against her stomach as she listens. Then blinks, and begins to grow horrified herself. "W--what...." she mutters. "Hannah. /What are your bosses doing/." she frowns. "Tell me. Is it related to the things you've been studying!?" she calls out.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
There's a brief, embarrassed blush. "I...might have gotten caught up in the moment, egged her on a bit. She can get decently scary when you make her annoyed." Pause. For a moment, she grins.

"...Up until the shenanigans with Atsu...She's the Puella...was one of the most fun fights I've had that didn't involve you or Ta-kun." There's still some Hannah punchyness left in there even after all that horror.

The touch more than helps, and after a few moments, she calms slightly. She's shivering less, at least.

"I don't know, Haruna. They're definitely doing experiments on Puella. I mean, I do the same thing, but..." She shakes her head. Her teeth grit. That free hand of hers squeezes the bed in a death grip, until it protests and she lets out a pained grunt.

"I got a text from Madoka. She said that Atsu 'wasn't real'. It...must have been some kind of dark energy construction, but that wasn't any Nullheart. I have no idea how that's possible, because that was definitely acting like a real person would, until..." Another shudder.

"She was acting like me with that damn sword, Haruna."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa purses her lips as she listens and just sits there, close to Hannah as she listens as she looks down a bit and shakes her head. "Are they making fake Puella Magi...?" she asks quietly. "Or copies? I mean....." she says quietly. "I know Riven-kun makes those dark energy copies. Maybe it's something similar to that, but not?" she asks.

"...tck..." she sighs a bit.

She frowns a bit as she closes her eyes. "Hannah."

She says quietly. "Maybe it's time to consider you're working with the wrong people..." she says softly.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah nods twice. "Could be. It's hard to say without studying them more." It's a good theory, and one she puts into the back of her head. Being on dozens of medications and painkillers right now isn't helping her ability to think.

That handful of words hits Hannah hard enough that she physically winces. She's quiet for a long time. Eventually, she speaks.

"I knew that already." She starts. A deep sigh. "There's bad, and then there's...that." A scowl comes to her face. Eyes close, and she forces herself to calm down. Her heart rate slowly calms.

"But I'm nailed to a wall, Haruna. I owe Sensei, and Ta-kun a lot. I can't just betray them." Her voice is thoughtful. Her eyes /scream/ planning.

Another long minute of silence and she's grinning again.

"Hypothetical for you, Haruna. If your ally allies with your enemy, are they still your ally?"

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa frowns and crosses her arms. "Yeah, I owe Tadase and Blue-sama but I still told them to stuff it when they tried to make me choose one thing over the other." she says placing her hands to her hips.

"Both helped save me from.. from the awfulness. But that doesn't give them the okay to try to boss me around or control my life." she huffs. "Just like it doesn't give 'Sensei' or Takashi the right to boss you around like that." she says.

She frowns. "Hannah...look." she says. "I know... how much you owe these guys. You've told me before." she says quietly.

"But the fact of the matter is... these people are just making more people like Ao-chan everytime they do something." she says quietly. "Victims with friends who want to do something about it... more Ao-chans. More /yous/." she says quietly.

She just kind of rubs her far arm as she sighs. "Sorry I just...."

"Nevermind." she says.

"Huh? Well. I dunno." she says quietly. "I know my relationship with Blue-sama is strained and so with lots of my friends since I've joined WPS properly, Hannah." she says. "We're still...friendly." she says. "But.. I dunno." she says to that question.

"I'd say.. not really. Maybe." she says.

"....I hope you're talking about coobs, though." she says.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah listens like a good girlfriend, up until Haruna makes a point about Ao-chan. That they're making people like her. And by extension, so is she.

Hannah sits up like she'd been burned, anger in her eyes. Then her body protests, and it all bleeds out of her. She's too tired and weak to even try to argue.

Haruna is sounding increasingly right, and it tears her up inside.

"...I hate it when you start making sense." She mutters, just a little childishly.

She lays back down. That mention of her friends earns her a squeeze, though.

"Jerks. If they've got a problem with WPS, then need to hash it out with me and you and stop being passive agressive little wimps." The Hannah-Grump is strong with this one.

Wince. She doesn't say anything, but the way her heart rate monitor shoots up at the mere mention of Kyubey's name might have an answer for gull.

"Ugh. I need to hurry up and heal. Can't get any work done stuck in a bed! And now I've got plenty of work to do."

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa frowns and looks guilty. Haruna is WAY too obvious when she's guilty. It's why she'll never be able to surprise Hannah with anything because you can see it on her face.

"I'm sorry Hannah I just...."

"I spoke to Mercury-chan about Riventon because apparently they're... something? again. I wanted to make sure she was okay because well. I kinda. have experience. Dating someone on the 'other side of the ring' so to speak." she says meekly. "And it ended up more talking about you and me than I intended and Mercury said I should speak my mind and I just did that...please don't...."

"Please don't be upset at me..." she says as she leans down and kisses Hannah's forehead. "I love you, and I just... I'm tired of seeing you hurt and hurt others and just acting like you have to do it when you don't because you don't /have/ to do anything!" she huffs.

She just kind of crosses her arms as she closes her eyes and sighs.

"You'll heal like everyone else." she insists.

"....Maybe we can bribe someone to come help heal you." she says softly as she manages a soft smile.

"Want me to ask around...?" she asks softly.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Luckily for Haruna, Boris is being a good boy and not helping right now. Neither is R.T. The Device occasionally beeps in annoyance at her User. Someone did a stupid last night.

"Hey, hey, hey! Quit it. Why would I be angry with someone I love speaking their mind? That means you /TRUST ME/ Haruna. Ugh, I wish I could hug you better right now." Haruna's so getting an IOU later.

That kiss. Hannah blushes like heck. There's a goofy smile, as she just soaks in the love from her favorite Gull.

Cue the next bomb to the face. She pouts. "Jerk. I get it, I get it. You're right though. I've been making excuses. I mean, I should at least do these kind of things a little more on my own terms." Comes Hannah thoughtfully. A shake of her head.

"Well, one step at a time, and said healing will be a good start. Yeah, if you would. Maybe Mamoru...heck, even Pinkball. I gotta talk to her anyway."

R.T. pipes up. "If you had shielded yourself Mistress, instead of blasting yourself along with everything else, you would not be in this mess."

"Oh, shut up you rusty coin!"

R.T. beeps smugly.

Haruna Kurosawa has posed:
Haruna Kurosawa has plenty of love to give. Even when she's mopey and feels bad and guilty.

Look, she has a defict of about two years of it. She has plenty to smother fifteen people right now probably.

She smiles a bit. "I do trust you Hannah-chan." she says softly. "I just hate hurting you even if unintentionally. Like this at least." she smirks. "Fighting's something else, yeah?" she asks softly.

She grins just softly and lifts herself up and sits down in a chair. "I'll try to contact either of those people then." she says softly.

"Hopefully Madoka will help. Mamoru. I dunno. Maybe he'll frown disapprovingly but maybe he'll help. I'll tag both, okay?" she says hopefully as she lifts her phone out of her pocket. Tap tap tap!

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Is Hannah sniffling? Why yes. Yes she is. For a member of Eclipse, she's rather fond of so much love.

"You can speak louder with fists than with words." Adds Hannah in response. Then, weakly, both arms wrap around Haruna.

A soft sigh. "Well, I can't promise I won't be a reckless, arrogant jerk, but maybe I'll stop and think every now and then." Hurting gull is the last thing she'd ever want to do. The mention of Mamo gets a sigh.

"I'm so getting a lecture." R.T. beeps. "Another lecture. Yeah, may as well. I've not seen the guy in an age, worried how this thing with Ta-kun and Miss SmartyBlues is going to go. Thanks Haruna."

Leeean, snuggle up nice and close.

"Now surrender to the power of White-chan snuggles!"
