|Poses=:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama was coming to lacrima's house. She had a smile on her face and was practically rocking back and forth when she knocked on the door... When it was finally opened...<br /><br />Surprise Unmei hug. "Guess what guess what guesswhatguesswhatguesswhat!" Eep! "My magic is back! I can be Clotho again! Also, I brought all three seasons of Vampire Warrior Aurora!" she said happily. "It's okay they aren't too long so we can probably bounce them out in two days, one if I spent the night!" she said happily.

:'''{{#var:160|Norie Okana| (160)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>It's a Norie Day. That means Lacrima is being Norie--- despite Norie being a missing persons still. Norie isn't pale, and violet features are missing, and the hair is a big shorter-- not 'lower back length', but does come just below her shoulders. She is wearing normal, casual clothes-- the floral patterned shirt, black skirt.<br /><br />She peeks the door open and looks out behind Unmei then rushes her inside. Kind of important no one recognizes 'Norie'.<br /><br />"Hi Unmei-chan." she says. She blinks. "Is that the show you mentioned?..." she asks softly.<br /><br />A pause. "I'll go get some snacks ready. Go ahead and um.... probably better to use the sitting room for watching TV. Smaller. More comfortable than the vestibule." she says as she motions to the smaller room off to the side.

:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama nodded and headed inside, grinning from ear to ear. "Yup! You'll love it. It was romance, and awesome vampires. And it was a kind of, pre-magical girl show. Before all the like.... magical girl tropes became a thing. trust me, you'll love it!" she said before running in and jumping into the couch. With a thunk. "O-ow. I'm okay!" she called out.<br /><br />She nestled up in the couch and... "I actually wanted to talk to you about something. I've been thinking about it for a while and... I decided.... It's time I talked to you. Asked you. When you're good and ready, let me know!"

:'''{{#var:160|Norie Okana| (160)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Norie returns with some boxes of donuts on a tray, and a pitcher of lemonade. She places it on the coffee table in front of the couch as she motions to the TV. "Go ahead and put it in the player." she says. "When you're ready." she says.<br /><br />She head tilted and blinks. "Sure, you can ask me something, Unmei-chan. I can never promise anything until I hear it though." she says as she bites her lip a little. She gently looks down then back up.

:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama nodded, taking a... half a donut. She wasn't that hungry, honestly. "Well.... I ummmm.... I was...." She trailed off. This was harder than she thought. Finally...<br /><br />"I'm not doing anyone any good. Like... The other magical girls... They don't really see me as someone who can help." Her mind flicked to Rashmi for a second but... she was doubtful she'd actually get much use out of that. Rashmi didn't seem to... she wasn't sure how much of it was just busy work. <br /><br />"I want to help people. To REALLY help people. I want to do something usefulk for once. So..." She trailed off.<br /><br />".... How can I help you? I want to... Is there anything I can help you with? You've helped me so... I wanna.... help you...."

:'''{{#var:160|Norie Okana| (160)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Norie Okana needs energy to live. But donuts might come in a close second. She's eaten one already while she's picking up another one. She gently purses her lips as Unmei talks and she has to stop when she asks that.<br /><br />"Um.. what are you asking, exactly, Unmei?" she asks curiously. "I mean. I don't need help around the manor..." she says quietly. She shifts a bit.<br /><br />"...I'm not having any emotional crisis I need help with." she says gently. She begins to eat another donut.

:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama sighed and then.... Lowered her eyes. She hugged her knees to her chest and... "I meant.... well..."<br /><br />".... Things I could help you with, as Clotho. When you're more.... vampirey. I know you do things and... for Eclipse and.... well... I mean.... I thought you could maybe use some help with that.... stuff...." She then gulped. "Nothing like. I mean. Nothing... too destructive. But I mean, nothing you guys do is like. Permanent. And as long as no one got kidnapped or anything, I.... I wouldn't.... mind helping you."<br /><br />She lowered her eyes. "I know when I worked there it was... you guys were sometimes short handed and stuff..."

:'''{{#var:160|Norie Okana| (160)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Norie Okana gently listens as she purses her lips a moment. She sighs a bit and thinks on this, crossing her arms and seems in deep thought. "Nrg..." she mutters a bit. "Are... you sure. Unmei?" she asks quietly. "I know you left Eclipse and... I don't want you to feel like you're being pulled back in." she says quietly.<br /><br />"I mean... right. I recently was promoted to Vice-Director of UMBRA. That's directly under Riven-sama." she says quietly. "And I HAVE been trying to recruit some more help..." she says.<br /><br />"I mean. I don't like kidnapping myself but... I'll worry about that if Riven-sama ever orders something like that. You don't need to." she says quietly.<br /><br />"I mean. It's not like. People haven't left... and come back. Fate-chan did that." she nods. "Not sure how Riven-sama would feel about you coming back." she says.<br /><br />"Unless you're just... looking to get rehired by Eclipse or something." she shrugs. "But I can't promise anything like that personally."

:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama shook her head rapdily. "No no no no. No. I'm not trying to get rehired by Eclipse or antrhing. I just... You really helped me. I'd want to repay it. Nothing... too bad. I mean. And of course we couldn't tell Kunzite. And it's NOT me working for Ecipse. It's a friend helping another friend, that's all. But yeah. I worked for Eclipse once. And I was treated like dirt," she said flatly. "Things may not be the best in my current situation, but they are leagues better than I was treated in Eclipse," she said flatly. "I at least don't get screamed at. But... You're different. You're my friend. More importantly, you helped me. And you're a good person, I know that. So I know you wouldn't ask me to do anything that'd like.... really hurt people. And I know it'd be for a good reason. Right?" she said with a smile.<br /><br />"Because I.... don't think you're the kind of person who would do things for bad reasons. Even if I didn't realize that before... sorry..."

:'''{{#var:160|Norie Okana| (160)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Lacrima rubs a hand up her face. "I work for UMBRA." she says. "That is a subset of Eclipse." she says quietly. "And UMBRA's... main line. Studying and acquiring artifacts to keep them out of the hands of those that would misuse them or be a danger or could benefit Tokyo is.. a..."<br /><br />"Look. My necklace. If UMBRA existed back then. There could had been a chance that it could had been found before I... or anyone else... touched it." she says quietly. "And I wouldn't be this /thing/ I'd just be myself and not a vampire." she mutters.<br /><br />"I mean. Usually this means. Punching people. Others. For these things." she says. "I mean fights are gonna happen. People are gonna disagree." she says lightly.<br /><br />"But you know that. Doesn't mean... like putting people in the hospital Just. Fighting." she mutters.

:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama nodded. "Exactly. Though... I think technically my jewel was found and.... tampered with by your department before hand. I don't think I ever worked directly with any of you guys, though," she mumbled. "Maybe I wouldn't have been as scared of you if I had," she said with a sigh. <br /><br />"I don't think you're a thing, though. I mean... you're... obviously very nice. And... I know you got help to get to this point. But... you had to have some things good in you to get to this point. Even to ask for help. It's... not easy. Always," she mumbled. "And... that doesn't sound bad. Beides... If there's one thing I've learned it's that... well... I mean... I think they're..." She trailed off and tried to put it to words.<br /><br />"I'm sure there's things I can do to help you... if you'll let me... if it doesn't bother you..."

:'''{{#var:160|Norie Okana| (160)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Norie fidgets. "I may not be a thing but I'm definitely not human." she says quietly. She gently sighs and fidgets. "I try to be nice. It's hard. The dark energy makes you wanna do the opposite a lot." she says.<br /><br />"But I like. Friends. Talking. Having friends helps you deal with that some. The idea is not to let it seclude you." she says silently.<br /><br />She nods. "I'll... call then if I think you can help with anything I'm planning then." she says quietly. "Okay?" she says softly. "I can't promise I can call you everytime but I will if I'm able." she says softly.

:'''{{#var:190|Unmei Tama| (190)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>Unmei Tama nods. "Of course. And... it's fine., Take as long as needed. I just.... I want to help you," she said with a smile. "I want to be your friend. To... work with you. As allies," she said before holding out her hand. <br /><br /> "I mean... you're a really great person. So.... I've learned now to be afraid of you any more. So... maybe I can help you do good things now." She then motioned to the tv. "But first! Cheesy vampire anime," she said with a chuckle.
