Main Room

Margaret walks into the main room, taking a glance at what's currently playing on the TV.

Upstairs Hallway (Survivor Aichi)

-...? The music...-

-...It's either Rottytops or that other girl...-

-...OK, stay calm. You're fine... You're friends with them...-

-...-

-...However, he finds himself thinking about something else...-

-Zamasu... said he killed her in the future...-

-And that she tried to protect him...-

-He feels an extreme amount of guilt for it all... but he can't really say anything about it. He mentioned Zamasu to her before, but he doesn't really want to say that he kills her in the future if they don't stop him.-

-So he turns to face the music, attempting to seem normal.-

-...Although if it is Rottytops or the Lost Soul it might stand out that he's not in his usual get up with the crowbar.-

Roof (Aichi) and (Misaki)

-...? Oh, they're working on the Extreme Gundam...-

"...Hello, Leos, Sthesia. Is something wrong?"

-Aichi meanwhile, already had a vague feeling that they were probably working on the Gundam right about now.-

-He can't just avoid looking at them... or the Extreme Gundam...-

"...H-Hello..."

-...Guys, you can probably tell it's a bit difficult for him to look in your direction right now, but he's forcing himself to.-

-And then Cross comes up.-

"...Oh, hello, Cross."

-Cross is here too now...-

"O-Oh, um... Hello..."

-...He's... not sure what... but something's off about Cross. He hadn't noticed it before, but there's something different...-

-...He can't put his finger on it at the second...-

Main Room (108)

-Well, the show on TV seems to be some form of anime. Some kind of shounen series with a hotblooded protagonist. Definitely one intended for a fairly young audience in Japan, but ends up being surprisingly entertaining to older audiences.-

-...Seems like a modern setting and like it was made to sell some kind of merchandise. Probably a game or toys or cards or something.-

-It's then that he notices Margaret and looks over at her with his blank expression.-

"Hello."

-...That's all he has to say, sadly. Still not much for conversation, but at the very least he's trying to take the initiative.-

Main Room

"Hmm. Greetings." she responds at barely above a whisper, her face blank and unexpressive. Her eyes remained fixed on the anime currently playing on the TV, "May I ask what that is."

Main Room (108)

-He just stares at her blankly.-

"I am not certain. I turned on the TV five minutes ago. It seems to be a cartoon about children and a hobby."

-...OK...?-

-...Oh, seems like the standard jerk rival just showed up onscreen. Taunting the main character, speaking of how he'll never beat him. All around being rude to everyone and everything around him.-

"That boy is an a—"

-He stops.-

-No, Sthesia told him not to use that word.-

"...That boy is a jerk."

"Hmm. A jerk indeed." she agrees, "I believe I have seen a show like this before, and there was a jerk rival in that one as well."

Upstairs Hallway

-Aichi, Rottytops just walked right past you-

Roof

-Aichi...he has a huge gash across his eye that’s healed into a very obvious scar-

-And you probably don’t remember him having that before you...”left”-

Main Room (108)

-She's seen another one?-

"What was it like?"

-Ah, there's a bit of emotion for you! Curiosity!-

-The small boy seems intrigued and would like to hear more.-

Upstairs Hallway (Survivor Aichi)

-...?-

-She... just walked right past him.-

"R-Rottytops...?"

-Seems like it hasn't dawned on him that maybe his form threw her off.-

"I-Is something wrong?"

-He tries to follow after her.-

Going to wait for Convoy before I post with Aichi and Misaki again.

Achoo!

Hey, guys! ...Hey, you okay, Sthesia?

I'm fine.

(Leos doubts that, considering Sthesia doesn't normally sneeze out of left-field, but okay...)

"I do not really remember. I am sorry. I happened across it over a decade ago and it was not memorable." She turns her head to look directly at 108, "Is this the first one you've seen of this genre."

Roof (Aichi) and (Misaki)

-Aichi finds himself staring a bit more at Cross.-

-And he stares.-

-And he stares.-

-...-

-...A... A scar...-

"C-Cross... Y-You..."

-...-

-...Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.-

"T-That was..."

-Misaki can tell that Aichi's getting worked up, and... well... she can tell why.-

"...Aichi..."

-She looks up at Cross, silently hoping that he'll tread carefully. Aichi might be doing a bit better, but it's clear that he's still extremely fragile.-

-She then looks back at Aichi and... is unsure of how to proceed in comforting him. This is a very serious situation and it's one she's not sure she should butt in on (In the end it's between him and Cross...).-

"...You didn't do anything."

-That's all she can think of to say, sadly...-

-She looks back over to Leos and Sthesia, silently pleading them to help her out with this because it's clear that Aichi's about to go into another bout of self-hatred and/or guilt again if they're not careful.-

Main Room (108)

-Oh, so she has not seen it in a long time...-

-Perhaps a tiny bit of disappoint can be seen on his face.-

"Yes. I have seen other cartoons like Interstellar Warrior Combat Saviour, but I have not seen one like this."

Upstairs Hallway (Survivor Aichi)

-O-Oh! It's the armor...-

-He gets a mildly sheepish expression.-

"Um... N-Not really... It's a long story..."

-...Rottytops, does he seem a little different to you? Something about his mood...-

-He seems... relieved to see you?-

#1339963: Sep 29th 2018 at 10:49:18 AM

"I am afraid I'm not familiar with that one. What is it like."

She finally seem to realize that she's been standing stock still this whole time and goes to sit in one of the chairs.

Main Room (108)

-Don't feel bad, Margaret. This kid has basically no body language. The entire time he's just been staring at you while staying seated, blankly looking at you with only the vaguest hint of any kind of feeling on his face.-

-Perhaps birds of a feather in a way.-

"It is about a boy named Azer that becomes the pilot of the powerful Armoured Shell, Combat Saviour—"

-And then he proceeds to go on and on and on about the events of the show, the backstory, the technical talk, the fact that the characters are fighting in a war, the massive amount of fights between the piloted robots and their pilots, and...-

-...Actually, he seems like he's seriously trying to tell you EVERYTHING that happened in the series.-

-You might wanna stop him... You could be here all day if you don't.-

Margaret... actually doesn't stop him. She just listens, or at least presumably she's listening, while occasionally moving her gaze between 108 and what is going on on the screen.

Hmmm... Hey, Misaki. Don't you have something to show Aichi?

(He's thinking that maybe her new armour might cheer him up.)

Yeah, I'm betting he'll like it, Misaki!

(Leos climbs down to stand near Cross while Misaki probably considers her answer.)

Upstairs Hallway (Survivor Aichi)

-H-Huh?-

"N-Nothing's wrong... I'm just glad to see you is all..."

-...That's not all there is to it. It's clear.-

-He's hiding something.-

Main Room (108)

"I like watching it."

-Well, he finally finished that up at least.-

"I enjoy watching the TV. It teaches me new information."

Roof (Aichi) and (Misaki)

-Misaki is not impressed with Cross's response.-

-Just... really, Cross?-

-However, before she can say anything in response to that, Leos and Sthesia make their suggestion.-

-Uh... about that...-

-Aichi's fully aware she's wearing the armor right now. He can see the gun/drones on her back right now, heck, he can probably see some of the armor through the slit on her skirt (Not that he's actually looking there, of course).-

"Guys, I don't—."

-Aichi, finally speaks up to Cross.-

"I-It's my fault... isn't it...?"

-Another thing he did... He's been told time and time again that none of what he did was his fault, but he can't truly believe that.-

-He was the one that hurt Cross. He was the one that nearly killed him. He was the one that gave him that scar.-

"..."

-Misaki looks back at Aichi, still at a bit of a loss. She's comforted him about things in the past, but something like this is completely out of her comfort zone. This whole thing is such a screwed up and surreal situation that Misaki's at a complete loss.-

"...Aichi, it wasn't your fault. What you did then wasn't you."

-Aichi wouldn't have chosen to do such a thing. He was twisted into something else, nothing but a happy servant to them...-

-None of that is Aichi's fault. If he could have snapped out of it on his own, he would have.-

-He needed help, and there's no shame in that. They had a very powerful hold over him, and Misaki (along with the others) don't blame him for being like that at all.-

"You wouldn't have done that if you were yourself and we all know that."

-...-

"...You know that too."

-She's speaking rather gently with that part. Trying to point out that he knows he'd never actually want to do such a thing. That it truly matters, and it's not as if he would have done it on his own.-

-Aichi hears Misaki and lifts his head a little, looking at her.-

-This isn't the first time he's been told it wasn't his fault, but he can't help but feel as though it is...-

-...But... at the same time, Misaki's trying her best to comfort him, and it means a lot to him.-

-She's not the most open, and yet she comforts him a lot. He's actually extremely thankful for this.-

-Misaki's... a better friend than he ever could have imagined having...-

"...M-Misaki..."

-He's still not quite out of his feelings of guilt, but Misaki did manage to pave the way to make it a bit easier to talk to him (Easing him out of it a little).-

-Nephew sits crosslegged on the floor of the basement, folding his arms and staring intently-

-In front of him: A pile of various bits and bobs from the corpse of the Cerberus that Cerva killed.....-

-He looks thoughtful, experimental, as he picks up a bone and stares at it-

....Now...how do the blacksmith nerds do this?

-He ponders-

............

-He picks up a rock-

-and thunks it against the bone-

.....

...Yeah, I got this.

-Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd Rottytops can very easily tell that she definitely shook him with that threat.-

-S-She wouldn't, would she...?-

"...Y-Y-You wouldn't..."

-...Wow, it actually really hurt that she'd threaten it...-

-...-

"...I... I fought Zamasu... That guy I told you about before..."

-...Oh yeah, it seems serious.-

Main Room (108)

-So there's a lot of misinformation mixed in with these shows? He's aware of fiction, but perhaps he hasn't really separated the two quite enough yet...-

"What kind of misinformation?"

-He doesn't want to receive false information...-

Waiting for Convoy before posting as Aichi and Misaki.
