So! After everything that happened, and. Uh. With the hands sticking thing...

[She looks distinctly uncomfortable, her legs folded under her as she sits on her bed with a little frown.]

Anyway, I thought that maybe I could find a partner for that mission, yeah? I'm a Weapon and I mean. Uh.

[Stops and finally blows out a frustrated breath of air.]

I didn't really like it, but I turned into one of my binding rods, yeah? So maybe someone out there knows how to fight using a rod, so I guess that's what I'm letting everyone know! Even if I really, really didn't like it...

But you have to promise not to throw me at something! Because partnerships are all about trust, yeah? And that's important to me, especially after everything that happened with those sand things.

Binding rod?

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

It's what I used as a weapon back home! It has a short staff, then four prongs at the top, yeah? The wires are thrown out and they catch onto the enemy and bring it close so you can kill it!

Interesting...

Hoping to find a Meister in the future?

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

I think so, yeah! If I'm going to be here and everything, I want to be able to help.

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

I see.

...You're one of Lightning's friends. I'm not sure if you remember me, but we've talked before, I think.

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

You know Light? [Wait a moment. She peers into the camera, frowning hard until her face brightens.]

I remember you! You're uh...Mister Mustang, yeah? We did talk before, when I was here the first time!

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

That's right.

How have you been holding up? Kept in contact with Hope?

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Holding up? Oh, uh, I've been fine, yeah? Never better! [Smiles.]

Yeah, me and Hope are good! He told me that Light and Fang left and went home, so that's a good thing, yeah? I'm happy to be here so he isn't alone anymore!

That's good to hear. And it is nice, having a familiar company around here. [Speaking from experience? Yeeep.]

You mentioned helping. That would mean that you're willing to fight, right?

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. [This was nice, being reassured. She kind of needed that after all this.]

Yeah! I...I wasn't, the first time I was here. But this time is different!

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

What changed?

...If you don't mind me asking, that is.

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

I don't mind! Um. Before, well, we had just come here from all this fighting, yeah? And I didn't want to be used for anymore wars, or any fighting, or anything that was going to hurt more people. [Her voice gets a little softer.] I had enough of that, yeah?

But if I'm here for a second time, and there are people I know, and they're still here! So... if I have this power, and I can help people. I don't want to be selfish anymore!

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

I see.

[Small smile.] I think I can relate to that, a little. Although, I haven't been taken home once since I got here.

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

You can? [Looks at curiously and then nods.]

It would have been nicer if I got sent home for a longer time before coming back! I was there for like...a second! And then I was back here.

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Oh? How long were you back?

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

I was back for. Um. I dunno, around a minute, yeah? And then suddenly I'm back here, and I remember being here, but everyone said it's been months!

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Mm, that time lapse usually happens.

Did your friends back at home realize you were missing?

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

They didn't! It was like nothing had happened, yeah? But then, I didn't know I was missing either...I didn't remember this place when I was back home.

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah... the others who returned briefly and came back didn't remember Death City until they reappeared too.

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Are there a lot of people who went home and then got dragged back?

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

A number. I wouldn't say a lot, though.

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

...That's really sad.

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

We're yet to determine why it happens. Perhaps it isn't important.

Video;

[lyingragnarok.livejournal.com]

Maybe. I think it's important, though!

Video;

[thewarisover.livejournal.com]

Do you?

...I guess I'll keep trying to look for an answer, then.
