[fortheprincess]

Are you going to tell me what happened?

voice.

[psycholawgy]

Well...

Um, I got hit by a truck.

[ somehow, this is a lot easier than telling someone from her world. ]

voice.

[fortheprincess]

[ He looks visibly disturbed, but she can't see it through the phone. He knew about the Simon part, but he'd seen Nanoha get hit by a vehicle and it wasn't pretty.

But Nanoha's got a lot of powers, and Athena has a power as well but she's still human, and, well-- ]

...I see.

[covenantal]

With the way things ended up going, I'm a little surprised I didn't end up winning myself. Seriously, though, if anyone deserved it, it was you.

Are you free tomorrow? I'm a little tied up today, but I should be free then.

voice.

[psycholawgy]

[ athena plops down on her bed, and the sound of her hitting her pillows is probably audible. ]

... Yeah. That's- That's what happened.

voice.

[fortheprincess]

[ He can hear it, and he can hear the tone in her voice. He doesn't blame her for it--it's a pretty horrific thing to happen. ]

You weren't the only one. I...saw it happen to someone else.

[psycholawgy]

You'll have to tell me how you completed the list!
And yes, I am free tomorrow. :)

[psycholawgy]

[ she isn't down about what had happened anymore, but she's still disturbed by it. death is one thing she fears, and it happened to her. but it's also helping her get rid of that fear. she just wishes she didn't die out of sheer stupidity, but for a better reason, instead. ]

Are you serious? [ a grumble. ] I wonder how many people were attacked by those ghosts... they were absolutely terrible. I'm glad they're gone.

voice.

[fortheprincess]

Yeah. She made it out alive--thing is, she's not exactly "human."

[ Nanoha is a human in her own right, but a human with superpowers and that's probably why she'd survived. It still wasn't a pretty sight to see. ]

If it wasn't her, it would've been me. I was right behind her.

voice.

[psycholawgy]

Even Ms Nanoha?

[ she covers her mouth with her palm in shock... but there's relief in her tone. she's glad that nanoha didn't die. ]

I'm sorry.

[covenantal]

I didn't quite finish it. I got pretty close, though. I'll tell you all about it when I see you.

Great. I'll see you then.

[psycholawgy]

I'll be at the medical center during the morning, so if you'd like to meet up there, that'd make things easier for me.

[covenantal]

That sounds like a good idea. No problem, Athena.

[psycholawgy]

[ as planned, athena is waiting at the lobby of the medical center, fiddling with widget while waiting! ]

[covenantal]

Morning, Athena.

[ Here's Yu, walking up with a hand raised in greeting and a small smile on his face. He had an ... interesting day yesterday, between dealing with his burgeoning feelings for Minato and meeting up with Hiro, but he's keeping his spirits up. Well, just the idea that he's seeing Athena helps to lift his spirits, really. ]

Good to see you.

[psycholawgy]

Hiya!

[ she immediately switches off the holographic screen and stands up to wave at yu. ]

How's it going?

[Voice]

[niceguypose]

[Rock Lee contacts Athena early in the morning.]

Athena-saaaaan!!! Good morning! Are you well?!

[covenantal]

[ He stops in front of her and props his hand on his hip. ]

Things have been pretty interesting lately, haven't they? But I can't complain. [ He'll nod his head, indicating they should head out. ] How are you?

[psycholawgy]

[ good thing she's already wide awake! ]

Totally okay! [ sort of. ] I'm jogging right now. What's up?

[psycholawgy]

[ she grabs her bag and walks towards the direction of the exit. time for some ice cream! ]

I've been well enough. I'm glad the ghosts are gone, and I'm slowly getting over what had happened then.

[niceguypose]

I am so glad to hear that! This is an incredible coincidence. I am currently jogging as well! [Please don't run into each other while you jog and talk on your CereVices.]

I felt that it was the time to contact you once more, Athena-san!! You wanted to learn from me.

[psycholawgy]

[ no, this is happening. ]

Oh, yeah! You've got to teach me Japanese, okay?

[niceguypose]

[Of course it is.]

Yes, that is correct! Or, ah, my world's language! [it's weird calling it by another world's name, even if the language mysteriously seems to be exactly the same.] Please tell me when and where!

[psycholawgy]

I could always go to your place after I freshen up! Are you even free today?

[niceguypose]

That is correct! I am as free as youth itself, Athena-san!
