This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Melaka anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

Azusa (Day 1)

[makeitquick]

[From here]

Not more 'portant than keeping you alive.

[mythmaker]

Melaka...thank you. My, I wish I could be of more use out here, though.

[makeitquick]

Just follow.

[A sigh, and she shrugs Okay, weapons in hand...

She misses she should probably be more supportive]

[mythmaker]

Right, right. Anything you say.

[Azusa takes a deep breath and steels her nerves. Idols don't really belong on the battlefield, and she knows she's screwed up bad, but.

She understands! She thinks. Melaka is just...thinking of more important things right now. So following is a go!]

[makeitquick]

[Like her safety. she's on alert - listening, watching with her superior dark vision, ready to beat these guys. There's no one she can feel around them right now, but she... knows more will be in their way on the way back to the camp. Which is why she's willing to walk in silence for the next while. Of course, Azusa might not agree]

[mythmaker]

[No.

Azusa can walk in silence. She's a grown woman, she knows when it's time for idle chatter, when it's time to apologize, and when it's time to shut up. This is definitely one of the times for the latter, so she'll walk in silence behind Melaka. Of course, there's a muttered "I'm sorry," should she bump into something, but even she grasps the need for silence. Until, at least, she has a question.]

Do you know how much farther it is? I'm not sure how far away I wandered.

[makeitquick]

Thirty minutes. [So yeah, she was pretty far out. And she's counting for being slow and cautious here. But she looks back and smiles. To try to make it better...?]

[mythmaker]

[Azusa smiles back. It does help, and she thinks Azusa is pretty when she smiles...naturally.]

This isn't the farthest I've wandered, at least.

[Trying to lighten the mood, maybe?]

[makeitquick]

Oh yeah, really?

[ :|a ]

1/2

[mythmaker]

Yes, one time I boarded the wrong train...I ended up in the completely wrong side of the country. And another...

[mythmaker]

Ah...I'll save it for a better time. Sorry, sometimes I forget where I am.

[makeitquick]

[She wants to tell Azusa to just continue, that it'll keep up her higher spirits and that's more important but... it is echoing here. Everything's echoing. She feels bad to nod but-]

I wanna hear it later.

[Quietly.]

[mythmaker]

[She places a gentle hand on Melaka's shoulder and nods, echoing her sentiments quietly as well.]

Of course. Anytime.

[makeitquick]

[ ... Well then, that's nice. She briefly pauses, feeling the hand. but... well. Okay, there's an enemy around the corner. She tenses up as she glares in that direction, and then shifts out of Melaka's embrace. Pulling her ax off her back ...]

[mythmaker]

[Azusa crouches, trying to make herself less visible. She's not going to follow Melaka, naturally, she'd rather keep out of sight. She also lowers her head, not sure she wants to watch what she's about to see.]

[makeitquick]

[And... two. Two women, one with a spear and one with a sword. Simple. The one with a spear tries to attack first with reach, but Melaka pulls her blaster out and shoots her in the face. That gives her pause enough - and the sword one comes to strike Mel. Mel dodges, dropping the blaster and using the axe to swing up and hit her in the shoulder, all but severing that arm from the force of the blow. The woman screams in pain, but Mel ignores that, instead going to snap the spear woman's weapon off over her knee - there. And now the broke off spear tip is grabbed and stabbed into the shoulder of the spear woman. She screams too]

[mythmaker]

[Yeah, Azusa couldn't watch that. Even more embarrassing (or expected?) for her, she covered her ears. She's not going to move until Melaka comes back for her, and she's only watching behind them to see if someone comes up from behind. She's the most useless here.]

[makeitquick]

[There's a bit more scuffle. In the end, one of the TP women is ... bleeding and passed out, and one is struggling to remain awake. Melaka looks at her side before standing and then going back to Azusa. There's some blood on her now but she taps the other woman on the shoulder]

[mythmaker]

[Azusa jumps when Melaka taps her on the shoulder, even though it should have been pretty clear who it was. Those sounds, those sights...she really isn't made for this kind of thing, and her knees feel weak.]

M-my, you startled me. The coast is clear, I think.

[makeitquick]

...You got a scanner?

[Because these two women aren't dead, and she might as well do that thing]

[mythmaker]

Yes, I do! It's right here. Do you need any bandages or water?

[Sob, Azusa, pretending to be a nurse with her little first aid kit.]

[makeitquick]

[Well she's got some blood on her but she's not wounded....]

Nah. But I need to scan those two.

[mythmaker]

R-right. Here you go, Melaka.

[Handing it over now. She's...actually not sure what happens when the scanner is on.]

[makeitquick]

[Okay, taking the scanner now she walks over the bloodied and broken women TPs there. Melaka shoves the necks up to go and put the scan barcode on their back]

[mythmaker]

[And here is Azusa carefully moving after her. Oh, god, this is still way too much for her. At least they're not decapitated, though.]

What's going to happen to them?
