luministi | Day 14 | ~ Dearly Beloved ~

[When the video feed turns on, it shows Xion standing in a room that is nondescript and white. There are no decorations, nothing displaying personality, and there isn't a single person who would think that it's a girl's bedroom. It'd be easy to assume that she's somewhere in the space station, not in her town home, if Luministi itself wasn't directly visible.

The CAT must be sitting on a table, because Xion can be seen in front of a window with her back to the camera. After a moment, she speaks, still not showing her face.]

It's weird... Isn't it? Pieces of our worlds are starting to show up in town... And here I thought once we destroyed those two objects, we'd be going home. [But... Where would she go? She tries not to think about it.

Xion shakes her head, then turns to look at her CAT.] Lately, I've been wondering... What's waiting for everyone back home? What are you wanting to go back to? More importantly... Who are you wanting to go back to? [Because everyone's got somebody, Xion thinks. How can they not?] I realized, not too long ago, that even though I have so many friends here that are so important to me... I don't know much about them. Not really. So... I want to know.

[Well. In the meantime...] I want to search for Lab #3. The sooner we find it, the better. I think that, since there are doors from the space station to our houses, maybe somewhere in town there's a door that secretly leads to that place. Maybe in the mansion, since we haven't really had a chance to explore it yet. Does anyone wanna look with me?

[he's...actually wrong-footed by such an innocent and young answer like that] Um...there usually isn't time for something like that, especially in the middle of a mission. [short pause] And there aren't any clock towers nearby.

[he nods] You can just call me "Washington".

Well, not in the middle of a mission, no. But you can after they're done, like the icing on the cake. And you can on vacation, too! [she giggles a little] Rooftops work, too.

[she nods] Okay, Washington.

After I'm done, huh? [his face cracks into a slight smile behind that helmet of his. shame he doesn't think he's going to survive this mission. ice cream might have been nice.] We'll see.

Do people of your world usually sit up in precarious places to eat?

Yeah, after you're done. There's nothing better than eating ice cream with your friends after a day of hard work.

[At that, she laughs.] Just me and my friends. I think.

You seem pretty young to be working. What exactly do your friends and you do?

We, um -- [uh-oh. She doesn't want to explain it to him. It's... complicated.] We're treasure hunters! [Sort of.] We worked for a group of people who hunted special treasure that could only be found by defeating monsters.

[deadpan] So you fight things like dragons and trolls, huh?

Things... like that, yeah...

[he isn't so sure he buys that, but he'll go along with it for now]

You must be pretty well off by now, especially if you're fighting treasure hoarding dragons and the like.

W-Well... In terms of munny, that's true...

Something tells me there's a 'but' somewhere in that sentence's future... [tilts his head, shifting his weight onto his other foot as he looks at her]

[She laughs sheepishly and scratches the back of her head.] I've never really fought a dragon.

[interesting reaction] No, huh? Does the same go for the trolls as well?

Trolls?

[a beat] I'll just take that as a 'no'.
