( It happened one night! )






[Unfortunately the community will miss all the lovely explosions and events that follow which will make this next scene slightly perplexing.

It looks as though Selina made it home in one piece, but somewhere along the way she managed to tear the mask of her catsuit up just a little bit...and the material on her left arm seems to have been burnt or melted away which is nothing compared to the disfigurement of her upper arm.]

Tch...that Batman really is a bastard [when she goes to brush herself off fine granules of rock and dust fly everywhere] because of him I have eight lives left...he could be a real nuisance if I'm not...oh?

[She just remembered that the community seems interested in every untoward aspect of her life so she'll take a seat in front of her ill gotten computer and with a how d'ye do hand wave she becomes more engaging...might as well.]

Since you're probably watching could you all be little lambs and tell me what you know about burn remedies?

[There's a brief moment of hesitation before Elektra begins. Her voice is tight. Anyone who remembers the events of last year on this day may have an idea why. If not, chalk it up to that lovely virus. Watching people die and generally be miserable is a little depressing.]

I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate dwelling on the bad. It's counterproductive and absolutely pointless most of the time. Some things you can't change no matter what you do so why worry about it?

[She exhales audibly. There's a clear effort to sound relaxed and cheerful now.] So now that's out of the way, my birthday is coming up. Normally this is the kind of thing I keep to myself, but with the way things have been I could use a day just for me. That is where the rest of you come in. I need some suggestions on how to spend it. Hit me with anything you've got.

[ There's some jumbly camera movements as it clicks on suddenly, a bit as if it's been tossed around a bit in surprise. ]

I'm on..? I'm on! Hello ducks-- woah, talk about drama... I thought I lost this place! Which I'm surprisingly pretty upset about. N..not that it's probably gone noticed-[she laughs nervous, more to herself than to the camera, then looks into to lens and gives a bright eyed smile as she brushes her hair out of face.] well, it doesn't matter now!

Every time I leave, more people show up-- I wonder who every one is.. I have a lot of learning to do, huh?
For those that don't know, I'm Rinoa! And if you need anyone to listen to you well.. I'm here!

[Narukami seems different today as he turns on his laptop--it's hard to tell, but it's there. Though his expression is steady and calm as ever, there is a note of uncertainty to it. It seems as though something must be tugging at the back of his mind.]

...Do you think...the friends you meet in your lifetime help to define who you are? Or is that something that you can only do on your own?

Maybe I shouldn't be worrying about this now. We've got more important things to think about at this point. I'll just end up distracting myself, and I don't think I can afford to do that.
