[05 ~ Accidental Video | Canon Update]

[blahblahblah]

[The video feed opens in what looks to be a common room, possibly of some kind of inn, with everyone (save Estelle) gathered around.]

( OOC: 7:02 to the cut to white at about 10:37, except the very end changes a bit as below starting at 10:04. )

[Rita keeps tapping at the blastia's control interface, but it's not looking good.] At this rate, it'll either swallow the city or even explode.

[A flash of memory; she hesitates for a moment.] Explode...? [She's oblivious to the panicking civilians behind her, and her hands are on autopilot.] Wait, this is...! I remember this!

[She makes this realization just in time to hear her name called behind her, and a pinkette she really doesn't want to see right now running toward her, and starting to shine with light as she does.] Estellise...! No, you have to get out of here! [Rita can feel herself being torn between finishing her work and making sure Estellise survives; either way, she only has a few seconds.]

[Pushing herself, she gets the adjustments made and unceremoniously tackles Estellise to get her out of the way, just in time; the barrier blastia explodes just as she starts to move. It's hard to tell much else through the bright white, though. The feed cuts out without showing anything else.]

( OOC: As usual, replies will come about an hour later, from both Rita and Yuri (second_star). By default Rita is conscious again for replies to either, but she can still be out cold if desired. )

Are you all okay?

[Video]

[blahblahblah]

Somehow. Just... tired. Getting caught in a blastia explosion isn't high on my list of things I enjoy.

[Rita appears, sitting up but apparently resting in bed.]

Re: [Video]

[omg_thrall]

I've been in one of those before. They are never easy to shake off.

[blahblahblah]

No, they're not. I blow things up for a living and this is still a pain. Part of me wants go check on him and examine the damage, but I can't even get out of bed right now. [She's not happy about it, either.]

[Video]

[second_star]

Somehow, yeah. I'd really like for this place to catch us doing something, I don't know, normal, for once.

Re: [Video]

[omg_thrall]

It seems like the community refuses to do so at times.

[second_star]

Yeah. Anyway, we made it out. Surprisingly no one died. [ Sigh. ] Well, I'm happy for that, at least.

[aquaticrush]

E-explosion?

[blahblahblah]

Yeah. I admit, this was not one of my brightest ideas. I'm just glad nobody was hurt, honestly, as big as the explosion was.

[aquaticrush]

So you're all okay?

[blahblahblah]

Somehow... but it was a close thing. Estellise wasn't hurt as badly as I was, but she burned herself out healing me, so she's resting now. [She glances to something off-camera, smiling slightly.]

[second_star]

That would be putting it lightly. Somehow we got out alright.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to downplay what happened to you!

[second_star]

You didn't, you didn't. I just...[ Sigh. ] I swear, this place is just going to show me dying one day, isn't it?

[denies]

... There really never is a dull moment in you guys' world, huh.

[ There's a slight sigh - at least the community hardly displays this kind of stuff without everyone coming out alright, right? ... Right..? ]

[Voice]

[blahblahblah]

Of course not. That would be reasonable. This world can't be reasonable to us, it's like some kind of contract it made with Yuri in the past. Everything hates him.

[The girl speaking sounds... faintly pained still, but less so than she should be for the explosion she took at point-blank range.

[denies]

[ Well, at least it sounds like everyone's relatively okay despite the situation. Good thing her guess was right about the community just now. Not that the relief reaches her tone, she just sounds deadpan as usually. ]

It does seem like that. But at least it means you'll never get bored.

[blahblahblah]

I guess not. Still, though, maybe it could go easy on us sometimes. It's like we never get a break. Even sleeping is dangerous half the time, since someone has a bounty on his head. [Yes, Yuri, she's still cross about the incident in Torim Harbor.]

voice;

[second_star]

For the record, everything hates me.

[ Guess who's a-ok. ]

[denies]

That's how karma works after you get in jail enough times, you know.

[ It's exactly because everything seems more or less okay that she can speak up just as deadpanly as usual. Honestly, whenever she brings up his 'criminal' record it's bound to be a joke. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

Did they switch bodies?

[blahblahblah]

No. What gave you that idea?

[mightletyouknowme]

Are you sure? You're not a princess now? When people fall down like that, it's usually what happens.

[second_star]

Hilarious as that would be...no. They're both fine though.

[mightletyouknowme]

That's weird. They always switch bodies when that happens.
