[Video] Afternoon Llama 18

[bakegarasu]

[Otoha looks uncomfortable, but he needs to put his face to the message to get it across.[

It's Otoha. This is a message for Red team, but I don't really care if other teams listen in. It's not a secret.

Lightning still hasn't shown back up after the mission, but her stuff's still here. ... If anyone on Red team needs anything... I mean, we're all pretty independent, but I can be the... point person if someone needs something.

Not hard to find me, I'm usually in the training gym or greenhouse. Room's upper 1:A.

I'll help figure stuff out until she gets back.

[ Gods, he knew he needed to make a communication like this, but after the mayhem of Della's post, Thanatos thought he'd wait and hope that people would forget about it. Maybe he can just... tag along with Otoha and avoid that mess all together. ]

I can be another point person. My name is Thanatos, and my cabin is Lower 2:A. I can't say I'll be good for any kind of leadership role. My skills and experience don't really... transfer. But I have been focusing on supporting others with manadrive healing during the missions, and I have some items from home which may help.

[ Mort squeaks on his shoulder. ]

Ah, and I am now in the possession of transgate set. I'll take this with me on missions. However, I'd like to set it up on the train in the meantime, so people can teleport from one end to the other quicker. Are there any suggestions where they should gates go?

[Hey, who's this guy with the flaming hair and the eyes that kinda look like they belong on a book?]

Don't be an idiot. I'm in charge of Red when she's gone because I'm the oldest and most reliable member.

[bakegarasu]

[He just squints at the guy... the voice is similar enough though. He's heard that voice before - it's not like Zetta's quiet.]

Don't see you checking on other members. And aren't you usually a book?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That's because the other members don't want to be babied or smothered. Why do you think the aloof, emotionally-distant girl was in charge up till now?

And, for the record -- I was a book for a miniscule fraction of my life, and those days are over!

[bakegarasu]

Not smothering them. Not my style. Someone's gotta be the point person, though.

... I wonder if you're just as easily throwable?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Heh. You sure you wanna try that on a guy who has arms now?

[bakegarasu]

Why not?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

The... the fact that I'll grab you and throw you instead. That's why.

[bakegarasu]

You can sure as hell try.

[almukhtar]

( This was strangely comforting and easy to return to. A sense of duty, though his worry remains there is no point in allowing it to keep him from being of use. )

The initiative is appreciated. I had been meaning to reach out to my team. Simply put, I'm new. I've found some information, but I'd like to know more if you're willing. Should I meet you?

[bakegarasu]

Sure. I'm in the greenhouse now. It's not hard to spot me. The trenchcoat doesn't exactly blend in.

[He chuckles a little bit.]

[almukhtar]

A popular spot. What of the training gym? The change in scenery may interest me. Its not immediate, so at your leisure.

[bakegarasu]

No, that's fine. I'll head over there. Try to avoid it on platform day since there's usually at least one person who needs to beat a training dummy to take out their frustration.

[almukhtar]

A reasonable decision.

( Still, he's curious enough to wander in. Besides, from what Atem has pieced together it seemed that team red were more or less combatants. Which is just irony at its finest. He lead an impressive army, sure. Though the warmongering days never came. As much as his uncle pleaded. He's taken so much time to ease away from active violence but here it was beckoning him. )

I suppose they figure we can keep our wits sharp on the field. ( This is to say its not impressive, but it could be worse. His back is turned, but something tells him the presence that just walked in was the one he was meeting. )

[bakegarasu]

[Otoha isn't surprised at this point when people detect him. His role had rarely been stealth, anyway. He's got his hands tucked into his pockets as he walks over, katana hung at his hip.]

That, and some of us are used to training often. There's also the fact that some of us get too antsy without something to fight, and this is the closest we can get without risking blowing stuff up.

[almukhtar]

( There's something of a distressed release of breath. Atem hates how accurate it describes him, though he tries so hard to embody the peacemaker. His attention turns to the man, then. ) A good reason for our team being smaller in numbers.

[bakegarasu]

Probably.

[He chuckles a little bit.]

I don't mind it, though. It's fewer people we need to figure out how to patch up afterwards. And fewer people to give our healers headaches...

Action because lbr they're not ever that far apart

[kabano]

Will that be alright?

[bakegarasu]

[He looks down at her and shrugs.]

Someone has to take responsibility until she gets back. It's not something I'm good at, but I don't see anyone else stepping up to do it, do you?

[kabano]

[She shrugs. She doesn't really know how this whole thing works.]

Do what you want. But don't let it interfere with your duty.

[bakegarasu]

Of course. That always comes first.

... I saw myself in that last area. Corrupted like Eko. I know it's just an illusion, but I...

[Ngh.]

... I won't fail you.

[He can't.]

[kabano]

I made a mistake once. It will not happen again.

[bakegarasu]

... I know. I trust you. And I'm glad you trust me.

[He huffs and just sits down in the grass and dirt in the greenhouse.]

... I told Rich I wasn't comfortable being human and I think I said it badly and hurt his feelings.

I know... you probably don't have any advice. ... I just worry about him. Not - not to the point that it'll distract from what needs to be done, but... people are complicated.

[kabano]

That wasn't what he needed to hear.

[bakegarasu]

No, it wasn't. ... I'm not... I'm trying. But I'm... I don't know. I'm trying to keep it so I can... enjoy the time with them while I can.

[He's going to outlive so many people here...]
