10.2

[splasher]

hey uh i know i left you some homework for next week...
but things have been a little crazy
you don't need to do it if you don't want to
we can take a small break off studying

Re: 10.2

[splasher]

how are you doing, by the way? have you got some rest?

[superseding]

No, please don't worry. I'll finish the homework on time. I wouldn't feel right if I didn't. Studying helps keep me focused in times like this.

I'm doing fine. [ As fine as everyone else on base. ] I asked Dirk for a pair of those headphones, so I'll be getting some rest.

[sniptuck]

[superseding]

Hajime-san, hello!

No, I'm not?

[ Do they need to go in pairs? ]

[sniptuck]

i wouldn't have wanted to steal you away from whoever you were going with

[vigilantims]

hey
where are you staying

[superseding]

[ Do you know who thinks sleeping in a locked room with other people is a bad idea and who's been dodging sleeping whenever Annabeth is around? This girl. ]

Hi, Yuri. Is there something you need? I can come to you.

[vigilantims]

[ hey yuri wouldn't judge. he was doing the same thing until makoto got him a room. he still sleeps around the base instead of his room half the time

but that makes things a little difficult um ]

not really
i wanted to leave you something
guess you could call it a surprise

text. + backdated to 10/08 . (i am so ready for this!)

[forsage]

Hey there. I saw your post about that chart of yours.

Was wondering if we could talk 'bout that since it actually is connected to something I've been thinking about for some time. Got a minute to hear me out, miss?

\o/

[superseding]

Hi, Roderic. I have more than a minute for you. I'm all ears. Or all eyes.

[forsage]

Thanks.

[ alright. um...

just please give him a few minutes as he writes and rewrites what's supposed to be a simple message. this man has a bad habit of overthinking things if someone lets him get the chance. ] Where I'm from, I would be known as a metahuman. People who have abilities that are considered abnormal or extraordinary, depending on who you ask. They can range to kinda harmless like making fireworks to deadly like shooting larges outta your eyes. Things like that.

Personally? I got something called Auditory Precognition. Allows me to hear the sounds from a person's life if they're close enough to me. Thought of a way that could help you out with your current predicament.

[expulsions]

Hotaru, right? Hey! I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor.

[A few seconds later.]

This is Percy btw. [Also ignoring that he can't remember if he even properly introduced himself? Percy you're fine.]

[superseding]

Yes, this is Hotaru. Hi. :)

What can I do for you, Percy? I'll help you if I can.

[expulsions]

I think you might be one of the only people who can. Uh. Don't know if you've noticed but the base is sort of freezing. So I was thinking about being warm, and what makes people warm, and then I started thinking about soup and fresh cookies and hot chocolate, and then I started thinking about how other people probably would like the same thing before I realized I'm not good at that kind of stuff.

So...I was hoping you could help me out.

[splinten]

Hey, Hotaru.
We've done a few test runs and hammered it all out. It'll be me, Dave, and Jake. Dave will try to control Mistress 9 while Jake gives me the boost I need to pull it off safely and painlessly.
We can do it any time you want.

[superseding]

[ Hotaru stares at this text message for a long moment. She can't believe it's really real. It takes her a few minutes to settle the idea that it's time in her head. She determined she was ready before, but now that the reality has come, it's unreal. ]

Can we do it now? Where should I meet you? Is there anything I need to do?

[splinten]

[He doesn't mind the delay. He imagines she might be nervous, what with her soul being about to be subject to some ripping. (Dirk reminds himself that this isn't ripping, this is another procedure. Jake is helping him do something different.)]

We can meet now in the med bay. You don't worry about having to do anything in particular. I would say just try to stay as calm as you can for your own sake. It's a blatantly impossible request, and it won't have any effect on what we're doing, but really the only thing you need to do right now is take care of yourself.

[subnauticmods]

[ On the morning of December 25th, Hotaru will wake up to a small, brightly wrapped package next to where she sleeps. Inside it will be a drawing of her and URSULA in her robot form, both putting flower crowns onto each other. The picture is also framed. Besides that, there are also cookies that she managed to bake herself! As she cannot taste test, they might not be perfect, but they are cutely decorated with “Happy Holidays, Hotaru!” and other holiday themed items, like snowmen and reindeer.

A note attached simply says, “From URSULA!” ]

[oneandmikleonly]

[sometime around the end of January, a package shows up at Hotaru's door! a couple of cute if somewhat clumsily-made cat emoji pillows are inside. sandwiched between them is a pair of the goggleos Dirk made just for her use, so she can see him whenever.

the note just says Thank you.]

[superseding]

[ If it weren't for the goggleos, Hotaru would've been stumped for a while about her mysterious gift giver. However, since they're there, she immediately puts them on and goes seraph hunting.

Wherever he is on base (hopefully, he is on base. Otherwise, she waits at the entrance for his inevitable return), she beams straight at him when she sees him. ]

Mikleo, Mikleo, Mikleo!

[oneandmikleonly]

[she catches him in the library -- it's a good thing he wears such bright clothes or he'd have been hard to spot, actually, between the giant book in his lap and the way he's slouched back in the chair. he perks up at the sound of her voice, though, straightening immediately, and a huge grin blossoms on his face when he sees what she's wearing.]

Hotaru! You got them!

2/5?? probably

[lamortespoir]

Hello, Hotaru.

If you are free, could you come by for a little chat? I am at the medbay, as usual.

[ He feels comfortable enough to ask, that's what - but it's been a while and he feels he should tell her something. ]

[superseding]

Hi, Dr. Sanson. I'm free. I'll be there in a few minutes.

{ Hotaru has no clue what Sanson would want to talk about, but she feels like it's at least a little important. He doesn't usually go out of the way to request a conversation like this. Curiously, she pokes her head into the medbay. ]

Dr. Sanson? I'm here.

[lamortespoir]

[ When she arrives, he'll be seated at the table with a pot of tea brewing. Makoto taught him how to use the electric pot and it's been useful. ]

Hello, Hotaru. I hope I'm not inconveniencing you. [ He looks calm, but also a little uplifted - less serious than usual, of course. And now, cutting straight to the point: ] I wish to ask you something, if that's alright. I am a little curious about your powers... if you are willing to tell me about them, I would very much like to listen.

[ He's also been giving kids here Servant titles based on their abilities, so that's that. ]
