47 [Voice]

Hotaru is gone.

[Her voice is monotone.

Two senshi in as many weeks. Plus a slew of other absences. On top of everything else that has happened. Rei is dangerously close to snapping, but she manages it well.

It's really just the icing on the cake.]

[Filtered to the senshi // Private // Unhackable]

That Aya woman is from our world. I know she is. But I don't remember who or why... We should keep an eye on her.

[Voice is better to keep people from seeing the tears in her eyes even if the waver is still there. Hotaru was her best friend and she knows it's a good thing to go home but it doesn't make it better.]

It's better if she's back home.

[Now on to senshi business.]

The blue-haired woman?

[flameandpassion]

[Aaah, Chibiusa. Rei's careful monotone breaks just the littlest bit.]

Mm, that's the one.

Do you want to tell me about it in person?

[Voice || Filter]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

[She has to be the strong one, all of the others have been here a while and been through so much. Focusing on senshi business allowed that.]

I've never seen her before today. Maybe she showed up after I left to go home.

I'm in the kitchen right now. [Because crying in her shared room with Usagi wouldn't be good.]

[flameandpassion]

I can come sit with you there, then. We can have tea.

[Voice || Filter]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

I'll get the tea cups.

[flameandpassion]

[She comes downstairs without another word, depositing her PCD on the table. She looks better -- her cold is all but gone and she's moving with something of a purpose now, but her eyes look tired.]

[Offline]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

[There are tea cups set out like she said but also everything else to make tea with. Two white rabbit ears are sticking up from her pink hair and there's a matching white fluffball of a tail. She doesn't look tired though there is a hint of sadness on her face. Still she can't help but worry more for her friend.]

What kind of tea would you like?

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

Whatever is there.

[Rei, mercifully, escaped this event -- but she quirks a tiny smile at Chibiusa's rabbit ears and tail.

Figures.]

[Chibi-Usa just randomly picks one to start making since it doesn't matter to her as she likes them all. The unchanged Rei doesn't go unnoticed.]

Why didn't you get animal ears? You would have looked good as a black jaguar.

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

I guess the Animus decided to leave me alone this time around, but I like your eyes. You match Usagi.

[Offline]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

I want to keep them forever, they're really great. [Of course it's only because they're rabbit appendages. Anything else wouldn't be as good.] Do the Animus usually leave a few people alone?

[Offline]

[flameandpassion]

Sometimes, but there isn't really a pattern on who they leave alone. It's usually random.

[Now that the tea's done she brings over the two cups, offering one to Rei.]

I wonder why they even do it in the first place.

Chibi-Usa...

Come over later? Please?

[The bunny girl's voice sounds disturbingly quiet and thin.]

[Hearing her mama like that makes Chibi-Usa want to drop everything to find her.]

Do you want to have tea with me and Rei-chan?

Re: [Voice || Filter]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

I'd like that a lot if it's OK.

[You need hugs, too, daughter of hers.]

[Voice || Filter]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

It's okay with me and I don't think Rei-chan will mind.

[Senshi always stick together when they lose one of their numbers. Hugs all around.]

Re: [Voice || Filter]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Mm. Thanks. Right now what I want most is to see everyone who's here.

We look alike right now, you know. [Have a wiggling nose in a lame attempt to lighten things up.]

[Voice || Filter]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

I know. [Chibi-Usa's been around long enough to know that fact.] It'd be nice to see them all right now.

[A faint smile.] We looked alike before too.

Re: [Voice || Filter]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

Yeah but this is even cuter.

[Voice || Filter]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

They are cute! I want to stay like this forever.

Re: [Voice || Filter]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

It'll probably wear off after the week, like usual. But we can have some fun with it until then.

[Voice || Filter]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can invite other girls over to have an animal sleep over.

Re: [Voice || Filter]

[buntails.livejournal.com]

A zoo.

[She can't help it. Really.]

[smallxlady.livejournal.com]

It's only a zoo if we can get an elephant.
