[Have a Yuri pacing on the Plane. He keeps driving his fist into his palm as he walks, a mixture of worry and annoyance on his face.]

Where the hell did that old man get too? He's the only way we can get to Kato, and we should have left already... [The gem at his throat is yellow now, and he glances down at it before growling slight] And I have to take care of this too...damn it!

[ooc: Not plot related.]

[Time to address his team about certain recent events, woot]

Puck, Juliet, if I could have a moment of your time.

First of all, don't worry, I'm sure you will both be back to normal by tomorrow evening.

Secondly, I hope you both have learned a lesson out of this. I know I often look the other way when you two fight over trivial matters. [Not that he is a trivial matter, but he doesn't want to point out that he knows a lot of those fights were about him. Sometimes it's a good thing to hide your ego a little.] But, I do notice and I would like you two to make an effort to put a stop to these! Otherwise things like this 'girl' thing might happen more often.

Actually, I was hoping it would bring you two closer together, you know, sharing the same misfortunes and all. But that scenario turned out wrong. [Looks depressed, because scenarios are precious and it is such a shame when they don't work out.]

Anyway! [smiling again~] Do make an effort? If not for yourselves or myself, do it for the sake of the team. Because when other teams would see you two fight like this we'd be a running joke!

Also, Hamlet, are you alright? You seem to be a bit quiet lately.

Oh, and Juliet, we have something else to discuss. [Serious face goes here]

[appears on the Plane, a bit winded and disheveled]

No matter how many times I see, the sight is never any better...

[ Angela's here now, sipping on a cup of what is likely watered-down cocoa, and as usual, looking worn-out. She'll be better once mommy comes home. ]

So... I found my mother, I think. Hey, person in red with the wheels on your feet, could you get her back to me? We've pretty much run out of supplies to keep everyone warm. People will start getting sick if she isn't back to keep the flame going.

The girl I found hasn't been identified, though. No one's lost her, then? She's really a sweet person, it seems wrong that no one's come forth to claim her.

[Remember that demon tree Ammy brought last time? She appears near it again, only this time she's in the form of a beautiful human woman. Her hair is long and white, and the same red markings are around her eyes and face. She's wearing a furisode (kimono with long sleeves) of very pale green with a pattern of sakura branches and chickadees. She looks over the single tree and reaches up to rub her chin with delicate-looking fingers.]

It's very lonely-looking, isn't it? This simply won't do.

[A simple ink brush materializes in her hand and she presses the end of the handle to her lips contemplatively, like a painter scoping out her canvas.]

Some more trees, I think. Some flowers...perhaps a bit of water. [She smiles.] Yes.

[Only psychics or those attuned to such things will be able to see her work. She lifts the brush and makes several dots near the lone tree. Trees sprout from the dots--sakura, plum, pine, maple, and so on, until there's a tiny forest of trees, all of which are healthy and in bloom. Amaterasu then drags the brush over the ground around the base of the trees, and flowers, grass and small plants sprout as well. She looks over her handiwork and nods.]

[She disappears for a minute or so, and when she returns there's a small creek wending its way through the little forest.]

And for the finishing touches...

[Amaterasu paints tiny dashes in the air above the forest and from out of nowhere a light drizzle falls, making the leaves and blossoms glisten. Amaterasu beams and the brush in her hand disappears.]

Very nice, I think. Though I'm amazed that such simple work has tired me so...

[She walks forward and then settles down in the grass beneath a particularly tall maple, gathering the furisode around her.]

Ah, and now is as good a time as any. I should like to speak to those little Twins, if they are about~

[hi there everybody! the TARDIS is not pleased. she's very much unhappy and pouty and all sorts of other things]

Doctor? I ... will return your Mickey, you need only tell me where. Unless you decide instead that I might keep him, after all?

As for Miss Pollard, I will ... take her back, as well. [frowns] If I must.
