[She appears on the plane looking worn, but healthy, dressed in plain white scrubs. More than that, she seems totally calm. There’s a couch--it looks almost clinical in its state of neat disuse. Misaki tosses a doctor’s coat over the back of the couch and lays down on the couch itself, resting her arm over her eyes. Her hand has a loose bandage on it and, believe it or not, there’s a faint edge of gray showing at one temple.]

[It’s been a long week. And it’s not over yet.]

Came back--but. You're younger again. [Forgive her, Mu, her brains are a bit scrambled.]

[lamb_of_gold]

It's been five years since I was here last...

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

F--oh. Ohh.

[Well. At least it makes more sense now. She flops back onto the couch.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Misaki, right?

What happened.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Yes. That's me. [Lord, of all the times for Mu to go tiny on her--]

A lot. Most of it deeply involved in my reality's current situation and politics.

[lamb_of_gold]

Are you hurt?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Not badly. Mostly just tired. What about you? Are you all right?

[lamb_of_gold]

Alright.

I am fine.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

You don't look it.

[lamb_of_gold]

Well enough, then.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

What's happened, Mu?

[lamb_of_gold]

Recently? Nothing. Absolutely nothing,

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[...well that's conspicuous] Why nothing at all?

[lamb_of_gold]

Nothing ever happens at Jamir, usually. The sun rises, the sun sets, the seasons change. Sometimes I go to see Roshi. Sometimes I go to town. Sometimes people try and find me. They usually fail.

But where's Shion? I thought he was with you.

[lamb_of_gold]

[...wtg, Misaki]


Shion...He's dead. He died five years ago...

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[IT'S NOT HER FAULT HER MUN WAS BRAINSPAZZING WHEN SHIT WENT DOWN.]

He--what? How?

[No, Misaki, this is twelve-year-old Mu, not adult Mu.] Never mind, I'm... I'm sorry.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Makes a little 'hmm'ing sound. A moment of silence passes before he gestures at her getup] What happened?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

A lot has. [Rubs her forehead]

[lamb_of_gold]

And you're alright?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

As well as can be expected. I promise.

[lamb_of_gold]

[A small smile] If you're sure.
