♢ 2 ♢ ninth pact ❖ {light and darkness}

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Marta is mid-pacing when she appears on the plane, hands clasped behind her back and head tilted upward as she loses herself in her own thoughts.]

Come on, Marta, think. There's got to be a way to show him...

[Emil appears on the Plane a moment later. He's also pacing, and looking at a small notebook in his palm, but when he notices Marta's talking to herself he puts it away.]

Hey, Marta... You're not mad because Genis doesn't like your cooking, are you?

No! I'm not mad! [Because that's convincing. She's stopped pacing, though.] I'm just thinking.

[He flinches and takes a step back.] O-okay! I believe you! [... Sigh. He pauses, then ventures a question.] Is it about that weird burning smell?

Hm? Oh. No, not exactly, but... [Well, hey, there's an idea... Maybe if Marta learned to cook — better than Raine at the very least...]

Oh... okay. [Emil plops down on the Milky Way and stifles a yawn.] We should rest here a bit before going back...

[ooc: Marta and Emil have been canonbumped to the beginning of Chapter 4. :D Feel free to bother the lovely couple.]

[Marta nods in response to Emil, but goes right back to pacing, more lost in thought than before. She could find the ingredients, and she could surely find ways to practice. Time to actually do so, on the other hand...

Wait! Time doesn't pass here! This could work!

She's smiling now, but still off in her own little world.]

[Emil tries to figure out what she's thinking, but he can't.

Man, girls are weird.



Since she's so distracted, he's taking out that little notebook again and going through it.] "Library - stocked with many books. None on mana. Colosseum - expansive but empty. Lit with torches. Theatre - familiar magitech. Seems very antique..." Why would I write what I already know...?

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[It takes another minute before she's got a sort of half-baked (... more like quarter-baked) plan of action, and she decides that's enough thought on it for now. She goes to sit beside Emil, glancing down at the notebook.]

Hm? Something wrong, Emil? [Why yes, she's reading whatever page he's glancing at now.]

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm still trying to make sense of this. I don't remember writing it...

It's probably nothing. I haven't been sleeping well, so maybe I was really tired when I made these notes.

[The Doctor can't help smiling.]

Looks like someone is doing well.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Emil blinks at Ten.]

Ah... what do you mean?

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[He frowns a bit.]

Oh, well...maybe...have you been feeling all right, Emil?

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Aren't you two a little young for a lover's tiff?

Just saying.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[BLUSH.] L-Lover's tiff?! It's not-- I mean-- [Watch as she mentally flails and stumbles.]

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

You don't need to explain. I don't really care.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

L-lover's tiff?! [DON'T ENCOURAGE HER, DUDE] It's nothing like that!

[house-1-god-0.livejournal.com]

Feel free to elaborate, but note, I don't care either way.

[Still a little bit under the weather wut]

Everything seems to be as it should for you two.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

Huh? Oh! Hello, Mu. [She gives him a little smile.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Hello, Marta.

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[Awww, Mu.] Heheh... I guess. [He smiles a teeny bit and tucks the notebook away.] What about you, Mu?

[lamb_of_gold]

Concerned about your apparent loss of memory.

[ Roxas who may or may not still be a cartoon idk let Saffy decide happens to be nearby. ]

Hey, Emil. [ A look to Marta, but he's not sure he's met her before, and doesn't want to be rude. ] Uh, hi. What's going on?

[pactum.livejournal.com]

[It's been a few days.] Oh, Roxas! You're back to normal. [Emil scratches the back of his head.] Us? Um, nothing much... we managed to get a Core before Lloyd, though.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Axel has since ditched Roxas, then? He grins. ] Yeah, we're not in the past anymore. ... Did you? Those are... Ratatosk's things, right?

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[Ooh? Emil has a friend? Who is this strange person? Well, any friend of Emil's is a friend of Marta's! Except Richter So, she smiles politely and waves.]

Hi! You know Emil, then?

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

[ Roxas gives a wave back. ] Yeah. I'm Roxas - it's nice to meet you.

[handfulofstraw.livejournal.com]

Emil? I hope I'm not disturbing you and your friend...

[pactum.livejournal.com]

Oh! N-no, not at all... [He gets up and goes to his side.] It's always good to see you, Dr. Crane. This is Marta, from my world.

Maybe we should... uh, talk in private.

[formervanguard.livejournal.com]

[headtilt...?]

Um, hello. [smiles a bit, politely] Nice to meet you. [She gives Emil a questioning, slightly concerned look at the mention of talking in private...?]

((OoC: Tell me if I should move my comment...?))
