I never thought picking up the pieces of myself would be so hard...

Aki wondered to herself as she lie in her beach chair, dressed in her usual home attire. Her deck had a nice overlook of the Capital City across the empty field that she claimed as a backyard. She was laying on her side with her hand on her forehead, thinking about the past month. She had taken voluntary leave for the first time in her career after her breakdown during the crisis.

She was sad, but most of all she was angry. Not angry at anybody in particular, but rather disappointed in herself. Part of her house was a wreck, from where she had blown off alot of steam, and she had tired Maxis out for the entire week. There was nothing else to do but think, and think and think... It made her so angry.

BOOM!

The sound echoed through the landscape as her fist connected with the ground below her. No sounds of anger had come out, but tears were now running down her face as she examined her bloody hand. "Goddamnit..." she muttered to herself.

A couple of voices were heard from the distance.

"Kat let go of me! Kat! Stop it! NO STOP IT! AGH WHY AM I WITH YOU ANYWAY!?"

"B-but that was loud and scary and I don't know if it's some big monster about to eat us!"

"Gerroff me! Kat I'm warrning you! Stop choking me!"

A yelp sounded and from the distance, two females were uh...fighting?

A blue haired girl who looked younger than the brilliant green-haired girl pinned the green-haired one to the ground and had a thick vine around her torso. "I warned you didn't I!? Now let go of me!" The vines shrunk back and the blue haired girl let go. "You're an embarrassment to nature, you know that?"

The green-haired girl whined like a kid"But that was scary!" The blue haired girl sighed"Just shut up and we'll find out what that sound was okay?

The entire time, they were walking closer and closer to Aki.

She stopped momentarily and looked up over the balcony. "Who's there?" she called out to them.

Kat froze in place, startled by the sudden voice of someone, naturally having a branch cling around Yuki's waist."Kat, for the last time. I swear I'll chop your branches off!"

Kat let go again and looked in the direction of the voice she heard. "Um. hi...?"she said in a weak voice. Yuki followed her gaze and just gave a look of Oh great, someone saw another stupid moment between us. What now. She remained silent.

"Kids?" she said to herself. "Are you guys lost?" she calls to them.

Ghost · « **Reply #5 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:25:51 AM »

Yuki's ear twitched, kids? "Are you serious.... Calling me a kid... Really..."She growled."In what way am I a kid...."

Kat"Um, maybe, yes? No? I dunno?" She blinked innocently.

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #6 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:31:19 AM »

Aki smirked. "Sorry." she called back. "What are you all doing here?"

Ghost · « **Reply #7 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:36:15 AM »

When the two were just a few feet away, Kat started"We travel around and stuff to sight see!"

Yuki face-palmed,"Really, I'm an assassin but I don't have any tasks right now, so we're just traveling. When we, uh... Sight-see, Really Kat's exploring and I'm somewhere finishing a job. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand then I have to babysit that green haired nutcase."

Kat"So what are you doing here?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #8 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:39:38 AM »

Aki laughs. "Well, I live here. This is my house." she points to the big mansion shadowing them. "So, what are you names? Im assuming the green haired one is Kat?"

Ghost · « **Reply #9 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:41:14 AM »

Kat"My full name is Katrina! But I'm called Kat for short."

The shorter, blue haired girl said"Name's Yuki Shiotaro. Yours?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #10 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:44:16 AM »

"Wow you 2 really arent from here, are you." she smiled. "Im Fleet Admiral Aki Sora... You can call me Aki Its very nice to meet you 2." she says and gestures for them to take a seat. "So how did you both wind up on my field? Its a little far from the tourist district of the Capital."

Ghost · « **Reply #11 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:48:14 AM »

Kat practically drags Yuki to the seats happily. Yuki sat down along with Kat and sighed"Well, Kat's attracted to plants because she's a dryad. So she saw this field and noticed how 'wonderful' it was and dragged me over here."

Kat responds excitedly"It's a really well grown field, I've never seen plants so happy and healthy on this kind of planet before!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #12 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:52:26 AM »

"Interesting..." she said. "So where did you come from?" she leaned forward.

Ghost · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:55:32 AM »

Yuki leaned back a little"I'll keep that classified thanks."

Kat"Um. I forgot the name. Lots of plants though!"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2012, 06:58:15 AM »

"Figures.." she chuckled. "You know, you remind me of my friend Regis. He tends to say that word... alot." she glances to the impact mark of the deck surrounded by some blood, and gently moves her foot over it. "So, an assassin huh? Government, freelance, weird hobby?"

Ghost · « **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:02:14 AM »

Yuki"Eh, more or less Freelance kinda deal. I just get whatever people hand to me. Couldn't care less. I Guess I'll say something about my home planet. The people there are peaceful. Being an assassin is the last thing they want to do. But because I grew so skilled with blades, I became as assassin. And no, I didn't kill anyone on my home planet. I would never betray the people there"

Katrina nodded"She's not as scary as other assassins too! Some just threaten to kill you if you even glance at them! She's a really nice assassin!"

Yuki glared at Kat... Idiot...

"I bet..." Aki says. "Believe it or not I used to do that kind of stuff. For the government of course, but it was still pretty similar." she sat back in her chair. "How long have you been on the planet?"

Ghost · « **Reply #17 on:** August 09, 2012, 07:19:26 AM »

Kat"A couple days?" Yuki sighed"A month...." Kat" Na-uh! It was totally two days!" Yuki"Felt like a month to me"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #18 on:** August 09, 2012, 11:59:57 PM »

"And you've just been wondering around the field?" she ask in a little surprise.

Ghost · « **Reply #19 on:** August 11, 2012, 05:49:11 PM »

Yuki growled"I blame Kat"

Katrina glanced over innocently"What?"

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2012, 02:01:49 AM »

"Well, I guess i've asked enough questions for now. Would you two like something to eat?" she asks.

Ghost · « **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2012, 06:18:45 AM »

Kat pondered the question. "is there amything you use to make your plants so healthy?" Her being a Dryad and all, she eats the same things plants do. Though, plants don't exactly eat but absorb nutrients. Oh well, if there is a fertilizer they use, she's stuffing her face with it.

Yuki thought for a moment and then said"Eh, raw fish might work for me..."

Ghost · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2012, 12:04:42 PM »

(lyoko.....)

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #23 on:** August 27, 2012, 04:57:50 AM »

Aki thought for a moment. "Well, my system can prepare some raw fish.... uh, as for plant food, i might have some fertilizer." she smirks and shrugs her shoulders. "Im not sure why my plants are healthy to be honest."

Ghost · « **Reply #24 on:** August 27, 2012, 10:00:21 AM »

Kat's eyes grew big and she jumped around with glee. Yuki mewed"That's nice of you.." She looked at kat"Why do you act like a five year old!?"

Kat frowned"I'm not five?"

"You're older than me!"
