I've been very busy with work... and some other things. I don't want anything for my birthday or Christmas. I really don't.

...I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with many of you.

((If anyone on board the Ptolemaios wants an rl, go for it!))

[ "family", huh? so she really feels that close to all of them? ]

Which is why you came back in the end, huh.

[ beat. ] Hey, who knows. Maybe one day soon, things'll finally quiet down here and stop being so urgent, and you'll have time to take a short holiday. I'm sure that Doctor'd be glad to have you back for a while, right?

[givesherflower]

Mmhm.

[She considers what he says. If she could leave on a short holiday to visit him, it would be fantastic. But on the other hand, she was pretty sure his world-hopping ship was only built for one. It had been a while since she saw it, so maybe if she saw him again-- or even his ship-- she would ask about it.]

It would be nice, except he doesn't have the TARDIS anymore. Just a smaller worldhopping ship that he built while he was here. But maybe... maybe someday I can meet up with him somewhere in his universe again. I'd feel better about it if I didn't go until we finish taking care of A-LAWS first, though.

[Mission priority one: fix the part of the world that they broke. Until then, leaving-- even for a short while-- wouldn't feel right. After all her time with Celestial Being, she knows how quickly things can go to hell when things seem calm.]

Oh yeah... actually, now you mention it, I think I remember seeing that thing. [ or glimpses of it, at any rate. Lyle had popped his head in a couple of times, but mostly figured it was best to leave the man to it.

in any case... ] I think I get how you feel about the A-LAWS, though. Someone's gotta stop them in their tracks. I don't think any of us wanna have a world-wide dictatorship on our hands.

[givesherflower]

Not someone. [Her tone takes a hard turn into a place of sharp seriousness.] It has to be us. We changed the world, but in doing so, A-LAWS was created. Now we have to set things right. We have to change the world again, and we have to make it better. [Remember that broadcast by Aeolia Schenberg from five years ago, Lyle? Guess who was raised all around those ideals. Three guesses, and the first two don't count.] No one should have to live with them in control of the world.

[not_that_lockon]

... heh, right. You have to clear up your own messes, huh?

[ action ]

[givesherflower]

Exactly. [Especially since most of the general public is kept in the dark about exactly what is going on. B(]

[ action ]

[not_that_lockon]

We'll do it, for sure.

[ confidence: the first step to victory! 8D ]

[ action ]

[givesherflower]

You're right.

[Not only confidence. You see that fire in her eyes, Lyle? That's the determination of "we're doing this an seeing it through to the end or we're going to die trying".]

...Thank you.

[not_that_lockon]

[ he looks a little surprised, but it soon melts away into a smile. ]

Anytime. We've gotta look out for each other, right?

[ action ]

[givesherflower]

Right. [And there's that little smile on her face again. Congrats Lyle, you have now earned one (1) bridge bunny as a friend. When you level up, you will reach family status.]
