I know...


[ The next message comes after a few minutes. ]

You and I both saw people dear to us fall.
I know we all expected it-
But it will hurt regardless of how strong we may see ourselves.
'tis why I worry, Lotor.

If you do not mind—
I would like to see you.
May I?

[alienation]

[ Unseen, he's sighing. ]

I truly must express that I do not require comforting.
But if you would like to meet, I will be in the workshop shortly.

[menphina]

[ Of course he wouldn't— but she still has to make sure. ]

I'll meet you there.


[ She wants to know what happened with him, anyway, and she'll arrive some minutes later, glancing around until she spots him. ]


... forgive me for interrupting.

[alienation]

I technically invited you, no?

[ He's got some sort of contraption up on a little table. It mostly looks like a bunch of computer parts, and he's pulling wires from one area and placing them into the next. ]

[menphina]

[ Oh, sparky. ]

Aye... though, what's this...?


[ Curiously approaching. ]

[alienation]

When I first arrived here, I was told that the moon may be an illusion.

This, [ gesturing to his contraption-to-be. ] is part of a scanner from my spaceship. I am putting part of it together to see what else may be out there.

[menphina]

Your spaceship... how curious. The moon back around our star is-

[ She wonders if it counts as fake, too, all things considered. It's been orbiting their star long enough, despite what it is, right? ]

... well, I suppose it doesn't matter here. The weather hasn't made any sense, either. I'd like to know what's out there, too.

[ She watches Lotor for a bit. ]

Do you need any help with it?

[alienation]

At this stage, it is mostly just crossed wires.

[ This purple outlet needs that slightly-pinker-purple cord, and all of that. ]

Shall I tell you of my findings, when the time comes?

[menphina]

Only if I'm not there to find them with you.


[ Crossed wires... ]

If mine younger brother was here, he'd have surely jumped at the chance to assist you. Technology like this isn't my forte.

[ She looks around the workshop though. ]

... this is a better distraction than being underwater for bells, I suppose. I've not yet checked up on Tsuchigumo, but seeing as what happened last time... waiting is all we can do.
