After "Devotion" / The Mother of Beasts

1.[After everything that happened on the last mission, Eva is worn out. So she's sitting on a chair out in the hangar, looking up at the Tern and gathering herself. Her hands are quietly shaking.]

2.[Night finds you walking the halls of Alahambra base-but it's wrong. Windows are shattered, lights flicker, and there's dirt everywhere. The place is familiar but not, looking exactly like the base might if it'd been abandoned for five or ten years. Nobody else is around.

-Until a teenage girl drops out of the ceiling right in front of your face.]


Boo!

We'll have come to a pretty pass if I need the help of an anomalous psychic ghost to terrify Klein into behaving, lady.

Which leads me to my own question. What in the fuck did Project Pedantic Blue involve to make you able to remain conscious after death?Most souls can't think coherently without a brain. They're not more people than a liver would be.

On that front? I got nothin'. Nobody else from there's even close to me, it's like the difference between an elephant and an ant...Might just be an issue of rage, though.

The other thing is...I might not actually be entirely dead.

It's just, I haven't eaten in the past 19 years, so I'm pretty sure I'm dead.

Not necessarily. It depends on what you got turned into. Plenty of things that don't need to eat.

[Being a Mistletoe and working for GRAVEYARD, Kagura has seen all sorts of weird things. Hell, she herself is a weird thing, in fairness.]

[A shrug from the psychic ghost.]

Who knows? I just am. Though it's been getting harder to keep clinging to the earth...both with time, and when I do big things like this.

Still, I'm glad to have met you.

Re: 2

Now there's a thing I don't hear very often. Most people would rather I fell into a hole and died.

So, the question is why are you clinging this way. And if I'm right in my guess... you understand, of course, that whatever crazy revenge plans you have, my job is to try to stop them.

Are you kidding! I got to find out fairies are real! That's great. Way better than staring into darkness, for sure.


...As for the other part...Well, you're not going to be the only one.

Re: 2

[keep_your_dignity]

I am a GRAVEYARD Mistletoe and a commissioned officer. Not a fairy.

[At the second part, the little fairy grins a nasty grin that looks entirely out of place in her adorable features]



Good. I prefer it when my enemies understand where everyone is standing from moment one. Makes getting to the problem solving much faster.

...Sure.

See you at the end of the world, Tinkerbell.

[And that's all, before Samantha breaks apart into dust and scatters.]
