[On the feed, you can see a pretty blonde girl staring at the screen. She's brushing her long hair with one hand, reaching to poke around on the screen with the other.

Finally, she lets out a little sigh, and mutters:]

Same shit, different day, I guess.

[She'll finally look directly into the camera, now, and put on a bit of a smile as she continues brushing her hair.]

So, it looks like I'm one of the few people whose age didn't get screwed around with. Anyone else out there?

[wilder]

Yeah? Hm.

[ino]

... Right.

[AWKWARD ...]

So did anybody you know get messed with?

[wilder]

....Maybe. I'll have to look into it.

[ino]

You don't know?

[wilder]

Nope!

[ino]

What have you been doing lately?

[please don't tell her you're turning into a hermit like onceler]

[wilder]

[SINCE THIS IS BEFORE THE RABID CHILD IS SUPPOSED TO COME INTO HIS LIFE-]

Uh...not much?

[ino]

Like, going outside or reading the device or anything? Have you been doing that?

[don't make her mother you, zelos]

[wilder]

I'm looking at the device right now aren't I? And I go outside, even if it's raining all the time.

[ino]

[pinches the bridge of her nose ...]

That's what cloaks and umbrellas are for.

[wilder]

So? It's still gross outside.

[ino]

It's still fresh air. It's unhealthy for you to lock yourself up in your room all the time.

[wilder]

Dude have you breathed that air? It is not fresh.

[ino]

[TECHNICALITIES.]

As fresh as it gets.

[she frowns, leaning in to the camera a little]

What happened to the guy who used to lecture me about not going out enough? How about we spar or something?

[wilder]

[HE DIED INO. HE DIED AND GOT RESURRECTED IN A SHITTY TOWN WITH EVEN LESS SHIT TO DO]

Spar?

[There's hesitation because ugh what if his powers act up again?]

All right, I could go for one of those.

[ino]

[SOB]

Great! Do you know where the training center is?

[wilder]

Yeah yeah.

You wanna go now?

[ino]

Sure!

Oh, do you mind if I bring Sakura with me, though? She's a little kid right now and I don't want to leave her unattended.

[wilder]

Sure, I don't care.

[ino]

Alright, then I'll meet you there in fifteen minutes?

[wilder]

I'll be there.

[ACTION and i guess ino > sakura > zelos?!?!]

[ino]

[she's just waiting in the training center at the appointed time with a little sakura in tow! and she'll be absently poking at some of the weapons on the wall]

[notyetwonderwoman]

( Sakura will be close to Ino, leaning forward to examine the weapons she has absolutely never seen before. Mostly these weird gun-things. With her hands clasped behind her back to prevent herself from touching anything, her eyes are wide and she's tilting her head one direction to see down a rifle barrel... )

[wilder]

[And Zelos will arrive a bit later. He's wearing a dark cloak to shield from the rain, but lowers the hood when he comes into the training center and sees it's just Ino and that kid]

Yo.

[ino]

[THAT IS DANGEROUS THOSE THINGS HAVE EXPLODING STUFF, SAKURA.]

--Sakura, you really shouldn't put your face near those --

[oh, hey Zelos]

--Hey.
