「deux」♫ video (action for roommates @ 127/north wing)

[Now here is someone who's been absent throughout the mutiny mess, if the confused look on her face that appears briefly is of any indication. Gently combing through her wavy hair with a free hand, manicured fingers wiggling in and out, Sheryl lets out a soft sigh as she purses her lips to frown deeply.]

Well, well, well... if what I'm getting from hearsay is all true, then I'm so relieved to miss the disaster completely!

[She parts her mouth like she's about to say more. Angry rants at the people involved, massive scolding for dragging the rest of the Transports into their troubles and causing destruction, nicely-worded yet sharp insults at their direction. Instead, she slowly pushes the momentary look of anger aside, gaining her composure while she rubs her cheek and sits up straight, blue eyes locked on to anyone viewing this feed. Sheryl appears calm now, but she's nowhere near her boisterous self, not after learning what happened to Jesse (or what he did).

Still, she manages to sound happy enough. Only a little.]


Anyway, there's something I've been very curious about and I'm hoping to hear excellent answers from you. Now be good people and lend me your ears, all right? It'll only be for a moment.

[A faint smile morphs on her lips, but it lasts for a split second before she frowns, looking thoughtful. Cue the long pause.]

Have you ever wondered if you feel any differently after growing up in this war for so long? I'm not talking about emotions alone, but if you've changed completely after dealing with the Initiative, the UE, that irritating AI, these missions... everything. I've been here for almost a year now, and there were so many experiences I'd never thought I could possess. I wonder, does this mean I should feel older because of it? There's something to be said about war causing people to grow up so fast, after all...

[Like joining forces with a resistance to fight another country, using her own songs to drive the enemy soldiers literally down to their knees. The way she speaks contains genuine ruefulness to her tone, but it's not too long before she smiles once more.]

As of today, I'm officially eighteen, and yet I still feel like I'm seventeen.

I'll second that. Anyplace but the moon!

[Asuka flops over onto her back, staring up at the ceiling.]

Maybe they'll let us choose a world to go to. That'd be...

[She trails off and shrugs, the thought incomplete.]

Mm, I meant more of what if someone wanted to live in a different world with someone else. Like me going to Sheryl's or whatever. It'd be interesting.

[Kallen scratches her cheek, then lets her hand flop down on the bed beside her.]

It's just idle thoughts anyway. Nothing really worth dwelling on.

[Asuka blinks and half sits up, propping herself on her elbows.]

Huh. That'd be kinda neat. Only if you can get me the VIP treatment, though!

I'd be more interested in those variable fighters you told me about. Seeing one in action at least would be worth the trip!

[Kallen pauses, then grins at Sheryl.] Not that seeing you in your element wouldn't be.
redheadcarrier: (What?)

[personal profile] redheadcarrier 2013-12-03 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Variable fighters...?

[Asuka perks. Surprisingly enough, she hasn't heard much about them.]

Those are your fighting machines, right?
