002 [video / action]

[hollowchild]

[Sophie's in the park, sitting with her back to the sun and looking considerably healthier than she was a few days ago. the burns are nearly healed and there's a bit of a flush to her, like she's been exerting herself and is taking a break. before she speaks, she takes a small, steeling breath]

I think we are all exceptionally aware of what went on in the city a few days back, but I've heard very little about either of the expeditions. While what happened here was certainly more...dramatic...in the long run, at very least the expedition to Utgard seems to be of importance. And I'm curious.

[she falters, unsure of where to go from there]

Are there any details to be shared? Perhaps it would be a good idea to find a way to keep everyone informed.

[Orihime's propped up in her bed in Sigyn house, recovering from being ill still]

Wait, I missed this! There was an expedition?

[she was stuck in the hospital healing Ichigo when it was announced, so she's mostly curious how they'd go out with everyone sick as they were]

I was with neither party, but I'd be interested in hearing whatever information you receive as well. I do love to stay current on gossip such as this.

[hollowchild]

There was. They left the day before the canisters dropped.

[hollowchild]

Just gossip?

It seems like something many people should be interested in, for many different reasons.

[highstakesgame]

But it is interesting!

And what importance did the mission into Utgard have?

[holyfight]

Eh heh, I didn't even hear it announced! I was busy healing someone in the hospital, so I was there the entire time.

[comeonthensexy]

The way is easy. Just get everyone together, compile whatever everyone found and then share it with the public.

[Video]

[hollowchild]

...getting everyone together is easy?

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

How difficult can it really be?

Or you could choose someone in charge of it and let everyone write their things down and send it to that person.

[hollowchild]

Well, yes. That's true.

I believe that they went to secure supplies, at the behest of the gods. It was a very sudden sort of thing.

[hollowchild]

That's not really something I could say. I'm not exactly the leaderly type, Doctor. [rueful smile] And none of them have had much to say, yet. Or have been able to say much.

[a small shrug]

[hollowchild]

It all happened rather quickly, I think. An easy thing to miss.

[highstakesgame]

Is that really something that requires an expedition? Do they not have normal trade routes?

[holyfight]

Uhn! I woke up one morning to see people being admitted and by that afternoon they were everywhere.

Oh! I don't think we've met before! I'm Inoue Orihime! What's your name?

[hollowchild]

That isn't something I could say. My arrival here is recent.

[highstakesgame]

Mine is not, but I have never troubled myself over the acquisition of trivial things.

I am Beatrice the Golden. And you are?

[hollowchild]

I'm not sure I have been here long enough to judge the trivial from then not.

I'm Sophie Gargamel.

[she nods her head, something like a bow]

Well-met, Beatrice the Golden.

[hollowchild]

Yes, that all happened quite quickly too.

Well-met, Inoue Orihime. I'm Sophie Gargamel.

[holyfight]

It's nice to meet you, too, Sophie-san.

Did you get sick, too?

[highstakesgame]

And you as well, Sophie Gargamel.

Ah - then do you not have means where you are from? I have never bothered with the acquisition of things such as food, clothes, and drink. My furniture handle all that for me, as it is a waste of my time.

[hollowchild]

I did, but not so ill as others. The healers found the treatment before I reached the worst of it.

[she has fading burn marks, and the shadows beneath her eyes would hint at sleeping rather poorly, but otherwise she seems fairly well]

[hollowchild]

...your furniture?

My father and several of my siblings are sorcerers, but I am used to making my own way.

[holyfight]

Eh heh, I think Kurosaki-kun got someone to give me a shot, because I just know I was really sick and then I slept a lot.

[mostly because she was already on her way to being sick anyway from healing Ichigo so much]

[highstakesgame]

I believe a human equivalent is 'servant' or 'staff'.

Indeed! I am a witch myself! There are a couple of us scattered about here, then!

[hollowchild]

...ah. We never had humans serve us. Household manifestations were sufficient.

I'm not among your number, I'm afraid.
