The Magic of Giving

[She's been hesitant to put out the message, but... She's not sure what to do, and she knows that trying to sort out everything by herself will probably just result in her messing everything up, as usual.

So, after some trepidation, a teary-eyed Hibiki shows up on the feed.]

U-umm... Norman-san is gone, if... If anyone was wondering why they can't contact him.

[She takes a small breath, steadying herself.]

He left everything to me, so... So I'll be taking care of Mary. But there's another thing he left behind, and I'm not really sure...

[She trails off before shaking her head and pointing the camera at what appears to be some kind of large robot.]

I... I don't know what to do with this, so... I thought it would be better if it went to somebody who does. So... If somebody would like to take it, I would be very grateful.

[Once again, she falls silent for a moment, but with nothing else to really say she decides to end the feed there. Rather than returning home right away, she curls up next to the foot of the robot, idly petting Mary while she waits to see if anyone responds.]

((OOC: The elven mecha is slated to go to Kaworu, but people are still free to bring it up! I'll just be tagging those as if they occurred after it was decided regardless of the actual order.))

[And Shinji's eyes widened and his mouth slightly agape at the sight of the mecha. He didn't think it was possible here in Asgard. (Looked like anything is possible...)

What an almost familiar sight for a former Eva pilot.

Except this was not an Eva. This was not Unit 01. Shinji had to tell himself that before he finally remembered his bracelet was on. He finally spoke and tried to look reassuring.]

Um. Maybe I could keep it safe until you find someone? [It would not be in bad hands!] A thing like that is... [a pause.] definitely is not something for you to worry about.

[saving_sound]

[Ah, so soon afterwards, too...]

Umm, actually... Someone I know said he'll take it, but... Th-thank you anyway!

[video]

[thehedgehogsdilemma]

[ A pity. It wasn't like Shinji had any intentions of fighting (...yet.), but looking after it would've been something Shinji felt like he could remotely do and not feel so useless, for once.

But it was fine. (?) ]

Ah. Is that so?

As long as it's in good hands, right? [And it would be just terrible if it wasn't!]

[video]

[saving_sound]

[She gives a small nod.]

Mm. Kaworu-san seemed to know what it was, so...

[She figured it would be best in the hands of a person who actually knew what in the world it was.]

[5thchild]

Hello Hibiki. [ he smiles softly.

he will take the robot, but first he wants to talk to her a bit ]

[video]

[saving_sound]

Kaworu-san... Hello.

[She just... doesn't quite have the energy to muster up a smile right now.]

[video]

[5thchild]

Would you like to meet up? So we can talk for a bit.

[video]

[saving_sound]

Huh? Um... Alright.

Where should we meet?

[charmandchant]

( oh .. no. why does she always see this girl looking so sad? it's a bit of off topic, but after a moment, Hermione says something. the only thing she can really think of saying. )

Hibiki .. do you like to read?

video;

[saving_sound]

Um-- R-read...?

[She hadn't really expected that question, so it takes her a little longer to answer.]

It's... It can be fun...?

video.

[charmandchant]

( Hermione tries to offer an encouraging smile. )

I work in a book shop and I really like to read. There are a lot of books I think you'd enjoy and if you wanted, you could stop by and have some tea, and read with me. We have all sorts of books, you can pick out whichever one you like and no one would bother you.

You could bring Mary with you, also.

[saving_sound]

T-tea...?

[And books. That would be nice...

She rubs at her eyes a little, trying to get rid of the tears.]

I... I think that would be good.

[true_renaissance_man]

Norman has left Asgard? He was very wise for his age, I am sure he will know what to do at home. We should be happy for him.

[He will be missed though, Leonardo liked him too. ]

But, who is Mary?

[And well... He was curious...]

Um... Norman had a large mechanical machine?

[Video]

[saving_sound]

...I hope so.

Mary is... Sh-she's a sheep. Over here.

[She points the camera briefly at a sheep whose wool seems to have been dyed green.]

And... it's a r-robot, I think.

[Video]

[true_renaissance_man]

Try not to worry, Hibiki.

A green pecore? He is a unique person, he would have a unique pet to match.

[(Sheep)
But about this machine...]

Did he build it?

[Video]

[saving_sound]

[She shakes her head.]

It... It was someone else's, I think. But they must have given it to him.

[Ohboyohboyohboy CRYING CHILD. Jack doesn't even know where to start.]

Hibiki... Do you need help?

[Video]

[saving_sound]

[There's a pretty miserable sniffle, but she just shakes her head.]

It's happened before, s-so...

[She'll be alright. Eventually.]

[Video]

[2cool4guardian]

There's nothing wrong with crying, Hibiki. You can do it if you feel like it. That or whatever helps to make you feel better. [Does she need him to punch someone? Because he will!]

[Video]

[horlogerie]

Oh... [He falls quiet a moment] ...Norman's gone too now?

[Its strange, now that it is people he sort of knew, people he recognized and spoke to, who are going away]

[Video]

[saving_sound]

M-mm. The people at the b-bank were supposed to give everything to me if he left, so...

Re: [Video]

[horlogerie]

I'm sorry, Hibiki.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

[ Oh gosh, a robot! That is so cool. ]

I can take it. Would love to take it, even. I'm not too late, am I?

[Video]

[saving_sound]

Um... Actually, someone else already did... I'm sorry, Doctor.

[And she really is! It looks like a lot of people turned out to be interested after all.]

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh.

[ He's definitely a little disappointed, but he can deal. ]

Who?
