[Mistress Guendolen]

OOC: All you have to do is make an indirect Monty Python reference by saying, "I'm not unconscious yet!... I'm feeling much better now!" With an English accent, of course.

[Mitera Nikkou]

(OOC: I had thought of that, but it didn't look like it would work since I'm questioning my new unconscious status. XD)

[Mistress Guendolen]

OOC: I didn't mean you were required to say it in-character. You can just wave and say it to us as a whole, if you like. As a friendly reminder, you know?

[Chibi MitchellTF]

(This Tetsuo you sold me is KOed. It's an Ex-Tetsuo. It's bought the farm!)

Neko gulps. "Yeah, but Tetsuo sacrificed herself to stop Genno and Teacher's Pet from fighting, and making a new world, is what I was made for. People have told me it was wrong, and I think they might be right, but I want to stay with the one I love, and this is what I was DESIGNED for." Her voice is full of regret, and clearly conflicted.

Catnip says nothing, unsure of what to say. We made her, and she is going to willingfully fulfill her purpose? But, somehow, the regret in her voice...

[Mistress Guendolen]

Elise bowed her head a little. "Stay with the one you love? Well... I- can't exactly argue with that, given circumstances...." She gave Genno a sidelong look, suddenly feeling shy again. "But... this whole 'plan' thing.... you're really going to help them with it? I- I don't want to have to fight you as well!"

[Teddy]

"I'm with her... Fighting you isn't what I want. Especially in my current condition... But, if it gets to that point..." Genno sighs, rubbing one of his wounded shoulders, preparing for his almost certain monologue to come.

[Mitera Nikkou]

(OOC: Well, I'll just have to replace it, then. ;p Can Tetsuo not be unconscious? XD I have such a good in-character response, too... Y.Y)

[Mistress Guendolen]

OOC: Why don't you just "wake up" and have been lying there quietly, then? Very easy to do.

IC: Elise took a step on front of Genno. "No, you're already hurt. If anyone has to fight, it'll be me. I..." She swallowed. "I just don't want to see you hurt any more...." And I'm so glad that paramedic gave me his card.... He's getting a call as soon as we're off this thing.

[Mitera Nikkou]

(OOC: That's because Mitchell's the OP, and being unconscious just seemed so sudden. Usually, I'd expect something more than just "and unconscious." So I'm making sure.)

[Chibi MitchellTF]

(D'OH! I typoed. Tetsuo shouldn't be unconscious, just not really doing anything. Sorry. Tetsuo is capable of saying things, and in fact should.)

Neko smiles, "Don't worry. I'm not sure if I'll help in the way that would require fighting. If I have to do what my part is, then it's already too late anyway."

Catnip nods to herself, and makes a decision. "I'll tell you what. You beat Teacher's Pet, and didn't set the blimp on fire. That's impressive enough that I'll let you go. I'll free Rose and Scientia in an hour or two, so you should be uncontested if you escape."

Neko looks at Tetsuo, her heart resting on her decision. She didn't know what choice to make, or rather, she knew which one she believed was right for who she'd become. She wanted to see this world, the way it was, before she judged it. But she wanted to be with Tetsuo much, much more.

[Teddy]

"And what if you all decide to create a 'new world' order? What then?" He coughed, and leaned on Elise's shoulder. "Do you expect us to just stand by and watch?"

[Mistress Guendolen]

Elise slipped an arm around Genno's waist, as much a sign of mental support as a way to subtly lend him aid. "He's got a point. I don't know what the plan is, but you always implied it wouldn't be good for anyone except those planning it. Are we expected to stand by and allow this? Just so we don't have to oppose someone considered a friend?"

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo managed to tug on Neko's arm (a sleeve, if there is one), wincing a bit at her own movements.

"Don't stay for my sake..." She said, softly. "I'll... I'll see you once I recover..."

[Chibi MitchellTF]

Catnip blushes. "Yeah, um, Teacher's Pet needs to get over some childhood issues, but she's a great person to have watching your back, since she'll protect her friends with all her might."

Neko sees Tetsuo's tug, but grimaces. She leans down to whisper. "If I go...I will have to fight YOU. If you stay, you'll be a front-liner when you get better!"

[Mitera Nikkou]

Tetsuo gave a slight smile, and whispered back.

"I'll be fine." She said. "Just go... I'll see you later, promise."
