S1.01: Commencement, Epilouge
Jun. 18th, 2015 09:06 amDaisuki entered the changing room singing their favorite hit from the dance floors, followed a moment later by Rui, who was nodding along to Daisuki's beautiful voice. Rui went off to their locker to get out of their skin suit, while Daisuki was changing from a tracksuit.
Both thought they were alone until Daisuki happened to glance into the showers and spotted Izana standing there idly rubbing a washcloth along their arm and staring off at nothing. The shower had long since timed out, or Izana had turned off the water. Daisuki really had no way of knowing and it didn't matter anyway.
"Izana?" They asked, concern growing. When Izana didn't reply, they dropped everything and ran to them. Grabbing Izana's arm, Daisuki felt how cold they were and called out to Rui, "Bring a towel!"
Izana barely reacted.
"Iza-chan, what's the matter? It's okay, We're here now." Daisuki soothed as she wrapped Izana in a hug, gently rubbing their arms to bring warmth back. Rui was quickly there with several towels and began to wrap Izana. Once Izana was covered, they lead them to a bench, each taking a side to get Izana warm. They had no idea how long Izana had been in the shower and were very worried.
Eventually, Izana blinked as if awaking and looked about. "Daisuki? Rui? When did you come in?"
"Oh, Iza-chan, you had us worried. We're been here holding you for several minutes now. What happened?"
"I..." Izana started to say but then remembered all Gauna encounters are classified. "I'm sorry, it's classified." They said, their voice still a bit withdrawn.
Daisuki and Rui both knew what that likely meant and both looked at each other in fear before turning their attention back to Izana. "No one is here and we promise not to gossip. Tell us."
Izana held their gaze for a solid minute before tears streamed down their cheek. "I didn't do anything to save her," they began and proceeded to outline the entire battle. "The worse thing is...the worse thing is, I'm happy it wasn't me." They whispered once they were done.
"Oh honey, of course you're happy to be alive. Come. Get dressed."
"What? Why?"
"We are going out to the entertainment district."
"That does not seem right." Izana said, more than a little scandalized.
"Silly Iza-chan, we are going to honor that bitch Yamano. I don't think any of us liked her very much, but she deserves a wake."
"DAISUKI!" Izana chastised.
"What? A very wise sage once said, 'The living deserve respect but the dead only truth'. Or something like that. Come on. Food first, than we'll see what we will find to give the proper Yamano all the respect we can give her."
"I don't need food. I ate the day before."
"Silly, Izana," Rui replied with a snort. "We will be drinking and that always works better with a solid foundation of food in your belly."
