"Hi! You've reached the voicemail of Usagi, Usagi Tsukino! I'm probably out at the arcade or eating cake, so.. just leave a message, okay? I'll call you back later, I promise!"

voice message

[justforyou]

I told Oriko about my wish. Thought you should know.

[This is the most tired, flattest voice ever. At least it's sincere.]

[selene]

[ .. Oh. When she hears the tone in that voice, she makes a surprised face not unlike the one in the talksprite above.. did the talk not go well? She doesn't sound happy, after all-- so Usagi calls back as quickly as she can. ]

Kirika-chan, are you okay?! How did it go?

[justforyou]

I don't know.

[What question is she answering? Both.]

It's like she closed up on me. Like I'm a stranger.

[selene]

Really.. [ .. hmm, well, at least it doesn't mean Oriko got really mad at her or something, so it's a start, right..? ]

Hey.. um, can you maybe come over here? Mama just bought snacks the other day, and I always eat a lot so I'm sure she won't mind if you come to help me eat them! And it'd be nice to spend some time away from there now, right?

[justforyou]

If Oriko let's me, I guess I could...

[Kirika sighs over the phone. She really doesn't want to argue with Usagi right now.]

[selene]

Y-you don't have to come if you don't want to, you know! [ Since she notices that trailing off at the end and the sigh, making her spazz out a little again. ] I just thought it might be nice to get your mind off all of those things!

[justforyou]

I really appreciate it, Usagi. I just need some time to think about things and I'm not sure Oriko would like it if I left right now.

[selene]

H.. hmm. [ There's a different tone in her voice. Disappointment, or maybe worry, who knows, but she quickly tries to smile after it, even if it's a little forced. ]

That's fine, Kirika-chan! You should do whatever you think is the best!

[justforyou]

If I can get away for a while, I will, okay? [...Kirika sounds apologetic. Almost trying to make up for what she just said.]

But I'll be okay, Usagi. We'll have all kinds of sweets.

[selene]

Hehe, yes. [ The tone still lingers in her voice. Usagi likes to think she can cover up her emotions well when she.. well, really can't at all in the end. ] I'm sure they'll all be really yummy. I'll probably eat so much that I'll have a stomach ache right after..

[justforyou]

Hey, don't be sad. It'll be great. All the sweets! All of them. Because we're the Sailor Busters, remember?

[No sad Usagi. Sad Usagi isn't allowed.]

[selene]

Yes, that means we're a team.. b-but that's why I also have to help you out, you know? Because we're teammates.

[justforyou]

You're helping me a lot by just listening to me, okay? I promise I'll come over real soon.

[selene]

You can always come over whenever you want, Kirika-chan.. I mean, you're welcome wheenver, so whenever you can and want to, just come over, okay? I'll be waiting no matter when.

[justforyou]

I will, okay? I promise. We're a team so...

[selene]

We're a team, so we can tell each other anything! Hmm, I know. [ She's smiling, but.. who knows.. ]

Good luck, Kirika-chan.

[justforyou]

Thanks. I really hope you find that crystal.

[It's...not quite the right thing to say but she hopes the sentiment is there.]

[selene]

A-.. ah, that's right! I should probably get on that now! [ Even though it's evening in her world, but she's lying through her teeth.. and not too convincingly so, Usagi isn't built to lie. ]

I'll talk to you later!

voice

[justforyou]

[This message is a little rushed.]

Usagi, I need you to talk to Oriko for me!

voice

[selene]

[ .. Well, that's not something she suddenly expected to get.. but when she hears just how rushed it's said, she's quick to reply. ]

Talk to her? About what? [ Of course Usagi's first instinct is-- ] Does she need someone to help her?!

voice

[justforyou]

I need someone to help me!

[Yep, not calming down.]

She has my soul gem!

[selene]

... Eh..? [ For a moment she's just struck with silence. Oriko has Kirika's Soul Gem.. but why? If she's so panicked, it can't be for any good reason. Sure, she'd immediately go talk to Oriko, but-- ]

A.. are you alright, Kirika-chan?! [ She has to make sure of that first. ]

[justforyou]

Y...yeah. I am... I kind of did give it to her but... sheesh. I kind of want to do more than just stay in the house...

[Not mentioning why Oriko was given the gem, though...]

[selene]

[ KIRIKA, YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT MORE CONFUSING.. what's she supposed to do with all this worrying half-information?! ]

You shouldn't just give away something that important, even if it's to a friend..! Isn't that dangerous?!

[justforyou]

Well, she asked!

[selene]

.. Did she say why she needed it?

[ Oriko didn't seem like a bad person to her, so it can't be for something bad, it's just.. surprising. ]

[justforyou]

No...

[Probably to keep her in one spot but like Kirika's going to admit that...]

[selene]

Hmm.. well, it's fine, Kirika-chan! I'll contact her now to ask her about it, okay? So just hang in there right now! I'll solve it for sure, don't worry!

[justforyou]

Thanks, Usagi.
