Soft Mirrors

[Lady Violet]

"Set, will you take us to the hospital?" I ask.

I walk towards my office door, carrying Varsha in my arms

[Set]

"Yes, I can escort you two to the base's infirmary. Follow me."

I walk the two of them out of her office, and head to the infirmary.

"This should not be difficult to treat, but your office still needs to be quarantined..."

We arrive shortly afterwards, and I tell the doctors what happened. They say that there should be no problem in treatment of the both of them.

[Matsumura]

"But why? She is a peaceful woman. She has not attacked you, nor does she mean any threat to you as a person. Why must you keep such a creature as your prisoner?" asks Matsumura, fallen on the ground.

"Fine..... you win. I'm sorry Simona. I only hope you can forgive me for my cowardace," says Matsumura, lying on the ground. He uses his mental search to find Lady Violet and Varsha in trouble.

"Oh no, they're infected," says Matsumura as he puts up his barrier and teleports to see them. When he arrives, he sees Lady Violet and Varsha in the infirmary and an unknown man is standing with them.

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! What happened to her!? How did this happen!? NOOOOOO!!!!!!" cries Matsumura, with his barrier up to keep him from being infected.

[Gregory: The Storm Raven]

The energy builds for a few moments... and then Gregory snaps his fingers open, the light leaping from his hand to NiLato's chest, to her Suisho, her soul.

The energy of the earth, Gregory's chi, begins to sever the ties of the Suisho to the heavens and reform them to the earth. Of course, it's not a pleasant process.

"The pain will pass shortly. You well feel weak for a time after this is done."

[Lady Violet]

We are both treated with Cipro, which we seemingly must take heavy doses of. Otherwise, beyond the scare, it seems everything will be okay.

"I think I will go home for the afternoon. Thank you Set for all of your help. We will investigate who did this, though I have my suspicions it was related to the anarchists."

I sigh, and tuck the medicine into my purse.

"If you would like, you may stay once again with Hikari to see that she is safe."

I turn to Mat

"You may come along as well."

[NiLato]

Nilato draws in a breath as the light leaps to her. She bites her bottom lip closing her eyes. The pain was tense, but she supposes it could feel worse.

[Set]

"Certainly, my lady."

I bow.

"I will be forging myself another weapon before the night is over, and then I will retire at your house for the evening."

I take my leave.

[Lady Violet]

I walk everyone back to my home, and take a seat in my living room

I feel very tense, and need to make some calls

I call Mr Futsu first:

"I need you to dispute the information leaked to the media about any romantic involvements of mine, you must also blame the destruction of the rebel base on a natural disaster, as well as warn the public of anthrax demonizing the anarchists while assuring the public of my good health. Lastly, you must also refute the prison abuse situation, lest I get in trouble with Lin-Sat. I hope you can handle all that. I trust that you can."

I take off my shoes and look at Set.

"You are very loyal and I thank you for your help."

[Matsumura]

(Put this between Set and Violet's last posts)

"It would be my pleasure," says Matsumura as he too bows. While Matsumura obeys Keitoleinen because Keitoleinen is a powerful man, Matsumura respects Lady Violet. Her manner of dealing with problems seems most fitting. She reminds him of an old friend of his named Shingen Takeda.

Matsumura looks at Varsha and smiles.

[Gregory: The Storm Raven]

Gregory waves his hand and the energy jumps back to him. It was his energy after all, she was just borrowing it for a moment.

"The process is simple. A sample of energy from an angel who has already reconnected themselves will rewrite the connections of another angel."

Gregory lays a hand on her shoulder. "How do you feel?"

[NiLato]

"Well.. i feel tired." Nilato says opening her eyes and looking at Geogory. She did feel tired, and also happy. She hadn't felt happy in a long time.

[Set]

"It is my duty to protect you, my lady. It is no trouble of mine."

I sit down on the couch.

"I am certain that the only ones who would have the audacity to attempt such a stunt would be the anarchists. Although It is alarming that something such as anthrax was able to slip through undetected."

[Lady Violet]

"Indeed, all of my mail is inspected before I recieve it. Someone else is either in on this, or wanted me to recieve that letter. I assume it is the Bloody Violets once again."

I look at Matsumara.

"Make yourself comfortable. Help yourself to anything in my pantry."

[Gregory: The Storm Raven]

"Good. That means it worked." He lets go of her shoulder and looks around. "We should leave. I have a dwelling nearby. Angel, NiLato, NiHato, your all welcome to rest there before you continue on."

[NiLato]

Nilato crosses her arms loosely and nods. She glaces at Angel and NiHato wondering if they'll come. Right now all she wanted to do was sit or lay down.
