[YUNA]

[private conversations for [personal profile] cherrypuncher for [community profile] robowest]
cherrypuncher: (it's not too late)

You really like it?! [Look at Yuna's eyes shine!!] I'm so glad!

[But of course the good times cannot keep rolling, and Yuna pauses, processing the question—and goes right to frantic distress from there.]

Ev-everything?! [and then she just starts rapidfire blurting,] My opinion on cats is that they're cute, and my opinion on dogs is that they're cute, and my opinion on stir-fry is that it's really good, and my opinion on you is that you're nice and a good roommate, and my opinion on cowboy hats is that they're cool in their own weird way, and my—

[...no, yuna]
cherrypuncher: (when they fade into the dust)

...on botamochi is tha—aaaahh, of course you're cute, I just thought maybe you wouldn't like being called cute because you're a grownup?! But you have really nice hair and I like that shiny necklace you wear, you have good taste!

[oh my god you two]
cherrypuncher: (with no one to aid you)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-17 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[BIG HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF] Oh, good! I'm really glad you think so...

[back to business:] —anyway, my opinion on botamochi is that it's really good but it's best if my friend Togo makes it, and my opinion on Togo is that she's beautiful and kind and an amazing friend, and my opinion on jazz music is that it kind of makes me sleepy, and my opinion on trees depends on the kind of tree but they're really good overall, and my opinion on pants is that they were a good idea, and my...

[help her]
cherrypuncher: (we could be friends)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-01-17 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[She's got this look of realization striking her over the pants comment.]

That's a good point...

[But okay, no, serious business!!! And Yuna sobers up surprisingly quickly for someone who just lost her shit over word choices and botamochi.]

Of course it's pretty scary. I don't want anyone to get hurt, and I want to go home. But when we first got here, people kept asking me why I wanted to meet everybody. I told them that we're all in the same boat here. We're all away from home in a scary place and a scary situation, and that's why it's important that we stay together.

[She touches a hand to her chest, smiling.]

I think that now, too! If we work together and take care of each other, it's going to be okay.

...I think that covers everything!

cherrypuncher: (you will float above)

[It doesn't even matter if she's going anywhere with it or not, Milla can do whatever she want and Yuna will not question it.]

I do! [And she's already starting to crawl under the bed to fetch it.]
cherrypuncher: (oh despite the distance)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-07 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuna frowns when she sets the bear trap on her bed, but there's a thoughtfulness to it; when the three of them found the trap, they considered that, but couldn't find a way to implement it. Yuna won't dismiss Milla out of hand, though.]

How would we do that?
cherrypuncher: (we'll put up such a fight)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-07 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
We thought about that, but it made us worried. [It sure is tough when even Yuna doesn't immediately jump to the bright side.] Since there's no way for us to know for sure, it would be really easy for someone who doesn't mean to do anything wrong to get hurt...
cherrypuncher: (you'll never find me gone)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-07 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuna pauses—she hadn't really wanted to bring this bit up, she hoped that the risk would be enough to make Milla reconsider before she had to mention this, but...]

There's...one other thing I'm worried about. [pppause.] Not just one, I guess, but... [She tilts her head, sighs.] If we set the trap, and someone gets caught in it, it'll probably happen really late at night, and they'll probably be all by themselves. If someone bleeds that much and there's no one there to help them... [Her voice has been soft as she speaks, but it wavers here.] ...they'll probably die.

If someone dies because of a trap we set...no matter who it was, or what it was for, even if we're only thinking in terms of the rules here...that means we killed them, doesn't it?
cherrypuncher: (into the ways we could be friends)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Yuna's back in her room awfully late, especially for her, and as soon as she's through the door and she sees Milla she gets as far as,] Hey, Mill— [but Milla beats her to it. Smiling, Yuna takes a seat on her bed.]

Okay. Yeah, you first.
cherrypuncher: (i will raise my flagpole)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-16 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[Her answer is immediate, of course.]

If that's what it takes to keep them from being alone, then I will.
cherrypuncher: (i'll send a storm)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-16 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns pretty mightily at that, but she does understand where Milla's coming from... Still, she can't help but object.]

Mine weren't as bad as yours were in the first place, though, and even though everyone got so scared, I don't think they were ever that bad at all... [They were PRETTY BAD but like, she fistfought the sun once, her standards are in a weird place.] They're feeling much better now, too! I promise I won't go by myself this time, but I can't stay inside.
cherrypuncher: (they're marching clear and swift)

[personal profile] cherrypuncher 2017-02-16 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't answer this quite so immediately—not out of uncertainty, but because she wants to think this over, wants to be completely and utterly certain before she makes a promise she can't keep.]

I know I'm not in top condition right now. This isn't the worst I've ever been hurt, though, and this isn't the hardest I've ever had to fight.

[She says this slowly, carefully; there are secrets she's meant to keep and she still doesn't know how to best explain herself, but she would trust Milla with her whole universe. There's an intensity to her voice despite how soft her tone is.]

I won't go alone. If I don't, I can be sure whoever needs to be defended has enough strength with them to keep them safe. Even like this, though, I can still help, and I won't hold anyone back.
