video // action locked to the people at the volo dorms

[invoker]

[The feed begins and the image that appears on screen is that of a red headed woman, her normally fearsome demeanor tempered slightly by the haziness having been brought back to consciousness after a period of particularly deep sleep. Mitsuru takes a deep breath and starts speaking]

I apologise for anybody who was looking to get into contact with me, I fell asleep.

[That explanation would suffice for now. Surely the people who had been here long enough did not need more than that. She continues to address the network.]

Now that I have awakened, there are things that I need to tend to. Starting with the most mundane.

[Mitsuru's normally perfectly coiffured red hair is now longer and in need of attention.]

... I require assistance with my hair. It is longer than I would like and requires some tending to. Preferably at the hands of a professional. I would hope Vatheon has someone with those skills and are willing to assist me. Thank you.

[The feed ends.]

[Mitsuru's quietly sitting in the lounge of the dorms, slowly getting used to the idea of being awake. Being asleep for such long periods of time is something she could never ever manage and for now staying awake is a task in itself.

There's a full cup of tea on the table in front of her, untouched and undrunk. She prepared it just a moment ago so the steam is still rising steadily from it. All signs point to drinking that tea being a good idea but Mitsuru's simply choosing to look at it as if she were in a daze. She could tell many things had happened while she was asleep so she was going to wait to hear an explanation from someone she trusted.

For the time being, Mitsuru's just going to have a staring contest with her teacup, as if she'd be able to divine some knowledge from it. Just like the mystics, except she doubted that the mystics used earl grey. Not like she was expecting any actual knowledge from it, but rather it was a game she was going to play to get herself to stay awake.]

[invoker]

Perhaps so. It is very hard to tell.

[But that explanation seems totally plausible.]

Or judging from its sense of humour, it likes seeing people asleep.

[twiceinhabited]

Even it enjoys humour from time to time.

[What god figure doesn't?]

But I'm glad you're okay.

[invoker]

Thank you.

[She smiles, feeling a lot more at ease. She was grateful for the fact that Amane, who she thought as someone who kept to herself and not really one to be very social had some inkling of respect for her. Perhaps even something developing towards a friendship.]

How have things been with you? I am curious to know what I have missed in my absence.

[twiceinhabited]

[She's getting better at socialising. Not up to Yukari's level, but to anyone that know her old self, Amane improved a lot.]

Things have been doing fine, despite the...ill-natured April's Fool joke. But someone I know woke up from their sleep.

[Amane seems quite glad for it.]

[invoker]

Oh? Was it that friend of yours from your world you had mentioned? I know there are many people who had fallen prey to this curse but I'm sorry to hear that it happened to them.

[twiceinhabited]

Katsu? No, it's not him. [She would worry as much for him, if it's his turn.] It's someone else.

[invoker]

Someone important, perhaps?

[twiceinhabited]

[She smile, nodding.] Yes, he's important.
