fashionably_strong[Though she typically prefers video communication, Bulla deliberately selects voice. It's difficult to tell whether she sounds a little off because she's tired, depressed, or sick, but she's definitely not her usual upbeat and sociable self.]
Hi, everyone. I could use some suggestions for a distraction or three. Preferably something where you don't have to move around much.
[Truthfully, she's tired, depressed, and not feeling well, though it's due to an injury rather than illness. Her mother has vanished from Luceti, and she's recovering from the worst injury she's ever had in her life courtesy of a cultist.]
...and if you're suggesting reading, please suggest a specific book, because I've already read everything I have here in the house.

Date: 2013-08-18 09:03 pm (UTC)Board games. Go is a favorite of mine.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-18 09:43 pm (UTC)Do you want some company, Saori? I can't do much right now, but I could probably walk over and play a board game with you. I don't know how to play go, though.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-18 10:42 pm (UTC)I wouldn't mind. But, only if you're not straining yourself. Your father wouldn't approve, you know.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-19 02:41 am (UTC)[She'd recovered from that brutal training with her father within three days. This injury broke bone and went all the way her left shoulder, but at least it's the only area of her body that hurts now.]
It's only going to be a strain if I try running around, or lifting anything heavy. Dad wouldn't have left me home alone if I was too hurt to walk around and make myself easy meals.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-19 04:12 am (UTC)[She pauses, mulling over what to say...]
I hope everything's okay.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-20 01:29 am (UTC)I've been better.
[She'll tell Saori in private that her mother has been sent home.]
I'll be all right, though, and I'd be glad to have some company.
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-20 01:38 am (UTC)[And...she will?]
[Voice]
Date: 2013-08-20 01:40 am (UTC)[At this point, she's just glad she's right handed. Being left handed would make this suck just that much more.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-20 01:42 am (UTC)Hello Bulla.
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-22 01:00 am (UTC)Hi Saori. How are you doing?
[She doesn't know how long Saori's recovery time will be, but it doesn't hurt to ask more generally about her well being.]
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-22 05:11 am (UTC)I'm alright, just trying to enjoy the summer while it lasts. It's been such beautiful weather lately. How about you dear?
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-24 01:03 am (UTC)[If she wasn't such a cheerful person normally, she'd probably be writing terrible emo poetry right about now.]
I'm trying not to be depressed because Mom wouldn't want that, but...I can't help it. It's a lot to deal with.
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-25 05:21 pm (UTC)Your mother returning home is likely for the best. Better that than to have her deal with the Malnosso's experiments. She seemed like a nice woman, and I'm sure it's upsetting for you and your father, but at least she'll be spared ordeals like this.
[Then, swallowing, she goes on.]
And I'm sorry. About Neji.
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-27 09:49 am (UTC)Yeah...
[Though it won't spare her mother from the ordeals in their homeworld that she has yet to experience.]
It's okay...it hurt, but I'm not angry now. It's going to be pretty weird seeing him around town, though.
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-27 03:31 pm (UTC)It's strange for me too. He was my brother, in that false life.
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-29 02:34 am (UTC)[She feels guilty for it, too. How could she forget any family members or friends from back home?]
I'm glad you took out the creep responsible for this.
[Action]
Date: 2013-08-29 03:07 am (UTC)[She looks away, still feeling quite guilty about that]
I just did what any decent person would do. Fought with all my heart.
Action]
Date: 2013-08-30 09:41 am (UTC)Still, there are plenty of people who wouldn't have been able to fight someone like that at all. That jerk was pretty powerful.
[ Action]
Date: 2013-08-30 10:49 am (UTC)If I'd known I could fly, I'd have killed him from a mile away and spared myself the trouble.
[ Action]
Date: 2013-08-30 02:43 pm (UTC)[Although the idea of helping a friend really goes without saying, Bulla's mildly surprised at herself when she realizes she would actually fight instead of leaving it all to her father.]
...assuming it happened before the thing with the cultists. I wasn't in any condition to help anyone after that.
[On the plus side, she'd protected him, and he'd unleashed some super-Saiyan whupass on the cultists.]
[ Action]
Date: 2013-08-30 06:26 pm (UTC)Well, it's alright. It happened after that, I know. I ran into your father during the fighting. And I'll tell you what I told him, it wouldn't have been a fair fight.
[ Action]
Date: 2013-08-31 11:19 pm (UTC)[In fact, everyone else had to live with more lasting effects, while the one responsible for all of this wasn't amongst the living, period.]
[ Action]
Date: 2013-09-02 05:45 am (UTC)[Frankly, Saori was happy to have it be a duel. In a warped sense, it was more satisfying that way. Moralizing is just a means to justify it.]
[ Action]
Date: 2013-09-04 02:22 am (UTC)To be fair, fighting him directly in a two or three on one fight after he messed with the heads of just about everyone here for no good reason is still pretty far from acting like him. We'd be no better than him if we pretended to be on his side and then sneak attacked him from behind.
[ Action]
Date: 2013-09-04 06:01 am (UTC)And if I told you that was just the justification I used to make your father feel better, would you believe me? I was happy for a duel. That's the way of my people.
