*Ciri finishes her bowl, and begins washing the dishes.*

Ciri: Thanks again love...

It's no problem!
*Taeria skips over and gives Ciri a kiss on the cheek*
I-I think I want to start a garden... you like tomatoes right? I'll plant some tomato seeds!
*Begins to removed the pot from the stove but has a bit of trouble*
Curses... my size can be a bother at times!
*Laughs a little and continues trying to moved the pot off of the stove*

*Maiev blinks into the kitchen, helps Taeria with the pot and grabs a bowl of soup*

Maiev: Thanks. Smells good.

*Blinks away again*

*Smiles and sighs in relief*
Thank you!!
*Doesnt take any soup for herself*
{{Vitani: I have a cute outfit for us in the closet }}

*I walk into the kitchen*
Hey Taeria! How are you feeling today?
*looks surprisingly good in a tank top and uniform pants*

Hey there! I'm doing well! You look awesome! Well.. you always do! But you're rocking the tank top and pants!
*Smiling happily*
How was your day?

Just fine. Spent most of the day holding the hair of hungover Marines, but other than that it was rather relaxing

Ciri: Tomoatoes sound wonderful, love..

*Is about to help with the pot, but is beaten by Maiev.*

*Ciri watches Taeria with loving eyes, and drinks her water.*

*Lightens up*
Have some soup! You must be hungry!
*Quickly gets a bowl and fills it with hot soup*
Here you go

*Maiev blinks back into the hot-spring area thing and takes off armour again*

*Slips out of undergarments also and hops into the water*

*Breathes out in relief and slowly slithers down*

[Kimmy raises hands to signal another entry into Benny's mind]

[This time the group find themselves on a parade ground]

++[ This will not end well. You're making Benny unhappy ]++

{{ Remember how good we were at belly dancing? }}
*Taeria Blushes and laughs a little to herself from listening to Vitani*

*I take the soup and sip it slowly*
Just what the doctor ordered!

*Ciri raises a eyebrow at Taeria's laugh.*

Ciri to Taeria: What's so funny?

*Looks around*

This doesn't seem so bad...

*Smiles with joy*
I'm glad!
I'm going to go check on something... I'll be right back!
*Goes to the bedroom and looks into the closet*
VITANI!
*starts bursting out in laughter*
*Belly dancing outfits, maid outfits, puppy ears, and other questionable clothing items fall out*
Haha! Noooo!
*Laughing and picking up all of the outfits and putting them back*
{{Vitani: Yessssss...}}

[A large assembly oh commissar cadets, scions and young sisters of battle are gathered in ranks, receiving individual graduation awards] [A crowd is watching from a nearby secured area]

*Hides the embarrassing outfits quickly*
oh my goodness! Vitani I don't know what kind of thing you were involved in..
*Laughing to self a bit *

*I see Taeria run out of the kitchen*
That was odd.

{{ Vitani: Just try one on. They're all super cute.}}
oh...a-alright..
*Tries on a short little maid dress and high socks*
I-It's cute!
*Blushing wildly to herself*

*Watches the ceremony*
Hmm... Can I go through these barriers?

*Cal looks around the parade grounds*
Cal: Yeah, this isn't anything like before... It's rather nice all things considered and this being the Imperium and all

*Nicholas comes out of the medbay being supported heavily by Perenelle on one side and a sturdy cane on the other. The pair walk over to the couch and Nicholas collapses on it breathing hard.*
Perenelle: Are you sure this is wise?
Nicholas: It is needed if I am to keep my sanity! I can't stand lying around doing nothing! At least here I can socialize with the room in general!
*Looking glad to be out of the hospital*

[Yarrick nods] I think we can still move around. Be careful at the fringes of the memory, as there's nothing holding the edges together. You may end up lost in Benny's subconscious.
[Nudges Amelia] Recognise anyone?

[Yarrick age 40 or so, is stood in the crowd, out of uniform and leaning on a railing at the back] [He's smiling faintly and watching a small group of similar-aged commissars] [Nobody seems to recognise him]

[In the group of cadets, a very young commissar Benny is covertly holding a sister's hand]

*Gets out of the dress and gets changed into regular clothes and comes back out and into the kitchen*
back! Sorry for the wait!

Ciri: No problem love. Was Vitani giving you a hard time?

*smiles at Taeria*

No.. she was giving me quite the laugh though!
*Taeria smiles *
You'll have to come take a l- *Sneezes*
Ahhhchu~♡
*Grumpy face*
darn allergies..

*Smiles*

Yes, I think I do.

*Looks around*

I...I can't see anything that looks misplaced...

*Cal looks around further feeling more at ease than before.*

*Huitz introduces Nicholas and Perenelle to Remus*

*looks around and nods*

Ceremonies, they are a big deal, even in my own culture. Perhaps an anomaly will show itself soon. Or at least become more apparent.


*Santiago puts his arms around Joalia*

Santi: (We are in this together. We'll figure out what is doing you harm.)

*Santiago reaches into Joalia's mind for memories*

Hm..
[The ceremony starts to draw to a close] [As the cadets leave the podium, Benny goes down on one knee, still holding the young woman's hand]

[Yarrick turns way, and examines the crowd watching the event] There! [Points and whispers]
