8th Card [Video/Action for Otherhouse]

[notakaijuu]

[ The feed turns on to... darkness? All that's visible is, occasionally, the blur of something orange or brown. When she speaks, Sakura's voice is slightly muffled, but still audible. ]

Do you- [ She breaks off. There's a low whining sound, like that of a dog, from somewhere close by. ] Do you guys have somebody that you love more than anybody else? Like, a person you love the most? Who's your number one person?

[ The feed movies, and Sakura's voice becomes a little bit more muffled. ]

And, if you do, are they here with you? Or are they at home? Do you miss them? [ She goes quiet for several long moments. Then, without warning, the feed goes off.

To those at the Otherhouse who would like to find Sakura, she's out near the garden, sitting hidden and squished between a very large Ursaring and a very large Arcanine. ]

[All of Cecil's parental and protective instincts have been activated.]

My wife was here, for some time. She left a few months ago, and I've missed her every day since then.

[video]

[notakaijuu]

[ This time, Sakura's face is visible, although the lighting appears to be terrible in quality. It's still clear, though, that she's not wearing her usual bright smile. ]

Did you cherish the time she was here?

[her_mouse_jesty]

I have a special someone, and they're hopefully at home.

[She smiles sadly, taking a good guess.]

Are you missing someone, dear?

[notakaijuu]

[ The lighting is better when she responds. Now it's clear that she's sitting between to masses of fur. Her voice is clearer, and his face is visible. ]

I am. [ She rests her head against the mass of orange beside her. The mass makes a whining noise. ] I'm missing a lot of people. I wish I could bring them all here with me.

[video]

[quickattackjack]

My special someone is at home. I miss them very much.

[video]

[notakaijuu]

I'm sorry. [ A soft sniffle and another low whining noise. ] If you could, would you bring them here?

[usedshooshpap]

MY MOIRAIL ISN'T HERE.
BUT MY MATESPRIT DIDN'T BECOME MY MATESPRIT UNTIL I CAME HERE SO.
IT'S KIND OF HALF AND HALF.

[notakaijuu]

oh. [ Not sure what half those things mean, but okay! She understood the last part. ] would you rather go home or stay here then?

[vulpesvivus]

Yeah, I have someone like that here.

What about you?

[notakaijuu]

my number one person's at home. well, kind of at home. he's back in my world, but he's in hong kong, not japan.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

...I don't have a number one person, but my friends and teacher used to be here for a time.

[Video]

[notakaijuu]

I wish my friends could be here with me. And I wish your friends could be here with you, too. Then we could all be really happy.

[Video]

[killer_sweets]

...I have two people like that I guess, but neither of them are here.

[Video]

[notakaijuu]

I'm sorry. If you could bring them here, would you?

[video]

[springoflife]

... He's not here. [Straight to the point.]

[video]

[notakaijuu]

Neither is mine. [ A soft sniffle. ] Would you bring him here if you could?

[comeatmibro]

[ Miyuki's not really good at crying people. She waffles about going outside to find Sakura for a bit, but eventually settles on a tentative video response. ]

Hey... you wanna go out for ice cream or something? Or like... a burger? My treat.

video;

[notakaijuu]

[ When Sakura eventually replies, she looks a tad bit happier. She's visible this time, and she's smiling. There's a mass of brown on one side of her, and a mass of orange on the other side, as well as behind her. ]

Thanks, Miyuki-chan. I'll be inside in a second. I just- [ She wiggles, stretching her arms up so the feed spins to the sky. There's a moment of soft grunting before the feed moves abruptly back to her face, which looks apologetic. ] Um.

[audio]

[extraordinarily]

... That idiot's not here. He was here before, but he's gone now.

[audio]

[notakaijuu]

Oh. I'm sorry. I bet you miss him a lot.

[the_whitequeen]

[ This topic hurts too much for her, but somehow --- she did manage to speak as honestly as she could manage. ]

Yes ... I do. There is not a day I do not miss him.

[ And with Valentines approaching soon, she is reminded of his not being here every day. ]

video;

[notakaijuu]

I miss my number one person, too. I wish he could be here so I could show him this place. I think he'd like it a lot. [ A soft sniffle. ] How long have you gone without him?

[video]

[crimsondirge]

...I have someone like that. [Naoto flushes faintly at the mere thought; the idea still new to her.] They're here, with me, but I was gone for a long time.

[video]

[notakaijuu]

I'm glad you can be with your number one person. But what do you mean by being gone for a long time?

video.

[miniworth]

I have a few people.

One of them I can't see anymore, but there are people I've met here who are very dear to me.

video.

[notakaijuu]

You can't see anymore? Why not? [ A pause. ] I've met a lot of people here, too. And they're all very important to me.

[hououji]

I find that missing the people you love is a little easier when you think of all the stories you'll be able to tell them when you meet again.

I have not seen the person I love in nearly a year... but there is nearly a year's worth of things to talk about when I see him again.

[notakaijuu]

Oh. [ She hadn't thought of it that way. ] That makes sense. There's a lot of things I'll be able to tell Syaoran-kun about when I see him.

[doesactivities]

Uh, how do you define 'most special?' I mean, I love my sister and we've been through everything together, but I miss my girlfriend, especially since we just got to see each other again after a long time...

Why? What's got you thinking about it?

video;

[notakaijuu]

Just... somebody that you really, really care about. Someone that helps you when you need it, who makes you feel brave. Someone who likes you as much as you like them. It can be your sister, or your dad, or your friend.

I just... really miss my special someone. And the rest of my friends at home, I guess.

video;

[skirtchases]

Yeah, I have someone I like the most, but she's not here with me. She's still at home.

[He looks sad for a few moments, before shaking it off.]

Something wrong? Why do you ask?

video;

[notakaijuu]

I'm sorry. My number one person is at home, too. I just really miss him. I wish he could be here.

[video]

[trailweblaze]

... the one I hold dearest is here in Johto with me, and I consider myself very lucky.

Why do you ask?

[video]

[notakaijuu]

You are very lucky. [ She shifts the 'Gear so that her face is somewhat visible. ] I hope you're having a lot of fun with her. [ She's just assuming here. ]

Because... I miss my special person. I haven't gotten to see them in a long time. And I wish I could show him all of the amazing things here.

[Action]

[pianokeys]

[He had been looking through the 'gear in the kitchen when he had found this post, and had quickly decided that he was going to go and see if she was about the house.

 

When he finds her, he approaches Sakura with one of his usual, day-brightening smiles, remembering to make sure to be careful with his words when on this subject...]

 

I miss your Other Mother e~veryday, Sakura, but it doesn't mean that I love her more than all my beautiful kiddos, does it?

 

And we're all gonna see our loved ones again, one day- 'least that's what they say happens when you go home. 

[Action]

[notakaijuu]

[ Sakura wiggles her way out from between her Ursaring and Arcanine. It appears she's gotten past the crying part and now she's just a little bit sniffly. ]

Do you wish you could bring Other Mother here? Or would you rather go back home and see her?
