Infiltration Plans

[tohko_amano]

Characters: Tohko Amano, whoever she asked to show up, and any random person who feels like possibly dying for a good cause.
Setting: Floor 11, 28th, early evening.
Format: I'm starting in prose, but I'll match you.
Summary: Tohko, after getting Dax's note, has sent out a few notes of her own and told people to show up here to discuss plans. How well these plans will go is anyone's guess.
Warnings: If people like Ganon or Sephiroth try to show up, there will be arguments and scuffles to chase them out. I don't think that'll happen though.

It was cold in the eleventh floor, and the water was frozen, which made standing a little difficult. However, Tohko didn't think anyone would come in here, due to how cold it was..which was why she had told people to meet her here to discuss things.

She had sent out notes and tried to get other people involved. All she could do now was sit on the cold floor and wait for people to show up before starting to form plans. She had never been a leader of a fighting group..but there was a first time for everything.

Especially now.

[Something flicks across his eyes for a moment. Is she really telling him heroes don't always win? Of course, he knows that! Could she really say he had won in the end?

Diarmuid doesn't say anything though, pushing the flare of emotion away as quickly as it came. This is Tohko after all. He knows she doesn't mean anything. He's just so worn out that he's finding insult where none is intended.]

It's good to think ahead, but sometimes that can cause trouble too. Why don't we let things go for now. Find out more about who wants to help and talk to your friend. Just keep an eye on yourself. If you overwork yourself now, it will mean mistakes later when we can't afford to have them.

[Tohko didn't mean to insult her friend. She was just pointing out something she knew from reading and not thinking about how to say it gently to those around her.

..Tohko couldn't really say that anyone in the Tower had 'won' in the end. They were still fighting, after all.]

..I probably will talk to him later and see if he's interested in helping. And don't worry, I won't overwork myself. If I stop working and take a break, I'll give myself too much time to brood and slip into despair again. I can't help anyone in that state.

[Yes, Tohko was converting all her sad energy and trying to make it something positive. It's good that Kyubey couldn't contract anyone here, or she would be prime Meguca bait.]

[Worry enters into Diarmuid's eyes when she mentions falling into despair.]

Are you okay? Do you want to talk? I know there is so much going on...

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed, but she kept smiling.]

I don't think anyone is really okay right now..but I'll be okay, in the end. Just a large of large weights and rug-pulling. I'll be alright. How about you? How are you holding up?

[oathshackledbird]

[Diarmuid reaches out and squeezes her shoulder comfortingly.]

You're right. No one is probably okay here right now. We are just doing the best we can to keep moving forward. I'm...moving forward.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko paused for a moment at the shoulder-squeeze, but it was appreciated. She nodded and tried to pat him on the shoulder.]

That's good..I'm glad to hear that. If you have any trouble, I can give you a good story to keep keep you running.

[oathshackledbird]

Thank you.

[Secretly, Diarmuid is glad she doesn't ask him any more questions about his own state. He doesn't want to distract her from more important things, especially since he is the only one who can fix himself.

He bows to her.]

There are several others drifting in now. I will let you go and talk to them. You know where to find me if you need anything. Please, be careful.

[tohko_amano]

You're welcome.

[While Tohko wouldn't believe that he was the only one who could heal himself, she wasn't going to press about things that he didn't want to talk about. She was slowly learning to not be nosy.

Slowly. Tohko nodded her head in response.]

Alright then. Thank you..and don't worry, I'll be careful. If you ever need my help with anything, let me know. Good luck.
