I know you said do not die, bu-uuu-t... perhaps... mayhaps. I might have died. A little. A smidgeon. A tiny portion.
Slowly recovering.... I don't feel quite all... there. Not yet.
To quite my surprise, my friends found me - I thought I was well hidden. Fortunately, they had managed to helped me, I am not... not too sure what they did. But I am grateful for it. All I could remember is my strength draining away, trying to focus on who I was. The time dilation was so extreme, it felt the years had passed by, yet it was only a mere few weeks.
It was quite the... experience, I can't quite recommend it to anyone. Wearing your own blood isn't very fashionable these days.
All in all. It was worth it. Do you wish to know why?
How to tell you this now?
Ugh, guess I will just go ahead. You are an idiot, moron, baka, aho! I can't find any better words. Glad to hear from you again though.
How often do you plan to repeat almost dying? If I didn't know it any better, I would say you secretly enjoy risking your neck over and over again as your own warped interpretation of pleasure. Seems you were yet again saved by sheer luck, congratulations. When can I expect the next time you just wind up almost dead, in three weeks? Will your friends be there next time? Will I have to come to your rescue?
Whatever.. you are stubborn.. so yeah...
Time dilation though? And waking up basically drenched in your own blood? Just.. do I even.. no I do not think I will ask. Just tell me already what you think makes it so fun and worth it. It better be really worth something, else I should contact your friends and tell them to put you on a leash or something, for your own safety.
Oh! Yes! I won... I won... I ... forgot. What did I won? I won against an insurmountable odd... of... something. It was quite the accompolishment. I felt... stronger. I felt so liberated. As if something quite literally snapped within my head.
I rememebered it was truly humorous. And that I managed to get a mass of researchdata-aaa-aaa-aa--aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-aaa-oooohhhhhh
Ohh no...
The data.
I forgot about it!!!!!!
Oh... right... and I think I forgot to pass this on at one point, when I was studying the nearby star a few months back.
Sapphire.. race? I mean.. wonderful.. Uhh, are you okay?
What's with this data on the Bretonians.. I think this matter was addressed? Is there more? Did you just.. Sapphire.. eh.. take it out or something? I'm glad you.. had fun but that's going a bit far.. or so I hope. I hope it's that and not your health.. it is your health, right?
Where are you..? Message me back soon.. and that best not be a joke too.
No, nono, no. No. Forget about that. I can't waste anymore time. And, no, this data imagery was not sent previously, only the incidents in K-...Yu... Kyu...Shoo? There's much more important things to draw my attention to.
To that of which I would like to ask you out on a particular date.
Oh yes.
Escape the shackles of bureaucracy that weigh you down. Just for a night or two. Maybe even three. Join me as a sister in this competition, I will split the credit winnings, we shall be the Moon and the Sun. I even found us an endearing matching pair of incognito suits for our alter ego night out. We can have a lot of fun together, and I can get my data back.
What do you think? Interested in some character development between us both? I will even pay for the drinks. Do not worry about me, I have a solution for staying alive. Quite literally.
So it really was that? You have no shame.
First this and now you ask me out on a date out of all things? More so, racing? Seriously.. unexpected. If it wasn't for that data retrieval part, I would have asked you just how bored you are.. or if your behavior just earlier was to signal me something.
Good thinking on staying incognito.. I don't get why you can retrieve data by racing around in Dublin during this competition though. Screw it, I'm in.. but there will be conditions: I'm the Sun. You will tell me what this data is about and you will follow my acting during the competition, while I will follow your racing advice. You seem to know a thing or two about racing, for whatever reasons.
If I already have to reschedule things, we might as well make it fun. Oh and do not worry, one night, two nights, three nights, all good. So long as it does not exceed four, I can arrange it.
Perhaps it was that. No shame. But I did win. I ... cannot remember what. It felt significant to my well being for unknown purposes.
And... racing... No, I'd think it is more of a reactionary test to understand your limits. A fast flying test. A test of your self. Plus, it is good exercise. And I can get even more data for my flight data against the Nomads. Expect the unexpected. Chaos is a beautiful thing, and it can link everything together.
Ask for the data, well, I'm suspecting there might have been a certain someone who took something. It would be suspicious of me to approach them. Perhaps. Half of this is an excuse for me to spend time with you again.
Neheheh ... Of coure you wanted to be Sun. Fine. I will be the Moon. But my alterego personality won't speak until the end. What story are you going to make for your fictional character? What vessel are you going to temporarily loan? Should we fly similar craft?
Are you certain Kusari operatives won't follow? I suspect they will. Should be quite humorous for them.
I will leave it at the fact that "perhaps" means "yes" in this context.
Moving on, sure, reactionary test, flight skill improvement, a first step to become the best pilot Sirius ever saw. It all boils down to you not just having found an excuse to spend time with me but actually convincing me. I still do not get how exactly this all helps you with the data but so be it. I expect an agent or two to follow us around, perhaps more so due to the spacecrafts I already have in mind for us. At least for me, though I am not entirely sure yet.
Sun and Moon.. Sun and Moon. Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu. We're both worthy of calling ourselves goddesses after all, I'd say! At least I am, riiiiight? Right! I shall bestow you with a similar honor then, for a few days.
On to the story of our alteregos, hmm.. given you're not going to be very talkactive for obvious reasons.. what would you prefer, two sisters or a couple? Oh yes! Perhaps a real tearjerker about a couple, who also happens to be amateur racers seeking glory far away from home? They pop up everywhere across Sirius, seemingly at random. One never speaks during competitions, the other one actively tries to distract their adversaries all the time.
Oh, of course you would want to be my partner, phah. As for the backstory, your choice. I had something in mind to keep it ambiguous, keeps people entertained. A mysterious duet, hailing from far away... And come now, we need prounouncable names.
But fun. I can humor you with some mythology. There is of course, Luna and others. Or, hm... I suppose we could entertain your idea. Why Kusari though? You cannot hide your accent?
Mhmh.. hehe..Hey! I was merely brainstorming, alright. It doesn't have to be Kusarian.. so go ahead, you decide on the names! And the mystery background is exciting, just sprinkle a few rumors about the duet, are they lovers, siblings, two friends? Who knows! Perhaps they are the Queen and the Empress in disguise! Do you want to be the Empress? Oh, sorry, too late, I am already! You're now the Queen, age wise you're almost as ancient!
As for the ships, I would have 'borrowed' me a Naval Forces ship but given you want to shred us in true mystery, that's a big nope then. A classic of Dublin racers is a preferable choice then, an "Arrow".
