!!! ??? !!!

Who: Nemesis, Hurricane, you!
Where: ?Somewhere?
When: Day 496

[ The sound of an engine roars through the city, unfamiliar to any of you. What is that—? That thing, flying in the sky—Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or—

Is it a giant mech adorned with naginatas and a shield, flying through Tokyo-F at great speed? Is it Hurricane and Nemesis, coming to say their goodbyes? Or is it the sound of their departure. . . ? ]

Or super die again? Who knows!

...We better go inside if you got more questions. But--I mean, you don't gotta, if you don't want.
sangreine: happy (heehee)

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I want to? Come on.

[ She's not sure if she really has questions, but there's something to be said for not doing this in front of the cameras and everyone. ]

For the record, you'd better not die or I'll be pissed. [ She won't know, in so very many sense of the word. The sentiment remains true regardless. ]
unbr8kable: (now listen)

Hey, you won't be the only one!

[Waits until they are safely in Avante before saying anything with more content than that, though]

...So, yeah. Guess they're finally kicking us out. But the way we found out wasn't exactly official...and prolly the suit ain't an official graduation gift neither...so I dunno what's gonna happen, exactly.
sangreine: happy (but of course)

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Take everything that isn't nailed down. [ Her spite toward this place doesn't have quite the edge it usually might. ] You two deserve to ride off just like this.

...I'm sorry to see you going, though.
unbr8kable: (welp)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-08-29 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah... It's weird to think about it, after this long...

...Might not be the last time seeing each other, though. We'll be around--and hopefully be able to help you guys out.

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ By definition it is, but Aliza knows she shouldn't say it. ]

I hope not, then. But it still kinda sucks right this minute.
unbr8kable: (well hey you know)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-08-29 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...guess so.

I'm trying not to think about it too hard just yet. But I'll miss you.

[Stuffs her hands in her pockets]

You're really strong...both powerful, but also just--being honest with yourself. So I know you'll be able to hold things together here...so I know I shouldn't have to worry.
sangreine: intimate :: touch ([diva] warmth)

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Aliza isn't sure how true that 'honest with yourself' bit is now; the more comfort she gains with words, the less she tends to use them. But that's not really what matters here. ]

[ Taking a few steps forward then, and Nem's getting a hug whether she takes those hands out of her pockets or not. ]


You definitely don't have to worry.
unbr8kable: (aide)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-08-29 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Never to worry; once Alizarin gives this okay, Nemesis immediately winds her arms around Alizarin and squeezes tight. She is warm, and her pulse thrums under her skin]

Thanks.

...There anything I can do before I go?

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe just one thing.

[ Aliza reaches up to brush Nem's cheek with her fingertips and then -- grins. ]

You give away your bike, yet?
unbr8kable: (weeeeeeell)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-08-29 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
You interested?

For some reason I thought you already had a ride...though, can't imagine it's as sweet as mine.

[Grins back, nudging against her]
sangreine: happy (heehee)

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Hell yeah, I'm interested. I love that bike. What better way to remember you than zooming around corners at breakneck speed?

[ It's also a conveniently cheery topic! It would be wrong to be sad when there's a giant mecha outside waiting and someone she cares about is getting something close to the exit they deserve (she still is, there's time for it later). ]

And I'll take a kiss too, if you're giving stuff away.
unbr8kable: (welp)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-08-29 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, you got a point. The bike's down in the garage.

[Digs in her pocket to hand over the keys]

Never did put together that stunt show, but if you need some flaming hoops, we got those, too. If you wanna carry the torch of reckless driving...

[Her expression goes crooked, as if the weight of everything is finally beginning to hit her, though all she does is reinforce her smile]

...A-anyways, got a surplus of kisses left too, so you can have all you want.
sangreine: kiss :: touch :: intimate ([haji] passionate)

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-29 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Me, reckless? I don't know what you could possibly be thinking! [ Something entirely accurate, no doubt. ]

[ She pockets the keys, already liking the idea of riding the thing down to the bay. They had a nice chat that turned real bad down there, but what else is new? Things never stayed bad. ]
Thanks, I'll take good care of her. Unless there's a fun reason not to. [ She jests, really! ]

[ Watching Nem's expression shift is -- well, it's a lot of things, none of which Aliza cares to contemplate just now. There are better ways to spend these few minutes. ]


All the kisses I want? Dangerous prospect, but I'll start with one. C'mere.

[ That philosophy Aliza has about how the first kiss in a while should be a good one? Goes doubly for the last kiss in a while. (Or longer than a while.) If this is how Nem's going to remember her, she's damn well going to make the memory worth the price of admission. Maybe fog up those glasses one last time. All the things they're probably not going to say because they suck at talking, a good kiss is a much better way to say them anyway. ]

[The problem with words is that they're hard to say and even harder to make come out correctly. Actions are so much easier...especially pleasant ones, like leaning in as requested and bending down for a kiss. Nemesis starts out soft and gentle, almost apologetic as she cups Aliza's cheek]
sangreine: kiss :: intimate ([haji] more than)

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-08-30 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Aliza touches Nem's hand, soothing. It's okay. Far be it for Aliza to prevent anyone from riding out of here in a giant robot to a screaming guitar solo (which someone should definitely provide). She needs no apology for it, and she doesn't want this moment to be that. ]

[ Instead, she moves to ease any nerves and regret out of the kiss, her arms around Nem's neck to pull herself closer. Trying to get from sweet and easy to more intense and, hopefully, memorable. Enough of an impression to last until who knows when. ]
unbr8kable: (liplock)

[personal profile] unbr8kable 2022-08-31 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Aliza...

[Murmured, not quite pulling away. Though Nemesis doesn't really have anything to add to that, and doesn't try. She would only mess up the words anyway, so instead she attempts to push her feelings into the kiss.

So it does start out careful at first, bittersweet with something that isn't quite regret but is certainly more reflective than Nemesis generally succeeds at being around others.

But it does not stay that way--it is extremely easy to fall into Alizarin's soft, encouraging warmth, and while Nemesis's hand stays pleasantly sandwiched between Aliza's fingers and cheek, her fingers curl into the nape of Aliza's neck and over the line of her jaw as if happy to be allowed to share that warmth.

And there's excitement in the kisses too--not just to touch and be touched like this, but the promise of something new, or the chance to finish old business, or just the genuine hope of being able to make a change after 496 days of the same old thing--Nemesis almost vibrates into the touches, deepening the kisses and pulling Aliza flush against her, if she'll go]

[ If she'll go...? Of course she will. Happily tugged close, Aliza releases Nem's hand in favor of using both arms to hold her, wistfully amused that moving on agrees with Nemesis so much. That, at least, makes her incredibly happy. ]

[ Making a low, satisfied hum like a cat stretching in the sun, Aliza stops coaxing and quickly loses herself in just responding, yielding and indolent. Her hand slides through Nem's hair and she focuses on its softness between her fingers, the curves and contours where they're pressed together. She wants this feeling to stay with her until her memories are locked away along with the rest of her in the cocoon of her Long Sleep. As often as they butted heads over -- well, it doesn't seem so important what those matters were, exactly -- when Nemesis kissed her and pulled her close it was always easy to put all that out of mind. ]

[ Aliza can never avoid throwing all her feelings into kisses she gives, for once as receptive as she is insistent, warm acceptance and understanding that she hopes comes through at least a little between all the wanton eagerness. She'll be sad when they part; up until then, she'd prefer to be anything but. ]

It's been so long. She feels like she's been holding part of herself back, and now is letting it all out in a rush while she still can. One kiss flows into another and another with heady abandon, a little needy and a little demanding and a little just dizzy with the sensation, pleased to live in the moment.

At the back of her mind and the pit of her stomach Nemesis is anxious to get back--terrified of failing but more terrified to be too late to save anyone--to do anything other than be stuck back here, helpless for eternity. But it feels good, both the action and being here with her, and perhaps Alizarin is not the only one who prefers a memorable good-bye to a rushed one.

Her hands shift over Aliza's back, and she gives a soft hum, and she leans in for just one more kiss, for luck]

[personal profile] sangreine 2022-09-03 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As long as Nemesis wants to keep those kisses going, Aliza's right there with her, tingling and pliable and only now and then letting what's waiting downstairs spring to mind. Being used to slow, painful goodbyes somehow makes the sudden ones a little easier. ]

[ When Nem's done kissing her, ready to move on in so many ways, Aliza stays close for just another moment, giving her a squeeze. And smiles. ]


Forget me after that, I dare you.

[ A lot of awful shit happened between them, almost exclusively Aliza's doing. She's not about to get into it or apologize, not now. If nothing else that mess grew from real feelings, and that's worth something. ]
