[closed] in the future that continues unclearly

[loveagain]

Date & Time: Saturday, May 4th; mid-afternoon
Location: Outside the apartments?! Let's go with that.
Characters: Shirley Fenette and Lelouch vi Britannia
Summary: That awkward moment you run into the love of your life despite him trying to avoid you.
Warnings: MAYBE ANGST?? That's probably as bad as it might get though.

[SO by chance and for whatever reason, Shirley was just on her way out of the apartments for... Probably to buy groceries or something, just some mundane and normal task. Right as she steps outside though, she looks up to see a rather familiar figure.

If she thought about it, she was used to seeing him in the rain at least.]

Lulu? Is that you?

I guess that could be it, but if that's how it is, they're going to just keep kidnapping people like crazy, aren't they? Who knows how many different kinds of histories there are out there!

Really? They really are interested in other places and histories then... What kinds of books were they? Just regular history books or something like that?

[chessmasters]

They bring people here every month, right? They might be planning to do that after all.

[He nods.]

Mm, history books. There were some military notes too, I think.

[loveagain]

Yeah, it does happen pretty regularly. They have a strange plan in mind, if that's the case... [Granted any plan would probably seem weird when traveling across worlds used to be an impossible idea.]

Military notes? I guess that would be helpful given the situation here.

[chessmasters]

I can't think of any other reason why they would need to bring civilians here. It would benefit them more to only bring military here, though, I think. Less dangerous, at least...

[loveagain]

[She nods in agreement.] It'd be less dangerous for everyone involved, you know? I guess it can't really be helped at this point, but still.

[chessmasters]

It might not be so terrible if they didn't draft just anybody for the missions, but...

[loveagain]

Yeah... Even after being here for a while, there's still so many things I don't like or understand.

[chessmasters]

Yeah... Suzaku and I are trying to find a way to leave, though I'm not sure how effective it will be in the long run. If it were easy, there wouldn't still be so many people here.

[loveagain]

That's what I thought. [a beat] But I mean, if it's you two working together, I'm sure you'll be able to figure something out, right?

[Okay it's partly trying to lighten the mood, but it's a little serious too! Along with saving cats from perilous heights, who knew what else they could do when they weren't secretly (or not so secretly) trying to kill each other.]

[chessmasters]

[He smiles lightly, chuckling. He's fine with lightening the mood up. It's better that way when Shirley's involved. She's been troubled enough as it is.] Something like that. We make a good team, right?

[loveagain]

The best team I'd say! Not many people would go climbing rooftops just to save a cat.

[chessmasters]

[Ah, right, that whole fiasco. Damn that cat.

He laughs.]

I wouldn't go that far. Suzaku did most of the work.

[loveagain]

I guess he did have to save you too in the end... Well, the fact that you tried is what matters, right?
