video; Ishtar, March 13th

[trustheart]

[The video feed is a first person view of a bunch of purple stuffed goats, mounted on wheeled platforms, chasing after someone who's running. Some of them have ribbons around their necks, some of them has attachments connected to their platforms for a variety of jobs. For those that know of them, they'd be recognizable as Hibiki's spy goats.

The camera moves to show Chris's face, who looks both winded and angry as she shouts at her device.]

THEY'VE BEEN AFTER ME ALL DAY! SOMEONE SEND HELP!

SHIKYOIN, DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

Because the power of love can help you do anything!

[ Hey, it's kind of true where Minako comes from, even if she doesn't realise that since she can't remember.. ]

Just try it next time you're doing something! Do it with the power of love, and it'll go amazingly for sure!

[trustheart]

... Minako, this is going to sound like a weird question, but. Do you have a girlfriend, and do you have a weird preoccupation with holding people's hands?

[reloves]

[ There's a good few seconds of silence, where Minako just stares.

Then-- ]

C.. Chris.. Are you asking me out?!

[trustheart]

... What?! Hell no!

I'm trying to make sure you're not a friend of mine from home with amnesia or in a disguise!

[reloves]

W.. W-What's with that "hell no"? Are you saying there's something wrong with me?! Aren't I a super pretty and charming girl?!

[ Totally missing the point. ]

[trustheart]

That's not what I mean! I mean... you aren't my type?! And I'm not really the sort of person to just ask someone else out like that?!

[reloves]

I don't know! I'm not going to judge anyone for the speed or the intensity of their feelings!

[ Even if she just totally imagined them. ]

But fine, fine, I guess it's okay as long as the reason isn't anything about me.. [ A small, yet dramatic sigh. ] Either way, if I really was your friend, you'd know, right? It's not like the way someone looks changes just because they lost their memories!

[trustheart]

There are no feelings here!

... And yeah, you're right. It's just. You two are so similar it's kind of scary.

[reloves]

Isn't that just a good reason to become even better friends with me?

[trustheart]

Jury's still out whether my life can endure two of you.
