Meet and Greet Part Deux: The Socialing

[cityship]

The new people will find themselves ushered out of Obs Deck, so it can be shot down to the planet again, to pick the crew up. Eventually, the crew members on the mission are brought back up, and the doors open to let the two groups meet.

The newbies are likely not expecting their new crew-mates to come back bearing presents--which some of them are.

[ooc: This time anyone can post in. REMEMBER TO TAG OTHER PEOPLE, THO. This is set after the mission so mission peoples can meet the newbies. Latecomer newbies, if you want, you can just tag your guys into this one to make things easier.]

"Would you? Really?" Vivio said, smiling widely. "You think you can teach me what you all can do, too?"

She was getting a bit ahead of herself here. She just finished learning the basics, she shouldn't be going that far!

[starlightace]

Vivio's mother was reading her mind. "That... might be moving a bit too fast, sweetie. We'll work up to it someday," she chuckled.

But then her face took on a slightly more serious - but only slightly - tone. "Just so you know, if Fate-mama and I train you, we're not going to ever go easy on you just because you're our daughter and we love you very much."

The seriousness melted into a grin. "We might go harder on you because of it."

"Nanoha, you don't want to scare her away from ever training with us, do you?" If it had been anyone else Nanoha had been offering to train with, Fate would have been serious. But there was an obvious teasing tone in her voice now.

... But really, Vivio had seen them train, right? Either way, it might unnerve the poor girl just a bit. Then again, she was Nanoha's daughter...

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

Yes, Vivio had seen Nanoha and Fate train. She knew how they could be. And, despite her own cheeriness over the idea of training with them, she WAS a bit worried about what they could do.

Nevertheless, Vivio nodded as she replied. "I know... and I'm ready for anything!"

[starlightace]

Nanoha laughed again. "You shouldn't tempt me and Fate-mama like that. You might just get it." Well, tempt her, anyway. Fate would probably still go a bit easy on her.

"But we should see if you can find another sparring partner here on the ship first, too. There are so many people you need to meet!"

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Nanoha was totally right. There's no way Fate could go all out against her daughter. Hell, the only people she probably DOES go all out against in sparring are Signum and Nanoha. They're just special that way.

"Maybe you can get some members of the Magical Department together for a bit of sparring? I'm sure one of them will be willing to train with Vivio."

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

Vivio tilted her head towards Nanoha, curious herself. "Would that be okay, Nanoha-mama?"

[starlightace]

"Mm-hmm!" She nodded. "I think that'd be fine! Other people could probably use some good sparring sessions too, and if you just want to work hand-to-hand there's definitely some people on the ship who can help you there."

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

"That's great! Thank you Nanoha-mama!" Vivio said, running up and hugging Nanoha tightly. It still felt weird, though - that everyone she knew were from the past, but right now? She didn't care. One question did remain, though.

"...do we have a home here? Do we have to go back into those pods again?"

[starlightace]

As Vivio hugged her, Nanoha hugged just as tightly back, and though the tears had since stopped, she couldn't believe that the girl was here. She was so big...

"Of course we have a home. We live in a hotel with some other nice people - you can stay with your mamas, if you'd like! But..." Nanoha paused. "Now that you're so big, maybe you'd like your own room instead? Like a big girl would have?"

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

"A room? For myself? Really?" Vivio said, surprised. She couldn't believe it - Nanoha was trusting her with a room for herself. This was something she knew she shouldn't let her parents down with.

"That would be wonderful! Please? Can I?" Both her and Sacred Heart had their hands together, as if they were pleading for this.

[starlightace]

Nanoha looked as though she was thinking very hard about it, though the twinkle in her eye might have given her away (to Fate, at least). "Hmm, I don't know," the mage said in a sing-song. "It's kind of a big responsibility. You'd have to keep it clean and make your bed every morning on your own, you know."

"What do you think, Fate-mama?" Nanoha looked up at Fate, a knowing smile on her face.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, I don't know...." Fate crossed her arms, appearing to be deep in thought. "If Vivio really wants to, I suppose we can give her a chance. But she needs to be able to prove that she can keep her room tidy!"

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

"I will! I promise! I'll make you both proud!" Vivio said. This was it - her chance to show them that she can do something adult-like!

[starlightace]

"Well... I think we could give it a try. If you really promise."

Nanoha smiled down at the younger girl, and then tears were in the corners of her eyes again. She'd missed this so much.

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

Fate wrapped an arm around Nanoha, noting the tears about to fall. She had missed this too.

"But, if you don't mind..." This request might have been a little selfish, since Vivio seemed to be trying to become more independent... but still. There was another thing Fate missed a lot. "Maybe the three of us should stay together, just for tonight."

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

Truth be told, Vivio was very excited at her chance to be a bit independent. At the same time, though, she could tell that both of them really missed her and they wanted to be together as a family at least one night.

"Okay...!" Vivio said, reaching over and giving Fate a hug.

Yes, she wanted to be grown up and independent. But, for one night? She still wanted to be their little girl and make sure that, when she woke up, they were still there.

[starlightace]

"Right - just for a night or two. I'm sure you won't mind, right Vivio?"

She rested her head on Fate's shoulders as she pulled both of her girls in for a breath-squeezingly tight hug. Don't worry, Vivio. They won't leave you.
