Meanwhile, back on the Meatship! o/ [Open to those NOT in the Second Life plot!]

Things seemed a bit lonely within the ship. A lot of the crew had disappeared on another mission and hadn't come back yet. Amongst those were Vivio's parents, Nanoha and Fate, as well as Vita. Sure, Hayate, Einhart and the Reinforces were still around, but it seemed just a bit lonely without her parents around. Hopefully, they'd be back before Christmas... or somewhere close to Christmas.

Wanting to pass the time away, Vivio headed back to the Media Library, taking up her usual job as librarian, making sure everything was in place (and secretly ditching any files on that horrible Punishment that appeared. She didn't want anyone else seeing it).

"I wonder if everyone's okay..." Vivio mused to herself.

"You talkin' to me?"

A blond braided viking had wandered in looking annoyed. Her lanky arms were flexing as if she was looking for something to break and her eyes darted about like a hunter on the prowl.

"Oh!"

Vivio jumped a bit, hearing the arrival. She didn't realize that someone would have heard her and she grinned sheepishly as she spoke up. "Oh, n-no, I'm just talking to myself! My family went on a mission and I was wondering if they were okay!"

"Oh." Was her simple reply as she brushed past Vivio stalking about the room looking for something...or more precisely someone. "This is the Media room right?" She asked curtly turning back on Vivio in a whirl of blond mane.

Vivio smiled a bit hearing Ruffnut's question.

"Yes, it is! Well, Media Library, but same difference, right?" she said, giggling. "You need help finding something?"

"Yeah a guy." Ruffnut huffed and straightened up a little out of her stooped "Ready to rumble" stance. "Scrawny kid, brown hair, metal leg. His name's Hiccup. I heard he's sometimes in here."

She had spent the last couple...would it be days? Looking for Hiccup and Astrid. She had only become vaguely aware that she hadn't seen them in a while and when they weren't at the forge or in the Sensoriums that left...a whole lot of ship to search.

She was completely unaware that both of them and Toothless were away on the mission.

Vivio took up a concerned look on her face as she shook her head.

"Nuh-uh. I haven't seen anyone like that in awhile. I'm sure he's around somewhere...!" Vivio said, trying to reassure her. There was the off-chance that he had been repodded, but that sounded silly concerning someone like him.

"How about Astrid?" The girl sounded more irate, "Blond girl, less hair then me? Big eyes that could burn your hair off when they glare?" And then she added, "Or maybe even the dragon? Big dark blue thing?" Her fists were clenched as the frustration was mounting again.

Vivio's head shook once more as she let Ruffnut know she hadn't seen either of them, either. Wasn't there another dragon, too? Kang?

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen any of them either. If all of them are gone at the same time, they might have went on the mission, too...!" she said. She noticed the viking's hands clench in anger. If she was going to blow up...

"Mission?"

Her fists unclenched and her eyes got wide in confusion for a moment. "What mission? There's a mission?"

Vivio nodded. "Y-Yeah... some of us got called away to a mission. I just know my mamas and Vita-chan went, but it's possible they may have went, too!"

There was a moment of silence and then a deep growl rumbling in her chest, "Oh come ON!" She roared. "Not fair!" She cursed. "I've been working my butt off how come they get to go on the mission?" Her eyes were scanning the immediate area looking for something to break.

"Uwah...!" Vivio yelped out as Ruffnut went off. "E-Easy! Easy, please! It's not their fault, it's Stacy's! I...!"

If Ruffnut got too violent, she just might have to fight back. The Library was her responsibility and she wasn't going to let it get harmed this way!

"Of coarse it's Stacy's fault. It's always the stupid Ships fault if it isn't those stinkin' bugs fault." She picked up a pad which came to life with music and images causing Ruffnut to yelp and drop it. This was her first encounter with modern media.

"EEP!" Vivio yelped out, her reflexes allowing her to catch the pad before it hit the ground. She has no idea how many times she's had these pads broken by someone who got angry or frustrated over everything. She knew that one would be damaged soon. Just not today.

"Please, just calm down." Vivio begged. "I know it's frustrating, but you can't get angry like that. It won't help."

...and it probably won't help her calm down, as well, which is why Vivio isn't going to let her guard down.

Ruffnut's teeth were clenched as she recomposed herself, "What in the name of Odin's swollen gut is that thing anyway?" She snarled trying to keep her cool. Electricity was crackling from her fingertips now and she wasn't about to blast some random girl out of anger at being left behind.

Eva's curled up in a corner of the Media Library, a section she feels that she's laid claim to by being in that same corner every few hours. She's reading Kafka, Metamorphosis, after it came up in an earlier conversation with a crewmate, and tapping her foot compulsively to some rhythm only she can hear. She looks a bit startled as she notices Vivio. "I'm sorry, am I in your way?"

"It's a media pad. It lets you read books, watch videos, listen to music. Pretty much anything you'd like to," Vivio said. She noticed the electricity crackling and her eyes narrowed.

"I want you to calm down... now." she said, Sacred Heart finally joining her, ready to defend if she doesn't. Here's hoping that she does calm down!

"Oh, no, no...! It's okay!" Vivio said, snapping out of her thoughts. "I'm just trying to do something to keep me busy, so...!"

Ruffnut noticed the change in tone and considered for a moment taking the girl on right then and there. She was sure she could overpower Vivio if she wanted to (Not that she knew anything about Vivio)

"Or what?" She growled thought the sparks were being better contained in her skin.

"I'll just have to cool you off..." Vivio said. She doesn't want to fight and Nanoha wouldn't be pleased if she struck without reason. However, it seemed that she wasn't going to calm down any soon.

"Please. Just relax. It's not worth it."

You're reasoning with a viking. It's not going to work.

"I'd like to see you try." She shot back going back into her "Dragon fighting" stance fists balled up. Sure it didn't actually matter that Vivio had nothing to do with why she was upset. She didn't have to.

Vivio sighed in defeat. She didn't want it to come to this, but she really didn't have much of a choice.

"Sacred Heart..." she uttered as she dropped into a fighting stance, waiting for Ruffnut to make the first strike.

"What?" That earned a confused look from Ruffnut as she cracked her knuckles more sparks. "Some kind of battle prayer? A battle cry is much better. Something like this."

She sucked in a deep breath and let out a roar that could vibrate windows...if they had windows in this room anyway.

Vivio's eyes went wide hearing the roar. Sacred Heart flew behind Vivio, trying not to get tangled up in her hair as it ruffled by it.

"I don't need anything like that. It's too cumbersome." Vivio said, calmly. "If you're done, though..."

That made her narrow her eyes, "I'm just getting started." She swung a fist lunging forward. How much of a fight could this girl put up? She was much too sweet looking.
