...To The Past? [Open]

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Why did I come in here?"

There were very few things Sasami regretted. One of those things? Walking into the art hall. She'd never thought it was needed to come visit here, but, after the whole thing with the Tapestry, curiosity came and bit her hard. The Tapestry wanted to show her things of the future. She'd just wanted to see things of the past. Out of curiosity, she looked at the first statue before her and gasped at what was being shown.

Herself at 3 years old, on a small platform, dead (at least in her mind). Over her was the form of Tsunami, ready to assimilate with her and revive her.

She stepped back, reeling in fear. Why did it show her that?! Of all the things she could have seen, it was that.

"Please, change it! I don't want to see this anymore!" Sasami pleaded, but it seemed like it was stuck at the moment.

Kaya had taken to exploring the ship at the moment, and a part of her had avoided the Tapestry. She wasn't quite sure why she did it: maybe a part of her was already overloaded with bad news as of late, more of it would just be too much for her to handle.

In truth, there had been one too many blows in only a few days time, and she wanted some time to think, to be by herself a little, so she was walking by the art room, just to see what was there, when she heard an outburst, recognizing the voice of her Otouto-chan's girlfriend.

"Sasami? Are you all right?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Ah...?" Sasami uttered, wondering who had spoke up during her outburst. Turning her head, she spotted Kaya approaching.

"Oh... no, not really.." she said, hanging her head.

Kaya watched the girl, her heart going out to her. She had not forgotten about that horrible Kane character that had harmed Negi and several others to try and get to Sasami, nor the confusion at learning about her powers

"What's wrong?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"It's... I..." Sasami stammered, trying not to bring attention to the statue before her. It remained there in that form a little while longer, as if taunting her.

[kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com]

Kaya, of course, had a sharp eye, and gazed at the statue before her, feeling a growing sense of dread.

"Oh Sasami," she said, looking a little alarmed. "What happened here?"

Aside from her Security duties and Medical training, Jeka had been avoiding people since she'd returned to the proper point in her personal timeline. But after all her time with the Legion and the time spent on board Stacy, some things were just ingrained into her. When she heard someone cry out in distress, she was already flying to see what was wrong before she even registered the words or that she knew who that voice belonged to.

"Sasami, are you all right?" she asked, slithering through the air between the statues.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"...Jeka!"

It had been awhile since she'd seen her fellow princess and there was still just a bit of doubt if still calling her just Jeka was still reasonable. At the moment, though, it didn't matter. The statue hadn't changed and it was still showing her that scene.

"That statue... i-it won't change! I-It's still like that! I...!" she cried out. She didn't like it at all.

[hatngartersnake.livejournal.com]

Jeka flew to the other princess' side, interposing her body between Sasami and the statue.

"Then, if there's nothing you need right here, I'd suggest moving to another area of the statuary," she said, putting a comforting hand on Sasami's shoulder. She could certainly understand not wanting to see what the statue was currently showing!

Sasami shivered a bit as Jeka lead her away. Of all the memories she had, it was one she despised the most. Mostly because it reminded her of what she thought she was - nothing more than a copy.

"Th-thank you, Jeka, I..." Sasami started to say, letting another shiver free as she hung close.

Hikari blinked as she walked through into the art hall. This was definitely one room that she hadn't actually been too much in her year or so on the ship. It was probably time that she came to start looking at it.

She blinked as she saw Sasami though, and she was definitely upset. "Sasami-chan? What's wrong?"

Yeah, she hadn't noticed the statue yet.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami turned as she heard Hikari's voice. Out of reflex, she turned and ran to the other girl's side.

"Hikari-chan, that... that statue, it's...!" she stammered, pointing at the still-offending statue.

[chosenlightchld.livejournal.com]

And out of reflex Hikari ended up wrapping her arms around Sasami, holding her close to her. "Statue?" she asked, looking up at it... and having her eyes widen quite a bit at what she saw. Why the heck would the ship have a statue of a young girl dead with a woman that looked like an older Sasami floating above the girl?

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami's body trembled as Hikari held her close.

"Hikari-chan, that's... I..." Sasami stammered. "That's me... I'm..."

Sasami's distressing voice certainly caused her alarm when she was exploring the ship itself. She ran as fast as she could into the art hall before seeing her surrogate sister.

"Sasami, what's wrong?" she asked, kneeling down to her level before she gave her a tight hug.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami quickly wrapped her arms around Hoshi as she joined her, trying her best not to cry.

"Th-that statue... i-it's...!" she stammered, the offending statue not switching at the moment.

[radiantcourage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi ran her fingers through Sasami's hair, shushing her gently as to help her calm down. She could tell that she was frightened just by how her body was shaking.

"It's...?" she asked, still trying her best to offer support to her little sister.

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

Sasami couldn't say it, still frightened by what she saw. All she could do was to point at the offending statue, still bearing the offending scene.

Negi had an uncanny ability to be there when Sasami needed him. Call it a signal or something, but he had arrived a minutes or so at the art hall. "Sasami are you in here?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"...Negi-kun!" she gasped out, hearing her loved one's voice. She turned and ran to his side, her body trembling as she held him. "Th-that statue... i-it's..."

[hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com]

He looked over at it as he wrapped a arm around her waist. "Oh man that's a horrible statue."

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"It is... I..." Sasami stammered, holding on to Negi. "Negi-kun, I'm..."

Hay Lin had felt a need to be in this particular area, and soon enough she realized why that was. It didn't take long for her to find the person who was in dire straits - so to speak. "...Mei-mei?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"Neesan...!"

A few moments later, Hay Lin would be greeted by her little surrogate sister, running up and wrapping her arms around her in a panic.

[guardian-haylin.livejournal.com]

"What's going on...?" Hay Lin hadn't expected to see the image of Sasami on a platform, though she'd gotten used to the girl running up to embrace her. She hugged her back before glancing at the images. "What is this place?"

[saint-sami.livejournal.com]

"It's... it's some sort of art room, I..." Sasami stammered, hugging Hay Lin tightly. The scene certainly freaked her out.
