Office Hours
[Those who wish to meet with the Junior Administrator-- well she's always on call.
Getting her off her phone on the other hand... is a bit more difficult.]

[She takes a deep breath and starts at the beginning.]
When I was asked... to come here... the school wasn't like this then. Everything changed recently, but before that... it was just a school for talented individuals.
I... I just wanted a place to continue my work. I wasn't... I wasn't good with people. I didn't like the program but even more than that I was... anxious... about being in charge of others.
[She pauses.]
When I was just turning five I... saw the fire that killed my parents. From... just outside. Afterwards, I... I lost the person that I was. I lost "Vivienne". And... I couldn't get that part of me back. After that... I didn't... know how to connect with people. It was easier... not to.
But... even though I was anything but an ally to you then... you still...
[She feels silly saying it, but--]
You accepted me. With... all my faults. And in the world it almost felt like... I finally... found a place I belonged...

[ So it looked like she was another person who had just gotten caught up in this mess. He can't help but look a little sad at hearing that, and it shows on his face.
Terra can't hug her, place a hand on her shoulder, or hold her hand, but the instinct to do either one of those things is still there. Right now, his words will have to do, and he could only hope for that much...and maybe it'll be enough, since it seemed that there wasn't just sadness here. ]
It can be hard to find your place in the world, and honestly...even though I'm not too happy about being pulled along here [ Until he remembers how fucked everything is for him, that is-- ] I'm happy to know that something good came from this. I guess...for me, it's always felt like you were one of us from the beginning, so, I...
[ He shakes his head, somehow managing something of a smile. ]
I don't know where I was going with this exactly. But having people you can rely on makes a world of a difference.
no subject
That’s why... I want to ask you to help me. You saw... what Flat did that day. If you can do that, I can do the rest. And I... I’ll work hard to support you all moving forward.
Because... I want to have a place to come back to and... I won’t have that without you.

[ Terra will clench his hand before placing on his chest, but with an almost flat palm, and a determined look in his sapphire eyes. He's committed and he's going to see this through to the end. For once, it looks like things are starting to brighten up, even if they're going to be difficult. ]
I guess at this point it'll be good to know some things:
Do you happen to know when things started to take a turn for the worse? I mean, when this ... hijacking thing appeared? Since it sounds like we still need to know more about that, and it only got bad enough awhile after Han's arrival.
And do you know when would be a good time for me to catch 'Megumi' so I can insert this thing in? Since I saw how Flat do it and all... but I'm not sure how receptive she'd be to me jumping out of nowhere and being like 'hey I need to insert this square thing can you just hold still for a second?'
[ ... Because uh, yes he does know that it's her uncle's robot/AI thing but she didn't seem very friendly during the motive thing. ]
no subject
[And as for Megumi--]
Oh-- you shouldn't have a problem with her. You can tell her it's an order from me. She should listen. She's... emotionally, she's not very well developed, but she is intelligent. She understands what Uncle wants her to do.
no subject
[ ...That's actually a huge relief to him. ]
I guess at this point it's now a matter of grabbing her as soon as possible and doing it, and then we should be in the clear, right?

[ Terra thinks he doesn't have anything else for her at the moment, but... ]
... It was good talking to you again, Vivi. I mean it. If there's anything else you want to let me know, just tell me now, or we can just save it for later.
no subject
[It's been... a tough, lonely time.]
If something happens, you can still find me here. But... hopefully we'll be able to talk face to face before that has to happen.
no subject
He hopes to encounter Megumi soon, but if not tonight, there's always tomorrow (or Tuesday if he can't manage Monday.) ]
I hope so too.
...Have a good evening, Vivi.
[ He'll wait until she bids her goodbyes before he does finally leave. ]
no subject
[It feels like... everything's started moving again. There's somewhere to go, something to do-- and she actually feels ready to face it. She has at least one ally that remains. That's more than she had when this all began. So... if she has to start over. So be it.]
