REPORT 019 :: MIA // VOICE

[daisy023]

[SPARTAN-023 is concerned about these leaves. She makes a few filter tests to check on friends of hers, an easy way to make a roll call: Adell, the rest of the Rogues, Valvalis, Kirimi, Nel, Lina, Jordan, Litchi--

Lina's filter breaks.

...

Daisy hesitates for a few seconds. After a minute, she grabs her journal.]

[VOICE]

Lina Inverse has gone home.

[Spoken unemotionally. Bad news she has been too used to deliver.

It doesn't hurt the Spartan as much. She is back where she should be. Even if she would probably forget about her. About this place.

It still feels as if she has lost a person under her care.]

I'm okay. I guess... just a little bummed, you know? I thought I'd be home already, too.

Um, and you don't have to call me ma'am! I'm not really old enough for that. My name's Mimi! What's yours?

[daisy023]

Daisy... Miss Mimi.

[Holding on to military language to keep her sanity. And yet, it seems to annoy people more than it serves as verbal manners.]

Luck of the draw. I think the usual here is a year.

[sinceritytear.livejournal.com]

Oh...

How long have you been here, then?

[daisy023]

It's going to be ten months for me.

[She doesn't sound sad or frustrated. She sounds pensisive.]

[sinceritytear.livejournal.com]

That is a while. Maybe it means you'll go back soon?

[daisy023]

[...]

A few have three years. [The average is one and a half.] For some... it's a break from home.
