Forty-Eighth Theory [Accidental Video/Action for Housemates]

[i_speak_softly]

[It should be immediately obvious that Don didn't mean to turn his journal on, and isn't even aware that it is on. He isn't looking at it. He isn't saying anything. In fact, he might not be awake. He's just sitting slumped in a chair, his head on the desk-like counter before him.]

[If you look past Donatello to the background of the scene, you might be able to identify the setting as a subway car. A very strange subway car, though - it's stuffed with technology that might look futuristic even to someone from the same world and time as Don.]

[Do you quietly look away, Lucetians? Or do you intrude on the private moment?]

((Backdated to a little earlier this morning, thanks LJ.))

In battle. [And no, she's not giving details. She doesn't want to relive those last moments:

Metalia, who almost destroyed the world through Chiba Mamoru. Usagi, forced to kill her own lover to prevent that. The princess - Usagi - ready to destroy it all, who did destroy it all, once he was dead. Her own death and the other senshi's deaths fighting to stop it, in vain.

Usagi who brought it all back, gave them new life again with Metalia and the Dark Kingdom gone. The battle four years later that cleared away its last remnants.]

[Don drops the subject. Little does he know what's waiting in his own near future at home.]

Do you think this will last much longer?

I couldn't know. The malnosso aren't that regular. [Not in her experience. It's unpredictable when their experiments will start, and they've often had differing durations.]

True. But - I kind of don't want it to end.

Eh? Why do you want that?

[The subway car, obviously. But all Ami can think of are the various enemies crawling all over Luceti, too, right now.]

I - [- miss my home.]

[He never finishes that sentence.]

[She understands, somewhat.]

You know, it might not be lost. Even when this ends, you'll have this experience to help you when you take on those projects.

[... Hm. Is it possible that this work only gets finished in his future because of subconscious memories of Luceti? A fascinating idea.]

Maybe.

[Things work out very strangely, sometimes. It's certainly possible.]

So, it's sort of hard to say this, but it might turn out alright even when this ends.

I hope so. [He turns suddenly, as though listening to something.] I have to go, Ami. Take care of yourself out there.
