5th Magic Bullet

[It's Mother's Day, so Yuna can be found in a couple of places around town throughout the day today.]

1. [Yuna's out shopping for flowers.  She doesn't have a whole lot of money, but she's managed to save her allowances from Garviel for a few weeks and should at least have enough for a red rose and some carnations to spruce fill out the bouquet a little bit.  Feel free to bump into her while she's looking around at the selection, or perhaps you're the one selling the flowers to her.]

Hmm... I wonder how many I should get.  I wonder how many I can afford...

2. [Heading home, flowers in hand.  They're currently just wrapped up in some tissue paper, and she's cradling them very closely as she carries them along.  Every so often, she stops, sighs, and smiles wistfully up into the sky before continuing along on her way.]

Mother's Day already, huh...

3. [Once she's back home, Yuna immediately sets about finding an appropriate vase to put the flowers in.  She fills it up with some water, carefully lifting the flowers out of their wrapping and spending a few minutes arranging them tastefully - red rose in the middle, carnations surrounding it on the sides.  And then she takes the whole arrangement into the living room, setting it by the window where everyone can see it.  Anyone paying particular attention to her while she's doing this may catch her whispering at the very end while she looks up one last time into the sunny spring skies of Mayfield.]

...Happy Mother's Day, mom.

[Then she closes her eyes for just a moment to bow her head and smile before going about her business for the day.]

Thank you! [sobbing...] Mm, was there anything else you wanted? Maybe something special that caught your eye?

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? No, this should be plenty.

[Tilting her head.]

...Are you all right?
headedforhope: (and pelts with snow)

[personal profile] headedforhope 2011-05-12 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm feeling just fine.

...maybe a little hungry, if anything, haha!

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
Do you want to grab a burger or something? It'll be my treat.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
I can't remember most of my life before becoming an Astartes. Hypno-conditioning has made that time of my life fragmentary at best. And I don't dwell on it. I haven't lived on or seen my homeworld in over a hundred years.

[gurl she's classy- oh wait she eats fast food too]

Are you sure?

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you ever wonder about it?

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! It's no big deal.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-05-14 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Very rarely. My eyes are on the future and the present. The past is what it is, it has formed me, and I will study it, but I cannot live in it or I might miss my duties in the present.


[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that's a pretty good way to look at it. As long as you don't forget the really important stuff.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
What memories I have will never fade. I have been altered to have total recall.

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Wow... I can't even imagine what that would be like.

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Strange, to say the least. [he looks thoughtful, then asks Yuna.]

Is there anything I can do for you today? I mean, specifically.

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? For me?

[identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed. [He shrugs.] Is that a strange thing to ask?

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it's not really strange. But I'm okay, really. I just wanted to do something to remember my mom today. I think she would have really loved these flowers.

[Yuna smiles softly at the blooms sitting in the window.]

[Garviel pats her shoulder comfortingly. Best space marine dad.]

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-17 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe~

Thanks, Garvi.
headedforhope: (here I am; a rabbit hearted girl)

[personal profile] headedforhope 2011-05-22 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I...suppose. I don't want to be rude, after all.

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay! C'mon, then!

[Yuna finishes paying and whatnot and then takes Mami by the hand, energetically dragging her out of the flower shop and toward the diner.]
headedforhope: (wrapped around your ankles)

[personal profile] headedforhope 2011-05-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[WHAT NO WHY THIS

s-stumbles after]

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-23 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[And Yuna happily totes Mami and the flowers all the way to the diner, taking a seat by the window.]

Two burgers, a chocolate shake, and...

[Looking back at her.]

What's your favorite flavor milkshake, Mami-chan?
headedforhope: (rising like lightning in the pregnant)

[personal profile] headedforhope 2011-05-23 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[UHHHHHH]

I don't really have one, but strawberry will do just fine.

[identity profile] gonnamarrydaddy.livejournal.com 2011-05-23 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
And one strawberry shake!

[Yuna glances back to her new best frand, grinning.]

So, Mami-chan, how long have you been here? What's your fake family like?
headedforhope: (I'll dance myself up; drunk myself down)

[personal profile] headedforhope 2011-05-23 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[get in line yuna]

Oh, only a few months! As for my assigned family....most of them are very nice. I haven't had any problems co-existing with them yet.
