| *Though her appearance in the purple sleeping gown would be enough to stop his heart all on its own, the sight of her face being twisted by tears is enough to make it drop all the way into his stomach. He instinctively reaches out to touch her shoulder, though his awkwardness causes him to briefly touch it before letting his hands float idly* Van: "Wh-what's wrong Mana? Did something happen!?" | |

| Mana: *gestures her head towards the inside of the room, as if beckoning him to follow and close the door behind him, before making her way towards the bed to sit on it* | |

| *Van cautiously makes his way in front of her, looking down at her as she sits upon the bed with his knees crooked just slightly to be near eye level with her. He also gives her space, however, but the care in his expression couldn't be mistaken for anything else* Van: "What's bothering you, Mana?" | |

| Mana: *sighs* Do you recall how I mentioned that, due to certain circumstances, I have technically lived more years than my biological age suggests?

Tanya: *has a huge bowl of cookies and leans over the couch* Ne, ne, Nii-san~ Are you awake? | |

| *Van nods in agreement as his legs begin to grow tired. He lowers himself to sit on the bed next to Mana, though he refuses to break eye contact with her* Van: "Yes, I remember. You said you were a real-life ninja at some point, right?"
~
*Whip grumbles and tosses to his side, away from Tanya* Whip: "Nyammm... I dun wan be...." | |

| Mana: *nods* Yes, well... *eyes grow sad* There are people here in this game who I knew during my time as a ninja. Minato and Kushina, for example. However... *her lip trembles a bit in memory, and her face scrunches up in pain* They... T-They are not alive anymore, in the real world. *tears start to stream her face* N-Neither are my parents. And yet... They're both here and I've had to leave them both... *covers her face and sobs start to wrack through her* I-It would not be s-so bad if this were the first time... B-But... I-I ran away from home... A-And t-t-then... And then my parents d-died... And then I left the Leaf Village... And M-Minato and... K-Kushina died t-t-too...! *her whole body begins shaking from her emotional scars* I-I cannot bear to lose them again, Van...! * she seems to calm slightly as her sobs quiet and her voice grows more steady, and she removes her face from her hands* And yet, I will... *sniffs* Once I leave this game, I will face reality once again... *squeezes her eyes shut as her right hand tightens on her arm* My parents are gone... And this is just a fantasy. ~ Tanya: *sticks her tongue out at him* Laaaaaame~ *she does, however, leave him alone, and heads for the training room to see if AU Whip is there* | |

| *Van's hand suddenly reaches out to her tightening grip on her arm, as if to beg her not to hurt herself. He wants so much to say something in denial of her qualms, but with a lack of anything to say, he opts instead to curl his arm around her neck in a sort of comfortable half-hug, rubbing the top of her head as he lets a soothing sound escape him* Van: "Mana... You can't blame yourself for something like that." *He lets his head sink and stand on hers passively*
*AU Whip is indeed in the training room, though he... appears to be sitting with his legs crossed, lazily fingering through some menus* | |

| Mana: *leans into his half hug and sniffs* But the fault is mine. I abandon others, and then in return, others abandon me...
~
Tanya: *approaches him curiously* What'cha doin', other Nii-san? | |

| Van: "Abandon you?" *His free hand finds its way around her other shoulder and comfortingly drifts into a full hug* Van: "What do you mean...?"
~
*AU Whip starts at Tanya's approach, but when he notices who it is, he simply goes back to attending the menu* AU Whip: "Training." | |

| Mana: *simply lets herself be pulled into his shoulder, sniffling slightly* I have... I have always felt alone since my return to Mobius. I came back and found my sister alive, but... She had found new friends. Tanya acts as her younger sister as well, and Kimitsu offers her comfort in a romantic way. She had no need for me.
So I created the Mystic Ruins Hotel, because I felt like my home with Hana was not a home that welcomed me. And I met Whip. And I had believed that I found a place where I'd be welcomed always--a home to return to, finally. But Whip had Sugar and Dawg. They had their airship and their own adventures without me. And again, I was not needed. My company was not sought out. Everywhere I went, I was but the outsider to the party.
*Van's chest grows slightly damp* Everywhere. Even different universes, different realms, no one ever singly sought out my company. No one ever thought of me as their first and foremost best friend... I have several friends and I adore them but... I have never felt like I belonged in a group.

Tanya: Training how? =o | |

| *As soon as Mana sunk into him, he pulled her taut and curled himself around her, embracing her as closely as possible. With her words and the warm tears wetting his sleeve, he begins to rock gently, trying to soothe her as she speaks until she finishes* Van: "Mana... please don't judge yourself that way. How could you not 'belong' with your friends?" *He tilts his nose into the top of her head* Van: "I've seen the way you and everyone laugh together... and how much teasing goes on. You do too belong there. Your friends love when you're around, even an outsider like me can see it." *He brushes some of her hair comfortingly* Van: "Your 'friendibility' isn't decided because of how useful you are. There's no way your sister would deny you just because she found a sibiling in Tanya, or a love in Kimitsu. You're not some tool that can be used only in certain situations, or a brush to be added for a special effect. You're..." *His cheeks redden, but he simply buries himself deeper into Mana's hair and continues* Van: "You were special enough for me to approach you..."
~
AU Whip: "I'm trying to see... something..." *He sighs with exasperation and closes his menu* AU Whip: "Did you want something Tanya?" | |

| Mana: *remains quiet for awhile as she contemplates his words* ...I am still... doubtful... That I truly belong, but... *leans back to smile at him* Thank you for your comfort, Van. *her smile grows a little brighter* As well as your friendship.
~
Tanya: *ignores his question* What'cha trying to see? I can probably help. *looks proud* I have beat this game twice now~ | |

| Van: "I hope one day I can prove that you do belong." *He tilts his head to the side and gives her a gentle smile* Van: "But for now, I'll just have to keep trying~ My friendship is your friendship~"
~
AU Whip: "I'm just... looking over my capabilities." *He rolls his shoulder and holds one knee to his chest* AU Whip: "I was caught off guard back there... and that talking sword told me that I needed to get adjusted. I don't want to be flat-footed every time an altercation starts up." | |

| Mana: *blinks at Van, before giggling a bit excessively* ~ Tanya: *pats AU Whip's shoulder comfortingly* Don't worry so much, Serious Nii-san~! This game starts you off a little weird and I'm sure you can eventually get the hang of it~ It's just a game, so it doesn't reflect your real capabilities, but once you get out of the game, watch! *jumps up, thrusting her fist into the air* You're gonna rock! This game makes your mind and body remember your movements so you actually improve as you get really good, so it's gonna be great~! *puts her hands on her hips and grins hugely at him* But if you're so worried about in-game stuff, I'm sure the Great Tanya the Rabbit, Jack of All Trades, can help ya! >=3 Class Change detected. Player: TANYA has changed from WEAPONS CLASS to SWORDSMAN CLASS.Tanya: *looks incredibly decked out, and her stats suggest she's much higher leveled than her actual Weapons Class, and her proud expression indicates she's rather smug about it* Before your jaw drops, Serious-nii, these save points keep earlier data from earlier plays, so my first two bouts keep my stats in here~ Only here, but yeah. *unsheathes and twirls her sword, grinning* I can train you all you want! | |

| *Now Van's cheeks become self-consciously rosy, and his smile becomes a little shy in exchange* Van: "Wh-what?"
~
*AU Whip is taken aback, as if he's not quite used to Tanya being so forward. However, upon some thought, he nods decidedly and unsheathes his blade as well, though not quite yet pointing the weapon at her* AU Whip: "Then, I'd definitely appreciate the help, Tanya." *He mulls his thoughts around* AU Whip: "Though it is a little weird to be accepting training from you..." | |

| Mana: *still giggling a bit* That was rather silly! *giggles some more*
~
Tanya: *seems to bristle slightly at that, but smirks nonetheless* Hey. Your Tanya may be a big baby, but this is me you're talking about! *grins hugely and jumps onto his shoulder* I AM TANYA, THE QUEEN OF ALL COOKIES! *cackles* | |

| *Van giggles too out of embarrassment and scratches the back of his head* Van: "H-hey! I was only trying to help." *Despite this, he starts to laugh as well*
~
*AU Whip stumbles upon Tanya's leap, but then reaches around and grabs her with his arms, holding her upside-down in front of him* AU Whip: "Just don't get ahead of yourself, Queen~" | |

Tanya: *puts her hands on her hips in a challenging manner* Is this your initiation of a challenge~?! | |

| *Van lets her push sway him a bit, but then sways back to her and wraps his arm around her shoulder, still smirking with laughter* Van: "Feeling better?"
~
AU Whip: "If you're serious, then yes." *He puts her down on her feet and takes a step back* AU Whip: "I challenge you, Tanya. Let's start duelling~" *AU Whip then quite seriously puts his finger to his eye and pulls down his bottom lid a little, sticking his tongue out all the while* AU Whip: "Try not to lose too badly~" | |

| Mana: *nods, smiling still as well* Yes. Thank you Van~
~
Tanya: *cackles with laughter as several swords appear around her like the rays of a rising sun* You're too cocky, Serious-Nii! *dashes at AU Whip with incredible speeds that are more reflective of her actual abilities* I trained with the great Titania! *the swords swing around at AU Whip with incredible force* | |

| *Van's grin widens victoriously* Van: "Of course~! Now then, my lady, I do think it's appropriate for you to rest~ We have a long day tomorrow, and you are still recovering~"
~
*AU Whip tries to block with his sword, but even with the blade between him and the attack, he still gets crushed and knocked waaaay back, utter shock painting his expression* | |

| Mana: *nods* Truer words have rarely been spoken~ *her smile becomes a little bashful as pink tints her muzzle* Thank you again, Van. Truly.
~
Tanya: Maybe I should lower my level for you, Serious-Nii~? ;D | |

| Van: "What else is a friend for~?" *Van lies back with his hands behind his head, suddenly looking a little thoughtful* Van: "You know, I can't remember much just yet,... so I guess that means that you guys are my first friends, right?" *He smiles again at Mana, but then releases a short yawn* Van: "I think that's a pretty good thing~"
~
*AU Whip struggles to his feet, growling with frustration* AU Whip: "I shouldn't be this weak..." *Deciding that perhaps defense simply isn't his forte, he tries charging at Tanya this time, taking the offensive by dragging his sword behind him in preparation for a blow* | |

| Mana: *his yawns are contagious as she succumbs to it as well, lying down on the bed and scooching up to the pillows* Mmm... Once upon a time, I considered wiping my own memory. I still tend to lock them away instinctively, but... *looks up at Van with a sleepy but genuine smile* While I hope your memory returns to you, I will gladly be one of your first friends...~ *yawns again*
~
Tanya: Ne, Serious-nii~ *is suddenly behind him* Doesn't dragging your sword make you slower~? *kicks him to the ground* | |

| *Van tries his hardest to keep his eyes open, but the comfort of the bed and the trials of the day seem to have done more on him than he was aware of, and all he can manage is a comfortable smirk* Van: "Even if... I had a hundred friends before this..." *He yawns and turns on his side and giving up on ever getting back up* Van: "I think... taking care of a total stranger like me... puts you near the top..."
~
*AU Whip picks himself back up as quickly as possible* AU Whip: "It doesn't normally..." *He looks down at his sword analytically* AU Whip: "I suppose, though, constantly comparing this to reality won't help. I need to learn how to wield this blade in this world as well..." *He closes his eyes and allows himself to get a good feel for the weapon in his hands, and when he opens his eyes again, he charges at Tanya again, with much more fluid movement as his blade never touches the ground* | |
