|Poses=:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly was... NOT a happy camper. Takashi's stuff was being moved to a NEW lab under BERYL. Beryl had come in and BROKE Takashi's stuff and YELLED at her and BROKE the FDM.<br><br>And in return she got Takashi to work for her? RUDE! SO UNFAIR! She just KNEW that Kaolinite was behind it. Somehow. So she was now sitting on one of the tables, glaring at the youma who were hauling things away. Occasionally grousing at them when they did it.<br><br>The youma didn't care.<br><br>It wasn't fairrrrrrr! Takashi was HER mentor person and now SHE was under Mimette. And Mimette was almost as upset by it as she was.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:94|Norie Okana (94)}} has posed:'''<br>Norie Okaba is also angry, in her white labcoat, with her employee id badge, safety glasses hung around her neck as she mutters and utters orders for things. "''THAT MACHINE IS WORTH MORE THAN YOUR PATHETIC LIFE, BE CAREFUL WITH IT!"'' she says. "''THAT'S A LIVE SPECIMEN!''" she says to another as ''angry corn'' is carried away in it's glass cylinder sample cage.<br><br>Sayaka's arm passes by her, in some glass container, as she looks away and over at Hotaru as she frowns a little and says softly. "I'm sorry about the department change. Hopefully, it won't be permanent." she says. "-and don't worry you can come by and visit I'm sure. You still have to help care for Tango." she says with a little sadness.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly gave a small, sad wave to angry corn. "I... know. It's so not fair, though. Having everyone here was so fun. I got to see all of my friends all the time and I was the best lab assistant. I even lab assisteded you! I was good, wasn't I?" Firefly asked, giving Norie the sad eyes.<br><br>"It's so not fair. Now I have to be under Mimette. And Mimette is dumb. And Takashi is such a better boss. And funner. And nicer. And now I won't see you or Mami or Takashi or Tango nearly as much and it's so unfair..."<br><br>Hotaru watched the arm go by with extra sadness. It was so weird and creepy. She loved it.<br><br>"OH! That reminds me. On a recent mission I ran into this weird girl in a really cute pink henshin. She said she was a 'true vampire hunter' when she purified the youma. I figured that might be something you'd want to know about. On account of, you know. Being a vampire."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:94|Norie Okana (94)}} has posed:'''<br>Norie Okana nods, and neutrally says, as best as she can. "Of course you we're fine. You did everything I asked and more." she says. "The donuts we're just the plus though." she says as she sighs a little as she looks over to the efforts and clenches her fists. "I'm wondering what Beryl is going to have us ''do''. She isn't exactly... science minded." she says. "Maybe she just needs ''bodies'' but ugh I am not doing Midnight Tokyo Project II: Electric Boogaloo." she says.<br><br>Norie looks perplexed when the mention of a vampire hunter is brought up. One in pink? She's unfamiliar. She closes her eyes. She thinks. She scans through her dreams... she doesn't have her dream diary hand, so she can't check it. But that doesn't...sound familiar to her... "Ah..." she says. "A 'vampire hunter'?" she asks, "a ''true'' one?" she asks. "IN pink? I'm not. Familiar with this girl. And she purified a youma? That is going to be tricky for me if we meet. Thank you for the warning. Did... was there a name involved in all this?" she asks.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly made an ick face. "Ugggggh. I hope not. That was such a bad plan. No offense, I know you and Takashi like the dusk zone, but I'd like it to stay where it like... isn't... trying to murderize me." She did not ever have a good reaction to it. Nope. "She's soooo the kind of boss to make people come into an hour long meeting when it could be an email, I bet."<br><br>Firefly lightly kicked her feet while she relaxed on the table. "Nope. No name. She just said she was a vampire hunter and had this really cool whip. Might just be her look, though. Like how I'm superhero themed and Riventon is mad scientist themed and.... there's actually a lot of themes."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:94|Norie Okana (94)}} has posed:'''<br>Norie Okana sighs a little. "Maybe this is payback for me stabbing Nephrite in the back, when the chance was right." she says as she crosses her arms and huffs. "Now I have to work for his boss." she says as she taps her foot. She sighs a little as a mainframe of some sort is wheeled away on it's cart and she boredly watches.<br><br>When she says she uses a whip, she narrows her eyes a little. "A..whip? Are you sure?" she asks as she turn to look at Firefly weirdly, "That's a unique weapon, are you sure it wasn't like. A morning star, actually?" she asks, as she closes her eyes again.<br><br>Now, a vampire hunter with a whip? That sparks,, something in her.<br><br>But right now it's curiosity.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly couldn't help but wonder, just a bit, if stabbing him was the wisest move. He was till on their side... eh. If Takashi was okay with it, it was probably fine. However, the questioning about the whip made her frown.<br><br>"... Yes? A whip is like... a whip. A morning star is a stick with a spiked ball. I can tell the difference," she said, pouting a little. "Norie-senpaiiiii, you don't think I'm dumb enough to get those two mixed up, do you? It was a whip. You know. K-chaw!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:94|Norie Okana (94)}} has posed:'''<br>Norie Okana frowns a little, she seem to shift in place uncomfortably after the confirmation it was a whip. Why did that fact make her feel so uncomfortable? She sighs a little. "I see." she says. "Something about that makes me feel uneasy but I don;t know what." she says.<br><br>"I have...dreams of..." she trails off. "... well. I have dreams of the last vampire who had my power. Something about a hunter using a whip strikes that part of me as important and it makes me feel..."<br><br>"Something." she says as she takes a deep breath and lowly sighs. "Hrm..." he says as she taps her foot. "I need. My Dream Diary.. a second..." she says as she Duskports away....<br><br>a....and returns about an awkward half-minute later with a diary-looking book with one of those belt locks on it.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly gave a small nod. "I guess... but... I mean.... it might just be coincidence? Besides, if they were a like... if they're good, they'd not want to hurt you, right? They'd want to try and help you or something?"<br><br>"After all, you don't WANT to be a vampire. Therefore, they'd have to try and help you if they're a sparkle skirt. That's how the rules work," Firefly said firmly. As if there were actual written rules.<br><br>Of course, once she was left alone she just lightly made popping sounds with her lips, kicking her feet back and forth, waiting... waiting...<br><br>"Ohhhhh. So like... is it a magic diary that like, lets you relive your dreams or something? Or... just something you keep writing your dreams in? I have weird dreams sometimes... but they're usually... weird."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:94|Norie Okana (94)}} has posed:'''<br>Norie Okana pats her diary. "It's just a normal diary I write my strange dreams in. For later." she says. "I'm a vampire. I might be a vampire for a long time. Heck. It might be Takashi's kid who actually cures me at this rate." she said with a snort as she unlocks the diary and starts peeking through it. "So I write things down in case. I become so old I forget more than I know!" she says.<br><br>She sighs and flips through pages, reading her writing, as she mutters.<br><br>"She could wanna help me. But she could also want to purge me from this Earth!" she says dramatically.<br><br>"A Hunter worries me. But I feel there's..." she sighs a little. "Like. There's 'A' vampire hunter. Then there's some 'THE' vampire hunter I need to be worried about..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly leaned forward, her palms going down on the desk and pushing herself up and off! She hit the ground and stumbled a few feet before righting herself, then holding her hand out so her glaive flew to it. "Hmmmm... Well, if she tries to purge you, we're going to stop her. Because you're our friend."<br><br>"And... I'm sure Takashi-senpai will cure you. It might take a while, but you can be patient, right? One day, he'll fix you. Then... you'll be amazing. And there's probably a lot of vampire hunters. We won't let you get hurt. You're one of our group. And Takashi never lets us get really hurt. But if you're really worried about it, we could like... practice against each other more? I need to work on my glaive work anyway..."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:94|Norie Okana (94)}} has posed:'''<br>Norie Okana frowns and closes the dream diary. "This is going to take a longer moment. I think I remember. Something, but..." she trails off as she gives a soft sigh at Firely. "I sure hope it won't come down to that." she says as she settles down a little.<br><br>"I know. I know. But. I'm always prepared for the worst case scenario here." she says sheepishly. "Good things rarely happen to me, you know." she says silently. "This here. Was the only good thing I've had and now it's moving to be under some .... some ''witch'' who blows stuff up when she isn't happy!?" she says.<br><br>"Yeah let's..do that. Practice more." she says. She closes her book.<br><br>"I could use a donut. You want a donut?" she asks, as she motions along. "While these guys work on moving everything?" she asks.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:39|Hotaru Tomoe (39)}} has posed:'''<br>Firefly nodded, giving the glaive a spin before lifting her arm up and resting it on her shoulder. "Yeah! I wanna get donuts! And... don't worry, Norie-senpai. I know... things might be bad, and sometimes... it might feel like good things can't happen."<br><br>"... I used to think that. But then I met Takashi-senpai. If anyone can make sure good things happen to you, he can. And we're not going to let anyone hurt you. Besides, now we have Mami-senpai too!"<br><br>"... But yeah... Beryl's stupid. And you shouldn't have to work for someone who's dumb. And she's mega dumb. A big dumby head... cause she's dumb. Lets go get donuts and then practice and then we can see if they're done moving the stuff into the office of the dumb lady's division..."<br><br>Firefly, at least, did not like Beryl. Cause Beryl broke their stuff. And she was so rude.<br> <br>
