Mesori is not dead, people! Until Mesh, Mid, and co. meet up with the Flame Dancers, there's not much to do. We do have a plotline, however:
Kuro and Meshy are assigned to watch over the gypsies, and in the meantime, Meshy gets wounded (a burn, along the side of the stomach), and Midori just happens to be there. And from there, love will blossom.
Mid and I have been keeping our minds busy meanwhile with an IM RP. Here's it so far.
Meshy: *bangs head repeatedly* I hate this.
Midori: *sigh* I do too. But don't hurt yourself over it...
Meshy: I wish I could stay...
Midori: You could stay!
Meshy: I don't know if I'd be happy...
Midori: You.. wouldn't be happy...?
Meshy: I don't know if I'd be content, more like.
Midori: You really want to go, don't you.
Meshy: I feel more than obligated! The Earth Kingdom's my country, and I want to protect it.
Midori: I... understand, I suppose. I guess I'm just being selfish. Not wanting you to leave.
Meshy: I wish there was another way...that we could both be happy and satisfied. If only not for this war!
Midori: It's so awful! If only it never had happened. All the pain.. It's ripping so many people apart...
Meshy: Which is why unity is so important...
Midori: Unity in a country? Then why do I feel like I'm just drifting away from everyone? First the group is separated and now you're leaving..
Meshy: I wish it were not so...but, perhaps, you could give me an appropriate good-bye?
Midori: A goodbye? It hurts to even think it. But I guess we'll have to part sometime..
Meshy: Please..don't speak. *kisses her* (Sorry. since it's just IM RPing, thought it would be fun to throw that in).
Midori: *baffled, but smiles shyly and blushes* I...
Meshy: *on the lips*
Midori: *wraps arms around his neck and relaxes before pulling away*
Meshy: *blushing slightly* Aw..did it have to end so soon?
Midori: *reddens* This is already hard enough, Mesheiko...
Meshy: Yeah, even so..*sigh*
Midori: *grins slightly and brushes her lips lightly against his* Aw.. Toughen up. You're going to have to go a long time without kissing anyone.
Meshy: Then why not stock up?
Midori: *grins* Are you sure it wouldn't make the long wait worse?
Meshy: Well....
Midori: Well...?
Meshy: Err...yes...but...
Midori: I'd hate to make you suffer... but I suppose if you don't mind..
Meshy: I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mind.
Midori: Well then... *wraps arms around neck and kisses softly*
Meshy: *happy*
Midori: *laughs softly and lays head on shoulder* *sighs*
Meshy: It's a shame we have to part..
Midori: Yes... It's sickeningly unfair. I'm going to miss you so much..
Meshy: And I you.
Midori: *hugs tightly*
Meshy: *returns*
Midori: *sighs* Do I have to let go?
Meshy: No..
Midori: I'll have to sometime, sadly.
Meshy: I suppose so..but not now.
Midori: *smiles* You're so sweet, Mesheiko.
Meshy: Thank you.
Midori: Hm.. *continues to embrace*
Meshy: You know, you could keep Banshee if you wanted.
Midori: He would be of more use to you, I'm used to walking. And I don't know what my parents would say if I brought home an emu..
Meshy: *imitating Midori* Oh, I met a soldier and we became friends, and we kissed, and he kind of gave me his emu..
Midori: *laughs* They'd never let me out of the house again.
Meshy: I would think. Do you...do you think your parents would arrange a marriage for you while I'm gone?
Midori: *tenses* A.. marriage? They've never spoken of anything.. I don't think they would.. but... I don't know..
Midori: Heh.. They couldn't bribe anyone in my village..
Meshy: *hangs head* Money has astonishing power, Midori.
Midori: *determinedly* My parents aren't that wealthy, and they aren't that greedy.
Meshy: But men are.
Midori: You're not like that.
Meshy: It could happen though..just tell your parents "No, I'm waiting for my soldier!" Midori: I will!
Meshy: Good!
