step one ❚ a flight on clipped wings ( video )

( the only reason you're seeing this feed is because lenalee has accidentally fallen on the device. she hasn't got a clue that it's been turned on and that it's currently filming the scenario before her -

which is a family room of sorts with the npc owners of said family room standing all around her, a mixed expression of surprise, disbelief and wtf-are-you-doing-here on their faces. above them, a great hole in their ceiling, much thanks to her activating her boots midair. not that it helped, but at least it missed light fixture. )

A, ah - ( nervous chuckle from the person who's lying on top of a ruined center table, whose usually prim uniform is now covered in dust and debris. ) - I'm terribly sorry to barge in. I usually use the door and I, I promise I'm not a thief -

( hastily said, with hands raised even.

she looks around, giving the device a glimpse of her briefly panic-stricken face, then turns back to the house owners. ) - But may please I borrow your phone?

( she just smiles at that. that could've been her fate had the church not been so crazy. )

There are things where I come from that only a few people can do and one of those is being "out in the field". I don't mind though, if it means being able to protect people.

Why am I not surprised? [ jesus, children and their hero-complex. ] I've worked kids who look or are your age.

[steelettos]

( why ... )

Er, I guess it's the same for every place or world you go to? Zealous adults who dislike dirtying their hands for the sake of their God.

( and then she realized she's talking to an adult. ) S, sorry. No offense.

[medicos]

[ oh, a god, she says. ]

Don't know a lot of people who still believe in God, kid. Certainly not the ones I know and work for. [ then again, what does he know about other people's religions? ] I don't think any overzealous man of God would ignore the presence of aliens on Earth, anyhow.

[steelettos]

( ha ha haaa )

I wouldn't think so as well. They're quite - ( gung-ho ) - dedicated to, er, protecting humanity.

[medicos]

Everyone has their excuses.

What's your name, kid?

[steelettos]

Oh! ( right she forgot to introduce herself... ) It's Lenalee. Lenalee Lee.

It's very nice to meet you.

[medicos]

Right, Ms. Lee.

If you're feeling unwell, don't hesitate to go to the hospital, even if it's something that seems negligible to you. It might not be. [ this is the of the man who knows better than to expect if she doesn't want to, but still extends the courtesy because that is his job. ] And for god's sake, try not to punch holes on rooftops again if you can help it.

[steelettos]

( aha aha aha )

Y, yes, sir. And thank you, I'll make sure to remember that. Although ...

( aaa how does she say it )

[medicos]

Although - ?

[steelettos]

It's not really counted if it's unintentional, right?

[medicos]

[ well, no, but - ]

Don't make excuses, kid. A hole in the roof is a goddamn hole in the roof.
