We need to work deeper

[waterfell]

Mercury is in a vast, open room made of marble with elegantly carved pillars and supports, that all could have come from a temple in ancient Greece. But instead of an altar, pride of place is given to a massive supercomputer. The terminal and viewscreens take up the entire far wall, where she gives them her full attention.

Her eyes barely move as she studies the computer intently, scrolling through lines of code and occasionally taking down notes. There! She sees exactly how to fix that problem now, one that's been nagging at her for what seems like weeks. But after long enough, her head starts to droop over the console and the words on the screen blur into her thoughts, and then into darkness as she falls asleep.

Ami wakes with a start. Nighttime shadows remind her of how long she's been sitting in this chair, with a can of tea leaves and a hot cup of strongly brewed tea to keep her company while she works through the long hours. The marble hall becomes a comfortable room, modern and spacious, with heavily-laden bookshelves and tropical fish. The massive supercomputer is none other than her laptop. With a pang of irritation, she realizes she can't remember the answer that was so clear a moment ago in her dream. She sits up straight, and goes back to her task right away.

Her eyes barely move as she studies the computer intently, scrolling through lines of code and occasionally taking down notes...

(ooc: since it's a dream in a dream, people can feel free to choose which to catch her at/flit through both)

[Kanda didn't like being flustered that way, he couldn't ignore the fact this was somewhat of a date. They were making out, after all. That wouldn't be a reason to kill her. He had to find something else.]

That's none of your business, you shouldn't be eavesdropping!

[Posterity, Mina. Not posterior. Posterior is what you landed on a few moments ago. A part of Ami's mind can't help noticing.

A girl who mistakes her words, and a senshi, shouldn't be trying to ridicule her. She smiles brightly, falsely, and something glitters in her too-dark eyes.]

Since you had to come alone instead, Venus, I'll give you some advice, if you want!

PFFFHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHA.

oh god her sides hurt]


Honey-- Ami, no. It's too much. I can't.

[Kanda could sense that was a little uncalled for from the blond. He turned to look at Ami and then back at Minako.]

What did you expect from a whore, Ami. You can't teach women like her. If she knows any better she'll get lost.

[A different her would have told Kanda just how inappropriate that was, and defended Mina immediately. At another time, she might have at least said that was going too far. But right now, she's hurt angry over Mina making a mockery of her.

Ami consciously makes sure her smile doesn't drop; but instead of intervening, she simply lets the other two argue. And she watches it, to all appearances interested and amused.]
