Sonico is Sorry [video and action]

[sonicosuper]

 [video]

*Sonico appears to be in some kind of bar or nightclub. Anyone who recognises the place will know that she's grsbbed herself a seat all alone at the Hangar Queen. She isn't dressed for a fun night out, nor does she look especially happy*

The thing is...

*As she starts to speak, she actually just seems downright miserable*

That's not the kind of woman I am. To anyone I met, or anyone I saw... I promise you. I'm a better person. I really am.

*She drops her gaze as she keeps trying to convince herself, and takes a drink from her bottle of beer*

And Mobius - he - He's a good man. He's a wonderful man. We all said and did things - I - Please. He is a good, good man. Forgive him for the actions that he did not fully realise he was committing...

*Then she stares away at some unknown spot and is too slow at wiping her eyes, a few tears escaping and splashing down her cheeks*

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.

[Action]

For anyone wanting to find her, or anyone already in the Hangar Queen, Sonico is that girl sitting on her own, half way through one of those buckets of beers that are supposed to be shared with several friends.

[Even with the music playing in the club, it isn't hard for Gale to overhear (and see) Sonico in the corner. He isn't the one who served her that absurd amount of beer, but he is the one to bring over some ice water and a few snacks for her before dropping into the booth seat across from her.]

Talk to me, doll. That face and that amount of drink has got me worried. [He nods at the water.] And make sure to drink that too.

*Seeing Gale doesn't make her look any happier. If anything, it seems to bring fresh tears to her eyes, but she's quicker at using her sleeve to wipe these ones away. She looks at him and shakes her head. There's a few moments where she stares at the table before she sniffs and begins to speak*

I messed up, Gale... I really messed up. I don't know how - I didn't mean to -

Deep breaths, kid. Take it slow.

[He leans back in his seat and folds his arms, all while Mareep comes over to the tableside and looks up at the two curiously.]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume this had somethin' to do with the past week, yeah?

[sonicosuper]

*After rubbing her eyes again, Sonico swallows and nods, then takes a long drink of her beer as she calms herself down. She appears to have forgotten about that water there*

I wasn't myself... I - I mean...I was but I. I really truly wasn't me.

This place made a lot of people act weird. I know you're a good person.

You weren't even too bad then.

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico just slowly shakes her head and looks at the bottle of beer in her hand*

I was mean. I was horrid. I was...strange.

Re: Video

[nrgsvr]

A lot of us were different.

I think my alternate self might've been the better person.

[sonicosuper]

Really...? How so?

[ He's really not in the mood to be social, but ignoring Sonico's misery is a little more than Cassian can manage even while wallowing in his own. ]

Sonico... [ His voice is soft, far softer than normal. ] I'm sorry, too.

I know you're a good person.

[ And Mobius is in prison? What the hell?]

[sonicosuper]

*No, Cassian, don't be so gentle and speak so softly - it's making her eyes wet. She looks at him sadly for a moment before lowering her eyes again*

What happened to us all...?

[captain_by_the_book]

[ And you, don't fight with tears, it makes his own eyes burn, too. ]

We've all become people we would be ashamed of.

[sonicosuper]

How?

*Uh oh. There are more tears now and they threaten to spill*

H-how did that happen...? I want it to go away...all this knowing how horrible we've been...

[he hasn't met this girl before, but she looks emotionally compromised. he spotted others reacting this way too... was it possible that the effects of whatever was changing people was being reverted? he observes at first, but then he realizes even though he hasn't met her before, he...should probably say something.]

Try not to let it hit you so hard.

[the keyword being try, he realizes as she took a drink]

You weren't the only one. Pretty sure most people would get that.

[video]

[sonicosuper]

*While he observes, Sonico just takes a few long drinks of her beer but setting the bottle on the table. When he speaks, her eyes lift to his*

I know. I know... But still... I'm so...ashamed.

*And now she's saying all this to someone she hasn't met and that makes things worse*

[video]

[liveandforgive]

Well... It is what it is. [he shrugs, noticing how much Sonico has gone through. hopefully the bartender was responsible. drinking when you were depressed... he's been there.] You got what you needed to say off your chest.

...

Don't forget to drink water. [he's no bartender, nor is he Tifa. but he hoped she could get it out of her system. sometimes people needed to do this.]

[video]

[sonicosuper]

It is... It is what it is. I've got it off my chest.

*Said in a rather flat tone. She drained the rest of her beer before sighing heavily and pulling a glass of water toward her*

That means... everything will be okay now...? Doesn't it...?

[moviemagic]

Was this because of the strange things I saw going on with people acting crazily different?

If so it's not really something you could control. This world seems to make it a habit of doing things that make people feel guilty but I am positive the people here will be forgiving.

[sonicosuper]

I suppose... There were a lot of us who were really quite out of sorts.

*Sonico nods slowly without looking at the camera*

I can only hope so...

[moviemagic]

I believe so if what I've seen on the feeds gives any indication.

[om_nom_namur]

Y' in a talkin' mood or y' gonna stonewall me? I got a few minutes if y' need a good ear.

[Video]

[sonicosuper]

*Let her just look at him with those big sad eyes of her for a moment or two*

Talking is good... It's hard. But it's good...

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

[Namur tilts his ear toward the camera.]

Well I ain't gonna drag it outta y', sweetheart.

[ Video ]

[bright_imperius]

I think a lot of people weren't acting like themselves, you know?

I'm sure most people won't hold that sort of thing against you.

[ Video ]

[sonicosuper]

*Sonico just keeps her eyes on the table as she nods her head slowly*

I really hope not...

[ Video ]

[bright_imperius]

And ... what you did ... it wasn't really that bad, either.

I mean. Considering.

[ He looks like he's feeling rather badly for her. ]
