Taking another deep breath to calm herself down, Iris smiled softly before hugging onto Zero softly. "...And I'm overjoyed to be back, Zero.."

⠀ So, in the end, Zero decided to focus on what he did know — how he felt. “I’m not going to pretend I understand what’s happening,” he admitted gently. “But I’m just . . . glad I get to see you again.” ⠀

(I swear this has nothing to do with what apparently happened earlier. I've just been playing through Xenoblade 2 again.)

Slowly, she takes a deep breath to try and calm herself down..it's only working a little bit but it's enough for her to speak. "I-I'm sorry Zero...I thought I'd be ready to see you again but I guess my emotions had other plans. ...I don't know how I'm back, I know I should be gone.."

“Hey, hey! Iris, what’s wrong?!” he asked urgently, searching her face for some indication of what was happening. “Talk to me!”

That left her a little bit worried. "Just don't do anything reckless alright, Subaru?"

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · 14h ago

"Ehehe, and I just thought of an appropriate way to do it given its almost halloween!"

"Well, I wouldn't blame him for acting surprised. Given the work the Maverick Hunters do, there aren't exactly human operatives. Though by showing him what you can do, that should be plenty of proof right there.."

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · 15h ago

"I've been doing alright myself, managed to surprise a rookie hunter about being a human maverick hunter. He'd still in disbelief and wants proof."

"It's a..long story anyway, it's wonderful to meet you Axl, my name is Iris..I actually worked with the Hunters as a navigator during the Erasure incident years ago. It was my first mission too and even though things went well, I was super nervous even if I tried not to show it.."

Hunters," he guesses out loud, perfectly comfortable making his own assumptions. "Hasn't changed that much, probably! I don't really know from what point you were in here; I'm pretty new myself. Name's Axl. Yours?"

"Oh hello Subaru, I'm doing quite well actually and what about you?"

Subaru.@theshootingstar.bsky.social · 16h ago

"Good morning Ms.Iris, how are you doing today?"

"You..could say that yes. I've been gone for quite some time so I'm trying to get used to my new surroundings." She said with a smile. Even an half-truth like that hurt her inside but explaining the actual truth especially to someone she just met didn't feel quite right.

"Hey, can't complain! Got some good training in, beat a couple'a Mavericks... Are you new here?" <- Oblivious.

The reploid girl couldn't help but chuckle softly at the other's enthusiasm. "Why hello to you as well, how has your morning been so far?"

— 𝐀𝐗𝐋 .ᐟ@copyaxl.bsky.social · 16h ago

"helloooo! good morning!!!"

She attempted to keep a calm look on her face for a brief moment before she slowly began to break down emotionally. "Z-zero I..I don't..I'm.." She slowly fell to the ground, her body shaking, making noise as if she was crying yet no tears fell. Poor girl was not ready for this in the slightest.

⠀ Iris was dead. She has been for years. There was no reason for her to be standing there. But no matter how long he stared, she refused to disappear. “This is . . . this can’t be,” he murmured. ⠀

She noticed and slowly began to approach before stopping and hesitating. Truthfully, she dreaded this moment. How could she explain this, she didn't even have an answer for it. She should be dead..she's BEEN dead for years and yet here she is, part of a world she's barely starting to understand.

“. . .” No. He must be hallucinating. He didn’t have time for this. With that, he turned and walked away.

"Goooooood morning!"

She noticed the excessive seasoning but she's going to leave it be for now. If Shimmer wants to help then they'll both see how this goes. "And I appreciate the help.."

“When have I ever overdone it, I’m a good cook.” And shes just seasoning some meat, she’s putting a lot on there. “Besides, you, dad, fire mom and Mio tend to cook a lot, so thought I’d help out.”

On the one hand, she's aware of Shimmer's..results when it comes to cooking but on the other hand, it's her sister. It'd be wrong to just tell her no flat out. "Alright sis, you can help..just don't overdo it with the ingredients alright?"

𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫@myth-splitter.bsky.social · last mo.

It’s better for Glimmer to cook than for Shimmer to try… “Ooh? Need a hand Glimmer?” … and she’s already pulling ingredients out…

With a calm look on her face, it seems Glimmer is spending some time making breakfast. Truthfully, she only really dabbled in cooking every now and then though so far, it looked..good. Not amazing but not terrible either.

"Woah..so your power is changing size. Seems pretty neat to have.."

"Uh sure go ahead.."

Ribbon, the Friendly Sylveon & Friends@ribbonsylveon.bsky.social · last mo.

Nice to meet you, Glimmer! :3 Would you like to see any of my powers? :3

She..really doesn't get it but she's dealt with plenty of strange things herself. "Uh good to meet you Ribbon, you can call me Glimmer."

Ribbon, the Friendly Sylveon & Friends@ribbonsylveon.bsky.social · last mo.

I'm a Sylveon! A species of Pokémon! :3 Pokémon are magical creatures that come in all sorts of shapes and sizes! :3 The name's Ribbon! :3

"Morning.."

"...I'll admit, it feels nice seeing Shim get all this attention. I mean hell, we all did at some point. Anyway, if you mess with her or hurt her, I'll kick your ass."
