Scientific woes and discoveries (Ami thread)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, taking some comfort in the Professor's...professional attitude. Settling herself on the table, Ami nods and closes her eyes. "I'm ready." she reports quietly.

[Anastasia]

There is a flash of light as Professor Tomoe merely nods, a feeling of being slightly warmed...then it's over within a few seconds. Not even tingly, simply functional. "Stay there while I analyse the basic readings. If anything is going badly off course right now, this should raise a flag."

Indeed, he doesn't even look up as he examines the first readings.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami doesn't even bother to nod. It's nice to be lying down...she feels as though she hasn't gotten any rest in weeks...so much so that despite her state of dress and the seriousness of the situation, she finds herself drifting off a little...

[Anastasia]

Like this, it's easy to drift off...off and away. Vivid, non-linear and surreal images assault your fading conciousness, as your unconciousness rears it's head. Like momentary photographs that your aware mind cannot comprehend, they flash in a hectic montage of images as you fade away...

...

....

"Ami," Professor Tomoe calls, raising his voice slightly from where he is. "...Ami."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami snaps awake, disoriented briefly by the utter peculiarity of the images...which are fading from her memory even as she tries to recall them. It's like trying to grab hold of smoke.

Finally re-orienting herself on Professor's voice, Ami blinks, shaking her head. "Yes?"

[Anastasia]

"The initial scan doesn't show anything catasrophic occuring," Professor Tomoe confirms with a slightly relieved smile. "Your Talisman and the energy around you and it will require a fair bit of work to analyse, however.

But regardless, I think you're safe to go home for the night. I'll go over these results with what I get from Miss Nakahime." He pauses a moment, consiidering. "I've cancelled classes for tomorrow, but would you come in around noon? I can have Eudial take you here underground to avoid the transportation issues."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles wearily and nods. "Alright." Sleeping until noon tomorrow? Sounds like a plan... She sits up, perching on the edge of the table for a brief moment, nodding to the professor's request. "I'll try and be awake by then." she agrees wearily.

[Anastasia]

"Don't push yourself," he says with a half smile. "I'll be here all day if you need to rest longer." With that, he moves away from the machine. "Eudial will have to come this way to take the others to her car, so if you like, you can stay here and I'll let her know to stop in for you."

Artemis turns back around, nodding after he sees Ami. "That's probably a good idea," he agrees.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods agreement with Artemis, slipping off the table and padding over to the neatly folded clothes she'd left behind. Faint echoes of her earlier, conflicted feelings still echo through her, enough to make her blush and hurry to get dressed once again, but they're dimmer now, somehow, as exhaustion truly begins to take hold...

[Anastasia]

Once Ami is mostly dressed and while Professor Tomoe excuses himself from the large lab, Artemis turns back around. "Go ahead and lay back down," he offers, coming over to you. "I'll stay up and make sure we get home.

You could use the rest," he concludes. "This feels up there with end of the Dark Kingdom for exhaustion," he notes, yawning slightly himself. "Go, go, go, go."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles faintly. "Want to wait 'til we get home, but I'm too tired to argue..." she agrees, climbing back up into the bed. "Thank you, Artemis..." she murmurs, closing her eyes and feeling the pull of sleep almost immediately...

[Anastasia]

Artemis simply nods. "Sleep well, Ami-chan."

As the girl falls into sleep quicker than Usagi falls into Rei's arms or an ice cream sundae, Artemis watches her. A unrestrained, honest smile paints his face.

"Good work, Ami. Fine work..."

OOC - And Ami rests. You'll be mentioned in the other thread, but you're resting for the rest of the afternoon OOC at least. I'll get your things going a bit later once we organize everything.
