Freezing Mall! (Ami and Haruka thread)

[Anastasia]

Quickly inspecting Artemis, you can see that he looks alright. A bit cold, though. Haruka is just working her way out of the slackening storm, a bit of ice having formed on her fuku.

"C-coming..." she grins, as she steps out of the circle and into the relatively warm air here.

"Thanks, Ami," Artemis smiles at you again. "Can't believe we got so involved that we let that trap get us..."

Viluy, meanwhile, after a momentary hesitation, darts over to Haruka.  Supporting her the moment she reaches her, "Haruka, are you alright," she asks, already starting to rub away the ice on the front of Uranus' Senshi uniform.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles softly, rubbing his upper arms lightly and working her way down to restore some of his circulation. "It's all right. It happens to the best of us, even when we are paying attention." she assures him. "How do you feel?"

[Anastasia]

HIs arms are a bit on the cold side, even to the touch. "Yeah, but...." he frowns, annoyed with himself. "I'm fine, Ami. Haruka was in there longer than me..."

Turning to Haruka and Viluy, "I think she'll be okay, though. She's tougher than whatever Celcia hit us with."

If nothing else...

[Bean Bandit]

Ami glances up. "Viluy's looking after her." she replies, with a vaguley bemused expression, which melts into a smile. "So I'll look after you. Just hold still a second." she adds, massaging his hands and arms quickly. "This cold isn't good for you, either, no matter how long you were in it."

[Liddo-kun]

"Never been better," Haruka tells Viluy wryly.  "Though now I know what a frozen vegetable feels like..." she grumbles out.

Haruka grabs Viluy's hands to stop her ministrations, giving her a reassuring look.  "I'm okay," she tells her, then on recieving a somewhat skeptical look in reply, "Really."

"Besides," Haruka begins, her eyes growing a bit more firm at that, "We have an appointment with an ice wench to keep, and we wouldn't want to keep her waiting now, do we?"

Haruka pauses slightly, "But seeing as how we had trouble getting a hold of each other through one floor..." Haruka trails off, "I'm not holding much hope that we can get a hold of the others with the communicator," she finishes with a frown.

Turning to regard Ami now, "Which means you'll have to handle dialing for backup with that Senshi Mental Network if we butt heads against something beyond us."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami looked up from where she was trying to encourage circulation in Artemis' arms, and smiled. "I can handle that, but you don't need to worry. I told Professor Tomoe where we were going before I left, and the twins are keeping an eye on things. If we get into serious trouble, there are people watching out for us."

[Anastasia]

Viluy nods, though still keeps a careful eye on you. If anything, she whispers to you, "Don't let that happen again, Haruka. You worried me!" Giving your arm a final rub, she withdraws her touch, letting her arms hang at her side.

"And I'm looking forward to that part," Artemis butts in, patting Ami's hand absently as he begins to rise to his feet. "The ghosts of the past like her should stay there."

[Liddo-kun]

Haruka relaxes somewhat at Ami's words, some worry abating with the revelation.  Though the issue of not having an alternative to the communicator did rankle her some... at any rate.

A smile is the only thing Haruka gives Viluy by way of acknowledgement, patting her on the shoulder.  The concern was appreciated and rather cute, really, but...

I can't really promise her something I can't keep....  Something like that is par for our appointed occupation, after all.  It's bound to happen again, and again, and again....  Guh.

And lastly, she turns her attention to the somewhat rude, overbearing, annoying, grating... Mau, and smirks at the truth in his words.

So, you have plans of unleashing some feline fists of fury?  Haruka mentally quips.  She wanted to jab Artemis a few times verbally, but thinking better of it, she shoots, the now man, a grin instead.

"We've burned enough time," Haruka begins, heading towards the direction of the escalators, "Let's get to the first floor, clean up this mess, and go home."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, standing as well, and following after Artemis and Haruka. "Next time I suggest a little investigation, I'd like someone to tie me up and slap me until I come to my senses..." she murmurs under her breath.

[Anastasia]

"Right," Artemis nods to Haruka, as Viluy rises herself. "The sooner we're done, the sooner we can get out this damn cold." At that, he rubs his arms again, sighing.

Viluy gives Haruka a worried smile, but nods. "Sooner we finish..." she muses glancing down below, where hopefully Celcia waits...

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles a little at Artemis. "Next time, you'll listen when I suggest warmer clothing?" She teases gently over her shoulder.

[Anastasia]

Looking at Am instead of at his cold arms, "I think you're right, Ami-chan," he murmurs, agreeing with you rather agreeably this time.  He stops a moment, turning to Ami. "Can I borrow your disguise pen a moment?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami blinks, then smiles slowly, and agreeably reaches into her subspace pocket, and retrieving and handing Artemis the pen. "Sure."

[Anastasia]

Taking it with cold fingertips, "Ami, what's the command phrase for it," he asks, holding the pent with number digits.

[Bean Bandit]

"The phrase 'Mercury Disguise Power' is the activation phrase, then it works much like Usagi's pen. Just tell it what you want." Ami replies, bemusedly pondering a way to remotely control the disguise pen herself, watching Artemis as they walk.
