Good morning - Things begin again. (Ami thread)

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smile and nods sheepishly. "I'm sorry for not warning you, but...I told her about yesterday this morning, and invited her to come along..." she shuffles uneasily.

[Anastasia]

"It's fine," he shakes his head, giving Sakura a polite smile. "Welcome to Mugen, Miss Mizuno." Rising, he even half bows. "I assume Ami has told you of her circumstances today?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami flashes back to the discussion in the apartment. That's one way to put it. She thinks guiltily and looks to Artemis while Professor Tomoe talks to her mother.

"How is Miss Nakahime doing?" she asks her Mau softly.

[Anastasia]

"I'm aware," Mom comments, while Artemis nods. "She's not going to die," he hedges. "She should be waking up in a few days, hopefully."

"Good, then. Ami, I want to take another scan of you with the readings I got from Miss Nakahime as a control data. With these, I believe I can quickly determine if your body suffered any of the effects she did."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shoots Artemis a searching look. That response was...less that soothing. Finally she smiles a little and nods, taking what she can get, and turns to the professor.

'Effects she did'? That means...the cell damage wasn't reversed when Celcia left the woman...and something happened...Oh dear...

"All right." Ami nods, glancing at the scan table she dimly remembered from yesterday. "The same scan?"

[Anastasia]

"Ah..." Professor Tomoe actually pauses, before nodding. "Yes, Ami. If you would..." he says, giving your mother an apologetic look. "I'm sure as a doctor you understand how clothing can interfere with certain machine and their abilitiy to function," he says evenly enough.

Artemis just politely turns his back, giving you privacy.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami clamps her lip between her teeth to keep from giggling at that. Artemis, while he talked like Haruka, had a protective streak a mile long, and Professor Tomoe was too much of a gentleman for that kind of thing. She began undressing, and neatly folding her clothes as she went, until she was undressed, and without prompting, eased herself up onto the scanning table as modestly as she was able to while clad only in her underwear.

He even said I was too young, once... Ami reflects, mixed feelings at that memory.

[Anastasia]

Sakura nods after Professor Tomoe explains and Artemis turns, giving her stripping daughter a single glance. "I suppose so," she admits, turning her full gaze on Ami and giving Professor Tomoe a few glances.

"Ready when you are, Ami," Professor Tomoe calls, then pauses. "Oh, and make sure that you are wearing your Talisman. I wanted readings for that as well."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, raising her arm to show the bracelet still encircling her wrist. I don't dare take it off until I understand what I did...and whether Celcia will appear without warning...

[Anastasia]

"Good," Professor Tomoe says, though is interrupted. "Wait a moment...that bracelet? Why are you calling it a Talisman," Sakura interrupts, noting the capital T, so to speak.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles a little. "It's....not normal jewelry." she explains cautiously. "While we were on Senshi business, we came across a number of items that had...applications to our powers, in certain ways...for example, Mako-chan got a weapon. A mace."

Leaving out as many of the distracting details as possible, Ami gestures to the Talisman. "This was mine...originally, it simply enhanced my senshi powers...I have control over water and ice, to a limited degree. But Yesterday, I used it's power to bind Celcia..."

[Anastasia]

Professor Tomoe nods. "Miss Mizuno, if you please, we can go into details shortly later," he insists, glancing up.

To this, your mother nods and bows her head. "Of course, Ami's well being should come first. By all means, go on."

And thus, you feel the slightest light, of scanning....it lasts a bit longer than last time, perhaps.

"That's it, Ami. Go ahead and get dressed again."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods, sitting up and slipping off the table, and padding over to her clothes, dressing herself quickly.

Once she's once again covered, Ami approaches her mother quietly, wanting to ask how she's doing, but not having the nerve...speaking hasn't gone very well for her, today.

[Anastasia]

"It shouldn't take long for the computer to analyse the readings, perhaps an half hour. Until then...." Professor Tomoe addresses all of you, "Perhaps a more restful and relaxing area would be advisable as we discuss this and other pertinent matters. If you wish, Miss Mizuno," he defers at the end, politely.

Ami must take after her father to a degree...though, it's not all bad.

Artemis nods once, expression slipping as he turns.  "We should discuss Miss Nakahime," he notes.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami nods at that. From what they've said, the woman they saved didn't come out of it completely unscathed. She looks up to her mother expectantly, unconsciously rubbing her fingers together as she looks up.
