Stasis (Natsume thread with others)

[Halbarad]

Usagi quickly turns her attention to the prostrate girl, kneeling by her side. "Ami-chan?" she says, looking to see if it's really Ami waking up or just stirring again, like Artemis had described before.

[Anastasia]

Her energy appears to be rising, as if she was indeed waking. She stirs once more, breathing deeply and rapidly, as her eyes open...

Ami - as you race to the light, reality catches up to you. You find yourself huffing for air, as hazy images appear. Usagi...Natsume....Ptilol...Cyprine....

[Bean Bandit]

"Hahhh...." Ami gasps, straining to bring the images of her friends into sharper focus, panting softly with exertion. At the sound of the voice of the lunar princess, Ami looks over at the blonde tiredly. "'s'me...Usagi-chan."

[Halbarad]

The blonde smiles, taking Ami's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. "Glad to hear it, Ami-chan," she says quietly. "How are you feeling?"

[Midnight Sun]

"Thank God, you're finally awake," Natsume said with utmost relief. "I just hope it'll stay this way..."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami just shakes her head and sighs. "I...don't know. I've made some progress, but..." trailing off, she examines her blue arms for the talisman, and checks in her subspace pocket.

[Anastasia]

Your Talisman appears at your call, in your hands easily enough.

[Midnight Sun]

"Don't try and strain yourself," Natsume says. "You've come this far, no need to burn yourself out now."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smiles, a bit wearily, and looks up at Usagi and Natsume, and nods to the latter. " I won't. But I've dealt with one, now the other is all that's left."

[Midnight Sun]

"Dealt with one? What do you mean?" Natsume asks, concerned. "I...Is there something else besides Celcia?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami shakes her head, smiling an holding up her talisman. "Not anymore." she explains, smiling softly. "I'm a bit tired, but I'm really okay." she assures the dark haired girl.

[Halbarad]

"Just take it easy, Ami," Usagi replies, smiling at the sight of the Talisman. Just to be sure, she examines Ami's aura to make sure that the mystic object is no longer entangled with Ami's own aura.

[Anastasia]

It isn't, mostly, but it's still terribly messy.

[Midnight Sun]

"A...Ah, yeah," Natsume says simply, smiling at seeing Ami's smile. Here she was fighting hard against such a malevolent force, while she had run away simply because she was having a crisis of faith. 'Ami, you're alot stronger than I am, moreso than you probably think.'

[Bean Bandit]

"Um. Celcia worries me..." Ami begins, rather awkwardly, wanting to know what Usagi, Natsume and the twins might make of what she's seen. "I...discovered how to look into her memories...She might be suffering from mental trauma."

Ami bites her lip. "On top of that, the circumstances under which she aquired her more advanced powers...criminally insane comes to mind. I'm not sure I'm equipped to handle what's coming." she ventured timidly, self-doubt peeking though once again.
