"Proposing? Don't get me wrong, you're definitely cute enough, but I'm just a friendly Kamen Rider that happened to be passing by," Saito said with a wide grin, letting go of the now-conscious Taiga's hand so that he could stand up and stretch for a bit. Being the one waiting in the infirmary at someone's bedside instead of the one who was injured was quite the strange experience for him, so he wasn't used to sitting in that leaning position for so long, every muscle along his back reinforcing that idea with screams of protest as he straightened up. "Name's Saito, by the way, but that's enough about me for now. Aren't you being rude to your friends? he continued, nodding in Ryuuji and Leo's direction. A random concerned comrade was always nice, but it was so much better to wake up with friends nearby when you ended up in medical care. The newcomer familiar would just stay quiet for now and let them catch up, content in the knowledge that there was plenty of time for proper introductions later. |

"She's always like that, you get used to it." Leo followed up Saito's comment with a slight chuckle. There were definitely a lot of questions that needed to be asked now, though Leo would let Taiga regain her bearings properly first. It was no good to bombard someone who was recovering in the infirmary with an entire interview, since while the short version of things explained enough, Leo was someone who always wanted all the facts. |

"Proposing? Don't get me wrong, you're definitely cute enough, but I'm just a friendly Kamen Rider that happened to be passing by," Saito answered with a chuckle, releasing his grip on her left hand. "She's always like that, you get used to it," added Leo unnecessarily. In fact, almost everything he said was added unnecessarily. It was one of the items on her laundry list of reasons why she didn't care for him. "Passing by...?" Ryuuji stepped closer to the bed--seriously, how was he able to walk if he couldn't touch things!?--and knelt at Taiga's bedside. "He's the one who brought you here after you...collapsed during the battle," Ryuuji filled in, careful about how exactly to describe what had happened to her since he couldn't tell how much she actually remembered. "Name's Saito, by the way, but that's enough about me for now. Aren't you being rude to your friends?" the swordsman finished, leaning back content to stay out of the potential reunion. If only he knew how wrong he was. Ryuuji was her partner, the one who was always there even when he wasn't and sometimes even when she wished he weren't. Leo... well. She wouldn't exactly call Leo Emmerich a 'friend'. As for how much she remembered... she remembered all of it. While normally some things as traumatic as what she had been put through would automatically trigger a defense mechanism to bury the memory under layers of amnesia, her trauma was as clear as day. Every single sight, sound and smell was vivid as if it were happening right in front of her. The second Ryuuji mentioned collapsing it all came rushing back so quickly that she retched, stopping just short of actually emptying the contents of her stomach right there in front of everyone. "I don't... have any friends." "That's not true, Taiga! Leo is your friend, right Leo? And I'm sure Saito-san would love to be your friend as well! Come on, don't be that way!" Taiga clenched her fists and snarled, not sure where her anger was going so she just sent it everywhere. "Tch. Friends with a murderer... that's a laugh." "Taiga... what are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb, Ryuuji. I killed her. She's dead and it's all because of me. And you want to say I have friends? Heh... don't make me laugh. I'd just end up killing them. Just like..N..Nayuki..." Ryuuji worriedly looked to Saito and Leo for help. He wasn't sure what she was on about and hoped that one of them had an idea. Either Saito because he had actually been there or Leo because... well, it was Leo! He always had an idea for everything! |

"Now, I might not have any idea who this Nayuki person is, but the only things you killed today were that Riotrooper clone that guy was using as a shield...and my shoulders," Saito said with a frown, not sure whether Taiga was going fishing for pity with the whole retching and snarling thing or she was legitimately upset, but either way it was confusing. If it was the former, there were definitely easier ways to get sympathy than having a complete mental breakdown...but if it was the latter, why did she feel so bad for destroying some random Dopant's clones? "Aibou's right, girlie. The only people that were there besides us were those weird-ass monsters, and the more of them gone, the better," came the harsh grating voice of the swordsman's ever-present companion over his shoulder, no doubt a little bit of a shock for the others in the infirmary, but there were slightly more important things to deal with for now. |

"Besides, I check on Niwa from time to time...Nayuki hasn't left the city at all, I don't see how she can be dead." if it was one thing Leo was useful for, is at least being an expert at making things, so something to monitor other worlds was no problem, though due to how things changed after the incident so he couldn't travel back to it. He wasn't actually there so he could only have Saito explain the first part really, still he continued to try to change the atmosphere. "Besides, you always try to kill me all the time. I haven't stopped calling you a friend just yet." |

"You're wrong! You're all blind!" Taiga yelled while shaking her head. "You didn't feel what I did! You didn't see it, you didn't feel her warmth fade away as she bled into your arms and stared into your eyes asking why!" Tears were already dripping down her cheeks despite how angry she sounded as she remembered the vivid scene yet again. "T-Taiga, I think what they're trying to say is that maybe... you were the one seeing things?" Ryuuji suggested, reaching out for her only to have her swivel about and turn her anger on him instead. "Ryuuji, you'd take their side over your master!? How do you know he's not the one who was seeing an illusion!?" she spat, stabbing an accusing finger in Saito's direction. It didn't appear she was going to believe fragile logic like that so easily after being exposed to an illusion as realistic as the Luna Dopant's. "And Leo, she's still a fresh corpse so of course you wouldn't have an idea. You've probably been too cooped up in that office to care." "Taiga!! How could you say something like that!?" Throwing the sheets aside Taiga slid off of the bed and wiped away the tears. "Never mind. I'll just leave... and go back to how I was. I don't need any of you to tell me what I am." Turning only her head around she glared daggers at her ethereal companion. "Especially not you." Ryuuji stared at her in shock, not sure what to say or do. He was frozen by her eyes and despite often being on sour terms with Taiga for one reason or another had never been so fully rejected. There was a sense that this time was not going to be like any other time Taiga had told him to 'go away'. This time he actually felt like disappearing. In fact... he already was. Ryuuji was starting to disappear feet-first. The contract was being broken. Tai..ga...? |

"Hold on just a damn minute here. You're brushing off your friends who're worried about you, and we're the ones who're delusional!? I apologise in advance for this, but..." Saito said in disbelief, trailing off as he walked over to where Taiga was now standing...and slapped her across the face with his left hand with a solid thwack that echoed around the room, certainly hard enough to get her attention but not really hard enough to cause any real injury. Usually, raising his hand against a lady in any situation was something completely repulsive and barbaric...but sometimes, it was the only way to get someone to think straight for a minute! "I hate to tell you this, but you're the only one who's blind here, so stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself! If there's even one thing I can do without messing up, it's keeping up with a fight! And there is no way in hell a coincidence like that could be anything but that cowardly asshole playing on your fears because we had him cornered! Besides, don't you think we would have noticed some random civilian walking into the middle of the fight when the rest of them were all running away!?" Edited by SgtXDNX, Jan 15 2012, 01:52 PM.

If it weren't for Saito already doing so, Leo would have already slapped Taiga right then and there. "So you think all I do is lounge around in my office all day?" Leo mused, pulling out an iPad from his lab coat pocket. "Do you have any idea of how long we've been trying to deal with those things? Do you?" it was a rare instance of him actually mad, though his voice remained calm. "Let's see..." he tapped the screen a few times and...managed to acquire footage from the fight at the mall. "So you fought this guy?" he held it out to emphasize the Luna Dopant briefly. "So you encountered something that fought using the Luna Gaia Memory..." three was already data on it thanks to Double's existence, so identifying it based on that alone made it easy. "I spend every waking moment finding ways to counter these bloody monsters, making sure I can help everyone in town so they stop spreading!" he continued. And with that, he went as far as to replay the footage of that exact moment. "It made a dummy out of his own minion! The entire Dopant's gimmick is working with illusions!" all he could do was prove the truth, he was holding back with the emotion for now...when he was serious, he was stuck that way. The fact he got the research all done in such a short time explained how serious he was. |

"Hold on just a damn minute here--" Saito began to say but Taiga didn't bother to give him the time of day let alone an audience. She just kept walking, opening the door to the infirmary and intending to walk straight out and find something to do. She didn't have a destination in mind, nor did she have an objective. She just needed to hurry up and be out of this damn place. Which was why she was oblivious to Saito making a beeline for her and stepping out to block her path. "Get the hell out of my--" SLAP!! Saito's hand struck her right cheek hard, turning her head left and leaving a bright red mark in the rough shape of his palm. Worse than the physical impact was the mental one, leaving her confused for a moment about what had just happened. When she regained her bearings it occurred to her that this boy had just signed a death warrant without even realizing it. Despite feeling the anger welling up into her fists she decided to at least give Saito the benefit of a warning. "How dare you--" she snarled, looking every bit the tiny tiger her name and reputation suggested. "I hate to tell you this, but you're the only one who's blind here, so stop feeling so damn sorry for yourself!" Saito shouted, cutting her off with even more volume, enough to rattle the infirmary door. Taiga wanted to stab him or at least yell back a retort but he didn't give her the chance. "If there's even one thing I can do without messing up, it's keeping up with a fight! And there is no way in hell a coincidence like that could be anything but that cowardly asshole playing on your fears because we had him cornered! Besides, don't you think we would have noticed some random civilian walking into the middle of the fight when the rest of them were all running away!?" He had her there. What... was Nayuki doing there, anyway? As far as Taiga knew she didn't have any sort of means to cross dimensions and had only appeared during the earlier crisis because their version of Niwa was one of the affected worlds. Now that the worlds had stabilized, wasn't she confined to that city? Taiga couldn't come up with an answer except to be in utter confusion. It was definitely Nayuki who she saw, was definitely warm blood all over her! Her mind couldn't let go of that fact no matter how ridiculous it sounded. It needed a more concrete reason. Such as, for instance, a logical explanation through scientific analysis. An analysis Leo Emmerich was all too eager to provide. "So you think all I do is lounge around in my office all day?" Leo asked rhetorically, pulling out an iPad from his lab coat. "Do you have any idea of how long we've been trying to deal with those things? Do you? Let's see..." he tapped the screen a few times and up came closed-circuit camera footage from the mall battle. "So you fought this guy?" Taiga could only respond with a simple "Yeah." "So you encountered something that fought using the Luna Gaia Memory..." three was already data on it thanks to Double's existence, so identifying it based on that alone made it easy. "I spend every waking moment finding ways to counter these bloody monsters, making sure I can help everyone in town so they stop spreading!" Leo continued, finishing by throwing up a clip from the very moment Zeronos struck the Riotrooper. The Riotrooper. The camera clearly showed it as one of the Luna dopant's minions and not the girl Taiga thought she had killed. "It made a dummy out of his own minion! The entire Dopant's gimmick is working with illusions!" The brown-haired loose cannon was dumbstruck. Faced with two men who were completely serious and who had assaulted her misgivings with logic Taiga was left with no choice. Her anger did not subside, but now it was no longer aimed at Leo or Saito. If anything she felt even more angry than she had since waking up from that nightmare! Unable to summon the Luna dopant to the infirmary she instead vented some of that molten anger by whirling about and punching the door so hard that it actually snapped free of its motorized hinges and fell with a loud bang to the floor. Her knuckles hurt but it felt good. "Ryuuji." Ryuuji looked up, no longer disappearing into a figment of everyone's imagination. "Taiga?" The grin on Taiga's face was pure ferocity. "I think you have my bokken. I'll be needing it." Though normally Ryuuji tried to talk Taiga out of unleashing her emotions on people this was one instance when she let her have her way. Though it wasn't clear how he managed to produce it Taiga's bokken appeared in Ryuuji's hands and was tossed her way for her to catch one-handed and sling behind her neck. "So, Leo. What's this spindly bastard up to? I need him to pay up for traumatizing me." Though she didn't turn around to actually face him her free hand gave a thumbs-up to the side. "And thanks, Saito. For waking me up. But if you ever do that again, you'll wish you never had hands." |

"Yeah, yeah, I get that one a lot. Now then, I believe we've got some work to do!" Saito replied with a grin of his own, eyebrows raised in awe of the tiny ball of fury standing in front of him. If Taiga could take the doors at Board HQ off their hinges with a single punch, there was no telling what she'd do when she found the Luna Dopant...and that was exactly what had him in such a good mood. There was no way in hell that the creepy yellow bastard was going to get away with attacking all those people, and worst of all, groping him while he was trying to fight it! Any punishment it recieved was definitely well-deserved, and if Saito had his way, he'd be there for all of it! "...what is it with you and the crazy ones?" "Shut it, you, unless you wanna get melted down into a codpiece." |

"Unfortunately the limits of our data on these people can only tell us where they are when the Gaia Memory is actually active." Leo said, though he was rather happy that Taiga was back to her old self. So while they couldn't do anything about the threat right now, there was something Leo could do himself now that everything was back to what he presumed was normality around BOARD. "Instead...." Leo left the room for a brief moment in order to return with a white box of sorts. Without being questioned, he opened the lid revealing a cake with a palmtop tiger on it. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY! TO TAIGA'S NEW CONVICTION!" What. |

Now, normally when Leo was being utterly useless Taiga would hit him and wander off to figure out what to do on her own. Usually that meant talking things over with Ryuuji and trying to find a trace of a time quake here or there. It was unfortunate that in cases such as this, time quakes were so generic that they could only round the search down to a dimension. Since the disturbance wasn't caused by an Anino and wasn't actually significantly altering the structure of the multiverse the abilities of Ryuuji and the ZeroLiner were useless. Instead she punched her right hand into her left palm, still unable to wipe the grin from her face. "Tch. So it's a waiting game, huh? Fine. Gives me time to think about just how I'm going to tear him limb from limb!" So much for feeling bad about being an ex-murderer. Well, though in this case the chances of actually removing the Luna dopant's limbs was slim considering he was all noodly and flexible. Leo walked past Taiga and Saito, retrieving a white box that was out in the hallway for some reason. With both the Familiar swordsman and palmtop tiger watching he popped the box open revealing an ornate cake adorned with a tiny ferocious-looking tiger character and the words 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIGER' on it. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY! TO TAIGA'S NEW CONVICTION!" "Ohhhh! That's really well-made, Leo! You'll have to share your techniques with me! That tiger is perfect!" Ryuuji exclaimed, of course more interested in the actual presentation than the cake itself. He had no need to eat but absolutely loved to cook. He and Leo often got along--albeit while he was using Taiga's body--so he loved that this was yet another thing they had in common. Taiga, on the other hand, wasn't as enthusiastic. "You...actually bothered to make something like this? Are you sure you don't just lay around in your office all day? You spelled my name wrong though, and it's not my birthday." "Taiga, would you mind if I borrowed you to taste it?" "I'll think about it." |

"Wow, that's pretty awesome! Why didn't anyone tell me when I started here that we got free cake!?" Saito cheered in amazement, not sure whether to be more surprised by the sudden appearance of the cake, or the fact that the deceptively lazy head honcho of BOARD was apparently Martha Stewart in disguise. Both of them were kind of shocking, to be honest. ...but what really got his attention was the tiny little tiger on top of the baked sweet. He got the whole Taiga/tiger thing, but why was it so damned tiny? It took another look at the recently released patient, but he had it! Looking at her for a moment and then looking down at his hands, Saito made a slight cupping motion with his fingers before breaking out in a wide grin. It all made sense now! "Ahahaha, I get it now! It's a palmtop tiger!" Oh dear. Thank god they were already in the infirmary, they probably wouldn't have to carry him very far. Edited by SgtXDNX, Jan 18 2012, 12:01 PM.

"Ahahaha, I get it now! It's a palmtop tiger!" As soon as the words left Saito's lips, the 'pommel' of Taiga's bokken slammed into his chin with such force that it would lift him from his feet a few centimeters, probably enough to screw up his balance if not outright knock him cold. Were it anyone else a surprise hit to the chin with a blunt object might give them a concussion and a cracked jaw. Saito, on the other hand... well, he was resilient. He might survive with less. No matter the outcome, Taiga said one thing as clearly as she possibly could once the bokken was back to being gripped firmly in her hand. "I hate that name. Come on, Ryuuji." She walked past Leo heading for the main lobby to start a hunt of her own. "...So no cake then?" |

Even if it wasn't going to give him a broken jaw and a concussion, that little wooden stick still hurt like a son of a bitch, and even managed to knock Saito clean on his ass with a single hit. By the time he got back up on his feet and started rubbing his chin, Taiga would most likely in the main lobby and on her way to look for the Luna Dopant. Usually he wouldn't have taken the hint and been out the door, halfway down the stairs by now, but..... ...but Leo had cake. "Well, if she doesn't want it, I'll have some!" the still somewhat dazed familiar said with an enthusiastic smile, trying to massage his jaw back into position so that he could partake of the sugary goodness. An angry young lady just up and storming out the door was definitely an issue that needed attending to, but to brush aside a man and the cake he had obviously put so much blood, sweat and tears into? That was just wrong! "You're amazing sometimes, you know that? You can't even chew it!" |
