Video; un: rosestorm | Blood Vials for all your aches and pains.

[thunderingcourage]

[The video begins with Makoto currently sitting in the garden at the house. Though at the moment she seems to be working on something unrelated to the flowers that are growing there. As she points at the camera several of her fingers are bandaged and there’s one on her arm too.]

Hey, those of you who have been having a bunch of headaches and stuff lately. Apparently, if you’re close to someone that has Vileblood it helps a bit, or just having a small locket or vial or something works too. If you need one just come by Usagi’s or let us know, I’ve done about a dozen so far. And it really does seem to work. I’ll make more if there’s not enough already.

[With that Makoto holds up a small vial attached to a small chain, as well another. Both filled with the green blood Makoto was still adjusting to, small streaks of red swirling throughout each.]

It can act kind of like a pain reliever too in a pinch, well if you don’t mind getting it on you. Just be careful with it.

Oh and I remember there are a lot of birthdays in October too, so if you need someone to make a cake for a celebration or anything you can give me a call too. So far I have one or two that I’m working on, but I still have plenty of time for a few more.

[After all she needed to practice and save up a little more.]

Other than that if anyone looking for a sparring partner I could use a little practice. I haven't had any since we've gotten here and I'm getting kind of rusty.

[imaglyphwitch]

This is so thoughtful of you, Makoto! Thanks so much!

But you know, you shouldn't be the only one supplying your blood, anyone who has the same type can, right? In fact, maybe a few of us ought to have something like a blood bank in case we want to volunteer some of our own blood?

I'll try and see amongst my friends who'd be willing to help supply. We wouldn't want you to be the only one giving blood.

[thunderingcourage]

It's not a big deal. It's kind of just like donating blood to a blood drive or something.

Now that it's out there I'm sure there are others that will do it too. I'm not even the first actually. It's just that some people might not know anyone else, so I wanted to offer for those that need it.

Thanks, and if you know anyone who needs one just let me know.

[imaglyphwitch]

I figured! But that aside, you don't want to be the only person donating, right?

It helps to get the word out too! Usagi actually reminded me of this when I told her that vilebloods tend to bring down the pain of a paleblood. That was something I didn't realize most people didn't know!

I'll be sure to do that, thanks. You're a lifesaver!

[thunderingcourage]

Yeah we kind of didn't notice since we spend so much time together, and then she hangs out with Maul a lot too and he has the same kind too. So Usagi wasn't being affected as much.

You're welcome.

[imaglyphwitch]

Same here, because I hang out with Luca in the house all the time, I didn't know myself! It was actually my friend Wesker who informed me that it was possible since he's experimenting on blood stuff since getting here!

Good for her, I'm glad she's staying safe! I'll have to thank Darth Maul later too!

[thunderingcourage]

[Wesker wasn't a name that she was familiar with. Honestly she figure Usagi might have gotten the idea from Varian since he had tried to experiment with her blood last year. But she hadn't really asked a lot of questions.]

Oh, so you're a Pale Blood like Usagi? It seems like there's a lot of people we know that are.

[It seemed like Makoto was surrounded by them.[

Good luck, he's not actually the kind to accept something like thank you or a compliment.

[imaglyphwitch]

[Nope, Varian hadn't gotten quite that far yet, which was funny since there were technically four different blood types under the same roof, but Varian was a busy guy].

I am! I know a few myself, but I know a lot of other blood people too!

Oh, he will if its coming from me! By that I mean he'll acknowledge it's not necessary, which is the closest I can get of him accepting the thanks.

[thunderingcourage]

[Makoto laughed.]

That sounds about right. His brother's pretty bad about it as well.

[imaglyphwitch]

You know, somehow I still haven't talked to his brother yet, but I'm not surprised?

[thunderingcourage]

I've bumped into a few times, but I don't really talk to either of them that often.

[Then again both of them also had a strong aversion to lightning and knew Makoto was Jupiter.]

Savage doesn't seem quite as temperamental, but he's still pretty hard to talk to about anything.

[imaglyphwitch]

Ah, ok. I guess they aren't the friendliest bunch are they?

[Luz still had no idea about any of the senshi's alter egos, only that having actual magical girls was the BEST THING EVER].

He's not as tempermetal as Darth Maul? Well now he just doesn't sound real.

[thunderingcourage]

He still has a temper, just not quite as bad of one. And he kind of thinks that everything is supposed to revolve around Maul.

In a way though he seems kind of dependable. As long as it's for the right person.

[imaglyphwitch]

Ah, that kind of sounds right. It explains why I've barely seen him, anyway.

Really? How do you figure?

[thunderingcourage]

He was really determined to not let his brother down, and he was pretty adamant to not let anything happen to the person he was supposed to protect. At least when I ran into him before.

I kind of understood how he didn't want to let him down.

[imaglyphwitch]

I guess I'd understand that too. There was someone who was like family to me in Deerington, and I'd have done anything to protect her. Just really wished that would have been enough.

I can't even imagine how he'd feel if he thought he let his brother down.

[thunderingcourage]

Yeah, there are several people that I miss from there too.

[Unfortunately, Makoto had been the one that kicked his butt and took Usagi back from him. So Maul had likely been disappointed when he returned.]

But I don't think something like that would come between them. Because with family and with friends, you always have their back no matter what's happened.

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz would have been happy to know that Makoto had done that of course, but she was going through some of her own angst when that had happened: mainly, Darth Maul killing two of her closest friends and Luz having to justify that this was not done in his right mind].

That's what it feels like for me too. I'd do just about anything for the boys in my house, even Luca, though he's a new person there. They're all like family to me.

[thunderingcourage]

[Minako had held Makoto back from doing anything too drastic, though an entire house had been pulled down on top of them when they confronted Savage.]

That's because you're a good friend.

[imaglyphwitch]

[So this was definitely a story Luz would want to know about].

They're my friends AND my family. I protect both.

[She's kind of intense about that].

[thunderingcourage]

[That was something Makoto admired.]

If you ever need a hand just give me a call. We can do it together.

Luz admires strong women, she's just like that

[imaglyphwitch]

[Luz smiled. It honestly made her a little happy when she found people that were like her].

I'll be sure to do that. Honestly, you look so cool I'd be flattered to have you helping me!

Makoto has her insecurities, but she puts up a strong front.

[thunderingcourage]

No way, I'm not cool at all. Usagi's the one that draws everyone in, and Mina-chan is super popular and cool. She knows all of the latest fashion and trends. Then there's Rei too, she is a bit older than us now, but she's always been the mature cool type.

I'm the one most of our classmates always avoided.

Re: Makoto has her insecurities, but she puts up a strong front.

[imaglyphwitch]

Of course you're cool! You look after people, and then you cook and make sure they're ok! Look at what you were doing here, helping people who're having the headaches!

People get intimidated over silly things, trust me. You're way cooler than you think!

[thunderingcourage]

Guess that means we both are then since you're doing the same thing. Cooking, feeding, and caring for the boys.

Luz always has insecurities and presses on anyway!

[imaglyphwitch]

No one back on Earth would have called me cool, but that's fine! I think it's better to be yourself then be cool for other people anyway!

But in this humble girl's opinion, you are definitely cool!
