(pacific rim) (regarding all the family reunions happening in d_m)

[dorothied]

You're wrong. I'm not - I would not dare to presume they'll be here as well. What would I tell them if they were? What could I? How could I find the words?

It would have been better if you hadn't put the idea in my head.

[ Oh, Mako. ]

That who'll be here, sweetheart?

[dorothied]

[No. Nnno, Yancy. No.]

[lightcap]

[ She's going in here because this is the Marshal's little girl. Where the hell is Tamsin? ]

Mako, darling. Please, don't cry.

[ Caitlin is going to mother the hell out of you. ]

[dorothied]

I'm alright, I'm fine.

[She is going to stubbornly deny that her eyes watered until the end of time.]

[her_heart]

I love you, honey.

[ She's here. It's not the same, but --

She's here. ]

[dorothied]

Gipsy. [No, oh no, Gipsy.

Everything is possible in this place, right? Well then, Gipsy getting herself a hug is possible.]

[tangos]

But if she hadn't, I might not've got the chance to pop in and say hello.

1/2 eeeeee

[dorothied]

Tamsin...

[dorothied]

[See, Mako, it's not all your family, but part of your family is already here.]

I'm sorry you had to find me like this.

[suicidemission]

[ ....do dead people count?

Cause he's gonna stand here and sulk at her if not. ]

[dorothied]

[Family, dickhead. No, dead people count.]

Chuck.

[coyotesolo]

Mako.

[Your mun made the wrong move.]

If you need the words, I know you will find them.

i trained myself a hundred years for this and i'm still crying

[dorothied]

[Not anywhere reachable right now, obviously.

a little choked,] Yes.

[striker_eureka]

Hey. [Hercules is not good with emotions. But he can try.]

C'mon, love, no tears. You did a great thing. There's no need to cry.

[dorothied]

You're right, of course. It is better to laugh for the future that is now possible, thanks to everything which has happened in the past.

[compatibles]

[ And Raleigh's just going to put an arm around her and pull her into him and kiss the top of her head. He never knows what to say to his ghosts either, so he mostly keeps quiet. ]

What can I do to help you?

[dorothied]

[Raleigh :(. What is it about Beckets that make for great teddy bears to hold onto? She doesn't remember whether she ever had a plush toy to cling to as a child, so maybe that analogy doesn't work. In truth, it's simple - he's an anchor. So she'll hold on.]

Just this.

[needmorecoffee]

I am always late to the goddamn party, I quit LOCCENT, you people find another chief j-tech, come here darling--

[ no protests, miz mori. and what's this about presuming if people will be around of course they'll be around.

tendo's shorter than the beckets so this isn't a bear hug, angel, sorry. ] --I saw nothing you didn't want me to see.

[ he pulls back and wipes a tear from her cheek. ] Especially not the unflappable Miss Mori crying.

[dorothied]

[TAKEN BY SURPRISE, Tendo Choi the hurricane motherhen, ladies and gentlement.

A Tendo hug is nothing to frown at either.

She sniffs last second, and that was also not an embarrassed flush.]

It's water on my face. The sprinkler system is shot. The place would go down without you, Mister Choi, you can't leave.

[cto]

Which ideas would those be, dolly?

[dorothied]

Of a particular sort of reunion.

[nonyielding]

There are quite a few of us here. [ on this platform. in this head.

hello, mako. ]

[dorothied]

You are always here, sensei. [With me.]

Like he's gonna let his brother's current co-pilot cry without a hug

[dangersrighthand]

Aw, get over here kiddo.

[Hug time!]

[dorothied]

[IT'S JUST RAIIIIIN
ON HER FAAAAAAAAACE.
But all these faces showing up helps.

And getting hugs from Beckets everywhere today.]

[eisenhardt]

Your family? How distressing.

[dorothied]

Distressing?

[oldmanstriker]

Mori-san...

[Yeah, he has no way to comfort her. So, he's just going to be here.

That works, right?]

[dorothied]

Marshal.

[rbecket]

[ Raleigh just sighed softly as he looked at Mako. He knew how much her family meant to her, how much she had adored her father. Even if they weren't co-pilots he would understand the longing she had for loved ones that were gone. ]

Mako...

[dorothied]

[She sees the unspoken understandment in his eyes, and hopes that he'll understand the words she isn't saying.]

I'll be fine.

[scissured]

They'd probably be so happy to see you, and who you've grown to be that they wouldn't need any words.
