Mr. Ninety said there was supposed to be some modern amenities it doesn’t really look like it to me.

I see two things that look like beds but, I don’t see much else except for a chest of drawers and a simple square table with four simple chairs at each end.

Along the wall is what looks like a cooking area with a small fire stove.

Looks like I have a little time before the first person arrives so, I head back outside to the A.T.V. and I get my supplies from the back of the scooter.

As I am on my way back to the house, I notice that the light near the antenna on top of the building begins to light up.

Oh! I guess that means it’s started.

I hurry back inside and see the first bed like thing start to light up.

Talk about just in time.

OK…um…yeah, I should get started.

I head over to the other bed like thing and put one tunic and one sheet on the floor by the end.

Looking over at the other one that is still active I see an outline of a skeleton beginning to appear.

I had a feeling something like this was going to happen so I rush over there.

Once I reach there, I put the tunic at my feet by the edge of the bed and pull the sheet out in front of me.

I don’t know if this is a man or a woman but I’d rather not find out.

Mr. Ninety let me keep my dignity I might as well do the same for them.

We all come into this world naked but even little babies get wrapped up once they’re handed to their mothers and fathers.

I wait a little longer and then see skin appear on their feet and then I place the bed sheet on their body.

Oh! It’s a guy.

He looks to be in his late twenties or early thirties with short blonde hair and a very short beard.

Yeah, I’m glad I decided to bring sheets.

Besides, if he wakes up with a sheet on him it’ll hopefully seem like he took a really long nap.

Ok, a two thousand years long nap but still I can hope that’s what they feel like.

Suddenly the other bed starts to light up as the one I’m at starts to power down.

Wow, I’m not gonna have much time in between people, am I?

I run over to the other bed, grab the bed sheet and unfurl it while I wait for the body to finish.

This would be so much easier if I didn’t have to wait to put the bed sheet on them.

Oh well, what can I do.

I have my way of doing this and I’m sticking to it…unless something changes.

The skin starts to appear on the feet and I lay the sheet down and see the face of the person had just returned.

It’s a woman.

She appears to be about the same age range as the guy and has darker blonde hair than the man.

Well, looks like I’m done here.

I head to the door and instinctively I put my hands together, bow and say out loud, “Welcome home.”

Why’d I just do that?

Ah! I better hurry on to the next one or I’ll get more than I bargained for.

I rush out the door and look up at the top of the houses to look for the next one that should be ready.

Ah, there it is right next door.

That’s pretty convenient.

Maybe computer was thinking of me.

I better hop to it or I’ll be late.

After I quickly gather my supplies from the scooter, I hurry into the next house.

Already the first bed is lit up and the skeleton is starting to appear.

I quickly get one of the bed sheets while dropping the two tunics and other sheet by my feet.

Unfurling the sheet, I look at the feet and wait for the skin the appear and then lay it on the body.

I’m not really paying much attention to whether it’s a man or woman that appears because I don’t really have time to think about that.

The light on the bed fades and I quickly grab the other sheet and one of the tunics and go over to the other bed as it begins to light up.

I take my place with the sheet out as normal and wait for the body to appear.

You know I had to make these tunics pretty much as unisex as possible.

I really hope they are ok not having any underwear.

The lack of underwear shouldn’t be an issue really.

They’ve been ghosts for like two thousand years.

That should be the least of their issues, right?

Oh, hey, this one is smaller than the others.

This one has gotta be a child, probably?

I place the sheet down on them and their face.

It is a child, a little girl in fact.

Somehow, I have a familiar memory of looking at a blonde-haired little girl resting peacefully in her bed.

I bring my hands to my face and slap myself out of my thoughts and hurry out the door.

So, where is this next house at?

Ah, there it is.

I quickly grab my supplies and hurry into the next house.

Just like the last house the bed is already lit up and the skeleton is starting to get the muscles on it.

Oh no! I better hurry or I’ll get to see more than I want.

I toss the two tunics and other sheet down by the foot of the bed and quickly get the sheet ready to place on the person.

Glancing over at the feet the skin appears and I lay the sheet down on them.

On him? Or is it a her?

I glance at the face of the young woman with bright blonde hair resting peacefully.

She is about the same age as what Michiru would have been.

Actually, that’s what my age is, I guess.

The other bed starts to light up and I prepare for the next person to arrive.

I just realized; I’m not going to be the only Midengardian here anymore.

Well, I guess I’m not completely a Midengardian since I still have part of Michiru in me.

Also, I have that weird thing going on with the Vitran Particles.

What was it that Mr. Ninety called me?

Oh, yeah, Vitan Prototype.

So, I’ll have some form of connection to these people but also…not.

The person finishes appearing and I place the sheet on them.

This young boy with reddish blonde hair had a long life ahead of him.

What am I thinking? He still does.

He’ll be out there playing with all the other kids really soon.

Assuming there will be other kids for him to play with.

What am I thinking?

Of course, there has to be other kids.

Oh crap! I’m wasting time.

I have to get more supplies from the encampment mode and find the next house.

Gotta hurry, hurry, hurry.

Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.

I hop on my scooter and go to the encampment mode and make a bunch more tunics and sheets and put them in the storage on the back of the scooter.

Quickly I get on the scooter and make my way to the next house.

Slowly I open the door and peek over at the second bed.

Just as I thought, the first person is already done.

Hmm, what should I do now.

Really don’t wanna look at someone’s private parts.

Well, unless we were a couple that is.

I know, I’ll look at the feet and place the sheet over them.

Yeah, that’s what I’ll do.

Good thing I’m not one of those foot freaks.

OK, here you go your sheet and your tunic.

I glance over at the other bed and the muscles are starting to form on the body.

Oops, gotta hurry up.

I unfurl the sheet and prepare to lay it over the body.

There that should take care of everything here.

On to the next one.

I continue taking care of the next three houses with no incidences and then go back and get more supplies.

As I arrive at the encampment mode to get more supplies, I see Mr. Ninety there also getting supplies.

“Oh! You finished?”

“Correct. All the spectral forms have been collected and I have returned to assist your efforts.”

“Thanks a bunch. I’ve been doing my best to stay ahead of the people coming back.”

“You have been providing the Midengardians with bed covers and clothing I assume?”

“Yeah, I’ve been trying to be as quick as possible.”

“Was there and issues with the Midengardians’ reconstitution efforts?”

“Not that I noticed.”

“You have done good work thus far. Now that I am here, we can double our efforts and should be finished before the night arrives.”

“That’s good to hear. I’m going to the next house now.”

“I will proceed to the next domicile.”

We both leave on our vehicles and arrive at our houses.

I slowly open the door and peek over at the second bed.

Gah! They’re almost done here!

I try to shield my eyes and hurry into the house and do the usual sheet cover on the bodies and leave the tunic behind for them as I continue on to my next house.

Time keeps on passing as I keep going from house to house while I occasionally meet up with Mr. Ninety.

With just a few more houses to go Mr. Ninety comes up to me and tells me something.

“I trust you can complete the remaining domiciles?”

“Yeah, I can but, what are you going to do?”

“I must tend to the beasts of burden and livestock.”

“Oh ok, wait, what?”

“I do not understand your bewilderment.”

“I mean there was souls for the animals in that tornado too.”

“Indeed, there was but, the souls you mention are not like those that belong to higher lifeforms. They are fragmented spectral forms and only provide base cognition and functions.”

“That really makes me feel really guilty about all the meat I ate in my previous lives.”

“You should not feel so. They are part of the way life is. If you did not partake of them others would. Whether they be other Midengardians or base life forms would do so.”

“So, you’re saying if I didn’t eat them someone or something else would have?”

“Correct. Do not be discouraged by your former place in the life chain.”

“Yeah, you’re right. We all have our place in the world…er universe… I guess.”

“Indeed. Now I will be off.”

“Oh yeah! I should hurry too. Good luck Mr. Ninety.”

“I do not believe in nor need luck.”

“Oh, it’s just a natural reaction for me. Just go with it.”

“If you deem it necessary.”

“I do, so good luck with your work.”

“I believe thank you is the response you require.”

“Yes, but you could also wish me luck too.”

“Thank you for your continued assistance.”

“I guess that’ll have to do for now.”

He departs on his R.A.V. towards a place that looks like it’s off in the distance.

Wow, it’s gotten dark pretty fast.

I gaze out at the setting sun.

That is such a beautiful sunset.

What am I doing, I gotta go!

At least there’s not too many houses left.

I make my way to the next house, take care of the people there and then continue on to the rest of the houses.

Eventually, I finish off the rest of the houses.

“Whew! Finally done!”

You know what? I deserve a nice cold drink.

Mr. Ninety did say I can have food so why not a drink.

Let’s see if the encampment mode can make me a nice tall glass of black tea.

I get on my scooter and head back to encampment mode and notice there are lights lighting up the area around the encampment mode.

Well, that’s convenient.

I go over to the matter converter and think of a nice talk glass full of cold tea, with a little bit of lemon and a bit of sugar to equalize out the sourness of the lemon.

The tea appears, I sit down and take a nice long sip of the tea.

“Aaaaah!”

When was the last time had this?

I don’t think there was tea like this on Midengard so it must have been something Michiru had on Earth.

Off in the distance I see a light coming toward me.

It must be Mr. Ninety.

He must be finished with what he was doing.

It is pretty late after all.

I continue nursing my tea and see glimpses of the starry night sky through the clouds.

Mr. Ninety arrives as I finish my tea and return the glass back to the matter converter.

“I trust you had no issues with your mission.” Mr. Ninety says as he parks his R.A.V.

“Nope. How are the animals doing?”

“I utilized the historical documents to reconstitute common beasts of burden and livestock that would be found in an agrarian village setting on Planet Midengard.”

“So, everything’s good then.”

“Correct. There will be some time before the first of the Midengardians will awaken.”

“Oh? Like how long?”

“I estimate shortly after daybreak.”

“Looks like we have a while to wait then don’t we.”

“You are free to partake in another beverage or some foodstuffs. I will have computer begin the conversion on Continent Midheim.”

“Oh, you caught me drinking some tea. Hehe.”

“It was of no consequence. I instructed you to use the matter converter as you wished.”

“Well, since you said I could then I’ll have another glass of tea and then change out of these nurse’s clothes then.”

“Do what you must, I will begin my work with computer.”
