It's morning now. You can have breakfast. (Grumpy intends to sleep in, but if the military type people insist on her getting up at some decent hour she might be getting breakfast.) * Nova isin the mess hall eatting a simple breakfast. (Oh, it's breakfast time? Well, that makes sense.) * Kiku walks into the officer's mess, then! She's wearing another JSDF uniform, and clutching the butterfly today. She's looking around curiously. * Nova is sitting quietly at a table eating her food. * Kiku sees Nova and looks at her curiously for a second, then walks over to her. Kieka, yolu hear a knock at the door. * Nova 's eyes divert from her food towards the approaching Kiku, her head not turning away from her food. (... Isn't it Keika, Kieka? >_>) * Kiku looks at Nova for a second, then says, softly, "Ares-san, right?" * Kieka eventualy opens the door to her room, she's wearing her blind fold and an over sized t-shirt, it's pitch black in there, "If we arn't under attack I'm going back to sleep." * Nova replys unemotionally as she turns her head towards the speaking Kiku, "My name is unchanged." "If you wish, ma'am, but if you do you'll miss breakfast." * Kieka ponders this a moment, "When's lunch start?" "1130 hours, ma'am." * Kiku nods slowly, and goes around to take a seat on the other side of the table. "Sorry, Ares-san. I'm just... I'm Kiku Eriko." She sits down, and puts the plush on the table in front of her. * Nova 's eyes follow Kiku as she moves and sits down as she replys, "I know." (OoOOooh - she so....Spockish! =D) * DaBoid chirps from somewhere in the dark, Keika tilts her head and then nods, "I'll be out in a bit... don't wait up." * Kiku smiles and says a little cheerily, "Oh? Good." She looks at Nova for a second, then says, "I'm just a little confused today." She pauses for a second, puts her elbows on the table and leans forward, then says, "Is that your natural hair? It's really pretty." * Kieka closes her door in the poor helpful soldiers face. * Nova resume eating, but responds, "Yes." * Kiku giggles a little and says, "How'd you get it?" (Nova is not accustomed to having 'equals', rather than superiors - it's tough for her to do 'small talk chit chat' =) ) (Too bad!) (Yep =) ) * Nova continues eating, answering, "It grew." Kiku, a traditional Japanese breakfast arrvies, with both silverware and chopsticks at the side. * Kiku looks down at her plush, then back at Nova and says, "Well, of course it grew, it's hair. But it's like your ears, isn't it? And your eyes? Your eyes are pretty too--" "Here you go, ma'am." says the cook. "I hope you like it." "nest we can do with JSDF supplies." * Kiku looks over at the cook and says, smiling, "Thanks a lot, I was really hungry." * Kiku moves her plush to the side so she can get at the breakfast. "Our pleasure, ma'am. I've also been asked to give you this." The cook hands you a music disk. * Nova eyes the plushie and asks, "Why do you have a child's toy?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 4. (Empathy check on cook: Success!) The cook is pleased to see you, and the disk appears to have been a favor for a friend. * Kiku takes the disk from the cook and looks at it, smiling a little, and responding, "It's Haguro! He's my favorite " UIt;'s wrapped in pink paper with pictures from Macross on it. There's a card attached. * Kiku continues a little excitedly, "He beats up all sorts of bad monsters with his super power beam and big wings!" * Kiku starts to unwrap it, then runs into the card and reads it instead! * Nova say, "So, it is a weapon disquised as a toy." The card says "Kiku=chan, I hope you're going to be OK. See me later today. I lvoe you very much. Yours always, katsu." (That guy fell for Kiku like a lead weight =/) * Kiku blinks at it, and hurridly puts down the disc, mumbling out a, "Thanks." She looks stunned for a second, and says, "No, it's not a weapon! It's a plush of a big monster." The music disk, by the way, is "MEGUMI"s Greatest hits Vol. 3" * Nova inquires, "Big monster?" * Kiku nods. "A big heroic kaiju! He always saves the people." She glances over at the disc again, and then starts to eat, with chopsticks. There's no twitching today! * Nova says, "I don't recall any big monsters in my briefing." * Nova continues, "Is it a new Earth weapon?" * Kiku says, "It's from a movie, Ares-san!" * Nova inquires, "Training simulation?" * Nova finishes up eating her breakfast. * Kiku shakes her head. "No. You just watch them. They're... like animated books." She looks at Nova carefully, then says, pouting slightly, "I can't tell if you're just making fun of me or really don't know. Are you... psychic too?" * Nova answers, "No." * Kiku frowns. "But..." she waves her hands at Nova. "You are... something. You're definitely something, I just dunno what." * Nova responds, "Something?" * Kiku nods and giggles a little. "Something. I've never felt anyone like you." She frowns slightly. "Or not felt." She shrugs, and takes a quick bite of food. "Or something! But you're really pretty." * Nova asks, "...in comparision to?" * Nova seems to be having difficulty in understanding everything that Kiku references, as she looks a little confused by the things that Kiku says. * Kiku frowns slightly, then says, seemingly finding an answer, "Me! You have neat hair and cool ears and your eyes are neat even if they're not blue." * Kiku 's eyes brighten. "Hey, if you don't know what Haguro is, we could watch one of his movies when I'm done eating? You wanna watch a movie?" * Nova says, "They are purple. Does the training simulation show any unusual tactics against the enemy?" Yes, they're purple, but it's a pretty purple. And it's not a training simulation. It's fun! * Nova asks, "What is fun?" Movies are fun... * Kiku pauses, then she takes a sharp breath. "You didn't mean..." (You guys object to a viewer, or no? ^^;) (I don't.) (*passes the popcorn, "They're about to watch a movie!) (Whee!) * Kieka is now known as Keika * Kiku looks over at the plush, then says softly, "Were you asking what fun was? Like... a dictionary?" * Nova leans forward, starring eye-to-eye with Kiku, "I don't really understand the things that you are referencing." * Kiku looks down at the plush again, then says, a little cheerly, "Let me finish eating, and then I'll show you." She looks up at Nova. "Okay?" (Too bad I can't join the game, otherwise I'd submit the character I have. Got a class from 6-10 on Tuesdays this semester. ;-;) * Nova pulls back, saying, "Okay.", and sits quietly watching Kiku eat, her eyes following each morsle of food as it moves from it's container to Kiku's mouth. (Owned.) * Keika opens the door to the mess hall and strides in, she's changed her into her insignialess uniform, and combed her hair, and presumably brushed her teeth and the like. Her everpresent raven is sitting on her shoulder looking around the room. (bummer - late night class) * Kiku nods a little, and smiles, and then gets to eating with some pretty good speed. (Yeah, I've got one on Mon and Wed) (Fortunatly for me this is a holiday) So, Ares-san, *chew* what's your full name? * Kiku adds, "And why is your family name tattooed on your face?" * Nova replys, as she continues to watch the food transfered from Kiku's plate to her mouth via the chopsticks eatting impliment, "Ares, Nova." * Keika nods to herself and takes a seat at the nearest empty table to where Kiku and Nova, and waits for the waiters. * Nova continues, "Corporate symbol." (What, not sitting at our table? ;_;) The cook brings Keika breakfast. (say something if you think she's being rude! :P) * DaBoid hops onto the table and watches Keika eat from there. * Kiku frowns a little at that, then closes her eyes for a second. "Um. Then should I call you Nova?" Then she looks over at Keika and has the same confused look on her face, before looking back at Nova. "And she's Keika, right?" * Keika nods slightly and keeps eating. * Nova 's eyes dart to Keika briefly before returning to watching Kiku's food disappear. She replys, "As you like. Correct." * Kiku nods a little. "Nova, then! And you can call me Kiku..." she trails off, then adds with a little smile. "Since we're all going to be good friends, I hope." She looks over at Keika, and says, "Keika, why aren't you over here? There's plenty of room!" She doesn't look away from Keika. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 10. (Boo! I wanted my empathy check. ;_;) You just can;t read anything from keika this morning. * Keika puts down her chopsticks, "No reason, but since you don't seem to like Karasu..." * DaBoid turns it's head to look at Kiku. * Nova shifts her eyes to look at Keika and Karasu. * Kiku blinks at Karasu, then looks down at the plush, then moves the plush away from Karasu. "Well, you should come over anyway." * Karasu (Gets its name BACK! :> ) If you insist. * Keika stands, picks up her try and walks over, with Karasu watching her every step of the way. Once she' seated again it flys over and stands on the table. * Kiku makes absolutely sure the plush is away from the bird, and then says, as she resumes eating unshakily, "So... um... did yesterday go okay?" * Nova 's eyes follow Karasu as it flys over. * Karasu seems much more interested in watching Keika eat than in the tasty plushie. (You admitted it was tasty! I knew it!) (I admit nothing.) * Nova replys, "The battle? Yes." If they ever learn to aim, we might be in trouble. * Kiku nods a little and says, brightly, "Good! Good. Everything is good." * Nova replys, "Not so good. Fighting a war defensivively wan't defeat the enemy. At best, it results in a stand off." * Kiku blinks, and nods a little, saying, "I... yes, that's true..." So, find out where they are. We have...three of them now, correct? * Kiku stops eating, and says softly, almost as if avoiding the conversation, "But you can make people tired if you're defensive and then you win and then evereything's really good and.." she suddenly speaks up, looking at Keika. "Hey! You have blue hair too!" (Lame!) So I've been told. * Nova says, "The Intellience Department is gathering what information they can, but with the enemy so easily able to take over and control most people, it's so easy for the enemy to plant deceptions and remove any valid information." That would make things dificult. * Kiku looks at Keika carefully, then makes a soft, "Oh,"ing noise. ...What can you tell that's not from them then? * Kiku starts eating again, very quickly. * Keika takes a few more bites while waiting to for Nova. * Nova says, "I have not yet recieved the intelligence from them yet and it will be hard to discern what is genuine and what is deception." * Kiku finishes her food and starts looking around the room, away from Keika and Nova. She also grabs up her plushie and her disk. ... I ment are there any records or anything else of their approach, or anybody even looking for such. (I'm just going to basically look at random people until I get a good emotion check, so rolling's until I succeed's pretty pointless, I'd think? ^^;) * Nova says, "If we could produce defenses against their psionic abilties in larger quantities - against their Mind Control for example, we'd better stand against them." Mayor sounded like he was having problems with that. * Nova says, "I've asked to recieve all known intelligence on the ememy forces, but I've not yet received it from the Intelligence Department." ... Do we still have an intelligence department? * Kiku starts staring at a random guy, and shivers, clutching her plush tightly. She suddenly makes a small gasp, and the clutching goes even tighter. * Nova says, "It's disorganized, but yes." * Karasu twists it's head around to look at Kiku. Now what? * Nova 's eyes shift over to Kiku. * Kiku looks over at Keika/Nova, still holding the plush tight, with the disc in one of her hands, and says, softly, "Um... you said you wanted... good intelligence, right?" * Nova replys, "Yes." If they are wiping their own minds, could even the 'great mind criminal' find anything? * Kiku closes her eyes, then blurts out quickly, "Psychic supressors don't stop aggress--" when Keika says mind criminal, she stops dead in her tracks, in her speech. I'll take that as a yes, good. * Nova 's eyes shift back towards Keika, "What is a criminal?" Somebody who doesn't follow the laws and gets caught. * Nova says "A law is like a regulation." Yes. * Kiku blinks a few times and swallows, then says, a little cheer resuming, although she's looking down now, "Hey, Keika, Nova and I are gonna watch a movie after breakfast. You should come watch." I can come listen if you insist, as I have nothing better to do until the intel people come up with something. ... Right. Listen. Still! * Kiku rubs her plushie against her face and then looks up. "And we can show Nova what fun is! Are you almost done?" * Karasu looks back at Keika's plate. The two of you had a head start. * Keika takes a few more bites, eating faster than she was before. * Nova offers, "It would be wise to work on team tactics soon." I fly around and make a target of myself, you shoot things, Kiku... ... hits them with her whip. * Kiku giggles a little and nods. "It's.... a nice whip, I think." * Nova responds, "Very limited range." * Kiku says, "I know! But I'd like to see them try to hurt me." * Nova asks, "Why would you want them to hurt you?" * Keika shrugs, "It could be done." * Kiku hmphs. "They'd have to try really really hard." I wish I could fly, though. * Nova comments "Limited range and mobility. Difficult." And too big, but we'll take what we can get. * Kiku looks over at Nova and Keika and says sulkily, "Well, I didn't build it." * Keika goes back to eating. * Nova eyes Kiku. * Kiku smiles a little at Nova, and looks over at Keika. * Nova says, "Perhaps it can be modified in time to compensate for it's weaknesses while capitalizing on it's strengths." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 2, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "I love you. Do you love me too? Y_ N_" (For now, Dicey, that is Y. Empathy check on our darling blind woman.) (Wheeee o.o) (... So anytime someone wants to tell me what a critsuccessed empathy check looks like... ^_~) (it means, I'm trying to type up every thought and what she feels about it) * Kiku suddenly sways in her seat and murmurs, "Modifying would be wonderful," She's staring at Keika a little glassy eyed, and makes a soft "ooooing" noise. (Okay! Now we're back in game. Aiyah. @_@) * Keika continues to eat. * Kiku starts leaningtowards Keika, and murmurs, "Worried and intrigued and impatient..." * Karasu eyes Kiku. Is there something you want? * Kiku licks her lips and opens her mouth, and then suddenly the glassy eyed look fades and she says, "Oh, just... um... waiting for you to get done." * Karasu tilts it's head and looks at Kiku with it's other eye for a bit and then goes back to watching Keika eat. I am not used to rushing. * Kiku nods a little, and sits up. "I wonder if... Katsu can make those sort of changes." * Nova says, "Perhaps." No shortage of parts at least. * Kiku suddenly blushes and says, "Well, I... I guess I could call and ask him." You do that. * Nova says, "Sergant Katsu seems different when around Kiku than when not." * Keika pauses in her eating for a few seconds and then resumes, "Ask somebody else about that one." * Kiku starts rubbing her thumb on the wing of the plushie as she watches Keika eat. * Keika finaly puts her chopsticks down, "Now, what movie do you want us to watch?" I'm going to be off-line for a while. You guys keep on going. (Okay!) (Okie dokie) (Goodnight!) (...That didn't get through in time did it?) (Nope.) (Thought so...I'm about three seconds back last time I checked.) Um... I don't know what we have! But it'll have Haguro in it. * Kiku picks up the butterfly and flaps it happily. * Karasu watches the flapping butterfly. (and RDM goes AFK for a moment) * Nova watches the Kiku-powered flapping butterfly monster * Kiku stands up and says, "Off we go to my room!" * Nova stands up slowly. * Keika holds her arm out over the table and Karasu walks up it before she stands up. * Kiku leads off to her room! "I have all sorts of great stuff now. More fun things than I've ever had. I'm sure we'll have a great time!" * Nova follows along * Keika follows Kiku to her her room, "That's nice." (I assume we fast foward, unless Nova is going to ask probing questions about Katsu? ^_~) (nope) (Off we go then) * Kiku walks into her room! There's plushies all around the un-made bed. There's a small bookcase of the manga-like books that Keika is familiar with. There's also the giant TV setup! * Kiku skips into the room and begins tidying up the bed. "Sorry it's messy, I was just... really distracted today." * Karasu eyes the bed and Keika walks straight to the chair, removing the unholy scion of a wombat and a scorpion from it before she sits down, "I can imagine." (... Nice touch.) (It's the future, I figured they'd start to get desperate for unused monster ideas. :P) * Nova sits 'wherever'. * Kiku finishes making the bed look almost neat, and then bounces on and across it, to the TV setup, and grabs the giant multifunction remote, and starts clicking through the video library. * Kiku says, "Ooh... hrm... um... hey! Perfect!" She clicks on something called 'The Super Haguro Melee!' "You'll love this one, Nova and Keika!" * Kiku flips onto her stomach on the bed and leans on her elbows and gets 9 sorts of cute and comfortable. Awww. * Karasu looks on in iterest... Keika isn't even facing the TV. (in == with) * Nova watches quietly. * Kiku watches raptly, for a bit, as there's the standard 'giant random monsters appear and the JSDF sucks it up against them' and then when someone on the TV says, "We are under attack by two monsters at once, and our weapons are worthless against them! Oh no, what will we do?", she replies, happily, "We must summon Haguro!" Nova! Keika! Haguro's coming on! *She points at the screen as the giant butterfly-like monster appears on screen* * Keika has by this time slouched in the chair and has her head titled forward, but Karasu is still paying attention and looks first at Kiku's finger and then back at the screen. * Nova watches dispassionately. * Kiku keeps watching for a bit more, bouncing and laughing and gasping as the monsters all brawl it out. She glances over at the both of them again at some point. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 9. (And no dice on the empathy for Keika. I don't even get to try with Nova. ^_~) (You got a crits worth ealier, be happy with that.) (;_;) * Kiku looks back at the TV and continues to watch! * Karasu seems to be enjoying the movie, and cheer..or at least chirping along one of the monsters. * Kiku looks over at Karasu, and giggles, saying, "You're not a bad bird, are you?" She pets a spot on the bed and smiles at it. * Karasu whistles and then flys over there. Ie squawks when its feet sink into the soft bed causing him to tip over. * Kiku giggles, and puts the bird on her head, before saying, looking back at the screen, "Is it interesting to watch, Nova?" * Nova "The tactics seem weak." * Karasu seems quite happy on Kiku's head, but as she's quickly discovering it's neither a featherweight nor all that soft. * Kiku tries to look over at Nova, but it doesn't work, because the bird is heavy, and so it loses its footing on her head. * Karasu tumbles off squaking and manages to thwap Kiku in the head with a wingtip as it goes. Well, it's not very realistic, no, but it's--ow! * Keika sits up, "What are you doing?" * Kiku rubs the side of her head and looks over at Nova and Keika, with a smile. "Karasu was just getting a better seat by me, is all. He likes the movie." * Karasu looks directily at Keika. So he was... * Kiku looks between the bird annd Keika, and then at Nova. "But yeah. It's not very realistic, but it's neat! Big good things fighting big evil things, and the big good things win!" * Karasu rights itself and chirps before going back to the movie. * Nova asks, "Why do the big good things win? The big bad things seem more capable." * Kiku frowns slightly, and then says, "Because the big good things care about people and everyone wants them to! The bad things just wanna destroy stuff." Because if the bad one won, they'd have to stop making movies. * Kiku looks at Keika and hmphs. "See, you're supposed to have fun and enjoy watching them! You're not supposed to worry about that." (... Oops!) (bleargh, my connection died, and took my computer with it) (and acording to herringchan, I'm going to have to wait a bit longer for Karasu to reconect >_>) You're missing it while you argue with me. * Kiku turns back to the TV quickly, and says, "Well, I've seen it before. It's one of the classics! It's always fun to see again, though!" * Kiku watches! And the big good thing eventually wins! Hopefully Karasu cheers along. * Karasu does cheer for the good moth! It flies! * Kiku turns sideways on the bed in her still-too-tight outfit and looks at Nova. "Was it enjoyable to watch, at least?" * Nova says, "I didn't understand the lesson." * Kiku quirks her head. "There... wasn't a real lesson. It was just for fun." * Kiku bounces about and shifts up to sitting off the side of the bed. * Karasu gets bounced around the bed a bit, and seems to enjoy that too. The feather brain seemed to enjoy it at least. * Kiku giggles and sorta tousles Karasu's head around, as if it had hair. "He's a nice metal birdie." * Karasu preens under the attention. Better than some, worse than others. * Kiku yawns slightly and looks over at Keika and Nova. "I have lots of manga too. Maybe you like reading more than TV?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 9. * Keika says a bit too quickly, "no." * Nova responds, "Audio-visual media is more efficient than text media." * Kiku pouts slightly at Keika, then says, "Ooh, so would you like to watch another movie?" She makes a face. "Maybe you'll like war movies." Too much like real life. * Kiku looks at Keika. "I was talking to Nova, but if you have something you want to watch, we've got lots of shows!" There are many things I'd _like_ to watch. * Nova looks towards Keika, waiting for her to continue. * Kiku blinks, then looks suitably embarassed and looks down, "Sorry, I just... I keep forgetting. You don't have any problem moving around, or reading things, so..." * Keika smirks, "You can thank Karasu for that, and he wants another movie with that moth thing in it." * Kiku laughs at Keika and then looks at Nova. "Is another Haguro movie okay?" Or something else? I did ask to do this for you, after all. * Nova asks, "That is the big monster butterfly? Okay." * Kiku nods and grins and twists around on the bed and grabs the giant controller again, and flips through the things. "Oh... um... aha! The first Haguro movie. Perfect!" * Karasu watches Kiku as she moves around and then looks up at the screen when she picks the movie. * Kiku , once she starts the movie, moves off the bed and picks up the disc she put on a table near the bed, looking at it and its pink wrapping funny. * Karasu watchs Kiku instead of the movie. * Nova watches the show. * Nova seems rather stiff and formal. * Keika is slouching again in the chair. * Kiku unwraps it and bounces across the bed to put it it over near the entertainment equipment stuff, and after a second, goes and puts the card back where the disc was, before setting up to watch the movie. She sighs slightly, then glances over at the both of the watchers. "Nova, you should relax. Come over to the bed! It's a big bed. Plenty of relaxing room!" * Nova says, "It's hard to keep proper posture with no back support." * Kiku says, "So don't keep proper posture! Lie down like me!" * Keika keeps quite during this, but Karasu is flickering its attention between Kiku and Nova as each speaks. * Nova says, "Isn't it hard to study a lession when you are in a difficult position?" * Kiku says cheerfully, "It's not difficult, it's relaxed." * Nova stands up and moves over to sitting on the edge of the bed beside Kiku. She says once there, "I don't see how things improves the efficiency of learning." This isn't something to study. * Kiku is laying on the bed, front-forward. "No, it's not, it's something to relax and enjoy." She tries to get Karasu to move so that Nova can lie down. "C'mon, lie down." * Karasu makes room by flying to one corner of the bed. * Nova tilts her head towards Keika, "Something like a moving painting?" You could say that. * Nova responds, "But I've seen people studying paintings, attempting to discern its meaning." * Nova turns towards Kiku and responds, "But I'm not sleepy." * Kiku giggles. "Well, do I look sleepy to you?" * Nova turns towards Kiku and responds, "And you're not a doctor." No, but she has watched more of these movies than both of us combined. * Kiku giggles and goes with it. "That's riight! I'm a movie expert! And I say it's better when you're relaxing like this." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 8. * Nova lays on her back, looking up at the ceiling. She says, "It's hard to see the pictures now." * Kiku looks at Keika for a second, then looks at Nova on her back in confusion for a second. ... on the front. You lie fronty-like. * Kiku continues lying fronty-like as an example. "Like me!" * Nova responds, "The doctors always had me lay on my back." * Kiku nods slowly, and says, a little dubiously, "But I'm not a doctor?" If I need to leave the room, I will. * Nova asks while still laying on her back, "Isn't it harder to breath that way?" Not really... and you can hold yourself up with your arms. * Kiku makes a huffy noise. "Just try it, Nova." * Nova rolls over on her tummy and faces her head towards the monitor. * Kiku beams and goes back to watching the movie in progress happily. * Karasu watches the movie, and seems much happier now that people arn't moving around. * Nova arms hand off the bed towards the floor. (...wanna try that again?) (Nova's arms hang off of the bed down towards the floor.) (Ah, so she's not pushing her head up. She's just sorta body-flat on the bed.) (Danke) (yep) * Nova watches the movie, her arms dangling at the ground. * Kiku watches the movie! She's stll very excited and animated about it, which moves the bed around a bit for Nova. (Hopefully, Keika won't snore in her intense boredom. >_>) * Karasu nearly gets bounced off the bed a few times, but steadies itself with its wings. * Keika doesn't snore, but she isn't giving any sign of being awake either. * Kiku glances over at Keika and whispers to Nova, "Do you think she's asleep?" * Nova eyes shift over towards Keika and she says to Kiku, "Possibly." * Kiku giggles and climbs over Nova, not seeming to care about whether she brushes against her or not, to get off the other side of the bed. * Karasu watches Kiku go. * Nova 's eyes follow Kiku as she moves towards Keika. * Keika remains still. * Kiku stares at Keika really hard. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 5. (First try, too!) (woo, what do I need to tell you?) (Just a flat empathy check. She always starts with an empathy check. ^^) * Kiku giggles madly and gets closer, whispering back at Nova, "She's sleeping." * Nova replys, "Conserving energy." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 6. * Karasu watches Kiku get closer. (Continued success!) * Kiku gets closer and closer! (about how far away would you say she is right now?) (Foot or less.) * Keika stays slouched in the chair, breathing in and out. * Nova 's eyes continue to observe Kiku. * Kiku giggles again, then slaps her fingers over her mouth, and continues creeping closer. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 9. (Aw, misses the last one.) * Keika lashes out with her arm and tries to catch Kiku's wrist, "Can I help you?" (Should I roll unarmed, or will you just let me have that one?) (Uh. I'd have to make a 4 on 2d6. You can have it.) * Kiku gets caught and laughs happily, "You were enjoying the movie, you big faker!" * Keika doesn't let go, but she does sit up, "When did I say I wasn't?" ] * Kiku smiles gleefully. "You didn't! But you were faking being asleep." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 5. (Hooray!) I can't see the movie, so it particulary matter if I'm looking at it or not does it? (so it doesn't particulary... ) * Kiku 's laughter dies down, "I guess not, no..." * Kiku can't really move away, so she just sorta stands there. She licks her lips and takes a short breath, then says, hurried, "Um... could you let me go?" * Keika does so, "Don't do it agian." * Nova asks Keika, her arms still dangling towards the floor, "Why is it that you have indirect vision through your robot rather than direct vision though cybernetic eyes?" * Kiku pouts, and takes a step back... and then glances over at Nova for a second, before back at Keika. * Keika twitches slightly, and then smiles a bit too widly at Nova, directly at Nova, "That... is not somethings I wish to talk about. Now go back your movie." * Nova replys, "Okay." and turns her eyes back towards the monitor. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kiku (2d6) and gets 5. * Kiku sucks in a sharp breath and stares at Keika again with the slightly distracted eyes, then says, "Don't worry 'bout it, Keika." I don't intend to. And you're missing the movie again. * Kiku 's eyes widen and she murmurs, "Wow," before saying, "I've already seen the movie!" Then she wanders back to the movie anyway, this time, running in front of Nova when a lull comes up, and then bouncing back onto the bed and resuming the lying on her stomach and holding her head up position. * Karasu squawks and then thumps as it gets bounced off the bed. It runs across the floor to where Keika is sitting and she lifts it up and tosses it gently back twords the bed. Where it lands gently on the corner agian. * Kiku blinks at Karasu and goes, "Aww... can't fly up on your own, Karasu?" * Karasu manages to chirp sadly. Not without running around the floor looking like an idiot he can't. Aww. * Kiku watches the movie more with Nova on the bed. Woo Haguro! (So, have we managed to miss the secret origion of Haguro yet? :P) (heh heh) (Ha.) * Nova asks, "Is the big butterfly going to win again?" * Kiku giggles. "Don't you wanna watch and see?" * Nova replys, "Okay." * Keika slouches down in her chair again. (Haguro's secret origin is that he was once an ugly giant wormy thing with a kid friend, but nobody trusted him, but then he crysalised and the kid kept people from killing him long enough for him to hatch, and then everyone loved him and he protected the people! Go Haguro!) (Go Haguro! Friend of people!) (He's a modern day Gamera. But cuter! And less full of turtle meat.) (Don't you mean mroe like Mothra?) (Does he at least have the miniature singing twins?) (Well, I was joking about the Friend of People thing, but yeah, he's basically a Mothra for young girls who like cute butterflies AND kaiju movies.) (Mothra does have twin faerie singer girls, yup yup, that's right) (I thought it was Gamera who had them.) (I don't remember!) (But Haguro doesn't have any. He has one really important kid friend.) (She's its best friend in the world. Awww.) (It's Mothra that does - I have the DVDs) (I bow to your superior knowledge. ^^) (ahh, well I'll take your word for it then.) (I have the Gozilla twin CD soundtrack theme set too ; ) ) (Kaiju! Arrrrh! =D ) * Karasu watches the movie, but it doesn't seem to be as enthusiastic about it as it was before. (I like King Ghidorah! ZAP! ZAP! ZAP! Lightning =D ) (Hee.) * Nova continues to watch the video until it reaches its end or there is something else that garners her attention. * Kiku watches the movie too, giving little glances off at Nova's hair the whole time. (And then the movie ends!) * Nova keeps watching the blank screen. * Keika stands up and streaches as the credits roll. * Kiku stretches lazily on the bed. "Oh, it's such a great movie." She looks over at Nova and says cheerily, "Was it fun?" * Nova comments while still looking at the blank screen, "The JSDF forces didn't seem to useful. I'm noticing a pattern." (too) * Nova turns her head towards Kiku and asks, "Is that what I was supposed to learn. That we can't count on the JSDF to be of any use to us against the enemy?" If they were, they wouldn't need Haguro to come bail them out. * Kiku blinks, and says, "Um... you weren't supposed to learn anything..." Well, except maybe that friends are really neat. * Karasu jumps off the edge of the bed and flaps it's way to Keika's shoulder. I learned that five hours of monsters is enough time between breakfast and lunch, and possibly enough for somebody to have dug out something useful. * Nova suddenly darts a hand forward, poking her right index finger into Kiku's left breast, and asks her, "Why are you so fat in this area? Doesn't it interfere with your sense of balance? How does it help you in a battle?" * Kiku winces and makes an nnhing noise. * Karasu just about falls off Keika's shoulder. * Kiku then blushes and stammers, "Uh... er... that is... well, it doesn't affect my balance any... and I don't think they've ever won me any battles..." The ensure that if she ever has children they will be wll fed for the first monthes of their lives. (They ensure) * Kiku glance over at Keika, and blushes a little, and then nods slightly, "That's... um, the idea, yeah." * Nova 's finger remains poked into Kiku's breast as she turns her head to face Keika and asks her, "How does having a pair of big flabby muscles there help? Wouldn't you just go to the cafeteria?" * Kiku continues blushing and stammers, "I... I wasn't made for combat, and babies can't chew. They don't have teeth." * Nova asks, "What's a baby?" ...Nova? find a dictionary...and look up the word 'mammal' for me. * Nova replys, still poking Kiku's breast, "I don't have one." * Kiku looks sorta stunned at that question, and then winces again. "Ow, um, you can stop that anytime, Nova." I don't think poking my breast is going to answer the question. Then do an online search for it. You will find the answer most enlightening. * Nova pulls back her finger and dangles her arms off the bad again while replying, "Okay." (bad = bed) * Nova asks while looking at the blank monitor, "Is another one being played now?" * Kiku rubs her chest a little where she got poked. "Ow... um? We could watch another, sure!" There's lots of movies and books and TV in the world! * Keika shrugs and Karasu rides it out, "I have been sitting in that chair far too long." * Nova shifts her eyes towards Keika and says, "Kiku says that laying on the bed is good for you." * Kiku giggles and says, "It is good! Relaxing. Isn't it relaxing, Nova?" Yes, but I don't think there's room for the four of us. Oh, you can take my place. I've been there for two movies! * Kiku clambers off the bed. * Nova replys, "It seems not much different from sitting." Movie day it is... * Keika sits back down in the chair and Karasu hops onto the table so she can see to untie her boots. * Nova shifts her eyes back towards the monitor. * Kiku awws, and picks up the remote control. "You sure you don't wanna lie on the bed? It's a comfy bed o/~" * Keika holds up her left boot, "Do you to sleep in the same bed this has been in?" * Kiku looks at Keika's left boot. "Oh! No, you were just... okay!" * Keika places it on the floor and gets to work on the other one. * Kiku flips through the library again, and picks a more recent one, "Haguro vs The Jelly Being." * Kiku gets it started and then sits down on the floor between the TV and the bed. * Keika sits and then stands up again to carry Karasu over to the bed, which she climbs onto and wind up sitting with her back to the opposite wall. * Karasu sits on her shoulder. (Heh. I could do this foreeever. Do we want to give up on Michael coming back and call it a movie day, perhaps picking up later when the evil monster things decide to screw with our fun, or forge onward into the early morning? ^^) (I have class in 11 hours, and would like to spend the majority of that time asleep, so no 4 am game tonight) (Sleepytime for me) (Okay, then.) [And so they start to watch Haguro's next magical tale! Aww, aren't are heorines and their mascot cute? Mini end/suspend/etc.]
