Start of #Youkai buffer: Sun Jun 07 06:53:48 2009 [21:11:53] [Monday. Lunch approaches.] [21:12:52] [Session Start] [21:12:58] [This is week 3. I think] [21:15:41] * Berny meets Kentaro by his desk with her lunch in hand. "Cafeteria?" [21:15:56] * Kentaro looks up. "Oh, sure!" [21:17:02] * Kentaro digs his lunchbox out of his backpack and swings the pack across his shoulders, and begins heading down. "So, what's up?" [21:17:24] Nothing much. Studied yesterday. What did you do over the weekend? [21:19:35] Oh, uh, I hung out in the woods with Miki, spent some time at the game center, went to the next town over to look at pants. You know, busy day. [21:21:45] * Berny giggles. "Pants? That sounds exciting. Why'd you go so far for pants?" [21:23:25] [Over at the cafeteria, they're serving ramen.] [21:24:22] * Kentaro shrugs. "Don't get me wrong, I love this town, but if you go shopping here, you're kinda going to end up looking like a guy who owns fourteen pairs of sweatpants and they're all the same color, you know? If you wanna look good, you've got to put some time into it." [21:25:32] * Berny laughs quietly. "I guess you have a good point. I brought most of my clothes from the States, so I guess I didn't think very much about it." [21:26:12] Not that we have much of a chance to wear our own clothes. I thought these uniforms were pretty cute at first, but it does sort of get a little old. [21:26:55] * Berny straightens her sky blue plaid skirt as if to emphasize her point. [21:29:47] * Megumi is already at the usual table, slurping her noodles. [21:29:59] * Kentaro nods. "And, honestly, it looks good on you ladies, but the dude side of that just kind of looks like we're in Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band, so we miss out." [21:30:56] * Berny giggles again. "Well, it's not that bad. Kind of cute, too, but I guess I do like the skirts better." She plops down her lunch at the spot across from Megumi as they arrive at the table. [21:31:13] That's why I keep a change of clothes in my bag, you know? I can't feel good about myself if I head out on the town looking all pastel. Especially since I'm an autumn. [21:31:50] * Kentaro says that completely seriously as he sits down at Megumi's table, and begins digging into his lunch box [21:31:57] * Berny laughs. "It'd be hard for a guy to get away with pastel back at home." [21:33:18] * Megumi eyes Kentaro oddly. [21:34:34] * Kentaro grins. "Hey, Megumi, what's up?" [21:34:42] Hi, Megumi. [21:36:16] Not much. Still thinkin' about the tree thing [21:36:28] Did you eat your steak? [21:38:39] * Disconnected [21:39:07] * Attempting to rejoin channel #Youkai [21:39:08] * Rejoined channel #Youkai [21:40:16] Of course! Can't let good food go to waste. [21:40:29] * Demota (demota@c-67-188-135-127.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [21:40:33] * Demotafk is now known as Demota [21:40:37] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [21:40:45] Was it as good as it looked? My tiramisu was perfect. [21:40:56] * Berny unwraps her sandwich and digs in. [21:41:27] * Kentaro nods. "My noodles were pretty terrific, too. I've kinda been having a little every day since then." [21:42:13] It was like they killed the cow right there, just for me. [21:43:44] * Berny taps the side of her face with a fingertip. "I wonder if there's anything bad about eating supernatural food. All those fairy tales about not eating food from the netherworld and all that." [21:45:16] * Kentaro nods. "There's the thousand day feast, for one." [21:45:39] Well, I'm not starving, so it ain't that [21:45:40] The play? [21:48:11] Yeah. The oni gave everyone this delicious magic food, and they started to die of starvation without knowing it [21:49:34] * Berny nods. "Does that play have any truth to it, y'think?" [21:50:13] Well, it's based on an old local legend, and, y'know, I think we've got a few recent local legends sitting at this table [21:50:31] So I wouldn't be too suprised if, uh, is was at least a little historical? [21:53:17] * Megumi mutters something about racist legends. [21:53:18] Never caught wind of anything like that happening, though? [21:54:52] * Kentaro shrugs [21:55:14] My family kinda just lived in the woods until about fifteen years ago, so we're not the best ones to ask [21:58:28] * Berny nods. "I assume you haven't heard anything like that from your family either, Megumi?" [22:01:04] Nah. Not that they'd ever really talk about Oni history or anything like that, they're too busy trying to be humans. [22:02:16] * Berny nods thoughtfully. [22:05:38] * Kentaro nods. "I guess that's where my family got lucky. The only one of us trying to be a hunam is Kikuko, and she'll prolly grow out of it." [22:05:50] You don't count? [22:06:00] * Berny looks mildly surprised, or maybe a little amused. [22:06:27] Nah, I cheat so much that I don't even count. [22:06:52] Like, Kikuko actually gets money to buy things from a job, you know? I haven't used real money in my entire ever. [22:07:56] ...Never? [22:08:20] Well, you know, sometimes. Like if someone really needs money that I didn't just make from a tree [22:09:10] But most of the time? Screeeeeew that. [22:10:09] * Berny ponders on the things she could buy if she had Kentaro's skills. [22:10:25] * Berny whispers, "No one's ever caught you or anything?" [22:10:47] * Kentaro laughs. "It's magic, it's not like I'm a counterfeiter." [22:11:01] But it's actually leaves and stuff, right? [22:11:05] ...I mean, I guess, technically speaking, it's maybe the same thing? [22:11:08] Oh, yeah, absolutely. [22:11:17] How long does it take for it to change back into a leaf? [22:14:04] * Kentaro shrugs. "I dunno. If it ever does, it's a long enough time that it's never happened to me." [22:14:31] * Berny leans back. "Wow, it's like printing money. You could buy as many fancy pairs of pants as you want!" [22:15:36] * Kentaro leans back as well. "I often do!" [22:16:33] Well, I know who to borrow money from now! [22:18:12] * Shizuru and Natsuki approach. "Of course, sometimes I offer to loan him some. Just to tip the scales another way." [22:18:34] Oh, hi, Shizuru, Natsuki. [22:18:46] * Berny waves the hand not holding the sandwich. [22:19:07] Shizu-kun, Nacchan, what's up? [22:20:52] Not much. Do you have any plans after school? [22:21:28] Outside of looking fabulous in my new pants? Not especially. [22:21:38] * Berny shakes her head and looks at the others. "Not that I know of. Besides homework." [22:23:43] I don't have any plans either. [22:24:34] That's cool, wanna hang out? [22:25:02] Oh, certainly. [22:27:12] My home will be available. [22:28:08] Um. Well, I don't have plans but... [22:28:11] Oh, uh, awesome. Cool. [22:29:06] * Berny glances from Kentaro to Shizuru. "Is that an open invitation?" [22:29:32] Hm? Oh. Yes. [22:33:21] Is this, uh, a special-people-only meeting? [22:34:22] That depends. Do you want it to be? [22:36:20] * Kentaro shrugs. "Miki's probably gonna be busy anyways. It's been a while since I've been able to let it hang out." [22:37:24] * Berny barely prevents herself from spitting out a mouthful of sandwich. [22:38:32] Very well, then. [22:40:36] Natsuki will be with us as well. [22:41:01] Um, you guys have fun, I guess. [22:42:00] * Berny manages to swallow her food with a little cough, and she eventually recovers. "You're not coming, Megumi?" [22:42:35] There's food. [22:43:16] * Megumi blinks. "Well, uh...I mean, I guess if you guys REALLY want me to come, I could." [22:43:57] * Berny smiles. "Yeah, let's go!" [22:46:30] [After school...] [22:46:50] [You find yourself before Shizuru's house. She goes through the gate, lets you in, and you get to enter the condo.] [22:49:24] * Kentaro heads inside. He's already changed into a shirt with a picture of two apes wearing full-head masks, locked in a grapple, with [GO TO APE] written below it in English, and a pair of tight, skinny-legged jeans which are, frankly, pretty fantastic. [22:51:24] * Shizuru takes Natsumi's hand. They walk around inside, and soon lead you to a room. Shizuru opens the door and steps in. It's set up similarly to her aunt's, but is just a slight bit cluttered, since Shizuru presumably lives here along with her mom. [22:52:04] * Kentaro follows after them [22:52:35] * Berny discreetly admires Kentaro's pants as she walks in after him. [22:52:45] * Megumi has changed into the same clothes from saturday. [22:55:15] By the way, I've formally submitted that question you had about the kudagitsune. [22:55:48] Oh, terrific! I hope it's not too much of a bother taking to... your mom's boss? about it. [22:56:15] * Megumi trails after the group, sniffing the air a bit. [22:57:07] ISubmittng the request isn't too much of a bother. It's getting a response that might be hard. [22:57:31] * Megumi can smell food being cooked. Somewhere. Perhaps in this very house-section. [22:58:29] * Megumi brightens up a bit. [22:59:21] * An older woman with long hair shows up. She doesn't seem to have much of a resemblance to Shizuru's aunt. "Oh, Shizu-chan. These are your friends?" She holds a tray of dango. [23:01:40] Yes, mother. [23:01:53] * Shizuru's mother looks over at Kentaro. "Oh, Ken-chan. It's good to see you again." [23:07:46] * Kentaro smiles. "Saki-san, you're still looking young." [23:09:17] Oh, thank you. It's good to see you're still doing well. [23:12:19] * She looks around to the rest of you. "Oh, who might you be?" [23:15:13] I'm Megumi Fukuyama, I go to the same school as Kentaro. [23:17:32] * Kentaro leans back in his seat. "So, uh, how're things going with you ladies these days? It seems like we haven't really had time to hang out, outside of, you know, weird magic business." [23:20:37] [Session Pause] [23:32:53] * Megumi is now known as Yon [23:44:20] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-67-125-22-7.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Quit: ZzzZZZz.) [01:55:01] * Yon is now known as sleepyon [06:39:07] * Kentaro is now known as Charles End of #Youkai buffer Sun Jun 07 06:53:48 2009
