Start of #youkai buffer: Fri Jul 10 08:35:23 2009 [16:27:54] [Friday, week... 3? 4? Anyway, you're in a ramen shop that Kentaro recommended to you. While here, Daisuke found the girl that was messing with him way back when, and has (so far) escaped her notice.] [16:28:01] [Session Start] [16:28:40] * Berny pokes idly at her empty ramen bowl and swings her feet under the bench. [16:28:42] Sasquatch has gotta be pretty strong, though. I mean, isn't he American? [16:29:07] * Berny blinks slowly at Daisuke. "What do you mean? *I*'m American, and I'm not strong." [16:29:39] Yeah... but... I mean, you're not a sasquatch. [16:29:47] * Berny grins. [16:29:56] * Kentaro laughs [16:30:58] I mean, if you were, we'd know. [16:31:34] * Berny puts her hand over her mouth to hide a laugh. [16:31:50] Well, I'd hope I wasn't one, anyway. They're pretty hairy. [16:31:54] * Kentaro nods sagely. "Yeah, if there's one thing that seperate regular hunams from monsters is that monsters are all totally obvious and fangly and clawed." [16:34:12] * Berny nods along mock-seriously, one corner of her mouth twitching. [16:36:38] Well... yeah. Come to think of it, an awful lot of them are. It seems they're all beasty or they can change shape. [16:37:11] Oh man, the shape-changing ones are the worst. [16:38:19] The worst? [16:38:29] Out of the two, you know. [16:39:49] Worst in like... what way? [16:40:07] Well, if I was a shape-changing sasquatch, how could you tell? [16:40:19] There you go! They're just so *deceptive* [16:43:00] * Daisuke thinks. "Um... I dunno." [16:44:01] You're not worried I'm a shape-changing sasquatch? [16:44:58] Come to think of it, not really. [16:45:17] You sure? [16:45:55] * Yon is now known as Megumi [16:46:27] Man, that'd be great. If you WERE a shape-changing sasquatch, I'd have someone else to fight! [16:50:05] * Berny giggles. "I don't think I could win that fight, even if I was a sasquatch, Megumi." [16:50:08] Well... hm. Nah, not really. You don't seem like the punchy sort [16:50:08] * Kentaro laughs. "We should maybe wrestle one day, Megumi. Maybe arm wrestle." [16:50:14] Or thumb wrestle. [16:53:40] * Megumi smirks at Kentaro. "Bring it on, anytime." [16:54:02] At this table? [16:54:27] * Emmy (senranda@74.12.123.50) has joined #youkai [16:55:34] * Kentaro rolls up his sleeve. "Hey, might as well. It's been a while." [16:55:45] * Berny clears away dishes from the wrestling area. [16:57:04] * Megumi grins and rolls up her sleeve. [17:18:25] * Kentaro locks arms with Megumi, not putting much pressure into it, but leaning against her, trying to tire her out. He begins to grin somewhat ferally, in a matter not entirely in line with how collected he usually is [17:19:47] * Berny takes a cellphone photo of the event. [17:20:22] * Daisuke watches. @_@ [17:26:17] [The next day...] [17:26:58] [You're seated for lunch. It's a cool day, and the rain's starting to let up a little, but the sky's still really overcast. They're serving rice and croquettes, and you're discussing yesterday. Emmy shows up] [17:27:20] * Berny is still looking a bit sleepy, and she's polishing off the rest of her fruit and crackers. [17:27:59] * Emmy has a haggered look to her face, holding her lunch and a small folder as she greets the others. "Hey everyone." [17:28:38] * Megumi sulks at the table as she eats, seeming to be favoring her right arm a bit. [17:29:27] * Berny waves listlessly. "Hi, Emmy. Haven't seen you in a few days." [17:30:53] * Kentaro sits down at the table, fishing his bento out of his bag. "Hey, ladies." He looks up. "Oh, hey, Emmy." [17:31:19] * Emmy nods. "Hey. Found what you were looking for." She hands the folder to Kentaro and plops down beside him to eat. [17:32:42] * Berny sips noisily from the straw in her juice box. [17:33:16] * Megumi looks up. "Oh, hey." [17:33:57] Oh, hey, cool! Thanks! [17:34:24] * Kentaro opens the folder and flips through it idly, before putting it in his backpack [17:34:46] What was that about again? [17:34:52] * Emmy makes a small wave before munching down on her race. "It wasn't that hard, but it was a lot of work. Stupid government and their stupid paperwork." [17:35:44] Oh, the, uh, guys who bought up my family's land way back in the day. [17:37:20] * Kentaro sees it was bought under the name Utano Kanji. [17:37:43] * Megumi perks up a bit. "We gonna go have a 'talk' with them?" [17:38:23] I dunno. I think maybe it might be better to hand it off to Moriko and find out what their deal is, first. [17:41:31] Moriko? [17:43:09] Oh, my older sister. She moved to the city a while ago to start looking into this, but... [17:43:23] * Kentaro shrugs. "Getting things done isn't really something my family does." [17:43:33] * Berny nods. [17:46:51] Is there anything we can help you with about that? [17:48:45] I dunno. I guess if you want to, maybe we could go out to the city over the weekend, but I dun't think it's gonna be, like, dangerous? [17:49:54] * Emmy swallows and says, "Not if you're only looking for the person." [17:51:05] Dangerous? That just makes it better! [17:51:07] Huh? [17:54:13] * Berny nods. "Sure. I'll go." [17:56:48] * Emmy asks, "Mind if I tag along? I'm curious to see how this ends up, since I help start it." [17:57:33] I.. guess, but what did you mean by 'not if you're only looking for the person'? [17:59:38] * Emmy shrugs. "Well, what do you expect to do when you find your sister? Just give this to her?" [18:00:35] Well, she's a detective, so I was hoping that she could look into it, find out who these people are. [18:01:12] As much as I want to start punching dicks and taking names immediately, I also don't want to do anything completely stupid, you know? [18:01:23] * Emmy just smiles. "If that's all you're going to do, I'm sure the city isn't going to be TOO dangerous." [18:01:23] Your sister's a detective? That's really cool. [18:01:35] * Berny giggles at Kentaro's statement. [18:01:43] Wow, you didn't tell us she was a detective, too! [18:02:07] I'll bet she's really good at the undercover parts. [18:02:36] And probably the paying for stuff parts. Not that I'm implying she, ah, you know. [18:03:20] Well, uh, she doesn't have a liscence and she's never taken a case [18:03:37] She kinda just sits in her office drinking whiskey and watching old movies. But she's got a really nice office! [18:03:47] * Berny scratches her hair. "Oh. Haha. Well, that counts for something." [18:04:45] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014ww-ad06-238-40.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [18:06:17] Yeah. It's *really* nice. [18:07:00] Anyway, this means she gets her first case, right? [18:08:09] Oh, hey, yeah! I bet she'll be super-excited [18:10:54] * Berny smiles. "Yeah! I hope she doesn't mind us tagging along." [18:11:26] Hey, no problem! [18:15:07] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014rw-ad01-76-48.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #youkai [18:17:37] * Berny smiles a bit wider. "This should be an adventure." [18:18:09] I can't wait! [18:19:25] * Choutaro strolls up to the table. He looks pretty happy. "Oi! Megumi! You ready after school today?" [18:22:13] * Megumi grins nastily. "Better believe it." [18:23:57] Hi, Choutaro! [18:24:12] * Emmy lifts an eyebrow and glances at Megumi. [18:25:18] * Megumi blinks at Emmy. "We're having a rematch, naturally." [18:25:50] Oh. And I'll say that as if I knew what this orignally was about too. [18:26:33] Alright, perfect! [18:27:00] * Choutarou pumps his fist [18:27:07] Oh, right, you weren't around for that. [18:27:30] * Megumi smiles smugly. "I totally kicked his ass the last time." [18:32:01] Yeah, sure, barely. [18:32:10] And the arm wrestling thing, too. [18:33:57] Hey, sure, if thinkin' that makes you feel better. [18:34:57] * Kentaro grins [18:38:58] * Berny joins in the grinning. [18:42:34] Right, so after school? Behind the gym? [18:44:55] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [18:46:29] Huh? What about that place Kentaro suggested? [18:46:33] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [18:46:58] Oh! Right. In the woods, where no one can see? [18:50:10] You gotta show me where it is after. Where we gonna meet up? [18:52:25] How about outside school? [18:53:29] Sure! [18:58:34] [After school, you meet with Choutarou, and Kentaro leads everyone to a clearing in the woods. Choutarou looks excited.] [18:59:41] * Kentaro leans up against a tree. He's wearing a shirt that has an image of a squid wrapping its tentacles around what appears to be the Brooklyn Bridge, with "ACCIDENT" printed below it [19:01:39] * Berny stands in the grass with the handle of her bag in one hand, the bag dangling over her shoulder from her lax fingers. [19:04:45] * Choutarou stands, bouncing from one foot to the other, grinning like an idiot. [19:05:30] * Megumi has ditched her uniform for jeans and a dark green hoodie. She bounces on her heels slightly, not showing any indication if her arm is still hurting her or not. [19:09:19] * Choutaro's wearing a simple gray shirt and jeans. [19:15:20] Well? You ready to go? [19:17:10] ANy time! [19:17:23] * He rushes at Megumi. [19:23:53] * Megumi charges at Choutarou, leading with her left. [19:27:14] * Berny whoops and cheers. [19:35:01] * Kentaro leans forward, watching intently [19:36:10] * Megumi ducks in low and starts with a kidney punch from the left. As the fight goes, it's clear that she's not in her best form, as she's barely using her right arm at all. She's taking more hits than usual and relying more on her legs. Finally, she manages to bring Choutarou to the ground with a rather pin. "Give...up? she gasps out. [19:37:34] * Kentaro is now known as Charles [19:38:15] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [19:38:21] Oof! Man, how'd you get so tough? Ah well, that was fun. What happened to your arm, anyway? [19:40:34] * Megumi gets to her feet, letting Choutarou up. "Oh, um. That." She shuffles her feet, reddening a bit, and then finally answers. "It, um. I hurt it, um, arm wrestling...Kentaro." She cringes a bit. [19:41:30] * Emmy smirks but manages to hide it immediately. [19:42:11] * Choutaro looks over at Kentaro. "Oh, I bet you get in fights here all the time." [19:42:34] * Kentaro brushes his hair back. "It's nothing to be ashamed of. I used to be a scrapper before I became dapper." [19:42:56] Oh, yeah, more like up in the hills. I don't really hunt much nowadays, though. [19:44:28] Wanna fight now? [19:46:54] * Kentaro laughs. "Yeah, sure. Miki's gonna be pissed if she finds out, but it'll be funny." [19:47:05] Alright! [19:58:14] * Kentaro breaks to the side as Choutarou charges him, dropping into a low stance, his hands brushing the ground as he dodges. As Choutarou turns, he spins and pushes him to the ground, kneeling on his stomach and pinning him to the the ground with an arm across his neck. [19:59:15] Man, twice in one day? [19:59:41] * Kentaro laughs. "Don't feel bad. I used to do this to get food." [20:00:40] * Choutarou stands up and brushes himself off. "Yeah, I used to bet food in fights too." [20:01:57] Yeah, kinda like that. [20:04:52] * Megumi grumbles. [20:05:33] * Emmy just chuckles. [20:06:21] Oh, come on, Megumi, I'm not gonna steal him away from you. I've got ninety-nine problems already, not including Miki. [20:08:19] The hell are you talkin' about? You just wanna make me look like an idiot! [20:09:06] Not so! I probably wouldn't have had a chance if you didn't soften him up for me! Isn't that right, Choutarou? [20:09:21] I did get pretty winded. [20:10:31] ...hmph. [20:13:37] Fine, whatever. [20:16:09] * Kentaro pulls out a mirror and straightens his hair. "Besides, you still do this stuff, and I stopped doing it a long time ago. I'm sure some day soon, you'll be able to beat the shit out of me without even trying." [20:16:16] Though I really hope you don't! [20:17:59] * Megumi nods slowly, her scowl lessening. "I guess so." [20:23:14] I gotta get stronger. [20:26:01] * Kentaro smiles. "Maybe spending a year or two in the mountains will do you some good after high school." [20:28:21] That's not really a bad idea. [20:36:22] That's an awful long time [20:38:56] * Emmy comments, "But if you want to be good at something, you need to spend a lot of time on it." [20:39:24] I guess that's true. So... what do you do in the mountains? [20:39:30] * Berny nods thoughtfully. [20:39:39] * Berny offers, "Punch stuff?" [20:40:10] Maybe stand under waterfalls. [20:40:54] I see that stuff on TV all th etime, but what the heck is it supposed to do? [20:42:00] I... [20:42:01] It... [20:42:09] You're supposed to be able to keep your punches straight even past the downpour of water. [20:42:12] * Kentaro rests his head on his hand, staring off into the distance [20:42:30] Build endurance? Survival skills, maybe? [20:42:33] Huh. That makes sense. [20:45:41] What about you, Megumi, what did you do to get that tough? [20:50:44] * Megumi shrugs. "I've been gettin' into fights and trying to be the best at it since I was four. S'pretty much the only thing I've been working on my entire life. Plus, I got a goal." [20:51:39] What's that? [20:52:21] To kick my dad's ass. [20:55:30] Your dad sounds tough [20:56:11] * Megumi scowls. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I already 'splained this to you." [20:56:39] Right. Alright, when's our next fight? [20:58:48] Anytime you wanna a rematch, I'm game. [20:59:14] Hah! Alright. I'll do some more training, then I'll let you know. I'm gonna head home now. I'll see you later. [20:59:34] * Choutarou looks lik ehe's about to say something to Kentaro, but thinks better of it [21:02:08] * Emmy merely waves as he leaves, not really knowing the guy. [21:02:11] * Megumi nods. "I'll be ready." [21:02:43] * Berny waves too. [21:04:55] [Session End] End of #youkai buffer Fri Jul 10 08:35:23 2009
