Start of #Youkai buffer: Thu Jul 30 20:58:03 2009 06[14:24:45] * Megumi glances over at the Redscarves briefly then shrugs, going back to looking out the window while she waits for her food. 01[14:27:18] * A waiter comes by and takes your orders. He leaves to get them ready, and after not long, he comes back with your food. 06[14:31:20] * Berny puts her face over the steam rising from her noodles. [14:31:20] Arright! Let's eat! 01[14:31:29] Alright, here you go. One beef ramen, one tanuki udon, a vegetarian combo ramen, and one curry udon. [14:31:36] Thank you. 06[14:32:02] * Kentaro nods, then hunches over his food, beginning to fork it into his mouth [14:33:09] ...tanuki udon? [14:33:18] Yep! 06[14:33:55] * Berny winds up her noodles delicately and eats them off her chopsticks. [14:35:57] Well I guess it's appropriate. 06[14:36:07] * Megumi starts shovelling her ramen down. [14:36:43] Well, I guess it's delicious. 01[14:37:42] * Daisuke eats his curry udon happily. It's a little splashy and yellow, though. 06[14:38:15] * Berny enjoys her meal quietly and neatly. 01[14:40:48] This place is pretty good. How'd oyu hear about it? [14:41:30] Oh, I just go out to eat a lot. My parents don't cook, and I don't either, and eating raw food kinda sucks, so... 06[14:42:26] * Berny opens her mouth to ask a question, then closes it again. 01[14:45:28] That sounds tough. 06[14:46:52] * Kentaro shrugs. "It's a little rough sometimes, but it's an aquired taste. Kikuko cooks sometimes, and hunams like us eat raw fish and stuff, right? [14:47:49] Yeah, sometimes, I guess. [14:49:02] Sure, of course. 01[14:49:47] Yeah, but... isn't tha tstuff treated first? Or at least disinfected with wasabi or something? [14:50:36] Oh, yeah, I guess. But it's an acquired stomach, too. 01[14:53:35] That doesn't sound too healthy.... but I guess you're healthy enough. [14:54:26] You can get used to a lotta things if you have to. 06[14:55:58] * Berny nods. 01[14:56:44] Well, you seem to know some good places. When I eat out again, I'm asking you for recommendations. [14:57:26] Hey, thanks! [15:00:04] Yeah, this is pretty good, Kentaro. 06[15:00:06] * Berny smiles. 06[15:00:33] * Megumi nods, swallowing before she speaks. "I'll remember this place." 06[15:03:56] * Berny finishes up her noodles and drinks her soup. [15:05:26] So, uh, what do you do aside from dig up weird skeletons, Daisuke? That's pretty much the only context in which I know you. 06[15:06:35] * Berny puts down her now-empty bowl. "I was sorta wondering that, too. I mean, what do you do besides cryptozoology?" 01[15:07:33] I like reading stuff. History, science, that sorta thing. I like sci-fi shows. 06[15:12:33] * Kentaro nods [15:13:12] I guess reading's okay. 06[15:17:04] * Berny nods. "What else?" 01[15:18:37] Video games? 01[15:23:55] * He thinks. "Sometimes I draw? I'm no good, though." [15:26:00] I dunno, that drawing of the skeleton thing was pretty good. 01[15:26:30] Thanks. That's like... technical art, though. Not like... ART art. [15:26:52] Hey, better than I can do. [15:27:12] Well...it's still drawing, right? 01[15:28:01] True. [15:28:35] Yeah. That's the kind of stuff that gets you ahead, you know? Like, if you don't know how to draw things, you can't... [15:28:36] Draw... [15:28:37] Things. 06[15:28:44] * Kentaro crouches over his soup again 01[15:29:47] * Daisuke blinks. COnfused. [15:30:55] Well, I guess that's a true statement. 01[15:34:59] Yeah, but it wasn't what he said, but... 06[15:37:19] * Berny shrugs and smiles. [15:38:18] I mean, uh, look at this. [15:38:59] I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. 06[15:40:43] * Kentaro reaches into his bag and pulls out a series of sheets of paper. They seem to have art deco illustrations of late-Taisho western fashions, with captions in French. "If the dudes who drew these didn't know how to draw real things, they couldn't have drawn this sort of thing. And then you go and look at some dude's Pixiv page and he's never even seen a girl and he's tryin' to draw them. So, you know. [15:40:54] Well, I hope you do, 'cause I don't, really. 02[15:44:42] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) 01[15:46:07] Um... I... sorta do.... kinda. 01[15:51:25] I guess... since I know the shapes, at lesat, then it's better than a lot of people that say they're artists? [15:52:24] Yeah, more or less [15:52:42] See, it sort of makes sense. 01[15:55:37] I guess... what, I just put the skeleton back where it was? Even if there's more to it, I dunno if there's anything else I can do there. 06[15:56:51] * Berny shrugs. "I guess so. Maybe rebury it where you found it." 01[15:57:12] * Daisuke nods. [15:57:34] I guess so. Kinda sucks, though 01[15:58:59] Yeah... I figured this might've been my chance to make it big. [15:59:28] But hey, I'm sure there's other chances out there. Other weird animals that haven't been discovered and stuff. 01[16:00:02] That's true. [16:00:04] Yeah. What about, like, sasquatches? I wouldn't mind throwing those guys under the discovery-bus. 01[16:00:24] Where the heck am I going to find one of those? [16:00:39] I dunno. Tibet? [16:01:43] I wouldn't mind fightin' one of those. [16:01:49] Or maybe they might have some up in Hokkaido, for all we know. 01[16:07:04] Fighting a sasquatch? [16:07:14] Of course! It'd be awesome! 01[16:09:32] It'd be silly. What are you going to say? [16:09:55] Well, talking doesn't seem all that necessary in a fight... [16:11:02] I dunno. Can sasquatches even talk? If it said anything maybe we could talk trash for a bit. Otherwise I'd just punch it in the face to get things started. 06[16:12:00] * Berny laughs. 02[16:20:04] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-242.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: :D) 03[16:20:55] * Megumi is now known as Yon 01[16:21:08] [Session Pause. Or End. We'll see!] 03[16:16:48] * Now talking in #Youkai 03[16:16:48] * excelsior.esper.net sets mode: +nt 03[16:16:49] * ChanServ sets mode: +nt-o Demota 03[16:06:54] * Now talking in #youkai 03[16:16:29] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #youkai 03[16:16:36] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [16:17:25] Any preferences for continuing the ramen shop talk or skipping to Saturday? [16:18:34] Not especially. :/ [16:20:10] Hm. [16:20:16] Maha? [16:20:30] I was sort of hoping since Adyen was back we could probably drag Emmy back in or something. :| [16:21:30] I'm okay either way. ^^ [16:21:35] No real preference. [16:22:10] Let's continue the ramen shop. It'll be easier to reintroduce Emmy at the start of a scene than in the middle of one. [16:22:16] Go ahead and get IC 03[16:26:21] * Cheeseball is now known as Berny [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] 06[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? 06[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. 06[16:29:47] * Berny grins. 06[16:29:56] * Kentaro laughs [16:30:58] I mean, if you were, we'd know. 06[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. 06[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." 06[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? 03[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! 06[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 06[16:50:08] * Kentaro laughs. "We should maybe wrestle one day, Megumi. Maybe arm wrestle." [16:50:14] Or thumb wrestle. 06[16:53:40] * Megumi smirks at Kentaro. "Bring it on, anytime." [16:54:02] At this table? 03[16:54:27] * Emmy (senranda@74.12.123.50) has joined #youkai 06[16:55:34] * Kentaro rolls up his sleeve. "Hey, might as well. It's been a while." 06[16:55:45] * Berny clears away dishes from the wrestling area. 06[16:57:04] * Megumi grins and rolls up her sleeve. 06[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 06[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] 06[17:27:20] * Berny is still looking a bit sleepy, and she's polishing off the rest of her fruit and crackers. 06[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." 06[17:28:38] * Megumi sulks at the table as she eats, seeming to be favoring her right arm a bit. 06[17:29:27] * Berny waves listlessly. "Hi, Emmy. Haven't seen you in a few days." 06[17:30:53] * Kentaro sits down at the table, fishing his bento out of his bag. "Hey, ladies." He looks up. "Oh, hey, Emmy." 06[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. 06[17:32:42] * Berny sips noisily from the straw in her juice box. 06[17:33:16] * Megumi looks up. "Oh, hey." [17:33:57] Oh, hey, cool! Thanks! 06[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? 06[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. 06[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... 06[17:43:23] * Kentaro shrugs. "Getting things done isn't really something my family does." 06[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? 06[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? 06[17:54:13] * Berny nods. "Sure. I'll go." 06[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'? 06[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? 06[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. 06[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! 06[18:03:47] * Berny scratches her hair. "Oh. Haha. Well, that counts for something." 02[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 06[18:10:54] * Berny smiles. "Yeah! I hope she doesn't mind us tagging along." [18:11:26] Hey, no problem! 03[18:15:07] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014rw-ad01-76-48.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #youkai 06[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?" 06[18:22:13] * Megumi grins nastily. "Better believe it." [18:23:57] Hi, Choutaro! 06[18:24:12] * Emmy lifts an eyebrow and glances at Megumi. 06[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. 06[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. 06[18:34:57] * Kentaro grins 06[18:38:58] * Berny joins in the grinning. [18:42:34] Right, so after school? Behind the gym? 02[18:44:55] * Demotafk (demota@71.202.41.240) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [18:46:29] Huh? What about that place Kentaro suggested? 03[18:46:33] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota 01[18:46:58] Oh! Right. In the woods, where no one can see? 01[18:50:10] You gotta show me where it is after. Where we gonna meet up? [18:52:25] How about outside school? 01[18:53:29] Sure! 01[18:58:34] [After school, you meet with Choutarou, and Kentaro leads everyone to a clearing in the woods. Choutarou looks excited.] 06[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 06[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. 01[19:04:45] * Choutarou stands, bouncing from one foot to the other, grinning like an idiot. 06[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. 01[19:09:19] * Choutaro's wearing a simple gray shirt and jeans. [19:15:20] Well? You ready to go? 01[19:17:10] ANy time! 01[19:17:23] * He rushes at Megumi. 06[19:23:53] * Megumi charges at Choutarou, leading with her left. 06[19:27:14] * Berny whoops and cheers. 06[19:35:01] * Kentaro leans forward, watching intently 06[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. 03[19:37:34] * Kentaro is now known as Charles 03[19:38:15] * Charles is now known as Kentaro 01[19:38:21] Oof! Man, how'd you get so tough? Ah well, that was fun. What happened to your arm, anyway? 06[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. 06[19:41:30] * Emmy smirks but manages to hide it immediately. 01[19:42:11] * Choutaro looks over at Kentaro. "Oh, I bet you get in fights here all the time." 06[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. 01[19:44:28] Wanna fight now? 06[19:46:54] * Kentaro laughs. "Yeah, sure. Miki's gonna be pissed if she finds out, but it'll be funny." 01[19:47:05] Alright! 06[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. 01[19:59:15] Man, twice in one day? 06[19:59:41] * Kentaro laughs. "Don't feel bad. I used to do this to get food." 01[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. 06[20:04:52] * Megumi grumbles. 06[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? 01[20:09:21] I did get pretty winded. [20:10:31] ...hmph. [20:13:37] Fine, whatever. 06[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! 06[20:17:59] * Megumi nods slowly, her scowl lessening. "I guess so." 01[20:23:14] I gotta get stronger. 06[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. 01[20:36:22] That's an awful long time 06[20:38:56] * Emmy comments, "But if you want to be good at something, you need to spend a lot of time on it." 01[20:39:24] I guess that's true. So... what do you do in the mountains? 06[20:39:30] * Berny nods thoughtfully. 06[20:39:39] * Berny offers, "Punch stuff?" [20:40:10] Maybe stand under waterfalls. 01[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. 06[20:42:12] * Kentaro rests his head on his hand, staring off into the distance [20:42:30] Build endurance? Survival skills, maybe? 01[20:42:33] Huh. That makes sense. 01[20:45:41] What about you, Megumi, what did you do to get that tough? 06[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." 01[20:51:39] What's that? [20:52:21] To kick my dad's ass. 01[20:55:30] Your dad sounds tough 06[20:56:11] * Megumi scowls. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I already 'splained this to you." 01[20:56:39] Right. Alright, when's our next fight? [20:58:48] Anytime you wanna a rematch, I'm game. 01[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. 01[20:59:34] * Choutarou looks lik ehe's about to say something to Kentaro, but thinks better of it 06[21:02:08] * Emmy merely waves as he leaves, not really knowing the guy. 06[21:02:11] * Megumi nods. "I'll be ready." 06[21:02:43] * Berny waves too. 01[21:04:55] [Session End] 03[21:05:54] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014rw-ad01-76-48.dynamic.mts.net) has left #youkai 03[21:06:26] * Berny is now known as Cheeseball 03[21:06:39] * Emmy is now known as Adyen 03[21:10:06] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.123.50) has left #youkai 02[21:30:24] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-212.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: ZzzZZzzzZ.) 03[07:41:58] * Rebekah (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #youkai 02[07:43:36] * Kentaro (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) 03[07:53:44] * Rebekah is now known as Charles [16:57:12] * Now talking in #Youkai [16:57:13] * excelsior.esper.net sets mode: +nt [16:57:13] * ChanServ sets mode: +nt [16:59:15] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-212.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) has joined #Youkai [16:59:15] * Yon (dlarmour@wnpgmb1303w-ad03-43-222.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Youkai [16:59:31] * Charles (CHBoucher@dsl2-161.gsinet.net) has joined #Youkai [17:07:20] I'll ask again in here [17:07:37] Last session took place on saturday. [17:07:51] Today can be either sunday or Monday. So, a school day or a non school day [17:08:02] I've got a big paper to write, so I've got to be mostly hands-off. [17:08:50] I've got no real opinion [17:09:59] I don't have strong feelings either way. [17:12:54] I dunno, we haven't really done a session on a holiday, have we? [17:13:42] I don't remember anymore what things we're working on in game. We figured out the fox thing, somewhat. Are we still working on that? I think next we were going to see if we could help Kentaro figure out the thing with his house? [17:13:43] I don't think so, yeah [17:14:23] I don't think we have done a session on holiday. That could be interesting. [17:14:35] What do your characters normally do on Sundays? [17:15:08] Berny studies a little, probably, and probably stays at home and reads. [17:15:20] I figure that Kentaro spends time with his family and with Miki. [17:20:10] Hm. [17:20:24] Alright, so Kentaro might head out if he goes with Miki or his family. [17:22:54] Hm. Maybe they visit Berny's? I dunno. [17:23:01] I don't know a whole lot about her family, come ot think of it [17:23:28] Her family's in the states. [17:23:33] * Demota nods [17:23:39] Does she live by herself? [17:23:45] Yup. [17:23:53] Unless you want to set her up with a host family. [17:24:04] Heh. Nah. That'd be up to you [17:24:11] Megumi probably works out and watches TV. [17:24:20] She'll be living alone, then. :) [17:24:21] Wrestling? [17:25:14] Any sport that directly involves fighting. And tokusatsu shows. [17:25:19] Haha [17:26:38] Hm. [17:27:03] (or even sports that aren't directly focussed on fughting, she probably watches hockey for the fights. :V ) [17:27:07] hahahahaha [17:28:50] Okay, so, what might be a good incentive to head over to say, Berny's/ [17:30:22] Hm [17:30:51] I was thinking ideas like "A tree fell in front of her door and she needs help lifting it" but that's dumb and she probably lives in an apartment. :| [17:31:20] Hahahha [17:31:59] Hahaha, yeah, it'd probably be a small apartment. [17:33:33] Well, if it's a suprise visit, Kentaro might think the idea of someone spending their weekend doing productive things is wasteful, and might want to get her out of the house. :| [17:34:29] Hahaha. [17:34:34] Well, as long as it provides an impetus to get them together [17:34:44] She's definitely not one to get out much, so that'd make sense. [17:36:10] Alright, so what's gonna happen? Kentaro just zooms up and says "Let's go play"? [17:36:17] Or call,s I guess [17:36:49] What happened last game? I think I wasn't here for that one. [17:37:29] I can't remember, it's been like 3 weeks [17:37:47] Choutarou and Megumi fought in the woods. [17:37:51] Then Kentaro beat Choutarou [17:37:58] And Megumi's kinda "Grrr" [17:38:34] Pretty much. [17:39:02] Kentaro beat Choutarou? [17:39:51] Yep [17:41:18] Oh, yeah. In retrospect, I kind of wished he failed, but the whole 'choosing not to do well' thing causes cognitive dissonance for me still. :| [17:41:33] I can't quite remember what started it, but he challenged Kentaro to a fight after losing to Megumi. [17:41:43] Wow. Hehe. [17:42:13] Oh, right, it was because Megumi was fighting with only her left arm because of arm wrestling Kentaro. [17:42:46] Hm. [17:43:24] Alright, so "Kentaro gets an uarge to call everyone out" sound like a good enough start for a session? Maybe we could figure out a good reason for him to drag everyone out and half fun. [17:43:44] Like... I don't know, a sale. Or a new store opening. [17:44:31] * Charles nods [17:44:47] Alright, go ahead and get IC [17:44:47] I think the only stores and sales Kentaro would be interested in wouldn't be interesting for anyone else. :| [17:44:51] * Charles is now known as Kentaro [17:44:58] Like what? [17:45:47] Like clothing, or western movies, or whatever. Kentaro's kind of a pop-culture leech, compared to everyone else [17:46:34] * Demota nods. [17:46:54] Hm. [17:47:17] * Cheeseball is now known as Berny [17:47:19] Well, feel free to come up with a movie Megumi might like. I'm pretty sure Berny'll watch anything. [17:47:48] [Sunday morning...] [17:48:12] [It's a remarkably sunny day, and a little hot.] [17:48:37] [We begin at Kentaro's home] [17:49:00] [He's just remembered, there's a movie he wanted to see coming out today] [17:49:03] [Session Start] [17:51:32] * Kentaro in his room in the old shrine, getting things ready for another day of being a person, when he realizes that a movie's coming out today! He gets out his cell phone from under a pile of school clothes and punches out an email to the others, his fat tanuki hands fumbling with the keypad. [17:53:01] * It reads: "Hey, they just dubbed the new Hamlet, want to have some fun today?", sent to Berny, Miki, and the foxes. And another email, sent to Megumi reads "Hey, there's an awesome movie with ghosts and everyone dies! Want to come see it?" [17:54:43] * Replies start to come back. [17:54:45] * Berny texts Kentaro back, "Hamlet in Japanese? Hehe. That'd be interesting. Where are we meeting?" [17:55:10] Sure. It's been a while since we went out on a nice date together. [17:55:43] Oh, Shakespeare. I don't know how Hollywood is handling it, but I couldn't turn that down. [17:56:23] Hello~ (^o^) sounds fun. lets go. [18:02:51] * Kentaro texts back to Berny "There's like one theater in this town, so how about there in an hour?" [18:03:40] * Berny responds, "Okay. See you!" [18:04:57] * Yon texts back "ok!!" [18:05:28] * Yon is now known as Megumi [18:05:44] * Kentaro changes into his human form, checking himself in the mirror, and pulling on a pair of skinny jeans, with a glittering rhinestone belt buckle that says BAPE and a polo t-shirt with a picture of a stylized robot on a houndstooth background [18:05:48] * Megumi texts back "ok!!" [18:06:56] * Kentaro heads out from the shrine, saying goodbye to his folks on the way out and grabbing one of the eggs his mother foraged, cracking it into his mouth and throwing the shell onto the floor, then gets on his bike and heads to the theater [18:09:03] [In front of the theater... there isn't exactly a huge crowd. It looks like a nice enough theater, but it's a small town. Miki, SHizuru, and Natsuki already wait there] [18:11:28] * Kentaro takes a swig from a bottled water he picked up on the way to clear the wild bird egg taste from his mouth, and ties his bike to a bike-rack. "Hey, foxy ladies! Hey, Miki!" He strolls over and puts an arm around Miki's waist. "What's up?" [18:12:08] * Berny strolls in dressed, probably in the first time any of her classmates have seen her, in something other than her school uniform. [18:12:47] Oh. Uh, nothing much. I guess it's good to see everyone here. I just thought... never mind. At least we can unwind a bit. [18:13:59] * Berny waves somewhat bashfully at the others. [18:14:18] * Megumi shows up a bit late, wearing jeans and a light grey hoodie (does she even own any other types of shirts?). "Oh, hey. Everyone's here? I didn't think this was your sort of movie." [18:15:39] Oh, yeah, it's pretty intense. [18:16:10] * Berny blinks at Megumi. "I didn't know it was -your- kind of movie." [18:16:29] But I guess there'll be at least one fight, right? [18:16:38] ...huh? [18:16:38] * Kentaro turns to Miki. "Hey, don't worry. We can sit in a different part of the theater, it'll be great." [18:16:44] * Megumi looks suspiciously at Kentaro. [18:16:46] If we want to talk to them, we can just shout! [18:16:58] * Berny glances over at Kentaro and Miki. "Oh, uh, yeah. We'll sit somewhere else!" [18:17:07] Ah... yeah. Right. [18:19:27] * Kentaro heads up to the ticket booth. "Hey, two for Hamlet?" [18:19:47] * The ticket-taker nods and the tickets get bought. [18:20:34] * Berny goes to buy her ticket, too. [18:21:41] * Megumi goes up to buy her ticket. "Hey, Kentaro, you never told me what the movie was called." [18:21:55] Oh, uh, it's Hamlet! [18:24:08] * Megumi frowns. "Sounds familiar for some reason." But she buys the ticket anyway. [18:24:58] * Kentaro heads inside the theater. "[HAMURET!]" [18:25:31] * Miki sighs a little and follows Kentaro. Though she cheers up a bit. [18:27:08] * Berny slips inside the theater and starts looking for somewhere to sit...on the other side of the theater from Kentaro and Miki. [18:28:19] * Megumi looks for a seat, preferably far away from the happy couple. [18:29:28] * Shizuru and Natsuki sit by each other. [18:30:52] [The lights dim soon] [18:32:54] * A couple hours later, the movie is over. There was only one fight. Two if you count stabbing a guy behind a curtain. And only one ghost. [18:33:21] * Shizuru and Natsuki look pleasantly cheerful. [18:36:00] * Kentaro has an arm around Miki's shoulder in a distant corner of the theater, idly reaching up to play with her hair. As he notices the lights coming up, he disentangles himself and stretches [18:37:20] * Miki leans against Kentaro. Though as the lights come up, she restraightens herself. [18:40:54] * Kentaro yells across the theater. "How'd you guys like it?" [18:41:02] * Berny seats herself somewhere, leaving an empty seat for Megumi in case she wants to join her, and settles in to watch. [18:42:49] * Megumi wakes up at Kentaro's yelling and glares at him. [18:44:00] * Berny glances up and over at Kentaro and simultaneously blushes in embarrassment and tries not to giggle audibly. [18:44:14] * Miki frowns. And scoots away. Slowly. [18:47:41] * Berny returns to watching the movie. [18:49:54] * Kentaro sits through the credits in case there are any bonus scenes at the end, then heads out, waiting for Miki, provided she's currently inclined to walk anywhere with him. [18:51:20] * Berny sits until the entire credits are over, too. [18:51:48] * Miki sighs, then walks with Kentaro. "Well, that was nice while it was running." [18:52:09] Yeah, but aren't most things? [18:52:37] * Shizuru and Natsuki walk out, hand in hand. [18:52:57] * Megumi is out of the movie theater as soon as the credits start, and waits outside, scowling. [18:53:13] * Berny makes her way back over to join everyone else once the whole thing is over. [18:54:36] So, what did you think? [18:55:42] * Berny shrugs and smiles. "It was Hamlet-y." [18:56:23] * Megumi glares at Kentaro. "Asshole. You made me pay money for that!" [18:56:58] Hey, you're part of the drama club now! I'm gonna make you pay money for dumber things before the year's over! [18:57:10] What'd you tell Megumi it was going to be? [18:57:15] Besides, you fell asleep before everyone died. You totally cheated yourself. [18:57:23] Oh, a movie about a ghost where everyone dies. [18:57:32] * Berny laughs. [18:57:51] Well, I guess it's not technically a lie... [18:58:49] Very little I do is *technically* a lie. [18:58:52] * Kentaro smiles [18:59:01] * Megumi fumes. "I'm gonna get you back for this. I don't know how, but somehow!" [19:01:05] It's... sort of true? [19:02:46] * Berny sighs. "Poor Megumi." [19:03:42] Well, I enjoyed it, at least. [19:04:50] Yeah, I definitely had a good time. And the movie was pretty decent, too. [19:07:35] So, uh, as long as we're out, anyone have anything else in mind? [19:08:58] * Berny shrugs. "I dunno. Don't you usually, uh, go shopping for fancy pants or something?" [19:09:27] Yeah, food. [19:09:51] I wouldn't say that's what I *usually* do. It's more of a special occaision thing, you know? [19:10:04] If every day is fancy pants day, pretty soon no day is fancy pants day. [19:12:39] * Kentaro brightens up. "Hey, eating things, that's a plan! I haven't eaten anything today except egg." [19:13:43] * Berny laughs and nods. "But, yeah, food sounds good. We'll need to find somewhere with good steak, though. I think we might owe it to Megumi after dragging her to Hamlet." [19:15:48] * Megumi nods emphatically. "Damn right." [19:16:37] Some meat sounds good right about now. [19:17:00] What do you think, Miki? Want to keep going? [19:18:35] I'm fine with that. [19:20:10] * Kentaro nods. "Man, I dunno that much about steak. I usually don't have meat that's cooked that much." [19:20:32] You could ask for steak tartare. [19:23:23] They make such a thing? [19:23:56] Uh... well, it's not technically steak. It's ground beef, they crack an egg over it. It's a French thing. [19:25:02] * Kentaro cradles his chin in his hand. "A french thing, you say? Then it must be fashionable! I'll do it." [19:26:08] * Berny looks amused. "It looks good, but I've never tried it." [19:26:25] French food? Well, that could be nice. [19:28:23] * Megumi smirks slightly at Kentaro. [19:30:21] * Kentaro pulls out his phone, popping open an application that reccomends restaurants. "Does anyone have any ideas where we could go, or should I let Toshiaki decide?" [19:31:00] I know a few places. But... I don't know if you could-... actually, there are a couple places you may be able to afford. [19:31:06] Who? [19:32:23] Oh, uh, the Internet. [19:33:34] * Kentaro smiles. "Yeah, I guess we've got to languish in poverty and endure third-string restaurants, instead of hitting the heights of luxury you're used to. Sorry, Shizu-kun." [19:34:40] Oh, it's fine. We've been trying to cut down on spending a bit lately. [19:36:48] * Megumi looks at Kentaro blankly. "You were going to ask someone on the internet where to eat?" [19:39:34] * Kentaro looks at Megumi blankly. "You don't?" [19:40:19] ...no? [19:40:32] Wait, do you ask them where to get your pants, too? [19:47:27] Oh, heavens no. If I don't find them myself, what's the point in looking like the best hunam I can? [19:48:14] ...riiiiiight. My bad. [19:48:23] * Miki just looks away. [19:58:46] * Kentaro puts his hands in his pockets. "What?" [19:59:36] Well... at least you've been trying harder lately. I think. [20:01:24] Well, only a little. [20:01:44] I don't want to try too hard and sprain my try-harder, because then things will become terrible! [20:01:49] * Kentaro grimaces at the thought [20:02:13] Um... yeah. [20:02:24] * Megumi just stares blankly at Kentaro. [20:03:02] Y'know, real people don't talk like that. [20:03:10] Well, there's a restaurant called Platinum... wait, the others probably wouldn't appreciate the wait-staff. [20:04:29] They don't? [20:04:32] * Kentaro looks worried [20:08:13] Tell me, Megumi, how do normal people talk? [20:09:27] Like normal people! Do you get the internet to tell you how to talk, to? [20:11:42] What's wrong with the wait-staff? [20:14:01] Nothing. Why, they're lovely and beautiful to behold. Which is why they probably aren't well-suited for a group like this. [20:14:01] Nah, they don't have that application for my phone, yet. [20:14:52] * Berny tilts her head, not understanding. "Meaning...?" [20:16:30] I doubt you're interested in women. [20:19:22] Hell, I'm a guy and I'm only barely interested in women, if it wasn't for Miki [20:19:34] I can't even imagine how hard it must be for you guys to keep it up. [20:20:04] Oh. But I don't mind pretty women, either. [20:21:30] Really? [20:21:36] Hey. [20:24:35] OH, there's the Lillian. You might like that. [20:25:36] Hm? [20:26:09] French restaurant, moderately priced, not so many bunny suits. [20:28:15] Oh, wonderful. [20:28:54] So how much do you not mind pretty women, Berny? [20:29:59] * Berny blushes a little. [20:30:23] Oh, um, well, I'm not saying I've ever thought of girls -that- way, but pretty anyone is still nice to look at. [20:30:37] * Natsuki nods. [20:31:15] * Berny muses over that for a moment. "I've never dated a girl, but I've never dated a boy, either." She shrugs bashfully. [20:34:15] Shall we go? [20:34:21] * Kentaro cracks his knuckles. "Can the redscarves in the audience save the recruitment speech for later? I'm getting pretty hungry." [20:34:36] * Natsuki pulls out her cell phone and hit sa few keys. [20:36:01] I'll lead the way. [20:36:06] * She starts walking towards the train station [20:38:37] * Berny walks along. [20:39:15] * Kentaro lags behind with Miki. "Hey, it's not all bad. If I didn't fuck this all up by inviting them, we wouldn't be going to a French restaurant." [20:39:16] * Megumi seems a bit confused by the conversation, but follows along. [20:39:30] * Miki smiles a little. "Yeah, that's true." [20:40:21] Besides, maybe we'll get to see Natsuki try and recruit a new redscarf, and that's always pretty funny. [20:40:40] [Not long after, you arrive at a clean-looking French restaurant uptown. is what the sign reads, underscored by katakana. [20:43:49] * A young long-haired girl stands. "Oh, welcome to . Party of 6?" [20:44:20] Looks pretty nice. I hope the French have vegetarian food. [20:44:56] I guess we'll find out! [20:46:02] * Megumi mumbles "S'long as they have meat, an not just snails n' shit." [20:47:37] * Berny giggles at Megumi's comment. [20:48:41] * Kentaro crosses his arms. "Snails are meat." [20:50:06] It's all in the sauce. [20:50:15] Party of 6. [20:50:27] * The girl nods. "Alright, please follow me. I'll lead you to your table." [20:53:33] * Berny follows the girl. [20:53:46] * She walks and has you seated. She leaves some menus with you, and heads off after taking drink orders. [20:57:43] [Session Hold] End of #Youkai buffer Thu Jul 30 20:58:03 2009
