Start of #Youkai buffer: Fri Oct 16 10:08:49 2009 [17:31:33] [Practice continued into the evening, then you parted ways...] [17:32:10] [Megumi and Kentaro get their parts down a bit firmer. Much to the relief of Miki.] [17:33:13] [[A couple days pass. Now it's Friday at lunch. For those buying, it's a croquette today.] [17:33:15] [Session Start] [17:38:56] * A bored-looking short-haired girl is sitting in Megumi's seat, poking away at her cell phone. [17:41:14] * Megumi approaches the table with a tray of food and comes to a stop. [17:41:59] * Berny wanders up to the table with her bag lunch, and she blink-blinks at the girl sitting in Megumi's seat. [17:42:20] * The girl continues poking away at her cell phone. [17:42:37] Um...hi! [17:43:23] * The girl looks up. "Hi?" [17:44:09] * Megumi shrugs and steals Kentaro's seat since he's not there yet, continuing to eye the new girl. [17:47:14] * She finishes with her phone. Then starts eating her croquette. [17:48:17] * Berny sits across from the girl, where she usually sits across from Megumi. "Did you, um, want to join us for lunch?" [17:49:00] Huh? Oh. Thanks for the invitation. [17:52:30] * Berny pulls out her sandwich, fruit, crackers, and juice out of her bag and arranges them neatly on a spread napkin in front of her. [17:53:27] So...uh...what's your name, and what year are you? [17:56:52] Torino... 2nd year. [17:57:16] * Megumi scowls. "So what do you want?" [17:58:05] Want? Didn't she invite me to join you for lunch? [17:58:37] * Berny looks at Megumi and shrugs helplessly. [17:59:53] * Megumi 's scowl deepens. [18:02:33] Anyway, nice to meet you. [18:03:59] Yeah, nice to meet you. I'm Blackwood, third year. [18:04:32] It's good to meet you, Blackwood-sempai. [18:04:56] You can call me Berny, if you want. [18:06:51] * Megumi continues to eye her darkly between bites from her lunch. [18:06:55] Oh, should I? I don't know if that'd be polite. [18:07:12] Oh, well, whatever you're comfortable with. [18:07:17] * Berny smiles faintly. [18:07:47] We usually call each other by our first names where I come from. [18:07:58] Oh, where are you from? America? Italy? England? [18:08:06] * SHe pokes away at her cell phone some more [18:08:45] * Berny nods. "Yeah, America." She pauses. "Is there something wrong with your phone?" [18:09:11] Just managing e-mails. [18:09:50] * Kentaro arrives in the cafeteria, slouching towards the table, his bag held in a hand. "Hey, boys and girls, what're the haps?" He looks half-asleep. [18:10:59] Oh, hey, Kentaro. [18:11:12] * Berny waves at him. "Torino joined us for lunch today." [18:11:29] Oh, that's neat! Who's that? [18:11:46] She's a second year. [18:14:00] * Megumi continues glaring at her. "So what do you want, anyway?" [18:14:21] * Kentaro nods, slowly. "So, uh..." [18:14:48] * Kentaro looks at Berny, then Megumi, and finally Torino. He sits down. "Sorry, hunam girls all look alike to me." [18:15:08] I had some sunflower seed cakes I ended up forgetting at home. So I figured I might as wlel just buy today. [18:15:31] * Berny stifles a giggle at Kentaro's comment. "Sunflower seed cakes?" [18:15:59] Oh, yes. They're tasty. [18:16:09] I don't think I've tried those before. [18:16:40] * Berny chews her sandwich through an awkward silence. [18:17:10] ...So. Where do you usually eat, Torino? [18:18:31] Usually the rooftop. It's a pretty nice view. [18:18:40] * Torino taps her cell phone. "Great for pictures too." [18:20:26] Are you trying to start somethin' or are you just this dense?! [18:20:51] * She frowns. "You don't want me here?" [18:22:34] * Berny is busily eating and keeps quiet. [18:23:31] * She sighs. "Oh well. Now that it's stopped raining, I can take more pictures. It was good to meet you, Blackwood-sempai." [18:23:38] * She picks up her stuff and heads off. [18:25:11] * Megumi glares at her as she leaves. "The hell was that all about?" [18:25:52] * Berny hurriedly swallows and waves. "Nice meeting you too! Have fun taking pictures..." [18:26:18] * Berny shrugs. "I don't know. I think I've seen her around school before, but we've never met." [18:26:51] * Emmy (senranda@74.12.130.189) has joined #Youkai [18:27:39] * Kentaro frowns. "That was sort of rude. But she wasn't a hunam." [18:27:56] She wasn't? [18:28:21] Or maybe she was just a weird-smelling human. [18:28:33] * Berny finishes her sandwich and wipes the crumbs from her lap. "What did she smell like to you? I can never tell." [18:28:55] * Megumi takes her seat back. "Well, whatever. She's annoying." [18:29:06] You know her? [18:30:17] No. [18:31:31] Hmm. [18:31:39] * Berny glances off in the direction that Torino went. [18:31:43] I think I'll be right back. [18:32:16] * On the way, Berny runs into Daisuke. "Oh, hi." [18:32:33] * Berny jumps as if startled. "Oh, Daisuke! Hi!" [18:32:58] ARe you done with lunch already? [18:33:45] Oh, not yet. I'll be back at the table soon. My lunch is still there - if you go to join us, can you make sure no one steals it? [18:33:53] Oh, sure. [18:34:08] Thanks, Daisuke. [18:34:30] * He cotninues to the lunch table. Though someone still has plenty of time to eat Berny's food. [18:34:40] * Emmy was sitting with some of her club members off to the side, talking while everything was happening. As she finished her conversation, she went up to the table and looked at the others. "Oh hey. How's everyone?" [18:35:00] * Kentaro yawns and nods. "Heeeeeeeeey." [18:36:05] * Berny , meanwhile, heads for the rooftop to look for Torino. [18:36:16] * Daisuke seems a bit cheerier today. "Hi everyone." [18:37:06] * Emmy sits down and waves. "Oh hi! How's it been? I haven't seen you around for a bit. Busy with anything?" [18:37:26] * Megumi looks up. "Oh, hey." She seems to have forgotten her annoyance. [18:37:53] * Emmy glances at Megumi. "You still up for practice today?" [18:38:10] Just lots of studying, and maybe trying to find something new for the club. We kinda hit a dry spell. People are bringing up yeti again. [18:39:37] How about the scare goat? [18:40:43] Oooh. The scare goat? What's that? It sounds promising. [18:41:10] Oh, it's this goat that, supposedly, faints when it's scared. Hold on. [18:41:31] * Kentaro takes out his phone and opens up a Nico Nico Douga video of a fainting goat [18:41:34] * Megumi nods at Emmy. "Yeah." She turns to Daisuke. "Hey, remember, if you find a yeti, you gotta tell me." [18:42:32] Is... does that really count? I guess it's kinda cool. [18:42:39] * He looks to Megumi. "Yeah. Sure." [18:48:15] * Megumi grins at that. [18:49:01] Oh, play stuff? [18:53:20] * Emmy nods while taking another bite. She glances at Megumi to hint that maybe she should say something. [18:55:51] * Megumi nods. "Yeah, uh, we...sorta played tag. 'cept I could only chase her if I was reading my lines." [18:56:34] So who won? [18:57:07] * Emmy just amusedly continues to eat. "It's not really a matter of who winning and losing." She says gracefully. [18:57:21] * Berny re-enters the cafeteria and sits back down at her seat. "I'm back. Oh, hi, Emmy." [18:57:53] Hey, I caught up. ...eventually. [18:58:25] * Berny gets to work on her fruit and crackers. [18:59:14] So it was a success? Oh, hi again, Berny. [18:59:28] * Berny has her mouth full, so she waves instead. [19:00:35] * Emmy chuckles. "It was a good way for her to learn her lines, even if it is little by little. And it's fun for those watching too." [19:01:26] Oh, the play practice yesterday. That was fun. [19:01:50] (( Er, sorry. a few days ago, not yesterday. )) [19:03:10] * Megumi tries to affect a scowl, blushing slightly. "Yeah, yeah, hilarious." [19:04:16] But you did a good job, Megumi. [19:05:01] Yeah, you're definitely doing better [19:06:13] * Emmy drinks from her bottle of water. "Of course. I don't do things without an idea of what I want the results to be." [19:11:02] Sounds like the drama club's definitely going places. [19:11:15] Hmph. You've got everything all planned out, huh. ...really, though...thanks. [19:11:32] I can't wait to see the play. [19:11:35] * Berny smiles. [19:12:18] * Kentaro smiles. "Of course." [19:13:09] * Emmy chuckles. "I wish I had everything planned out, but I can only do so much." [19:13:26] Oh, did you see that short-haired girl with the phone earlier? [19:14:52] Oh, Torino? What about her? [19:16:02] ...what about her? [19:16:45] Oh, that's her name? Thanks. After getting shot down by a few redscarves, I was thinking about revising my strategy. [19:17:00] You...like her? [19:17:24] Well... I... dunno... may... be? [19:18:54] Oh, well...um...I hope you don't mind, Megumi, but I actually sort of invited her to eat lunch with us sometimes if she wanted to. [19:19:38] * Daisuke brightens up. "Really?" [19:19:47] * Berny nods. [19:20:01] You...oh, fine. [19:20:26] * Megumi grumbles. "...s'long as she doesn't take my seat next time." [19:20:27] * Berny ducks her head a little. "Sorry I didn't ask you beforehand. I did tell her that she was sitting in your seat, though." [19:24:55] So these weird goats... are you sure they count? They don't seem mysterious or weird... they seem more... defective? [19:26:30] I just don't believe they exist. They're just so... impossibly tragic. [19:27:06] Goats...? [19:29:09] Like on the video.. [19:30:28] * Daisuke looks at the video [19:30:41] I dunno, I think they're kinda funny. [19:30:52] ...yetis are far more interesting, though. [19:30:53] * Berny peeks over to see the video. [19:31:01] Oh! I've seen those before! Fainting goats? [19:32:06] It's like they're in a war movie [19:34:48] A war movie...about goats? [19:34:50] Sergeant Fujimura. Here is a picture of my girlfriend at home. When I get home, I will propose to her. Chaaarge. Oh no, I have fallen. [19:34:57] Like that. [19:35:16] * Kentaro laughs [19:35:34] * Megumi blinks at Daisuke, then starts to crack up. "Probably be a lot better than that movie with the witches." [19:36:52] What movie is that? [19:38:36] It...fuck. [19:39:03] * Megumi looks over at Kentaro, Emmy, and Berny for help. "I dunno if I can even explain it." [19:39:15] I've supressed it already. [19:42:21] * Emmy just shivers. "It's bizzar." [19:44:32] Now I'm curious. [19:45:54] Movie tickets are pretty expensive, though. I guess I'll wait until I can rent it. [19:46:37] * Emmy snorts. "Good luck making more sense of it than we did." [19:47:45] Was it... good? Bad? [19:49:24] Can't you get it off the internet or somethin'? It's not even worth a rental. [19:49:43] That bad, huh? [19:50:39] I mean, I guess if you're a business owner *and* you're from medieval europe it's pretty spooky [19:54:27] ... what? [19:55:30] * Emmy giggles and nods, finishing off her lunch. "Oh, you'll see when you watch the movie. Or not." [19:56:18] Yeah, I still don't know what he's talking about. [19:57:31] I... if you say so. [20:00:21] What's it called, anyway? [20:02:43] * Emmy says the same like she's swallowing a rock. "Witches Strike." [20:03:11] That sounds kinda familiar. [20:06:29] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014uw-ad04-69-225.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:08:53] * Emmy shrugs. "They did a lot of promo for it, I guess." [20:14:18] I...may have been the only person who thought it was scary. Even though I didn't really get it, either. [20:14:21] * Berny blushes a little. [20:23:22] * Yon (dlarmour@wnpgmb1303w-ad03-42-185.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Youkai [20:23:28] * Yon is now known as Megumi [20:24:15] * Lunch time grows short. [20:24:19] * Daisuke finishes his food. [20:24:45] * Berny sucks noisily at the bottom of her juice box. [20:26:25] * Any plans after lunch? [20:26:29] * School, rather [20:28:17] * Emmy once again helps Megumi practice after school, but has gradulated to doing the tag outside in the courtyard with trees and other distractions. [20:29:29] * Megumi seems to be taking to the 'training' much in the way that she takes to training to punch things. [20:31:19] * Berny sits in a tree in the courtyard and watches the antics below. [20:33:44] * Emmy seems to be moving slightly faster than she was when they were practicing inside her clubroom. "You're doing pretty good! Soon, we'll move to the point where you won't have the script in your hand at all." [20:36:28] You're on. [20:38:26] * Emmy hops back and grins. She reaches behind her back and brings out a small fan, which she opens in front of her face. "Should I up the difficulty even more?" She asked with a hidden smile. [20:41:20] * Megumi stares her down. "Bring it." [20:42:59] * Berny weaves a flower crown and kicks her feet as she sits on the branch above, watching. [20:45:41] * Kentaro is sitting with his back against the tree, paging through his script [20:47:01] * Emmy mocks a bow and said, "Well, since you asked so nicely... Tomorrow, you'll be doing this without the script. But I'll mark down certain places on the ground where you cannot pass through. You'll have to catch me without touching or passing through those areas." [20:48:02] * Kentaro pauses, laughing. "Did anyone else notice that Daisuke kind of had a thing for Torino?" [20:48:57] * Berny looks surprised as she glances down at Kentaro. "He admitted it openly." [20:49:47] * Daisuke is not here, having gone to invsetigate this fainting goat thing. [20:49:55] Well, sort of. [20:50:17] I'm not sure it's healthy that he's pursuing her because the Redscarves won't date him, though. [20:50:30] * Berny chews on her lip thoughtfully. [20:51:49] Either way, you know, it's kind of funny. [20:52:39] * Berny nods absently. "I wonder if she'd be interested in him at all. She sort of struck me as being kind of lonely." [20:52:45] * Megumi smirks at Emmy. "No problem." She turns to Kentaro. "Yeah, it's kind of weird. I guess. Not used to him being interested in anything besides, y'know, weird animals." [20:52:55] * Berny laughs at Megumi's statement. [20:52:58] If you think about it, he still is. [20:53:00] * Kentaro smirks. [20:53:23] Hey, Kentaro, did you ever figure out what she smelled like to you? [20:54:34] * Berny says her question on the quieter side. [20:58:05] Naaah. But odds are, it's something crypsozoomological. [21:00:16] * Berny taps her lip thoughtfully. [21:01:59] * Emmy pauses in the middle of helping Megumi to ask Kentaro, "Say, do you know where Miki is? I want to talk to her about Megumi's practice." [21:02:24] I'm her boyfriend, not her keeper. But hold on. [21:02:43] * Kentaro bashes out a quick email to Miki on his phone regarding Emmy's desire to talk to her [21:03:07] * Kentaro gets a reply soon. "Emmy? How is that going?" [21:03:58] * Emmy nods. "Pretty good, but I want to ask Miki something about how the play's going to go. Can I talk to her after we're done here?" [21:06:12] * Kentaro types out 'She's doing her best. She wants to talk to you, I guess." [21:06:35] * Miki replies. "I guess that's fine." [21:13:59] {When's good?} [21:15:06] * Megumi cocks her head. "So what're you gonna ask her, anyway?" [21:16:45] * Emmy giggles at Megumi and says, "It's a surprise for you. Just know that it'll help your training." She turns back to Kentaro and tells him, "Maybe in 10 minutes? I think we can wrap today up then." [21:17:20] * Kentaro punches that in [21:18:05] {Okay. I'll talk to her then. Tell Megumi to keep working hard.} [21:18:53] * Emmy quickly throws a line from a chapter that wasn't directly next to the one Megumi was on, and then runs behind the tree Berny was on. [21:19:05] Keep workin' hard, Megumi. [21:19:21] * Kentaro takes a sip from his iced tea and slowly turns the page on his script [21:19:45] * Berny darts a glance behind her toward Emmy. [21:20:38] Oh, fine. [21:20:46] Surprises are good. [21:23:55] * About ten minutes later... [21:26:45] * Emmy has almost been cheating the entire time. Each time Megumi would finish the lines of hers Emmy would throw out a line from a completely different chapter. [21:27:32] * Kentaro frowns. "You're bad at this. How is she going to learn her cues?" [21:28:53] * Emmy is in the middle of a dodge so she just giggles. "I suppose that's what you guys are going to practice when you do actual stage practicing." [21:30:38] Just don't confuse her too much. If this makes more work for Miki and me, she'll be very upset. [21:31:58] I promise she'll have her lines memories in every order by the time I'm done. [21:32:27] Please, just the one. [21:33:32] * Berny finishes her flower crown and aims carefully as she drops it so that it lands lightly on Kentaro's head. [21:34:21] * Kentaro looks up and laughs, his dour mood broken [21:34:57] * Berny grins. "You can give it to Miki if you want." [21:36:45] Oh! Thanks! [21:36:51] Sure! [21:43:40] Hey, c'mon, I'll get it in the right order. ...I think. [21:46:14] {She about ready yet?} [21:47:17] * Kentaro punches in "Yeah, I think you'd better get here before Megumi suffers brain damage" [21:47:26] * Emmy giggles. "Well, once you know all the cues, it won't matter much what order the lines comes from. All that's left is to make sure your acting and lines match, and that'll come after tomorrow's training." [21:48:00] {Alright. I'm on my way.} [21:49:49] * Not long after, Miki shows up. [21:49:52] So what's going oN? [21:50:59] * Emmy notices Miki arrive and waves at her. "Oh, good. I just wanted to talk to you about how your stage is going to be. Megumi's pretty good with the lines now, so I thought I'd add some extra difficulty to the practice." [21:52:05] * Berny waves at Miki. "Hi, Miki!" [21:53:27] Hey Miki. [21:54:17] * Kentaro looks up at Miki and smiles. "Heeeeey lady." [21:54:23] Hi everyone. [21:54:38] * Miki looks to Megumi. "So how's practice going?" [21:56:04] Good! I mostly remember my lines now. Mostly. [21:57:50] That's good to hear. [21:57:56] Emmy, you wantd to say something to me? [21:59:47] Oh, right. I want to know how you're going to be placing the props on the stage when you do the play. I want to get Megumi used to moving around the props even while practicing her lines." [22:01:13] You mean like at real rehearsal? [22:02:28] * Emmy shrugs. "If you want. Right now, it's just a way to make things easier for Megumi to intrigrate this training with what she's actually supposed to be doing." [22:04:57] So you want me to go to the stage, get the props, and set them up. [22:06:08] Is that right? [22:07:19] * Emmy shakes her head. "Nope, just tell me where they are and what shape and it'll be good enough. I'll make sure Megumi has extra incentive to avoid it..." She grins in a slightly evil way as she said that... [22:08:19] They're mostly just cardboard cutouts on stands. [22:08:41] * Kentaro frowns. "Don't be stupid, don't hurt the actors." [22:08:56] * Emmy takes out a sheet of paper from her bag and a pen and asks, "Could you draw it out generally how they're praced in the scenes?" [22:10:03] Pft, like she could hurt me. [22:10:41] * Miki frowns, but draws it out. [22:12:20] * Emmy looks at the paper and thinks a bit. "Hmmm... I'll have to see if I can borrow the stage tomorrow after school, but it should be interesting." [22:13:32] * Kentaro shakes his head and gets up. "Hey, Miki, I'm kinda feeling a headache. Do you want to get something to drink and relax in the woods?" [22:13:40] * Berny regards this entire scene with some interest but doesn't contribute. [22:14:12] * Emmy nods to Miki. "Go ahead. We're pretty much done for today unless you want to quiz Megumi's memory on the lines." [22:14:25] * Miki nods. "Yeah, sure. There's something I'd been meaning to ask you about anyway." [22:15:57] * Kentaro nods. "Away we go. Oh!" He takes the crown of flowers off of his head and balanced it on Miki's. "I think it looks better on you, anyways." [22:16:38] * Miki blinks. "Oh. Wow. Thanks, Kentaro. How thoughtful..." [22:18:27] * Berny smiles. [22:18:38] * Kentaro smiles. "Well, Berny made it. And suggested I give it to you." [22:18:44] * Berny waves them off. "Have fun!" [22:18:52] But I actully gave it, so clearly the credit naturally rests with me. [22:18:58] * Megumi snickers a bit. [22:19:24] * Kentaro waves, and heads away [22:19:26] * Miki laughs a bit. [22:19:31] * Miki walks off with Kentaro. [22:29:35] [Session End] [22:29:43] * Emmy (senranda@74.12.130.189) has left #Youkai [22:32:13] * Megumi is now known as Yon [22:33:14] * Berny is now known as Cheeseball [23:02:14] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-71-138-135-199.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) Quit (Quit: ZzzZZzzz...)
