Start of #Youkai buffer: Thu Dec 10 23:18:28 2009 [18:39:09] [Friday.] [18:39:19] [Yesterday, you managed to get the bird back to its home.] [18:39:42] [Now, it's lunch time. Today is ramen with edamame on the side] [18:39:45] [Session Start] [18:41:09] * Kentaro is, as usual, hunched over his meal [18:47:26] * Miki walks towards the table and has a seat. "Hi Kentaro." [18:48:08] * Kentaro pulls himself up. "Heeey, lady, what's up?" [18:48:44] Hi Kentaro. Most of the new members are starting to pull together better, so things are looking up. [18:50:59] How are things going for you? [18:51:55] * Kentaro smiles. "Not terrible. I ended up working yesterday so I could get away from that stupid girl, but it wasn't so bad [18:53:30] The stupid... oh, you mean Emmy? [18:54:54] Yeah, that's the one. [18:56:22] * Miki eats, but she looks a bit distracted. [18:57:43] What's up? [18:58:23] * Miki blinks. "Huh?" [19:00:24] Oh, you just looked like you were thinking. And I figured there was, you know, one of those things. [19:00:26] A problem. [19:00:47] Well, not really a problem, just a decision. [19:04:16] What's that? [19:04:21] * Megumi enters the cafeteria but comes to a stop, noticing Miki and Kentaro talking. She tries to eavesdrop as subtly as possible. [19:06:07] * Miki blinks a bit. "Well, we kinda figured out what we'll do on our own after graduation... but what'll happen to... you know. Us." [19:11:11] * Kentaro slowly stops chewing. [19:12:42] I, uh, good question. [19:12:43] * Megumi 's eyes widen and she listens more carefully. [19:14:02] I guess, uh, before we get there, there might be something I, uh, ought to tell you. [19:14:50] Like what? [19:16:25] Well, uh, have you ever seen Pom Poko? [19:17:15] Yeah. [19:18:18] What were your thoughts on it? [19:19:03] * She thinks. "I guess I liked it, but it was kinda sad... but I don't think it could have ended any other way." [19:21:47] * Kentaro nods on it. [19:22:06] If I show you something that'll blow your mind, do you promise not to freak out? [19:22:44] I... maybe? [19:24:30] * Megumi swallows nervously, still listening intently. [19:26:50] * Kentaro frowns. "I dunno if maybe's good enough. I'd be taking a pretty big risk, you know?" [19:28:40] You take big risks all the time. But I guess it's really up to you and what you're comfortable with. [19:31:04] * Kentaro half-smiles. "I only take them if I know I'm going to win, lady." [19:32:53] * Miki blushes a bit. And talks extra quiet. "Um... anyway, I was thinking... before we graduate, and before we might have to split up.. uh.." [19:35:07] * Kentaro laughs and holds up a hand. "Not if we're going to split up. That's, uh, not how I play it." [19:35:41] * She nods. And looks a little relieved. [19:36:29] Well, not necessarily... split up, split up. Just... it might be a while before we see each other agian. [19:37:10] Look, I guess that even if you flip your shit, I kind of owe it to you to let you know what's up. I mean, it's been, uh... Well, a super-long time, you know? How about you just meet me in the woods after school? [19:37:46] * She blinks. "Uh... okay." [19:40:49] Like... after school when? [19:41:05] Um, is there practice today? [19:41:31] Well, optional practice. [19:42:18] I should still be there to oversee it. [19:44:08] * Kentaro nods. "I guess I'll come too, then." [19:45:23] * She nods. [19:45:26] * She resumes eating. [19:46:06] How are you and Megumi doing now? [19:46:43] Oh, uh, I haven't actually practiced with her in a while, but I got my stuff down. [19:53:43] That's good to hear, at least. [19:55:21] Oh, you know me. Always reliable, all the time. [19:55:55] * Megumi takes this oppurtunity to approach the table with her lunch, acting like she just got there. "Hey guys!' [19:56:18] Hey, what's up? [19:56:19] Hi, Megumi. [19:57:51] * Megumi takes a seat. "Not much." [20:06:04] There's practice today if you wanna come. [20:06:10] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014sw-ad02-13-33.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:22:50] * Yon (dlarmour@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-36-149.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Youkai [20:24:01] * Yon is now known as Megumi [20:24:54] Sure! I can show you how much better I've gotten! [20:25:45] * Kentaro grins. "I'll look forward to it." [20:27:55] Oh, perfect. [20:31:55] Sounds like you've been working at it pretty hard. [20:33:06] You bet! Me an' Emmy've been practicing like crazy. [20:38:30] [After School...] [20:38:32] * Kentaro mumbles. "Practicing like stupid, maybe." [20:38:59] ( Hold until the scene's really over. If Megumi heard it. ) [20:39:27] * Megumi sticks her tongue out at Kentaro, but otherwise doesn't respond. [20:41:12] [After School...] [20:41:24] * Miki's in the drama club room, busy checking attendance. [20:42:46] * Kentaro is sitting next to Miki, leaning back in his chair and looking over the room [20:48:40] * Megumi appears to be warming up for practice. Oddly, her warmup routine looks more appropriate for preparing for intense physical activity. [20:51:05] What kind of warmup is that? [20:52:41] Huh? Oh, just getting myself psyched up. [21:05:01] I can do anything if I'm fired up enough. [21:05:18] Huh. Well, let's see it. [21:11:00] * Megumi nods. She glances over her script for a moment, puts it down, and taking a deep breath, begins one of the Oni's big speeches. [21:13:14] Well, you seem enthusiastic enough. [21:15:02] Of course! Like I said, me and Emmy practiced the hell outta this! [21:16:02] * Miki laughs. [21:16:11] Hey, maybe you can try to fire up the others. [21:19:44] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-67-125-23-88.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #Youkai [21:21:07] * Berny peeks into the drama club meeting room through the door. [21:21:21] * Megumi scratches her head. "You sure about that? I don't wanna scare 'em off" [21:21:27] True. [21:22:33] * Berny spots Megumi and Miki and quietly squeezes in through the half-open door, then sits down unobtrusively somewhere. [21:23:03] Hey Berny! [21:23:14] Hey, Megumi. Are you guys practicing? I hope I'm not intruding. [21:23:16] * Kentaro is fast asleep in his chair [21:23:37] * Berny glances at Kentaro and stifles a giggle. [21:24:05] Yeah, he just... kinda fell asleep. [21:24:58] * Megumi walks over. "This has potential." [21:25:00] * Berny smiles at Miki. "It must be nice to be so...relaxed." [21:28:36] We could use him for a prop. Or write on his face, classics are classics for a reason. [21:28:57] * Berny grins. "What would you write on him?" [21:29:08] I'm staying outta this. [21:30:49] Maybe one of the dumb things he has on his shirts all the time. [21:33:05] * Berny thinks. "I'll watch you do it." [21:34:59] * Megumi finds a marker and whistles cheerfully as she writes a goofy slogan from one of Kentaro's t-shirts on his forehead. She stops a bit to ponder her work, and then draws a large pair of balls above it. [21:35:36] * Berny laughs quietly and takes a photo with her cell phone camera. [21:35:42] * Megumi stands back and admires her work. [21:37:41] * Berny presses some keys and e-mails off a copy of the photo to Megumi. [21:40:40] * Miki laughs a little. [21:41:52] Ah, what am I gonna do with him... [21:42:21] Would you like a copy, Miki? And do you think Kentaro would appreciate one? [21:42:50] * She thinks. "I'll think about it later. [21:44:11] * Berny nods and puts her phone away. [21:45:11] * Megumi snickers. [21:47:52] I wonder what he's planning on telling me. [21:52:33] Yeah, I-I mean, huh? [21:52:46] Huh? He was planning on telling you something? [21:53:10] Oh, right. He mentioned he was going to tell me something earlier today. I'm getting a little curious about it [21:55:47] He's probably gonna tell you that he's secretly a superhero or somethin'. That sounds like the kind of 'dramatic confession' he'd make. [21:56:55] True, true. [21:57:54] Hmmm. [22:03:03] ...you really think it's somethin' serious? [22:08:31] Well, I guess I'll see. [22:11:49] * Berny nods. "Now I'm curious too." [22:14:32] [Session End] [22:18:39] * Megumi is now known as Yon [22:20:49] * Yon (dlarmour@wnpgmb1307w-ad02-36-149.dynamic.mts.net) has left #Youkai [22:42:58] * Berny is now known as Cheeseball [22:43:06] * Cheeseball (mahamari@adsl-67-125-23-88.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has left #Youkai End of #Youkai buffer Thu Dec 10 23:18:28 2009
