Start of #Youkai buffer: Thu Jan 14 21:06:09 2010 [17:35:34] [We resume pretty much where the last sessioon ended. You're eating lunch on the roof.] [17:35:37] [Session Start] [17:35:50] [Kentaro had some kind of idea about Pink Taro and other dumb stuff. :| ] [17:36:48] So, let's break this down. [17:37:19] I change into costume, challenge him, and then you take him down before he ruins my makeup. [17:37:42] * Yon is now known as Megumi [17:38:45] * Megumi nods. "Right." [17:43:16] @_@ [17:44:41] Wait, what? [17:45:24] Well, there's some punk who's saying he's the toughest in the school after Megumi went to the trouble of proving that, right? [17:45:42] So I figured the only good thing to do is help her out. Plus, I've got to protect my spot as school's best taro. [17:46:42] Are you really the school's best taro? [17:48:10] I'm handsome, stylish, I smell delightful, and women adore me. Can you think of a better taro? [17:49:00] * Berny giggles. "You forgot to add 'has excellent self-esteem.'" [17:49:08] ((have)) [17:51:40] * Megumi just rolls her eyes. [17:59:58] I guess not. [18:04:50] There you go. [18:09:11] * The bell rings, indicating it's nearly time to get back to class [18:09:26] * Megumi shrugs. "So, after school then?" [18:09:41] I'll see you then [18:10:12] * Daisuke nods. "Later." [18:10:31] * Berny waves to Megumi and Daisuke and heads back to class with Kentaro. [18:11:22] * He heads off. [18:11:38] * Megumi wanders back to class. [18:11:39] [After school, the day seems to have gotten a bit chillier.] [18:16:50] [Nothing else of note] [18:16:53] [Where are you headed?] [18:18:06] * Megumi is looking for Kentaro and Berny. [18:18:47] * Kentaro is waiting at the school gates, having changed into a leather jacket and a grey t-shirt with a picture of a doberman with "GO TO HELL!! DAMN HUMAN!!" in pink lettering underneath it. He's drawn warpaint stripes in pink lipstick under his eyes. [18:21:18] * Megumi comes to a stop, noticing Kentaro. [18:21:38] * Megumi stares at him silently for a full two minutes before bursting into laughter. [18:24:28] * Berny is huddled somewhere by the school entrance with her school cardigan on. "Oh, hey. Did you just see Kentaro's shirt?" [18:24:38] * Berny grins. [18:25:16] * Megumi nods, still laughing. [18:27:22] * Kentaro frowns. "It was my most fierce shirt." [18:30:17] * Berny smiles. "I'd say so." [18:32:45] Anyways, let's find this Black Taro before he leaves. I'd hate to have changed for nothing [18:33:27] It's...very...fierce. Yeah. [18:35:53] * Berny nods. "Okay." [18:36:00] * Kentaro heads out, looking for some bancho who might know about Black Taro [18:36:05] I'll just...watch. [18:37:24] [This not being the 1980s, Kentaro is finding that he's having a little trouble.] [18:38:01] * Kentaro frowns. [18:38:18] * Kentaro goes looking for some tough guys who can tell him where the bancho went so he can ask them about Black Taro [18:39:31] What're you talking about? [18:41:06] Hey, wimp. I'm Pink Taro, and I'm looking for some bancho who can tell me where Black Taro went, so we can have a fight to see who's the Best Taro. [18:41:47] * The tough kid just looks at Kentaro, not sure what to say. "Um. The bancho went to... the mall." [18:41:48] * Berny tries her best to keep a straight face. [18:43:18] * Kentaro frowns. [18:44:16] You'd better be telling the truth, or else I'll come back to ask again, in a meaner voice. [18:44:35] * Kentaro turns and heads off towards the mall [18:46:22] The mall, huh? That doesn't sound all that tough. [18:48:01] [You all headed there?] [18:48:29] * Berny is. [18:52:00] * Megumi heads to the mall with Kentaro and Berny. "That was weird. You think he's messin' with us?" [18:52:11] [Later, you arrive in front of the mall. It's a little crowded today, but the weather's good again.] [18:52:19] Maybe. It'd probably make a big scene if you fought at the mall. [18:52:37] True. We'll have to do something about that. [18:52:49] We could take him out the the parking lot and fight him inside my testicles. [18:53:01] ...what? [18:53:07] * Kentaro begins scanning the mall for bancho, or tough guys to act about bancho. [18:53:16] It's a tanuki thing. Trust me, it's pretty incredible. [18:54:04] It sounds kind of potentially painful. [18:55:01] We're tougher than you'd think. [18:56:36] I...really don't wanna know. [18:56:59] Oh, but it's *so cool*. [18:57:34] There was this story I heard where a tanuki was making a deal with a merchant in his testicles, and the merchant didn't even know until he tapped his ash out on the floor. But man, if he didn't, what a swindle. [18:58:12] * Kentaro doesn't see any bancho around. Though there seems to be a crowd forming somewhere [19:00:07] * Kentaro heads toward the crowd [19:01:25] * It's mostly made up of teenage and young adult boys. They're gathering around [Game Center DX]. [19:02:37] * Megumi stands on her toes, desperately trying to see over the crowd. [19:04:13] * Kentaro begins to edge his way through the crowd. "Any of you seen some bancho I can ask about Black Taro?" [19:04:20] * It's hard to see, but there's a big sign. She can barely make out [Return of Black Jotaro] [19:05:44] * Megumi blinks. "Wait, what?" [19:07:51] * Megumi pushes her way through the crowd to get a better look. [19:08:24] Hey! Wait your turn! [19:08:29] * She does get a better look, though. [19:09:04] [There's a big poster depicting a guy in a bancho outfit. "REturn of Black Jotaro! 3rd Anniversary!] [19:10:04] * Near the front are some arcade machines. But without joysticks. INstead, there seems to be a series of pads that swing outward from inside the cabinet frame. Those playing are punching the pads. [19:12:31] * A smaller bit ont he poster says things like "Test your [platinum star punch]!" [19:12:33] * Kentaro frowns. "Wait, is that Black Taro?" [19:13:42] * Megumi stares for a second, then mutters to herself "I'm gonna kill him." [19:15:12] * There's a prominent high scores board. [19:17:32] * Looks like there's a prize, too [19:18:45] * Kentaro grins. "I guess I have to get to the top of the board to prove I'm Best Taro." [19:22:20] * Megumi smirks. "Best Taro, maybe, but good luck beating my score." [19:23:26] * Adyen (senranda@bas1-unionville55-1177734003.dsl.bell.ca) has joined #Youkai [19:24:09] * The main character seems to be a guy in a bancho outfit and wild, spiky black hair. And a hat. [19:25:53] Oh, you're so on. [19:28:21] * Megumi cracks her knuckles. "Hope this thing's sturdy." [19:30:37] * Megumi goes to line up. [19:30:52] * Kentaro gets in line behind Megumi [19:32:35] * In spite of the crowd, it moves pretty fast. Still, it's a bit of a wait before the two are assigned to machines. [19:33:35] * However, your chance comes. [19:34:41] * The screen shows a brief story clip, then shows a series of enemies as the pads swing in and out. [19:38:34] * Megumi grins and lets loose on the pads. [19:39:02] * Kentaro rears back and begins going at it [19:46:20] * Kentaro lets a flurry of punches loose, but quickly winds himself. He loses his pace when a punch goes wide and hits the metal framework of the machine instead [19:48:40] * Kentaro catches up again, but favors his bruised hand and doesn't manage to make it as far as Megumi [19:55:51] * Adyen (senranda@bas1-unionville55-1177734003.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:55:58] * Megumi opens up on the pads, gradually speeding up as she begins to learn the pattern. Partway through, she manages to look over at Kentaro without missing a beat on her own punches. "Hey Kentaro! Think you can keep up?" She finishes her last punch with a flourish. [19:59:38] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.125.35) has joined #Youkai [20:00:57] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.125.35) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:01:11] * Their scores are recorded and appear on the high scores list! [20:01:24] * Megumi has a hold on first place, it seems. [20:01:52] Wow. Great job, miss. If you're still in first when the day is out, we'll let you know. Could you give us your contant information? [20:03:21] * Megumi grins. "Sure!" She gives the attendant her info. [20:04:02] * Megumi walks back to Kentaro and Berny, the picture of smug satisfaction. [20:04:46] * Kentaro returns, looking somewhat deflated [20:07:17] * Kentaro managed to place in the top 20, at least [20:07:44] * Megumi looks to see if there are any other Taros in the top 20. [20:07:56] Wow, nice job, guys. [20:08:38] Looks like you're number one, Megumi. I can't believe Black Jotaro is just a game character, though. [20:08:58] No wonder we hadn't seen him at school. Didn't someone say he was a 3rd year, though? [20:09:51] Sure explains a lot. Except for how Daisuke got that mixed up. [20:10:38] * Berny nods. "So many weird things happen at our school, it makes you wonder, doesn't it?" [20:10:54] And like there was any doubt I was gonna win. [20:11:20] * Berny shakes her head. "Nah, I never had any doubt, real guy or game." [20:11:24] Well, I guess you gotta be better at fighting *someone* than me. Even if it is a video game. [20:11:40] * Kentaro is being pretty goddamn catty for a raccoon dog. [20:12:10] You're just mad you got all dressed up for nothing. [20:14:12] * Maybe it's the workout, but Kentaro notices the smell of something baking [20:17:29] (were there any other Taros on the high score list? :V ) [20:17:50] ( Yeah, maybe a dozen. He beat them all. ) [20:18:14] ...does anyone else smell baking? [20:18:30] Well, looks like you're still the best Taro, at least. ...huh? No? [20:18:57] * Berny sniffs the air. [20:19:12] * Megumi does take an experimental sniff, though. [20:19:32] * Smells like ... cheese. [20:20:31] ...Cheese? [20:21:06] ...Cheese. Why the hell do I smell cheese? [20:21:21] * Maybe because after you look around, you find a pizza shop. [20:23:13] Oh. Pizza. Is that what you were smelling, Kentaro? [20:24:08] * Megumi 's stomach growls. "I _am_ hungry after that." [20:24:51] I believe it was. [20:25:00] * Kentaro looks up. "I could go for some, too." [20:29:21] Pizza sounds good. [20:33:58] Great! Hey, it'll even be my treat. [20:35:03] Oh, hey, awesome [20:39:35] * Heading in, the smell gets stronger, and friends sit around in booths eating. The cashier notices you. "Welcome. WHat can I get for you?" [20:39:49] [There's a nice menu up with pictures of everything [20:40:32] Uh, yeah. Could we have a large with corn and octopus? [20:41:00] * SHe nods. [20:43:48] * She hands over a tag with the order number [20:43:49] I'll have to skip on the octopus, but I'm still always amazed by the pizzas you guy shave here. [20:44:10] ((you guys have)) [20:52:39] [Session End] [20:52:49] * Megumi is now known as Yon [20:53:12] * Kentaro is now known as Charles [20:56:52] * Berny is now known as Cheeseball End of #Youkai buffer Thu Jan 14 21:06:09 2010
