Anata no Ichiban ni Naritai

[Spring break has come, and everyone is still being an idiot about that stupid dance.  How is Ruri reacting?]

Action 1  Around town

[For most of the week, shortly before the neighbors start throwing furniture at each other but after sunrise Ruri heads outside her home at 2242 Stevens Road and waters a patch of dirt by the front fence, then takes a walk to the park and sits by the pond reading till about 10.  However, normally she would nod to people, now she's just sort of staring at the ground as she does so.  Feel like stopping her?  Go ahead]

Action 2  Cosplay Cafe

[Ruri always shows up to work early, gets changed and tends to open her shift by sweeping the sidewalk in her maid outfit, after a little while though, especially if its slow, she'll be seen in the back, a 24' holographic screen hovering in front of her, with either an anime on, or playing a video game.  Mind you, if a customer shows up she'll be up and handle them quickly, but its all in her usual deadpan]

Phone  No Filters

"I have a question, maybe the wizards would know, maybe people who know more about men.  My town approved brother, he spends 6...  7....  Sometimes 8 hours in the basement...  'Keeping his snake happy.'  Is this normal for 16 year old wizard boys because it seems a little odd to me.  That being said, I don't know a thing about magic, but some of the odd noises from down there.  I guess this is why he made everyone agree to not go in the basement."

[Ruri peers at the girl and briefcase for a moment, then closes her eyes and takes a breath]

"....Good morning."

... oh...

... ... good morning...

... no, it's okay...

... it doesn't look like they're back yet...

...

... or somebody scared them off recently...

"Are you waiting for the fish too?"

"I've never seen a duck before."

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
... oh...

... they're delicious if prepared right...

"Really? So this is for dinner... I see.."

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
... yes...

... but it looks like I'll have to try back another day...

[She nods a little and peers at the water]

"Were they here last year?"

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't know... I've only been here since November of this world's calendar...

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did someone say they were here?"

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
...

... no...

... but this pond is perfectly suited for ducks...

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes, but this town is a bit odd."

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
... that's true...

...

... but there's not much to do around here, so observing this area for ducks is a way to kill time...

... though, it's always interesting to see what kind of regains people get...

"I just got my computer back. But he's going through some diagnostics. Mr. Lucius said Tom may be putting pictures on him so I'm doing a full security scan."

*ping*

... can I see it...?

[She closes her eyes and a holographic monitor appears in front of her]

"Omoikane is an AI, so please don't do anything funny... He's my friend."

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
... okay, I won't...

*if there's not any sort of obvious interface, she's just... going to probe gently at it with her own innate interface ability*

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-04-19 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[She may see that Ruri herself is the interface, she can make verbal requests, but it all is channeled through nanobots hooked up to her central nervous system]

"Thank you."

[identity profile] has-a-name.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
... oh... you're the interface...?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-04-20 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes. Neural linkage."
