You're the Next Captain of the Nadesico

[The past few days there had been a drone of Ruri running around, but now she was replaced with some normal unremarkable drone girl in the house on Stevens as Ruri woke up just before sunrise in a new house, in a new bed, next to a sleeping figure with a confused look on her face.  Outside the house at 947 Beulah Street, hovering over it with its loading ramp down covering part of the driveway hovered the Nadesico-C, sitting there as the sun just began to glisten off its hull.]

Action 1 - 947 Beulah Street

[Dressed in a simple dressing gown and bathrobe Ruri peers about the house, she looks a bit older than she did just days ago, though not much.  She walks outside to look around, looks at the address and lets out a breath.]

Two years...  I see.  I wonder how long its been here.

Phone -

I'm not sure how long I was droned, several years passed at home so I'm not sure what has been happening here.  I remember a nuclear bomb attack and that's about it.  The town seems to think I'm the guidance counselor at the High School now.  If the Cosplay Cafe is still open could someone let me know?  Also if there is any new data to be analyzed.  Also apparently the Nadesico is here with me, though I need to check all of her systems over.

Action 2 - School

[Ruri walks into the school, now not as a student but as the force that guides the children to mental stability and prosperity.  You may find her wandering the halls occasionally, or sitting in her new office, putting out a bowl of little chocolates.  After school you will find her sitting at cheer-leading practice, looking horribly unimpressed.]

Why is coaching this my job again?

Action 3 - The Nadesico

[Its big, its shiny, its just hovering there, over the house, and the lot behind the house, and the street....  Its really freaking big.  Ruri is at the entry ramp going over several holoscreens and "hrm"ing a lot.]

Fightin' robots? Man, this just gets cooler and cooler.

Ya know, I've always wondered if we can throw something so hard, it'll loop back around through the town...

I told you she's short

We found Yurika, and Akito. They're alive, they just were... Well, the people responsible are dead. We were looking for Akito so we could... Cure him I guess. It was so complicated.

I'm not sure there is enough power in the systems to do that but it would make sense if that was what happened.

Well, I guess it ain't important, but it'd sure as hell be fun.

[This is his Hatch side speaking. The side that likes to play with dangerous things. Be glad fire won't be involved.]

Yep

So even though they are dead, there is still much to be done?

You lost me after the missiles part. [Assuming those are what he thinks they are, anyway.] Distortion field? Astevalus?

Isn't there always? Humanity doesn't stand still, it still tries to run forward, rarely with any understanding of what that means.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-12 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
A distortion field is an energy barrier that will stop most forms of energy projectile and several forms of physical ones. It will also do fairly terrible things to flesh if they come in contact.

An Astevalus is a 10 meter tall humanoid robot that a pilot can control. The Nadesico had a compliment of 6 to act as fighters and to handle the smaller targets that it couldn't easily target.

OOOOH! Thanks!

[rips it open and starts popping them in his open mouth, speaking as he chews]

You know, it'd be great if we had "cheat codes". And hacks. Those are the best.

So late....

I'm sure they can figure something out, or at least get ideas from this model. What is is fueled with?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose, but then we'd have a more complicated understanding of the methodology that this place runs on.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
Nuclear reactors when in atmosphere, phase transposition engines when in space.

[She frowns for a moment, she'd never heard of those types of fuels.]

I'm sure we're not far from using the same.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
Here? I doubt it, atomic power is still new in the time Mayfield is set in and Phase Transposition engines are new in my time.

So sorry! The notif monster ate this!

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh really? How much?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd have to get the catapult system working first. Its reading off line but intact.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
I'm missing fuel rods for them. The parts are all there, just no material to use to generate power.

S'all good bro, no worries

Name your price - anything you want.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'll consider it, but... You have to deal with the sulking.

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2011-12-15 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's nothing I haven't done before. I never told you, did I? This isn't my first time living with Teddie.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
No, you haven't told me. Do I want to ask about the sordid details?

Sorry for the late reply, I've been the suck lately.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
Its just a way of keeping sane for me I guess. If I can put it in terms that I understand it isn't so overwhelming.
princeofjunes: (stfu ted I'm on the phone)

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2011-12-15 11:42 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that bad a story, I just have to remember where to start. I told you about the TV world and the shadows and all that, right?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-15 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, and your persona was your shadow or something.
princeofjunes: (all out attack)

[personal profile] princeofjunes 2011-12-15 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, we actually found Teddie inside the TV world, but back then he was just a hollow bear suit. It was... weird, and that's being nice.

But one day Teddie came out into our world, took off the suit, and - well, the best way I can put it is that he found a way to grow a body. Well we couldn't just ditch the stupid bear, so I took him home, and one long convoluted lie later he started living at my place.
