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.]

Action - 2

[After equal parts of freaking out over Ruri being droned and moping around about the possibility that she might be gone, he's in for a bittersweet surprise at school]

R... Ruri? Is that really you?

[She looks up from her desk and blinks, smiling slightly]

Mordred, its been a while since, well, no I was told it was a week here. Its me. Just from a little later.

[He wants to hug her but she's... older]

Oh.... um. Yes.

[Awkward homunculus is awkward]

[She smiles and gets up, giving him a hug]

Its good to see you again though.

[personal profile] sonthatdisappoints 2011-12-06 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I-it's good to see you, too...

You've gotten... taller.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Only a couple of centimeters. I'm still considered short.

[personal profile] sonthatdisappoints 2011-12-06 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
But you're still taller than me.

[Sucks being the clone of a short woman]

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-06 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
Really?

[She ponders, Ruri will barely make 5'0 in her life she will never be tall.]

I thought she was like 5'4" when she's older?

[personal profile] sonthatdisappoints 2011-12-07 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmm... well what do you know, he's still a little less than an inch taller. Though, it shouldn't matter...right?]

Nope, she's 150cm tall

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-07 10:51 am (UTC)(link)
[She doesn't seem to think it matters, but she's used to being short]

Wow, even Saber's taller

[personal profile] sonthatdisappoints 2011-12-09 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Well normally it wouldn't but men are supposed to be taller if they're... wait never mind. He can't have impure thoughts like that! Change of topic is in order]

How much has changed in your world?

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.

Yep

[personal profile] sonthatdisappoints 2011-12-11 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
So even though they are dead, there is still much to be done?

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

Sometimes, the death of a person is all that is necessary to change the world. [Quietly]

....Yamada-san. Yes.
