hontobakabaka | 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.]

I'll need more incentive than that to ever dress like a girl again.

Oh, right. You used to do it at home.

One time! And I was forced into it!

[She looses her deadpan completely and just breaks out in a giggle fit that it doesn't seem like she can stop]

[His life. It is pain. ALL OF THE PAIN. So he'll just calmly wait out the Yukiko-esque giggle fit because dammit it's adorable and he can't deny it]

[Eventually it subsides, till she looks at him, and it starts again, then subsides again and she regains her usual deadpan]

Just the look on your face...
