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.]

Y-you have the charts? [She looks a bit interested] C-can I see?

[A screen appears, larger than Ruri is tall, full of fairly complicated quantum physics equations.]

This is the first part of the theory behind it.

[Sunny looks and makes a small 'o' face. Her eyes seem to be analyzing the equations, and recognition then lack of recognition passes as she scans through them. Some of this stuff makes total sense to her, the rest, not so much.]

A-amazing... I-it's really complicated, though...

Its still fairly experimental. They've only been used by the Earth fleet for about a decade in my time.

O-One hundred and eight-eighty nine away from me...

[She ponders a bit]

Still, this place gets people from all different times and places, but more tend to be from your time than mine.

[Sunny nods a little]

Y-yeah... T-though my father here, he-he's from a while into the future t-too.

I see. Do you get along with him? I know some of the people here are nice and some are.... Questionable.

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
He's nice! [She smiles a bit, then holds her hand up a little] B-but really tall.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles a little]

That's good. It must be nice to be tall, but that's something I'll never experience.

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sunny shakes her head]

N-no, he's ab-abnormally tall. E-even Snake would look small next to him.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:24 pm (UTC)(link)
As long as he's nice. That's the most important part.

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sunny nods]

He is. Um, but w-what is this ship called?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
The Nadesico. She's the third Nadesico ever made, the one made for me, though I was also captain of the last one.

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Nades-Nadesico? And you're the ca-captain?

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[she nods a little]

I've been lucky to serve on all three.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
So are you studying quantum physics? Or is it just a hobby?

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
M-My Uncle Hal's more into things like that. R-right now I prefer A.I.s and computer programs.

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-02 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hrm, that's my specialty too. Maybe after I get acclimated I could let you talk with Omoikane for a bit.

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
Omoi... [Sunny pauses, before she smiles a bit] Oh! I think I spoke to you on the phone once!

[identity profile] hontobakabaka.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Its possible. It has been a well, long time for me. I did try to greet everyone on the phone. Or at least everyone who wasn't an idiot.

[identity profile] sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com 2011-12-04 10:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Sunny looks unsure how to take that. She didn't quite hear the call, so does that still make her an idiot? Ruri, you're totally getting this face.]
