You're the Next Captain of the Nadesico

[hontobakabaka]

[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.]

[ooeeooahah]

You've not been gone long, I think. Less than a week. You might want to check on Scott, since he is back.

[Ruri, that figure next to you is starting to stir. And even though it takes him a while, his eyes are finally opening - and when he sees who's next to him, he jolts awake]

I- Ruri?!

[Guess which Health/Gym teacher is totally being a horrible influenced and popping in just so he can get some free chocolates when he thinks she's not looking?]

[Sorry Ruri, Rin didn't notice you yet. She's running around the perimeter of the house to check out the freaking spaceship.

She hasn't had a stronger urge to hijack one of her housemate's stuff since Roshian's tank...]

Holy mother of God, what is-- Ruri?!

[Have a befuddled Quinn at your fence.]

[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?

The Cafe is still around. You've only been gone a couple of days here, so nothing new has happened outside of Mayfield's general weirdness.

[He's just standing on the sidewalk, staring in awe. That's okay, right?]

Wow...

Action 3

[sunnysnakeup.livejournal.com]

[Sunny's finally gotten enough courage up to be further away from her assigned home after that mess, and naturally, the new giant thing in the sky makes her a little curious. Although she was very careful as she came over to find it, who knows what it was, she'll stop for a bit to watch Ruri as she's messing with the holoscreens, before approaching.]

E-excuse me...?

[imoutos]

... Ah, Hoshino-san..! [ Nadeko sounds pretty surprised, even over the phone. ]

You came back..?

Nadesico

[Color her impressed.]

My men need to learn to make one of these.

Nadesico

[The appearance of a giant ship in Mayfield's skies is enough to get Caesar to trek out to Beulah for a closer look. This better not belong to another giant evil asshole and... that's... okay, that ship really is that huge.

It's not that he doesn't notice Ruri there. He does! But he's taking a moment to stare at the Nadesico and try to decide what exactly he is looking at here.]
