Fidning yourself in the 'Hot Springs Episode'

[hontobakabaka]

[Christmas was over, but under her tree Ruri had found a box containing her favorite neko costume and a card pointing to an area in the Nadesico that had been newly recovered.  The Onsen.  Taking a few days to enjoy it all to herself, she has been somewhat absent as of late unless you live with her in which case she's been spending a lot of time on the ship.  However now she has decided to deal with the outside world again]

Action 1 - Locked to those listed below

[If you are GLaDOS, Death, Death, Minato, Scott Pilgrim, Minato, Hiccup, Quinn, Crowe, Caesar, America, Cuba, Spain, Taiwan, Nadeko or Madoka then Ruri is knocking on your door with a box under her arm and a slight smile on her face.  If she lives with you odds are there is a gift too, but you'll have to get her at home because knocking on her own door seems silly to her.]

Action 2 - School

[Your guidance counselor is back today and for more than a half hour or so.  If you are in an art class she may be sitting in the back, or if you are the kind to try and snag some free peanut butter cups there is a bowl of them on her desk when she's in the office.]

Phone - Drone Filter only

It seems its been about a year I've been here and a lot of terrible things have happened but we've all well...  Done as we do.  This time the city decided to return to me the Nadesico's onsen and while I have enjoyed it for a few days, I think things like that are best shared.  I'll be opening it to general use if you promise not to fight in it, or generally make a terrible mess of things.  Actually those are the rules of any of the Nadesico's facilities that may open up.  I'm not here to pick sides, I'm here to try and understand this place and do what I can to help keep people sane.

Action 3 - The Nadesico Onsen

[Ruri has just finished cleaning it and is sitting outside reading a book.  There is a side with pink curtains and a side with blue ones, and if one were to peer inside, there is the an onsen that probably takes up too many resources for a sane war captain.  Good thing the Nadesico has never been captained by a purely military mind.]

Well, if you are sure. Perhaps both can be arranged, just not at the same time.

[princeofjunes]

That's probably for the best. I'm not sure my brain could handle a towel wrapped kitten in the onsen.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

We could go to the pet store and get a kitten, but I'm not sure an onsen is right for one.

[princeofjunes]

[Well played, Ruri]

So much for that cute nickname. I'll have to try something else.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Ruri is fine. Really.

[She smiles a bit and leans on his arm]

Also looks like a great place for a party, if ya ask me.

[He takes the box with a grin.] Thanks. I'll make this up to ya later. Christmas kinda got sidetracked early this year. [He'll open it up!]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Its just a USB data transmission device with some of Omoikane's movie database. Mostly cartoons and things confiscated from crew members because of dubious taste and being infected with viruses.

They've all been cleaned though.

As for a party, the whole men only side and women only side may put a damper on that.

[commentboxtroll]

...great. [WELL, nothing has come up about it yet. He shall go on hoping the drone failed miserable.] Journals?

[He pages through one of them, careful not to bend any pages.]

Heh. I guess I have no more excuses for using all that loose leaf paper now.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

They're probably much easier to organize. Also, if you'd like, I can set aside maybe 4 or 5 rooms on the Nadesico for your group to study whatever it is they do unmolested.

[commentboxtroll]

They are. [Pfahahaha, study?] I'm not sure what they would study, but I'll keep that in mind. That ship doesn't happen to have a bigger sort of meeting room, though, would it?

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

There is the hangar.

[imoutos]

Still, to get a present for someone like me.. a-and to even call me your friend, I'm.. really happy.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

I'm glad. I really hope that you enjoy it.

[She smiles and nods]

They're a pair of mittens and thick wool socks. Given how things have been, I thought that to be the most useful.

[imoutos]

Ah, they will be v-very, very useful! [ she bows - as a way of saying thanks, probably. ]

I'll make sure to wear them a lot when I go outside..!

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Just enjoy them. Being cold is no good.

[imoutos]

Hmm, I agree.. Snow is a little fun, but just cold is no good at all, ehehehe. You'll just freeze.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I was given special clothes at home for dealing with extreme cold. I just got them back too, so, I wanted my friends to be warm too.

[imoutos]

Ah, really..? [ she blinks. ]

But there won't be extreme cold here, right..? W-well, not extreme, at least, I hope..

[bread_goes_bip]

Only one way to find out then! Luke and Slugger are wild about them, but I think at their age anything with the word cookie in the name will please.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I can't blame you for that at all.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Eh... Its a cute neko snowsuit so even if its not extreme, its cute. But that really isn't all that important.

[imoutos]

Ah, it's nice if it's cute though..! [ she clasps her hands together. ]

I really like cute things.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

You're not much older than I am, now. Makes me wonder if I'm going to wake up as a "father" once I turn 18.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

[Ruri nods, looking just a little embarrassed]

I do too, I just don't usually admit to it.

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

I know it happens to some people here, but doesn't happen to others. Still, if it does happen I hope you aren't stuck with a drone wife. That would be incredibly odd I think.
