hontobakabaka | Fidning yourself in the 'Hot Springs Episode'

[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.]

Yeah, yeah, you got me to say it. As if there was any doubt.

[He can feel himself blushing, but he laughs it off]

I need to get you twice now, or we won't be even!

Are you really sure you want to take that challenge? There's nothing wrong with admitting you've been beaten.

Hey, you're ahead of me, that's all! I'm not beaten yet! You've got a long way to go before I call it quits.

Cause I could just wear the ears and tail.

Like I'd have any problems staring at your tail without the rest of the suit.

I see. Really though its just cute. I asked someone to make a different one here for you but... I guess I could cancel that project.

A matching cat tail? So am I the tom to your kitty?

Oh, no it wasn't for you to wear. Just its hard to get silk here.

Oh, so a back-up! Having more than one can't hurt. It's not like I'll get tired of staring.

Hrm... Well, I guess you could just stare... But that seems like a waste.

And here I thought I'd have to wait until we got to the onsen to be an obvious perv...

Well, don't scare the kids... Well, it may just encourage one of them.

Hey, anything can happen in Mayfield, right? If I can find a girl who can stand me, maybe Teddie can too.

Really? He said all the ladies loved Teddie. I just was all ready taken.

He says a lot of things. Most of them should be ignored.

I will keep that in mind. Still if not for the terrible puns it would almost be cute.

Thank god for that. If you left me for a bear, I'm not sure I could take it.

He's not really my type if it helps. I'm not looking to be in a harem.

That saves me from having that conversation with you. It's a little disappointing, but dodging the awkward is worth it.

Oh, were you looking to start one too?

[He gives her a grin]

Nah, you're more than enough for me. But there was this girl in the park a few weeks ago flirting with me. Talking about Teddie just made me think of it.

Oh? Was she pretty?

[She peers a bit curiously at him]

[He shrugs]

She was alright, I guess? I'd call her cute.

Well, all right.

[She nods a bit]

How about this deal, if you want to start a harem like Teddy, expect to be made fun of and perhaps I'll do the same.
