[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.]

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.]

[Ruri is still rather beat up after her brush with the fender and still feeling a bit odd from the healing magic.  She just looks pale and is moving slowly, but she still isn't doing a lot of it other than a few simple chores]

Action - Cosplay Cafe

[Still, she is working, see that girl in the maid outfit selling tea?  She'll gladly take your order and probably chat a bit, but she looks rather tired]

Action - 2242 Stevens Road

[Coming home from work she spots a box on the front lawn with her name on it.  She'll take it to the porch, set it down and open it.  These have all had computer components in them in the past, but, this one has something in it that causes her to quietly close the box and start crying.]

"It seems several of you are new and awakening here.  I'd like to welcome you to Mayfield, but I can't.  Its a terrible place.  One part prison, one part psychological experiment.  If you need help...  I'm Ruri, feel free to ask.  I honestly could use some sort of distraction right now and while the best explanation of what is going on is held by Mr. Rose at the library, I can fill in some gaps."

Action - The streets of Mayfield

[If you're from Japan, you know the cheery tune of the street vendor's ramen flute.  Playing a delightful little tune to announce fresh ramen.  Well, that instrument is playing the tune, but its got the tempo of a funeral dirge as a little girl in what looks to be a Ramen cart attendant uniform with a frilly apron walks by playing it.  A very blank expression on her face.]
