Ucchan's
"Welcome to Ucchan's."
This is Japan's best spot for Okonomiyaki, and you won't even have to cook it
yourself. This little restaurant is clean and decorated in modern style.
Dispersed on the walls are a series of vertical slips describing specials and
in the four corners there are wooden plaques with spirit wards. You can sit on
one of the stools surrounding the counter (which happens to double as the
grill, watch out, it's hot...) or at one of the narrow tables arranged on the
right-hand wall. It's a place where students often hang out, so the atmosphere
is usually friendly and very informal.
(OOC On Chibi, the important globals are listed on +bbread. Use them! ^_^)
[Exits : (U)pstairs, (B)ackroom, and (O)ut ]
[Players : Ukyou, Tora(Pup), and Ushio ]
[Things : Sign: [No weapons], Swordrack[Unlocked], Okonomiyaki menu, and The
Oath of the Ranma cast ]
>Rei steps in, a bit more worn-out then usual as he takes a seat.
>Ukyou starts, "Look, if a DEMON would just walk in the door..." (hand towards
Rei)
>Rei sweatdrops. "..."
>Ushio says, "I could probably find some other way to scare him off, but I can't
tell you what to do."
>Ushio says, "And that's not a demon."
>Ukyou didn't look door-wise though, it just fit in the conversation, she
continues, "What would.... huh?" and looks at Rei, sweatdrops, "..."
>Rei says, "I would hope not." O_o
>Ukyou facepalms, "Nevermind sugar..." x.x; she mention to Rei... then a piku,
"Hey." (now to Ushio) "Didn't you say earlier it'd be easy to be rid of Shin
if he bugged me? How?"
>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "..."
>Ushio says, "It would be easy."
>Ukyou goes SD, "SPIT IT OUT!"
>Rei leans away from Ukyou
>Ushio says, "I'd tell him to stop."
>Ukyou facefaults
>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "An... interesting tactic."
>Ukyou says, "Yeah..." -.-; "Why don't I ask him out to make'im run away in
terror while I'm at it."
>Ushio says, "He'll listen."
>Rei restrains a chuckle
>Ushio says, "Hey, you asked for help."
>Ukyou -.- and turns to Rei, "big help he is (thumbs at ushio) So, want
anything, and more importantly, got money for it?"
>Rei sweatdrops. "Don't I always pay?" o_o
>Ukyou says, "..." . o O ( Did he ever? )
>Rei says, "Anyway... just a beef and noodle 'yaki."
>Rei ventures to ask, "... And why are you worried about demons?"
>Ukyou cooks, and cheerfully comments, "Oh, there's one that's been attacking a
friend lately. No biggie." n.n
>Rei sweatdrops. "No biggie?"
>Ukyou says, "I'll figure something out." she wavies a spatula. -.- "An'
something evil even."
>Rei sweatdrops again. Getting to be a habit. "Ano..."
>Ukyou says, "Here's your food..." (serves)
>Ushio says, "You're the one who trusted him in the first place, even though I
warned you." . o O (What is it with girls who work in resturants? Are they just
naturally unable to say "no" to a monster?)
>Rei takes the food. "So... this's like a demon demon? Not just a monster?"
>Ukyou o.- "Look sugar, playin' it safe is a safe way to get nothing done."
>Ukyou . o O ( 'sides, he just gave me that chapstick, it's not like we've dealt
with my soul or anything... )
>Rei digs into his 'yaki. "If it's *scarf* just like a monster *chew* I can take
care of *chomp* it for ya."
>Kodachi walks in from outside.
>Rin walks in from outside.
>Death heads for the grill.. "Coffee, please, Ukyou.."
>Rei is eating a 'yaki
>Ukyou shakes her head (very belatedly, gomen) "It's a demon, and I'd rather
have a better plan than bashin it's head in..."
>Ukyou was talking to rei.
>Rei frowns. "Well, that's no fun..."
>Rin waves.
>Ukyou O.o; at Kodachi, "Err... Long days?"
>Death says, "Long?.. well, I don't sleep much, but I don't really feel
physically tired.."
>Rin says, "konbanwa minna."
>Ukyou v n.n; at rin, "Hiya sister... Oy, did you miss Halloween or spend it
away in town?"
>Rin asks, "Halloween? When was that?"
>Ukyou looks oddly at Rin, "Last weekend?"
>Ushio waves to Rin.
>Rin says, "Shimatta. I missed it."
>Rin waves to Ushio.
>Rei keeps eating, apparently out of ideas to toss in
>Rin asks, "Was there a big party?"
>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "You could say that."
>Ukyou mutters a bit to herself, arms crossing... And a piku, o.o "Hmm? Oh yeah,
neat costumes too, 'Death' was overdone though."
>Ushio says, "I can think of another costume that was overdone."
>Rin slumps down in a chair. "Sou ka... I didn't have a costume to wear though."
>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "What's with this costume thing, anyway?"
>Ukyou nods to Ushio, "Princesses..." and o.o at Rin, "Oh, what wouldya've worn
if you had?"
>Ushio says, "I would have GLADLY given you my costume Rin. Trust me, its
COMPLETELY useless, and really ugly to boot."
>Rin asks, "What costume was that?"
>Rin says to Ukyou. "I don't know... I can't think of a good costume. What did
you wear?"
>Ushio just frowns and looks grumpy.
>Ukyou O.o at Ushio a bit, "..." then n.n at Rin, "Guess."
>Rin says to Ukyou. "A princess?"
>Ukyou O.o; "No way, I look horrible in a dress... hmm, want a hint?"
>Rin nods. "Hai. I don't think I can guess..."
>Ukyou says, "Well, you sorta inspired me." she smiles wryly, "Two more tries."
>Death drums her fingers..
>Rin asks, "I inspired you? A brave swordsman. One of the three musketeers?"
>Ukyou says, "..."
>Rin blinks. "Did I get it?"
>Rei says, through a mouthful of 'yaki, "Don't keep *munch* 'er hanging."
>Ukyou gets a little nervous at Death's little motion, and gets the whole coffee
machine closer to her... (oh yeah, a cup too)
>Ukyou shakes her head at Rin, n.n; "Not quite... Try something... red."
>Death nods, satisfied, and sweetens her cup of coffee.
>Rin asks, "Red?" She ponders for a minute. "Red?"
>Rei says, "A chile pepper?"
>Ukyou facefaults.
>Rin asks, "You went as a pepper?"
>Ukyou exclaims, "Did NOT!"
>Rin asks, "A tomato?"
>Ukyou shakes her head. o_o;
>Rin asks, "... maybe an apple?"
>Katsuo walks in from outside.
>Rin notices Katsuo and tries to look inconspicuous.
>Katsuo walks in quietly, not quite resembling himself. ^_^;
>Death says, "I suppose everyone has abandoned the costuming notion for another
year. Pity. I guess I'll not blend in anymore."
>Ukyou facepalms, "uhhh, I didn't come in as food!"
>Rei shrugs, and resumes eating, at least for a minute before Katsuo walks in
>Rin says, "Red, but not a food..."
>Ukyou says, "An Oni! Red suit, horns and pitchfork an' all."
>Katsuo looks around curiously, trying to spot someone, then sighs . o O ( ...
Kuonji-san isn't here... I have to get that card away from him... )
>Rei rubs the back of his neck. "Only demons I've seen weren't red..."
>Rin exclaims, "Oh! A devil! That's a good costume!"
>Katsuo looks up at all the supernatural talk. O.o;
>Rin adds in a lower voice. "you're lucky all the demons around didn't think you
were one of them..."
>Ushio stands up.
>Ukyou biihs at Rei, n,n "Well, y'haven't seen me in that getup."
>Ushio looks to Ukyou and points at Katsuo. "Is this him?"
>Ukyou looks over at Katsuo, arches a brow, "Well no, y'seen Shin, he doesn't
have silver hair."
>Ukyou is talking to Ushio though.
>Rin says, "I'll bet you were even more scary than..." She starts to indicate
Rei but stops.
>Katsuo glances over at Ukyou, catching a bit of the conversation . o O ( How
does she know about 'Shin'? o.o )
>Death gets up, sipping her coffee as she walks toward Ukyou and Rin.
>Rin says, "... than some of the demons around here."
>Death says, "Such as?'"
>Ushio says, "I thought that the same demon who you were dealing with was the
one who was bothering your friend."
>Rei sweatdrops at Rin. He knew what she was thinking >.<
>Ukyou x.x "Che! I wasn't *dealing* with him! Well... not *quite* o.o; But
still..."
>Death asks, "Ukyou, have you seen Ranma-sama?"
>Ukyou blinks, finally an usual question, but maaaaybe from the wrong person,
o.o;; at Kodachi, "It's not... his time, is it?"
>Death says, "Oh NO, of course not! If it were, I'd know where he is."
>Death roll sher eyes.
>Katsuo glances around again, then walks up to the counter, speaking to no one
in particular. "... ah... pardon me...?"
>Ushio asks, "So a DIFFERENT demon is attacking your friend, whose name you
won't tell?"
>Ukyou shakes her head at Death, shrugging, -_-; and GLADLY steps away from
>Kodachi to move behind the counter, now closer to the silver-haired Katsuo,
"Sorry t'keep you waiting, what'll it be?"
>Rin blinks.
>Katsuo smiles, sheepishly. He seems to enjoy the fact that he's no longer
running from women in a panic, though they still make him nervous and more then
a bit uneasy. "Ah... well... I was wondering if you would know where
Kuonji-san is. I need to speak to him." ^_^;
>Death hmphs, and sits at a table alone. -.-
>Rin asks, "Who are demons attacking?"
>Rin . o O ( She must be from Egypt... )
>Nah, she's just a Goth. c.c Or into Kiss. *_*
>Ukyou droops somewhat at Katsuo's comments -_-; . o O ( Great, an old pal from
that boys school... )
>Ukyou . o O ( I never thought one'd follow me *HERE* )
>Katsuo blinks at Ukyou's reaction, then quickly raises a hand, his voice
gaining an edge of desperation. "Please... it's important..."
>Ukyou says, "Leave a number... I'll... have him call you or something." 9.9;
>Rin asks, "Do you have a brother, Ukyouhan?"
>Katsuo sighs. He looks around, silently, then shakes his head. "... it's
alright... I'll stay..." . o O ( ... if I don't retrieve that card soon... I
hope it hasn't infected him further... )
>Rei hmms? "That your last name?"
>Ukyou O.o; o.O; left and right, then x_x; at Katsuo, "Okay okay, get up on
the roof, he'll be there shortly, and you other guys, NOT A WORD!"
>Death asks, "About what?"
>Rei sweatdrops. "...?"
>Rin asks, "Yeah.. about what?"
>Ukyou asks, "Ohy..." and a wide-eyed look at Katsuo, "What's you name anyways?"
>Death asks, "The fact you're going to the roof with a demon shouldn't concern
me, should it?"
>Ukyou flashes a facefault at Death's comment, "..."
>Katsuo blinkblinks in surprise, nodding... then answers Ukyou, calmly.
"Katsuo... just Katsuo."
>Ukyou O.O "It's YOU!"
>Katsuo takes a step back, startled. "Wh-what?" 0.o;
>Rei blinks again, looking at Katsuo . o O ( ... Gee, Ukyou's awfully slow
tonight. )
>Rin blinks!
>Rin . o O ( It's only that demon... )
>Katsuo whispers, "You do know I look NOTHING like the demon Kats, right? c.c
Well, just a wee bit. ^_^;" to you.
>Ukyou says, "Why you LITTLE!..." and pauses . o O ( Why'd he just admit it
anyway? Oh nevermind ) and she promptly puts the best plan she heard about in
motion... Ushio's advice, "WhatEVER you're doing, STOP IT!" emphatically told
to Katsuo... Oh well, we never said it was _good_ advice.
>Rin blinks.
>Rei blinks, utterly lost.
>Rin asks Katsuo. "What are you doing?"
>Death puts her coffee down, her eyes on Katsuo and Ukyou..
>Katsuo winces, taking a step back. "I... I'm sorry... I was just trying to
help..." He takes another step back, suddenly feeling dizzy as his fear begins
to ebb back into his mind.
>Ukyou says, "Attacking Skuld-chan... That's what." she mutters x.x
>Rin asks, "He attacked Skuldhan?"
>Ushio says, "Katsuo. Don't do it again."
>Death says, "He has attacked Skuld's sister, and myself as well.."
>Rin narrows her eyes at Katsuo. "What do you expect from a demon."
>Death's eyes bore into Katsuo with an expression of distaste.
>Tora hops off of Ushio's shoulders and floats down to level with Katsuo. "Out!"
>Rei looks at Katsuo. "DID you actually do that?"
>Katsuo reaches up a hand, holding his head as he sways slightly under the
pressure . o O ( ... Belldandy... you were wrong... I c-can't... it could never
happen... ) He stumbles slightly, then catches himself, his facial markings
beginning to shift back to crimson.
>Rei . o O ( He okay? O_o )
>Death watches Katsuo.
>Katsuo's features suddenly shift, his skin growing darker as the silver leaves
his hair, washed over by a deep lavender. He straightens up, revealing his
glimmering red eyes as his entire demeanor shifts to the other half ot the
scale.
>Rin steps away from Katsuo.
>Rei . o O ( That can't be good. )
>Death says, "Mmmm... I think I see."
>Tora exclaims, "I see. Still. OUT!"
>Katsuo looks up at the air before him, his ruby irises glinting... then
whispers a phrase beneath his breath, angrily.
>Ushio stumbles as the Kemono no Yaari vibrates.
>Rei blinks. "... Um... Katsuo...?"
>Tora BRRRR's..."Oi! I can't see!"
>Ushio swings the Kemono no Yaari up and around, slicing just past Tora. As he
does so, he changes...
>Rei . o O ( Er... This probably isn't the place... gotta get 'em outside O_O )
>Ukyou sees where this is getting, one comment from the owner: "OOOOUT!" as soon
as Ushio puts a hand on his weapon.
>Katsuo moves back, seeming to step further then a human should, leaving behind
an aftershadow. He seems... different then before, more confident maybe, more
malicious. At Ukyou's shout, he gives her a glance, then reaches up a hand,
pointing two fingers at her as he whispers another phrase.
>Ushio doesn't make a move for Katsuo, he just stands there, hair floating in an
nonexistent breeze. "Whatever game you're playing, Demon, stop it NOW."
>Tora exclaims, "Oi! I still can't see, brat!"
>Rei jumps in front of Ukyou. You DON'T attack the cook!
>Fine. u.u I'll kiss 'em then, happy? o.o
>Katsuo turns back to Ushio, his facial markings lit with a magical aura. He
speaks a single, simple word, with a harshness and anger of one who's hopes
were taken away. "No."
>Ushio readies the Kemono no Yaari. "Last chance, Demon."
>Ukyou goes wide-eyed despite Rei getting between the two, and gets that odd
pupilless 'Takahashi-weirdness' look to her. @.@ "..."
>Rin says, "Ukyouhan! Are you ok?? o.o"
>Rei puts his hands on his daggers... wait, weren't you supposed to put those in
the swordrack?... and grits his teeth
>Death stands.. "You.... Katsuo. Stop it."
>Ukyou looks oddly in thin air, her jaw trembling a bit, her hands just hang at
her sides.
>Rin glances around, then rushes over to Ukyou to see if she can help her.
>Katsuo glances at Death, seeming to ignore Ushio. "... why should I? It seems
you don't want me to..." He smiles, showing off his sharp canines.
>Ushio stabs the Kemono no Yaari directly forward, towards Katsuo's midsection.
>Rei winces . o O ( This' gonna get ugly... ) He looks over his shoulder at
Ukyou, snapping, "PLEASE get out of here"
>Death approaches Katsuo. "I'll buy you a cappucino. Coffee's more enjoyable
than dodging blades, I think you'll agree."
>Ukyou stumbles behind her counter, coming down to her knees but helped by
Rin... She... starts to cry?
>Ukyou still has that odd pupilless look, she doesn't seem very aware of what's
going on...
>Tora blinks as his vision returns.
>Katsuo's seems to be impaled by the spear, the weapon easily sliding through
his body. Yet, moments later, his collapses into shreds of shadow as Katsuo
comes back into view, several paces to the side of his former self. "... my
job is more important... there is nothing more to my life."
>Death says, "Come now, dear fellow," She's fairly gloating here.. "You've been
offered a date with a Kunou. I should think you'd be prepared to set aside all
this nonsense for something like that."
>Rin kneels down next to Ukyou, trying to find some way to help her.
>Rei stands protectively in front of Ukyou and Rin...
>Katsuo's voice comes out harshly, almost a scoff. "... one does not 'date'
with death."
>Death says, "Not if one is fearful.."
>Tora exclaims, "Oi! You! The stupid baby-demon! I said get OUT!"
>Ushio swings the Kemono no Yaari in an arc, slicing towards Katsuo's chest.
"OUT!"
>Ukyou may not see what's going on... But whatever she does see she certainly
doesn't like... She brings her fists to her mouth, two tears aside her wide
eyes... And finally she lets out a sharp pained shriek, closing her eyes shut
with her fists in front...
>Rei decides to do the next best thing... if one cannot remove the threat, one
removes the potential victims. He vaults over the counter, landing by Ukyou,
and reaching out for her.
>Death clenches her jaw, her gaze upon Katsuo growing severe. "I.. am
restraining my instincts and giving you a chance to be reasonable."
>Rin shakes Ukyou, "Oi! Oi! Ukyouhan... snap out of it!"
>Katsuo turns away from Death, no longer paying attention to her, nor Tora, as
he turns to gaze at Ukyou's plight, his features compassionless. "..." . o O (
Chaos is the only way. )
>Tora says, "OI! Are you ignoring me!", as the marking on his forehead begins to
spark.
>Rin (OOC) says, "Just let the rest of us know if we can see Tora. o.o"
>Ukyou blinks... and her eyes return to normal, just as she gets probably
'helped' away by Rin and Rei.
>Ushio (OOC) says, "It looks like the air is sparking...."
>Death holds her hand out, and her gymnastic ribbon, dull black and cold as
nothingness, appears in her hand. "Demon. Listen to me."
>Rei has great timing, I see 9.9 He carefully picks up Ukyou, and dashes the
hell out of here.
>Katsuo's facial markins flicker for a moment. To those who can detect auras,
Katsuo's bad-luck aura just flared...
>Rin follows with Rei to make sue Ukyou is ok. o.o
>( A pool of sleek black substance begins to seep in from under the door
frame... )
>Ukyou has decided to follow you.
>Rin has decided to follow you.
>Tora says, "OUT!" and lets loose the lightning, three bolts arcing out from his
forehead towards Katsuo.

Ucchan's second story
This is Ucchan's private abode, located just above the restaurant. You are in a
short hallway with few doors and a ladder on the far wall, leading to a
trapdoor towards the roof. A picture of a broad man with a stern gaze, a
straight black beard and no mustache decorates a wall. One of the doors has a
spatula-shaped piece of wood reading 'Ukyou' on it.
[Exits : (U)kyou's room, (B)athroom, (S)tudy, (C)limb the ladder [Private],
and (D)ownstairs ]
[Things : None ]
>Rei enters with Ukyou and Rin following behind.
>c
Ucchan's roof(#1490RJL)
This is Ukyou's little getaway. The restaurant is flanked by two taller
buildings, so half the scenery is brick, but to the front and to the back, the
view of Tokyo at sunset or dawn is superb, bright reds and yellows melding
together. Two folding chairs are left here for use, some laundry flapping in
the breeze. The city sounds seem a bit farther away, letting a nice atmosphere
permeate the spot.
[Exits : (D)own the ladder ]
[Sleepers: Rowan ]
[Things : None ]
>Rei enters with Ukyou and Rin following behind.
>Rei looks back and forth . o O ( Is this far enough? ) He looks down at
Ukyou, asking worriedly, "Are you okay?"
>Ukyou sobs... And grabs on to Rei's arm, pulling to get closer, hide her tears,
or at least not be so alone.
>Rin ICly will stay around to make sure Ukyou is ok. I am thinking if it is fair
that the fight will not last too much longer.
>Rin OOCly will go back home to not be sleeping on Ukyouhan's roof. n.n
>Rin (OOC) says, "Oyasumi again."
>Rin teleports out of the room.
>Rin has left.
>Rei blinks, not expecting that kind of reaction. He holds Ukyou gently, saying
softly, "Don't worry, they won't get to you..." . o O ( And I'll have to
talk to them later... )
>Ukyou hangs on tightly to Rei, *sob*
>Ukyou asks, "That... That didn't hap..happen... did it?"
>Rei doesn't let go of Ukyou... it just seems like the right thing to do now.
"... Those idiots down in the restaraunt...?" He stays silent a moment. "No,
they're all gone now."
>Ukyou says, "Not them... R... Ranma..." ;.;
>Rei blinks . o O ( That weird kid...? ) "Ranma's okay..."
>Ukyou says, "That's not what... He was... He..." and she buries her face again
in Rei's fur, eyes clenched, "..."
>Rei is majorly confused... but he can't just say that. "He was...?"
>Ukyou whimpers between sobs, "heeeere..."
>Rei gives up all hope of comprehesion now, and just holds Ukyou while she
cries. "..."
>Ukyou . o O ( He br... He broke up with meee, he picked *Kodachi* of all
people! ;.; )
>Rei rubs Ukyou on the back . o O ( I really wish someone would tell me
what's going on when things like this happen... poor girl's devastated... )
>Kodachi teleports into the room.
>Rei appears to be holding a sobbing Ukyou
>Ukyou is... *hugging* Rei of all people, about out of tears by now, she's in
shock?
>Death appears in a chill breeze and a scattering of black rosepetals.
>Death walks over and kneels by Ukyou. "Is she all right?"
>Rei replies. "... Getting better, I hope."
>Death nods.
>Ukyou hears Kodachi's voice, she turns a bit to her... Well, her eyes are back
to normal, but she suddenly SCOWLS at Kodachi, one stare of utmost HATRED.
>Death blinks..
>Tora teleports into the room.
>Rei doesn't let go of Ukyou, but the sudden change of expression, or posture...
it's more then a little disturbing. "...!"
>Ushio teleports into the room.
>Death looks at Ukyou with confusion and a bit of defensiveness.. "What did I
do?"
>Tora floats up onto the roof, bearing Ushio.
>Ukyou oocly has a flashback of Ranma going 'NOW what'd I do?'
>Ushio asks, "Chef-san? What deal is Katsuo talking about?"
>Rei doesn't let go of Ukyou... she doesn't seem quite stable enough yet.
>Ukyou puts a hand on her spatula, just GLARING at Kodachi with such spite...
Her grip shake but Rei holds her steady.
>Rei says, to nobody in particular, "... Maybe it might be better now for you to
leave, at least for a while."
>Death knits her brow.. "I'm on your side in this one.. don't go glaring at me."
>Death stands.. "Leave?.. Me?"
>Tora visible to everyone, says "This is important, girl. That one won't give up
his *business* so easily. What did you promise him?"
>Rei sees the Tiger-demon, but doesn't seemed shocked. Heck, some of his friends
are weirder.
>Ukyou lets go of her spatula, and just puts her fists on her ears, eyes
clenched, still kneeling as she was sobbing earlier, "Leave... me... ALONE..."
and so wishing to just cut off the entire world right now, "Alone!"
>Rei doesn't let go of Ukyou... it's obvious she'd snap without someone holding
her back, at this point. "..."
>Tora crouches beside Ukyou. "Much more than you think is in danger, girl. You
really should be careful in what promises you make to demons."
>Death steps back.. and looks at Ukyou with an unreadable expression.
>Ukyou is not listening, is not looking, she's just in shock and facing the
worst, so she's closing shut, "...alone..." her voice is hardly more than a
whisper now...
>Rei says, a little more forcefully now, "... Please step out. She can talk
about this later."
>Ushio says, "Fine. Come on, Tora."
>Ukyou (OOC) Just for everyone's OOC info...
>Rei (OOC) is just a TAD overprotective. Watched his two best friends 'die' in
childhood, after all...
>Tora bears off Ushio off the roof. As he floats down, he can be heard to ask,
"Why are you humans so stupid sometimes?"
>Death pauses a moment more... then lowers her eyes, and passes into shadow,
leaving behind nothing but a chill breeze. (OOC: but before I tel out I wanna
see Ukyou's OOC info.. ^_^)
>Ukyou (OOC) That lil' thing Katsuo shot me... Well, it's really a simple spell
that _shows_ you a really bad nightmare happening... In this case, how about
Ranma basically telling Ukyou to take a hike and going off to marry _Kodachi_
of all people.
>Death (OOC) says, "Ohhh..."
>Rei (OOC) Horror of horrors!
>Ushio (OOC) had guessed as much...(At least that it was something about
Ranma....Unsure about death or choosing someone else.
>Ushio has left.
>Tora has left.
>Death extends her arm, and her gymnast ribbon fades into existence in her
outstretched hand. The ribbon is dull black, and something about it makes you
feel very uneasy. She spins it over her head, a spiral of midnight surrounding
her. In a flurry of chill wind and black rosepetals, she vanishes.
>Rei . o O ( ... Well, that should calm things down a bit. )
>Rei asks, "... Ukyou?"
>Ukyou has calmed down by now, just looking pale, and cold...
>Rei doesn't let go of Ukyou. "Hey... cheer up a little, okay? I'll even promise
to pay for my food from now on, really..."
>Ukyou says, "..."
>Rei grins. It's forced, but hopefully, reassuring.
>Ukyou isn't holding on for dear life anymore... Very much subdued now, she
doesn't even look up at Rei's grin, think Ayanami Rei.
>Rei probably won't be going anywhere for a while, then. Luckily, he's a patient
tiger.
>Rei asks, "Ukyou?"
>Ukyou says, "..."
>Ukyou looks up slowly, not saying a word.
>Rei grins meekly, saying, "Hey, I'm sure whatever that Ranma guy did, he didn't
mean it . o O ( ...? ) Even better, those idiots downstairs have left. I
can close up for you, or something, if you'd like..."
>Ukyou looks down, "Closing..."
>Rei pauses, but eventually responds, "Yeah, it's getting kinda late."
>Ukyou nods, "Close... Yeah... I'll just... get some sleep..." -.-
>Rei still holds Ukyou. "Sure you're okay? I don't like seeing people sad..."
>Ukyou looks down, still pale, "...I... guess so..."
>Rei nods, picking Ukyou up . o O ( Reminds me too much of... )
>Ukyou gets picked up, she does blink at that... But relaxes soon after, a bit
too shell-shocked to really mind.

>Rei . o O ( This has been an unusual evening -.- )
>Rei asks, "Want to do it yourself, or should I?"
