  1. [18:20] IcePickLobotomy Time: July 25, 1988. 12:23pm. Location: Gibraltar Heights High-school.
  2. [18:21] IcePickLobotomy The bell rings, signaling the class that it's time for lunch. Students excitedly chatter as they grab their bags and half walk, half stampede out into the hallways.
  3. [18:22] IcePickLobotomy RobinE: "Ms. Evans? A moment please?" Mr. Denisovich waves you down, his mustache twitching as he speaks.
  4. [18:23] RobinE gets startled at her name being called, "huh? oh, sure." she makes her way to him.
  5. [18:24] IcePickLobotomy He smiles and holds up your final project, a short-story you've been working on throughout the school year. "I wanted to let you know I was very impressed with your final project Robin. You're a talented writer."
  6. [18:24] RobinE "Oh, thanks. So I got an A?"
  7. [18:26] IcePickLobotomy He nods. "You did, and I think if you take the time and effort to cultivate your talent you could make a living as a writer too."
  8. [18:27] RobinE "Huh, always seemed more like a hobby to me."
  9. [18:27] -->| Kasra (chatzilla@SystemNet-87D9EA92.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #TSWshenanigans
  10. [18:32] IcePickLobotomy "And it's a wonderful hobby as well. But I would urge you to nurture it. The school has a English magazine that you can submit short stories and essays to, there's also a creative writing club as well. You could also try your hand at some of the local magazines, though they are more stringent but also pay."
  11. [18:33] RobinE "oh, interesting. Can I be anonymous?"
  12. [18:34] IcePickLobotomy He chuckles 'There's a long history and tradition of pen names."
  13. [18:34] RobinE "I might, we'll see."
  14. [18:49] Arina catches her afterward, on the way to the cafeteria. "How'd it go?"
  15. [18:50] RobinE "Fine, I got an A."
  16. [18:51] Arina "Ah, nice."
  17. [18:54] IcePickLobotomy The intercome rings "Mr Lebowski, please report to the office." A moment later you see a student sprint down the hallway, a pair of teachers in tow. He dives out the first story window. . .
  18. [18:54] IcePickLobotomy Only to hear a thump and a crack. "FUcking fucker fuck my leg!"
  19. [18:55] IcePickLobotomy "Langauge Mr Lebowski!" One of them chastizes as they head outside and out of sight.
  20. [18:55] Arina winces. "... Hopefully that's a fairly short hospital stay."
  21. [18:57] IcePickLobotomy "Ah, he should be fine." Abigai sets her tray down across from you both "If he wasn't screaming then I'd be worried." She adds cheerful
  22. [18:57] IcePickLobotomy *cheerfully
  23. [18:58] RobinE "True."
  24. [18:59] Arina "I suppose it is his default setting."
  25. [18:59] IcePickLobotomy "So, you guys enjoy the schoolyear so far?"
  26. [19:00] RobinE "It's been fine."
  27. [19:01] Arina nods. "Some stuff is just review, but outside that, it's all been very interesting."
  28. [19:01] IcePickLobotomy "Cool cool, so, there's a thing going down at the beach afterschool. You two in?"
  29. [19:02] RobinE "What? oh I don't know," she rubs the back of her neck, "I might go home and write."
  30. [19:03] Arina "Oh, that sounds fun."
  31. [19:04] IcePickLobotomy "Come on Robin, it'll be fun I promise."
  32. [19:04] RobinE shakes her head "alright, sure."
  33. [19:05] Arina smiles. "It'll be fun to have you for a change."
  34.  
  35. [18:44] IcePickLobotomy Time: July 25h, 1988 2:57pm. Location: Gibraltar Heights High-school.
  36. [18:44] IcePickLobotomy "Hey, John!" A few of your classmates, a mix of Americans, British and a few Russians wave you over shortly before the last bell
  37. [18:45] JohnH "Hello"
  38. [18:45] JohnH gives a wave
  39. [18:46] IcePickLobotomy "Hey, we're going to hit the beach, you want in?" A blonde boy, Maxwell, asks. He's tanned and fairly muscular, and if you recall correctly on the baseball team.
  40. [18:50] JohnH "Heck yeah!" John grins
  41. [18:50] JohnH "You need me to bring anything?"
  42. [18:51] IcePickLobotomy "Nah, we're gonna stop by the Tower for our stuff. If you want to bring anyone with feel free though."
  43. [18:54] JohnH "Sounds good. Meet you guys there!"
  44. [18:58] IcePickLobotomy A hour later. . . .
  45. [18:59] IcePickLobotomy JohnH: The beach isn't too crowded yet, but there's already a fair number of students out enjoying the sun and waves. A boom-box sits on a nearby table playing the top-10 hits. The sun is blisteringly hot and the breeze coming off the water is cool
  46. [19:00] IcePickLobotomy [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltrMfT4Qz5Y ]
  47. [19:06] IcePickLobotomy Arina, RobinE Abigail is true to her word and makes sure both of you have swim-wear and other beach needs before taking the tram down to the beach. John is there, mixed in with a group of other boys as they set up a volleyball net.
  48. [19:07] Arina chuckles, waving to John. "Was the same one after all."
  49. [19:08] JohnH smiles "I guess so."
  50. [19:11] RobinE is standing in the sun feeling the sand between her toes.
  51. [19:12] IcePickLobotomy "Ah, now don't that feel good Robin? Fresh sea air and the sun?" Abigail asks as she pulls off her shirt and skirt, revealing a one piece swim suit.
  52. [19:14] RobinE "The sun is nice," she turns her face up to the sun and bathes in the warm light.
  53. [19:15] IcePickLobotomy "Sun-screen?" She offers Robin "My pale Irish skin'll burn if I don't." She adds
  54. [19:15] RobinE "Sure."
  55. [19:15] Arina nods, pulling off her own over-bikini clothing. "Abigail, can you give me a hand when you're done, then I'll handle Robin?"
  56. [19:15] JohnH shoots a quick glance over at Abigail in her swimsuit
  57. [19:16] IcePickLobotomy she passes you the bottle, completely oblivious to John's perverse lust.
  58. [19:17] JohnH 's eyes wander as the girls reveal their swim garb
  59. [19:18] Arina chuckles. "Looks like that swimsuit's working out well for you."
  60. [19:18] JohnH looks away, blushing
  61. [19:21] IcePickLobotomy You see Hikari dragging Mary in-tow to the beach. "Hey guys!"
  62. [19:21] Arina waves. "Hey, glad you made it!"
  63. [19:22] RobinE takes her over-swimsuit clothing off quickly, attempting to not draw attention to herself.
  64. [19:28] IcePickLobotomy "Yeap! Even if I did have to drag Mary." She pouts "Why are you so /pokey/ Mary?"
  65. [19:29] RobinE takes out her skull hairpin and puts it in her clothes bundle.
  66. [19:30] Mary is wearing a one piece that shows of her back and which goes down into a miniskirt styled enensmble that hides parts of her upper thights
  67. [19:30] Mary "Because you pulled me into this backless style"
  68. [19:31] Mary only blushes slightly.
  69. [19:31] Arina "It suits you, really."
  70. [19:32] Arina glances at the hairpin. "Speaking of suiting you, that's got a pretty nice style to it, where did you get it?"
  71. [19:33] IcePickLobotomy "We picked it up this little shop in the 23rd floor. Mary got the /prettiest/ skirt too!"
  72. [19:33] Mary "Well you nearly had me with the two parter , but the buttom was a bit to short for me..
  73. [19:34] RobinE "It was a gift."
  74. [19:34] Mary (bottom)
  75. [19:34] Mary "Well the dress is also nice , luckily it did not get damaged in the fight."
  76. [19:34] Arina nods. "It was a well-chosen one."
  77. [19:36] RobinE "My little brother thought so," she looks off into the distance, drifting into a memory.
  78. [19:37] Arina nods. "... That's past-tense. I apologize if you didn't want to think about it."
  79. [19:39] RobinE jerks out of the memory, "its fine."
  80. [19:41] Arina nods. "... Good."
  81. [19:42] Mary "And hikari, no mention of the /other stuff/
  82. [19:43] IcePickLobotomy "Oh yeah." She grins "Maybe we should take Arina down there?" Her grin widens somehow, now resebling something between a cat and a shark "And John can carry out bags!"
  83. [19:44] Mary "Ohh that is a good idea"
  84. [19:45] JohnH "I'll carry bags, but I better get something out of it. I'm not here to work."
  85. [19:46] RobinE goes to find a nice spot before laying out a towel and sitting down.
  86. [19:47] Arina raises an eyebrow. "Nice shop, is it? Anything for men? John does have a point."
  87. [19:47] IcePickLobotomy "Oh yeah it does, it's got a bit of everything really."
  88. [19:49] Arina "Well, that sounds like fun, but please don't overburden him."
  89. [19:49] Arina "I mean, go ahead and burden him a little, he'd probably enjoy the workout, but within reason."
  90. [19:51] Mary "Well, There is the tiger print..."
  91. [19:51] IcePickLobotomy "Oh, be careful there John," Abigail says "Sounds like these girl's 'ave got plans for you."
  92. [19:52] JohnH "I was hoping to lay on the beach and get tan..." John pauses and looks at his skin "...er"
  93. [19:52] Arina "Well yeah, we're not leaving to go shopping after we just 0x1dgot0x1d here. We have at least a little swimming to get in, right?"
  94. [19:53] IcePickLobotomy "I didn't mean /today/ . ." Hikari mumbles. Abigial ruffles her hair. "Hey! You're hand's in bitting distance you know?"
  95. [19:53] IcePickLobotomy "Only cuz you're a wee short girl." The older (and taller) girl teases back
  96. [20:00] RobinE gathers her hair together, and puts it up into a ponytail.
  97. [20:08] Mary smirks and stretches as she sees the interplay and then enjoys the sun
  98. [20:09] IcePickLobotomy Some pulls up in a worn volkswagen bus and emerges with almost a dozen surf-board looking things, though no larger than a persons torso. "Yo dudes, brought the body-boards!" You can smell a faint lingering aroma of pot as he moves into the crownd.
  99. [20:17] |<-- Kasra has left irc.systemnet.info (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.92 [Firefox 47.0.1/20160623154057])
  100. [20:17] JohnH scowls a bit as he walks by
  101. [20:20] RobinE glances over to the body-board guy, and decides to pay him no mind.
  102. [20:21] Arina hums. "Right, then, who wants to hit the water?"
  103. [20:21] IcePickLobotomy "So," Abigail lays down on a nearby towel "John, where were you from again?"
  104. [20:25] JohnH "Eastern US. The Appalachian mountains"
  105. [20:26] IcePickLobotomy "Ah, how's it compare to here?"
  106. [20:29] RobinE responds to Arina, "I'm good," she says as she lays back on her arms.
  107. [20:31] Arina nods, waving slightly and heading out to the water. It's not often one finds water warm enough to swim in in Russia, so she's certainly going to take advantage of it.
  108. [20:33] IcePickLobotomy Arina: You're joined by Hikari and a few others.
  109. [20:37] IcePickLobotomy Arina: "So, I heard about what happened to Kasra," She says quietly "I'm sure he'll be fine though."
  110. [20:38] Arina sighs. "Sooner or later."
  111. [20:42] IcePickLobotomy "Right, let me know when he does? I've got a get well tea-set ready for him."
  112. [20:43] Arina "... You're going to run out of tea sets at that rate."
  113. [20:43] IcePickLobotomy She giggles "Yeah right, I doubt that. We've got like, 2 entire rooms just /filled/ with tea back at the apartment."
  114. [20:44] Mary dives up behind them clearly a bit unnsued to the wide ocean "Between the ninja gear you mean?
  115. [20:46] Arina "... Yeah, you're going to run out." She waves to Mary.
  116. [20:46] Mary waves back , seemingly not having quite her usual issues with body presentation today
  117. [20:47] IcePickLobotomy "I told you that's Kendo gear." She sticks her tounge out just in time to be swamped by a wave "Ewww ich. Nasty!"
  118. [20:48] Arina chuckles. "It's not that bad, really, though not for swallowing."
  119. [20:49] Mary "rgh not quite the pound behind the house taste
  120. [20:50] IcePickLobotomy "Yeah. . " She cuts across the water like a fish "Though it's nice to be on break finally."
  121. [20:52] Arina nods, swimming after her. "School's fun, but having a break every so often is nice."
  122. [20:53] IcePickLobotomy "Oh yeah, Arina, my mom scored a pair of tickets to your concert! I'm looking forward to that." She smiles "I think she /actually/ cut some throats for 'em too."
  123. [20:55] Mary "We know that your mother is a classy ninja so no bloodsplatter hit the rugs"
  124. [20:55] Arina giggles. "The path of a ninja is fraught with peril? Please enjoy it!"
  125. [20:55] IcePickLobotomy "Well of course not. And I intend to."
  126. [20:57] Arina "I'm experimenting a bit, and I wrote a couple of the songs this time, so tell me what you think after! Don't hold back, all your criticism!"
  127. [20:58] IcePickLobotomy "Ooooh. Though I don't know much about music I'll do my best!"
  128. [21:02] Arina "Hey, I need audience impressions too, it's not just for the critics and classrooms."
  129. [21:08] Mary "Well I will certainly do so even if I am not the best at it "
  130. [21:11] Arina nods. "Thanks. Want to make sure I get it right."
  131. [21:11] -->| Kasra (chatzilla@SystemNet-87D9EA92.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #TSWIC
  132. [21:14] IcePickLobotomy JohnH: "So how's it compare to out here then? It's a fair it warmer than Ireland, but I do miss it myself."
  133. [21:15] JohnH "It's nice, I guess. Pretty boring. Trees everywhere, but lots of places to go shooting. Football's pretty popular around my hometown, too."
  134. [21:16] IcePickLobotomy She nods "Not too many trees round these parts."
  135. [21:16] IcePickLobotomy Arina: She nods "I'll bring a note pad and everything."
  136. [21:16] JohnH "I can't say I miss it, though. They're get in the way and drop leaves everywhere."
  137. [21:17] IcePickLobotomy "Yes, but they're so pretty in the fall."
  138. [21:18] Arina chuckles. "Much appreciated, Hikari, thank you."
  139.  
  140. [21:32] IcePickLobotomy Kasra: You're released without much fanfare and find yourself at the door to the apartment around noon
  141. [21:38] Kasra puts his ear to the door.
  142. [21:45] IcePickLobotomy Kasra: You hear nothing through the solid oak with Super-Material armoring layered underneath it
  143. [21:45] Kasra "Yes, well, that was foolish..." His hand has been on the door knob for a while now.
  144. [21:46] Kasra Finally, the door opens and he steps in.
  145. [21:47] Kasra Arina: You hear nothing through the solid oak with Super-Material armoring layered underneath it
  146. [21:48] Arina looks up as he arrives. "Ah, I was starting to wonder if you'd been delayed."
  147. [21:48] Arina hands him a slice of cake. "Welcome back."
  148. [21:48] IcePickLobotomy Kasra: It's a simple vanilla pound cake with some glaze and strawberriers
  149. [21:49] JohnH also has a slice of cake "Here, you need the energy for our run tomorrow."
  150. [21:49] Kasra "Thank you. What's the occasion?"
  151. [21:50] RobinE "You're ok."
  152. [21:50] JohnH "You're back for PT."
  153. [21:50] IcePickLobotomy Kasra: Artyom gives you a falt look. "[Is he always this dense?]" He asks Arina in Russian
  154. [21:51] Kasra keeps his gaze on John and Robin for what seems like a long time.
  155. [21:52] Arina "[No. This is keener than usual.]"
  156. [21:52] Mary walks out of the door , and behind him, and then raises meagan who starts to pull at his ear. "Welcome back big stupid" she says warmly
  157. [21:52] Arina sweatdrops. "The occasion is you being alive and back home, Kasra."
  158. [21:52] IcePickLobotomy Artyom snorts and shakes his head. "It is good you are back young man. John missed you, as did I."
  159. [21:53] RobinE "You scared us in that last battle."
  160. [21:55] Kasra "Y-yes, I'm sure I did. I apologize. Thank you for the cake, I...thanks, I'm going to put my things in my room I think." The cake is placed on the counter.
  161. [21:56] RobinE takes some cake for herself.
  162. [21:57] Arina points at the floor. "At least one cake is mandatory. I'll drop them off if you don't want to carry them the whole time."
  163. [21:58] Kasra "I'll be right back for it, thank you." He hustles to his room.
  164. [22:00] Mary "If you do not come back, we will come in"
  165. [22:01] RobinE "Calm down," Robin takes a bit of cake, "He just got out of the hospital."
  166. [22:03] Arina nods. "He'll be back."
  167. [22:03] JohnH goes to his door and knocks
  168. [22:03] JohnH "Hey man, you alright?"
  169. [22:05] Kasra "What, yeah. Yeah, I feel good." He smiles. Just week from being out for so long.
  170. [22:07] JohnH "It's cool if you need to rest, we can let you be." John lowers his voice a bit and asks "You sure you're alright?"
  171. [22:07] Kasra "Okay, I believe there was some cake to be had, and I need to be briefed on what I missed. You're my man for this, right?" Kasra pats John on the shoulder as he moves back into the main room.
  172. [22:07] JohnH pats him back on the shoulder and nods
  173. [22:08] Kasra "Yes, I'm fine, again, just...comas aren't as restful as you'd think."
  174. [22:08] Arina nods as he returns, handing him his cake. "I'm sure you had all kinds of adventures in your sleep. Knights and swords and fair maidens."
  175. [22:12] Arina "Sit down? This isn't a standing party, you can rest."
  176. [22:12] Kasra chokes a small noise before muttering something quietly in Arina's direction.
  177. [22:12] Kasra "Thanks. So, what did I miss? Anything of note?"
  178. [22:13] RobinE "Not much."
  179. [22:13] Mary "Nothing really I would say "
  180. [22:13] Mary looks for a moment at robin before looking back at kasra as she stretches out her legs
  181. [22:15] Kasra "Robin?"
  182. [22:15] RobinE "hmm?"
  183. [22:15] Arina shrugs. "... Not all that much."
  184. [22:16] IcePickLobotomy The door swings open. "Hey guys, what's u- KASRA!" Hikari leaps into the air after Kasra only for a older woman to grab her by the collar of her shirt and yank her back onto the ground. "Hikari dear, he just got out of the hospital." She looks to be in her mid 30's, obviouslly japanese with long black hair tied into a ponytail behind her. She's wearing a long skirt and a loose blouse, with a...
  185. [22:16] IcePickLobotomy ...basket of tea under one arm.
  186. [22:16] Kasra remains in a reflexively defensive posture before abashedly dropping his arm.
  187. [22:17] Arina whistles. "... Your skills are well-honed, Ma'am."
  188. [22:19] Mary "Hey hikari" She smiles at her , Ma'am
  189. [22:19] Mary ""
  190. [22:19] Kasra "Hi, Hikari, uh...what brings you here?"
  191. [22:20] JohnH "Hey Hikari. Hows the nose?"
  192. [22:22] Kasra "Your nose?"
  193. [22:22] JohnH looks at Kasra "You missed some things while you were out. HIkari literally fell for me."
  194. [22:22] IcePickLobotomy "It's fine now. Oh, I fell and broke iot." Her mother shakes her head and hands the basket to Kasra "For you Mr. Nariman. My daughter has spoken well of all of you."
  195. [22:23] Kasra stands rigidly, taking the basket. "Thank you, ma'am." After that there is a quick double take between John and Hikari.
  196. [22:23] Arina "Ah, did Walker call you?"
  197. [22:24] Arina chuckles, turning to Kasra. "She tried to swoon into his arms. John didn't react in time."
  198. [22:24] Kasra "But not figuratively, right?" Kasra's eyes are boring into John. You can almost hear the 'what the f-' in his voice.
  199. [22:24] IcePickLobotomy "She did in fact. Suggested that we have Hikari come by with some tea, I thought I'd come with so my daughter did not return to the clinic again."
  200. [22:25] Arina "I don't think she was really 0x1dplanning0x1d on that."
  201. [22:26] Kasra "John...did you stop training while I was gone? To fail to catch someone..."
  202. [22:26] Mary tries to set JohnH's head aflame via her eyelasers "She had also warned him about falling into his arms and he had reacted to that warning."
  203. [22:26] IcePickLobotomy Her mother laughs.
  204. [22:26] JohnH "I uhh..." he pauses "Didn't think she would actually do it"
  205. [22:27] IcePickLobotomy "Ah, I shall leave you all to your party but before I do." She bows deeply at the waist "Thank you, all of you, for your efforts to defend this city. We all owe you our lives many times over."
  206. [22:29] RobinE "we do what we can."
  207. [22:29] Arina sweatdrops. "... I think the only one that realized she was actually going to do it was Hikari."
  208. [22:29] Arina curtsies. "... You're entirely welcome, Ma'am."
  209. [22:29] Kasra "Of course, ma'am."
  210. [22:30] JohnH stiffens a bit "Just doing our part"
  211. [22:30] IcePickLobotomy "Your humility does you credit. Should you ever need some tea please call upon our store."
  212. [22:32] Mary "Hey I saw it also, and I am thankfull again, for your interest in our wellbeing Ma'am"
  213. [22:33] IcePickLobotomy She nods before giving you all a small wave and leaving
  214. [22:33] Arina smiles, returning the wave, and looking to Hikari. "Cake? We've got a fair bit."
  215. [22:34] IcePickLobotomy "Always and forever a yes." She wastes no time finging a plate of cake "So, Kasra, can I give you a hug?"
  216. [22:34] IcePickLobotomy *finding
  217. [22:35] Kasra "I...of course."
  218. [22:35] Kasra "May I ask why?"
  219. [22:35] IcePickLobotomy She sets her cake down and gives you a warm hug. "Because, you were in a coma for like, a week. And hugs are nice."
  220. [22:36] Arina "Better than the tackle-hug she was planning, anyway."
  221. [22:36] JohnH looks at Kasra while he is in the embrace and he raises his eyebrows suggestively
  222. [22:36] Kasra "D-do you hug everyone that sleeps too late?"
  223. [22:37] IcePickLobotomy "No, just the cute ones."
  224. [22:37] Mary blinks a bit surprised
  225. [22:37] JohnH "Thats why I haven't gotten a hug. It's because I'm handsome, not cute."
  226. [22:37] IcePickLobotomy "Do you want a hug too John?"
  227. [22:38] JohnH "Well, I mean.." John trails off
  228. [22:38] Mary "in your dreams" she mutters on johns comment
  229. [22:38] Arina chuckles. "I think he might want a promise you're not going to fall on the floor again first."
  230. [22:38] IcePickLobotomy JohnH: You find yourself embraced by a small Japanese girl "There." She says before returning to her cake. She eyes Artyom a moment.
  231. [22:38] Kasra is frozen. "It seems like there is no response for me to make to that."
  232. [22:38] IcePickLobotomy "Nyet."
  233. [22:39] Arina smiles slightly.
  234. [22:42] Kasra "Arina? Is there something wrong?"
  235. [22:44] Arina blinks, shaking her head and smiling. "Hm? No, of course not."
  236. [22:47] Kasra studies her for a moment longer before moving on.
  237. [22:47] Mary "hey,, the cutest onee that is here did not get a hug yet .. " she says and the presents meagan up in the air.
  238. [22:48] IcePickLobotomy "Oh of course, how could I forget /you/ ." She takes Meagan and gently hugs the baby while engaging in baby-talk
  239. [22:49] Mary smiles amused as she sees that.
  240. [22:49] Arina chuckles. "Should have been first. Though not with the tackle."
  241. [22:49] Kasra "It seems the tackling is best left out altogether."
  242. [22:49] Mary "Fear her cuddly wraith as she pulls at you and trains long range spitting"
  243. [22:49] RobinE "for the most part."
  244. [22:49] IcePickLobotomy "But it's /fun/ . . . ."
  245. [22:50] Mary "Well if one reacts to it , then yes it is quite nice "
  246. [22:50] Arina "... I suppose it has its uses, but maybe not someone who got out of hospital the same day?"
  247. [22:50] Arina "Or... week? Let's start with week and go up."
  248. [22:50] IcePickLobotomy She smiles "Hear that Kasra? You got one week to get ready."
  249. [22:51] Arina "That wasn't 0x1dprecisely0x1d what I meant but I won't stop her either."
  250. [22:51] Kasra "I'm fine, really. It was really mostly psychological damage."
  251. [22:51] Mary "Which still means that you should take to relax and unwind"
  252. [22:51] Kasra "Just...don't knock any furniture over."
  253. [22:52] IcePickLobotomy "I won't." She plants herself onto the couch for emphasis
  254. [22:52] Mary "But as you are already getting the attention of a beautifull young woman I am sure that this will be helpfull with that"
  255. [22:52] Kasra "Maybe Mary's right. If you need to tackle anyone, make it John for now."
  256. [22:52] Arina "Or take up a sport?"
  257. [22:53] IcePickLobotomy "I do kendo! That's a sport!"
  258. [22:53] JohnH "I'll make sure to catch you this time."
  259. [22:54] Mary "Ah but john if a man starts to make a woman disbelive his words , why should she trust new promise?" She souns still amused.
  260. [22:55] IcePickLobotomy "Ppffft, you had your chance."
  261. [22:55] Arina "Well, if she doesn't believe, doesn't that mean she jumps at him less and gets injured less when he's surprised?"
  262. [22:57] Kasra "It's okay, John. I have faith in you."
  263. [22:59] JohnH "Thanks Kasra."
  264. [23:00] Arina "I do too, though I'm not actually 0x1dplanning0x1d to fall into your arms."
  265. [23:00] Arina "Sorry, no tackling."
  266. [23:03] Kasra stands up, his cake half eaten. "Well, thank you all for welcoming me back, but I really think I should rest. Two weeks of sleep is hard labor."
  267. [23:03] RobinE "Sleep is overrated."
  268. [23:03] Mary "Well sleeping beauty..."
  269. [23:04] Arina nods. "Sure, we won't keep you. Whole thing's for your benefit, after all."
  270. [23:04] Kasra "Well, Robin, if you have something less underrated, you know where I sleep."
  271. [23:05] Kasra opens his mouth and suddenly snaps back to Arina before...
  272. [23:05] Arina raises an eyebrow, cheeks reddening slightly as she looks between them and trying to figure out if that was innuendo or not.
  273. [23:06] Kasra It's the most curt thank you you've ever heard before he breezes back down the hallway.
  274. [23:06] Mary blinks and looks between them
  275. [23:07] RobinE "hmh," she takes another bite of cake, "that got weird."
  276. [23:08] Arina hums, sitting down. "He probably interpreted my remark as somewhat snider than I had intended."
  277. [23:08] Mary "Did I miss some teenage drama while I was not looking?"
  278. [23:09] Arina "What I meant was 'the whole thing is for your benefit, so it would be stupid to make you feel uncomfortable doing it'."
  279. [23:09] Arina "What he heard was... probably more along the lines of 'the whole thing was for your benefit, and you're letting it go to waste'?"
  280. [23:10] Arina "Something in that realm, I imagine."
  281. [23:10] Arina "Not his fault, I didn't specify."
  282. [23:15] Mary "Maybe it would be wise then to say something"
  283. [23:18] Mary does not sound as if she belives in the "Maybe" part of that sentence
  284. [23:18] Arina shakes her head. "Yes, but not right now."
  285. [23:19] Arina "He's probably not really interested in hearing it right now."
  286. [23:19] RobinE "He needs his rest."
  287. [23:19] IcePickLobotomy Artyom blinks slowly and takes a long drink from his vodka
  288. [23:21] Mary "Well..."
  289. [23:23] Arina "That too. He's had a lively two weeks."
  290. [21:22] JohnH "Depends on the tree. Some of them stay green all year round."
  291. [21:29] IcePickLobotomy Abigail shrugs "I suppose."
