Smalltown Maids 6

[21:00]	<GMOwen>	All right, let's do this up right!
[21:01]	<GMOwen>	I won't have the studio getting jacked like last week!
[21:01]	<GMOwen>	Smalltown Maids, Episode 6, Take Two! Aaaaaand... we're rolling! At least, I think we are...
[21:01]	<GMOwen>	Intro: If there's one thing we know, it's that slice-of-life episodes are cute and fun, but not as epic as episodes where THINGS ACTUALLY HAPPEN! But what kind will this one be? Perhaps we'll find out... when our program continues!
[21:02]	<GMOwen>	Oh yeah, it's also evening of the same day now. The cool people have finished setting up most of the furniture, cleaned up after dinner, and are just generally chillin'. Y'know, in case you actually CARE.
[21:04]	* [huh]Yukiko	rests on a couch, taking up most of it.
[21:04]	* [Owen]Josh	fiddles with the TV in the living room, hooking up some game system or other.
[21:05]	* Mirai	rest on the same couch as Yukiko, wiping her tears. She's reading some novel, it seems.
[21:05]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Stupid new TVs, making me use composite... I LIKE Co-ax!"
[21:05]	<Mirai>	*sniff*... Riannon... poor Riannon...
[21:06]	* [Owen]Josh	is at least glad his head isn't full of dust right now, since they dusted BEFORE setting up furniture. Gee, what a smart guy!
[21:06]	* Luize	then takes the controller and plops down in front of the TV ready to play.
[21:07]	<Mirai>	It's... *sniff*... It's no good. I have to stop.
[21:07]	* Mirai	then puts a bookmark in place and closes the novel.
[21:07]	* Mirai	wipe wipe.
[21:07]	<GMOwen>	Luize: It's a Nintendo 64! Either Josh is awesome like that, or he's an utter loser! I wonder which...
[21:08]	* [Owen]Josh	shouts from behind the entertainment center:
[21:08]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Someone wanna turn the TV on? I think it MIGHT work now."
[21:09]	<Luize>	... did you switch to channel 3?
[21:09]	<[huh]Yukiko>	An interesting story, Mirai?
[21:10]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I don't think I need to, since it's composite video. Should just be on on of those sub-channels, like AUX1 or something."
[21:11]	* [Owen]Josh	doesn't really know how to work digital TVs.
[21:11]	* Mirai	nodnods.
[21:11]	<Mirai>	I just started reading it, but even the intro can moved me to tears.
[21:11]	<Mirai>	I think it's worth reading, yes.
[21:13]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Hmmm...
[21:13]	* [huh]Yukiko	stares at the TV.
[21:13]	* Mirai	stores the novel inside her uniform. Wut?
[21:14]	* [Owen]Josh	clambers back in front of the TV.
[21:15]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Well, work on it; I'm gonna pop upstairs for the rest of the games."
[21:16]	* [Owen]Josh	vacates!
[21:16]	<Luize>	Yes Josh.
[21:18]	<Mirai>	Gaming?
[21:18]	* Mirai	looks at the busy Luize.
[21:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I don't think I've ever actually really seen one of these.
[21:22]	<Mirai>	It's probably one of those outdated models, I assume.
[21:24]	<Mirai>	Strange. I don't feel like playing it, somehow.
[21:24]	<Mirai>	Maybe gaming is too... young, for me.
[21:25]	* Mirai	sighs.
[21:25]	* [Owen]Josh	returns with a box of gaming stuff and things.
[21:25]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Who's too young?"
[21:25]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Besides Luize, obviously."
[21:27]	* [huh]Yukiko	watches interestedly.
[21:28]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Well, I mean I've never played video games at all.
[21:28]	<Mirai>	It's nothing. I'm just reminiscing.
[21:28]	<Mirai>	The days when Gameboy black 'n white was still new for me...
[21:29]	* Mirai	sighs more.
[21:29]	<Luize>	... yeah, and the controller pak keeps getting corrupted.
[21:29]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...Corrupted?
[21:30]	* Luize	turns to Yukiko.
[21:30]	<Mirai>	You don't know how much I poured my time on that little small screen playing Mario...
[21:30]	* Mirai	is in nostalgia modo.
[21:30]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I hear ya. Can't beat the old days. Hence the N-64."
[21:32]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Don't play it as religiously as I used to, though. But I thought, hey, we've got the space, might as well."
[21:32]	* [huh]Yukiko	sits up.
[21:33]	<Mirai>	It may be a good addition to the house as a means of entertainment, yes.
[21:33]	<Luize>	You don't know?
[21:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	About what? I've told you I have no experience with these things.
[21:34]	<Mirai>	Nor do I.
[21:34]	* Mirai	extends hand to Yukiko. Pardner!
[21:34]	* [huh]Yukiko	shakes, though not sure why.
[21:35]	<Luize>	In short, the controller pak is a piece of shit, engineered to make money.
[21:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	So by corrupted... I doubt you mean evil spirits.
[21:35]	<Luize>	Nope..
[21:36]	* [Owen]Josh	scowls.
[21:36]	<[Owen]Josh>	"This one, or all of them in general?"
[21:36]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Because hey, I LIKE controller paks. They don't scratch."
[21:36]	<Mirai>	You shouldn't speak such a foul language, Luize! It will make you look like a bad girl!
[21:36]	* Mirai	shift glasses!
[21:37]	* [huh]Yukiko	crawls over to examine the console more thoroughly.
[21:37]	* [Owen]Josh	shimmies over so Yukiko can see better.
[21:38]	* Mirai	does not pay any attention to the console whatsoever. She NEVER heard of N64 before.
[21:38]	<[Owen]Josh>	"No time for video games in the land of maids and ninjas, eh?"
[21:39]	<[huh]Yukiko>	In short, yes.
[21:39]	* [huh]Yukiko	picks it up and examines the bottom. Oooh, panels. She pops a few off to see what's there.
[21:39]	* [Owen]Josh	scratches his head.
[21:39]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ahh, well, probably for the best. A big waste of time in the long run. And these days it's all about the money anyways."
[21:40]	* [Owen]Josh	keeps a semi-close on eye on her. Better not break anything...
[21:40]	<Mirai>	They are nice once in a while. Just don't get too absorbed with it.
[21:40]	<Mirai>	My friend once marathoned Valkyrie profile on every difficulty and collected every possible little thing.
[21:40]	<Mirai>	He dropped one year.
[21:41]	<Mirai>	because he didn't go take his exams.
[21:41]	* Mirai	notes that this is true story.
[21:41]	* Luize	frowns... and returns to working on the N64.
[21:41]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Oh, ouch. Best I've got for that is the day I played Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time in one sitting."
[21:42]	<Mirai>	Anyways, is it working?
[21:43]	<[huh]Yukiko>	The light is on, I think that means it is.
[21:45]	* [Owen]Josh	flips through the auxiliary channels. Nope, blank screen.
[21:45]	<Mirai>	Let me take a quick look.
[21:45]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Gah, I can never make old things work with new TVs."
[21:45]	* [Owen]Josh	hands it over to Mirai.
[21:45]	* Mirai	messes with the TV settings a bit.
[21:45]	<Mirai>	hm~ hmhm~
[21:45]	* Mirai	hums while she's at it.
[21:46]	<Luize>	...what the heck is going on..
[21:46]	* [Owen]Josh	shrugs. Lolidunno.
[21:46]	<Mirai>	Okay. I think I got the TV side setting up.
[21:46]	<Mirai>	Try resetting it.
[21:46]	* [huh]Yukiko	can't actually read the reset button, so...
[21:46]	* [Owen]Josh	flips the power off and on. He doesn't trust the Reset button.
[21:48]	<GMOwen>	Success! The cheerful theme of Mario Kart 64 plays... well, cheerfully.
[21:50]	<Luize>	..ooh... this game..
[21:50]	<Mirai>	Oh my. I got it working in the end.
[21:50]	<Mirai>	Huge success~!
[21:51]	* Mirai	almost pops up that heart emoticon above her head.
[21:51]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Wait... you haven't heard of an N64 but you know Portal?"
[21:52]	<Mirai>	Huh?
[21:52]	* Mirai	questioning look.
[21:52]	<[Owen]Josh>	"...never mind. I skipped about three steps there."
[21:52]	* [huh]Yukiko	studies a controller.
[21:52]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...
[21:52]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ahh, you wanna try and play, Yuki?"
[21:52]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Where do I hold?
[21:53]	* [huh]Yukiko	stares at the three bits.
[21:53]	* [Owen]Josh	shows the correct grip on his own controller. Here, and here.
[21:53]	* [huh]Yukiko	copies.
[21:53]	<[huh]Yukiko>	It seems complicated already...
[21:54]	* Mirai	ufufu~
[21:54]	<Mirai>	I'll prepare some snacks.
[21:54]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Well, you never played video games before. So, yeah."
[21:54]	* Mirai	bows once, and heads to the kitchen. The refrigerator, in fact.
[21:54]	<Luize>	..I'll play first.. it's been a while.
[21:54]	* Luize	already had her hand on a controller.
[21:55]	<[Owen]Josh>	"We can play four-player, actually."
[21:56]	* Luize	checks her joystick...good its not overly used..
[21:56]	<[Owen]Josh>	"And hey, no racing until Yuki gets the hang of things. Just mess around, okay?"
[21:57]	<Luize>	Right~
[21:57]	* Luize	says in a seemingly innocent tone.
[21:57]	<Mirai>	I'm back~
[21:57]	* Mirai	is back from the kitchen carrying a pack of ice-cold.....mountain dew.
[21:57]	* Mirai	also has a pack of fritos.
[21:57]	* [Owen]Josh	certainly didn't buy that Dew. Fritos are awesome, though.
[21:58]	<Mirai>	It's the gamer's fuel, worldwide!
[21:59]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Do you actually WANT to be associated with gamers, Mirai?"
[22:00]	<Mirai>	I thought it would be nice to have some at hand, so.
[22:00]	* Mirai	shrugs.
[22:01]	* [Owen]Josh	shrugs too and clicks up the options for an easy, slow 4-player race.
[22:01]	<Luize>	...awww..
[22:02]	<Luize>	No 150cc mode?
[22:02]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Don't whine, or I'll make you clean things."
[22:02]	* [huh]Yukiko	is almost overwhelmed by the colorful, E-rated imagery.
[22:02]	<Mirai>	huh? did you just include me as a player?
[22:02]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Why not? The more the merrier."
[22:02]	* Mirai	sweatdrops. Racing game? Not her type at all. but if it's a fighting game, that's another story.
[22:03]	<Mirai>	S... sure...
[22:03]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Come on, it's not like we're actually trying to win or anything. We'll probably get bored in a half-hour anyways."
[22:03]	<Mirai>	I'll try my best!
[22:03]	* Mirai	nuts up!
[22:06]	<Luize>	You should tell them about the miniturbo boost Josh..
[22:07]	* [Owen]Josh	glares are Luize.
[22:07]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I'd better not catch you using that."
[22:07]	* [huh]Yukiko	... what is with this? She chooses the green, uh, lizard ... thing?
[22:07]	* Mirai	chooses the most obvious guy ever, that red plumberman.
[22:07]	* [Owen]Josh	chooses the most lame guy ever, that green plumberman.
[22:08]	* Luize	chooses... Bowser.
[22:08]	* [huh]Yukiko	once again doesn't get this terminology at all.
[22:08]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Don't worry, Yuki. She's trying to cheat, is all."
[22:09]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Cheat? She is?
[22:09]	<Luize>	..It's not cheating.
[22:09]	<Mirai>	You're going to cheat even with a newbie like me?!
[22:09]	<Mirai>	Oh you!
[22:09]	<Luize>	Using a shell to hold in the back to stop a blue shell is cheating.
[22:09]	* Mirai	pouts!
[22:09]	<GMOwen>	But Luize, Yukiko already picked Bowser!
[22:09]	<GMOwen>	Didn't you see that?
[22:09]	<[huh]Yukiko>	[No, I choose Yoshi.]
[22:09]	<Luize>	[Its Yoshi.. tard..]
[22:09]	<Luize>	[No one wants the fugly bowser.]
[22:09]	<GMOwen>	Wow, you can hear me? Awesome!
[22:10]	<[huh]Yukiko>	[My hearing is keen beyond compare.]
[22:10]	<[Owen]Josh>	"All you need to know is, blue button is go, green button is stop, and use the stick to turn."
[22:10]	<[Owen]Josh>	"The rest, you can learn as you go."
[22:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I see.
[22:11]	* Mirai	nodnods.
[22:13]	<Luize>	I suggest learning to use the R button to learn how to slide as well.
[22:13]	<Luize>	It'll compliment your brakes during sharp turns.
[22:13]	<Mirai>	Uh.... R-button, R-button...
[22:13]	* Mirai	looks around for it.
[22:13]	<Luize>	Look where your index finger is at.
[22:14]	* Luize	shows how she is holding the controller.
[22:14]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ignore them, Yuki; they're trying to win. Just start with the basics, like I said."
[22:14]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yes, Josh.
[22:15]	<Mirai>	Mm.
[22:15]	* [Owen]Josh	clicks up the very easy Luigi Raceway.
[22:15]	<Luize>	I'll still beat you just using the basics...
[22:16]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...Do you derive pleasure from beating beginners?
[22:16]	* Luize	starts going backwards at the beginning of the race.
[22:16]	<Luize>	Yes.
[22:16]	* [huh]Yukiko	sighs. This child...
[22:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"It's about having fun, girls. Come on, who's having fun?!"
[22:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Josh is having fun, who else is having fun?!"
[22:17]	* [Owen]Josh	throws his hands up in the air. Woo!
[22:17]	* Mirai	is driving forward with a very slow speed.
[22:17]	<Mirai>	stays on right lane... slowly turrrrrnnnn..... alright....
[22:17]	* Mirai	FOCUS!
[22:17]	* [huh]Yukiko	gets acquainted with the walls.
[22:17]	<Mirai>	watches the corner.  Stay on your lane.... tuuuurrrrrrnnnnn....
[22:17]	* Mirai	is driving like in real life.
[22:18]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Don't be afraid to ease up on the gas button for the turns. Nice and easy, nice and easy."
[22:18]	* Luize	goes backwards until she meets them and then goes the same direction as they are.  She tailgates Yukiko.
[22:18]	* [Owen]Josh	frowns. He'd do something about that, but Bowser's got too much weight to push around.
[22:19]	<Mirai>	Oh? Oh?! What's the blinking turtle I have? it's green!
[22:19]	<Mirai>	How can I jump on it or something, josh?!
[22:19]	* [huh]Yukiko	tries this slowly...
[22:19]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ahh, that's a weapon. Use this trigger here to shoot it."
[22:19]	<[Owen]Josh>	"And this one here'll do a bunny hop."
[22:20]	* [Owen]Josh	starts bunny-hopping like crazy. Bop~, bop~, bop~
[22:20]	* Luize	bumps Yukiko and honks her horn.
[22:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...Who is that?
[22:20]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Oh, that's just Luize. She's being mean."
[22:21]	* [Owen]Josh	Red-shells Luize from behind!
[22:21]	<[Owen]Josh>	"And now she's not anymore."
[22:21]	* [huh]Yukiko	sorta gets the hang of things now. She can navigate.
[22:21]	* Mirai	hops along, trying to step on that green turtle tailing her.
[22:21]	<Mirai>	I can't step on it!
[22:21]	* Mirai	panic! D:
[22:21]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ahh, umm, umm..."
[22:22]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Hold back'n'shoot at the same time!"
[22:22]	<Mirai>	Okay!
[22:22]	* Mirai	pews!
[22:22]	* Luize	grins.
[22:22]	* Luize	gets hurted and picks up a "Star" and then rams into Josh and juggles him in the air for a bit.
[22:22]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Waaahhahaha!"
[22:22]	* Mirai	's turtle bounces around randomly!
[22:22]	* Mirai	also kisses the wall in the process.
[22:23]	<Mirai>	Wah-!
[22:24]	<Luize>	..you said not to win.. but I can still have my fun right Josh~?
[22:24]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Bah, humbug!"
[22:24]	<GMOwen>	Ahh, what a fun game. In the end, Luize wins, like the elitist she is. Yukiko comes in second since Josh is just messing around and kinda made Mirai fall back.
[22:24]	<Luize>	[Uh.. what.. I was gonna come in last..]
[22:25]	<GMOwen>	No you weren't, shut up.
[22:25]	<Luize>	[And then ram everyone during the finish pose with a star and crying..]
[22:26]	<GMOwen>	Ahh, what a fun game. In the end, Luize loses, like the elitist she is. Yukiko comes in first since Josh is just messing around and kinda made Mirai fall back.
[22:26]	<Mirai>	I know I have to drive fast in a racing game, but I can't.
[22:26]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Huh...
[22:26]	<Mirai>	my safe-driving sense is tingling...
[22:26]	* Mirai	;w;
[22:27]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I guess I can see what our nation's youth sees in these things.
[22:28]	* [Owen]Josh	sets his controller down and stretches.
[22:28]	<[Owen]Josh>	"And this is over a decade old, too. The news games look almost realistic. No soul, though. Just shineys."
[22:28]	<Mirai>	I cannot agree with that.
[22:28]	* Mirai	is burning!
[22:28]	<Mirai>	Because, because....
[22:28]	<Luize>	Because...?
[22:28]	<Mirai>	Tekken is both shiny and fun!
[22:29]	* Luize	sighs.
[22:29]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Isn't Tekken really old, though?"
[22:29]	* [Owen]Josh	never followed fighting games.
[22:29]	<Mirai>	Just like Rockman and the rest. They got sequels.
[22:29]	<Mirai>	I learned a lot from that game, y'see!
[22:30]	* Mirai	highkick! Also flashes some!
[22:30]	<Mirai>	Tah!
[22:30]	* [Owen]Josh	is actually pretty impressed by that kick, flashing aside.
[22:30]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Tekken?
[22:30]	<Mirai>	Martial artist fighting game.
[22:31]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Fighting?
[22:31]	<Mirai>	It has some unusual arts, and sometimes unusual characters.
[22:31]	<Mirai>	like, uh, robots.
[22:31]	* [huh]Yukiko	is interested.
[22:31]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Fighting is something I know.
[22:31]	<Mirai>	And Kangaroos. And bears.
[22:31]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...Robots and kangaroos I do not know.
[22:31]	<Luize>	Oh.. and trees too.
[22:32]	* Luize	remarks.
[22:32]	<Mirai>	I think it's a target practice doll, but okay.
[22:32]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I think I understand why people say these things poison childrens' minds...
[22:32]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You're not kidding."
[22:33]	* [Owen]Josh	is glad he doesn't own Katamari.
[22:33]	<Luize>	I blame the daily intake of ocean fish.
[22:33]	<Mirai>	I blame an inability to manage time.
[22:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Fish are healthy, though.
[22:33]	<Mirai>	Fish today, then?
[22:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Hm?
[22:34]	<Mirai>	My, my. Dinner of course, dear.
[22:34]	<Luize>	hmm... some seafood would be nice.
[22:34]	<[Owen]Josh>	"But we just ate. You want a second dinner?"
[22:34]	<Luize>	...yes.
[22:34]	<Luize>	A light one at the very least.
[22:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Children shouldn't overeat...
[22:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Well, before you do, did any of you happen to find a key around the house? A skeleton key?"
[22:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"There's a locked room upstairs and I don't know what's in it."
[22:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	No, I did not. Have you lost one, Josh?
[22:37]	<Luize>	... I do not recall finding a key anywhere Josh.
[22:37]	* Luize	thinks..
[22:37]	<Mirai>	Can't you just destroy it with your ninja prowess, Yukiko?
[22:38]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I could try...
[22:39]	I've had to break doors before. Would that do, Josh?
[22:39]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I'd... rather ya' didn't."
[22:39]	<[huh]Yukiko>	As you wish.
[22:40]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I'm just curious, is all."
[22:42]	<Luize>	...oh wait.
[22:42]	<Luize>	I do however remember seeing something.. gleaming under one of the sofas..
[22:43]	<[Owen]Josh>	"And, what? You didn't pick it up? What an amazing maid..."
[22:45]	* Mirai	eats fritos
[22:45]	<Luize>	..I couldn't reach it..
[22:45]	* Luize	sighs.
[22:46]	* [Owen]Josh	sighs even more pathetically.
[22:46]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Haaahh... Which couch?"
[22:47]	<Luize>	Help me lift the sofa we were sitting on.
[22:47]	* Luize	stands next to it.
[22:47]	* [Owen]Josh	goes to the other side. He hopes it's not a couch-bed; those are dang heavy.
[22:48]	<Luize>	Mirai and Yukiko too.
[22:48]	* [huh]Yukiko	pats Josh on the shoulder.
[22:48]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I'll do this, you shouldn't need to exert yourself.
[22:48]	* Mirai	tries to help, but her strength is not really that good.
[22:49]	<Mirai>	I can't just sit around doing nothing while you work!
[22:49]	<[Owen]Josh>	"No, don't worry, lifting couches should be a man's job."
[22:49]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You could get the shiny thing when we lift it though, Mirai."
[22:50]	* Luize	wedges in..
[22:50]	<Luize>	Ready?
[22:50]	<Mirai>	Okay.
[22:50]	* Mirai	gets the broom ready.
[22:50]	* Luize	lifts.. she grunts a little even.
[22:51]	* Mirai	is ready to sweep, milord!
[22:51]	<GMOwen>	Oh no, little Luize loses her grip on the sofa! Who will save us now?!
[22:51]	* [huh]Yukiko	stops the couch with her foot.
[22:51]	<Mirai>	!!
[22:52]	<[huh]Yukiko>	You need to be careful with these things...
[22:52]	<Mirai>	can I sweep it out yet?
[22:52]	* [Owen]Josh	struggles with his end after Luize drops it.
[22:52]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Grrrggg, yes, go go go! This is heavy!"
[22:52]	<Luize>	Hmmm!
[22:53]	* [huh]Yukiko	tries help take some off the weight off Josh's side.
[22:56]	* Mirai	pews! She sweeps whatever was under that couch out!
[22:56]	<Luize>	...damn it.. I need to work on my strength..
[22:57]	<Mirai>	You don't really have to. You're a girl.
[22:57]	<Mirai>	Let the man do his job.
[22:58]	* [Owen]Josh	plops his end back down. Bah, some "man".
[22:58]	* [huh]Yukiko	wonders what that means about her.
[22:58]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Well, did you get it?"
[22:58]	* [huh]Yukiko	sets her end down with ease.
[22:59]	* Mirai	picks it up.
[22:59]	<Mirai>	This?
[23:00]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Looks like it. Hope it fits, though, after all this trouble."
[23:00]	<Luize>	I hope that's the key you're talking about and not your car keys or something..
[23:01]	* [Owen]Josh	takes the key. Yup, old-fashioned skeleton key.
[23:01]	<Mirai>	Alright. Good to go, then?
[23:02]	<[Owen]Josh>	"We'll find out. Anyone care to follow?"
[23:02]	<Mirai>	I shall accompany you.
[23:02]	* Luize	shrugs and nods.
[23:03]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I'm curious.
[23:05]	<GMOwen>	And so you all take an epic journey to the third floor. A cool door that really isn't that cool sits in the middle of the hallway wall.
[23:06]	<Luize>	Well...then. lets see what's inside...
[22:07]	* [Owen]Josh	opens the door.  Creeeeaakk...
[23:12]	<GMOwen>	It's... a fully-furnished bedroom lounge? The interior is far more luxurious than the rest of the house, seems to have been renovated recently, and with much greater care than other rooms. There's plushy chairs and beanbags everywhere, a projector wall perfect for watching movies, and... wait, why is there a minibar in the corner? The centerpiece of the entire room is a massive pillowy canopied bed, at least twice King-size if not even bigger.
[23:12]	<[Owen]Josh>	"... woah."
[23:13]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...huh.
[23:13]	<Luize>	...holy crap.
[23:13]	<Mirai>	Ah. I haven't informed you earlier.
[23:13]	<Mirai>	This is actually a room of mine.
[23:14]	* Mirai	crosses her finger behind her back.
[23:15]	* [Owen]Josh	is a little delayed in his response as he observes the room.
[23:17]	<[Owen]Josh>	"But... wasn't it locked? Wow, this is a nice room..."
[23:17]	<Mirai>	It's a secret room~
[23:18]	<Mirai>	In fact, I am a princess of a nearby country.
[23:18]	* Mirai	fake sad face!
[23:19]	<Mirai>	I'm here hiding my identity as a commoner to study the world...
[23:19]	<Mirai>	But I can't sleep without my own bed, so...!
[23:19]	* Mirai	dramatic!
[23:19]	<Mirai>	I had to bring it with me!
[23:19]	<Luize>	..hmmm..this is your room Mirai?
[23:19]	* Luize	is skeptical
[23:19]	* [Owen]Josh	flops down on a beanbag. Awesome they're the GOOD kind.
[23:19]	<[huh]Yukiko>	You didn't sleep here before, did you?
[23:19]	* [huh]Yukiko	sits on the bed.
[23:20]	<Mirai>	I... I did! why?
[23:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	In any case, even as a princess, isn't it your duty as a maid to give up this room to the master?
[23:22]	* [Owen]Josh	obviously knows that Mirai can't be a princess.  Nearby country?  So, what, Princess of Canadia?  Yeah...
[23:23]	<Mirai>	Ugh... I.... suppose so...
[23:24]	<Mirai>	You can have it, Josh.
[23:24]	* Mirai	;w;
[23:24]	<Luize>	..oh.. congrats Master, you have a nice room now.
[23:25]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Hey, no way, I'm not moving my stuff again! Besides, look at this room, it's way too girly for me!"
[23:25]	<GMOwen>	He's got a point. The motif is mostly magenta and lilac.
[23:26]	<[huh]Yukiko>	So then... who gets it?
[23:27]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Or should we just leave it?
[23:27]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I christen this the social lounge, for being social, making pillow forts, and watching epic movies."
[23:28]	* [Owen]Josh	clunks a bottle of champagne from the minibar against the wall. Not breaking it, of course.
[23:27]	<Mirai>	aww...
[23:28]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Understood.
[23:28]	* Luize	hugs Josh.
[23:28]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Seriously, though, I be--waah!"
[23:28]	<Luize>	Nice room Josh, who would of known that you were this cool to have a room like this?
[23:29]	* [Owen]Josh	is hugged! In a beanbag chair, no less!
[23:29]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I-I, uhh, I guess...?"
[23:29]	* [huh]Yukiko	shrugs.
[23:29]	* [Owen]Josh	would feel this situation inappropriate if Luize wasn't such a kid.
[23:30]	* [Owen]Josh	hugs Luize back. Sure, why not?
[23:31]	<Mirai>	I'll take some liberty to...
[23:32]	* Mirai	checks the minibar.
[23:32]	<Mirai>	Wow, ice-cold Heineken!
[23:32]	* Mirai	is overjoyed!
[23:32]	* [huh]Yukiko	checks for sake, because Japanese.
[23:33]	<GMOwen>	Wow, the minibar even has that too! It's like a macrobar, only smaller!
[23:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Josh, do you drink?
[23:33]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ahh, no, not yet. Underage."
[23:34]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Right.
[23:34]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You shouldn't either. I can't stop Mirai, though."
[23:34]	<Mirai>	Kyaah~
[23:34]	* Mirai	is enjoying ice-cold beer.
[23:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I usually don't. If you're attacked, it would be unforgivable if drunkenness clouded my senses.
[23:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Mmm, true. Spoken like a true bodyguard."
[23:36]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Really, though, this has got to be another power-play by Uncle Joe.  Wonder why, though...?"
[23:36]	<[huh]Yukiko>	If I were not a true bodyguard, I'd have no place serving you, sir.
[23:36]	* [Owen]Josh	goes ahh-ahh-ahh with his finger.
[23:36]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Josh, Yuki. Just make it Josh."
[23:36]	* Luize	looks around...
[23:36]	<Luize>	ooo...
[23:38]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Josh, then.
[23:38]	* [Owen]Josh	tests out the bed. Truly the king of all beds. You could get lost in this bed!
[23:39]	* Mirai	points.
[23:39]	<Mirai>	Well, you got me there Joshie.
[23:40]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ehh?  What?"
[23:40]	* [Owen]Josh	was too busy enjoying the bed.
[23:46]	<GMOwen>	And he'll probably keep on enjoying it for the rest of the night, and make the girls bring him snacks while he watches some lame movie like Delta Force.
[23:46]	<Luize>	[Hey.. I bought that movie!.. in-game..]
[23:47]	<GMOwen>	Indeed you did, main character Luize!
[23:47]	<GMOwen>	Maybe they'll even fall asleep in the same giant bed, who knows? Not me, because I don't get paid enough to answer those questions!
[23:48]	<GMOwen>	Until next time, remember, knowing is half the battle! The other half is knowing that the 80's are dead.
