Smalltown Maids 27

[21:37]	GMOwen	Intro: We have seen the Smalltown, and it is us.
[21:37]	GMOwen	With all the antics these girls get up to, it’s no wonder most of them crash into bed early. Josh is still up being a good student and doing homework a few days early, down in the dining room after everyone’s gone to bed.
[21:37]	GMOwen	Or HAVE they…?
[21:37]	GMOwen	...
[21:46]	[Owen]Josh	takes a leisurely pace since it's not due tomorrow.
[21:46]	[Owen]Josh	hates gen-eds. Shouldn't sophomores be done with them already...?
[21:47]	[YU]_Hilde	hums happily as she walks down the hall toward the dining room with a cup of coffee and some homemade cookies on a tray for Josh.
[21:48]	[Owen]Josh	thought everyone was asleep and gets a little nervous when he hears sounds coming his way...
[21:49]	[Owen]Josh	quickly stops being nervous. It's a girl, so that's to be expected in these parts.
[21:50]	Mirai	is also around. She's holding a can of Mittweida and is looking happy. German's definition of happy. As in, being red and full of beer.
[21:50]	Mirai	Selamat pagi~
[21:50]	Mirai	happily waves at Hilde from the couch.
[21:51]	[YU]_Hilde	enters the dining room smelling of caffeine and cookies. She smiles at the drunk on the couch.
[21:52]	Mirai	(the TV is showing Steve Irwing's old episode of "crocodile hunter".)
[21:52]	Mirai	Where are you going~?
[21:53]	[YU]_Hilde	"I made a midnight snack for Josh! He's working hard."
[21:54]	[Owen]Josh	suddenly wonders how he though Mirai being there was not a distraction...
[21:54]	[YU]_Hilde	suddenly remembers that she still has to bring the snack to Josh. She hurries and places the tray onto his table.
[21:54]	[YU]_Hilde	"Hi, Josh. I made something for you."
[21:55]	Mirai	Hoh~
[21:55]	Mirai	Being a good 'lil wife, I see!
[21:55]	[Owen]Josh	"Huh, wha...? Oh, uhh, thanks, Hilde."
[21:55]	[Owen]Josh	didn't expect that.
[21:56]	[YU]_Hilde	blushes and fidgets a little at Mirai's comment. She brightens at the thanks from Josh, though.
[21:57]	Mirai	Heard little Joshie's doing his homework, eh? Maybe big sis can help him a bit, don'tchathink?
[21:57]	Mirai	is, however, not drunk.
[21:57]	Mirai	...yet.
[21:57]	[Owen]Josh	"You're drunk, Mirai, don't bother. I'm your designated driver and I say you shouldn't."
[21:57]	[Owen]Josh	does not know she is not drunk.
[21:58]	Mirai	shush, you. I'm perfectly fine. If you check my synchro rate, it's probably near 300%
[21:59]	[Owen]Josh	"Is that something from one of your animes again? You know I don't watch those."
[21:59]	[Owen]Josh	deadpans and has a cookie or something.
[21:59]	Mirai	Alright! Time to live up my name as a good sis!
[21:59]	[YU]_Hilde	"W-well, if you need anything else . . ."
[22:00]	Mirai	turn off TV, clean up her empty can(s), and set her waypoint to Josh.
[22:00]	[YU]_Hilde	tries to sneak away by slowly walking sideways.
[22:01]	Mirai	Jo~
[22:01]	[Owen]Josh	is not yet considerate enough to get Hilde to stop running away :|
[22:01]	Mirai	rest on Josh from behind, leaving her double melon on his head.
[22:01]	Mirai	...shie~
[22:02]	Mirai	Now lemme see what you're workin' on~
[22:02]	[YU]_Hilde	"Eh . . . heh heh heh."
[22:02]	[YU]_Hilde	bolts off!
[22:02]	Mirai	Oh? She darts off...
[22:02]	[Owen]Josh	looks up.
[22:03]	[Owen]Josh	"You planning on chasing her?"
[22:03]	[Owen]Josh	"Cause I'm not."
[22:03]	Mirai	Naaaaah. She doesn't have homework.
[22:03]	Mirai	YOU do.
[22:17]	[Owen]Josh	"...You planning on helping me, then?"
[22:18]	[Owen]Josh	"Cause I'm not."
[22:18]	Mirai	Kinda.
[22:18]	Mirai	Lemme see lemme see~
[22:18]	Mirai	imaginary tailwags.
[22:18]	Mirai	glances out of the room. Is she there...?
[22:18]	[Owen]Josh	rolls his eyes and lets her see. It's just some Literary Revisions class, teaching kids how to write better goodly.
[22:19]	[YU]_Hilde	cannot be seen just by glancing out of the dining room.
[22:27]	[YU]_Hilde	is curled up in a fetal position underneath the staircase.
[22:28]	Mirai	's namusan eyesight can catch Hilde's position.
[22:28]	Mirai	Oh ho~
[22:29]	Mirai	Since Hilde, your 'legitimate' fiance' is not around...
[22:29]	Mirai	What should I do with you behind her back, hm~?
[22:29]	Mirai	Maybe getting awfully intimate and whatnot~
[22:30]	Mirai	purposely press the double melon on Joshie's head.
[22:30]	Mirai	eyes Hilde. Any reactions?
[22:31]	[YU]_Hilde	doesn't have special eyesight so she can't see through the dining room wall.
[22:32]	[Owen]Josh	rolls his eyes. This again? It never ceases to be awkward...
[22:32]	[Owen]Josh	"I... don't think that, uhh, that either of you are really that legitimate..."
[22:33]	[YU]_Hilde	decides to get up, and goes to take a bath instead of moping.
[22:34]	Mirai	hears the movement, and sigh.
[22:34]	Mirai	Pssshaw.
[22:34]	Mirai	It's either she's tough, or she just doesn't care about you, joshie.
[22:35]	Mirai	separates.
[22:35]	[Owen]Josh	sighs.
[22:35]	Mirai	get Josh a diet coke.
[22:35]	[Owen]Josh	"I think it's that she cares TOO much, and shouldn't."
[22:35]	Mirai	To keep you awake. Better than tea, in my opinion.
[22:36]	Mirai	sits cross-legged opposite of Josh's seat.
[22:36]	[Owen]Josh	drinks just about anything; he's not one for propriety.
[22:36]	[Owen]Josh	"Ehh, probably won't stay up THAT much longer. But thanks."
[22:36]	Mirai	I mean... I put up an elaborate ploy of teasing you, and she gets nowhere near jealous or possessive.
[22:37]	Mirai	That's something.
[22:37]	Mirai	's prankster quota is not refilled. She is sad.
[22:38]	[Owen]Josh	"She's the new girl, Mirai. She's shy and doesn't really know where she fits in yet."
[22:38]	[Owen]Josh	"I tried to tell Luize, but... you know how she is."
[22:38]	[Owen]Josh	sighs again and takes a sip of soda.
[22:38]	[Owen]Josh	"I don't think it helps to be all forward and show off in front of her; not so soon at least."
[22:41]	[K]Mirai	You think so?
[22:42]	[K]Mirai	take a look at Joshie's work. Not her major, so she can't help. Brah.
[22:42]	[Owen]Josh	"I dunno. I'm not a girl. What would a girl think about this?"
[22:42]	[K]Mirai	I think letting out is a way to melt the stranger's wall.
[22:42]	[K]Mirai	But that's just me.
[22:43]	[K]Mirai	idly play with Josh's hair
[22:44]	[Owen]Josh	"Yeah, we've all got our own ideas, I guess."
[22:44]	[Owen]Josh	plays with Mirai's hair too, since she's being so weird.
[22:44]	[Owen]Josh	"Too bad there's no adults here to tell us what we're supposed to do..."
[22:45]	[YU]_Hilde	comes out of the bath in her pajamas with a towel wrapped around her hair. She sits down on a chair and scrubs at the towel.
[22:45]	[K]Mirai	Hey, at least I do count as adults around these parts
[22:46]	[Owen]Josh	"Twenty-two and all you're doing is cleaning a house and looking pretty? Not very adult in my opinion."
[22:46]	[Owen]Josh	"Welcome back, Hilde. Feel better?"
[22:46]	[YU]_Hilde	"Hm? I'm fine."
[22:47]	[YU]_Hilde	pretends like nothing was wrong.
[22:49]	[Owen]Josh	"Kay."
[22:49]	[YU]_Hilde	glances back and forth between her homemade snack, and the soda can in Josh's hand.
[22:49]	[YU]_Hilde	"Are you finished with your homework already?"
[22:49]	[Owen]Josh	puts his homework away. He's make enough progress for tonight, and the girls' feelings are probably more important?
[22:50]	[Owen]Josh	"Not, really, but I'm not doing much with it right now."
[22:50]	[YU]_Hilde	nods and smiles at Josh.
[22:50]	[YU]_Hilde	"Here, let me put away all these cookies then."
[22:51]	[Owen]Josh	"Gah, no; mine. You gave them to me."
[22:51]	[Owen]Josh	pulls the plate towards him!
[22:51]	[YU]_Hilde	blinks at Josh. Her mouth hangs open in stupefied surprise.
[22:52]	[YU]_Hilde	"But, you shouldn't eat if you are going to bed. It's not good for you."
[22:52]	[K]Mirai	Pft.
[22:52]	[K]Mirai	giggles.
[22:54]	[Owen]Josh	"Says who?"
[22:54]	[Owen]Josh	eats another cookie.
[22:56]	[K]Mirai	as long as you have a good exercise.
[22:56]	[K]Mirai	And you can stay fit and firm just like me!
[22:56]	[K]Mirai	showoffs!
[22:57]	[YU]_Hilde	looks really relieved. She smiles widely at Josh.
[22:59]	[Owen]Josh	doesn't pay attention to the showoff, because he's not supposed to look at other women in front of his wife :|
[22:59]	[Owen]Josh	smiles back, sorta.
[23:00]	[Owen]Josh	"Good to see you not hiding for a change, Hilde."
[23:00]	[YU]_Hilde	"I . . . I wasn't hiding!"
[23:00]	[YU]_Hilde	stares down at her feet, embarrassed.
[23:00]	[K]Mirai	read the mood and pipe down. Let the waifu got her sweet time.
[23:01]	[K]Mirai	silently leave, but still wait around in case something interesting happened or josh requires something
[23:02]	[YU]_Hilde	*Awkward Silence*
[23:03]	[Owen]Josh	tells himself he should try and force Hilde to break it. She needs to be a go-getter!
[23:04]	[YU]_Hilde	mumbles something barely audible.
[23:05]	[Owen]Josh	"Mmm?"
[23:07]	[Owen]Josh	"You say something?"
[23:07]	[YU]_Hilde	"I . . . didn't . . . you . . ."
[23:08]	[YU]_Hilde	is somewhat louder now, but still incomprehensible.
[23:10]	[K]Mirai	holds her breathe. It's like watching a detective series and this is a revelation part.
[23:15]	Luize	makes small childlike footsteps as she comes down, half-asleep rubbing her eyes as she comes down without saying anything heading torwards the frdige.
[23:15]	[Owen]Josh	"Are, you trying to saying something? I don't have all night."
[23:16]	[YU]_Hilde	takes a deep breath, works up her courage, and shouts it out.
[23:16]	[YU]_Hilde	"I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO FIND OUT I WAS STUPID."
[23:16]	Luize	....huhhhnnnn?
[23:16]	[Owen]Josh	"...ehh?"
[23:16]	Luize	turns around at the yelling girl... who's being so loud....
[23:16]	[YU]_Hilde	is red-faced and out of breath, as if she's just ran the 100 meter dash.
[23:16]	[Owen]Josh	"I, didn't call you stupid, though..."
[23:17]	[K]Mirai	pfft
[23:17]	Luize	hnnngg... oh you.... stop whining.... zzz... those stupid thoughts...gnn,.. be forbidden here...
[23:17]	Luize	You'll..zz.. be fine... yeah.
[23:18]	Luize	snatches a juice box from the fridge its her own personal stash... that was shared.
[23:18]	[YU]_Hilde	". . ."
[23:19]	Luize	...drat.... still warm....
[23:19]	Luize	smacks lips... eh, it'll be fine.
[23:19]	[Owen]Josh	"Hilde, what's wrong? I mean, I know this is awkward for everyone."
[23:19]	[YU]_Hilde	shuffles her feet nervously.
[23:20]	[Owen]Josh	"I'm not trying to pry. Just take your own time. Don't answer, even."
[23:21]	[Owen]Josh	"I don't know how Uncle Joe runs things, but I let people try and live their own lives more or less. I'm nobody's boss around here; I'm just some kid like you, I guess."
[23:21]	Luize	plops onto a seat near Josh, enjoying her juice in a somewhat silent enviroment.
[23:21]	[Owen]Josh	tries to be a nice guy to Hilde, since no one is... WAS, interrupting him... :|
[23:25]	[YU]_Hilde	"I'm not oblivious. I know having me here is a bother for you. It's already hard enough, and once you found out I'm stupid you definitely won't like me."
[23:25]	Luize	Dunno what's goin on here... Josh... and that new girl....zz... but yknow... don't worry....
[23:26]	[Owen]Josh	scratches his head, ignoring Luize. Hilde is important right now.
[23:27]	[Owen]Josh	"Wait, slow down, who's calling who stupid here? I think you're making a bigger deal out of this than it already is."
[23:27]	Luize	We'...ll.. uh... all family here... your intel quota or szmm.. streets smarts don't matter...
[23:27]	Luize	Joshie here.. don't... uh... care bout gnn.. that stuffs.
[23:28]	[Owen]Josh	"I mean, after dealing with four girls I don't really mind one more all thinks considered. I've kinda gotten used to it by now."
[23:29]	[YU]_Hilde	"B-but . . ."
[23:29]	Luize	holds up her box juice to Hilde..
[23:29]	Luize	here... take some.. if it'll... uh... take this "Stupid" so much you hate then..I'll take some from you too.
[23:30]	[YU]_Hilde	gently takes the juice box from Luize and sips a bit of it from the straw.
[23:31]	Luize	wobbles a little, damn girl are you sleepwalking?
[23:31]	Luize	then chugs it.
[23:31]	[Owen]Josh	is too tired to really understand what Hilde is really saying here.
[23:31]	Luize	There...
[23:31]	Luize	I took some...now.. zz.
[23:32]	[YU]_Hilde	"I can't help Josh with his homework."
[23:32]	[YU]_Hilde	tries to explain a little.
[23:32]	[YU]_Hilde	is a little more calmed down from the juice Luize shared with her.
[23:32]	Luize	Y'see...
[23:33]	Luize	Josh is like those lion cubs.. that you gotta let go and think for themselves.. or something...
[23:33]	Luize	And hope they don't get tossed into the ravine with stupid laughing hyenas.
[23:33]	[YU]_Hilde	looks puzzled at Luize.
[23:34]	Luize	....hnn...so many questions... just... Josh is a man.. yknow.. let him handle it...otherwise...ughn...
[23:35]	[YU]_Hilde	"I know he's a man. I just want to be helpful."
[23:36]	Luize	Then cheer him on.. or something...
[23:36]	Luize	flops back onto her chair.
[23:36]	[Owen]Josh	"You're already helping, Hilde. A lot more than most of the other girls, at least."
[23:36]	[Owen]Josh	"I mean, you brought me cookies and I didn't even ask. When do any of THEM do that?"
[23:36]	[Owen]Josh	glares at Luize.
[23:36]	Luize	Last night... I snugged in your bed...
[23:37]	[YU]_Hilde	"Really?"
[23:37]	Luize	puts a half-lidded :3 as she fights to keep awake.
[23:37]	[YU]_Hilde	finally looks at Josh, with teary puppy-dog eyes.
[23:38]	[Owen]Josh	tries to look and keep a straight face... It's hard...
[23:38]	[Owen]Josh	"I mean it, really. It's like... We all just do what we can. You don't worry about what you can't."
[23:39]	Luize	Oh and Joshie... you know you like us... it's like the family you love to hate.. but...zznn... can't bring to leave...
[23:39]	[Owen]Josh	"Never said I didn't, Luize."
[23:40]	[Owen]Josh	ruffles the kid's hair.
[23:40]	[YU]_Hilde	wipes at her watery eyes with the sleeves of her pajamas.
[23:40]	Luize	I kno.w....but your actions... I'm ...ssnn.. .a kid but... I know those actions if I...uh.. what was it.. sees one.
[23:42]	Luize	Ah.. right!... your name was Hilde...yeah~...
[23:43]	Luize	looks at her, sorta still deadpanned face.
[23:43]	Luize	Just do waht you can... then don't worry about not being able to.....we got our own time to shine... just you waiitt...ehee
[23:44]	[YU]_Hilde	nods.
[23:44]	Luize	Nooww... then... make up...or soething...
[23:44]	[Owen]Josh	maybe listens to Luize? He holds out his hand across the table.
[23:44]	[Owen]Josh	"Are we, good, then?"
[23:46]	[YU]_Hilde	takes Josh's hand.
[23:46]	[YU]_Hilde	"Yeah, I'm good."
[23:48]	Luize	hops down, and tackles Hilde down and give her a kiss on the forehead.
[23:48]	Luize	Make up.....
[23:48]	[Owen]Josh	looks at Hilde's hand before it's sort of ripped away from him by that silly little girl.
[23:49]	[YU]_Hilde	is startled!
[23:49]	[YU]_Hilde	[Luize has startled the Hilde!]
[23:49]	[YU]_Hilde	"Yaah!"
[23:49]	Luize	[Luize is incapacitated by Hilde!]
[23:49]	[YU]_Hilde	lies down on the floor with Luize on top of her.
[23:50]	Luize	Thereeee... now... sleep time... you...your.. room..
[23:51]	[Owen]Josh	shakes his head and gets up.
[23:51]	[Owen]Josh	"You two have fun with that, then. I'm going to bed."
[23:51]	[YU]_Hilde	smiles at the sleepyhead and pats her on the back.
[23:51]	[YU]_Hilde	"You should get to your room too, Luize."
[23:51]	Luize	...no.. your room... you.. me...
[23:51]	[YU]_Hilde	"Goodnight, Josh!"
[23:51]	[YU]_Hilde	calls out while she's pinned to the ground.
[23:52]	[Owen]Josh	"Night. Don't do anything uncouth, now. I mean it."
[23:53]	Luize	Yeeeessss......
[23:53]	[YU]_Hilde	blushes and nods slowly.
[23:54]	Luize	Goooo........!....let's sleeeppp.. .Hildey..
[23:56]	[YU]_Hilde	wraps her arms around Luize and tries to lift her up while she gets up.
[23:56]	Luize	[She's really light, just like any other small adolescent girl~]
[23:57]	[YU]_Hilde	can't get up!
[23:57]	[YU]_Hilde	"I can't get up."
[23:58]	Luize	....
[23:58]	Luize	gets off of her.
[23:59]	[YU]_Hilde	gets up and takes Luize to her room~
[00:00]	[YU]_Hilde	puts Luize in her bed, tucks her in and makes sure she's comfortable, then pulls out an extra set of blankets and sleeps on the floor.
[00:01]	Luize	...nooo... we sleep together...
[00:01]	Luize	fumbles out and scoots behind her.
[00:02]	Luize	gets rather close to Hilde as she is now finally sound asleep
[00:03]	[YU]_Hilde	blinks, and spreads out her blanket to cover Luize. She gets her an extra pillow, and then goes to sleep~
[00:05]	[Owen]Josh	[Daw ending confirmed! According to Luize's actor. Actress. Actor. Jury's still out on that.]
