[06:11:21:56] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:21:57] <07Reikim> The so-called hero Takuma waits patiently for Lily and Nova to complete their discussions.
12[06:11:21:57] * MankeyBimb_ (uid249013@Rizon-A493A8F5.stonehaven.irccloud.com) has joined #Overcity
[06:11:21:57] <07Reikim> Must come with being immortal. He literally isn't getting any older.

[06:11:21:59] <07Reikim> He stands, calmly, with his hands folded into the sleeves of his kimono
[06:11:21:59] <07Reikim> ...Private Cottontail next to him, on the other hand, watches them nervously from behind the safety of her desk.
[06:11:22:00] <07Reikim> "...Are you sure it's all right to let them, um, *conspire* like that?" she asks.
[06:11:22:00] <07Reikim> Takuma looks over to her, then gently pats her head.
[06:11:22:00] <07Reikim> "Don't worry. Remember that you're one of our oldest and strongest."
[06:11:22:00] <07Reikim> She beams at his praise.
[06:11:22:00] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:22:04] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:22:05] <08Rally> "She's on the oldest?" Lily thinks aloud.
[06:11:22:05] <08Rally> She can't comment on her strength, even if the wolf next to her probably could.
[06:11:22:05] <08Rally> The earth rabbit is in a small predicament. She really doesn't want to give way to Takuma here, but it's looking like a lot more trouble than its worth to try and fight him.
[06:11:22:05] <08Rally> She side-eyes Nova. Banking on a stranger to help her has never been a smart idea either. Even then, it'd be 2 or 3 people waging war against the entire moon.
[06:11:22:05] <08Rally> This could lead to a disaster.
[06:11:22:05] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:22:14] <MankeyBimb_> Nova lets go of the cell bars and turns around. She glances at Lily before turning to the prince, ready to go wherever it is the prince has in store for them next.
[06:11:22:14] <MankeyBimb_> ||
[06:11:22:14] <07Reikim> ||...
[06:11:22:14] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:22:14] <07Reikim> Apparently Nova's given up on the whole "negotiation" angle. Fair enough.
[06:11:22:15] <07Reikim> Takuma observes her closely, then turns and leads the way away.
[06:11:22:15] <07Reikim> "Are you satisfied?" he asks, outside.
[06:11:22:16] <07Reikim> "Upon my honor, neither you nor your friend will be harmed, so long as you observe the terms of our deal."
[06:11:22:16] <07Reikim> He doesn't have to elaborate on what will happen if they don't. His eyes say that well enough.
[06:11:22:17] <07Reikim> "So what say you? I believe this is beneficial for both of us."
[06:11:22:17] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:22:19] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:22:21] <08Rally> Lily nods. "Of course. Not like I wanna stay here for very long anyway~"
[06:11:22:21] <08Rally> Behind her back, she has her fingers crossed.
[06:11:22:21] <08Rally> Ha, gottem.
[06:11:22:22] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:22:25] <MankeyBimb> "...I suppose, but... would it not be better... for everyone... to let us leave rather than keeping us here any longer?" Nova crosses her arms and gives Takuma a cold stare.
[06:11:22:25] <MankeyBimb> ||
[06:11:22:34] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:22:35] <07Reikim> Takuma glares down at her.
[06:11:22:35] <07Reikim> "I have my reasons," he says, "for preferring this arrangement."
[06:11:22:36] <07Reikim> "This is the only deal you will get. There will be no negotiations. Do you accept?"
[06:11:22:36] <07Reikim> ...Nova is used to staring down some scary types, but Takuma has *some* pressure.
[06:11:22:36] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:22:37] <08Rally> (pass)
[06:11:22:39] <MankeyBimb_> Well, he is a high-ranking soldier in command of presumably troublesome amount of other bunny soldiers. It would be untrue to say that Nova doesn't, at the very least, respect the power he wields in this situation.
[06:11:22:39] <MankeyBimb_> She nods once. "Very well."
[06:11:22:39] <MankeyBimb_> ||
12[06:11:22:41] * Jar_Mimic (~Jar_Mimic@Rizon-7FFFA94D.wi.res.rr.com) has joined #Overcity
[06:11:22:44] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:22:44] <07Reikim> Takuma nods back.
[06:11:22:44] <07Reikim> "I'm glad you can see reason," he notes. Then he leads them away again.
[06:11:22:44] <07Reikim> Back towards Tamayori's chambers...
[06:11:22:45] <07Reikim> "Needless to say," he says, as they ascend, "my sister is to know nothing of this."
[06:11:22:45] <07Reikim> "If she asks what happened, you are to tell her that I put you through some drills as punishment for slacking on the job."
[06:11:22:45] <07Reikim> "Telling her any of this will count as breaking our agreement."
[06:11:22:46] <07Reikim> "Is that understood?"
[06:11:22:46] <07Reikim> He stops outside the door to her chambers, and glares down at them again.
[06:11:22:46] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:22:46] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:22:47] <08Rally> "Crystal." Now that the agreement is over, she lets her hand return to her side, flat.
[06:11:22:47] <08Rally> Really, she could do exactly as asked, but she'd rather keep the option open. More fun that way.
[06:11:22:47] <08Rally> "So guess I put my illusions back on, hm?"
[06:11:22:47] <08Rally> ||
12[06:11:22:47] * Gaial1 (~Gaial@B2C40A17:4B62B8B4:6B0165AA:IP) has joined #Overcity
[06:11:22:49] <MankeyBimb_> Nova narrows her eyes a bit, thinking about all of the trouble she could possibly cause. "...Do you expect her to believe that?"
[06:11:22:49] <MankeyBimb_> ||
12[06:11:22:49] * Gaial (~Gaial@8420E147:35D7538C:6B0165AA:IP) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[06:11:22:49] <07Reikim> ...
12[06:11:22:50] * Gaial1 is now known as Gaial
[06:11:22:50] <07Reikim> "Yes. It shouldn't be too difficult to sell it."
[06:11:22:50] <07Reikim> He glances at Lily.
[06:11:22:50] <07Reikim> "Especially for that one."
[06:11:22:50] <07Reikim> He turns and walks away, perfectly confident that they will do as they've been told.
[06:11:22:51] <07Reikim> ...Not even a parting shot. How confident.
[06:11:22:51] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:22:52] <08Rally> ...
12[06:11:22:54] * Eprlide (~Eprlide@Rizon-192310DD.socal.res.rr.com) has joined #Overcity
[06:11:22:55] <08Rally> Well, he's not wrong about Lily's ability to do it.
[06:11:22:55] <08Rally> Still, it's surprising that he's so sure that she'll do it.
[06:11:22:55] <08Rally> He's definitely not an idiot. Yet, maybe he's just so confident that makes him an idiot.
[06:11:22:55] <08Rally> The rabbit hums as she skips along. Well, he didn't tell her to put her illusions back on, so she won't.
[06:11:22:55] <08Rally> Wonder how it'll go~
[06:11:22:55] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:22:59] <MankeyBimb_> Nova glances at Lily after the prince walks out of earshot. "This situation is... a pain. Are you going to tell her the truth?" Nova cocks her head in the direction of the door, and thus, Tamayori waiting on the other side.
[06:11:22:59] <MankeyBimb_> ||
[06:11:23:00] <07Reikim> (pass)
[06:11:23:00] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:23:02] <08Rally> "Who knows."
[06:11:23:02] <08Rally> Lily smirks, her ears bouncing on her head as she takes each step, all a small hop of their own.
[06:11:23:02] <08Rally> "I live purely for fun."
[06:11:23:02] <08Rally> Clasping her hands behind her back, her voice turns sing-song.
[06:11:23:02] <08Rally> "And listening to that idiot is no fun at all~"
[06:11:23:02] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:23:08] <MankeyBimb_> Niba stares blankly for a moment. "...I can agree with that last part. Come, let us go now. I am tired of this charade."
[06:11:23:08] <MankeyBimb_> She reaches for the door handle.

[06:11:23:12] <07Reikim> Tamayori is sitting in her waiting room, nervously picking at some flowers.
12[06:11:23:13] * Ral (~Ral@super.moe.surfer.girl) Quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[06:11:23:13] <07Reikim> The thing must be a small wonder on its own, with its glass-like petals and beautifully twisted stem.
[06:11:23:13] <07Reikim> But she plucks the petals off of it like she's a schoolgirl with a daisy.
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> When the door opens, her head snaps up and she rushes to her feet, with some difficulty. Since they last saw her, she's changed into an elaborate kimono, all layers of white and black and gold. Her hair hangs straight and loose and flows over her shoulders.
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> When they see her, it takes a moment to recognize her.
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> Because...she finally *looks* like a princess.
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> "Are you okay?" she asks, rushing forward.
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> "What happened? You were gone so long! Did my brother..."
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> She chews her lip and glances between them worriedly.
[06:11:23:15] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:23:16] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:23:18] <08Rally> Lily puts on a smile.
[06:11:23:18] <08Rally> "Nah, he had no idea. Went and lectured us about how "You should pay more attention," and "You know how important my sister is," and blah blah blah."
[06:11:23:18] <08Rally> She looks towards Nova.
[06:11:23:18] <08Rally> "Totally fooled him though~"
[06:11:23:18] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:23:25] <MankeyBimb> Nova just grunts and plops down onto a cushioned bench nestled beside the window. This whole situation is far outside her realm of expertise.
[06:11:23:25] <MankeyBimb> ||
[06:11:23:28] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:23:28] <07Reikim> Tamayori buys it.
[06:11:23:29] <07Reikim> Takuma knew what he was talking about. The moment Lily says it, her face brightens, she relaxes, and she lets out a sigh.
[06:11:23:29] <07Reikim> Not an *ounce* of skepticism...
[06:11:23:29] <07Reikim> ...then again, maybe she's used to hearing what she wants to hear.
[06:11:23:29] <07Reikim> "That's so like him!" she exclaims, flopping down on a divan.
[06:11:23:30] <07Reikim> "Please forgive him...he really does mean well! He just..."
[06:11:23:30] <07Reikim> She sighs.
[06:11:23:30] <07Reikim> "...So what now?" she asks, looking at them both eagerly.
[06:11:23:30] <07Reikim> "We're safe for now, so now is our chance!"
[06:11:23:30] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:23:31] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:23:36] <08Rally> Lily bites her lip.
[06:11:23:36] <08Rally> The most defenseless princess to ever live. She sees why Takuma is so protective of her.
[06:11:23:36] <08Rally> "Tell me, when do Lunarians go to sleep?"
[06:11:23:36] <08Rally> She lays the question forward, putting a finger to her chin.
[06:11:23:36] <08Rally> "I find it's a lot easier to do things you're not supposed to when there's less people around."
[06:11:23:36] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:23:38] <MankeyBimb> Nova listens quietly from her comfy window seat perch, weighing her options...
[06:11:23:38] <MankeyBimb> ||
[06:11:23:38] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:23:38] <07Reikim> "Well, that depends," she says, putting a finger to her lips.
[06:11:23:40] <07Reikim> "The bunnies sleep during the night - ah, for you, I guess that would actually be the day on Earth."
[06:11:23:41] <07Reikim> "I usually go to sleep with them, because I get tired easily."
[06:11:23:41] <07Reikim> "Big brother only sleeps once every ten years or so, though, because he's really strong. And I don't think I've *ever* seen Father sleep..."
[06:11:23:41] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:23:43] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:23:45] <08Rally> Sleep is for the weak, huh...
[06:11:23:45] <08Rally> "Do you think you can stay up? I would hope your brother doesn't watch you while you sleep."
[06:11:23:45] <08Rally> Though, knowing him, he might.
[06:11:23:45] <08Rally> Lily's foot unconsciously taps on the floor.
[06:11:23:45] <08Rally> ||
[06:11:23:45] <MankeyBimb> (pass)
[06:11:23:46] <07Reikim> ...
[06:11:23:46] <07Reikim> "Oh, well, I can!" she says, nodding.
[06:11:23:46] <07Reikim> "Yes, that's probably a good idea, right? I'm more worried about the bunnies...brother is only one person, after all. I think he rests, even if he doesn't sleep."
[06:11:23:47] <07Reikim> "Heh! Sometimes he jokes that the only time I'm not getting in trouble is when I'm asleep..." She giggles.
[06:11:23:47] <07Reikim> ||
[06:11:23:47] <08Rally> ...
[06:11:23:49] <08Rally> "I'm sure they can take care of themselves."
[06:11:23:49] <08Rally> "It's not as if we're so far devolved from each other. I have faith in my fellow bunnies."
[06:11:23:49] <08Rally> She herself giggles at that. Whether she believes it is hard to say.
[06:11:23:49] <08Rally> "If we were to wait for night, would you have anything you'd wanna do, Princess?"
