Smalltown Maids 19

[21:37]	<GMOwen>	Where have all the good days gone… Probably just across the street. It’s not that hard to knock on the door.
[21:37]	<GMOwen>	Intro: The semi-cool people had fun swimming and watching people swim. But now the physical awkwardness is over, and Mirai and Eri have gone to bed for the time being. Josh is chilling in the upstairs lounge for now, possibly procrastinating on homework.
[21:37]	* [huh]Yukiko	is lying on the downstairs couch.
[21:39]	* [Owen]Josh	flips through the TV channels. Nope; never anything good on, at least not after primetime.
[21:42]	* Luize	is moving around the house, sneezing and coughing all about... still trying to work it seems.. that poor girl. She sneezes as she passes the upstairs lounge.
[21:43]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Bless you!"
[21:46]	* [Owen]Josh	goes to the door and opens it; he hasn't seen that little kid in a while.
[21:46]	<Luize>	......thank---*achhoo* y--ouh..
[21:47]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Cold or something, Luize?"
[21:50]	<Luize>	Uygh...
[21:50]	* Luize	looks at Josh, looks like this girls been through hell or something.
[21:50]	<Luize>	Both... you could say.
[21:51]	* [Owen]Josh	frowns a little.
[21:52]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Well now that makes me sad. You're... wait, are you still working? It's like ten at night you know."
[21:52]	<Luize>	...Ah... I was going...er.. uhm..
[21:53]	* Luize	is is thinking hard...
[21:53]	<Luize>	...was it upstairs or downstairs... where we kept the medicine...?
[21:54]	* [Owen]Josh	thinks she is making excuses. He tries to usher her inside.
[21:54]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You just go lay down; bed's nicer here anyways. I'll go get it."
[21:54]	<Luize>	...ah..b-ut..
[21:54]	<Luize>	I.. still have some more cleaning to do...
[21:55]	* [Owen]Josh	folds his arms.
[21:56]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Rest. Don't make me play the master card again. It's a very annoying card, Luize. Seriously."
[21:56]	<Luize>	...
[21:56]	* Luize	nods.
[21:57]	* Luize	sits down on a chair nearby.
[21:58]	* [Owen]Josh	goes to get various medicines. They're in the second-floor bathroom.
[21:58]	<Luize>	ah.. so..---ooh.. he left..
[22:00]	* [Owen]Josh	returns, carrying a few bottles and a few small boxes.
[22:01]	* [Owen]Josh	sets them on the counter for now and sees if there's a soothing non-alcoholic drink in the minibar's fridge.
[22:01]	* Luize	kicks her feet around a little.. and hears Josh's footstep looking back at him with a bit more cheer in her eyes.
[22:01]	<[Owen]Josh>	"So is it just a cold, you think?"
[22:01]	<Luize>	...hmm...if I listed all that happened... you might be scared...
[22:02]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Woah, that bad for real?"
[22:03]	<Luize>	Well.. its half true..
[22:04]	* Luize	giggles.. but it sounds ragged and heavily strained.
[22:05]	* [Owen]Josh	doesn't press the issue; she's probably trying to tease him with some unknown double-entendre.
[22:05]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Nnrrmm, that cough doesn't sound too good, you know..."
[22:06]	<Luize>	hehe..
[22:06]	<Luize>	You know.. I was always sick when I was younger.. I still am it seems...
[22:07]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Well, you're still younger."
[22:07]	<Luize>	I----*coughs* know~
[22:07]	* [Owen]Josh	pours Luize a tablespoon of cough syrup. The REAL stuff, not that pink kids' stuff.
[22:09]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Shush now. Let's see if this'll help."
[22:09]	* Luize	takes it and downs without much issue.
[22:10]	* [Owen]Josh	flops down on the bed for now and reads the labels on the medicines. Best to not over-treat it; what works best...
[22:11]	* [huh]Yukiko	opens the door
[22:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Master Josh? I-
[22:11]	* [Owen]Josh	looks up from the labels.
[22:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Oh. Is something the matter?
[22:11]	* [Owen]Josh	motions to Luize with the bottles.
[22:12]	<[Owen]Josh>	"She's been coughing. Gave her some cough syrup for now; seeing if a pill'll help."
[22:29]	<Luize> ...
[22:29]	<Luize> oh... Hi.. Yuki~
[22:29]	* Luize waves weakly at Yukiko.
[22:30]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Need something?"
[22:30]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I was wondering where you kept the dustpan, but..."
[22:30]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks between the bottles and Luize.
[22:31]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I can help make some medicine, if you need."
[22:31]	<Luize>	..ah.. sorry.. hehe...
[22:31]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Nah, it's probably nothing Yuki."
[22:32]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I'd say laughter's the best medicine, but... well, then she'll get to coughing again."
[22:32]	* [Owen]Josh	goes :T
[22:33]	<Luize>	...ah... what brings you here Yuki?...
[22:34]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I was going to ask Josh something."
[22:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Go ahead; not doing anything important here."
[22:35]	<Luize>	...hmm..should I leave then?
[22:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I already did."
[22:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"...oh."
[22:36]	<Luize>	...ooh...
[22:36]	* [Owen]Josh	answers, in that case.
[22:36]	<[Owen]Josh>	"The dustpan is lost in time and space. You'll have to wait in here for the universe to right itself."
[22:36]	<[Owen]Josh>	"It's the only way."
[22:37]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I suppose that vase isn't going anywhere."
[22:37]	* [huh]Yukiko	sits on the bed.
[22:37]	* [Owen]Josh	just hands Luize a bottle.
[22:38]	* Luize	takes it.
[22:38]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I guess take one of these if your throat still feels bad."
[22:38]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I don't trust this western medicine at all."
[22:38]	* [Owen]Josh	gets up and roams around the room, busying himself with sorting out the non-alcoholic stuff in the fridge.
[22:39]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Meh, they're probably all placebos anyways. I wouldn't worry about it, Yuki."
[22:40]	* [Owen]Josh	finds some sparkling red grape cocktail. Faux sophistication; how elegant.
[22:40]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Either of you want any? It's non-alcoholic."
[22:41]	* [Owen]Josh	holds up the bottle.
[22:41]	<Luize>	... I don't think hehe~... any sweets would be good for me right now..
[22:41]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Exactly. I could make a medicine that'll cure everything that's wrong with Luize."
[22:42]	* [Owen]Josh	just pours one glass for now. and sits down on a chair with an endtable by it.
[22:42]	<[Owen]Josh>	"And what if I don't trust that eastern medicine at all, hmm?"
[22:44]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I would be terribly affronted. I've taken my fair share of that medicine, you know."
[22:44]	<Luize>	...hmm..
[22:45]	<Luize>	... couldn't be... *coughs* worse than any other homeopathic medicine...
[22:46]	* [Owen]Josh	shrugs.
[22:46]	<[Owen]Josh>	"...Whatever."
[22:46]	* Luize	turns to Yukiko.
[22:48]	<[Owen]Josh>	"So..."
[22:49]	* [Owen]Josh	looks at the door.
[22:49]	<[huh]Yukiko>	....
[22:49]	<Luize>	..hmm..
[22:49]	<[Owen]Josh>	"...You know, I'm expecting Mirai or someone to come in randomly or something..."
[22:50]	<[Owen]Josh>	"...we never seem to get a chance to talk..."
[22:50]	<Luize>	Well.. do you have some now?
[22:50]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I can make some now."
[22:51]	<Luize>	..ok.
[22:52]	* Luize	dashes over and grabs a tissue and starts coughing incessantly onto it... it sounds painful each time she does.
[22:52]	<Luize>	!!
[22:53]	<[huh]Yukiko>	..."I'll start now."
[22:53]	* [huh]Yukiko	vanishes.
[22:53]	* [Owen]Josh	goes over to Luize.
[22:53]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Easy now. Slow breaths."
[22:53]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You all right?"
[22:54]	<Luize>	...ngnnn...
[22:54]	<Luize>	..yeah..
[22:54]	<Luize>	[The cloth has green and brownish clots all over it..ewww...]
[22:54]	* [Owen]Josh	is not so sure...
[22:55]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Doesn't look like it..."
[22:55]	<Luize>	...I'm still.. alive aren't I/
[22:55]	* Luize	chuckles.
[22:56]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Not funny. You can live with a lot of nasty stuff, you know."
[22:57]	<Luize>	At least it means I still have a chance don't I?
[22:58]	* [Owen]Josh	doesn't respond to that. Maybe Yukiko's medicine IS in order.
[22:58]	<Luize>	Hehe...sor--*coughing*
[23:03]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Just take it easy, Luize. Stop talking; wait for Yuki."
[23:03]	* Luize	nods.
[23:03]	* [huh]Yukiko	arrives.
[23:04]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"This... should work."
[23:04]	* [huh]Yukiko	holds up a small folded packet and a glass of water.
[23:05]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Don't mix it with anything, and try not to eat for a couple hours after.
[23:06]	<Luize>	...alright.
[23:06]	* [huh]Yukiko	pours the packet into the water and mixes it.
[23:06]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"And don't mind the taste."
[23:06]	<Luize>	...been wor--se..
[23:07]	* Luize	looks at this mix Yukiko made..
[23:07]	* [huh]Yukiko	hands her the glass.
[23:08]	* [Owen]Josh	looks as well. Hmm... best not to question NINJA REMEDIES.
[23:08]	* Luize	takes a deep breath and irons her stomach.
[23:09]	* Luize	then drinks it, she winces.
[23:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...Better?"
[23:12]	<Luize>	...
[23:12]	* Luize	blinks a few times, moves her arms around...fakes a cough...nothing..
[23:12]	<Luize>	.....ok.. but... at least it tastes better than what Josh gave me..
[23:13]	* [Owen]Josh	frowns and rolls his eyes.
[23:13]	<[Owen]Josh>	"...s'cuse me, princess."
[23:14]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Now, don't move around too much, and stay out of troube."
[23:14]	<Luize>	....yes..
[23:14]	* Luize	looks downfallen and falls back to her cushy seat.
[23:15]	* [Owen]Josh	sits on his as well.
[23:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Something else still wrong, Luize?"
[23:17]	<Luize>	...a little...
[23:17]	* [Owen]Josh	frowns again.
[23:18]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Anything we can talk about...?"
[23:18]	<Luize>	...
[23:18]	* Luize	nods.
[23:19]	* [huh]Yukiko	sits back down on the bed.
[23:20]	<Luize>	...I... just can't help.. but... feel like Yukiko... doesn't want to be around me...
[23:20]	* [Owen]Josh	didn't, really... expect that.
[23:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...huh?"
[23:20]	* [Owen]Josh	looks at Yukiko, saying nothing.
[23:20]	* [huh]Yukiko	blinks.
[23:21]	<[Owen]Josh>	"O...kay, umm... I..."
[23:22]	* [Owen]Josh	doesn't really know what to say.
[23:23]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Really?"
[23:23]	<Luize>	...it's sort of this intuition I've had... I mean... look at my eyes.. not too many people have this kind of thing.
[23:25]	<Luize>	Well.. Yuki.. do you dislike me for whatever reason?
[23:25]	* [Owen]Josh	has no idea what the eyes have to do with it.
[23:25]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks at Josh.
[23:26]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Permission to speak my mind?"
[23:26]	* [Owen]Josh	hopes this isn't a mistake, and nods.
[23:26]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Go ahead..."
[23:27]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I... I can't say I entirely like you."
[23:27]	* Luize	smiles.. it seems sad though...
[23:27]	<Luize>	I suppose it was expected.. .hehe..
[23:28]	* [Owen]Josh	is concerned. If a house is divided... how can it stand?
[23:29]	<Luize>	...any..thing in particular you dislike about me then?
[23:31]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...You're much too familiar with Master Josh."
[23:31]	<Luize>	...ahh?
[23:31]	* Luize	tilts her head in confusion.
[23:32]	<[Owen]Josh>	"H-hey now, what's wrong with that?"
[23:32]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"It's unbecoming of ones in our position. I can't feel that she's taking her job seriously."
[23:33]	<Luize>	...oh.... I did take my job seriously..
[23:33]	<Luize>	I cleaned most of the pool myself late at night when you all went to sleep..
[23:35]	* [Owen]Josh	didn't actually know that. He's touched.
[23:35]	<Luize>	...I sorta fell in and scraped myself in all that much... hehe.. sorta explains how I got sick..
[23:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Is that so?"
[23:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You, didn't have to do that, Luize."
[23:36]	<Luize>	Hehe...it's really no problemm.. ow..
[23:37]	* Luize	accidently pulls a muscle on her arm...oooh.
[23:37]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"You should really be more careful, so things like this don't happen..."
[23:38]	<Luize>	Well.. you said I'm not taking my job seriously...
[23:38]	* Luize	psuedo frowns.
[23:39]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Taking it seriously means taking it smart, too."
[23:39]	<[Owen]Josh>	"We're all in this together, aren't we?"
[23:40]	<Luize>	Mhmm..
[23:40]	* Luize	nods.
[23:40]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"The Master is right. If you're sick, you can't work. Being careful about your health is another duty of being a maid."
[23:41]	* [Owen]Josh	massages his temple.
[23:41]	<Luize>	..Yuki.. that sort of contradicts about not taking my job seriously..
[23:41]	* [huh]Yukiko	taps Luize on the head.
[23:41]	<Luize>	ooh..
[23:41]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Yuki, gentle."
[23:42]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Taking it seriously does not mean killing yourself over it. If you don't know that difference, you're a failure as a servant."
[23:42]	<Luize>	....
[23:42]	* [Owen]Josh	frowns.
[23:42]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I said gentle, Yukiko."
[23:43]	<Luize>	It's fine... sir.
[23:43]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"So... don't do anything like this again, alright?"
[23:43]	* Luize	nods.
[23:43]	* [huh]Yukiko	crosses her arms.
[23:43]	<[Owen]Josh>	"It's not 'fine' if we're arguing about it, though."
[23:43]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Right?"
[23:43]	<Luize>	....I suppose so.
[23:44]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I'm just putting her straight. What if it was worse? Bad water can kill."
[23:44]	<Luize>	Those were bad water...
[23:44]	<Luize>	...smelled worse than his socks.
[23:44]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Are we still talking about the pool...?"
[23:45]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Nevermind that... Anyways, putting her straight might not put her straight if she doesn't understand, you know."
[23:45]	* [Owen]Josh	focuses on Luize.
[23:45]	<Luize>	... I understand completely.
[23:45]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Ehh?"
[23:45]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Do you now?"
[23:46]	* [Owen]Josh	doesn't understand completely.
[23:46]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Maybe you could explain to me then, Luize."
[23:47]	<Luize>	It depends on one's perception of taking their job seriously...
[23:47]	<Luize>	Yuki.. what do you consider taking the job seriously then?
[23:48]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Giving proper respect to the Master. Working efficiently and without complaint."
[23:49]	<Luize>	We're on the clock 24/7 Yuki. Master here can order me anything if he'd like...and its important to bond with the master on a familiar level so they can enjoy their presence without needing to worry about being so uptight and bounded.
[23:50]	* [Owen]Josh	interjects quickly with his trademark statement.
[23:50]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Not you're master! Just a guy!"
[23:50]	<Luize>	..if you like your master.. you would want to work better and harder for them...do you not?
[23:51]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I do like my master."
[23:52]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"And my point is, you've put yourself in a terrible situation. You cannot serve Josh like that. He even went and tended to your wounds!"
[23:53]	<Luize>	I suppose so...
[23:53]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Yuki, I did that because it's the NICE thing to do."
[23:53]	<Luize>	I respect Josh as a person Yuki.
[23:53]	<Luize>	Not as a master.
[23:54]	<Luize>	...we should be able to help each other without the bounds of social barriers.
[23:55]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Those barriers can't be pierced, Luize."
[23:56]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Wha? Why not?"
[23:56]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You're human. I'm human. Barrier broken, no?"
[23:57]	<Luize>	...
[23:57]	* Luize	giggles.
[23:57]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"At the end of the day, Josh, I am nothing but your servant. That can't be changed. It shouldn't be changed."
[23:58]	* [Owen]Josh	holds his hands up, miming strangling her neck.
[23:58]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Gah! You! You..."
[23:58]	<Luize>	...who's takin the job too seriously now Yuki?..
[23:59]	<[Owen]Josh>	"AMERICA!"
[23:59]	* [Owen]Josh	has no idea what that was supposed to mean.
[00:00]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You're, a, person, Yukiko! Are maids some kind of inferior species to lame college guys with goatees?!"
[00:01]	<[Owen]Josh>	"What's nothing but a servant supposed to mean? This is the twenty-first century!"
[00:01]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Eh?"
[00:01]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks taken aback.
[00:01]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I mean, gah, how to say it..."
[00:02]	<Luize>	Josh.
[00:02]	<Luize>	... let me say it....please?
[00:02]	* [Owen]Josh	looks at Luize, still holding up his hands for no reason.
[00:02]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Yeah. Kay."
[00:07]	<Luize>	Yuki... I think you might be taking this job more seriously than I would ever. Remember we are still human...
[00:08]	* [huh]Yukiko	nods.
[00:09]	<Luize>	I'm not trying to take it easy Yuki... but I am well aware of what I can do and what I can't do. We still have a job to do yes, but it doesn't mean we can't goof off and have fun once in a while and relax.
[00:10]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Certainly, I suppose it's fine..."
[00:10]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Stop supposing. It IS fine."
[00:11]	* Luize	nods.
[00:11]	<[Owen]Josh>	"If you never rest and play, then how do you define work?"
[00:12]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...huh?"
[00:12]	<Luize>	...you really don't know how to relax Yuki?...
[00:13]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I do relax."
[00:14]	<[Owen]Josh>	"No you don't."
[00:14]	<Luize>	...not in the sense me and him are talking about.
[00:14]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"What sense do you mean, then?"
[00:15]	<Luize>	...I tend to be bad at explaining things.. hehe.. so... Josh will.
[00:15]	* [Owen]Josh	smirks or something.
[00:15]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Thanks."
[00:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"It's like... when you stop working and don't think about work or what you act like when you work."
[00:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Like, there's Work-You, and there's Relax-You."
[00:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"You're still you, but... you don't have to be YOU-you."
[00:16]	<[Owen]Josh>	"That made no sense, did it?"
[00:17]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I... vaguely understand..."
[00:17]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Better explanation, then. What do you like?"
[00:17]	<Luize>	Oh better yet!
[00:17]	* Luize	is a bit more energetic than usual.
[00:18]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"like...?"
[00:18]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Like, what kind of like?"
[00:18]	* [Owen]Josh	can't believe this is so hard.
[00:19]	<[Owen]Josh>	"What are things you enjoy?"
[00:19]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Hobbies, music, games, foods... you have to like things, yeah?"
[00:19]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Everyone likes SOMETHING."
[00:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"..."
[00:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...Cats."
[00:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"And drawing. But I'm not good at it."
[00:20]	<Luize>	...Oh.. Josh.
[00:20]	* Luize	whispers to his ear.
[00:21]	* [Owen]Josh	leans over to Luize for just a little bit, but still focuses on Yukiko.
[00:21]	<[Owen]Josh>	"There you go. Cats, and drawing."
[00:22]	<[Owen]Josh>	"So, relaxing means doing things that you like."
[00:23]	<[Owen]Josh>	"If YOU would hypothetically be relaxing, Yukiko, that means you'd be drawing and playing with cats."
[00:23]	* [huh]Yukiko	nods.
[00:23]	<Luize>	{Is that ok with you Josh?}
[00:24]	* [Owen]Josh	nods back at Luize quickly. Her mystery proposition is approved!
[00:24]	* Luize	pulls out her phone and dials Uncle Joe's Number.
[00:25]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Do you sorta get it, Yukiko?"
[00:26]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Yes."
[00:26]	* [Owen]Josh	nods, relieved.
[00:26]	<[Owen]Josh>	"It's fine to relax. It helps you mind stay sharp. Use a tool too much and it breaks."
[00:27]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"If you don't grind a blade, though, it'll get dull."
[00:29]	<[Owen]Josh>	"That, little kunoichi, is a philosophy called 'balance'."
[00:30]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Work, and play. Purpose, and folly. The world needs both."
[00:30]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...I see."
[00:31]	* [Owen]Josh	raises an eyebrow.
[00:31]	<[Owen]Josh>	"DO you?"
[00:31]	<Luize>	"Uncle Joe~.. hiii~.. yes yes.. I'm.. *coughs lightly* ok.. but... I need to ask you a tiny favor ok?"
[00:31]	<Luize>	"Hehehe.. you know that thing you've been keeping for me?... Ooh?.. has he grown some?.. ok ok... uhm.. can you bring him tomorrow then?... eh~? Ok.. thank you~"
[00:31]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Yes."
[00:32]	<[Owen]Josh>	"I hope you do. Because when I tell you to relax, I want you to ACTUALLY relax."
[00:33]	<Luize>	"Bye bye.. love you uncle~"
[00:33]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Not just sitting on the ceiling and pretending to."
[00:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"It's not like I can't relax..."
[00:33]	<Luize>	Josh!~
[00:33]	* Luize	just thumbs up him. APPROVAL!
[00:34]	* [Owen]Josh	thumbs up at Luize back. OKAY!
[00:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"What was that?"
[00:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Nothing."
[00:35]	<Luize>	...Oh... that~
[00:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Prove it, Yuki. Show me relax. Right now."
[00:35]	* Luize	shuts up before she can say it.
[00:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...Okay."
[00:35]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Don't think about that thing that's a thing. Show me relax."
[00:35]	* Luize	looks and pays attention to Yukiko carefully.
[00:37]	* [huh]Yukiko	flops over, laying flat on the bed.
[00:38]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Mmm, that's a start."
[00:38]	<Luize>	...ooh..!
[00:38]	<Luize>	Josh...
[00:39]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Mmm?"
[00:41]	* Luize	whispers to josh about something like pouncing and hugging Yukiko.
[00:41]	* [Owen]Josh	whispers back, {That's not called relax}
[00:43]	* Luize	"Aww... I Just wanted to be playful and be myself..."
[00:44]	* [Owen]Josh	flops on the bed too, mouth somewhat muffled by a pillow.
[00:45]	<Luize>	...Yuki..~
[00:45]	* [Owen]Josh	does not flop onto Yuki as might have been suggested.
[00:47]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Hm?"
[00:48]	* Luize	flops her little body onto Yukiko in a cute cry.
[00:48]	<Luize>	Yahhh!~
[00:49]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Geh?"
[00:49]	* [Owen]Josh	winces.
[00:50]	* Luize	then cuddles herself onto Yukiko.
[00:50]	<Luize>	Hugs are always welcomed for relaxing!
[00:50]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Luize, gentle~"
[00:51]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"This is..."
[00:52]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks uncomfortable.
[00:52]	* [Owen]Josh	pushes Luize off of her.
[00:52]	<Luize>	aww...
[00:52]	<[Owen]Josh>	"Baby steps, Luize. If she needs to be less serious, YOU need to be more."
[00:52]	<Luize>	...yes sir...
[00:53]	<[Owen]Josh>	"How many times did I tell you? Josh."
[00:53]	* [Owen]Josh	is :T
[00:55]	<Luize>	...sorry Yuki..
[00:56]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"It's fine..."
[00:59]	<GMOwen>	And thus was a crisis averted.
[01:00]	<GMOwen>	And any lingering problems will be made better by KITTY~!
