[21:15]	<GMOwen>	Intro: Okay, see, now here�s this guy Josh. We don�t have to care about his last name right now. A 20 year-old Humanities student at Smalltown Liberal Arts College. This isn�t really a story about him, though, because he�s boring. No girlfriend, working on becoming a minister or something like that, piece of crap station wagon� At least he has a rich uncle. An uncle who was nice enough to take him out of the soulless hellhole that is the freshmen dorms and buy him his own house instead.
[21:15]	<GMOwen>	But this is not just an ordinary boring house; he�d like that, wouldn�t he? No, this is an abandoned sorority house, full of dust, dirt, and the dirty secrets of its former inhabitants! And just to many sure Josh the College Guy doesn�t get all lonely in those spacious rooms, his uncle has graciously provided him with� company.
[21:16]	<GMOwen>	Let's zoom in with the wide angle lens from up in the sky and get the pilot episode underway, shall we?
[21:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	gets out of his stupid station wagon and walks up to the door of the house.
[21:17]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I...think, this is the right place...?"
[21:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	unlocks the door with the key he conveniently had and walks inside.
[21:19]	<GMOwen>	College guy enters the spacious foyer. The second-floor balcony rests above him, and doors lead to many rooms we haven't seen yet. It's very quiet...and dusty.
[21:20]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Woah...lotsa space all up in this house. ECHO!"
[21:21]	<GMOwen>	His stupid voice echoes through the foyer, but not that much. What, you think this is a giant mansion?!
[21:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	walks up the stairs and investigates the upper floors. Lots of bedrooms, and lots more dust.
[21:23]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Mmm...lots of bedrooms to choose from. Wonder which one's mine...?"
[21:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	scopes out the rooms and visualizes where to put his stuff.
[21:25]	<GMOwen>	Meanwhile, back on the first floor, there is noise and maybe also movement! Josh is completely unaware of this fact!
[21:27]	* [kiri]Mirai	sets her luggage down.
[21:27]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Whew. This place needs some serious cleaning...
[21:28]	* [huh]Yukiko	hides in the shadows near the ceiling.
[21:28]	* [kiri]Mirai	looks around, and sees no one.
[21:29]	<[kiri]Mirai>	.........just a little bit is probably alright.
[21:29]	* Luize	coughs as she lands in front of the house..
[21:29]	<Luize>	.. This is the place...right?
[21:30]	* [huh]Yukiko	silently observes the newcomers.
[21:31]	* [kiri]Mirai	whips out the violin.
[21:32]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Never had a chance to play without disturbing the others for some time now...
[21:34]	* [kiri]Mirai	drags the baton over the Violin, making a terrible screeching sound.
[21:34]	<[kiri]Mirai>	.......ouch.
[21:35]	<GMOwen>	What an amazing bunch of maids! Won't Josh be so happy to meet them!
[21:35]	* [Owen]Joshua	hears a horrible sound from below!
[21:35]	* Luize	sighs.
[21:36]	<Luize>	.. will you stop with that horrible racket miss?
[21:36]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"What the...?"
[21:36]	* [kiri]Mirai	is startled! Someone is here!
[21:36]	* [kiri]Mirai	quickly hides the instrument.
[21:37]	* [Owen]Joshua	runs back down to the second-floor landing. Huh? Two girls in maid uniforms...?
[21:37]	* [kiri]Mirai	packs it back into her bag as quick as she can and just stands back up like nothing happened.
[21:37]	<[kiri]Mirai>	......?
[21:38]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hey! Wh-what are you girls doing down there?!"
[21:38]	* [Owen]Joshua	shouts, more in surprise than anger.
[21:39]	* [kiri]Mirai	gestures the other girl to speak.
[21:40]	* Luize	waves at the guy.
[21:40]	<Luize>	Hey.
[21:41]	* [Owen]Joshua	is completely confused.
[21:41]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...Hey? Who are you? Am I..."
[21:41]	* [Owen]Joshua	wonders, "Is this the right house...?"
[21:42]	<[huh]Yukiko>	That's what I should ask.
[21:42]	* [Owen]Joshua	hears a voice near him in the dusty shadows. What...?
[21:43]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hell...o?"
[21:43]	* [huh]Yukiko	drops down from the ceiling, grabbing Joshua from behind and putting a knife to his neck.
[21:43]	<[huh]Yukiko>	State your name.
[21:43]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Gack!"
[21:44]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"J-Joshua Jager!"
[21:44]	<Luize>	.. I was called by your.. uncle?
[21:44]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I am Yukiko. I've been sent to serve you.
[21:44]	* [huh]Yukiko	doesn't withdraw the knife.
[21:45]	* [kiri]Mirai	just looks around and waits for the situation to solve itself.
[21:46]	* Luize	sighs..
[21:47]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"The...what?"
[21:47]	* [Owen]Joshua	is sweating bullets...of sweat!
[21:48]	<Luize>	Miss.. will you put that knife to his throat down?... he's obviously of no threat to us..
[21:48]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Y-Yes, please. That'd be awesome."
[21:48]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...If you say it, I have no choice.
[21:49]	* [huh]Yukiko	steps back, slipping the knife into her outfit.
[21:49]	* [Owen]Joshua	rubs his throat.
[21:49]	* [kiri]Mirai	smiles. It's good that everything is alright in the end.
[21:50]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Okay, so wait, wait wait wait...My uncle sent you?"
[21:50]	<Luize>	..that's correct..
[21:50]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Indeed.
[21:50]	* [Owen]Joshua	points to each of the three maids.
[21:50]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"All THREE of you?"
[21:51]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Were there supposed to be more?
[21:51]	* Luize	shrugs.
[21:51]	<Luize>	Who knows..
[21:51]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"There were SUPPOSED to be none!"
[21:51]	<Luize>	Talk to your uncle.. I'm just following my orders.
[21:51]	* [Owen]Joshua	is completely baffled. What crap is Uncle Joe pulling this time?!
[21:51]	* [kiri]Mirai	walks over to Joshua and pats his shoulder.
[21:52]	<[kiri]Mirai>	It's fine.
[21:52]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks over at the girl, and gets a little red. Cute older girl standing next to him...gack...
[21:52]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Relax, okay?
[21:53]	* [kiri]Mirai	moves on to petting his head now.
[21:53]	<[kiri]Mirai>	We're here to help.
[21:53]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yes, just leave everything to us.
[21:54]	* Luize	walks in and up to where they are.
[21:55]	* [Owen]Joshua	tries to worm away from the girl, but...it's just slightly too cute to resist!
[21:56]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Well!
[21:56]	* [kiri]Mirai	claps her hand once.
[21:56]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Work, shall we?
[21:56]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"He-eh...oh?!"
[21:56]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Wait, work?"
[21:56]	<Luize>	..firstly.. I don't recall seeing you other two... I know of "him".. but not you two..
[21:56]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"All right, this is getting out of hand. Just a sec..."
[21:57]	* [Owen]Joshua	walks a few steps away and pulls out a cell phone.
[21:57]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Don't sweat it. Details can wait for later~
[21:57]	* [kiri]Mirai	then pats Luize's head.
[21:57]	* Luize	does nothing and lets her pat.. it feels good.. but...
[21:58]	<[huh]Yukiko>	So... you two were called as well?
[21:58]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks over the two.
[21:59]	* [kiri]Mirai	nods.
[21:59]	* Luize	smirks.. if only for a just a bit..
[22:00]	<Luize>	P-please.. stop that.
[22:00]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Then, I hope that we shall work well together.
[22:00]	* [kiri]Mirai	reaches over to yukiko's head, but still aware. Like how she's going to pet a dog she just met.
[22:00]	<[kiri]Mirai>	......can I?
[22:01]	<[huh]Yukiko>	...As a sign of my trust, I will allow it.
[22:01]	* [kiri]Mirai	hesitatingly pats yukiko's forehead. Feels nice~
[22:02]	* [Owen]Joshua	glances over at the three from his phone call.  What are they doing over there?
[22:02]	<Luize>	Well.. Luize Allisain Adlehyde.
[22:02]	<Luize>	Pleasure to meet you all..
[22:03]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Mirai Wordsworth.
[22:03]	* [kiri]Mirai	bows once.
[22:03]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yukiko. A similar pleasure.
[22:03]	* [huh]Yukiko	nods.
[22:03]	* [Owen]Joshua	rolls his eyes, but smiles. At least THEY'RE getting along...maybe?
[22:05]	<Luize>	So... Master.. Joshua.. what will you be doing while we.. clean this sad excuse for a house up?
[22:05]	* [Owen]Joshua	holds up a finger.
[22:05]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Phone."
[22:06]	<Luize>	Very well...
[22:08]	* [Owen]Joshua	goes back to the cellphone. It seems to be a heated talk.
[22:08]	* [kiri]Mirai	cleans the place where she stands, at least. Mostly accidentally due to her long pleated maid skirt.
[22:09]	* Luize	looks around...there's FILTH EVERYWHERE.. it begins to irritate her nerves...
[22:09]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"No, I found the house FINE Uncle-......Yes, they found the place fine too, apparently. Too well for me; they showed up out of nowhere!......What do you mean that's the idea?!"
[22:11]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Look, I can't deal with having people in the house AND having to fix the place up AND classes! I don't have the.........I can't ask them to help me, I don't even know them! Where'd you get these girls anyways? French maid uniforms? NINJA-French maid uniforms?! This house isn't supposed to be a brothel!"
[22:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	listens to a jabbing retort.
[22:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"No, Uncle Joe, I do NOT know for certain that it wasn't at one point a brothel."
[22:13]	<Luize>	...oh?
[22:13]	* Luize	is instantly picqued.
[22:13]	* [kiri]Mirai	is a little bit stung by that remark.
[22:15]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"........so, I can't tell them to leave?......I can't tell them to stay out of my way?.........I can't tell them to change the clothes?.........So you're telling me I have to......."
[22:15]	* [Owen]Joshua	sighs. There's a bemused smirk on his face, but it's a sigh.
[22:17]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Fine. I'll think of something. Every wish is their command, yeah yeah, I got it.........No, I won't tell your brother......Yeah, love you too......Yeah, bye."
[22:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	flips the phone shut. He'd throw it across the room, but that'd be stupid.
[22:18]	<Luize>	...quite a colorful conversation you're having Master..
[22:19]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"All right you three, back over here please!"
[22:19]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Hm?
[22:19]	* [Owen]Joshua	leans against the wall and rubs his temple. What a first day already...
[22:19]	* [kiri]Mirai	lines up.
[22:20]	* Luize	stands straight.
[22:20]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Okay, sooo... My uncle said you're here to... 'serve' me, I guess. Or wait on me, or something."
[22:21]	<[huh]Yukiko>	That is correct.
[22:21]	* Luize	nods.
[22:21]	<Luize>	Right.
[22:22]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"He also said something about you three being under his service, not mine, so I can't kick you out unless I've got a better reason than cooties or whatever."
[22:22]	<[huh]Yukiko>	That is also correct.
[22:22]	* [kiri]Mirai	just smiles.
[22:23]	<[kiri]Mirai>	You will like us soon enough.
[22:23]	* [Owen]Joshua	shrugs. "Good move, Uncle Joe" he says to himself. "Damn good move."
[22:24]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, ball's in my court now, I suppose."
[22:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	points to Maid #1.
[22:24]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Name?"
[22:27]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Mirai Wordsworth.
[22:27]	* [kiri]Mirai	bows once.
[22:28]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks her over. Nice girl, seems pretty normal. Eastern-looking face, maybe?
[22:28]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Age?"
[22:29]	<[kiri]Mirai>	22. 23 in the next three months.
[22:29]	* [Owen]Joshua	chuckles.
[22:29]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Wow, got me beat by two and a half."
[22:30]	* [kiri]Mirai	has that little "Hah, I win." smirk on her face. A bit subtle, but it's there.
[22:30]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Favorite...instrument?"
[22:30]	<[kiri]Mirai>	I study Violin.
[22:31]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oh? Nice. Tried it once, couldn't get the knack. Maybe we could start a band!"
[22:31]	* [Owen]Joshua	wouldn't mind that. He wonders if the other two play anything...?
[22:32]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, good to meet you, I guess."
[22:32]	* [Owen]Joshua	holds out his hand for a shake.
[22:33]	* [kiri]Mirai	just stands there smiling.
[22:33]	* [kiri]Mirai	even takes one step backwards.
[22:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	puts the hand back. Yeah, most probably Eastern.
[22:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	turns to number two.
[22:34]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Name, age?"
[22:34]	<Luize>	Luize, Age 14
[22:36]	<Luize>	Luize Allisain Aldehyde.. but.. just call me Luize.
[22:36]	* [Owen]Joshua	almost thinks about crouching down a bit...she's so short...and young!
[22:37]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Fourteen?! Isn't that a little, young?"
[22:37]	* Luize	sighs.
[22:38]	<Luize>	Seems... I'll have to convince you otherwise...
[22:38]	<Luize>	..hand me a cloth and a vase..
[22:38]	* [Owen]Joshua	folds his arms together.
[22:39]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"First, you're the servant. YOU hand yourself a cloth and a vase."
[22:39]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Second, this house is, like...abandoned? Why would it have a vase?"
[22:40]	* Luize	presents a vase and cloth in her hand in a matter of instant..
[22:40]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oooo...kay?"
[22:40]	<Luize>	..questions?
[22:40]	* [kiri]Mirai	looks around. It's dusty.
[22:40]	<GMOwen>	Wow! That vase was in the corner all along, probably! How did you not notice that?
[22:40]	* [kiri]Mirai	coughs a bit.
[22:41]	* [huh]Yukiko	eyes the vase.
[22:41]	<Luize>	..take a closer look at the vase..
[22:41]	* [Owen]Joshua	does so.
[22:42]	<Luize>	It's.. quite an old vase isn't it?...look how the sheen compares to the rest of this room..
[22:42]	* [Owen]Joshua	can't deny it. Despite its age and probable neglect, that vase is polished to a glistening shine.
[22:43]	<Luize>	I was called the Devil's Maid by your uncle.
[22:43]	* [Owen]Joshua	nods.
[22:43]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Cool."
[22:43]	<Luize>	...anything else you'd like to ask me?
[22:44]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Yeah. Where do babies come from?"
[22:44]	* [kiri]Mirai	giggles.
[22:44]	<Luize>	From the womb Joshua, conceived and gestation cycle of 9 months.
[22:45]	<Luize>	And judging from your stature.. you were a late child.. of about a week.
[22:46]	* [Owen]Joshua	rubs his chin. That's such total BS. Then again...wait, WAS he?
[22:47]	<Luize>	You can even ask your uncle too.
[22:47]	* [Owen]Joshua	doesn't feel like dealing with that right now.
[22:47]	* Luize	keeps a poker face.
[22:48]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hmm...right then. Well, at least you're smart for a middle-schooler. Not like the pricks in the schools these days. No offense."
[22:48]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Aaaand, favorite...what the heck, favorite cartoon character?"
[22:51]	* [Owen]Joshua	is really curious about this one. So many different tastes these days.
[22:51]	<Luize>	None taken.. and.. it's...
[22:51]	* [kiri]Mirai	pointing at herself.
[22:51]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Me too?
[22:51]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Meh, sure, why not."
[22:51]	* Luize	thinks about it for a bit..
[22:52]	* [huh]Yukiko	has gotten bored, her posture dramatically slackened.
[22:55]	<Luize>	Naota... from Gainax's FLCL.
[22:56]	* [Owen]Joshua	ponders that one. So she knows anime, does she?
[22:57]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hmm...understandable. Good show, no doubts there."
[22:57]	<Luize>	Did you know that the show was actually a satire representing Japan's failing youth?
[22:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"That, or a journey of sexual maturity. Depends on your mindset."
[22:59]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Mine's Alicia. From ARIA.
[22:59]	<[kiri]Mirai>	She does resemble me, in many ways.
[22:59]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks her over. Hmm...yeah, maybe.
[23:00]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Makes me wish I knew more about it, then. Might have to give it a watch."
[23:00]	<Luize>	It was a good slice of life show...wish I lived on Neo-Venizzia.
[23:00]	* [Owen]Joshua	turns to the ninja maid of doom!
[23:01]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"So, uumm... Name, age, and...favorite edged weapon...I guess?"
[23:03]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yukiko. Seventeen. And...
[23:03]	* [huh]Yukiko	ponders.
[23:03]	<[huh]Yukiko>	The wakizashi.
[23:05]	* [Owen]Joshua	knows that one. After all, the katana isn't the only Japanese sword ever made, you idiots!
[23:06]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Any particular reason over a kodachi?"
[23:10]	<[huh]Yukiko>	The kodachi stands alone, but the wakizashi merely complements. I am as the wakizashi to your daitou.
[23:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	takes that under consideration. Wow...deep.
[23:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...Huh...I see. Thanks, I suppose."
[23:13]	* [huh]Yukiko	nods.
[23:14]	* [Owen]Joshua	turns back to all three and thinks of what else to say. He can't stop noticing those silly uniforms.
[23:14]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Are you...uhh, all okay with those outfits? I mean, they're not exactly...that decent, you know."
[23:15]	<Luize>	...your uncle had a fetish...in more ways than one.. he asked me to keep it on.
[23:15]	* [kiri]Mirai	notice the glares, and decide to tease him a little.
[23:16]	<[kiri]Mirai>	....I think it's nice. In various ways.
[23:16]	* [kiri]Mirai	pull her skirt up, and leave it just a bit below her underwear. That should get some attention.
[23:16]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I don't mind it at all.
[23:18]	* [Owen]Joshua	was paying attention to Luize, and as his eyes drifted back...wait, what?! No, no no!
[23:19]	* [kiri]Mirai	put it down just before he can focus.
[23:19]	* [Owen]Joshua	tactfully turns away before that goes any further. He turns to...Yukiko, yeah, that's it!
[23:19]	* [kiri]Mirai	smiles.
[23:19]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, if you don't mind, then...I guess it'll just be an adjustment. That's what college is, after all."
[23:20]	<[kiri]Mirai>	It's as if you are a perverted cosplay master~
[23:20]	<Luize>	...oh.. I'm wearing garter belt today too...wanna see?
[23:21]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Please do not try to seduce the master.
[23:21]	* [Owen]Joshua	won't stand for that. He looks Mirai and Luize right in the eyes, not one inch lower.
[23:21]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"No. No.  No look, none of... I'm not trying to be a prude here, but I've got standards."
[23:21]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Just, not...gah, not now. I'm too stressed to deal with that now."
[23:21]	<[huh]Yukiko>	As he said, neither of you are anywhere near his level.
[23:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	glances at Yukiko.
[23:22]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hey, you stay out of this, who's the master here?"
[23:22]	<[huh]Yukiko>	That would be you.
[23:23]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Actually, no. I'm just me, Joshua Jager, 20, Humanities student. And you three, you're just you."
[23:23]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"You start calling me master and licking my feet, I WILL find a way to kick you out, k?"
[23:23]	* [kiri]Mirai	gives him another pat.
[23:23]	<[kiri]Mirai>	I understand. I'll stop.
[23:23]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I see.
[23:23]	* [Owen]Joshua	pats her back.
[23:24]	* [kiri]Mirai	let herself be patted. Feels good~
[23:24]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"It's not that, it's... Bah, I don't know."
[23:24]	* Luize	smirks.
[23:24]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Just take it easy.
[23:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	thinks about it. Uncle Joe, you old letch...
[23:25]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, I... guess, if you really WANT to..."
[23:26]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...he said I should live a little...in college, footloose and fancy free, and all that..."
[23:26]	* [Owen]Joshua	has no idea what he's getting himself into.
[23:27]	<Luize>	Think of it this way.
[23:27]	<Luize>	You're one of the few if not the only college student who gets to have three maids at his beck and call.
[23:29]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Please, don't hold back.
[23:29]	* [Owen]Joshua	chuckles halfheartedly.
[23:30]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Yeah...I guess I am at that...kinda wasted on me of all people but..."
[23:30]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Look, I'm...girls, I'm sorry for shouting. It's tough, you know? This is all pretty new for me."
[23:30]	* Luize	sighs.
[23:30]	<Luize>	If I took offense to that simple of a gesture then.. I'm clearly not suited to be a maid..
[23:31]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I guess I could use a little spice in my life, and Lord knows I won't give it to myself."
[23:31]	* [kiri]Mirai	just smiles.
[23:31]	* [Owen]Joshua	raises his voice.
[23:31]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"But I draw the line at the bedroom, you hear me?!"
[23:32]	* [Owen]Joshua	is flustered, but not really!
[23:32]	<[kiri]Mirai>	noted.
[23:32]	<[huh]Yukiko>	But, the bedroom's where you're most vulnerable.
[23:32]	<Luize>	And you know... the bedrooms' not the only place you can do that..
[23:32]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Now, if you would!
[23:32]	* [kiri]Mirai	claps her hand, once again.
[23:32]	<[kiri]Mirai>	Please find a place to sit back and relax. We're putting this house into shape.
[23:33]	<[kiri]Mirai>	This place won't clean itself!
[23:34]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, the dust can wait."
[23:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	thumbs over to the front door.
[23:34]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"You can help unload my junk from the station wagon if you really want to help."
[23:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yessir.
[23:35]	<[kiri]Mirai>	noted.
[23:35]	* [kiri]Mirai	nods.
[23:35]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"And don't think I won't put in my fair share too, by the way!"
[23:36]	* Luize	bows
[23:38]	<Luize>	Very well.. lets go then...
[23:38]	* [huh]Yukiko	runs as the wind over a moonlit lake to take in the luggage.
[23:39]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Wow...little ones sure are hopped up on sugar these days."
[23:39]	* Luize	only manages to carry one large case back up... she begins to heave a little.
[23:40]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Just set it at the base of the staircase; I don't even know where this is going yet."
[23:40]	* [Owen]Joshua	tries to direct traffic so the girls don't screw up his stuff.
[23:40]	* Luize	lumps it where he wanted it.
[23:41]	<GMOwen>	[And then they unloaded the car and did other things that aren't as exciting as the things they just did! End of episode, roll credits and remixed theme song!]


@@Session #2 - "The Show In Which The Characters Are Tired From Cleaning And Take A Car Ride"
@@(5:00 PM, Febtober 12th, 2010)
...
[21:45]	<GMOwen>	Intro: Last episode was an important episode! But recaps before shows takes too much time, so we won't talk about it.
[21:46]	<GMOwen>	Our heroes (and also Josh) spent the rest of the morning unpacking and dusting most of the rooms. Turns out Uncle Joe actually bought a lot of furniture and things for the house, except they're just sitting around in boxes and sheets rather than set up. Lazy bum. Anyways, now it's getting close to dinnertime and the cleaning is starting to wind down. Everyone is tired and dusty.
[21:46]	* [Owen]Joshua	sits down on a folding chair by the poolside, exhausted.
[21:47]	* Mirai	hops once. The dust puffs out from her uniform.
[21:47]	* <Mirai>	*coughs!*
[21:48]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Why... Why does this place have an indoor pool?"
[21:49]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I mean, is that even practical?"
[21:49]	<Mirai>	There is?
[21:49]	* Mirai	follow Joshie's voice.
[21:49]	<Mirai>	"Oh my. There really is."
[21:50]	* Luize	sighs as she finish making things look nice elsewhere..
[21:50]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Well, if you wanted to swim during the cold winter months..."
[21:50]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"That's not the point, though. This is just a HOUSE. Not a hotel."
[21:51]	<Mirai>	I think... It's better off being a swamp. Look how green it is.
[21:51]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I think you understate your position, MASTER."
[21:52]	* [Owen]Joshua	deadpans.
[21:52]	* Mirai	ufufu.
[21:52]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Don't call me that. I'ma cut you, bitch."
[21:52]	* [Owen]Joshua	mimes having a knife.
[21:53]	<Mirai>	Ooh~ Threatening~
[21:53]	<Mirai>	So what do you prefer? "Boss"?, "The man"?, "Don"?, "overlord"?
[21:53]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"So how far did you girls get on the dusting?"
[21:55]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Dusting? Oh, uh, about that..."
[21:55]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks a little uncomfortable.
[21:56]	* [Owen]Joshua	sighs.
[21:56]	<Mirai>	I've done all I could.
[21:56]	* Mirai	shrugs.
[21:56]	<Mirai>	But, hey. It's still liveable.
[21:56]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Did you at least get your bedroom done?"
[21:56]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"... ... ...I tried..."
[21:57]	* [huh]Yukiko	avoids eye contact.
[21:57]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...I suppose it's better than nothing."
[21:58]	<Luize>	..I've done what I can... Master Josh.
[21:58]	* Luize	is a bit dirty but.. still.. quiet calm and composed about it.
[21:58]	* Mirai	make a small gesture of "shhhh."
[21:59]	<Mirai>	Just call him Josh-san.
[21:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Ugh, no, please, not that."
[21:59]	* [Owen]Joshua	makes a face.
[21:59]	<Luize>	...right...I'm..sorry, force of habit.
[21:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"This is NOT Nipponland."
[21:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Not even close."
[21:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Despite this girl over here."
[21:59]	* [Owen]Joshua	thumbs at Yukiko.
[22:00]	<Mirai>	Well, I guess.
[22:00]	<Mirai>	So I'll just call you Joshie, Josh, Joshjosh, or just Jo.
[22:00]	<Mirai>	Is that okay with you?
[22:00]	* Mirai	just smiles.
[22:00]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Hm?
[22:00]	* Luize	sighs.
[22:00]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"My old friends called me J. J. a long time ago, I guess.  But that was back in middle school."
[22:01]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Whatever, I really don't care. No Master, though, 'kay?"
[22:01]	<Mirai>	Gotcha.
[22:01]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"No master?"
[22:01]	* [Owen]Joshua	checks his wrist. Wow, it's Wrist O' Clock!
[22:01]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Ummm...does anyone have the time? I don't have a watch anymore."
[22:01]	<Mirai>	A sec, please.
[22:02]	* Mirai	put the finger in her mouth, and raise it up the sky.
[22:02]	<Mirai>	..................................
[22:03]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I'm sure there's no wind direction inside, Mirai."
[22:03]	<Mirai>	Five-oh.
[22:03]	* Mirai	put her hands behind her back, smiling.
[22:03]	<Mirai>	The time is five-oh.
[22:03]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Five oh-what?"
[22:04]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"..."
[22:04]	<Luize>	I'd assume 5pm sir.
[22:04]	<Mirai>	Ah, sorry. It's my way of saying five o'clock.
[22:04]	* [Owen]Joshua	nods. Saves syllables.
[22:04]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Sounds about right."
[22:04]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"You can't... is there a clock in this house?"
[22:04]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Maybe, but I don't know which box it's in."
[22:05]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Uncle Joe really gave us a mixed blessing with all these furnishings, I guess."
[22:05]	* [Owen]Joshua	shrugs.
[22:06]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Judging from the sun... she can't be too far off anyway. It's as good as any other time."
[22:06]	* [huh]Yukiko	sighs.
[22:06]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Meh, can't complain."
[22:06]	<Mirai>	Hey, my time is accurate!
[22:06]	* Mirai	pouts a little.
[22:06]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I'm sure."
[22:06]	<Luize>	Hey.. you know.. if we lack one.. we could just buy another.. not that big of a deal.
[22:06]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"True, true."
[22:07]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"It's not like I've got anywhere to be tonight anyways."
[22:07]	<Luize>	I swear... I can understand how you feel.. sir.. hope you don't mind me calling you that.
[22:07]	* [Owen]Joshua	sighs and shakes his head.
[22:08]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Josh. Just, make it Josh. We'll start there."
[22:08]	<Mirai>	You guys are too uptight~
[22:08]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hey, don't look at me, I'm the one who doesn't like the formality!"
[22:08]	<Mirai>	Anyway, it's five already.
[22:08]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"We established that."
[22:10]	<Mirai>	Well, I'll be in the kitchen. Call me if anything happens~
[22:10]	* Mirai	gives everyone a small wave and heads off to the kitchen, humming music.
[22:11]	<GMOwen>	Mirai enters the kitchen and finds a depressing lack of edible things in the shelves!  Gasp, the horrors!
[22:12]	<Mirai>	Aw, bugger.
[22:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks at the other two.
[22:12]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Sooo... Do we even worry about this pool, girls?"
[22:12]	<Luize>	...I'd say.. right now.. that's the least of our worries..we're not even fully situated yet.
[22:13]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"The pool will come in time."
[22:13]	* Mirai	comes back. Smiling like she usually is.
[22:14]	<Mirai>	I'm going to shop for some groceries.
[22:15]	* [Owen]Joshua	glances at Mirai.
[22:15]	<Luize>	Mirai..
[22:15]	<Mirai>	Hyun?
[22:15]	* Mirai	cocks her head to the side.
[22:15]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Just you? I mean, I was planning on going tonight too."
[22:15]	<Luize>	..do you even have the funds to go shopping?... because I don't have it.
[22:15]	<Mirai>	It's alright, Joshie. your job is to make yourself comfortable.
[22:15]	<Mirai>	And let the girl do the works.
[22:15]	* Mirai	giggles.
[22:16]	* [Owen]Joshua	sighs.
[22:16]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Mirai is right."
[22:16]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"The girl doesn't have the car, though."
[22:16]	<Mirai>	Oh my. That is true.
[22:16]	<Mirai>	I'm troubled now... will there be any knights in shining armor to the rescue?
[22:17]	* Mirai	spins like a damsel in distress.
[22:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	thumbs to Yukiko.
[22:17]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"She's got chainmail. She's fine."
[22:17]	<Mirai>	She's more like a samurai, though.
[22:17]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I'm a ninja..."
[22:17]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"But anyways, I thought... dunno, we could go out to eat together or something... then go shopping maybe...?"
[22:17]	<Luize>	With that said, lets all go together then..
[22:18]	<Mirai>	Okay. Take my hand, Luize.
[22:18]	<Mirai>	You're half blind, right?
[22:19]	<Luize>	...you trust a small girl like me?.. are you sure of that?
[22:19]	* Luize	speaks with some semblance of contempt.
[22:19]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Half-blind...?"
[22:19]	<Mirai>	I mean, I'll guide you around.
[22:20]	<Mirai>	Yeah. half blind. Just look at her eyes.
[22:20]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks at Luize's eyes. Hey, they're not bli--wah, multicolored eyes?
[22:20]	<Mirai>	It's obviously something genetically deformed.
[22:20]	<Luize>	... I'm... I'm not half-blind..
[22:21]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Ummm...okay. That's cool."
[22:21]	* [Owen]Joshua	isn't too concerned. They're vaguely the same color, anyways.  Red and amber.
[22:21]	<Mirai>	Oh my! You're full blind?!
[22:22]	* Luize	chucks her small cross, aiming right for Mirai.
[22:24]	<Luize>	...I'm still blind....right?
[22:24]	* Mirai	jumps to the side like a movie star, and dives into a pile of undeployed rugs.
[22:24]	* [huh]Yukiko	catches the cross cleanly out of the air.
[22:24]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Please do not throw dangerous things in the house."
[22:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	watches with amusement.
[22:24]	<Mirai>	Wha--! That's dangerous!
[22:24]	* Luize	looks at where she threw it.... its... in Yukiko's hand..
[22:24]	<Mirai>	Now I really need to change!
[22:25]	<Luize>	...doubt me again Mirai and I'll make sure your "blind" with me.
[22:25]	* Mirai	coughs. There really is a bucketload of dust on her now.
[22:25]	* [Owen]Joshua	helps Mirai up.
[22:25]	<Mirai>	Th-thanks...
[22:25]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"No problem. Who puts rugs here, anyways...?"
[22:25]	* Mirai	points at Luize. Seriously offended.
[22:25]	<Mirai>	You return my sincerity with this?! I'll remember that!
[22:26]	<Mirai>	Hmph! I really will!
[22:26]	* Luize	sighs at Mirai and then looks at Yukiko for her cross back.
[22:26]	* [huh]Yukiko	hands her the cross.
[22:26]	* Mirai	turns her back at Luize. That was totally uncalled for!
[22:26]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hey, hey, no sad faces now, girls."
[22:27]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I won't have you being mad at each other; then nothing'll get done around here."
[22:27]	* <Mirai>	is still obviously pissy.
[22:27]	<Luize>	I'm.. not mad.. if I was... you would know.
[22:27]	<Mirai>	Okaaaaaay.
[22:27]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks at Mirai's uniform. Horribly dusty, yuck.
[22:28]	* [Owen]Joshua	tries to brush off some of the dust.
[22:28]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"The ma- ah, Joshua is right."
[22:28]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Before our duty, our squabbles are nothing."
[22:28]	<Mirai>	I'll get changed. be right back, everyone.
[22:29]	<Mirai>	We're going to eat outside, right?
[22:29]	<Luize>	Yes, we are.
[22:29]	<Mirai>	Mm.
[22:30]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Do you even HAVE extra clothes...?"
[22:30]	* Mirai	goes to the second floor to the room she (unofficially) declared her own.  There's the sound of a door opening and shutting.
[22:32]	* [Owen]Joshua	asks the question to the other two.
[22:32]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"That's a good question, though. DO you?"
[22:33]	<Luize>	..of course.
[22:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I have a couple sets, but they're all identical to this one."
[22:33]	<Luize>	I still have something resembling normal clothes outside my uniform.
[22:34]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"That's wrong, though. The uniform is a symbol of status."
[22:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	rubs his goatee'd chin.
[22:34]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"HOW normal?"
[22:34]	* Mirai	comes back down in no time.
[22:34]	<Mirai>	I'm good to go.
[22:34]	<Luize>	Dresses, casual wears, that kind of garments.
[22:36]	<Mirai>	But we're only allow to wear this.
[22:36]	<Mirai>	I think it's nice, though~
[22:36]	* Mirai	spins and lets it flutter~
[22:36]	<GMOwen>	[We'll forget Luize said that, I suppose]
[22:37]	<GMOwen>	[We'll forget I told you to forget that.]
[22:37]	<Luize>	[VETO'd BITCH]
[22:37]	<GMOwen>	[Oh what a fool I am!]
[22:37]	<Mirai>	[Whatever! let's go out already!]
[22:37]	<Luize>	..chosen by your uncle though, so.. they're not...normal in that sense.
[22:37]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Aaaaahhh, yeah. I understand."
[22:38]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Anyways, we're wasting time.  I need some food."
[22:38]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Come on, get in the car..."
[22:38]	* [Owen]Joshua	walks out of the house and gets in the driver's seat.
[22:38]	* Luize	follows gets in the back.
[22:39]	* Mirai	gets in the front.
[22:39]	<Mirai>	Sadly, I cannot drive.
[22:39]	<Mirai>	I can, but the result tends to be destructive.
[22:39]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Yeah, we don't want that."
[22:42]	* [Owen]Joshua	adjusts the rear-view mirror like a responsible person who actually does that.
[22:42]	* [huh]Yukiko	is already sitting in the front, and gives Mirai a quizzical glance when she opens the door.
[22:42]	* [Owen]Joshua	didn't really notice that.
[22:42]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Wait... what?"
[22:42]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"When did you get in the car?"
[22:43]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"I got in first, of course."
[22:43]	* [huh]Yukiko	speaks as though this was obvious.
[22:43]	<Mirai>	Oh my.
[22:43]	<Mirai>	But I'll get carsick if I'm not in front.
[22:43]	<Mirai>	Like blargle and such.
[22:44]	* Mirai	actually just wants to sit up front.
[22:44]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Ooooo...kay."
[22:45]	* Luize	thought she heard some bullshit and sneezed.
[22:46]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Yuki, do you mind?"
[22:46]	<Luize>	S-sorry...seems we'll have to clean this car later too..
[22:46]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"This car's a piece of crap anyways. It should be burned to the ground."
[22:46]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Don't worry about it."
[22:48]	<Mirai>	So do I get to sit up front?
[22:48]	* Mirai	is actually wagging her imaginary tail.
[22:49]	* Luize	wonders if we are ever going to leave the driveway.
[22:50]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"If she gives a valid reason, sure. I don't think she really gets carsick at all."
[22:50]	* [huh]Yukiko	gives Mirai a sharp look.
[22:51]	* [Owen]Joshua	isn't getting triangulated into this girly mess. Though Mirai does look rather cute like that... It'd be hard to say no to that face.
[22:51]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Just get in, or you'll ride on the hood."
[22:52]	<Mirai>	aww...
[22:52]	* Mirai	obediently gets in the back.
[22:52]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"It's not like you're losing out on anything, it's just the front."
[22:52]	* Luize	rolls down the window and looks outside.
[22:52]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Can you tilt your head, Mirai? I need to back out of the drive."
[22:52]	<Mirai>	Ah, sure.
[22:52]	* Mirai	tilts.
[22:53]	* [Owen]Joshua	backs.
[22:53]	<GMOwen>	And you're on the road again! You can't wait to get on the road again...I forgot the rest of this song again...
[22:54]	* [Owen]Joshua	wishes this car had cruise control.
[22:56]	* Mirai	suddenly starts singing.
[22:56]	<Mirai>	"Baby, don't hurt me~"
[22:56]	<Mirai>	"No more~"
[22:57]	* Mirai	nods head. dadun dadun da~
[22:57]	* [huh]Yukiko	cradles her forehead in her hand, shaking it slightly.
[22:57]	* [Owen]Joshua	should care about there being too many people in the care, but he doesn't.  Head-bobbing follows.
[22:58]	<Luize>	Say, where are we heading to first?
[22:58]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I'm thinking foodstuffs first. You girls got a place you want?"
[22:59]	<Mirai>	Romani's pasta? I feel italian today.
[22:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"One vote for Italian. Yuki?"
[23:00]	<Luize>	.. I prefer Olivia's Garden.
[23:00]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"One vote for also Italian. Yuki?"
[23:01]	* [Owen]Joshua	flicks Yukiko on the shoulder.
[23:01]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Ah-
[23:01]	* [huh]Yukiko	had been staring out the window.
[23:01]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Wake up. We stopped caring about what love is, you can come in now."
[23:02]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...What was the question?"
[23:02]	* [Owen]Joshua	sighs.
[23:02]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"What is love?"
[23:02]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"... no, the other one."
[23:02]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oh, where do you want to eat?"
[23:03]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"...Sushi."
[23:04]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Gah, making me make decisions between pretty girls, thanks a lot."
[23:04]	* [Owen]Joshua	rolls his eyes in an obvious manner.
[23:04]	<Mirai>	It's still two against one~
[23:05]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Does anyone know if they have sushi at Olivia's or Romani's?"
[23:05]	<Mirai>	There is a fish macaroni. We can ask them to make it raw.
[23:05]	<Mirai>	...I guess?
[23:05]	* [Owen]Joshua	runs a yellow light. It was definitely NOT a red light! Honest!
[23:05]	* Luize	keeps quiet about it..
[23:06]	* Mirai	smiles.
[23:06]	<Luize>	hmmm.. just as irresponsible as he is huh..
[23:06]	<Mirai>	I heard a joke from my friend a while back.
[23:06]	<Mirai>	Green light is go.
[23:06]	<Mirai>	yellow light is still go if you dare.
[23:06]	<Mirai>	red light is go when no one's looking.
[23:06]	* [Owen]Joshua	justifies himself poorly.
[23:06]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"It was YELLOW!"
[23:06]	<Mirai>	so you are a daredevil, eh?
[23:07]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Only when you three are in the car."
[23:07]	* [Owen]Joshua	winks.
[23:07]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"... to make it easier, I don't really care. Either is fine."
[23:07]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I'm calling it for Olivia's, then. They have neverending biscuit rolls."
[23:07]	<Mirai>	Oh ho~
[23:08]	* [Owen]Joshua	remembers something.
[23:08]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oh, umm... You know, you're still dressed like... umm..."
[23:09]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Like maids? Well, we are maids, after all."
[23:09]	<Mirai>	It's totally fine!
[23:09]	* [Owen]Joshua	grumbles, "For YOU, maybe..."
[23:09]	<Mirai>	You can stick your chest out and say to the world that "hey, I'm a richie boy with my private all-girl servants!"
[23:10]	<Mirai>	Isn't that great, Joshie?
[23:10]	* Mirai	ruffles~
[23:10]	* [Owen]Joshua	faceplants onto the horn after said ruffle. Hoooooonk.
[23:10]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...We're going to draw a crowd, you know."
[23:10]	* Luize	laughs..a first for her thus far.
[23:11]	<Mirai>	That's fine too. You should get used to it!
[23:11]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I'm not TRYING to, though."
[23:11]	* [Owen]Joshua	grits his teeth.
[23:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"If the crowd discomforts you, I can deal with them."
[23:13]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks at Yukiko. She's definitely serious behind that stupid blue hair of hers. Anime, grumble grumble...
[23:13]	* [Owen]Joshua	smiles.
[23:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"On your head be it, then. I'll do my best."
[23:14]	* [huh]Yukiko	has an almost undetectable blush.
[23:14]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"That's as much as I can ask."
[23:16]	<GMOwen>	[Whoosh! Cutaway to the restaurant! Yay!]
[23:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	parks somewhat far away so his car doesn't pollute the nicer ones with its aura of fail.
[23:17]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well...here we are."
[23:18]	<GMOwen>	[As the girls exit the vehicles, curious stares are being garnered from the other passersby in the parking lot, but moreso from the windows of Olivia's Garden.]
[23:20]	* Luize	walks out.. she's getting more glares than usual.
[23:20]	* Mirai	walks out with elegance of a refined maiden, attracting crowds.
[23:21]	* [Owen]Joshua	stays in the car momentarily. Stay calm, stay calm, stay calm...
[23:21]	* [huh]Yukiko	steps out as well. Any overt stares are met with a look back that clearly tells them to mind their own damned business.
[23:22]	* Luize	simply ignores the stares and opens up the drivers door.
[23:22]	<Luize>	..are you coming?
[23:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	finally gets out.
[23:23]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"If you three could, walk in front... That'd be nice."
[23:23]	* [Owen]Joshua	has no idea why he said that.
[23:23]	<Luize>	...you know...would it not be weird if a small child is guiding this man...?
[23:24]	<[huh]Yukiko>	"Of course, Joshua."
[23:27]	<Mirai>	Why, might I ask?
[23:27]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Just... 'cause."
[23:28]	* [Owen]Joshua	thinks maybe if he's further back he won't look like the leader of this unorthodox pack.
[23:28]	* Luize	sighs.
[23:28]	<Luize>	Very well..
[23:30]	<Mirai>	if that is your wish.
[23:30]	* Mirai	take the lead, drawing attention.
[23:30]	* Luize	draws more attention being young and a maid at this time and age.
[23:31]	* [huh]Yukiko	falls in step with Mirai, telling the attention to get on with its business.
[23:32]	* [Owen]Joshua	slumphs in the back, hands stuffed in pockets. Maybe he could pretend his sisters are dragging him here as a favor...
[23:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	buttons his top button and tucks in his shirt. Not that he's anything compared to HNNNGG FRENCH MAIDS! But yeah.
[23:35]	* Luize	opens the door and greets the hostess.. she chooses this waitress for some odd reason..
[23:37]	<GMOwen>	What will happen?  The suspense is almost too much to take! But cliffhanger endings are the best! Tune in next Someday for more "comedy" and "action" and even "romance"!
[23:39]	<Mirai>	"AAAAND CUT!"
[23:39]	<Mirai>	[director] "Good work everyone! We'll begin next take later!"
[23:40]	=-=	Mirai is now known as Kiri
[23:40]	=-=	[huh]Yukiko is now known as huh
[23:41]	=-=	YOU are now known as UNOwen
[23:41]	=-=	Luize is now known as Maryn
[23:41]	<Kiri>	Whew. That was tiring.
[23:41]	<Kiri>	Are we done for today, director?
[23:41]	<GMOwen>	Yeah, that's enough for today.
[23:42]	<GMOwen>	Cold cuts in the break room.
[23:42]	<Kiri>	Then I'll be off."
[23:42]	* Kiri	waves.

@@Session #3 - "The Show In Which There Is Dinner At A Restaurant And Also Hijinks"
@@(5:30 PM, Febtober 12th, 2010)
...
[21:11]	<GMOwen>	Intro: After much lameness and shallow drama, Josh and his would-be harem have entered into Olivia�s Garden, Italian restaurant chain extraordinaire. Compared to the completely dumbstruck faces of the employees, Joshua�s embarrassed shuffling is actually not that bad.
[21:11]	<GMOwen>	One of the waitresses manages to direct the party of four to a window table and briskly walks away to draw straws for which waitress has to serve these people. The other patrons attempt to steal unnoticed glances and can only speculate wildly as to what that young man is doing with such young girls�
[21:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	's face is getting a little red.
[21:13]	* Luize	only smirks as she takes her seat...
[21:13]	* Mirai	's face is completely fine. She walks to the seat and take the one near the window! now everyone can see how extravagant Josh's life is!
[21:13]	* [huh]Yukiko	sits silently, staring out the window.
[21:14]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks at the people looking at them. They attempt to look somewhere else.
[21:15]	<Luize>	The attention.. is.. sort of unnerving.. but...
[21:16]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...hate being the center of attention..."
[21:16]	* [huh]Yukiko	puts a hand inside her dress, clasping an unseen weapon.
[21:16]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Should I take care of them for you, Joshua?
[21:17]	* Luize	catches eye of what Yukiko's doing.
[21:17]	<Luize>	.. I would not do such a brash thing here..
[21:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	notices her concealed hand, and bites his lip.
[21:17]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"No, really... No, that'd make it worse. I'm fine, I'm fine... I can do this."
[21:18]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Don't... Don't worry about me. I'm just lame like that."
[21:18]	* Mirai	's just being happy like she usually is.
[21:18]	<[huh]Yukiko>	If you say so...
[21:19]	* [Owen]Joshua	gives Yukiko a weak smile.
[21:19]	<[huh]Yukiko>	But I'm sure if I just kill one they'll all go back to their own business.
[21:19]	<Luize>	... no.. they would panic.
[21:19]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I think we'd get a bit more business than we'd like, Yuki."
[21:19]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Thanks for the thought, though. Good to you got my back."
[21:19]	* [huh]Yukiko	nods.
[21:20]	<[huh]Yukiko>	You're more knowledgeable in the affairs of these lands than I.
[21:20]	* [Owen]Joshua	chuckles.
[21:20]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Which doesn't say much, I'm afraid."
[21:22]	<Mirai>	and?
[21:22]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"And...?"
[21:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	doesn't get it.
[21:22]	<Mirai>	We're in restaurant. What do we do in restaurant?
[21:22]	<Mirai>	we order food.
[21:22]	<Mirai>	yes?
[21:22]	* Mirai	smiles.
[21:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	shrugs.
[21:22]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"More or less."
[21:23]	<GMOwen>	A waitress takes a deep breath and approaches the table, putting on the best customer service face she can muster. She's cheerful enough to look at; a nice white collared shirt and short red hair, though lechers would note her prevalent lack of large breasts.
[21:23]	* [GM]Tiffany	smiles as she hands out menus to the table.
[21:23]	* Mirai	smiles back as she takes the menu.
[21:24]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"Hello, welcome to Olivia's Garden! My name is Tiffany, I'll be your waitress tonight; Can I start you off with anything to drink?"
[21:25]	* [Owen]Joshua	rubs his chin and glances at Mirai. He wonders if she'll go for alcohol or not...
[21:25]	<Luize>	Yes, I would like Raspberry Lemonade.
[21:27]	* [huh]Yukiko	stares at the menu.
[21:28]	* [huh]Yukiko	whispers to Luize.
[21:28]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Uh... what's the menu say for drinks?
[21:28]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks at the menu himself. Blast; Pepsi products.
[21:30]	<Luize>	It says... Raspberry Lemonade, some Wine, Pepsi, Sierra Mist...
[21:30]	* Luize	continues on even with the wine part.. she talks about how each compliments each meal and such.
[21:30]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Sierra Mist.
[21:31]	* [GM]Tiffany	turns to Mirai.
[21:31]	<Mirai>	I'll take Perrier Vittel. I think you have one?
[21:33]	* Luize	whispers to Josh..
[21:33]	<Luize>	Lets.... not keep this waitress waiting.... she seems.. ill-mannered.
[21:33]	* [GM]Tiffany	turns to Josh, her look of customer service faltering a little.
[21:34]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"And, umm, yes, for you sir?"
[21:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	nods to Luize just enough to let her know he got the message.
[21:35]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Ahh, just milk is fine, thanks."
[21:35]	* [GM]Tiffany	finishes scribbling down the orders on her notepad.
[21:35]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"All right, I'll be back with those in just a minute!"
[21:36]	* [GM]Tiffany	doesn't waste any time in gracefully getting out of there. She's not the best under pressure, but seems there's a bet going on to see how good she'll do with these... people.
[21:36]	<Mirai>	Ufufu~
[21:37]	<Mirai>	my my, she sure is lively.
[21:37]	<Luize>	.. I hate her already and its only been 5 minutes..
[21:38]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"She looks like I feel right about now..."
[21:38]	* [Owen]Joshua	looks back at the retreating waitress. Poor girl.
[21:39]	<Mirai>	You hate people by conversing with them only 5 minutes? I start to wonder who's the ill-mannered one, now.
[21:39]	* [Owen]Joshua	thumbs through the menu silently. Hmm, what looks good...?
[21:40]	* Mirai	already has her order in mind.
[21:40]	* Luize	points back to the kitchen crew with her thumb.
[21:40]	<Luize>	Look.. they're laughing so hard right now.
[21:41]	<Mirai>	Look on the bright side. Maybe you're just paranoid?
[21:43]	<Luize>	..right...
[21:43]	* Luize	sighs.
[21:43]	<[huh]Yukiko>	You want me to take care of them now?
[21:43]	<Luize>	...no.
[21:44]	* Luize	flatly says it.
[21:44]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Fiiiine...
[21:44]	<Mirai>	Take it easy, everyone. We're not being interrogated.
[21:44]	* [huh]Yukiko	goes back to looking out the window.
[21:44]	* Mirai	scolds them.
[21:45]	<GMOwen>	Yukiko: You notice that most of the patrons of the restaurant have decided to more or less give your party a wide berth and try to ignore your suspicious garb. There's a man over in the corner who's definitely got his eye on the table, though.
[21:46]	* [Owen]Joshua	just decides on a good classic: Neverending Pasta and Neverending Biscuit Rolls.
[21:46]	* [huh]Yukiko	keeps her eye on that man, while acting nonchalant.
[21:47]	* Mirai	thinks about her pasta. Yum!
[21:47]	* Luize	gets her usual, "Steak Gorgonzola-Alfredo" and requests her side to be the Toscana Zuppe.
[21:49]	* [GM]Tiffany	returns with a tray of drinks on one arm and passes them out.
[21:50]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"Here's your drinks. Are you all ready to order, or should I give you another couple of minutes?"
[21:50]	<Luize>	..I'm ready.
[21:50]	<Mirai>	I'm good to go.
[21:50]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I'm ready. Yuki?"
[21:50]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I'm ready.
[21:50]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"All right then. Sir, what will you be having?"
[21:51]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"The Neverending Pasta and Neverending Buscuit Rolls, please. I'll start with Fettuccine Alfredo."
[21:51]	* [GM]Tiffany	jots it down, scribbles something out, and jots something down again.
[21:52]	<Luize>	And I'll get... The Steak Gorgonzola Alredo, Rare, and my side Toscana Soup please.
[21:52]	<Mirai>	Chicken Parmagina, please.
[21:53]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I'll have what he's having.
[21:53]	* [huh]Yukiko	jabs a fonger toward Josh.
[21:53]	* [GM]Tiffany	is rather glad she didn't have to look at these huss-these girls!-and instead focuses on the orders.
[21:55]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"What kind of cheese would you like with that Chicken Parmagina, miss?"
[21:57]	<Mirai>	Well, Parmesan then.
[21:58]	* [GM]Tiffany	nods.
[21:58]	* [GM]Tiffany	takes back the menus.
[21:58]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"All right, we'll have those for you just as soon as we can!"
[21:59]	* [GM]Tiffany	absconds again. Round two ends with no conflicts, whew... Maybe that man just doesn't want to make a scene here.
[22:00]	<Luize>	...why I get a feeling they don't want us here?..
[22:00]	* Luize	shrugs.
[22:01]	<Luize>	Someone's not getting tipped tonight..
[22:01]	<GMOwen>	Yukiko: That man in the corner is getting up. He seems to be going to the restroom, but he takes an unusual detour past your table. Nothing happens, but...odd.
[22:02]	* [huh]Yukiko	is on full alert now.
[22:02]	* Mirai	is still oblivious.
[22:04]	<Luize>	...
[22:04]	* Luize	prods Yukiko lightly to get her attention
[22:04]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Hm?
[22:04]	* [Owen]Joshua	focuses on making a vortex in his milk with the straw.
[22:05]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Bah...milk's too thick for this..."
[22:05]	<Luize>	.. Whatever you're doing....just don't kill them.. or disable them.. ok?
[22:05]	* Mirai	drinks her ice cold mineral water, and chillaz.
[22:05]	<[huh]Yukiko>	You noticed...
[22:06]	* Luize	chugs her Raspberry Lemonade.
[22:08]	<Luize>	Yes... do you take me for a child...? I'm also his bodyguard during my time there as well.. I would notice such simple things.
[22:09]	* Mirai	somehow doesn't notice this. She's just a normal fair lady after all.
[22:10]	<Luize>	Never the less Yukiko..
[22:10]	<Luize>	Be discreet ok?
[22:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	In matters like this discretion is the best policy.
[22:11]	* Luize	smirks.
[22:11]	<Luize>	Do as you wish then.
[22:13]	<GMOwen>	The unknown man returns, taking the same odd detour as before. On his way, he trips against a nearby chair and sails into Mirai's back!
[22:15]	<GMOwen>	Mirai: Your maidenly grace prevents you from falling over as well. Your drink sloshes on the tablecloth a bit, though.
[22:16]	<Mirai>	oops!
[22:16]	* [huh]Yukiko	gets up and rushes over to the stranger, helping him up.
[22:16]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Are you alright?
[22:16]	* Mirai	is glad that this is just water.
[22:17]	* Luize	ignores as such and resumes drinking her lemonade.
[22:18]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	rubs his shoulder but waves Yuki's hand away. He's a grown man, and a 17-year old wouldn't give him much leverage.
[22:18]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Ah... then, please be careful in the future. Someone might get hurt.
[22:18]	* [huh]Yukiko	accents her last comment with just a hint of implication.
[22:19]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	attempts to get to his feet, but wobbles around and falls again towards Josh...!
[22:20]	* [huh]Yukiko	dives at the man, grasping his hands and forcing them behind his back as he falls to the floor.
[22:21]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	goes thumpfh.
[22:21]	* Mirai	is a little bit startled.
[22:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	spins his chair around and stands up, looking at Yuki and this unknown man.
[22:22]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"GaAaah... what?!"
[22:22]	* [huh]Yukiko	pats the man down for a weapon.
[22:22]	<Mirai>	Wow, just like a cop!
[22:23]	<GMOwen>	Yukiko: You find no weapon in any of the obvious locations. Searching more thoroughly might be rather awkward.
[22:24]	* [huh]Yukiko	gets off him.
[22:24]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Yuki, what the bloody hell are you doing?!"
[22:24]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Nothing.
[22:25]	* [huh]Yukiko	avoids Josh's gaze guiltily.
[22:25]	<GMOwen>	The restaurant patrons are definitely paying attention to your party now. Smooth move, Man On The Street.
[22:25]	<Mirai>	well?
[22:25]	* Mirai	smiles at the man who just, like, smash his way through her table.
[22:25]	* [Owen]Joshua	ignores Yuki for now and helps the man up, apologizing all the way.
[22:26]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry about all this..."
[22:27]	* [huh]Yukiko	looks rather abashed.
[22:27]	* Luize	is enjoying this spectacle turn of events.
[22:27]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	is even more unstable now from the frisking, but manages to get to his feet.
[22:27]	* Mirai	put the glass down and help that man.
[22:28]	<Mirai>	Not feeling well, mister?
[22:28]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"What the hell was that all about? What, you think I'm a damn assassin or something?!"
[22:28]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	is rather miffed, indeed.
[22:29]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Well, uh...
[22:29]	* Luize	is irked at this.
[22:29]	<Luize>	You want to know what I think.. Mister?
[22:29]	<Mirai>	I don't know about that. But the fact is, you crashed through our table.
[22:29]	* Mirai	nods.
[22:29]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Sir, calm down, please; she's new to the US, she's got some things to learn..."
[22:30]	<GMOwen>	Everyone is talking at once. The waitresses are getting panicky, but for completely different reasons than they'd planned to be.
[22:31]	<Mirai>	can you stand by your own?
[22:31]	* Mirai	is still supporting the man, yo.
[22:31]	<Luize>	..firstly..
[22:32]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	realizes he is being supported and pulls free.
[22:33]	<Luize>	I've seen you staring at us for quite some time now... and then intentionally making detours to our table twice.. I think I have my suspicions sir..
[22:34]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	isn't taking crap from a girl who's old enough to be his daughter.
[22:34]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"You stay out of this, little missy."
[22:34]	* Mirai	retract her arms back in a kind-of-apologetic way.
[22:34]	<Mirai>	Hey hey, no need to get angry. We're here merely to enjoy our food.
[22:34]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"And frisk me just because I tripped?!"
[22:35]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"I oughta tell the manager to throw you out!"
[22:35]	<[huh]Yukiko>	At my master. I am his bodyguard. Anyone who gets within a meter of him is my business.
[22:35]	<Mirai>	well gee.
[22:35]	* Mirai	sighs.
[22:36]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	raises an eyebrow.
[22:36]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"Bodyguard?"
[22:36]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"...You?"
[22:36]	* Mirai	shrugs.
[22:36]	<Mirai>	why yes. she is.
[22:37]	<Luize>	Sir...
[22:37]	* [GM]Tiffany	is nearby with the food, but obviously now's not the best time to serve it.
[22:37]	* Luize	looks up at him.
[22:37]	<Luize>	I can kill you right now and cover this up without a problem.. I suggest we keep this civil.. alright?
[22:38]	<[Owen]Joshua>	Tiffany, CUN check.
[22:38]	<[Owen]Joshua>	[retcon :| ]
[22:39]	<mini_Kagami>	[GM, CHANNEL check ]
[22:39]	<Mirai>	[Atai, MOOD check.]
[22:39]	<[Owen]Joshua>	[Get off my plane!]
[22:39]	<Luize>	[Everyone, cock check, roll d12]
[22:39]	<mini_Kagami>	[Rolled a zero. I can't read it.]
[22:40]	* [GM]Tiffany	approaches tactfully, but she hears what's going on. She's extremely nervous.
[22:41]	<[GM]Tiffany>	"E-Excuse me, please... We're going to have to ask you to leave if you keep disturbing the other patrons..."
[22:42]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	's eyes grow wide with Luize's comment.
[22:44]	* Mirai	frowns at Luize.
[22:44]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"Wh-what are you saying, girl? That's a horrible thing to say!"
[22:44]	* Luize	smirks... her patience grows thin.
[22:44]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"Hasn't anyone ever told you not to joke about things like that?"
[22:45]	<Mirai>	Hey, you can't just say that out! Everyone's gonna misunderstand us!
[22:45]	<Luize>	Now... Mister~ can we please eat our dinner in peace?
[22:45]	<Mirai>	You took your pranks too far, now!
[22:45]	* Mirai	hmphs!
[22:45]	* [Owen]Joshua	facepalms. Apparently no, NO one has told her not to joke about those things.
[22:45]	* Luize	totally ignored Mirai.. she's too caught up in threatening this man.
[22:45]	* Mirai	is being ignored! Mukiiiiiiii---!!
[22:46]	* [huh]Yukiko	sighs.
[22:46]	* [GM]Tiffany	is being ignored too. She scurries away to get the manager.
[22:47]	* [huh]Yukiko	notes this with a shake of her head. So much trouble...
[22:47]	* Luize	goes back to her sit and shuts up.
[22:48]	* [huh]Yukiko	sits down as well.
[22:48]	<[GM]TheBossman>	"What's going on over here?"
[22:49]	* [GM]TheBossman	is authoritative, even to French maids and stupid guys!
[22:49]	<Mirai>	To tell you the truth, I don't know.
[22:49]	* Mirai	facepalms. This is just too much to chill.
[22:50]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Ah... we had some trouble, it's finished now. We're very sorry for the disturbance.
[22:50]	<Luize>	Yes... I apologize on my behalf as well.
[22:50]	* [GM]TheBossman	scowls at everyone concerned.
[22:51]	<Mirai>	I'm not apologizing. I was here minding my own business and suddenly this happened.
[22:51]	* Mirai	is panicky.
[22:51]	<[GM]TheBossman>	"Sir, what is the meaning of this?"
[22:51]	* [GM]TheBossman	asks the man on the street.
[22:52]	* [GM]ManOnTheStreet	looks at the maids, Josh, and the manager.
[22:53]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"I, uhh... I tripped, sir, and this young lady here suddenly jumped on top of me like I was a criminal!"
[22:53]	<[GM]ManOnTheStreet>	"B-But I, uhh, I think it's all right now..."
[22:54]	* [Owen]Joshua	scratches his head. This is NOT what he expected would happen, if anything happened at all.
[22:57]	* [GM]TheBossman	won't stand for this. Olivia's Garden has a reputation to uphold.
[22:57]	<[GM]TheBossman>	"I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you all to leave."
[22:58]	<Luize>	...Very well....
[22:58]	* Luize	stands up.
[22:58]	<Luize>	Let us pay for our food and we'll be on our way.
[22:58]	* [Owen]Joshua	sighs. "This is what maids get me..."
[22:59]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Awww, pleeease?
[22:59]	* [huh]Yukiko	pouts.
[23:00]	* [GM]TheBossman	has dealt with far sadder and prettier faces than that. This is his credibility here, not his feelings.
[23:01]	* Mirai	facepalms really hard. She just want her pasta...
[23:01]	<[GM]TheBossman>	"No, miss. This establishment has rules, which I must uphold."
[23:01]	<[GM]TheBossman>	"We will box your orders up for you, as they have already been made."
[23:01]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Tch...
[23:01]	* Mirai	quietly takes the lead. She leaves the restaurant in a hurry, hiding her face behind both her hands.
[23:01]	<Luize>	Well.. boot us out, at least let us pay for our food that has already been-.. yes
[23:01]	* [huh]Yukiko	really does sulk now. Ninja Skill: Womanly Charm failed...
[23:02]	* [Owen]Joshua	shakes his head. What a disaster... and scantily-clad women didn't even have anything to do with it...
[23:07]	<GMOwen>	It's a sad time, but these things tend to happen when you let children be ninjas and deadpan lolis, after all. The manager rings up the bill while Tiffany boxes up the food. Josh pays in full and tips EXTREMELY graciously after all that happened, but after a few minutes he's still outside just like the girls and the tripping man.
[23:07]	<GMOwen>	The man pulls Josh aside and gives him a folded-up note, then walks away mysteriously like the NPC man-on-the-street he was.
[23:08]	* [Owen]Joshua	scratches his head and rejoins the girls, carrying many boxes of food and the note jammed in his palm.
[23:09]	* Mirai	is faceplanting her face on the car's roof. She's too MRGHNGRHGH to deal with anything now.
[23:10]	* Luize	sighs.
[23:10]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well...ehhhh, that went... well."
[23:11]	* [Owen]Joshua	says sarcastically, and without much snark.
[23:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I...
[23:11]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I'm sorry, Master.
[23:11]	* [huh]Yukiko	is earnestly regretful.
[23:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	sets the boxes in the back seat for now and takes a look at that note.
[23:12]	* Mirai	lets out a rather large grunt.
[23:12]	* Luize	stops in her tracks.
[23:12]	<Luize>	... no way....
[23:12]	<Luize>	.. Can't be..
[23:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	answers Yukiko while still focusing on the note.
[23:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"It happens. At least they didn't call the cops."
[23:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Always look on the bright side, y'know?"
[23:13]	<Mirai>	I wish I could. But this is just....
[23:13]	* Mirai	groans again.
[23:14]	<Mirai>	And I didn't do anything to deserve this.
[23:14]	* [Owen]Joshua	finishes reading the note. Then rereads it. Then crumples it in his fist like that stupid meme with the bad art.
[23:15]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"...I'm gonna kill him."
[23:15]	<Mirai>	Yeah. Kill him with a mustang guitar on his forehead, that manager.
[23:15]	* Mirai	grumble grumble.
[23:16]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"It's a left-handed Rickenbacker 4001, Mirai."
[23:17]	* [Owen]Joshua	states matter-of-factly.
[23:18]	<Luize>	Josh..
[23:19]	<Mirai>	huh?
[23:19]	<Luize>	..its him isn't it?
[23:19]	* [Owen]Joshua	hands Luize the crumpled note without saying a word.
[23:22]	<GMOwen>	Luize: The handwritten note is simple. It reads as such: "YOU JUST LOST THE GAME, J.J. -UNCLE JOE"
[23:22]	* Luize	reads it....and bursts out laughing.
[23:22]	<Luize>	Hahahahaha!
[23:23]	* [Owen]Joshua	grits his teeth. Bloody hell... and it'd been weeks, too.
[23:23]	* [huh]Yukiko	reads it over Luize's shoulder.
[23:23]	<[huh]Yukiko>	That was...
[23:23]	<Mirai>	what the-?
[23:24]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I...
[23:24]	<[huh]Yukiko>	I've done something unforgivable...
[23:24]	* [huh]Yukiko	is horrified at the news.
[23:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	punches the side of the car. Ouch. That was stupid.
[23:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	heads Yukiko off before she becomes too paranoid.
[23:25]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Don't get in a twist, Yuki; that wasn't Uncle Joe. Just someone he knows, probably."
[23:26]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Just one big setup... I bet he even told the staff about this, too..."
[23:26]	<Luize>	Ohh.. that guy sure knows how to get a girl like me laughing..
[23:26]	* Luize	is still giggling.
[23:26]	<[huh]Yukiko>	But still...
[23:27]	* Mirai	groans, still.
[23:27]	<Mirai>	That was humiliating.
[23:27]	* Mirai	then noe-spins out of her bad mood!
[23:28]	<Mirai>	Then let's not waste our time here! I'm sure the park is a better place to eat! Better scenery, too!
[23:28]	<Luize>	Then.. I must have the same twisted humor as your uncle does.
[23:28]	* Luize	chuckles before slowing down to a silence.
[23:28]	* [Owen]Joshua	shrugs.
[23:28]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I'm sure you do. He'd want to put people like him near me. That or people that aren't like ME."
[23:31]	<Luize>	Well.. shall we have our meal somewhere else then?
[23:32]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Might as well. Someplace far from here, though."
[23:32]	* Mirai	is quite amazed at herself. That was a pretty nice spin!
[23:33]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yes...
[23:33]	* [huh]Yukiko	is still a bit glum.
[23:33]	* Mirai	spins again. This time with more grace!
[23:33]	* [Owen]Joshua	patpats the little ninja.
[23:34]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"He's been doing this my whole life. Don't worry; you'll get used to it. Just like how I'm getting used to you, y'know?"
[23:34]	<[huh]Yukiko>	Yeah...
[23:35]	* [huh]Yukiko	brightens considerably, and even gives Josh a warm smile.
[23:35]	* [Owen]Joshua	notices Mirai.
[23:35]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Working on something there, Mirai?"
[23:36]	<Mirai>	Oh, no no no! nothing! I'm just having fun.
[23:36]	* Mirai	slow down into a stop.
[23:36]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, don't stop having it, then. We need some of that right about now."
[23:38]	* Luize	smirks as she makes this comment before heading inside the car.
[23:38]	<Luize>	I'm having fun..
[23:38]	* [Owen]Joshua	heads into the car too.
[23:38]	* Mirai	get inside as well.
[23:38]	<Mirai>	Well, off we go!
[23:38]	* [Owen]Joshua	's head heads into the doorframe. Tall idiot.
[23:41]	<GMOwen>	Driving off into the sunset that had already set a while ago, they talked about things and did stuff. They ate their food somewhere off-screen that wasn't that important, and Josh whined that he didn't get the neverending biscuit rolls.
[23:41]	<GMOwen>	And now we're all caught up with the scene in the future that already happened, but if you're reading the archives you didn't know that, and now you do.


@@Session #4 - "The Show In Which Maids Go Shopping At The Big Box Mart"
@@(7:00 PM, Febtober 12th, 2010)
...
[19:55]	<GMOwen>	Intro: After the horrible debacle which was dinner (What? You didn't see that episode? Oh man, you missed a good one), the main characters moseyed on out of there and hopped in the Awesomewagon. Josh promised to go shopping with the girls, so they headed on over to Big Box Mart for impressive pricestyle savings!
[19:56]	<GMOwen>	To compensate for the fact that Yukiko's actress had a tutoring session during the time the director set aside for shooting, the resident ninja-maid did her shopping ninja-style: invisible and undetected.
[19:56]	<GMOwen>	...Or something like that.
[19:56]	* [Owen]Joshua	rolls a shopping cart in through the automatic doors with the girls nearby.
[19:57]	* Mirai	, as soon as she walks past the cashier, throws one cigarette pack into the cart.
[19:57]	<Mirai>	~
[19:57]	* [Owen]Joshua	casts her an aside glance. A smoker? Hmmm...
[19:57]	* Luize	picks out the necessities.. paper towel, cleaning materials, some... candy...
[19:57]	* Mirai	... followed by another sixpack of beer.
[19:58]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"All right, before we get too carried away here..."
[19:58]	<Mirai>	Y-yes?!
[19:58]	* [Owen]Joshua	pulls out a list on a folded sheet of paper.
[19:58]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Made a list of some basic groceries we should keep around."
[19:58]	* Mirai	puts a double-sized seaweed flavored chips back onto the shelf in a hurry.
[19:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I think, since we've got four... well, three people, we should each grab a cart."
[19:59]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Where'd Yuki go, anyways?"
[19:59]	* [Owen]Joshua	has lost track of the ninja.  An easy mistake.
[20:00]	<Mirai>	She's doing the shopping, I'm sure of it.
[20:00]	<Mirai>	Just undetected.
[20:00]	<Luize>	Hand me the list Joshua.. I'll get the things..
[20:00]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, here's part of it, anyways."
[20:00]	* [Owen]Joshua	tears the list in half.
[20:01]	* Luize	takes it.
[20:01]	<Mirai>	Half 'n half?
[20:01]	<Luize>	At your leave..
[20:01]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"See you at the checkout, I guess."
[20:01]	* Luize	looks at the list, peering through each aisle..
[20:01]	* [Owen]Joshua	guesses him and Mirai will stay together with the other half, then.
[20:02]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"All right, let's do this smart. Aisle by aisle, I guess."
[20:02]	<Mirai>	That's a wise decision.
[20:03]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Saves time. I don't want you girls exposed in public any more then you've already been tonight."
[20:03]	* [Owen]Joshua	's face gets a little red. Gah, dinner... that could have gone worse, but also so much better...
[20:03]	* Mirai	pushes the cart along the aisle, throwing this and that inside the cart. Mostly groceries.
[20:03]	<Mirai>	Seriously, you should be more proud.
[20:03]	<Mirai>	You don't like it? having us around...
[20:03]	* Mirai	mood = sullen.
[20:04]	* [Owen]Joshua	has been put into a pickle! Gah, cute girls, stop doing that!
[20:04]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"No, no! You're fine, I suppose... better me than someone else looking after you... It's just I'm not that kind of guy. Normally."
[20:05]	* Mirai	lets out a small laugh.
[20:05]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Did I tell you I was going to school to become a minister, Mirai?"
[20:05]	<Mirai>	No, you didn't. But you don't look like one.
[20:05]	* [Owen]Joshua	shrugs.
[20:06]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, not yet. I'm still a second-year, working on Gen-Eds."
[20:06]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"But I'm trying to take it seriously. I have my reasons."
[20:07]	<Mirai>	I'm sure it's something very important, and should not be talked while we're doing groceries.
[20:07]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying if you're looking for a ladies' man, don't look at me."
[20:07]	* Mirai	patpats again. She sure loves doing that.
[20:08]	<Mirai>	You're alright the way you are, I think.
[20:08]	<Mirai>	Just... take it easy.
[20:09]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Can do. Heads up!"
[20:09]	* [Owen]Joshua	tries to flip Mirai's maid bonnet off her head. Shazam!
[20:11]	* Mirai	then moves her head according to the force applied, and lets Joshua's finger slip through without even moving her headband.
[20:10]	* Luize	comes back carrying a large 24 pack of tissue paper and some small miscellaneous items in her arm.. she looks at the two..
[20:11]	<Mirai>	ufufu~
[20:11]	<Mirai>	Nice try.
[20:12]	* [Owen]Joshua	snaps his outstretched finger. Bugger. Next time...
[20:12]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oh... Hi Luize. Done already?"
[20:12]	* Luize	sighs...
[20:13]	<Luize>	Yes..thanks to your organizational skills, each items were listed with their own group/aisle.
[20:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Good times."
[20:13]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Well, we've got a few more here still before we move on to random stuff that's not on the list."
[20:15]	* [Owen]Joshua	just notices the beer in the cart too, as they're carting around.
[20:15]	* Mirai	whistles.
[20:16]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"You're legal, right? I forgot how old you said you were."
[20:16]	<Mirai>	I'm older than you~
[20:16]	* Mirai	pokes Josh's forehead!
[20:17]	<Mirai>	And it's not nice to ask a lady her age, y'know?
[20:17]	* Luize	scoffs.
[20:17]	<Luize>	A common stigma with the gender these days.. seriously..
[20:18]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"You're not allowed to talk, Miss 14-year-old. I remember YOUR age, at least."
[20:18]	* Mirai	scoffs.
[20:18]	<Mirai>	why hello there 'little girl'. Need some candy?
[20:19]	<Luize>	As much as you need your cigarettes and beer miss.
[20:19]	* Luize	rebuts.
[20:20]	* Mirai	is stung by the remarks!
[20:20]	<Mirai>	...It's just one pack, sheeeesh.
[20:21]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Don't worry, don't worry, it's a joke. The smokes really don't do you any good, though."
[20:21]	<Mirai>	I'll keep that in mind, Joshie.
[20:22]	* Mirai	sighs.
[20:22]	* [Owen]Joshua	wonders aloud:
[20:22]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"What kind of maid smokes cigarettes, anyways? That's not very sexy in my opinion."
[20:22]	<Luize>	Her.
[20:22]	* Luize	points.
[20:23]	<Mirai>	Oh you silly bugger!
[20:23]	* Mirai	slaps Joshua's back!
[20:23]	<Mirai>	Now I know why you said that! That's NOT for smoking!
[20:23]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Gaaoww!"
[20:24]	* [Owen]Joshua	is hurt, but probably just emotionally and not that much.
[20:23]	<Mirai>	You know how nicotine can act as a pesticide? I intend to do that!
[20:24]	<Mirai>	We have a flowerbed, no?
[20:24]	<Luize>	So you mean you're a bug and trying to kill yourself Mirai?
[20:24]	* Luize	claps.
[20:24]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oho!"
[20:24]	<Mirai>	Read more encyclopedia, Luize.
[20:25]	* [Owen]Joshua	is having a wonderful time now! The tedium of shopping has never ceased to exist less!
[20:26]	<Luize>	Don't make me put you down some more Mirai...
[20:28]	<Mirai>	You really don't know, do you? Nicotine in a cigarette, when you put it in the water for a period of time it can be used to spray the plants to keep the bug away. I'm sure that's a very fundamentally basic knowledge.
[20:28]	* [Owen]Joshua	picks up some saltines. Lots of saltines, actually. Who needs this many saltines?!
[20:29]	* Mirai	then throws a dried squid into the cart. It's mandatory for a beer drinker!
[20:29]	<Luize>	I'm not below to being a slave to a plant to get my kicks off miss, and did you know you'll attract more flies with with vinegar than honey?
[20:30]	* Mirai	is stunned! This kid sure knows her job.
[20:30]	<Mirai>	I-I know about that!
[20:30]	* Mirai	dry laughs!
[20:31]	* Luize	sighs...
[20:31]	<Luize>	Now... can we please get on with our shopping?
[20:32]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Actually, we've got most of the important stuff. It's all gravy from here."
[20:33]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I wanna check out the bargain DVD bin. Maybe find a good bad movie for tonight or something."
[20:34]	<Luize>	I'm looking at a bad movie in the making as we speak Josh..
[20:34]	<Mirai>	Hey. That's going a bit too far, non?
[20:34]	* Mirai	glares.
[20:34]	* [Owen]Joshua	winces fakely.
[20:34]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Ouch. Touche."
[20:36]	<GMOwen>	The group moves over to the electronics section whilst Josh rummages through horrible old movies that aren't that bad in retrospect.
[20:36]	* Mirai	looks at the list. Got all the things we need now.
[20:36]	<Luize>	Ooh... Dawn of the Dead, the original is pretty good..
[20:36]	* Luize	peers in.
[20:37]	* Mirai	is holding a music CD in silence. Will Josh buy this for her?
[20:37]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"If you see any Chuck Norris, tell me."
[20:37]	* Mirai	thinks, naah, that's not gonna happen.
[20:37]	* Mirai	puts it back on the shelf.
[20:37]	* [Owen]Joshua	is not focusing on Mirai at the moment. Awwww, how sad... ;_;
[20:38]	* Luize	tugs on Mirai's skirt.
[20:38]	<Mirai>	hn?
[20:38]	* Luize	hands her a twenty and whispers to her.
[20:38]	<Luize>	Don't expect me to do this again.
[20:38]	<Mirai>	Th... thanks...
[20:39]	* Mirai	is grateful. Chopin is just too good to pass up.
[20:40]	<Luize>	..oh!
[20:40]	* [Owen]Joshua	holds up a classic he rescued from the ash heap.
[20:41]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Hey hey, Short Circuit! I loved this as a kid!"
[20:41]	* Mirai	passes the discount counter and sees the Tsukihime anime. Wait, what? "There's no Tsukihime anime", right?
[20:41]	* Luize	holds up what seems to be "The Delta Force." at Joshua.
[20:41]	* [Owen]Joshua	gives her a hearty thumbs-up!
[20:42]	* Mirai	's pick: Shanghai Noon!
[20:43]	<Luize>	..listen a bit more carefully Mirai.. he said Chuck Norris.
[20:43]	<Mirai>	But Jackie Chan is also great!
[20:44]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Indeed! Stop thinking you're all that, little girl; the adults know what they're talking about!"
[20:44]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Delta Force IS a good one, though."
[20:44]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Still, lighten up, eh?"
[20:44]	<Luize>	Yeah if you caught him before the Rush Hour phenomena, his classic Drunken Fist saga was better.
[20:45]	<Mirai>	Sure, you movie nerd.
[20:45]	* Mirai	giggles.
[20:45]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"How do you even know this stuff? Uncle Joe must've given you a lot of time off."
[20:45]	<Luize>	You'd be surprised.
[20:45]	<Mirai>	She slacks off, that's why!
[20:45]	* Luize	smirks.
[20:46]	<Mirai>	Oh my, we did buy a lot...
[20:46]	* Mirai	looks at all the stuff.
[20:46]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Oh yeah, before I forget, umm..."
[20:46]	* [Owen]Joshua	scratches his head. How to say this..."
[20:47]	<Mirai>	We shouldn't buy this much on our first day. We might end up in trouble on the last week of the month.
[20:47]	* Mirai	talks from experience.
[20:47]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Nah, don't worry; Uncle Joe gives me a LOT of birthday money, and I'm pretty frugal."
[20:48]	* Luize	speaks plainly in Mandarian.. too bad no one understands it..
[20:48]	<Mirai>	?
[20:48]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"If we're not crazy, we've got plenty to go around."
[20:48]	<Mirai>	Oh, sure. I'm just being a worrywart.
[20:48]	* Mirai	shrugs.
[20:49]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"But anyways, umm... Look, I know Uncle Joe's gonna get mad at me, but you girls should probably buy some normal clothes. Like, ME normal, not Uncle Joe normal."
[20:49]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Now, I don't know you're sizes, obviously, or I'd do it myself, so, I guess..."
[20:49]	* Luize	nods.
[20:50]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Buy something. Something you like. Anything, really, so long as it's better than these maid outfits."
[20:51]	<Luize>	..in.. this store....right... you realize all they have for my size are kids clothes..
[20:51]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"You'd be surprised what they have here."
[20:51]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"This place caters to everyone."
[20:51]	<Mirai>	I myself think this outfit is the cutest, though.
[20:51]	* Mirai	spins a bit.
[20:53]	* [Owen]Joshua	sees Mirai spinning again. D'aww, how cute. Except she's older then him, so that's kinda weird.
[20:55]	<Mirai>	Well, I want you to go with me! So I can get some second opinion about my choice.
[20:55]	<Mirai>	Isn't that great? I mean, I haven't got a chance to wear normal clothes much!
[20:56]	* [Owen]Joshua	facepalms a little.
[20:56]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"I don't wanna embarrass you or anything."
[20:56]	* Luize	sighs and looks for something a little more plain...
[20:56]	<Luize>	Jesus Christ, do they expect all us kids to dress up like dolls or something?
[20:56]	* Luize	is browsing through.
[20:57]	* Luize	saw a lolita dress but... oh wait.. she already has one...somewhere.
[20:57]	* Mirai	looks at a nice set of a long dress with a small jacket.
[20:59]	<Mirai>	What do you think?
[20:59]	* Mirai	nudge Joshie.
[21:00]	* [Owen]Joshua	rubs his goatee, thinking it looks cool. It's not, by the way.
[21:00]	<[Owen]Joshua>	"Normal enough for me."
[21:01]	<Luize>	..hm... I'll just get some jeans and shirts.. good enough for me.. oh.. and this for sleeping.
[21:02]	<GMOwen>	And the end is nigh; I'll make a better end note for this later. Lame.
[21:03]	<Kiri>	You have my :|
[21:03]	<Kiri>	and my D:
[21:03]	<Kiri>	and my ;w;
[21:04]	<Luize>	And my :3
[21:02]	<GMOwen>	But as Josh walked away to the checkout, the girls found completely different outfits off-screen that would make Josh facepalm!  What could they possibly be?  Leather pants?  High heels?  G-strings?  Frilly dresses with pastel colors and unrealistic accessories that look like they were designed by a drunken Japanese man?  Keep watching for the answer to this and other questions you don't really care about!
