> Tiny!Saki: Meet tiny!Drew. BECOME BFFS.

-- snowboundHybrid [SH] began messaging gheraoFairytale [GF] at 15:41 --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  had been cycling up and down the street - her dad didn't like her going past their street - when it started. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  had attracted the attention of a small group of children, a few years older than her. One reached out and put a hand on her bicycle's handlebars as she was going past, stopping her. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  glares at them, getting off of her bike. --
GF: you got a problem?
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  assailants assure her that they do, in fact, have a problem. Their problem is with her father, in fact. They say a variety of unkind things about his identity, and Saki balls her hands into fists. --
GF: fuck you!
GF: dont talk about my dad like that!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  throws a punch at the guy holding her bike. He staggers back, because even though she's only eight, she's /still/ being trained in the soft fist style. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  has, however, not failed to account for the fact that there are a lot of kids here. Older kids. They advance on her... --
GF: fuck you, ill take you all on!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  swaggers around a corner followed by two bodyguards, looking like she owns the place. Notices the scene and stops to watch, intrigued. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  throws another punch, ducking under the inexperienced swing of one of the boys. But a big girl comes up behind her and grabs her arms. She stomps down on that girl's feet and twists out of her grip, but another guy tackles her down to the ground. --
SH: Oh, this is getting interesting.
SH: Shes doing pretty well, is she not?
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  directs the question at one of her guards, who nods. --
SH: But for how long, I wonder...
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  yells as she twists, driving an elbow into the side of one of the kids. --
GF: you fucking shitsmears!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  cackles at that --
GF: ill make you all pay!
SH: I like her! Shes a spunky one.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  gulps as one of the kids puts his boot on her throat, though without applying pressure. She glares up at him. --
GF: you dont got the balls
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  Raises an eyebrow. --
SH: Hmm, thats no good.
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  Looks toward a bodyguard --
GF: stop fighting? fuck you, YOU stop fighting!
SH: Id very much like to meet this girl, so if you could be so kind as to insure her survival...
GF: who are you calling a crazy bitch?!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  the guard sighs and pulls out a gun, then fires it into the air with a loud BANG --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  folds her arms, grinning smugly, while the guard points his gun at the kid about to step on Saki's throat. --
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  assailants look up, the one on her throat staggering away from her. One of them yells, "Shit!", and they run off down the street. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  Saunters over to where Saki is lying and offers her a hand --
SH: Need some help?
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  pushes herself into a sitting position, rubbing at her throat. She glares up at Drew and picks herself up without any help. --
GF: i wouldve been fine on my own
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  raises her eyebrows above her orange and very stylish glasses, retracting her hand. --
SH: Im sure!
SH: Nothing wrong with a little insurance though, I always say.
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  offers her hand again, for a handshake this time. --
SH: My names Drew, and since I basically just saved your life, you get to be my friend!
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  turn to raise her brow. After a moment's hesitation, she shakes Drew's hand with a firm grip. --
GF: you didnt save my life
GF: my life was never in danger
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  smiles --
SH: Of course not!
SH: Its okay, no need to thank me.
SH: Its all in a days work, new friend.
GF: im saki and im basically a professional badarse? so like dont go thinking i need saving or whatever.
GF: also who the hell said i was your friend
GF: i dont do friends
SH: Yes you certainly seemed pretty bad, er, pretty awesome over there. I quite enjoyed watching you fight.
SH: Dont do friends?
GF: yeah you should like watching me fight
GF: sometimes i do it for a crowd when dad brings me along to his shows
GF: its pretty great
GF: and no i dont
GF: friends are stupid
SH: That sounds all well and good, but...
SH: Saki, my dear, everyone needs friends.
GF: bullshit
GF: im fine on my own
SH: Its true!
SH: Friends are extrodinarially useful though.
SH: Take today for example!
GF: youll probably just try and get some info out of me and then make fun of me for it
GF: i aint buying it
SH: If I hadnt shown up, while you might not have lost, you would have taken much longer t--
SH: Make fun of you?
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  shrugs. --
GF: its what everyone does
SH: Whatever for?
GF: "oh look its that loner kid with the famous flamboyant dad"
GF: "better go piss her off"
SH: Whats wrong with having a flamboyant father?
GF: aint nothing wrong with it
GF: but you arseholes all seem to think there is
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  tilts her head --
SH: I dont see whats wrong with that.
GF: ... youre just trying to get me to let my guard down
SH: Personally, I only make fun of people when they deserve it.
SH: Like that group who attacked you just now.
SH: Theyre clearly idiots.
SH: And cowards.
GF: theyre cocksucking cumbubbles is what they are
SH: Taking on one little girl with such a large group, tch.
SH: Uh
GF: but they oughta know they need a group by now
GF: id wreck them one on one
SH: Regardless, it strikes me as a weak move.
GF: yeah its pretty bullshit
SH: Or at the very least, one without a lot of thought.
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  mouth is simply foul. Where did this kid learn to /talk/?! --
SH: I mean, if you want a job done, hire a professional.
GF: ha
GF: thatd be the day
SH: Anyway, are you alright?
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  shrugs again. --
SH: Not hurt too badly anywhere, are you?
GF: a couple bruises feels like a cut where i hit the pavement
GF: no big
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  Walks in a circle around her, inspecting for injuries. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  has a few bruises welling, and a few scrapes where she hit the pavement, but no major injuries. --
-- gheraoFairytale, [GF,]  notably, follows her with her eyes as she walks around her. She's constantly alert, this one. --
SH: Hmm, you seem to be telling the truth.
GF: aint got no reason to lie
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  finishes her circle and stands in front of her again, crossing her arms. It should be noted that she walked with a sort of arrogant saunter, acting superior with body language, though remaining polite while talking. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  can tell, and it clearly irritates her. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  folds her hands behind her back, and inspects her, sizing her up. Her expression is nigh impossible to read behind her shades. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  folds her arms across her chest. --
GF: what?
SH: ...
SH: You know what Id like to try?
SH: Sushi.
GF: what
GF: you want sushi, huh
SH: Yes, I do.
SH: Do you happen to know a good place?
GF: and i guess you expect me to go take you to the best sushi place in town just because im a local
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  rolls her eyes. --
GF: since you feel like you helped me out let me play along with this stupid game so were even
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  grins --
SH: Excellent!
GF: you want Homuras Corner
SH: Lead the way, Miss Local.
GF: ... yeah
GF: about that
GF: dad dont like me going off of our street
SH: Dont worry, youll be fine.
SH: Well take care of you!
GF: a couple of strangers
GF: with guns
GF: are going to take care of me
GF: right okay
GF: im eight not stupid
SH: Oh, these guys? Theyre friends, dont worry.
SH: Lets just say I can relate to having an overprotective parent.
GF: yeah looks like it
SH: Now, lets go get some authentic Japanese Sushi!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  nods for her to start walking --
GF: my sitterll have a fit if she looks out the window and doesnt see me around
GF: ughhh
GF: youre gonna get me into so much shit
SH: Mwahaha!
GF: did
GF: did you seriously just do that
GF: did you seriously just laugh like a maniac
SH: Is there something wrong with my laugh?
GF: just saying you sound like a fucking psycho
GF: look how about i make you some goddamn sushi
GF: im a great cook
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  pouts --
SH: But I wanted to go to a restuarant...
GF: i can give you directions i guess
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  whines --
SH: But I wanted to go to a restuarant with yooouuuu...
GF: what
GF: you only just met me
SH: Come ooooooooon...
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  throws up her hands. --
GF: alright alright alright!
GF: im not scared of getting kidnapped by weird tourists lets do this shit
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  perks up immediatly and claps her hands, bouncing a bit --
SH: Yay!
SH: Lead on, Saki!
GF: yeah whatever
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  leads the way down the street, into the EATERY DISTRICT. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  lives reasonably close to the hip and happening part of down, luckily! --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  saunters along in that superior way, casually regarding her surroundings. She's used to being in unfamiliar cities. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  leads them to Homura's Corner, a time-themed sushi bar. She hops up onto one of the stools and raps at the counter. --
GF: hey yuki! i found some weird tourist who wants sushi!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  addresses a nice, older lady with hime-cut hair. She smiles down at the two of them. --
GF: weird tourist, yuki. yuki, weird tourist.
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  smiles and waves hello --
SH: My name is Drew, Drew Kellogg.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki seems to recognise the name, though her smile only falters for a second before it's warm again. "Just a moment, dears," she says in her best English, "I'll get you something nice." --
SH: Excellent!
GF: wait
GF: wait one stinking minute
SH: Something the matter, Saki?
GF: youre a kellogg chick?
SH: I suppose so!
GF: huh
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  shrugs. --
GF: explains a lot
SH: Mwahaha!
GF: luckily i dont give a shit who you are
SH: I cant say thats an opinion shared by many people!
SH: But maybe thats why I like you so much?
GF: i wish you wouldnt
SH: Mwahahahahahahaha!!
GF: you realise you sound crazy right
GF: whenever you laugh
GF: nutjob city
SH: So youre saying theres something wrong with my laugh?

GF: hee hee
GF: no you youre all doctor claw about this
SH: ......

SH: MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
GF: god damnit youre weird
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  mumbles something else, shrugging. --
SH: Hmm?
GF: ... nothing
GF: i didnt say shit
SH: No I think you most definitely said something!
SH: Go on, tell me!
GF: nope
SH: Tell meeeeee!
GF: nooooope

SH: Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!
GF: shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  own voice gets a little whiney at that. --
SH: Teeeeeeeeeell meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
GF: no! no no no no!
GF: a thousand times no!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  stomps her foot! --
SH: Saki tell me now!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  puffs up her cheeks. --
GF: no!
GF: i wont!
SH: Yes you will!
GF: nuh uh!
SH: Yuh huh!
GF: no times infinity!
SH: Yes times one plus that!
GF: you cant one plus infinity!
SH: I just did!
GF: youre stupid!
SH: No you are!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  sticks out her tongue --
GF: no you!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  blows a raspberry. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki comes back out, at that moment, with a plate of sushi... to see two eight year olds arguing. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki puts the plate down on the bar, and clears her throat, gently. "Kids? I have sushi!" --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  blows a raspberry back --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  perks up --
SH: Ooh, Sushi!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  looks up to Yuki. --
GF: awesome!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  grabs a pair of chopsticks and digs in! --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  is silently impressed that the stupid tourist girl can use chopsticks. But only SILENTLY. She takes a pair of chopsticks and steals some sushi, too. --
SH: Mmf mm mffmm mff!
GF: mff mph!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  swallows --
SH: That was really good!
GF: well durrr of course it was
GF: sushi is basically fantastic
SH: Yes its one of my favorite foods!
GF: but youve only had it once
SH: It is right up there with fillet mignon and caviar though!
GF: with what and what
SH: Other really good foods, you should try them sometime.
GF: uh sure
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  smiles at her, eyes still invisible behind her glasses. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  regards Drew warily. --
SH: Hmm?
GF: guess im just weirded out
GF: since you havent really done shit to me all this time
SH: Oh? What for?
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  tilts her head --
SH: Why would I do, er, stuff to you?
GF: swearing wont kill you its actually pretty great
SH: Er, well...
GF: makes everyone think twice before messing with you
SH: I suppose theres some logic in that...
SH: Very well.
SH: Why would I do... Shit to you?
GF: cause all the kids do
GF: and youre a kid
GF: so
SH: Well, I guess Im not like other kids.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  shrugs. --
GF: maybe youre not
SH: Mwahahaha!
GF: that laughs still creepy though
SH: Mwahahahahahahahahaha!!
GF: stop it
SH: Mwaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
GF: stooooooooop!
SH: Heeheeee... Sorry, sorry.
GF: youd better be
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  removes her glasses and dabs at her eyes with a sleeve, revealing their brilliant fiery hue. --
GF: whoa
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  puts her glasses back on, still stifling laughter. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  notices her surprise --
SH: Now what is it?
GF: never seen eyes like that before
SH: Orange?
SH: Thats nothing!
SH: You should see my moms eyes!
GF: why whats hers
SH: Theyre bright red.
GF: weird
SH: Weird eye colors must run in the family!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  shrugs. --
SH: Or it could just be a genetic mutation passed only in part from mother to daughter due to some form of DNA based hiccup.
GF: believe it or not ours are kinda weird too
GF: green eyes are pretty weird over here
SH: I guess were both weird then.
GF: guess so
SH: Which I suppose makes our friendship even more necessary!
GF: meh
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  shrugs again. But! She doesn't DENY IT. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  Grins hugely --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  and smugly --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  very smugly --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  waves her off. --
GF: i dont care do what you want
SH: I always do!
GF: yeah i can tell
SH: And now what I want to do is pay, so I will!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  flags down the waitress --
SH: Check please!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki goes over to Drew, smiling. "All right, dear. Here you go!" --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  drops a... rather large amount of cash on the table, not batting an eye. --
SH: Keep the change, Miss.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki's eyes widen a little, but she quickly clears her throat and takes the proper amount from the cash wad. She hands the rest back to Drew. "No no, dear, I couldn't." --
SH: No, I insist!
SH: Im just going to leave it on the table if you dont.
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  grins at her --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki blinks, and shakes her head, taking the cash. "All right, if you insist, thank you." --
GF: geez
GF: youre a showoff too huh
SH: Mom always says to give people what they deserve, and no less!
SH: And that Sushi was really good.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  | Yuki smiles. "Thank you, dear." --
SH: Its the truth!
GF: yeah yuki basically makes the best sushi
SH: Yes! Ill definitely have to tell my mom about this place!
SH: Lets go somewhere else now. What else do you do for fun around here?
GF: uhhh
GF: theres the arcade
SH: Well, lead the way, Saki.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  leads the way to fun, adventure, and arcade games! EVERYONE HAS A BRILLIANT TIME. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  WEEKS IN THE FUTURE, BUT NOT THAT MANY. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  stands calmly in front of Saki, having just broken the news that she's leaving Japan. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  folds her arms, looking away. --
GF: fuck you
GF: i knew youd hurt me
SH: Oh come on! Its not like I can help it.
SH: Dont be like that, Saki.
GF: whyd you have to go have fun with me when you knew you were leaving
GF: wouldve been better if we never did shit
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  is very clearly upset! --
SH: Well what am I supposed to do? Sit around in a hotel room for months?
SH: Thats boring!
GF: so what i was just your fucking entertainment was that it
SH: A person as great as me needs to grace people with their presence, an--
SH: Not at all!
SH: Youre my friend.
GF: dont
GF: dont say that
SH: I was hoping a little long distance wouldnt change that.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  sniffs. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  rubs at her face with the back of her hand. SHE'S NOT FUCKING CRYING. --
GF: ive never had a
GF: i mean
SH: ...Are you crying?
GF: no!
GF: no im not crying!
SH: Oh gosh uh uh
SH: D-dont cry!!
GF: why would i cry over you?!
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  voice hitches. --
GF: its not like i like you or anything!
SH: Oh geez...
GF: i dont even -
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  sniffs, her voice wavering. --
GF: i dont even caaare!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  breaks into tears, sobbing into her hands. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  panics, awkwardly trying to pat her back or hug her or do something oh god why are there tears why did this happen oh man oh god oh man. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  latches onto Drew, burying her head into her shoulder. --
GF: you cant leaaaave!
SH: Oh gosh...
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  pats her back --
SH: Im sorry Saki...
GF: youre my stupid moron friend you cant do this to me!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  tears up a little herself. --
SH: But I have to go...
GF: stupid, stupid, stupid!!
SH: Mom would be a wreck without me around you dont understand!
SH: She couldnt even tie her shoes without me she told me so!
SH: So as you can see, its very important that I assist her.
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  sniffs and stops crying, seeming to relate to that a little. --
GF: I... I guess...
SH: Where would we be if the Second in Command of Kelloggs was tripping over her shoe laces?
GF: i guess thatd be pretty dumb...
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  dislodges herself from the hug --
SH: Exactly!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  steps back, curling a hand at her chest. --
SH: But we can still keep in touch, right?
GF: yeah...
SH: Do you have Pesterchum?
GF: theres always the internet... yeah!
SH: Excellent!
GF: so well still talk right? every day?
SH: Er...
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  argues with her modus for a bit, eventually getting a pen and some paper. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  writes down her handle. --
SH: Snowbound... Hybrid..... There!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  hands over the paper with a smile. --
SH: Every day!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  takes it and smiles, waveringly. --
GF: kay...
GF: lemme write down mine too?
SH: Okay!
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  takes the pen and paper and writes down her handle - gheraoFairytale. --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  hands them back to Drew with a smile. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  smiles back --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  a car horn beeps in the distance, and Drew perks up. This is her ride. --
SH: Well...
GF: ... this is goodbye huh
SH: Just for now!
GF: okay
SH: Well see eachother again, for sure!
SH: Oh and one more thing.
GF: yeah?
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  snatches back the paper and jots down a couple more handles. --
GF: whore those guys?
SH: These guys are my other friends, you can talk to them too!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  hands back the paper, with a couple more handles on it --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  laughs, shaking her head. --
SH: Theyre pretty cool as well, I think youll get along.
GF: yeah right like i need more morons at my heels
GF: hey drew
GF: thanks for like
GF: hanging out with me and stuff
GF: it was fun i guess
SH: Not a problem, I had fun!
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  the horn beeps again. --
-- gheraoFairytale's [GF'S]  smile falters. She looks to Drew as she captchalogues the paper. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  looks over her shoulder, then back at Saki. --
SH: See you.
GF: see you later
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  rubs at her shoulder, looking away. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH]  waves and starts off, walking over to a car and hopping in. She waves out the window as it retreats. Even after doing this twice before, it's still really hard... --
-- gheraoFairytale [GF]  waves, once. Then she turns away and begins walking back to her father, trying not to cry. --
-- snowboundHybrid [SH] stopped messaging gheraoFairytale [GF] at 18:00 --
