Forty-Eighth Explosion

...Y'know, there's been a lot of kidnappings lately, hasn't there? I mean there's been bigger drop-offs before and such, but in the last week or two there's been a lot. Thing is, I mean I hadn't been here all that long last summer but I seem to remember something similar happening last summer. I don't think we had a calender though so I'm not sure if it's the exact same time or anything.

...Whatever. Stupid aliens.

[Pause, grunt, and then some clothes rustling] Doesn't look like rain today.... Oi! Rena! Shiki! Porcupine! Any and all members of the SOS-Brigade! Summer's no good if you don't enjoy it properly, so in the absence of a public pool we're going swimming at the main lake! [Another pause, and then a sigh] When it warms up or something. It's still muddy-looking outside.

...Jeez. [And then there's the sound of some clothes rustling again before he stands up and clicks this thing off]

...Jeez.

I'll be back soon enough. Why're you asking?

[so_shik]

Just curious I guess.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[This look.

But he'll be coming back a few minutes later. You on the porch stalking it up Shiki?]

[so_shik]

[nah she's in the kitchen making a sandwich actually, so HAH.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[FIGURES. Which is why he's barging on in and tossing his shopping bag on the couch. And then he's moving on into the kitchen]

[so_shik]

[leaning against the counter, noming on her sandwich] Hi?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Yo! [And then he grunts and goes for an apple from the ice-box]

[so_shik]

Hey. [watches for a little bit] ...been busy?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

It's been boring. What would I have been doing?

[Delicious apple...]

[so_shik]

How should I know? You're off doing things for like, the Brigade and stuff.

...or...making your Brigade members develop crushes on you that they make wishes during Tanabata.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...What the hell're you on about?

[...She didn't read all the slips, right? As per tradition he did burn all the wishes after Tanabata]

[so_shik]

Your journal's not exactly private. [she'll just grin a bit though and honestly, she's amused.]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

Whatever. [Apple bite get! ...He doesn't know what to make of this crap]

[so_shik]

Why don't you just go out with her or something?

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...What the hell, Shiki.

[so_shik]

Like just on one date. It sounds like she just needs one date to get her back in the game.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

...Huh. [A pause... yeah, she's got a point, but still. Dramatic apple eating is go]

[so_shik]

...just saying. It's like the kissing thing. It's an emotional need for girls to have at least one date every now and then.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

S'not a bad idea, I guess. [Om nom nom apple]

[so_shik]

...I mean, you don't have to, it's just an idea.

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

'Course it's just an idea, idiot. I don't need to do whatever you tell me!

[so_shik]

...fine, whatever. [finishes her sandwich]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Grunt. More apple is good for me]

[so_shik]

[has nothing else to say so cleaning up after herself a bit]

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[Grunt again, and then another bite before...]

So how was the date with the tuna roll the other day?
