Fifty-Second Explosion

[Voiced]

...Oi, any of Bunny's friends. Rena, porcupine, Shiki you too if you guys didn't notice yet. Usagi Tsukino's staying over at my place for a few days. If she's staying here she probably doesn't want to be bugged but whatever.

You know maybe I should hit up those other ones again... Celes and the othe- oh! Rika! Let's go out and get some lunch later today! You don't got any notable lines anyway so you don't need to practice like the rest of the Brigade, so let's go out this afternoon! Oh and Mitsuru when is my stage gunna be done?

[...Pause, grunt] Oi! Rikku! Now's long enough! Let's make good on out bet! Meet me outside House #10. I'll be waiting this morning to make it snappy!

[Action]

[And true to his word, Haruki has kidnapped Shiki's usual spot of late. Namely, he's going to be on the porch of House #10 all morning reading a book or something. Anyone is free to run into him for whatever reason; housemates, Brigaders, random other people walking down the street... go for it.]

[Yay table. But you're getting a look for that second-to-last comment.]

... Ah. I see.

Yeah, so it's cool! Anyway, they have wait-staff so for now we'll just wait or something.

Hm. It's certainly organized here. [Pause. Gonna get right to the point here.] Why did you invite me out?

...Two reasons. I mean one I wanna talk with you more 'cus you're cute and smart and stuff. Second though...

Rena got beat up by someone the other day.

Wh-what? [Crap, that's definitely not going to help things.] ... Who?

No idea, I couldn't get that out of her. I just took her home and comforted her. Thing is, I think some dumbasses told her to go to the clinic before that.

[blinks] Is there something wrong with her going to the clinic?

The owner there is a psycho that tried to kill me before?

[And more importantly he told Rena all about that]

... Why would the owner of the clinic try to kill you? You are overbearing at times, but not to that extent.

I dunno. [GRUNT and RAGE FILLS HIM as he tells the tale...]

It was an old member of my Brigade right, Kotori? She was... really cool. Anyway, there was this one experiment were we saw ghosts of dead people. Dunno if you were here for that. Anyway, she saw something that spooked here and this jackass the runs the clinic seems to think she's going to do something crazy - and she wouldn't hurt a fly, mind you - and so he up and drugs her. I didn't know that 'til I got her home though. Anyway...

[A sigh...] I told the asshole I was coming to pick Kotori up. He basically told me he was the only one that could protect her and I wasn't allowed to see her. I went to pick her up and he shoots lasers out of his hands at me, I got burned - they nearly burned off my head too. Anyway, I manage to pick up Kotori after I punched the guy out... but then he up and starts stabbing me in the leg.

[And here he lifts up his left leg and rolls it up. Indeed, there are a lot of shallow and light scars form knife-wounds on the back of it] But I manage to get Kotori home anyway, but then the sonovbatich sends some little assassin or something to stalk me and threaten me or whatever. Kotori woke up and told him off but...

[SIGH. RAGE]

I wasn't aware the clinic owner was so ... [Crazy? Psychotic? L5-like? Idiotic?] ... thick-headed.

Yeah, he's a right nut-case. That's why I don't let Brigade members go there if I can help it.

[...Grunt] ...Anyway. Knowing that, if Rena got told to go there...

... Yes, it could've become a problem. There is no need to get him involved when it's not necessary and would only cause more problems.

Not to mention that Rena knowing that story would be paranoid about going there.

Yes. And if he were to tell her she was sick, especially knowing that story ...

...Anyway, I think someone trying to get her to go there is why, but she's got some scabs on her neck. I think she was itching it hard.

[Rika goes silent at that. Well, mostly.]

Already ...?

...Yeah. But I was able to talk her back into a good mood after I got her home. She cried and apologized, but it was better than before.

I see ... Good. [Mind you, she's got the "At least you calmed her down, but anyone else she could've come across might've done some damage" thoughts going around, but she's going to keep those on the backburner. Just the fact that he was able to relax her is something to be glad about.]

[AND THEN THE WAIT-STAFF SHOWS UP. He's getting a sandwich like a boss and is thankful for this distraction]

[Oh good, wait-staff /o/ Rika's gonna go for a sandwich as well because she has no idea what recipes the owner does and doesn't know.]

[Good, good. Once that's done with he's gunna sigh there and then:]

So d'you know how to play euchre?

Mii? No, I don't think I've heard of it before ...

Why has no one heard of euchre?! Jeez! That's it! I'm teaching the whole Brigade and we're setting up a strip-euchre game! Me and Rena against you and Shion!

[................................................ what.]

... Hmph. Fine. Once we've learned, you'll regret challenging us.
