Hm... to anyone who knew Professor Kokonoe, it seems she's gone home. I'm certain this is better in the long run; after all, she never did like being away from her lab.

It was nice to see her again, though... It's a bit of a shame, but I suppose there's no helping it.

This house seems so quiet now... although I'm sure that won't last.

Wh-what!? She's gone?! Are you sure!?

[not_meatbuns]

Yes, I'm afraid so. She was living with me.

...I'm sorry.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

But she was so cool, she built me this laser car!

You could really tell she was a nice lady...

[not_meatbuns]

[She can't help but laugh.] You know, I don't hear that about her all that often. But I certainly agree. She really is a good person. As much as she tries to hide it.

So that car was for you? [Because Kokonoe scared the bejeezus out of her with it a few times. She was wondering what it was for.]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Yup! She made it for me as a present for my birthday!

[not_meatbuns]

[Well, Kokonoe. She's impressed. Doing something so thoughtful for a complete stranger? ...There had to be some kind of ulterior motive.

Still, Litchi smiles.] Is that so...? That was really very nice of her.

And I'm sorry it's belated, but happy birthday.

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

.... Hey, you're her friend right? Can you build lasers too?

[not_meatbuns]

Um... [She can. She just prefers not to. Plus she's nowhere near as good at it as Kokonoe.] ...N-no, I'm afraid not. Why do you ask?

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

[His expression instantly changes.]

Oh...

[not_meatbuns]

[Oh god what did I do]

I-I'm sorry...

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

It's alright....

[not_meatbuns]

I... suppose I could do my best to make any repairs to the car if it needs it... but I'm afraid I can't make anything new.

[And she would tone down the power on that thing because honestly now, nobody needs that strong a laser on a RC car.]

[gomugomunopwn.livejournal.com]

Really!? So if it gets broken, you can fix it!?

[not_meatbuns]

[Sheepish laugh.] I can do my best...

[She's fixed Tager before, a car should be no problem.]

[Ragna arrives to lighten the mood!] Good riddance.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

...I'd really rather you didn't say anything at all if you haven't got anything nice to say.

[Voice]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

I happen to like talking once in awhile.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[Sigh.] You really could have fooled me.

[Voice]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

Glad to see I can still fool people.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

You're full of surprises, Mr. Ragna. [And she does mean that honestly.]

[Voice]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

Well... I wouldn't exactly say that.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

No? I have to admit, you've been surprising me fairly often lately.

[Voice]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

[Now he's curious.] With what?

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

With how... open you've been lately. I have to say, I never would have expected it.

[Voice]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

[Oh. That.] Good. Don't get used to it, either.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

I promise I won't.

[Voice]

[black-onslaught.livejournal.com]

You don't have to promise it. Jeez.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear that. Was she a good friend of yours?

[not_meatbuns]

An old friend and former coworker, yes. I'm sure she's happy to be back home, at least.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Well, they do say there's no place like home.

The tomato plants seem to be doing all right. You want a few when they finally get ripe?

[not_meatbuns]

That's certainly true.

Some fresh tomatoes sound wonderful~ I'm glad your garden is coming along nicely.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

Will do.

Yeah. It's a little hot, but they're tough little buggers.

[not_meatbuns]

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'll let you know when they're ready.

[Voice]

[james-morph.livejournal.com]

The Bio-Mechanic woman?

Fuck.. I was really looking forward to talking more with her..

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[Kokonoe certainly earned some interesting nicknames in her stay, didn't she?] Yes, that's her, alright.

I'm terribly sorry.

[Voice]

[james-morph.livejournal.com]

[There's a brief pause]

Hey, are you from her world? Did you know about the stuff she was working on??

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

Yes, she's a former boss of mine from back home. I know of some of what she was working on, but I'm afraid she liked to keep most of it a secret... was there anything in particular you were wondering about?

[Voice]

[james-morph.livejournal.com]

Oh.. Not really. My line of research and hers just sort of, well, melded together.

I thought we could learn a lot from each other by sharing our research.

[Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

Is that so...? Well, I did work as her assistant for a few years, so if there's anything you ever want to ask about, I can certainly do my best to answer for her.

Unfortunately, though, she's always been rather secretive...

[Voice]

[james-morph.livejournal.com]

Damn... That sucks.. [James shakes his head in mild annoyance]

Maybe I'll ask you some questions later if I need help with something in your field.. [Sort of an afterthought] And feel free to ask me anything you want to know about mine. I'm a geneticist by the way, specifically its application in altering life for the better.

[catus_carnival]

[A SAD KAKA.]

Tail Lady...

[not_meatbuns]

Oh, Tao... [Here, have some pets. She'll probably end up making meat buns later just to cheer her up.]

Maybe she'll be back again someday.

[catus_carnival]

Yeah...

[not_meatbuns]

[Reassuring smile. She might not be in the highest spirits either, but cheering up Tao is priority.] Oh, don't look so sad. She'll be alright.
