Rebel 21 [Action | Accidental Voice]

[not_meatbuns]

[After a couple days of absence, Litchi is back from her short trip home. And, as always with her, it's a bath tub that she's landed in. One Yellow Thirteen's bath tub, to be precise. And she's not in the best shape.

Resounding not only through the apartment, but over the journals, is the sound of the tub cracking as if under a tremendous amount of pressure. Litchi lets out a pained whimper, curling into a ball as best she can despite one arm being tangled in the shower curtain.

The Boundary has cut loose. And Litchi is absolutely terrified.

The journal picks up another quiet groan before she falls silent.]

[She's noticed that, too. A small frown twitches onto her lips. Whatever is going on... she's getting a really bad feeling about it. This can't be the end of it.]

"Strange" is putting it a little lightly. I wonder what in the world is going on...

Maybe it has something to do with the draft... it seems odd that we only just got back not that long ago and now this.

[hageshii]

My thoughts exactly. [He looks past the destruction... the smithy is still standing. And behind that...]

Looks like your house may have survived.

[not_meatbuns]

[Small sigh of relief. She can only barely see that far, even with her glasses, but the house is indeed standing -- just some minor damages.] Oh, thank heaven.

[She glances over at Goroh thoughtfully. Community Building 2 was destroyed. There's no way he has anywhere to go back to just yet, unless it's the barracks.]

Mr. Goroh... you're welcome to stay with me and Tao until your building is repaired, if you'd like.

[hageshii]

[Oh, an invitation. He grins at that.]

Well that's fortunate. I was inviting myself over anyway.

[not_meatbuns]

[She just grins back.]

I was going to insist anyhow.

[hageshii]

Now you won't get the chance. Shame that.

[not_meatbuns]

I suppose I'll just have to deal with it. Now come on, you're getting some rest once we get inside.

[hageshii]

So are you. [A wry grin.] Maybe do it together.

[not_meatbuns]

[Hands on hips. She's a little red, as well.] Mr. Goroh, that really isn't funny. You're married.

[hageshii]

[Goroh doesn't miss a beat. If there's any discomfort at that, he hides it well. He shakes his head in amusement, as if Litchi completely missed the point.] That's a bit forward, Litchi. We're supposed to be resting, not doing whatever you think.

[not_meatbuns]

[alskdjads. She's bristling just a little bit now.]

You still shouldn't have worded it like that!

[hageshii]

[He opens the door once they arrive, already feeling as though he lives there.]

Well, if you are interested, just knock.

[not_meatbuns]

[Why is she getting this feeling he's never going to leave...?

She stands outside in indignant silence for a beat or two, trying to fight down an urge to swat Goroh upside the head. He's injured. Hitting him now is not a good idea.

Heavy, heavy sigh.]

Linhua... maybe you were right.

[hageshii]

[Goroh plops himself on the couch.]

I'll be good here, for now. If you get any ideas about going out alone, I'm a very light sleeper.

[not_meatbuns]

[She'll just go inside now, shutting the door behind her a little harder than she usually would. It's not a slam, but it's not her usual quiet self, either.]

There's no need to be like that. I don't mean to go anywhere tonight.

[hageshii]

[He can only wonder what is bugging Litchi.]

Good. Though, since Dave got his house smashed, is he going to stay here too?

[not_meatbuns]

[Oh, you know, just bothered that a married man is toying with her.]

I invited him to stay as well, although it's ultimately up to him.

[hageshii]

[Way to be sensitive, Litchi. Jeez. You should be flattered. His wife is pretty hot.]

Anyone else?

[not_meatbuns]

[She still considers herself taken, thankyouverymuch.]

Well... Miss Yayoi's building was destroyed as well, so I also invited her to stay.

[hageshii]

[If only Goroh knew about Sir Squiggles, he'd be more aggressive just so she'd get over him.]

Oh, Tsubaki? Great. [He can bug her about TRAINING.]

[not_meatbuns]

[You forget -- Litchi is the queen of the guilt trip. She can make excuses to hang on forever.]

Yes, I... realize it'll be a little crowded, but so long as Tao stays in my room, it should be fine.

[hageshii]

[And Goroh is the king of never feeling guilty!]

We get our own rooms then? Fancy.

[not_meatbuns]

[Somehow, it balances out!]

We do have four rooms. It just seems fair.

[hageshii]

True. We do have four rooms.

[not_meatbuns]

Mr. Goroh... what are you trying to get at?
