douze. [rl with kamina]

[piercethecharts]

[ As silly as it was, Sheryl was feeling pretty cheery from that secret. She waited for Kamina by the front of her hotel, hoping that he'd actually wear appropriate clothing (i.e. a shirt) as she tapped her foot, humming to herself. This was a songwriting sort of mood. She was wearing her usual getup of aviators and a floppy hat; the sun had mostly set by now, but she liked being able to go around unrecognized. ]

[ ...brain catching up to events, please pause ] Did you just teleport?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Not teleportin', shunpo. All I did was run really fast.

[piercethecharts]

...Oh. [ ...aaand then she realizes she's being carried in a very girly fashion, and is leaning against his chest like she totally doesn't care. She struggles to get down, blushing pink ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[a-ah, he was doing that, right. he sets her on her feet, stuffs his hands in his pockets, and tries to ignore the fact that his face is turning red to the roots of his hair.]

[piercethecharts]

[ y-yeah um. yeah. she dances away a few steps, then turns to face him, hands linked behind her back ] Well? Come on, let's go and see the view!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

Race ya. [PHOOSH, HE IS GONE.]

[piercethecharts]

--Hey! Get back here! [ RUNS AFTER HIM YOU SHUNPO-USING FAILGET!!! ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[sitting on a rail about 20 feet away] I am here! [THEN BAMFS OFF AGAIN]

[piercethecharts]

You don't even know the way, you--! [ SHE HATES YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[appears pointing in a forwardly direction] I remember this! It's that'a way!

[piercethecharts]

WAIT FOR ME! [ this is not her idea of a good time B| GOOD THING THEY'RE NEARLY THERE ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[by waiting, does she mean appearing behind her and scooping her up, shunpoing to the main observation deck, and setting her down?

it better be because that's what just happened.]

[piercethecharts]

[ hammers on his chest with her fists!!!! ] Would it kill you to warn me first!?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[kamina laughs. her attack wasn't very effective....] It ain't as much fun then!

[piercethecharts]

[ well it was supposed to show her irritation, not kill him B| She crosses her arms and turns around ] Oh, look at your stars already!

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[he does exactly that after dropping a quick chuu on sheryl's forehead. everything he ever worked and dreamed for while he was alive--all just right outside this glass.] ...whoa.

[piercethecharts]

[ ...well fine, be all... adorable and stuff. she comes to stand next to him, linking her hands behind her back again ] I thought you'd like it.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

I like it loads. [the quiet awe evident in his voice is similar to the astonishment he felt at seeing the surface for the first time. it's finally hit him. he's in space. in space on a ship that is literally and figuratively lightyears from any earth he's ever seen. slightly overwhelmed, he is, but it's tempered with intense pride. if people could do this here then he could only think about what the people on his earth were capable of.]

[ leans against him slightly, then has a thought and takes out her phone, which is, like in the movie, shaped like a fish cake. A few seconds and a screen comes up to hover a few inches above the phone; she holds it up to the sky, scanning around with it until she finds what she's looking for ]

Earth is that way. See? [ It's a program that gives a named star map, along with the locations of Earth and various fleets ] Not that I've ever been there, of course.

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[he would comment on the phone, really, but the iota of common sense he possesses tells him it'd be better to let it slide and look at the program's screen instead.] Never? [a low whistle] We're gonna have to change that.

[piercethecharts]

[ it's cute, shut up ] Well, I've been touring around the fleets, but Earth itself is a bit too far away. Worldhopping changes that, though, doesn't it?

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[don't get mad because you have weird taste] Mhmm! Everywhere is right there as long as you got somebody ta take you. It's badass. You'll probably Earth though. No ceilings or walls to hold you back, the wind in yer face, the sun on your back...beats this place any day of the week.

1/2

[piercethecharts]

...I wouldn't say that. [ she hesitates, putting her thoughts in order ] This place... Frontier, everyone here is so... There's a sense of "We're all Frontier people", you know? Everywhere you go, people are...

[piercethecharts]

--Ah! [ she scrambles in her purse for her notebook, shoving the phone into Kamina's hands before flipping the notebook open and scribbling madly ]

[aburningspirit.livejournal.com]

[he almost drops the phone from the force of the shove. j-jeez.] What, what's the matter?
