* Keiko thinks back at Jamie, ~I can tell you're faking it.~ A flat look. ~Stop it.~ ( Keiko thinks at nobody! ) [Karin is in the control room! Duh. She's fiddling with the controls. A good thing to do in a control room, one supposes. ] (I only wish!) * Jamie takes another step away from Keiko and tries not to respond to her. * Keiko smirks to herself and looks out the window down at Luana, thinking at Jamie, ~Ooh. Not liking this much. That almost feels like an opinion.~ ~ Please. Stop.~ * Keiko presses her duck against her stomach and thinks back, ~Why? If you don't care, then I should be able to do anything.~ A pause, then she finishes, crossing her arms over her chest as the plates all move above her own head, in a stack, ~But we both know better.~ * Jamie hugs herself. ( /misparses as "Jamie mugs herself" ) * Keiko lets things be silent a moment. After that moment she thinks at her, ~Ask me a question.~ * Jamie blinks and then asks the first thing that comes to mind. ~What?~ [Karin sits back. "Well, I guess if you guys ever need to kill each other, you'll be ready."] * Keiko looks over at Karin a moment, then says out loud, "You never know what they'll order." She then thinks at Jamie, ~You're confused. Ask a question.~ * Jamie blinks ~ I. I did.~ * Keiko rolls her eyes and lets the plates go into a circle again as she thinks back, ~Right, I answered 'What'. Ask a real question.~ [Karin glances at Keiko, then shakes her head. "They wouldn't do that. There's no point to it."] * Keiko looks over at Karin and replies flatly, "You never know." * Jamie 's eyes dart around the room untill she comes up with a new question, also mental blurted as soon as it was formed. ~Why?~ * Keiko then looks back out and smiles very slightly to herself. ~Better. Why what?~ I... I don't know. (Out loud? Bad Jamie!) (Yes, out loud.) [Karin blinks. "Well, as long as you're in agreement."] * Jamie shakes her head and backs slowly into the door. * Keiko looks annoyed a second, then thinks back at her, ~Calm down, Jamie. There's no real reason to run.~ * Jamie looks at Keiko with watery eyes. ~I. I. I don't want this. I don't want. ... I don't know what you want me to do! ~ * Keiko looks over and licks her lips a moment, before thinking, ~Come here.~ ( Hot lesbian love, obviously. ) * Jamie walks back across the room. * Keiko thinks back, ~What were you confused about?~ ( sexual orientation. But Keiko can help with that! ) ~ I don't know what to do. ~ (My sexual orentation is whatever people tell me it is. o/~) (Too easy.) * Roseli has joined #Controlroom * Keiko thinks back, ~But you never know what to do. That's what I'm trying to tell you. You can make choices... we proved it.~ * Togo has joined #controlroom [Roseli and Togo arrive! Karin and Jamie and Keiko are in the control room! Lotta not talking going on here.] * Roseli walks in, chewing gum (but kicking no ass). She glances around. "Sebastion and Luana sparring?" [Karin nods. "Yeah. Not sure why, but yeah."] * Jamie nods and then, in a compleatly transparent manover, walks so that Rose is between her and Keiko. ( Jamie can't turn transparent. ) * Roseli blinks at Jamie. Problem? * Keiko groans slightly and looks out the window. "She's being... nervy." * Jamie looks at Rose. "I. I..." and then at the floor. "I don't know." * Roseli nods. Happens sometimes. It's okay. * Roseli looks to Keiko. "Need your help, after I talk to Heinrick." * Togo lets Roseli do the talking for the moment. * Keiko looks over at her a moment, then asks, "About?" The fiction problem. Figured out where it's coming from. (Where!? ...is what I would ask if I was there. ;_;) * Keiko nods curtly and looks out the window. "Okay. I'll help." [Karin blinks and leans forward. "Uh oh."] * Keiko lets the ghost of a smile onto her face as she looks out. "It's a good trick." * Roseli nods. She looks out the window Karin is. Smart move. What ( erg ) What's going on? (TOGO TYEP GUUD) * Jamie is visably calming down and lets her arms drop to her sides. ["Yeah. But how is Sebastian going to react?"] Looks like she's not keyed as his real guardian. * Roseli turns to Jamie. "Do you want to leave?" * Togo winces as he hears Luana get hit with a grenade. "Great, now the kid's picking up my bad habits." * Jamie squeeks. "I... I. Ah..." * Roseli waits. ["She's not, but Gertrude and Sebastian have a... complicated relationship."] * Keiko adds, "Hate-hate." * Jamie looks at both Rose and Keiko for some sort of guide. [Karin frowns. "I'm not so sure."] * Keiko thinks at her, ~Stop panicing. Make a decision. What would the dream Jamie do?~ * Roseli thinks no such thing at anybody. ( wwdjd? ) ~I I.. she! ~ * Jamie flees the room. [Karin blinks. "Uhh..."] * Roseli watches Jamie run off. "That's one answer," she comments dryly before walking off after her ward. "See you, Karin." ( When Dream Jamie traveled through time to the year 3010 / she fought the evil robot king and saves the human race again! o/~ ) * Togo wanders over next to Karin near the window. "They're really getting into it." (Okay, I need to sleep. Gotta wake up the earlies tomorrow. ^^) (Might put some minis together this week, so.) (G'night, Ard!) (Probably a good idea.) * Keiko looks after Jamie a moment, then sighs and shakes her head. * Keiko then looks out after the fight. "Luana takes things seriously." [Karin waves to Rose. "Later." She watches the fight, and nods to Togo. "Yeah. We're lucky they're fighting in the holoroom, where they can't kill each other."] There something personal between them I should be aware of, or is this just two kids blowing off steam on each other? * Brett has quit IRC (Ping timeout) * Keiko replies dryly, "They don't hate eachother, no." * Roseli has quit IRC (Quit: But I am le tired.) * Brett has joined #ControlRoom ( And here, too! ) (PAsted.) * Brett has quit IRC (Quit: ) * Brett has joined #Controlroom * Togo nods. "She's spending too much time in melee with a guy with a sword. Gonna hafta work on that." Her technique is improving, but tactics are still a work in progress. ( What happened here, too? ) (I pasted to you!) (You missed nothing beyond what I pasted the first time.) [Karin shrugs at Togo. "You'd know Luana better than me. As for Sebastian, he's out to prove he's the best of the wards."] Mmm. That a good thing or a bad thing to you? [Karin cups her chin. "Both in some ways. It's not good for him to show so much confidence in his abilities, and he doesn't treat his teammates well. But given the kind of life he had... and HAS, for that matter... it's good that he at least still holds something to value."] * Keiko snorts and the metal plates around her head rest on her shoulders a moment. * Togo winces as he heard Luana block a sword strike with her torso. "Like I said. Melee with a sword fighter is a bad idea." * Keiko then grimaces slightly and replies flatly, "Seems so." [Karin leans back. "Hey old man, there's something I've been meaning to ask you."] Shoot. ["You don't have eyes, right?"] Nope. Had 'em burned outta the sockets going on 25 years ago. ["I figured something like that. But how come you never went for cybernetic replacements?"] * Keiko 's eyes squint for a moment as she looks down at the room. Tech wasn't around back then, and I've gotten used to these over the years. * Keiko murmurs to herself, "Maybe now she starts to see." Even without my glasses, I'm pretty accurate out to about 50 meters. * Togo winces as Luana keeps trying to deflect sword strikes with her vital organs. ["Yeah, but you could get your vision back entirely with cybernetics."] Maybe if I ever retire, I'll think about it. But I've gotten so used to working without them, I dunno how useful I'd be with them. ( er, without them ) ( No, wait, nevermind ) [Karin shrugs. "It just struck me as odd, is all. But if it works for you, that's good."] ( Brane no wurk ) * Keiko licks her lips and runs her fingers over the bill of her duck, murmuring, "C'mon, Luana." Be nice to be able to see again, but I dunno how many good years I have left in me, and I don't wanna waste them recovering from surgery or relearning how to shoot. * Togo pulls a small flag with the word 'Luana' in big letters on it out of his coat, and holds it out to Keiko. [Karin nods. "There is that."] (If it helps, even blind, you're pretty obviously Luana's hero.) ( Holy crap >.> Something's wrong with the world ) * Keiko blinks as she looks at the flag, then it floats to join her 4 metal plates. * Togo claps. "Good job, kid." [Karin looks in. "Guess that's that." And hits some buttons on the console.] * Keiko smiles very faintly at Luana's display of victory, frowns at Sebastian's tantrum, and then begins to pad down there. [Karin frowns to. "Hey, Keiko. Don't mention this to Gertrude, alright?"] I didn't see anything. *grins* * Keiko thinks back at Karin, ~Hope she doesn't check the security logs, then.~ * Togo heads down to the holoroom as well [Karin frowns, and also heads down. Quickly!] ( To the main channel! )
