62. [ RL with John ]

[trinities]

[ Nena's sitting in the lounge by the main departures board of the AEU Orbital Elevator drinking a coffee that's more sugar than drink, when she realizes she's just bullied a kid into letting her give him a tour. Wait, what? Seriously, what?

No, no, the goal was to totally freak him out by showing him space and the future and stuff! Which... he'll probably think is totally cool. What just happened and when did it happen??

Well, WHATEVER. She'd totally boss him around and freak him out, SO THERE. Little weirdo. ]

[He yelps in surprise when she pushes him, but he does manage to twist around and plant his feet on the ceiling.]

Oh! Right, got it! [And he kicks off to follow her with his arms outstretched because he is the biggest dork.] Pchooooo!

[trinities]

[ THE DORKIEST. She grabs him once he gets near the door so he won't bounce off again, and because he's totally asking for it by being such a giant dork, gives him a SPACE NOOGIE while giggling.

Which is exactly like a regular one except IN SPACE. ]

[The fact that it's IN SPACE makes it okay, but he still squirms and flails his legs and holds onto her so he doesn't go floating off or anything. And he can't stop laughing.]

Haha, come on! Cut it out, you're messing up my hair! Nenaaaaaa!

[trinities]

[ It's a good thing you're twelve or this would be awkward. She drags him back to the normal-gravity hallway, her A WINNER IS ME face out in full force ]

Your hair's already stupid, there's like, no way I could make it worse!

[airkind.livejournal.com]

[He nearly falls over when they make it back to normal gravity, but he manages to just stumble a little bit instead.]

Mean! My hair is awesome. It is the best hair. [And now he's try to fix it, which pretty much involves ruffling it up in a different direction.]

[trinities]

Okay, if by best you mean dorkiest! [ RUFFLES HIS HAIR AGAIN :Db ]

So whaddya wanna see now?

[airkind.livejournal.com]

I don't know! What else is there to see in space??

[trinities]

Hmmm... [ she taps her chin while she leads him back to the main concourse ] Well, there's tons of food! And there're all these exhibits about the elevator and stuff I guess, if you're into dorky stuff like that.

[airkind.livejournal.com]

Isn't space food all weird and gross and in tubes? Can you get anything in space food tube form? [This is a more exciting concept than it should be.] We could look at them! And if they're boring, then we can find something else.

[trinities]

No way, this is where I come when I'm sick of eating space food! Prepackaged stuff gets like super old after a while, even if it's ~nutritionally adequate~. [ she rolls her eyes, and you can hear the tildes clank into place, as if she's quoting someone reading the regulations coughTieriacough. ] This is the European tower, so they've got like twenty kinds of chocolate and ice cream and cake and everything else!

[ once they're back out on the main concourse, she goes over to peruse a map of the station-- obviously, she doesn't make a habit of checking out the scientific side of the elevator ] If there weren't totally dumb regulations now, we could have seen a Hellion or something, maaaaan...

[airkind.livejournal.com]

Oh! [He makes a face.] Okay, uh, not cake, I'm still preparing myself for my birthday. But ice cream sounds good!

[He just follows after her like a puppy and peers over her shoulder at the map, even if he has no idea what he's looking at or for.] What's a Hellion?

[trinities]

Were you like, looking forward to food in tubes? [ she rolls her eyes again, WHAT A WEIRDO ] A hellion's a mobile suit! There used to be this whole big military section, but blah blah Celestial Being blah blah blowing crap up. Whatever, right? [ and OFF SHE GOES, leading him off to the right ]

[airkind.livejournal.com]

It was going to be crazy and different! I don't know if I can call it a real space experience without food in tubes. [He follows her like a good boy, but tries to tug at her shirt to get her attention.] Uh, hey, no, not whatever! That sounded like it was going to be an awesome story!

[trinities]

[ JUST AS PLANNED, MY LITTLE DUCKLING. ] Well it totally is! Okay, so there was this group called Celestial Being, right? And they wanted to stop war, so they went around attacking everyone who fought. And they didn't want them sneaking in here as civilians to poke around military stuff and get secret info!

[airkind.livejournal.com]

Oh man, they sound really cool!! How did they fight? Was it with giant mecha robots? Because that's what happens in a lot of anime!

[trinities]

Yeah, totally badass giant mecha robots! Waaay cooler than any of the boring military stuff. And way more advanced, too!
