17th Riff: And...Now for something completely different [video]

[6strngtemptress]

[The video trickling in via Haruko's PCD is odd, to say the least. Seemingly propped up on some kind of stand, the PCD currently displays Haruko sitting beside her bed, a pair of odd looking paper puppets laying on her lap, and, for some inexplicable reason, she has a smile upon her face. Clearly something stranger, wonderful, or an destructive

I think this story has not ended yet.

[6strngtemptress]

And why do you think that?

[feel_nevermore]

Easy. Because you're here and the boy is still there, in your world, waiting for the woman to return so that they can resume their story.

[6strngtemptress]

Your pretty good at reading people, aren't ya? But, yeah, as soon as I'm outta here I think I'll go and visit him...

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven shrugs. Being good at reading people is part of being an empath.] And tell him you love him back? Or did you tell him already?

[6strngtemptress]

I told him that he needed to grow up a little before anything could happen between us. He'll get that "I love you" when he deserves it.

[feel_nevermore]

Well if he really loves you, I suppose he'll wait. [Not that she can talk from personal experience here, she knows nothing about love.]

[6strngtemptress]

That sounds about right to me. And, there was a lot of emotion behind that little confession of his~

[feel_nevermore]

Isn't it hard for your sometimes? ...To have to wait until he's old enough?

[6strngtemptress]

...How did you know that?

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven shrugs.] I didn't. I just tried to imagine how it'd feel to be in such situation.

[6strngtemptress]

You'd be right, It's not easy sometimes. He's 13 and yeah...

[feel_nevermore]

That's pretty young indeed. And how old are you? 19? 20? [It's strangely hard to tell. Raven isn't even sure this girl is human. But since she calls herself a "woman", if she were human she would be at least over 18.]

[6strngtemptress]

I'll say I'm 19 at leave it at that.

[feel_nevermore]

[A shrug.] What's your name?

[6strngtemptress]

Name's Haruko Haruhara: space pirate.
