1st Shot

[Seras spent the entire prior week training her awesome Growlithe --Sir Freddie Mercury-- into a wicked sweet Arcanine. For the vast majority of the day, she'd been exploring the League, riding atop her giant fluffy steed and just generally enjoying herself.

Though, towards sunset, she and Freddie were quite exhausted from the day, and were going

'When I passed Seras' trailer and spotted her passed out on top of her Growl-- ah, no it evolved -- Arcanine, for some reason the phrase 'my keywords are relevant' popped into my head.'

[ He stops in front of her trailer, hands shoved in his pockets as he look at her for a moment. Deciding to do the right thing this time he approaches, reaching out to shake her shoulder a little. ]

Yo, Seras. Might not be the best place to take a nap, out here.

[the_police_girl]

[It takes a few shakes, but she finally wearily cracks open an eye, staring up at her wake-up call...er. She blinks a few times and keeps her eyes locked on him, not making a sound.

About ten seconds of staring passes before she rolls over onto her side. The girl hadn't slept in several days. Her training Freddie got a little obsessive.]

[iamfacepalm]

'A resounding success.'

[ He put his hands on his hips for a moment, letting out a long sigh. Of course it couldn't be that simple, could it? ]

'If anything was that easy, I'd be living a very different life...!'

[ Okay, ROUND TWO. Kneeling down and raising a hand... to flick her forehead. Kinda hard. ]

[the_police_girl]

O-ow!!

[This is a really sad, pouty Seras, dude. Come on. Look at that face. The face in the icon. Yeah. That one. That's the one she's making.]

W-wha' on Earth was tha' for?! [She whimpers. She's holding her forehead, pouting still. Look what you did.]

[iamfacepalm]

'Now I've done it! Look at those eyes! It's like I just kicked a puppy with steel-toe boots! How can I ever live with myself?!'

[ D-determined not to cave in and beg forgiveness--! ]

You think it's a good idea to let yourself fall asleep out in the open like this?

[the_police_girl]

[She sits up, rubbing her eyes and glancing around.]

A-ah...oh. I'm sorry, I didn' even realize I'd gone t'sleep... [She slides down off of Freddie's back with a yawn, stretching her arms up over her head.]

T-thanks f'waking me up... though you didn' 'ave t'do it like tha'... [Seras frowns a bit, giving him a semi-playful leer. She's not mad at ya, dude.]

[iamfacepalm]

Actually, I'm pretty sure that I did. I tried shaking you first, but you pretty much rolled over and ignored me.

'So my actions were justified... and yet those sorrowful eyes will never escape my nightmares.'

[ He stands up again, cramming his hands in his pockets with a small shrug. ]

Anyway, figured I should wake you up before something happened.

[the_police_girl]

Oh--...w-well, sorry abou' tha'. Thank you.

...Though I can't re'lly imagine ennything too bad 'appening t'me. I 'ave Freddie, after oll. [She smiles and pats her MASSIVE DOG's head.]

...aside from rudely awakening people, what've you been up to t'day, Kyon? [A playful grin, and she too slides her hands in her pockets.]

[iamfacepalm]

I couldn't really imagine half of the things that happen here, and yet they do anyway. Two words: Giant Milkshake.

'I swear, I'm still not sure if that thing's real.'

Nothing much. Rattata chewed a hole through my math textbook, though. I'm gonna have to find another one somehow.

[the_police_girl]

You...'ave a good point. [A long, drawn out sigh and a slouch.] ...Out've ev'rything I've been through, I never thought I'd ever 'ave to evade a giant milkshake.

...Well, I imagine if I were fighting a weigh' problem or something, evading a giant milkshake would actually make sense...but tha's no' the case... at oll. [...I mean, look at the girl. She's tiny, aside from dem tittays.

The girl frowns in regards to his poor textbook.]

'e re'lly likes t'destroy your things, doesn' 'e...

[iamfacepalm]

No, that's definitely not the case.

'Well, there's weight, for sure, but not in any places that I'd consider it a problem.'

[ ... wow hoping that didn't come out sounding weird TOPIC CHANGE GO ]

Well, I think it's just instinct for him. I mean, have you seen those front teeth? They were made for biting through... uh, everything, I guess.

[the_police_girl]

[That first part she's going to take as a compliment.]

I s'pose so... At leas' Freddie's stopped setting things on fire... I trained tha' out've him finally. ...but now th'poor thing can't even fit in my trailer, so I guess I'll 'ave t'find a dog 'ouse for'im or something...

Where on Earth am I going t'find a dog 'ouse tha's 7 feet tall, though?

[iamfacepalm]

Probably won't FIND one anywhere.

[ He scratches the back of his head a little, glancing to the side with a thoughtful expression. ]

... probably wouldn't be TOO hard to build one, though.

[the_police_girl]

I s'pose... D'you know if there's a place around 'ere tha' 'as building materials?

[She too gains a thoughtful expression, tapping her chin.]

[iamfacepalm]

... Well it would mostly just be wood and nails, right? Paint too, I guess. Still, that stuff can't be too hard to come by, right? We could always see if one of the channels has something we can use.

'Unknowingly, I had transitioned the word 'we' into those sentences. Apparently I was volunteering my assistance without even knowing it...!'

[the_police_girl]

[She nods, crossing her arms.] I could olways use more wood.

[An unintentional beat.]

Tha' Shake is re'lly getting out of hand. Considering boarding up my windows.... Ugh.
