[ The 'live feed' is activated, by someone other than Sakura, as she is sitting opposite a six-armed, pebbly skinned, yellow eyed Arnold Schwarzennager right around his "Hercules" era. The two of them are engaged in an arm wrestling match. They appear to be at a standstill, even if her "opponent" is starting to sweat and his shoulders are

You cheated.

[nosamurai]

[ Navigating toward her poor, manipulated guide;

... oh heaven oh joy it's Envy; ]

He assumed.

[virulentfacade]

Assumed what? That you wouldn't cheat?

[nosamurai]

No. He assumed that stating there was no possible way I could ever beat him meant that there was, in fact, no possible way I could ever beat him.

Thus, he assumed. I'm sure you've been around long enough to hear your fair share of sayings about books and covers.

[ or be one WHO KNOWS you sad, sad little... monster... creature... man thing. ]

[icepumpkin]

[Ruki approves]

Nice!

[nosamurai]

[ A new face! Sakura smiles reflexively, having reached her guide and starting to make her way out of the immediate area. ]

Ahaha, thanks. Some people just need to learn not to shoot their mouths off.

[icepumpkin]

[snorts in amusement]

Tell me about it. Some guys just never seem to learn, do they?

[nosamurai]

Some guys seem particularly resistant to learning, yes.

[ like a teammate of hers that -- wasn't here. ]

On the other hand, there's a decent percentage who do learn. Who knows, maybe a few of these people will learn to think before leaping to conclusions next time.

[ahoko]

Wow! Congratulations! [impressed Aoko is impressed]

[nosamurai]

[ She laughs a little when she hears this, having made her way back to her guide. ]

I could have done without it being a live show for anyone not here, but thanks. Have we met before?

[ Let's oh so smoothly get out of this immediate vicinity before the guy at the table gets up again or... anything. ]

[ahoko]

I don't think we've met, no. I'm Aoko Nakamori! And you are...?

[nosamurai]

Sakura Haruno. It's a pleasure to meet you, Aoko! Been on the ship for long?

[sacredspear]

[hyoooooooog smile]

Good job.

[nosamurai]

[ sir that smile appears to have eaten most your face ]

Ah, thank you, sir. Did you manage to get your little friend home the other day?

Re: video;

[sacredspear]

[yes it is wonderful]

Certainly did. Her mom was very happy 'bout the walk. Doesn't like it when her kid is all penned up n' all.

Re: video;

[nosamurai]

[ it is both wonderful and also odd, you have amazing facial muscles can she study them ]

That's forward thinking of her. Some parents get caught up in the idea of keeping their children safe, and forget to let them learn, grow, and experience along the way. More mental stimulation is better for kids at any age than stagnancy.

[ so she's read and learned back home. as long as she's not in charge of groups of children, it's all theoretically nice knowledge. ]

[gospelofgreen]

Ahhh, how strong!

Though... did something break?

[nosamurai]

[ It takes her a moment to get to her guide, and so her response is a little delayed. ]

Ahh, the structural stability of the table is a little less than it was before. He should be fine, maybe a few bruised knuckles. Of course, if his bone density's less than the average adult male from... where I was from, then that might have been more than the table.

[ Dilemma. now she wants to turn around and see if he's okay, but -- at the same time -- sigh. She catches the attention of one of the people standing next to her, asking quietly if the gentleman at the table looked to be in need of any particular medical care.

The answer isn't helpful, and involves a wink and a leer. ]

[gospelofgreen]

...They really don't learn, do they?

Maybe you should get out of there before you have to hurt more than the table.

[Not that Aerith wouldn't approve of a little smackdown in response to that, but escalating the situation wouldn't be good.]

[nosamurai]

[ Wait, like not shoving her elbow in the unhelpful man's diaphragm and cleverly disguising his total loss of breath as some sort of caring gesture to help him sit down after he tripped? Sakura even says, "Watch your step," as she settles the leer-er into an open seat. ]

Ah? You know, that sounds like a great plan. I'd hate to do that.

[ Back to GETTING OUT OF HERE oh wait. Talking to the money guy, must pause for a moment, collecting funds... ]
