[She heard that!]

You alright, Shugah?

[no_bloody_lord]

[there's a bit of silence as he takes stock. The machine is still whirring... the ghosts are still moving around him like nothing happened... and he hasn't exploded yet, so...]

Yeah...

[picking himself up, he'll cautiously move back to poke at the button again. Because, obviously, if it's not going to kill him it's worth playing with some more. He blinks when the microwave pauses]...What's this thing do, anyway?

[always_bad_news]

[Hears it whirring in the background before he pauses it] That's just the microwave, dear. Heats up food. Or, attempts to, anyway.

[no_bloody_lord]

[have more beeping as he tries a few more buttons, but it doesn't turn back on again]

It heats up food? [...] Is this another magic thing?

[darkevangel]

It looks like somebody's discovered the microwave.

[no_bloody_lord]

[poking buttons now. Because, if it didn't kill him first, it's obviously worth testing.] The micro-whatsit?

Oh... [He knows that voice. The beeping stops as he frowns at the journal] It's you.

[darkevangel]

Such a warm reception. You should be glad I decided to waste my time talking to you.

[no_bloody_lord]

Oh yeah? Why would I be glad of that?

I already know you're no bloody Dark Lord. [seeing as no one else seemed to know about an evil overlord with a little girl's voice]

[hatesdolls]

[over the journal]

Someone needs to put a manual next to that thing for all the morons here.

[no_bloody_lord]

I'm not a moron. [Light, what is it about women? Didn't matter what world you were in... do something wrong and they all swarmed on you before you could breathe]

[hatesdolls]

Right. Of course you aren't.

Have fun with the microwave. Careful, it might make your brain start to boil if you stand too close.

[no_bloody_lord]

I'm not.

[there'd been more beeps as she'd talked, his curiosity getting the best of him since he hadn't exploded the first time, but he goes silent when she finishes]

...it can do that? [wary. He's not sure whether he should believe her or not.]

[f_ck_your_fish]

[she's on her way in to grab some lunch, and comes across the poor kid sprawled across the floor]

Good lawd. ...That you, Mat?

[no_bloody_lord]

[he's already scrambling to his feet, trying to hide his embarrassment with an I-meant-to-do-that look.] Miss Bloom.

[a bit of a sheepish grin] I was just exploring. Guess I slipped.

[though... there's a small frown at the floor. Looking down now, he can't see anything that might have tripped him up]

[f_ck_your_fish]

This place is always throwin' surprises at people. [scoops up his staff for him, and holds it out] You a'right?

[no_bloody_lord]

[taking it, he'll lean on it, giving her his full attention. He's doing his best to pretend he hadn't just made a fool of himself.] I'm always alright.

[grins] So what brings a lovely lady like you down... here? [a glance at the strange room.]

[seasonofsamurai]

[Shinobu comes in with a rag, then notices the guy on the floor right around where she spilled some of the juice she was pouring herself.] Shit, I was going to wipe that up. [Picks up the staff and hands it to him.] Is this yours by any chance?

[no_bloody_lord]

[scrambling to his feet, his annoyance fades away completely when he sees a pretty girl come in. Well, hello there]

[a quick grin] Just a bit of a tumble. No harm done. And...yeah, that's mine. [taking the staff, he'll tip his hat to her] I'm Mat. And you would be....?

[seasonofsamurai]

[No harm indeed, considering how quick he seems to get up.

Tilts her head up at that.] A gentleman, are we? The name's Shinobu.

[no_bloody_lord]

[grins] Just a bloke.

A beautiful name for a beautiful lady. It's a pleasure, miss.
