Angelic Pastimes

[can_not_fly]

[So thanks to a certain aspiring scientist, Pit has discovered the magic of... videogames! (Insert dramatic sound here). It's not hard to guess he's going to take to them like a fish to water...

[And Madoka has been watching over their shoulders.]

Pit I think you need to be less obvious with your moves.

[can_not_fly]

I'm trying! She just guesses everything I try to do!
Of course. I can read your mind through your laurel crown, after all.
What?! [Pit is so shocked the controller just hangs for a second]
So you better not think of anything... naughty.
WHAT?! [And cue Pit going crimson red and sputtering for a few seconds before Palutena breaks into laughter]
Oh come on, I was kidding, Pit! I mean, please, reading thoughts through laurel crowns? In what world would THAT make sense?
I... I knew that! I was also kidding! [Totally wasn't]
Suuuuuuuure...

[kamogawa_maru]

[And Madoka is already moving to remove Pit's laurel from his head.]

It doesn't!?

[Now she just looks silly with her hands on his laurel.]

[can_not_fly]

[Pit is, of course, more than a bit embarrassed at remembering the whole last time they spoke due to having Madoka so close and grabbing his head - and Palutena is simply laughing, a hand to her mouth but clearly very close to just bursting into roaring laughter.

Quite a laidback goddess, this one.]

Pffffehehe~. Of course not! That would be silly! Besides, I don't need tricks like that to know what Pit is thinking. He's transparent like a pure stream.
H-hey! [Aaand cue further stammered protests from flustered Pit]

[kamogawa_maru]

[And Madoka backs away as quickly as possible once she realized what she was doing. She fakes a cough to try to change the subject.]

S-So anyways I didn't think that you could...appear like this Palutena.

[It wasn't hard to recognize that evil muffled laughter.]

[can_not_fly]

Well, I AM a goddess. I have to manifest and stuff every now and then. So I have some practice. [Palutena smiles]
She can even do a thing where she's in several places at the same time!

[kamogawa_maru]

Eh!? So are you a ninja on top of being a goddess?

[can_not_fly]

Precisely, yes.
...what?
Tremble before my mighty skills of ninjary! [Palutena does a mock fighting pose with her hands, grinning]
...that's not true!
As far as you know, at least. [And she gives Pit a knowing, confident half smirk]

[kamogawa_maru]

Please take me under your wing!

[Madoka is already in a begging position planting her forehead on the ground.]

[can_not_fly]

Hmmmm... [Palutena takes a hand to her chin, in a classic old master thinking pose. She's only missing a beard to stroke, here] I don't take just anybody, you know.
I haven't taught even Pit everything, and he saved my kingdom once. So why should I take you as a disciple?
Not to mention you totally aren't a ninja.
Come on, young grasshopper. Give me a good sale.
What is she now, a piece of ham?
Now Pit, I'm talking to Madoka.
And totally making all this up.

[kamogawa_maru]

Pit could you let us talk.

[Could you blame her for taking Palutena's word here.]

Well I'm fully capable of learning anything you could teach me, my cousin Youko said that with I could accomplish anything if I went at it with Jersey Spirit. I've never lost a beach flag race either. Also I help about 20 people a week give or take a few depending on the season. OH and my three sizes are 84・58・88 in case you need to know that as well. Under your tutelage I'll be able to help way more people at once when I learn all of your techniques.

[can_not_fly]

But-! Oh, fine! [Pit gives up and just throws himself face up in the bed. Not his problem anymore.]

[Palutena, in the meantime, listens to Madoka intently. Pit blushes on the measurements thing, but says nothing.]

Hmmmm... well, if nothing else you certainly have the proper attitude. Let me think... [And she does a pretty big show of being thinking and analyzing Madoka, including raising a hand and looking at her through her fingers as if looking at her through some kind of reading instrument]

...perhaps, yes. But before I can teach you any real secret techniques, you're going to have to work. You have the attitude, but now we're going to have to work on your aptitude. [She turns to Pit, commanding] Pit?
[Pit instantly gets up] Yes, Lady Palutena?
From now on I want you to take Madoka here in your basic training workouts.
...bwah? [Confused Pit is confused]
[Not paying attention to Pit, Palutena looks back at Madoka, serious]There's more to being a ninja than clones, after all. You will need incredible aptitude of body and mind to
