Anudder One for UG@

1) [And among the various mecha, there seems to be a new addition to the mix - a GAT-01A1 105 Dagger armed to the teeth with various Striker Packs, an odd beam saber-like hilt to the side. As it parks, the cockpit opens up, revealing a young girl, maybe no older than 16-17, wearing such a strange piloting outfit.]Oh, wow... that was so cool! I

[@2: Sora won't deny she liked looking, but she was surprised at what she saw in the bag.]

...Project PreDestiny Teams Collection, Version Claimer, High Grade. All four of us in one box.

They sell this?

[deusexotaku]

[Reimi blinks as Sora doesn't seem too interested in trying to make her off as some geeky nerd, so...]

Yeah, can you believe it? It's pretty expensive, too. Especially since it's four units in one. Though, I think a lot of it is the selling power of Seiren and Eri...

[sunshine_maiden]

Mm, that doesn't shock me, even if the scale isn't great. I hear Fairy Park sells much larger single kits, though; I actually have a Master Grade Desu Itsuki. [She mulls the rest of the comment over.] Eri... is surprisingly charismatic, yes. Seiren's absurdly powerful, too.

[She's oddly silent when she realizes there are no further comments, but... what can she do?]

[deusexotaku]

I kinda prefer the High Grade kinds myself. I'm... not too fond of having to deal with all of those screws. Though, I did decide to challenge myself a bit this time.

[There's another box and she pulls it out - a Master Grade Desu Tsubomi.]

...believe it or not, even though those two are immensely popular, there are a few dedicated fans to the other two.

...I wonder if I could get an autograph or two... oh, that'll be great!

[Yeah, she doesn't realize right now she's near one of them - she's lost in her own la-la land.]

[sunshine_maiden]

I know the feeling. That was a hard build... It was worth it, though.

[But she can't help but grin at the new box.]

Ooh, is that Desu Tsubomi!? Let me know how that one goes, I'll be looking forward to seeing it when it's done. It's... become one of my favorite units. And... you're welcome to an autograph from me, at least. [The redhead blushes; she's clearly not used to the idea of having fans.]

[deusexotaku]

I'll be glad to! Frankly, I'm excited to see how it is...

[It's then she realizes what Sora said and she quickly swaps the Tsubomi box for the team box, notices who's on the picture and starts double-taking.]

EEEEEEEE! A real life pilot in front of me and I didn't realize it!

[she quickly holds out the box for Sora to sign.]

I'd be so honored if you do so!

[sunshine_maiden]

Of course. [Sora accepts the box and starts rummaging through a small handbag, pulling out a marker and smiling wider as she signs the box; this girl's attitude is infectious.] It's good to have people that appreciate me. Like you said, Eri and Seiren get a lot of focus, but... Hana and I don't get the spotlight so much. I'll have to let her know you're a fan. It'll make her day, I think!

So, miss Desu fan, what is your name? I didn't quite catch it before with everything that's been happening lately.

[deusexotaku]

Well, I hope so! Everyone has to have SOMEONE as a fan, no matter what! At least... that's what I think!

And I'm Reimi. Reimi Kobayashi! And this makes you... [She starts rattling off a few things in her head, not bothering to look at the autograph.] Sora!

[sunshine_maiden]

That's... a lot more reassuring than you realize, honestly. As much as I try to fight for myself and not what others think of me, it's good to know that someone thinks I'm decent at the end of the day.

Well, nice to meet you, Reimi. As you've figured out already, I'm Sora Myoudouin, pilot of Desu Itsuki.

...nice work figuring that out without the box, by the way.

[deusexotaku]

I'm sure others think that way, too. Don't sell yourself short. And... eheh...I'm surprised I got it right. There's so many of you guys, I get tongue tied trying to remember them all!

That's not even getting into Mobile Suits, Gundam Fighters and all of that...

[sunshine_maiden]

I'm trying, but... force of habit, I guess. And don't worry, I get us confused sometimes too. It took me forever to remember who Ciel was, since it'd been so long since I'd seen her.

And really, there's nothing to be ashamed of if you can't remember names. I can't. There's too much else on my mind for that. I remember my friends, my teammates, and people that I work with. Or that save me often enough.

[deusexotaku]

Heh... I guess you're right about that. I have to admit, I get a bit carried away, especially when it comes to robots. I just find them so... amazing. Though... certainly not like people, no matter who or what they are.

[sunshine_maiden]

That's a good mindset. Better to be excited about everyone you meet, and their robots, than to just shrug your shoulders and ignore things.

Although blatant fangirling is probably going a bit too far. Maybe. [Sora's face sets in a wry smile.] Not that I mind.

[deusexotaku]

[Reimi grins sheepishly, blushing as she does.]

Sorry, I guess I did get carried away...

[sunshine_maiden]

No, no, it's okay! You'd have a problem if you did that to, say, Ciel, but I don't mind. Like I said, I like the attention. I'm a little weird like that.

....I'm talking about me again. I keep doing that. [She knocks a fist against her head lightly, frowning a bit; the effect is comical.] So what got you into mecha models, Reimi?

[deusexotaku]

[Reimi can't help but chuckle at Sora's reaction.] Oh, no, don't worry about that! Better to have moments when you do that than not at all...

...as for when I got into this? Maybe a year or two ago? Before everything that happened with Adventus. Believe me, it was hard being this way when everyone started to cheer for these guys who wanted to take 'em away.
