Friday Afternoon: The Meeting

Rikku sat nervously, waiting for everyone to arrive. She hadn't managed much sleep the night before, but the warm-fuzzy-Jude-kitten in her lap was helping. A lot.

Once everyone got settled, Rikku took a deep breath and started talking.

Arrive, talk to the roomies and/or the cats. Ask what is going on. Chit-chat. Have a good time.

Luke knocked twice on the door, then poked his head in. "I got your message?"

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 20:22:24 UTC

Rikku hopped up and opened the door. "Luke! Yeah! Uh, come in!"

"Have you met, uh ..." She held her kittenfriend?! out. "This is Jude but he's usually not a cat. And that's Crookshanks, and he usually is a cat, and, uh, have a seat?"

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 20:27:37 UTC

Luke nodded like that all made sense and found himself a seat. "How have you been?"

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 20:34:05 UTC

"I've been ... okay, I think? I met your dad. He's a really amazing guy. I was gonna ask him about the Jedi and instead we ended up talking about ... just a lot of stuff." She smiled. "And he says you should totally get three t-shirts, if we do the club, 'cause you're that cool."

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 20:49:54 UTC

Luke beamed. "He said that?" He shrugged a little apologetically. "We're still kind of getting to know each other."

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 20:57:29 UTC

"Oh. Oh! That's right, you are, 'cause you didn't know him, you said. That's gotta be so weird. But in a good way." She beamed. "And yeah, seems like he's pretty proud of you. Something about painting something on your wings and you being an awesome pilot."

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 21:02:15 UTC

"We paint our kills on the side of our starfighters," Luke explained, wrinkling up his forehead. "I wonder which one he was talking about..."

He waved it off. "Not important." He glanced around at the rest of the crowd as they gathered. "Everyone brought food," he said sheepishly. "I'll bring food next time!"

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 21:05:36 UTC

"Ooooh, your kills? Like fiends? Do you blow them up from the air?" She grinned. "I'm sorry I don't remember, uh, which he meant. But it sounds like you'd have a nice line of them going across anyway."

"I didn't think to get food, either." She shook her head. "That should be in the club notes: always bring food. Uh, if we get the club together. I still want to. I know some people that I think would wanna join."

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 21:32:04 UTC

Luke nodded. "I was a pilot--most of my kills were in air combat," he said. "I wasn't good enough with a lightsaber for a long, long time."

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 21:37:34 UTC

Rikku grinned. "Pops has an airship ... a big one ... but we're not even sure how it stays up. So far it's the only one in Spira. Maybe they'll uncover more."

"A lightsaber?" She tilted her head. "I don't think I know of those. But then, anything's a weapon if you use it right. Wakka had modified blitzballs with spikes on 'em."

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 21:44:11 UTC

"The lightsaber is the weapon of the Jedi," Luke said with a smile. "Um, big glowy sword thing. Cuts through anything." He paused, looking down at his gloved hand. "Including people, so you have to be careful."

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 21:47:07 UTC

"Oooooooh. That's so neat! Auron's swords didn't glow." Rikkuk thought for a minute. "Okay, it kinda did for this one move, but that was just a thing. He'd take a chug of sake and blow it on the blade and these symbols would pop out and ... sorry, I'm rambling."

"Anything, really? Wow. That'd be fun to spar with." She looked at his glove. "Are ... are you okay? You were hurt?"

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 21:53:09 UTC

"It happened back in the fall," Luke said. "I got my hand cut off in a duel." He tried to brush it off. "It's a cybernetic replacement--I hardly even think about it any more."

Re: Mingle! the_merriest April 27 2007, 22:06:36 UTC

Rikku flinched. "Whoa. That's some pretty intense duel, there. Are ... are you ... does it hurt?"

She didn't know what a cyberthing was, but they must have reattached his hand, so that was good, right?

Re: Mingle! tatooine_doofus April 27 2007, 22:09:21 UTC

"Nah," Luke said, pulling off the glove to reveal a totally normal looking hand, the popped open the tiny little hatch at the base of his wrist to reveal the mechanics inside. "See? No problem. But when it gets shot, it kind of fries."
