Before... [She trails off for a minute; her forming words are replaced by a distinct, rather melancholy pause. And, then, as quickly as it occurs, the tinge of depression is gone.]

Before Shizuru- [There is, however, a lack of respect behind that name, something that is very uncommon for Arika indeed.] -did those things, I was working on

I did model catapults, I think I could sketch something. It won't be pretty but it will be practical.

[grannysaid]

[sdffds oh sweet!] Really? I'd appreciate it a whole lot.

[pants_yourmove]

Back in school, I got one to launch a golf ball over 20 feet, I will see what I can do.

[grannysaid]

Ehhhhhh? [That is absolutely impressive, friend.] Thank you very much!

[infinitemars]

Just drawing?

[grannysaid]

...What do you mean?

[infinitemars]

I mean are you just wanting a drawing, or are you trying to set something up? There was someone before working on a sword design and I think he intended to try to fashion it, so... that would change how things were drawn.

[grannysaid]

[UHHHHHH] Well, you see, I'm working on something that's top secret!

[hontobakabaka]

"Blueprints, or a picture?"

[grannysaid]

Hmmm. I guess both, actually! [She's not really picky. Sorta.]

[hontobakabaka]

"Something to throw watermelons or something bigger?"

[grannysaid]

Well, Granny always said, "The bigger the better", so...

[onlythesong]

Something neat?

[grannysaid]

Mmhm! I'm making plans for a- [Her words soften to but a whisper.] -secret base.

[onlythesong]

Only you would come up with an idea that silly. [But there's absolutely no venom behind her words; if anything, they're slightly affectionate.]

[grannysaid]

[She simply laughs.] I think it's still a good idea. We should tell Headmistress about it, too!

Hello Not!kid Not!dad totally walked in on the phone convo if that's cool

[furikazan]

Tall fort and a catapult, you say? What for?

[There's a hint of hopefulness in Bang's voice!]

JUST LIKE A REAL PARENT ; n;

[grannysaid]

[O-oh. Hey there respectable adult unit of this particular house!]

It's, well... [She throws him a sheepish grin. Even if this man is her assigned dad, that still doesn't mean she can just give out information about her Otome duties so freely.

...Then again, maybe just a little wouldn't hurt.]

A secret base.

EXCEPT THIS IS THE COOL DAD. THE ONE THAT ARMS YOUR TREEHOUSE WITH MODEL ROCKETS.

[furikazan]

[Bang's face lights up. His eyes look like fireballs now. Don't worry it'll wear off soon.]

A secret base, you say? That's....

AMAZING! A SECERET BASE IS TOTALLY AMAZING FOR ALLIES OF JUSTICE! I WILL ASSIST YOU IN WHATEVER YOU NEED IF YOU ALLOW ME TO HAVE USE OF IT!

SWEET ACTION

[grannysaid]

[Whoa.]

You'll help make it? --Oh! I have to ask Mashiro-chan, then!
