[Having Fun]

[crystal_energy]

[Arika's in a pretty good mood. She's making new friends, she's adopted the start of a new family, and she got to be really cool and beat that giant monster. Granted, she's still a bit weirded out by using a person as a weapon, but... it was cool!]

[Right now, she's stretched out on the deck, just laying there and looking up at the sky]

Shoutaro had stepped out onto the deck in order to let the wind billow through his clothes and look cool as he stared out into the horizon. If Akiko saw him now, she'd probably bean him with a slipper. Before he could cross over to the rail, the Half-boiled detective saw someone he recognized sprawled out on deck looking out into the sky. An idea coming to him, he walked over to Arika, and laid down beside her. "I was right. You're even more adorable in person."

[crystal_energy]

[No way would she bean him with a slipper... she doesn't have a bag to carry one in!]

Aaa, Shoutaro!

[Yeah, she's blushing again. At least Philip isn't here to want to know why she's blushing?]

[leftjoker]

[Just going to power on through] Nice day out, isn't it? Is that why you're out here?

[Because Shoutaro would have to be the one to explain it to him. Dickeido would just laugh]

[crystal_energy]

Mhm! I like having nothing to do!

[of_10_faces]

With a sigh, Tsukasa dropped down next to Arika.] Yo.

[crystal_energy]

[Arika smiled]

Tsukasa!

[of_10_faces]

Glad to see you're relaxing. How's your day been?

[crystal_energy]

I don't have anything to do! It's wonderful!

[Prometheus strolls by with a bowl of popcorn held above his head. He's pretending that he's not paying any attention to her, and doing a terrible job at it.]

[crystal_energy]

[Arika perks up]

Popcorn?

[saikyocivrobo]

[It's still warm and crisp, and slightly yellow from being covered in fresh butter... Prometheus doesn't seem to care, and he doesn't have a mouth anyway.]

[crystal_energy]

[Drool...]

H-hey! Can I have some?

[aceshighhealer]

Hi, Arika!

(Have a Yoshika, coming out onto the deck to take in some sights! Sure they're of the skies, but that doesn't matter.)

[crystal_energy]

Aa, Yoshika!

[beam]

[aceshighhealer]

(She beams right back, eagerly sitting down and stretching alongside Arika.)

How long have you been up here?

[crystal_energy]

I dunno. I lost track of time.

[curseu_reflexes]

[Hey there, Arika! It's the girl who got you into manga!]

Long time no see!

[crystal_energy]

Julia! Is there any new manga out?

[curseu_reflexes]

Probably somewhere, but not in Area 11. Not like people living in ghettos have that kind of entertainment on their minds. Which is unfortunate, but I can really understand. But I'm sure we could pick something up the next time we drop by Tatsumiya Island or maybe a colony in space.

[crystal_energy]

[Arika nodded]

I can wait!
