[Video/Action]

[tohko_amano]

[It had taken awhile, but Tohko had finally managed to get everything made and had fond out just how to get the video settings to work. She'll be standing there, smiling, with a table behind her and a pile of presents on it..as well as a basket of fruit. A small mailbox sat on the corner of the table, separate from everything else.]

Good morning! Would the following people please come to the third floor: Rei, Romeo, Saber, Wilhelm, Tetra, France, Prussia, Lancer, 'Azazello'-aka The Brown Testament, and 'Behemoth'-aka The other Testament.

It may be a little late, but I still want to hand you guys Christmas presents, so please do show up!

[Filtered to Rei Ayanami and Rise Kujikawa]

Oh..and would Rei and Rise please meet me here as well, together? There's something I want to ask the both of you.

Comments

[puppy_lancer]

...Yeah, I was. It was a good "story." Even if it really wasn't a story back when I was living through it. Wasn't like I could flip to the end and find out what was gonna happen.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed and nodded.]

Right..I know how that feels. However..I'm sure that the ending of it wasn't too terrible..at least, that's what I think.

[puppy_lancer]

[He shrugs.]

I had a good death in my first life. And I got most of my stuff wrapped up before coming over here. Some of the stuff could've been better, but that's in the past.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko sighed as she heard that.]

I'm sorry to hear that. Even if it is in the past, death is still pretty painful.

[puppy_lancer]

Nah, it wasn't anything embarrassing.

[It was a bit awkward to remember, and he did feel a little guilty about leaving Emer behind, but it was a death worthy of a hero.]

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko lightly chuckled at that.]

..I don't think it was..but there's more than one type of pain other than just 'embarrassing'. But I'm sure you already know that..

[puppy_lancer]

[He joins in her laughter.]

It hurt like a bitch, but it would've hurt even more if I didn't die.

[tohko_amano]

[She was thinking about pain he must have felt when his friends and comrades died around him..but since he kept talking like he faced everything alone, maybe he didn't have any. She smiled and nodded.]

I see..would you have been embarrassed if they managed to defeat you without killing you?

[puppy_lancer]

[Oh, he certainly had friends and comrades. And he certainly did feel pain whenever they passed away. But it's not something he likes to talk about. Not right now, anyways.]

Probably. Impressed as well, Maybe I would've gotten them back if we had a rematch.

[tohko_amano]

[Which Tohko could understand..however, she was used to dealing with people's pain and people dying. She smiled and nodded at Lancer's comment though.]

Maybe..that would have been interesting to see. However, if they did manage to capture you, I don't think they would let you have a rematch.

[puppy_lancer]

Then I'd escape and challenge them. How hard can it be?

[Then again, if you counted the time in the Tower as captivity, then very, very hard.]

[tohko_amano]

Well, that depends on who captured you. If it's someone like The Mad Queen, you might be fine, but if it's someone like The Phantom, you'd have a hard time.

[puppy_lancer]

[He raises an eyebrow.]

And what are they like?

[tohko_amano]

Well, The Queen of Hearts is pretty crazy and loves to order people around and order their heads to be chopped off. However, they very rarely are, and jail is almost nonexistent.

However, The Phantom love building mazes and cunning devices so that you would suffer and never escape him. He's quite clever.

..Haven't you read Alice in Wonderland? Or The Phantom of The Opera?

[puppy_lancer]

Actually, I haven't. Are they epics for heroes that came after me or something?

[tohko_amano]

Oh, you really should! They're wonderful, delicious stories!

Alice In Wonderland is a fantastic children's book which details the journey of a young girl named Alice as she visits an interesting world called Wonderland. It's a clever, funny book that will make you smile, no matter how old you are!

And The Phantom Of The Opera is a classic! You have to read that one too! It's about a mysterious figure called The Phantom and how he tries to get the girl of his dreams, an opera singer named Christine. However..things don't go quite as planned, as The Phantom's feelings for her are rather twisted.

[puppy_lancer]

I'll take a look if I ever get the time. Thanks for the suggestions.

[tohko_amano]

Oh, you're welcome! If you want, I could run and grab you copies of the books.

[puppy_lancer]

You don't need to. You've done more than enough for me already.

[tohko_amano]

Well, you gave me a gift too, you know.

[Tohk held up her braid to show the bird charm that was now on her ribbon.]

Besides, I wouldn't mind! I enjoy introducing people to books! I even remember where they are. Just hang on a moment..

[And Tohko will run off to a few shelves before quickly returning with said books in tow.]

Here you are! I told you that it wouldn't take long.

[puppy_lancer]

[He picks up one of them and looks them over. Maybe it was due to the print being large, but it looked thick.]

Are you allowed to take the books back to your room?

[Maybe he'd curl up with a book and beer.]

[tohko_amano]

Yup! Just make sure to return them when you're done.

[puppy_lancer]

[They'll probably end up gathering dust in a corner somewhere in his room until he trips over them.]

Alright.

[He picks up the books along with the box that has his burgers.]

See you later then, little lady. After I catch up with the reading.

[tohko_amano]

[Tohko smiled and waved.]

Alright then. See you later! Hopefully you'll enjoy the books..and thanks again for the bird charm! It really is cute!
