"Finding Yourself in a 'Routine Plot'"

[hontobakabaka]

[Its been a few days since the postman delivered a letter with a small card on it and a larger box, after receiving it Ruri disappeared into the Nadesico, only coming out every so often to not be droned]

Action 1 - Downtown

[Ruri is downtown, she's got a large bag and is walking into various stores and picking up random clothes, makeup, and other things she NEVER gets. She has her usual deadpan attitude, especially with dealing with drone shop keepers.]

Phone - Drone Filtered

The town has returned to me the Nadesico's television studio. I've also picked up some things for costumes so if anyone would like to make use of it to film anything, we can talk about setting up time and compensation.

Also, the Nadesico has had a broadcast channel for a while, so if some of the more scientifically or mechanically inclined people would like to help me see if we can't use it to pirate one of the 7 channels on the television that aren't used, we may be able to provide more of a service to the town.

Action 2 - 947 Beulah Street

[Ruri is hanging some of her acquisitions in the Nadesico's main hangar. She's visible from the ground as she left the ramp open and is currently hanging a nurse's uniform while humming something to herself]

I'm afraid I don't know much about technological science, but if you wish to do programming on medical science I'd be happy to help~

[hontobakabaka]

Once we get the ability to broadcast a show about medicine may be useful and interesting. I'd have no problems with helping to set that up.

Action 2

[princeofjunes]

[Yosuke's just heading home from another day at the office. Of course he can't help but notice the ship's open, and as he glances inside-]

[Hooooooooly crap]

[He finds himself running up the ramp and coming to a stop at her, looking between Ruri and the uniform]

Alright, who told you?

[hontobakabaka]

[She stops and peers over at him]

Told me what? I was hanging the old costumes I got at the cosplay cafe since the town sent me the Nadesico's TV studio. I never got to wear this one though.

[princeofjunes]

[Crap, so this isn't some sort of amazing sexy surprise for him? Let the backpedaling begin!]

Oh! Right, that makes sense! Just forget what I said! It was nothing!

[hontobakabaka]

[She just stares at him]

Did you have a bad experience with a nurse or something?

[princeofjunes]

Oh, no, it's nothing like that! Really, don't worry about it!

[Because he just knows she'll never let him live it down if she finds out]

[hontobakabaka]

Oh. I see. I wonder if I should just put it on and see how you react then.

[princeofjunes]

[Crap crap crap - wait that's good! ... wait the ramp is down! Crap crap crap!]

I, uh... wouldn't do that in public, okay?

[hontobakabaka]

Well no, I wouldn't change in public, that would be a terrible idea.

[princeofjunes]

No, I meant, uh...

[Oh god he might as well just come out with it]

Alright! I kind of have a nurse... thing!

[hontobakabaka]

A nurse... Thing?

[Blank and confused stare]

You mean you were studying to be a male nurse?

[princeofjunes]

[Ruri how can you be so brilliant and so dense. ... unless you're trolling, in which case making him admit plainly is just mean]

No, I mean nurses turn me on!

[hontobakabaka]

[stare... stare... stare....]

Are you...

[She blinks and her cheeks flush very slightly red]

Oh. I see.

[princeofjunes]

That's why I thought... you know, the costume, I thought maybe you...

[Yep, this is still awkward]

[hontobakabaka]

No, but, is there anyone here who would know that? I haven't seen you spending an excessive amount of time around the hospital and you haven't mentioned it to me.

I don't mind though, if you'd like.

[princeofjunes]

I thought Teddie might have said something before - that bear and his big mouth are always tro-

Wait, seriously?

[Jeez Yosuke, you could at least try not to look this happy]

[hontobakabaka]

I think he mentioned something about a tragedy with nurses and a fire once, but I just assumed it was an accident that happened at your town.

Yes, why not? I have a lot of costumes.

[princeofjunes]

[Dammit, he would have mentioned that, wouldn't he? But screw it, Yosuke's too busy being a happy pervert to be too embarrassed, and he leans in and gives Ruri a quick kiss]

Well I'm not about to argue. Just don't be surprised if I can't help myself.

[hontobakabaka]

Still, he did mention a lot of odd things from time to time. How you got exceptionally irritable if under your futon was cleaned, that fire.

[She shrugs a bit and hugs him slightly]

[princeofjunes]

Well yeah, it took me a while to find a good hiding spot other than there, and-

[Dear god why can he never stop talking]

[hontobakabaka]

Hiding spot? So that's where you hid your friend Chie's cook book?

[princeofjunes]

Yes! Exactly! That is exactly what I was talking about! I can't hide anything from you, Ruri.

[hontobakabaka]

...

[She stares, that was a bit TOO enthusiastic an answer]

[princeofjunes]

So, uh...

[Crap he's busted again isn't he. This is not a good day to be Yosuke. Well, it is, but still]
