Aliens being Aliens

[not_a_prize]

[Many many things have been happening over the past few days and Peola's a little overwhelmed by it despite not having been personally there for any of the occurrences. Kagura was no longer dead... sort of, a god was killed and a moon had been prevented from falling to the Earth. She really did admire just how much everyone had done...]

-YOU LOSE! PLAYER 2 IS THE WINNER.-

[But with her being off the mission roster for a while she's been spending time with her sister when not on guard duty or training or otherwise being indisposed. Ourania was still under observation but Peola did find a few things to bring in that her fellow security guards figured might help things along. The siblings had literally let their hair down and were bonding by beating the everloving crap out of each other on a screen.]



"... You're really bad at this Peola."

Well I never really ever tried any of these 'video games' before... but it means we can learn together right?"

[Ourania simply rolled her eyes, something of a tiny smirk creeping onto her face.]

"I tried a few of them while I was on Star Rose. I was quite good actually. If anything I should be teaching you."

...What.

"If you're trying to make me feel better though... its working. So I guess you won. A little."

[Peola was so caught off guard by this that she didn't even notice you entering the room. Her sister did though and simply regarded you curiously before giving Peola a shove that had her fall over to regard your feet - upside down - from the vantage point that's the floor. The older princess simply waves at you from where she is.]

Wha- Oh..Hey! When did you get here?

"Are you here to ask me to do something too since the others are? I know this isn't an inn or a prison."

"Thank you for your hard work. I really hope you enjoy your meal!"

[Monika offers the person she just doled out a meal to at the mess hall a shy but clear smile and inclining her head politely. She didn't have to of course but if anything she felt that people really did need to be appreciated for the things they do. Having people actually thank her sincerely and being happy for her presence... truly happy did things for the young woman's confidence, even if it was a seemingly minor role.]

(b)


[Salwah on the other hand was awkwardly messing with her own meal. She's had a few incidents here and there. Even if she did prove herself in some combat drills and simulations she was still getting used to Earth technology and more than often tripped herself up with things. Suffice to say Peola wasn't the only one who made a mistake with the bathrooms. She returns a wave to Monika when she is seen by her friend but otherwise she makes a preference to currently find a nice quiet corner in the mess hall such as it is to stew in her embarrassment.]

[Talk with one of them?]

"Go ahead... if anything you might be able to save my sister from the complete humiliation of me gaining four perfect victories."

[Peola just hangs her head in embarrassment at that.]



Well I almost got a hit on you one time.

[actuallyselfish]

"You gotta remember to block, Peola," Dido says flippantly, calling up an evil, spikey character with the cursed sword, and awaiting the start of the match.

"I always wondered," she asks Ourania. "What sort of games do you have on Magnolys?"

[not_a_prize]

[Peola true to form chose the unarmed powerhouse, while her sister picked the rather silly looking joke character.]

I know how to block! She always manages to find a way around it!



"Nothing like this. Most noble children tend to stop playing and try to do other things whenever I'm around so I don't have much of a clue. I mostly just irritated and pranked people."

[And not long after the level and character introduction Peola is rushing right at her sister, only for Ourania to jump right over the charging attack to retaliate with what essentially amounted to a shove... which was enough to trigger a ring out and a very loud splash as the battlefield was a giant raft, leaving Dido and Ourania as the sole combatants until the start of the next round.]

OH COME ON!

[actuallyselfish]

Dido sticks her tongue out. "Betcha that wouldn't have happened if you blocked," she said.

She attacks Ourania with long, swinging strikes from her character's demon sword. "Rah!"

[not_a_prize]

... Uuuugh... okay. Lets see you do it then.



"I'm sorry, but I think its time I un-rah-velled your attack."

[Ourania's character jogs and flails away from the swings before running and tripping at the slashing spiky evil dude!]

[actuallyselfish]

Dido's bad-guy character gets knocked down and frantically rolls away. "Oh-yeah?" Dido says. "Well I'm gonna send you on a trip...to the sky!"

She does a wakeup attack involving a rising crescent slash, launching Ourania into the air.

"So you were a prank-iando," Dido wonders aloud. "What was the coolest prank you ever pulled? And did it involve whipped cream?"

[not_a_prize]

...Pranknado is more like it... I swear the servants in the palace start to go on their tip toes if Ourania's been in a room for more than three minutes.



"Please... I'd need five at most for something for them to really be scared of."

[Ourania's character flails in the air before trying to recover. Her character fumbles it due to their nature and makes a dent in the raft.]

"Whipped cream and dessert pranks are for when I feel like doing uncomplicated things. As for my best... well... Father was quite surprised when the court he called was adjourned quickly due hordes of spiders suddenly appearing under the seats of all the major guildmasters and nobles."

[There was a grin on her lips as she said it.]

[actuallyselfish]

"Whew," Dido says, colored impressed. "That's leagues beyond what my bro and sis did...and they once bribed private security to tag me with laser pointers from the skyscraper across the way..."

Dido's character rushdowns her way in, trying to coup-de-grace Ourania's avatar off the raft with a stomping kick!

"Hopefully this doesn't offend you," Dido says suddenly. "But it sounds liek you're father was kind of a neglectful butthead..."

[not_a_prize]

"He's a good king... and a terrible father. Simple as that."

[Ourania has her character roll away... which incidentally due to her landing ended with Dido breaking the raft and all but sending all parties involved into the drink.]

-RING OUT. DRAW.-

"As for your siblings... they're rather incompetent and lazy. No offense meant. Better to annoy others with your own work rather than have someone else do it for you. Takes the fun out of it."

[Peola mumbles something along the lines of "Please don't have her start an interplanetary prank war Dido."]

[actuallyselfish]

"Keep in mind contract killers have gone after my family from time to time, and you'll understand why those laser dots made me nervous..." Dido points out.

"But let's not talk about family!" She adds, adjusting her controller grip. "Not when they're so far away...let's talk about how I'm gonna BUST YOU BOTH in the next round!"

As the stage resets, Dido's demon swordsman swings it's jagged rusty blade around. "Tremble in the Fear... of my Abyss!" It proclaims.

How do the Nefless sisters respond to this challenge?

[not_a_prize]

... You know its probably not a good idea to play this game around Mizuki.

[Peola glances at her sister.]

Truce?



"... Well... Alright."

[Ourania has a small grin on her face as both sisters characters rush the demon swordsman, Ourania's jester leaping into the air and flapping his arms like a bird as he seeks to divebomb Dido's character while Peola just settles for an outright charge!]
