[It's late at night at Sakihama base. And the only people up this late should be workaholics, and those with active night lives.
So who then, is that you catch out of the corner of your eye?]

Hm... Must be around here somewhere...
[One of them is clearly female, a woman likely in and around her late thirties, but in remarkable physical form. The other...]

Did we really have to do this at night dear? If it were the day, we could at least track him back to his quarters.
[The other is practically her male counterpart, similarly aged, equally fit. He bears something of a resemblance to a certain young pilot...]
Or perhaps...
[Suddenly, he turns on his heel, and throws out a quick series of shuriken, aimed to pin an unfortunate eavesdropper to the walls by their sleeves!]

We could ask them?

Sounds like a plan. Where is Kentaro Torao's room?

(OOC: Feel free to enter this prompt from the previous by changing the prompt number when you wanna timeskip)

So... my baby boy really has become a man...

Be honest, we surprised you didn't we son?

We're looking for Kentaro Torao's place of residence. We're planning to have a little surprise wsiting for him...
[The female seems to fidget slightly in the background. As if experiencing a small, familiar feeling of dread...]

[Sadly none are currently present aside from himself. Either way the vine slowly lifts up... and taps one of the mysterious ninja on the shoulder.]
From:
no subject
J-Judas ninja?! I've never heard of such a clan... just what has my son gotten involved in?!
Dear!
[The woman draws her blade as she jumps back from the vine, and the male ninja is similarly alert as he draws his as well.]
First Mate of Captain Saber, under Admiral Blackheart, Venus! I don't know how you and your terrible tendrils came back from hell, but know this is not the beach, and we are prepared for your wicked grasp!

....Tbttthhhtttt.
'Teritus! Go get help!
Tbthhtt.
What do you MEAN I'm NOT IN DANGER!? I'm kind of hanging from a wall by those pointy metal star things like Ken has!
Tbthhhht.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY SMELL LIKE KEN!?
From:
no subject
...Ryuko, are you sure that's Venus? I remember her looking... better, than that.
Oh of course that's the first thing you remember about her...
In any case... you should listen to her.
[He's talking to Volya, pointing to Interitus.]
I mean, what child doesn't smell like their parents?
From:
no subject
[Volya's tone was rather irritated. They were becoming a faint memory until Lilica came and dragged them up and then every now and then he'd wake up crying because he could almost see their faces again. Interitus lets out a plaintive whine as it removes the shurikens pinning Volya to the wall and hands (vines?) them back politely to their owner.]
I just... ugh...
So you two are Ken's parents. Right. I think now that I'm talking to you like a sane, normal person; giant plant-dog-girl aside.
[Interitus waves happily.]
Tbthhhht.
And not pinned to the wall with throwing stars
You said you wanted to visit him or something?
From:
no subject
Oh wow, Tora. I didn't think you could be that insensitive.
Exactly how was I meant to know?! We have literally just met the boy!
Well maybe if you had bothered to ask before opening your big mouth-
Coming from the one who suggested we sneak in, rather than ask at the door? Brilliant!
[They're married.]
From:
no subject
[Volya's just going to take a deep breath and sigh as he shakes his head. Why is it that he had to have such a weird life? He felt a vine poke him in the arm.]
?
Tbthhhht.
... No.
Tbthhhhhht.
I don't even know why you'd think that's a good idea after seeing... well...
[He motions to the bickering ninjas.]
Tbbbthhhht?... Tbthhhthht?
... I'd have no idea where to even look or if its possible.
Tbhhht?
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I AGREE! I'M NOT GOING TO GROW YOU A BOYFRIEND 'TERITUS!
....Tbhhht?
I don't even know where to look for one for you either!

Anyway... Young man, would you and your... friend, be able to show us the way to our son's room? Its his birthday soon, and we're hoping to surprise him.
From:
no subject
Fine. Lets just go before someone else's parents decide to show up and hang me upside down by my ankles or something.
[And with that said, Volya begrudgingly leads the way.]
From:
no subject
So if I might ask... who are you, to our son? You seem a fair bit concerned...
Perhaps they're... connected? By a little bit of red string?
From:
no subject
[Volya being russian, doesn't understand the reference.]
Ken's a friend. Like Mizuki and Dido... and a lot of the people here in the Unity Group. I owe everyone here my life.
Even if Ken just started talking about secrets he really shouldn't have when I asked for his help in school and then left me behind to explain to my classmates about the Unity Group when they shouldn't even know about these things.
I mean he's older than me, he should know better and be more responsible! That... that Judas Ninja!
From:
no subject
I... I see. I guess leaving in the worst way possible is something inherited...
Though I must ask, what is this 'Judas Ninja' you keep referring to? Some kind of new clan?
From:
no subject
Judas was the guy who betrayed Jesus in the Bible... one of the few things I remember from it anyway.
From:
no subject
What is this... 'Bible', of which you speak?
Was what he did really so comparable to our son's actions?
From:
no subject
[Volya shook his head.]
Not really... I'm just a kid, not anyone important... Judas is the one name almost everyone associates to sell outs though...
[Either way the Russian was standing outside of a door. He knocks on it.]
He still hasn't apologized either.

If you are a friend of our son, then that makes you someone important. Though not necessarily a boyfriend, as my wife suspects.
