Characters: Nanami & Keroro

Location: Deathbucks

Rating: G?

Time: June 4th, noon-ish

Description: A frog goes out to buy lunch, and ends up meeting a princess.





[Today finds Keroro at a Deathbucks near his stores, purchasing croissants to make sandwiches out of. Lunch was one of the most important meals of the day, after all.]

Please give me two dozen croissants, de arimasu!

[That was probably more than they needed, but he was certain the extra could be made into limited edition sandwiches for the lunch rush later on. He watches as the croissants are carefully put into a bag with tongs, the person working behind the counter making sure not to accidentally crush the flaky bread.]

Unless you meet a poacher, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

[still on the floor]

P...poacher? What do they look like? Are there any here?

[starfruitfrog]

Well...I guess they look suspicious, de arimasu? But all kinds of aliens can become poachers or traffickers, so there really isn't an actual look, de arimasu.

I can promise you though, that I'm not one of them, de arimasu. So calm down and stop sitting on the floor, de arimasu. It's okay, de arimasu.

[Keroro takes a step forward to help her up (although how he intends to do that as a two foot tall frog is a mystery).]

[morecowbell]

[There's a decided frown on her face when she finds out you can't tell which aliens is are poachers. And he looked plenty suspicious to her being a small green alien frog with a hat.

She instinctively jerks back when he steps forward] N..no... I got this. [Besides, he's two feet tall, she's got a good three feet, three inches on him plus her heals. She brushes herself off with her free hand.

Um, why were you two talking about me? [She has not put two and two together yet with the princess stuff.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Just look for the aliens grinning at you veeeeery suspiciously. That's generally a pretty good indication that they're up to no good.

If she says she's got this, he isn't going to interfere.]

Because we've decided to select you and Katsuragi Yako-dono as our princesses, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

Oh. Huh? You're helping out with that?

[She's starting to rethink this whole princess business]

[starfruitfrog]

I'm the one paying for and marketing it, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

[The alien frog is paying for and marketing the event. There was so much wrong with this she doesn't know where to start]

Oh, is that so? It seems this even will be bigger than I expected.

[starfruitfrog]

[Take it up with the evil Bakura, Nanami.]

Of course, de arimasu. No sense having a tiny event, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

[That's a good idea, frog, she may just do that]

Go big or go home, huh? Well, I suppose I prefer it that way.

[starfruitfrog]

[Do it on the network so Keroro can watch.]

Good. Because you and Yako Katsuragi-dono will be at the forefront of this event, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

[She does need to use that thing more often...]

Oh yes, I recall you said there would be two a little earlier. Um, do you know anything about our roles? I didn't really ask about specifics when I signed on.

[starfruitfrog]

That would have to be something you ask the evil spirit, de arimasu. He never told me anything either, de arimasu.

[That's not suspicious at all, right?]

[morecowbell]

[And that gets an eyebrow-raise from her]

Did he tell you anything about the event at all? And do you have to keep referring to him as 'the evil spirit'?

[starfruitfrog]

Just that it was going to be live-action roleplaying, that there needed to be costumes, and some kind of grand master controlling everything, de arimasu. Apparently the princess is going to start off at a very high level, de arimasu?

[Or is he just cobbling together all of the information he only kind of remembers from the conversations he's had before with the other Bakura?]

And he's an evil spirit because he's haunting Bakura-dono, of course.

[morecowbell]

A high level? [All this nerdy info is going right over her head] No never mind, I better ask him about the details.

... he's not actually haunting him here really... [And there's the idea that she's partnering with a ghost that doesn't really sit all that well with her. She prefers thinking of him as a completely separate and human entity with some grudge issues...]

[starfruitfrog]

Yeah, I think you should, de arimasu. [Because Keroro honestly has no idea beyond that.]

Isn't he? But he never denies it when I ask him, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

[Insert frowny face here]

Well you can't actually haunt someone if you're currently not an apparition, right? So instead of haunting it would be considered sta...stalking. [okay that's really not much better]

[starfruitfrog]

But no one that BREW brings in becomes an apparition, even if they're technically dead back in their own world, de arimasu. And being a stalker is just as bad, de arimasu. Not to mention the fact that you can't exorcise a stalker, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

It is... but.. he's not a stalker... [or at least she doesn't think he is but she looks unsure...] You can get a restraining order for stalkers. This would be easier if they didn't also share a name...

[starfruitfrog]

....Doesn't he also like breaking into his apartment, de arimasu? Either way, he's a dangerous guy, de arimasu. I don't think a restraining order would have done any good, de arimasu.

[morecowbell]

What are you talking about? [stahp Keroro, she doesn't know he was/is a thief.] Look, if it was that bad, Ryou wouldn't have come of his own volition to visit Bakura while he was in the hospital.

[starfruitfrog]

Isn't that just because he's kind of too nice for his own good, de arimasu?

[Ryou is friends with Keroro, after all.]

[morecowbell]

Well if he's a glutton for punishment it's his own fault. [pot meet kettle] Bakura has been nothing but decent to me so forgive me if I can't take your word for it.

[starfruitfrog]

....Are you sure you're not just being fooled, de arimasu? Or under the influence of a ghost, de arimasu?
