[Closed] Gunpla 101

[vintage_magic]

Characters: Keroro and Lily Ivory
Location: Metokkori R/Hikan Cafe
Rating: G
Time: July 24, morning
Description: Before the sandstorm, Keroro made Lily promise to build a Gundam model kit with him. Things have been a bit crazy since then but the alien frog hasn’t forgotten and he’s making the witch make good on her promise.



[A lot had happened since that day a few weeks ago when Lily saw Keroro with his model kits in the park. The sandstorm, cleaning up afterwards, being a Weapon for a week, and all of the strange things that had appeared in the city. That pinky promise she had made with the alien to build one of those models when she had time had been pushed to the back of her mind like an old trunk of clothes shoved into an attic corner.]

[But Keroro hadn’t forgotten and insisted on having her put together one of those strange plastic toys. (Or making her swallow a thousand needles…)]

[So, this morning she opened Yesterday’s Magic, leaving it in her employees’ care, and then climbed the stairs to the third floor where the alien ran his shops.]

Keroro?

[With a little help from a pair of tweezers, of course!]

Don't try to pick them up with your hands, de arimasu. You'll just get it stuck on yourself and ruin the adhesive, de arimasu.

[vintage_magic]

Then, how do you do it?

[Lily looks doubtfully at the tiny stickers again and then pushes the sheet towards him.]

...Um, maybe you should do this part since you've had more practice.

[starfruitfrog]

Don't be silly, de arimasu. There's no point if you don't finish it on your own, de arimasu.

[Pushes it back in her direction because you couldn't truly say you had built a Gunpla until you were still finding tiny stickers stuck onto random places months after you had finished your build.]

[vintage_magic]

Um, okay.

[And forgetting what he said a minute ago about not trying to pick the stickers up with her hands, she attempts to pull one of the larger ones off the sheet with her fingers. Where did this go anyway?]

[starfruitfrog]

[Sadly, there are no doubles for the bigger stickers, and this one is threatening to tear in half....]

Kero! Not like that! More gently!

[vintage_magic]

Um, okay... [He sure seems to be getting much too excitable over stickers! But she slows down, tugging more gently. And puts it on the model where it belongs although it comes out a bit crooked.]

[starfruitfrog]

[Crookedness gives it character so he won't get on her case about that.]

Exactly! Good job, de arimasu! It's a bit crooked and if it were me I'd probably take it off and redo it but for a first attempt, you did really well, de arimasu.

[vintage_magic]

It is? [Lily looks at it again.] I can't really tell...

[Oh, well. She'll keep going with the stickers. A couple of the others come out a hair crooked too.]
