[ OPEN ] Farewell My Beautiful Summer

[nolicenseyet]

Characters: Keroro, Eve and anyone else in Metokkori R and the Hikan Cafe
Location: the Hikan Cafe and Metokkori R
Rating: G...unless you bring something higher with you.
Time: August 15th and onwards!
Description: Let's send off summer in style! And by that we mean parfaits.

For a while now, some flyers have been floating around advertising the Hikan Cafe's 'Farewell My Beautiful Summer Extravagenza!'. On it there are the silhouettes of ten parfaits with a large question mark on each. There's one more on the bottom with the words, 'NOMINATE A CHALLENGER!' written on top in bright and bold letters.

Besides that there's a date: coming to the Hikan Cafe on August 15!

When the day of the reveal finally came, the flyer on the Hikan Cafe's door was replaced with a fully coloured poster. At each table you will find a smaller, laminated copy as a special menu.

Let's enjoy the end of the summer, guys!

Fine!

[And it doesn't matter that they're in the cafe and everyone's looking over here, Keroro concentrates and a round black ball covered in buttons rolls to the floor.]

[pirateninja]

This is supposed to be a super powerful Weapon?

[She sounds skeptical as she crouches down and pokes at one of the buttons with a gloved finger, sending the ball rolling slightly.]

[starfruitfrog]

[The ball rolls back with a tap against the leg of a chair and Keroro's reflection appears in the shiny black surface.]

Yes! It's the weapon that has brought whole planets to their knees! Even when they didn't have any knees, de arimasu!

[pirateninja]

I fail to see how it would do that. This looks like it wouldn't even do as much damage as a cannonball.

[What's it even made of? She pokes it again. What does this button do?]

[starfruitfrog]

[It's just a dud.]

Stop poking me! If you're going to press a button, press one that actually does something, de arimasu. Like the Realize Button or something, de arimasu.

[It's the only one that really does anything.]

[pirateninja]

You mean that one doesn't even do anything? [Yeah, she's not impressed.] And what's the realize button?

[She presses another random button. Is it this one?]

[starfruitfrog]

It used to do....something. [But he kind of just randomly pressed buttons so he has no idea what it did.]

That just tickles. Try the one with the triangle on it. And tell me something you want me to create.

[pirateninja]

Used to do something? You mean it's broken?

[She presses the triangle button as he suggests, wondering if it'll actually do something.]

And what do you mean something I want you to create? I don't see how you're going to make even a drink like that.

[starfruitfrog]

[And what phases into existence is a bottle of milk, so frosty and fresh that droplets of water cling to the outside.]

[pirateninja]

Whoa! Where did this come from!?

[Even as wacky as the Caribbean could be at times, bottles of milk generally didn't just appear out of thin air! Morgan reaches for it, intending to pick it up and examine it. Is it real? Did that Keronian actually make it?]

[starfruitfrog]

[It's very real and has the heft of a normal bottle of milk.

If she drops it though, or tries to open it, it's going to disappear.]

[pirateninja]

[It feels real enough, the milk sloshing inside as she gives it a little shake. But when she tries to twist the cap off, it vanishes.]

What!? Where did it go!?

[starfruitfrog]

[And then the ball rolls backwards, and Keroro transforms back, hitting his head against the wall as he does. At least it doesn't seem to faze him as he pops back up, dusting himself off.]

It disappeared, of course.

[Partly because it had been tampered with. Partly because no one wanted to find out what happened to you if you drank Soul Wavelength-infused milk.]

[pirateninja]

Disappeared? That might make a good magic trick but that's not very useful as a Weapon.

[Morgan has drank scarier things before. (Have you heard what's in grog?) Not that she was actually interested in drinking the milk. She'd probably just sniffed it to see if it was really milk.]

[starfruitfrog]

That's because you didn't throw it at a Kishin Egg, de arimasu.

[pirateninja]

So, you're telling me your Weapon power to to make bottles of milk to throw at monsters?

[Nope, she's still not impressed.]

[starfruitfrog]

Of course it isn't, de arimasu. My power is to create weapons, it's just that you distracted me so I didn't.

[pirateninja]

[Morgan rolls her eyes.]

You're trying to blame that on me? If you were as great as you claim, I think you should have been able to make something more threatening than a bottle of milk anyway. Or do you just like fighting like a dairy farmer?

[starfruitfrog]

I could make something more threatening than that! I can definitely do that, de arimasu! It's because you distracted me!

[Keroro turns back into a Kero-ball.]

Now try again! Again, de arimasu!

[pirateninja]

Okay, let's see this more threatening weapon...

[And she presses the button again, completely ignoring how some of the other customers in the cafe have started staring. Is it some kind of show added as entertainment?]

[starfruitfrog]

[What appears in a shimmer of green light is....a stick. A white stick with a button on it.

It doesn't look all that impressive, actually.]

There! Quake in fear, de arimasu!

[pirateninja]

[Morgan picks it up with a raised eyebrow.]

A stick? What would you do with this? Poke the monster in the eye?

[She pokes at the Kero-Ball with one end.]

[starfruitfrog]

[The Kero-Ball jumps back ever so slightly.]

Be careful where you wave that thing, de arimasu! Point it somewhere else!

....But not at someone else. Or at your eye. And when you're sure it's safe, you can press the button.

[And a glowing sabre will materialize with an electric thrum. Seriously though, she better not be pointing that at anything when she presses it.]

[pirateninja]

And what would pressing the button do?

[Rolling her eyes, she points it at the floor and pushes the button. The beam of light appears and leaves a mark on the floor a couple of feet from Keroro.]

Whoa! This is supposed to be a sword?

[Keroro, are you mistaking her for someone from another Lucasarts title? Pirate hunters are more used to cutlasses than lightsabers!]

[starfruitfrog]

[He's going to make sure someone pays for that mark. Doesn't have to be her though. Not while she's still holding onto the sword.]

It's a beam saber, actually.
