[ 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!

[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.

[pirateninja]

A beam saber? Does that mean it's related to a beam rifle?

[She examines it, wondering just how solid it is.]

[starfruitfrog]

[It's pretty solid, and could give at least two hits before it disappeared, cutting through tables like they were made of paper.

Also he could have sworn he just heard her say beam rifle.]

You know beam rifles?!

[pirateninja]

Only because your red friend turns into one.

[She ended up working with Giroro a few times.]

[starfruitfrog]

Oh.

[Boo.]

That's all, de arimasu?

[pirateninja]

Yeah, what were you expecting?

[starfruitfrog]

That you actually knew something about Gundams, de arimasu. But obviously not, de arimasu.

[pirateninja]

What's a Gundam? Does it have something to do with this weird sword?

[starfruitfrog]

Of course it does, de arimasu! This is only the most iconic Gundam franchise weapon, de arimasu. And Gundam is a high performance mobile suit from the Gundam series, de arimasu.

Yeah, that really existed in her canon... XD

[pirateninja]

Gundam franchise? Mobile suit? What is that? [Looking over at the beam saber again...] It's not some line of kids' action figures like Porcelain Power Pirates, is it?

XD

[starfruitfrog]

Of course not! That sounds like some kind of collectible figurine for old ladies, de arimasu.
