Editing Chuubo 2-1 (section)

===SCENE START===
* Rinley pokes at her food.  "I shouldn't have ordered the Mystery Meal.  It's too much mystery."<br>
<Natalia> to Eduard: "So where you find the sneaky snale?"<br>
<Jasper> (age at this point?)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> The waiter, that one creepy guy with the halo of glittering glass shards that's always behind him from whatever angle you look at him from, passes by.  "Anything I can help you with?"<br>
<Natalia> (12-13?)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> (Eleven or so.)<br>
* Dulcinea passes by looking gothier than usual<br>
<Rinley> "May I please have some more water and a large bottle of hot sauce?"<br>
<Hisui> "You should order traditional foods. You know what you're getting when you order traditional."<br>
<Jasper> "Dulcy.  Been a while since I've seen you..."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> The waiter, who seems vaguely offended at anyone looking gothier than he does, seems to concentrate for a moment, and his halo gleams with red and purple light.  Then he looks back at you.  "What was that?  Water and... what?"<br>
<Rinley> "Hot sauce, please."<br>
<Natalia> "May I have a juice?"<br>
<Dulcinea> The spider is carrying her bag.<br>
* Rinley sighs at Hisui.  "But where's the adventure in that?"<br>
<Dulcinea> "Jasper. Long time."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> The waiter is a sixteen-year-old, whose father is the principal of your school.  He drives a motorcycle, is considered vaguely cool but a but creepy, and no blood drips from his hands unless he's recently gotten cut or something.<br>
<Hisui> "Save the adventure for dessert."<br>
<Jasper> "How's the spider?  Seems less plushy than I remember"<br>
<Rinley> "Oh! I shall make sure to order it then!"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> The waiter returns with hot sauce and water.  "Uh, what kind of juice was that, ma'am?"<br>
* Natalia half minded start doing some trigonometry exercices<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo hops up into the booth next to Rinley, and then winces from the still-healing wounds.<br>
<Natalia> "Apples or orange, I like both"<br>
<Hisui> "..."<br>
<Dulcinea> "Necessary. Some of the stuffing got replaced with necrotissue."<br>
* Hisui pushes her plate away when she sees the waiter's hands.<br>
<Rinley> (His hands aren't bleeding.)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> (He doesn't have blood dripping from his hands.  That's his dad, the Principal, Entropy Senior.)<br>
* Rinley covers her mystery meal with lots of hot sauce!  <br>
* Hisui pulls her plate back and blushes at her wild imagination.<br>
<Rinley> "Ah, Prince Fujimoto!  You look like you are doing much better!"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> (A few months later, according to him, his dad will call him to his office, hand him his clothes which are bloodstained and have knife holes in them, and then vanish up the chimney for an unspecified reason.)<br>
<Hisui> (Lord Entropy II is evil Santa?)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Rinley, Hisui, this girl looks a bit like someone you used to know.  But she... dropped out, or moved, or something.  Something plausible.  And anyway it's a coincidence and you've never met this girl before<br>
<@Random_Nerd> (Kinda!)<br>
<Natalia> still doing the paperwork "so Prince Eduard, how you track the snake?"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> He stops by Dulcinea's table.  "And anything else for you?"<br>
* Hisui whispers to Rinley, "Do you know them?"<br>
<Dulcinea> "Burger. Side of flies for my companion."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "So, this is Rinley, the one I was telling you about!  She's sisters with... uh... someone important, and someone scary."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "And she's seen the snake too!"<br>
<Rinley> "Oh, my manners!  "Hisui Watatabe, Prince Eduard Fujimoto.  Prince Fujimoto, Hisui Watatbe of the Watatbe Shrine.  And...your strangely familiar friend who I have never seen before but somehow know?"<br>
<Dulcinea> (Is that a euphemism?)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "Watanabe?  The ones with the scary candy?"<br>
<Natalia> "I'm hunting the snake and I'm Natalia Koutolika from Russia"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Entropy 2: "Flies?"<br>
<Hisui> "Hello...your....highness?"<br>
<Hisui> "Oh, yes! Would you like a candy?"<br>
* Dulcinea points to the spider.<br>
* Hisui digs one out of her pockets<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "Grace.  Non-ruling rat Princes are 'your Grace'."<br>
<Jasper> (have we set the weather for the scene yet?)<br>
<Rinley> "Please, join us! Shall we call you a waiter for your meals?"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Entropy 2: "Ah... I'll see what I can do."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> (We have not!)<br>
<Jasper> (then it's a gloomy cloud cover day, perfect for a shot of Jasper imagining what trying to be the Sun is like)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> He glides off serenely.  Overworked waiters should not look that stylish.  Clearly he's cheating.<br>
* Rinley is too young to sigh over him yet.  Tough luck, Entropy-kun.<br>
* Dulcinea is observing the rat in an overly scientific manner.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Dulcinea, from what you can tell, the rat appears to have several lacerations, neatly bandaged, and a dislocated shoulder.  His eyes are slightly bloodshot, and from them and the exposed bits of his skin, you suspect that he was recently poisoned or drugged.<br>
* Hisui makes some space at the table.<br>
* Dulcinea stands and goes over to the rat.<br>
* Natalia wait that the prince is seated<br>
* Dulcinea grabs his head in order to get a better view of his condition.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Entropy Jr. brings a bowl of flies to your previous table, next to your spider.  One fly begins to try to leave the bowl, but then he glares at it and it returns and shivers.<br>
<Hisui> "Ah!"<br>
<Natalia> "Wait Dulcinea, you can hurt his grace"<br>
<Rinley> "What are you doing?"<br>
<Dulcinea> "'His grace' is already hurt."<br>
<Natalia> "you can hurt him ''more''"<br>
<Dulcinea> "Did that snake bite you?"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "Not... not full on.  I was scraped, but not pierced.  Because of her!" He points at Rinley.<br>
<Dulcinea> "I think you were pierced. And envenomed."<br>
<Natalia> "and where you fight?"<br>
<Hisui> "Which was because of her? The not piercing or the injury?"<br>
* Rinley thinks it through for a minute but thinks that the rat isn't accusing her of scraping him but actually saying that she saved him.  She eats some of her meal.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "The first one! I had to fight the Snake! It was my destiny to face and defeat it!"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "Uh... that didn't actually work.  I'm still figuring that part out."<br>
<Rinley> "It still is your destiny!  You did not die, so, you get another try!"<br>
<Hisui> "Is that how it works?"<br>
<Dulcinea> "Don't bet on it."<br>
<Natalia> "You know wher the snake lair is?"<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "It's a Mystery of the Far Roofs.  Like her family!"<br>
<Dulcinea> "You show all the signs of poisoning.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "I'm shaking it off, but it takes a while."<br>
<Dulcinea> "Considering all the spiders in my place, I should know."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Off at your table, your spider munches on flies.<br>
* Rinley waves at Dulc's spider.  Who has grown so much.  *sniffle*<br>
* Rinley looks a little embarassed at the mention of her family.  Silly older siblings, have to be sooooo ''special''.<br>
<Dulcinea> How's the rat look? Is he gonna die soon?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> He's getting better, not worse.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> But it's going to be a while before he's up to fighting any mysterious snake-spirits.<br>
<Natalia> (brb)<br>
* Hisui offers a candy to Prince Eduardo<br>
<@Random_Nerd> He accepts it with both hands and a grave bow.<br>
<Dulcinea> "You are in no shape to fight anything, much less snakes."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Rats do, after all, have hands rather than paws.  I mean, they aren't ''mice''.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Entropy Jr. puts Dulcinea's hamburger next to her on the table.<br>
* Dulcinea munches her burger...<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "I would ask how your family makes these out of that stuff, but if I did that I'd have to ask Rinley how her siblings do... the thing that they do.  And I'm afraid she'd ''tell'' me."<br>
* Rinley sulks.  "Don't know yet.  I'm not 'old enough'."<br>
<Jasper> (smart rat)<br>
<Hisui> "I've been sworn not to share the recipe outside of the family, anyway."<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Eduardo: "So... creepy girl with the book, Rinley, do you two know each other?"<br>
<Natalia> (back)<br>
<Dulcinea> "Well... it's been a while."<br>
<Rinley> (Does Natalia still have her mom?)<br>
<Natalia> (Natalia don't lose the mom)<br>
''<Jasper> (I think I should sign off now.  Falling asleep -_-; This time zone sucks for this game :p)''<br>
<Rinley> (Drat.  I was going to say that wow, we've all lost our moms.)<br>
''<Hisui> (take care!)''<br>
''<@Random_Nerd> (See you next week!)''<br>
''<Natalia> (bb Jasper!)''<br>
* Jasper Quit
''<@Random_Nerd> (Hmm.  Mind if we stop it here?)''<br>
''<Hisui> (That's fine.)''<br>
''<Rinley> (I'm good with that.)''<br>
''<Natalia> (is an ok stop place)''<br>
