[Fujiko's in a bad mood. Not that this is unusual per se, but at least when there were crazy things running around she had things to take her frustrations out on. Now she's low on bullets, and in a foul mood.]

Everybody leaves. [BANG!]
Why bother. [Bang bang bang!]

Che. And I finally got my iPod charged to show him... [But she doesn't seem too thrilled.]

Lupin you stupid... All men! All men are just--! [A couple more shots and then finally a sigh as she sits down with a frown and realizes that her journal's been recording. And forces a grin.] Hey~ Anyone in Luceti feel like cooking something good? I don't think I can take another day of finger sandwiches and oatmeal.

[ooc: Feel free to interrupt her shooting (seeing as there's nothing she's shooting *at.*) She won't hit anyone with them, but you can yell at her recklessness nonetheless. After this post/later this evening she'll be mallynapped off-screen. Feel free to find Thompson machine gun casings everywhere.]

Hmph. [You're running him in circles, aren't you, Fujiko? He feels he is wasting his time.] There is clearly more to it than that.

[doubleppk]

Nope~ Always mad at Lupin, ne?

Fine fine. This place just seems to be missing something is all.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

It is missing many things. [A vague statement in a non-ridiculing, matter-of-factly tone.]

[doubleppk]

[Small pause. EW SHE AGREES WITH GOEMON. END OF THE WORLD. But no, it's okay. That is bound to happen.]

Y-yeah.

Are you um, settling in okay? Finding everything and stuff? Not that I care. [She does not care about you, if you think that she will shoot at you just to prove it.] Just you know. So I know where to avoid. [Or stalk. Whichever.]

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

I am fine. [She could have left it at "finding everything and stuff", and it would have been perfectly alright.] I will hope it is some time before another one of the Malnosso's "experiments" occur.

[doubleppk]

[As if Fujiko could leave it there.]

They're not that bad. I mean you were just in the last one. Or I guess they're saying that was an "accident" but they tend to be like that. But less fun. Valentine's Day is the worst.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

Mn. [He seems genuinely disinterested in knowing what makes Valentine's Day particularly awful in Fujiko's book.] ...I was told that these experiments do not get better with time.

[doubleppk]

That depends on your idea of "better." Some of the early ones involved earthquakes or floods, but some of the recent ones were just weird. Turning people into things they like, or making fake families of them and making everyone think they were married or had kids or whatever.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

I see.

[If there is anything he has learned since arriving, it is that life here is especially unpredictable. One can only hope the next mishap is tolerable... although, of course, this conversation very much reveals that 'tolerable' is relative.]

2/2

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

The Malnosso toying with people's lives... it is unforgivable.

[doubleppk]

Well obviously. They're doing that whole mad scientist thing. But way more competently.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

[Surely you are more accustomed to the business of these scoundrels, Fujiko, but Goemon will remain indignant even if he knows that his anger is fairly powerless against the Malnosso.]

... [A grim silence is his response.]

[doubleppk]

[Yes. Yes she is. And she just watches Goemon for a bit.]

You... you didn't hear this from me... but try talking to Japan. He might make you feel more at home in this place... you know? He's a short swordsman otaku, but he's not so bad. [You know... for being a personification of their country :|] Maybe he can explain some things better too.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

Talking to 'Japan'? [Obviously this is not computing. Consequently, he's a couple of steps behind Fujiko's thought process.] ...There is someone here by that name? [This wouldn't be the strangest thing in Luceti, of course, but it surprises him nonetheless.]

[doubleppk]

Yes. And he at least thinks he embodies Japan's spirit... you know... the whole country. [Shrug.]

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

[Goemon cannot help but lift an eyebrow at this, however slightly. From the way Fujiko describes this man, his initial impression is that the fellow may be a liiiittle delusional. However, the samurai will maintain a cool politesse and reserve full judgment until he has spoken to this "Japan" at some point.] ...

[doubleppk]

[Fujiko set Goemon up to meet someone delusional... like that would never happen a dozen times.]

You'll have something in common I'm sure.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

We will see. [He replies, with a tone of finality.]

[doubleppk]

So what have you been doing anyway?

[You know... now that you have your sword back :|]

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

Nothing of interest to you. [This would be very likely true.]

[doubleppk]

Ehhh... Goemon... don't be so boring. [Pouts.]

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

My purpose is not to entertain anyone.

[doubleppk]

Oh well then bravo, you're succeeding.

[samurinjathief.livejournal.com]

[Without the slightest sense of regret, Goemon then decides to close his journal rather than respond, tucking it away into his hakamashita. Problem solved...? He was growing weary of the exchange.]
