[Fujiko is chilling out in what people might recognize as decorated pretty much like Lupin's apartment. She's singing softly to herself and tinkering with something strange, albeit mechanical.]

They tried to draft us
But we don't wanna go
The man can't keep us down
Cuz oh yeah we know....

[She pauses and gives up on the song, focusing instead momentarily on snapping a spring into place, though this gets a quiet little "banzai!" of delight. Success; whatever it was.]

Tie em, push 'em down
The Energizer Bunny
Just keeps on runnin'
But there ain't no cure
For Luceti Winter Blues

[Cute frown and a pout.] No wait, that line's terrible... [Sighs and runs a hand through her hair, then taps her little mechanics into device, which mostly just looks extremely dangerous and flashes knifes and other cutting utensils on swinging springs before she taps it it again with a pen to make it stop and settle down.]

Writing music is really hard. "But there ain't no cure --
For Luceti's Barrier Blues??" [She just shrugs.] Someone else should do this, it's too hard. Tell Elvis I quit. Anyone want to write a protest song? I am going to stick to making earrings.

[Earrings. Yes, apparently that death trap from hell she's playing with? It's an earring. Of course it is. Who wouldn't wear such death traps on their ears right next to their head and necks... it's so shiny. And then the other "earring" goes off and just starts smoking.] Uh-oh... guess I shouldn't have borrowed Lupin's gunpowder. [She's just gonna... try to blow that out.... yeah... be back shortly; experiencing technical difficulties and all that.]

... Oh.

[No wait... That's still weird!]

Why would you put some sort of explosive powder into earrings?

To weight it down so it wouldn't spin too much. I didn't realize it was gunpowder until after the fact.

[May or may not be true.]

But... why use powder at all? Aren't there better ways to weigh it down?

[Even if you didn't know it was gunpowder, that's still a little weird.]

Not really, it can't be too heavy because of the size of the earrings already, but if I left it hollow it would spin too much.

I see... I'm glad I never bothered with earrings.

Well, they don't all have to be this big, but I was trying for a different look.

I see... so you you're rather interested in keeping up with fashion?

[Well... that was something Ilyana could understand. Even if Fujiko had really bizarre ways of doing it.]

Yes! Aren't you?

Of course it's really hard here, what with all the different time periods in place, but that just means more opportunity to make up whatever we want.

It sounds like you have a lot of fun with it then.

Impossible not to. It's the advantage to everything being free.

Really? Then how do they keep producing everything?

Elsewhere? I presume they just steal it from places the same way they steal us though.

When you can play with time and space, just about anything is possible.

Oh... I suppose that's true.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that kind of technology. You could pretty much create your own world, hm? Want an apple tree? Summon a seed, fast forward time and bam!

[Fujiko should not be trusted with high level technology. Or any level really.]

Wow that's... you could become a goddess with that kind of thing, couldn't you?

[Seeing as how she's met a goddess, she would know.]

Yup! It'd be pretty fun, right?
