[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.]

[Robin has pondered this video for a while. While she's not particularly driven to the creative arts, she certainly understands rhyme scheme and thinking about it is a distraction at any rate. Finally if you look at the video you will see a cat holding this note]

Luceti, Luceti, all year round
Malnosso try to crush us down
But through the terror and pain
Like zombies vengeful ghosts we rise again
And then one day, sink or swim
We'll tear those creatures limb from limb

Action ~woot

[spohkh]

[Spock was in 'his' room meditating... (by 'his' he means the guest room at Lupin's apartment... ) when he heard the singing... He had heard of Miss Fujiko and had assumed that it was her and decided to leave her alone....

However...

When he caught the distinct smell of 'burning' he decided he needed to intervene in the case of compromised safety.
Spock quietly entered into the hallway.. since he did not want to alarm her he decided to make his presence known..]

Miss Fujiko Mine?

[Video] 1/2

[doubleppk]

[Oh.

Her.

fucking.

God.]

[Black cat from hell just wrote the spookiest damn lyrics ever.]

[alsdijoia5ohiQUGarj3oiarjap3i5rjoq3i5jolqi5hjsljaskjdhqURHQ46THWAHKR]



[Sorry Robin. Fujiko is trying her best not to look terrified.]

[Video] 2/2

[doubleppk]

[And failing.]

[Okay Fujiko. No big deal. The Malnosso turned you into a wolf once. Clearly this is just a similar situation. Probably. Unless it's just genuinely a demon black cat from hell that just has an affinity for writing CREEPY AS FUCK ghost lyrics!!!]

[alijeaoi4rjoiiladkjalihurtaHLFdaHwukerhawukhsd]

[One problem at a time. DEEP BREATH. And in a very quiet timid voice--]

Um are you normally a cat?

[Not that she knows what she's going to do if the cat isn't... or is... either way, it doesn't solve the problem that this is now a whole new phobia. Fuuuuuu...]

Those lyrics were very... inventive. [Good. They're good. And if it wasn't from a cat she'd say they were the best. God damn cats.]

[Video]

[toujourschatte]

[she seems terrified. It is not a good sign then, that Robin wants to continue to frighten her. She really should resist the temptation. It would be cruel. Well perhaps.... She write's a bit.]

No. I am usually Nico Robin. Hello, Trap-san.

[Just don't mind the third eye appearing on her forehead. It's natural. Really]

Action ~ paaartay \o/

[doubleppk]

No worries! Everything's under control! Sorry for disrupting... whatever you were doing.

[She's got a pan lid over whatever had been smoking, and now it's just making whistling tea kettle sounds. Oh yeah, that sounds safe. Kindly note; she shows no fear. Except of the demon cat above. Fuck her life. At least not of the imminent possible explosion or maybe burnt hole in the carpet.]

[Video] 1/3

[doubleppk]

[Screams.]

[Video] 2/3

[doubleppk]

[God damn it Robin. EVEN HUMAN that is some freaky shit. As a cat... no there is nothing scarier Fujiko can conceive of. Maybe it was skeletal.]

[Anyway she bites a knuckle to try to hold back the screams and would-be terror.]

Malnosso? [Hey no easy feat around knuckles in her mouth. She's not Zoro, okay?]

[Video] 3/3

[doubleppk]

[Okay. She will take her hand out of her mouth and hopefully thinks won't start getting more surreal around her. She can do without getting sucked into mirrors or whatever post-Halloween trauma the universe and karma just has to have in store for her.]

Oh, well they're very nice lyrics. Want to take over writing the song?

Although I guess it'd be hard as a cat.... Ahahahahhahaha.... [Yeah that laugh is not fooling anyone. A little too high-pitched and forced. Yikes.]

Re: Action... oh my... so much illogical!

[spohkh]

[Spock raises an eyebrow as he identifies the smell....]

May I ask why you were utilizing...potassium nitrate and... sulfur? [Gunpowder?]

Re: Action... rawr ;)

[doubleppk]

For an earring. To weight it properly.

[Depending how good Spock is at telling apart lies; that was a lie. At least the weight. Still, she sells it pretty convincingly with body language. And gives a small grin.] Guess I used too much! [Yes.... that's why it ignited.]

Re: Action /facepalm

[spohkh]

....That is illogical. It would be safer to utilize lead, chrome... or stainless steel.

[Spock is... surprised. They have not yet been properly introduced, yet she acts like this is not a factor...

Spock bows his head a little in greeting...]

My apologies for not introducing myself properly... I am Spock. Mister Lupin has been generous in allowing me to stay in the guest room.

Action >B)

[doubleppk]

No, I didn't have enough of that to spare and lead's too heavy for earrings. Maybe sand next time...

[Holds out her hand gracefully! Mwahahahah.] Enchante. I'm Fujiko Mine, charmed I'm sure. Any friend of Lupin's and we're bound to get along.

[... oy vey. Don't even ask me to dissect all the lies in it, just know it's more lies. She's being nice and kind of charming though. Yay?]

Re: Action you horrible horrible person! I love it! XD

[spohkh]

[....what a fascinating human... ]

[Spock glances at the hand and gives an internal sigh. Making sure his shields are in place he gently takes hold of her hand and like a true gentleman, bends at the waist and places a light kiss there.]

He lets go as soon as it is polite to do so and straightens once more, hands behind his back.]

May I inquire as to how you were using the gunpowder as an added weight? [Spock is a scientist, and curious... good luck explaining.]

Re: Action OTL I ALWAYS FEEL GUILTY SHE'S SO BAD orz but I'm glad you love it ;;

[doubleppk]

[Blushes and blinks at that. SOMEHOW she didn't actually expect it to work, but she's all kinds of pleased that it did. Oh yes Mr. Spock, you're going to be fun.]

To keep it from swiveling around too much. Hang on. [Fans that pan lid to get rid of the excess smoke and picks up the large ball-like earring. It's clearly segmented, with rings on the outside that partially swivel and wobble, but nearly enough for a full axle rotation. Aesthetically it makes shimmering look. The earring's match, however has a different purpose, so don't touch unless you want some nasty cuts. They do externally match, however.]

See the inside ball? It's hollow so I needed to weigh it down with some powder or sand so that it wouldn't all swivel too much. How was I supposed to know Lupin kept gunpowder in the same drawer as talcum powder? [Sure. Blame it on Lupin. Why not? Have a cute attempt for an innocent pout. So innocent.]

Action - never worry m'dear, Spock can handle it. XD

[spohkh]

[There it was, Spock had a feeling something was 'off' about Miss Fujiko....Spock had been in the apartment for quite some time now... he knew Lupin was meticulous in where he kept his 'prized' weapon and its ammo.]

A rather interesting device Miss Fujiko... who or what were you planning on using it on?

[Spock did not know if this person was a threat... however, if her and Lupin lived together... he could trust her.
There was amusement in his eyes....]

Action - yaaaay XD

[doubleppk]

[Oh. She's a little more flushed now at getting caught. Stupid Lupin always befriending people like Zenigata. It's like he enjoys making his own life (and everyone else's) difficult or something. Oh wait, that's right, he does.]

Just in case of emergencies. [Pout. Pout. Pout.] Went off early anyway. Too much friction around the pin holding it together.

Re: Action :3

[spohkh]

[Spock leans forward and inspects the frying device in the pan... ]

May I commend your attempt at such an effective device utilizing only what was readily available? However, I will make a suggestion...

Perhaps it would be more effective if you used nitrocellulose on the pin? That should effectively prevent the friction and prove useful in the detonation process.

[Spock assumes you know what he is talking about... nailpolish of course.]

Action >:3

[doubleppk]

[Fortunately... you're in luck. Fujiko may act like a ditz, but times like this, this is what trips her up. Because she does actually realize what that means.]

Whoa... Sneaky! That's perfect! Here watch this for a second, please? [And she bounds off to return seconds later carrying a vial of red nailpolish. Her mun appreciates the translations though as not a chemist.] This should do, you think?

Re: Action <3

[spohkh]

[Spock's eyebrows have vacated to his hairline as Fujiko runs enthusiastically to her room to procure her nail polish.....]

Indeed, but be sure to give it ample time to dry....

However...[And here Spock lightly grabs her forearm before she applies the nail polish...]

May I ask what your intentions are of such a device?

[video]

[idealism]

[Tsuzuki waits until she's done singing before he begins to clap briefly.]

I'd help out, but writing lyrics isn't my strong point.

[He looks more closely at the video, noticing belatedly the smoke coming from her invention.]

...What are you doing?

Action <3333

[doubleppk]

[Arches her own eyebrows at the arm grab and then furrows her brow and pouts again.]

For emergencies. Really.

[That is the truth. It doesn't say who, or when, or what kind of emergency, but then, it's an emergency, so who can know what kind until it happens?]

Re: Action <3333333333333

[spohkh]

[Spock can tell that Miss Fujiko is hiding something... However....]

It is for your own protection correct?

[video]

[doubleppk]

[Happy would-be blush~! And she bows her head briefly in thanks!]

No worries. Maybe someone else will step up, hm?

I'm making earrings. [Cute grin! Isn't she so sweet and innocent? Isn't she?]

Action <33333333333333333333333333333333333333 /has a heart attack

[doubleppk]

If you really must know; it's a smoke bomb. To help give a few seconds to get away. I know the droids aren't going to be much affected, but it might come in handy other times.
