Weirdo.

[ Nonon laughs, just a little bit. ]

I gotta go, Athena wants to meet with me. Call me later sometime, especially if you learn anything new.

[shikisha]

Does she even know you like him? Knowing her I'd imagine she'd storm over to his place and start growling at him about how better never break your heart or something.

[ It sounds like what Ryuko would do to her anyways. ]

[psycholawgy]

N- No! You're like, the second... person to find out.

If she ever does that, though, I think Simon would cut her hands off.

[shikisha]

[ She shrugs. ] They will just grow back.

[ Ryuko is practically immortal after all. ]

Well then I can say I'm glad that you trusted me enough to tell me. Here Ryuko thought you hated me. [ She's just teasing. Mostly. ]

[psycholawgy]

If I hated you, I think you'd know right away.

[ Is she joking? Probably not. ]

[shikisha]

Oh? Are there any people you hate here?

[ Somehow she's still amazed Athena doesn't hate Archer...... ]

[psycholawgy]

It's difficult to hate a person...

And there's no one here that I do, I think. [ A beat. And she looks out the window. ] I hope they never get saved.

[shikisha]

It's a lot easier than you think.

[ It's easy for her to hate Ragyo, Ryuko's mother. For all too many reasons.

That little comment makes her sit forward. ]

Huh? Who are you talking about?

[psycholawgy]

[ Her voice is quiet when she responds: ]

Those who believe that the ends justify the means. Those who participated in the Dark Age of the Law...

[shikisha]

[ Nonon stays silent. She knows that Ryuko would agree with Athena, but Nonon doesn't. Because Satsuki had asked Nonon and the others to do difficult things in order to further their plans. Hurting people all in the name of growing stronger so they could kill Ryuko's mother.

So she'll try to change the subject. ]

I guess that tour with CERES ended up being more interesting than I expected.

[psycholawgy]

Tell me about it...

A fish tried to eat me, though. I don't ever want that to happen again.

[shikisha]

A fish?! Just how big was it?

[ Nonon pulls back a little, trying to picture that. ]

[psycholawgy]

A really giant one!

[ she moves her hands in a circular motion, but it doesn't even begin to describe how accurate the size is. ]

Like, a whale!

[shikisha]

So then it was a whale and not a fish!

[ Why'd she say fish if she just meant whale?! ]
`
Where the hell did you find a whale?

2/5 audio;

[cardboard_journalism]

Nonon? Scuttlebutt here. Sss, sss, sss.

How're you doing? Find out any new info about you-know-who? I've been poking around, but come with up with a whole lotta nothin'...

Anyway give me a call back sometime.

--Oh yeah, your pencil erasers came in at the shop. I'm holding them for you.

[click]

[psycholawgy]

It was definitely a fish the size of a whale!

[shikisha]

I know who is it, I can see on the caller ID.

[ She's not in the greatest of moods, as she hasn't been since Ryuko went away. ]

Nothing. I haven't seen anything from Harime at all, she might just be licking her wounds though. And no luck with any of the police yet.

...Bring them to me when you take me to dinner.

[shikisha]

[ Nice face there Athena. Nonon just waves her hand, accepting what she says as the truth for now. ]

So again, where did you find it? Did they have a big tank in the office or something?

[cardboard_journalism]

Well, maybe, but how would you know it wasn't someone who just stole my phone-thing from me!?

Y-yeah, the police aren't helping. Kahk kahk kahk...

Fine! Howabout tonight?

[shikisha]

...Don't be dumb.

I didn't expect them to. CERES is completely useless. Tonight is fine. I'll see you there at the park at 7pm?

[cardboard_journalism]

I'm serious! It could happen!

Sounds good to me! Also don't forget your next article tomorrow.

[shikisha]

You expect me to want to write something? Now?

[ Nonon couldn't help but think she had better things to do. Even though she just agreed to dinner. ]

I'll see you tonight. [ And move to action? ]

[cardboard_journalism]

Yes. A deadline's a deadline. The world could end, and the paper still needs its music section.

All right, see you there.

[and... action?]

[shikisha]

Yeah, yeah..

[ Except when her musical section writer is still dealing with getting her girlfriend free from jail!! She's barely even done any work at her actual job..


But she will make it there a few minutes late, dressed warm, likely spotting the other girl pretty easily, assuming she's in a box. ]

[cardboard_journalism]

[SHE IS, did you really expect anything else]

[she's holding a steaming cup of something in her hand]

Oh, Nonon! Looks like I got here before ya.
