[ Oh hey look they are there. At a place that literally has a terrible looking neon sign that has three frames of animation of an astronaut eating a hamburger. ]
[ Who changes the subject from what kinds of food they like?! ]
Of course it is, or else I would never let Ryuko drag me into a place this stupid looking.
[ Luckily there's no line, and it's a fairly clean place, even if it's all dressed up to look retro futuristic. Nonon doesn't even wait, stepping up to one of the touch screens to put her order in, there's no workers here, just robots. At least up front. ]
You might be disappointed that Ryuko is in jail right now, but what you did over the network was inexcusable. And it's Blackquill, Simon Blackquill. I'd appreciate it if you got his name right next time. Lastly, I hope your hangover isn't as bad as it should be.
[ this is the only text she'll be sending. if nonon responds, athena won't get back to it. ]
You won't! Unless it's because I was killed by my enemies in an attempt to silence me. In which case, I hope you will find them and publish the truth I uncovered. Sss, sss, sss!
...hey! How many times do I have to say it?! I wear this to protect my identity as an undercover reporter! You wouldn't try to conduct an orchestra without that baton, would'ya? Same deal!
I'm not cleaning up the dead body, but I suppose I can do that.
[ ...Not that she would ever believe anyone would really go so far as that. ]
Most of the things you cover are things you report on by actually talking to people. And everyone already knows the cardboard girl is you. You stand out TOO much.
And it's not the same deal! I know how to put my baton away when I'm not conducting!
Wrong. There's ten thousands way I could prove it otherwise.
[ And now her number is being called out in a robotic tone, and she goes to grab her salad, looking back at the other girl. Can we eat here or is this too public for your highness? ]
