She's not repulsed by me either! I'm not ugly! If I wanted to date her I'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult!

[ She thinks that's true anyway. ]

She was just shocked as I was that people apparently think we are dating! I have more important things to do right now than kissing Matoi!

O...kay. [Now even Scuttlebutt was getting a little confused.]

So... you're not repulsed, but you're not attracted... you're just both... neutral?

I just mean... I had never really looked at her like that! She's my beet friend's sister! That would be weird!

[ And yet since dancing with her, seeing her actually in a pretty dress, Nonon's been having strange thoughts. ]

I agree! Sure it would've! Yeah...

[pause]

--Okay, how's this?

"Nonon Jakuzure and Ryuko Matoi were seen having a brief fight at a local cafe. After a brief flare up, the situation was de-escalated and both were soon seen talking in a calm manner. Nonon Jakuzure has reported they have both been relocated to Cerealia from the same world and adjusting to daily life here has been 'weird.'"

...how's that sound? Kahk-kahk-kahk.

Hey!! Only I can say it would be weird!!

[ Oh so now she's defensive about her relationship with Ryuko? ]

What's the point of even writing that? People are just going to ask more questions!!

Kahk-kahk-kahk! It's called "the news!"

Are you sure you're not too close to this story? It almost sounds like you're influencing it.

[ Nonon's thinking this is a good strategy to get Myriam off her back. ]

Sss, sss, sss. I'm just a journalist. I report, you both decide!

Besides, anything this article says about this event would be the full unmitigated truth. Surely there's no problem with a newspaper printing the truth, now, is there?

It's hardly something worth reporting about, is it? There's a high school yakuza boss here, a girl who became a lawyer in highschool, or hell, even I'm a prodigal musician and I haven't even gone to graduated yet!! Why's my love life so important as news?!

I'd rather you just print the lies I tell you to.

Well, Miss Nonon, aren't you selling yourself a bit short? You're something of a celebrity... sss, sss, sss, sss.

[She recognized the description of Athena, but no need to tip her hand and reveal her source]

[ Well, okay, yes, she does like being center of attention, and yes, Myriam did just all too easily win her over by calling her a celebrity, but the problem still stands that she doesn't know what she thinks of Ryuko. She's Satsuki's sister, and her gut instinct is that dating her is the stupidest thing in the world, but that doesn't actually make her feel any more at ease. ]

Celebrity or not, why would you think that I want who I may or may not be romantically interested in broadcast to the entire colony here?

...Though I guess I can thank you and your stupid coconspirator for not trying to say I had some kind of crush on a gross guy.

[she sighed]

--You're missing the lede, Nonon. I'm not reporting on your love-life! I'm reporting on this violent outburst, in a public place, of which you were the victim? Kahk-kahk-kahk.

At any rate, I think I've got all the necessary information I need for this article: how's your own column coming along...?

At least you figured out that I was the victim. Matoi is the one who flew off the handle, as if us dating was the worst thing in the entire world.

[ She just rolls her eyes. ]

It's coming. I'll send you the first draft in a little while. Don't worry, I never miss a deadline.

Well, of course! As evidenced with how she wiped the floor with you. "Dragged you like a caveman," and such.

[Oh good, she wouldn't have to cajole her further into writing it] I look forward to it! So are our readers. Sss, sss, sss.

W-What?! [ Another shrill outburst incoming. ] I was just surprised, she may have beaten me before but I'm a lot stronger now!!

Like hell is she going to be able to tear my uniform off again!

Edited (making it worse) 2015-05-26 19:59 (UTC)

[what]

...So, this is just one of many physical altercations you've had with Ryuko!

Obviously. I've fought with her a few times, but now my uniform is stronger than ever, I know I can give her a run for her money if we fought for real again.

[ No stop. ]

I... see.

Does... does Ryuko make a habit of tearing the uniforms off many people?

[ Nonon finally wisens up a little. ]

...If you want to know about her life then ask her.

M-Maybe I will!

[Scuttlebutt stumbled on a strange, strange world, apparently.]

In the meantime... Did Ryuko apologize? Do you expect or want an apology or compensation?

[ ...Yeah. Japanifornia is totally so much more normal!! ]

She apologized, though I don't see what that matters... [ She's growing more suspicious now, finally. ]

[time to swing her tone back to its usual high energy]

A happy resolution then! You know, gives a sense of closure on the whole incident. Sss, sss, sss.

Anyway... your performance is soon, right? I'll be in attendance, of course.

Yeah, closure..

[ Nonon sounds unsure about that, but refuses to go into it. ]

This Friday. Don't be late. And no cardboard box, you have to actually wear a dress to a concert, you know.

Edited 2015-05-26 23:39 (UTC)

Sss, sss, sss! A humorous pretense. I already told you, this box is a necessary tool of the trade! You going to deny me pen and paper to take notes, next?

...No, because pen and paper is a normal thing for people to have with them. Cardboard boxes on them isn't.
