1.[In the middle of the night, you get up for some reason-maybe you're really hungry, or you've been sick, or you're a really light sleeper and catch the noise-noise, because when you wake up, you'll notice a girl standing in the room, and some of your stuff's been moved about.]

...um...


2. [For whatever reason, you've ended up at Eva's apartment for the night-probably, someone wanted to check it out, and she just didn't bother to say no. Whatever the reason, it's sparse. No art, no furniture other than a single pillow and lamp, and nothing in the kitchen to eat but stocks of frozen dinners and canned food. No TV, no internet, no phone.]

Um...if you want the pillow, you can take it...I have a second...



3.

[Or, your introduction to Eva may come during the daylight hours; she can often be seen working out, doing crunches while dangling from a pull-up bar upside down. The girl is ripped, and has two small scars on her abdomen. There's a tattoo of something on the back of her neck, but it's hard to make out with how fast she's going.]


4. [Combat! And Eva's getting her ass kicked by the gleaming white robot that some Vultures brought along to play with. In an instant of melee combat, it uses a wrist-mounted blade to slice an arm off her F-15 and kicks the TSF away.]

...
[Still, she stands to fight; the sub-arms dutifully whip out their guns, and she's firing at the white robot with three rifles in short order.]

[Ren looks around the apartment. Admittedly there is not a lot to look at.]

Thank you. So it's supposed to be a sleepover? That was not exactly my intention, but, well - I do not mind, and it is pretty late.

I see you are a follower of minimalism.

Re: 2

[brought_it_back]

I just...don't see the need, for luxuries...

[There is one other thing of note in the house-a very large safe, shoved into one corner of the main room.]

[jianai]

I find it noble to live without much in the way of material possession.

What matters is not what you have, but what is inside your heart.

[Ren decides to use the safe as a seat while saying this really cheesy line.]

[brought_it_back]

[When Eva comes back with the blankets/pillow, she sees where Ren's sitting and drops them immediately.]

You need to get off of that. Calmly, and carefully, but you need to do it right now.

[jianai]

Ah!

[The reaction causes Ren to jump a little, startled. But the troublesome guest follows Eva's instructions, getting up but without haste.]

Was this a precious memento of yours or something similar? I am sincerely sorry, I did not realize it was something not to be touched.

[brought_it_back]

No...

[She starts setting out the pillows and blankets.]

It's where I keep my weapons. There is an SMAW...um, a shoulder-mounted anti-tank weapon...

If you set off its ammunition...you'd die...

[jianai]

Oh, so that's where they all were. But just touching the container won't make the weapons explode, will it?

[Calvin had his gun out and pointed at Eva.]

And now I feel stupid for dipping the bullets in holy water.

[For the past few days everything in his place was getting moved around randomly. He figured something was haunting him. So when the various little things like devil traps under the carpets and salt lines didn't work he got the blessed bullets out.]

Who are you and WHY are you tormenting me?! Did someone at OSI send you for some kind of sick prank?!

Re: 1)

[brought_it_back]

...no...

Um...Actually...you're still asleep, so, if you could put the gun away...

[in_over_his_head]

On one hand that does sound logical, there's honestly no reason for someone like you to be creeping around my house messing with my stuff...

[Calvin does not lower his gun.]

On the other if it really was a dream you'd be some kind of ghost trying to make my life as miserable as possible... and possibly rattle chains in front of my face.

[brought_it_back]

Um...sorry...

Really...I was just curious...

[in_over_his_head]

[Calvin lets out a sigh as he thumbs the safety of his gun and lowers it... he isn't quite ready to set it down just yet. No telling if she might be a vampire or something.]

Just... why? I mean you said you were curious but how does that even tie into what you were doing.

[brought_it_back]

Um...I saw you wandering around the base, getting along with everyone and having fun...

So...I wanted to get to know you...

[majestic_keiki]

...Do you actually live here?

Re: 2

[brought_it_back]

I sure hope so. If not, the owner's going to be very mad...

Re: 2

[majestic_keiki]

Very funny.

It's just that this doesn't seem like somewhere anybody lives.

Re: 2

[brought_it_back]

...No, I suppose it does not.

I do live here, though. It has what I need.

Re: 2

[majestic_keiki]

Your needs are pretty limited...

Re: 2

[brought_it_back]

Yes...

...Kei?

Do you think I am...a person, or...something else?

[delouser]

You really don't need a maid, do you?

[brought_it_back]

Of course I do. Look at all the things there are to be cleaned.

[delouser]

I like your modernist minimalist style. That old-school louse could learn something from you.

[brought_it_back]

...Really?

[delouser]

It makes it easier for maids, at least.

[brought_it_back]

Do you want me to leave him a note?
