little_thief | Case 49 - Turnabout Aftermath

[Well, it's Thursday and Kay's finally back from Westport. After more glasses of water than a human being should be able to hold, a stack of pancakes, and a long nap, she gets on the phones.]

That was really weird. Was it the town's fault this time? There were no hazmats or anything over there, and all the street signs were gone. I mean, I'm glad to be back, but I wish I knew why it happened.

...Oh well. Is everybody else okay? What happened over here while we were gone?

[Filtered to Yamamoto]

I'm starved! Want to make some sushi together later and have a date? It's been a while.

[Filtered to Ema Skye, Clone!Elizabeth, the Childlike Empress, Jessica Ushiromiya, Patchouli Knowledge, Miakis, Winry, and any of Kay's other sisbros I'm forgetting]

Okay, now that that's over, I think we've earned some relaxation time. I'm gonna see if I can kick Keiichi out of the house for a night so we can have a girls' night in. What do you guys say? Tomorrow night, after everybody's done with school and work? We can sit around in our pajamas and eat ice cream and watch crappy movies and talk about boys and stuff!

[Yeah, she's totally serious. What is being an adult.]

Anyway, let me know what you think!

((OOC: Watch for a log for this over the weekend, involved parties~))

Actually, the thought of bacon and eggs is making me kind of ill now . . .

Really? I'm still hungry.

Maybe you'd better go eat some more then. Don't let me keep you.

Ahh, it's okay, I'm gonna make Takeshi make me some sushi later tonight.

Oh, I've heard of that before! . . . I don't know. It didn't taste very good, though.

[Hot dog sushi probably wouldn't.]

Really? Are you sure they were making it right?

I'm not sure. It was the first time I'd ever seen anything like it . . . New Pork City had a lot of strange things like that.

New Pork City?

[Kay actually has to stifle a laugh at how terrible a pun that is.]

That's kind of a weird name for a city.

Isn't it? Who wants to live in a city named after meat? He should have just gone ahead and named it Porky City if he wanted to include his name.

[Lucas clearly hasn't heard of New York City yet.]

Wait... the mayor's name was actually Porky? Really?

[Oops. There is silence for a moment or two as Lucas thinks quickly. He hadn't meant to say that. But he went by Pokey here, so...]

Porky the Pig King. It's taking it a little far, right? The city was really weird, anyway . . .

Pffff...

[Wow, Kay feels like Calisto Yew over here trying not to laugh. 'New Pork City?' 'Porky the Pig King?' This is ridiculous.]

Yeah, that's taking the joke way too far! This guy must've been a real weirdo!

'Weirdo' is one way to describe it.

. . . So, um. Is it safe to guess that sushi isn't disgusting and made out of pork usually?

What? No! It's made of fish and rice!

[Lucas will contemplate that for a few moments.]

Well. There was rice. But I'm not sure it's something I'd choose to eat, still. They have it here in Mayfield?

Well, not exactly, but you can get pretty close. Takeshi's dad runs a sushi shop back home, so he knows how to make it really well.

I see. Ah, I wish I knew someone who could make the food I liked from home.

I hope the two of you have a really good time tonight.

You should ask around, I bet somebody knows how! There's people from all over the place here, after all.

And thanks! I'm really looking forward to it.

That's true, but . . . I guess I'm just picky. It's never quite the same.

Mmm... I think I know what you mean, yeah.

Anyway . . . I shouldn't complain too much.

[I had it for a few months, after all.]

Just being back in Mayfield is something to be thankful for . . .
