You have reached Oriko Mikuni; I will reply as soon as I am able.

[justforyou]

[This is before the Valentine's Day virus hits, of course. After that anonymous conversation, Kirika's not exactly feeling confident.]

Uh, you said we'd continue that conversation somewhere else... I made Oriko mad again, didn't I.

[action]

[fortheworld]

Not quite, but that was still not the place to be talking about it.

[action]

[justforyou]

I thought I was being careful...

[action]

[fortheworld]

I just wouldn't discuss private matters on a public forum! Isn't this more convenient?

[action]

[justforyou]

Oh. [Now Kirika feels like an idiot. She rubs the back of her neck.] Yeah. I like talking to Oriko and having to pretend it's not us is a pain.

[action]

[fortheworld]

Quite.

Now, am I to take it you would prefer I retired?

[justforyou]

[Kirika, as usual, is lurking behind Oriko. She's been quiet since that outburst..because Oriko didn't seem to want to talk. Since she's 'busy' 'helping' people. Like always. So Kirika is sulking in the background until...]

I made Oriko mad! Oriko hates me...!

[She starts crying. Really, this is an average day for Team Oriko...]

[fortheworld]

[OH COME ON-]

Kirika I am just busy! It's nothing like that!

[justforyou]

[BUT BUT BUT-

She sniffs loudly.]

But...!

[Why does Oriko always have to pay attention to other people when Kirika's here and starved for attention? That's something Kirika will never figure out. What is this yandere you're speaking of?]

[fortheworld]

[...Oriko sighs. Kirika's just going to keep this up until she does something about it, isn't she?

Heaven forbid people solve their own problems]

Well? What is it?

[justforyou]

[Pot calling the kettle black, there.

Kirika rubs the back of her neck.]

...I don't think people like Saber are idiots.

[fortheworld]

She is claiming to be something she is not. Is that not the very definition of idiocy?

action

[justforyou]

Yo.

[Kirika is standing in the doorway, she looks fidgety. Rubbing the back of her neck, she's not even really looking at Oriko directly.] I have something important to talk to you with, Oriko.

action

[fortheworld]

Hmm?

[it's the tone that puts her a little on edge. Something serious. Madoka? Could be]

What is it?

action

[justforyou]

Yeah.

[She says the word more to herself than to Oriko. She sighs, crossing her arms.]

It's really important, so hear me out. Do you remember the first time we met?

action

[fortheworld]

You simply introduced yourself one day.

It's quite fortunate I'd at least seen it coming. [AH, THE PRECOG DAYS...]

action

[justforyou]

I guess so, yeah.

[It's just an off-hand response. She sighs again, uncrossing her arms so she can run her hands through her hair. Kirika shifts her feet.]

But that's not the first time we met. I know you probably don't remember it--it was before either of us were magical girls.

action; dear lord I swear other people can use this post

[justforyou]

[Hello, Oriko. Drop whatever you're doing because Kirika is suddenly grabbing you by the arm.]

We're going out today! No use in arguing about it.

AHAHAHA

[fortheworld]

-Eh? [but she was about to water the plants-]

NO ONE EXPECTS THE KIRIKA

[justforyou]

[Who cares about the stupid plants? Kirika wants to go out today! And maybe have a romantic time. Or just anything that hasn't to do with fighting witches or saving the world.]

We're going out, Oriko. We're going to have a great time!

Unless it's Oriko's inbox, it seems

[fortheworld]

W-Wait-!

What spurred this on?

It's IC

[justforyou]

I don't feel like having a tea party today and I don't want to go hunt witches today. Why can't we just go out and have fun today?

voice;

[selene]

Um, Oriko-chan, it's me! Usagi! Do you have a moment?

[ Sure, she has plenty of problems of her own, but when a friend asks for help like Kirika did she can't help but go try for their sake instead all the same.. ]

voice

[fortheworld]

[Oriko's voice comes across as somewhat haggard (and possibly outside from the background noise) but still, she responds]

Yes, what is it?

[selene]

It's about Kirika-chan. She asked me to talk to you. [ Hey, Usagi is always honest, so of course she's going to be straightforward about it.. ] She said that you have her Soul Gem.
