All the characters in this story are the creation of Akahori Satoru,
Kotobuki Tsukasa, and Rumiko Takahashi... or practically all of them,
anyway. The title is stolen from Heinlein... with one letter s added.
Ahem: 'Wai! Wai! Wai!'
And here I was thinking you'd dropped this one -- hadn't heard a hint
of this since we met at Fanime 2001.
Nabiki nodded, then glared at the other men in the room. "You heard
them, boys... everybody out!" She flipped her thumb
at the exit. "And don't let the door hit you as you leave." She
muttered darkly under her breath. Nabiki looked around at all
the monitoring equipment and her eyes narrowed. "Sensei." She turned
to Nobou. "Do these cameras feed anywhere besides the viewing booth
right here?"
Looks like a formatting error, there.
Nabiki turned to the petite scientist matter-of-factly. "I know
boys, and these guys are really just big teenagers. If you tell
them they can't do something, they'll try and do it anyway. If you
don't want them all watching while you do this... and making
tapes, showing the tapes to their friends, and so on and so forth, we
should make good and sure."
Surprised that they have even the slightest grasp of the concept,
considering their complete lack of knowledge concerning women...
... which brings me to mind of the wide-spread panic that's going to
ensue when all of the new little girls turn 13 or so...
Nabiki shook her head. "No, we can deal with this, you'll see.
We'll just have to take some precautions." She patted
Lorelei on the shoulder. "Just leave everything to me."
Formatting error? What do you use to wordwrap your posts? (This could
be Mozilla, and thus, my fault...)
"You sure that you're OK with this?" Nabiki asked.
OK -- okay
Lorelei blushed bright red and Nabiki chuckled. "That's OK. If she
wants to know, Akane can teach her... once we get this program updated."
*snicker*
Lorelei swallowed, blushing. "Not really, but never mind that."
She uncovered her breasts and started to fondle them with
both hands, blushing terribly. She closed her eyes and tried to pretend
she was alone in her bedroom.
Nabiki swallowed. "We'll go into the booth and give you some
privacy." She took Bloodberry out of the room and into the
booth, where Cherry was watching half a dozen monitors in fascination
and embarrassment. The three marionettes watched for almost half an
hour, with Nabiki interspersing an occasional quiet explanation into the
embarrassed silence.
Repetition, 'swallowed'.
Lorelei blinked, as if surprised, then shook her head. "No, it's
not important now. We've gone a bit past the need for that,
haven't we?"
I'd think so!
Lorelei hesitated. "Good... well...." She started toward the
booth. "Actually... if Cherry could make me an encrypted copy
of the recording... for when I'm eighty years old and want to remember
how it was...."
Erk... That should have been a clue for Nabiki.
Lorelei nodded. "Yes. I just put in the new chip. Cherry and
Bloodberry have already left too...." She blushed lightly. "Er..."
too -- to
Nabiki sighed with a nod. "Now I'm starting to! understand a bit of
how you must have felt earlier today. This isn't something you normally
talk about... at least, not quite so frankly." She looked thoughtful.
"On second thought, maybe it's just how artificial this feels that's
bothering me... I don't really know." Nabiki shrugged. "It doesn't
matter. I really have no reason to feel so shy about it, I just do."
to! -- to
Lorelei shook her head. "You have plenty of reason, Come, let not
fuss about it anymore. I'll show you the room, and leave you there. I
could use some sleep, I think." She paused. "And if there are any
problems... you can tell me in the morning, so I can make any necessary
adjustments."
reason, Come -- reason. Come -OR- reason, come
Nabiki turned away from the door after staring after the petite
scientist for half a minute and started to the bed, pulling off her
clothes as she went. "The only one I want is you, Lorelei." She said
quietly to herself. "And I will get you, girl, just wait and see."
Lorelei." She -- Lorelei," she
Akane came into the restaurant late in the afternoon, looking
thoughtful. When she spotted Ranma, she walked over to the
red head purposefully. "Ranma, you'd never believe who I saw today."
Akane spoke softly, not wanting to attract attention. "I thought I was
seeing things at first, but..."
red head -- readhead (?)
Ranma's eyes widened. "You mean this has something to do with...
er... sex?" She blushed. "Wait... she's in there alone,
right? How can she be...." Ranma shook her head. "I don't get it."
Heh!
Ranma hesitated as well. "Yeah, I'd better..." The short red
haired marionette hesitated a bit longer. "Hey, Akane, about
what Bloodberry was doing...?"
red haired -- red-haired
Hours later, when they were closing up the Restaurant and getting
everything ready for bed, Nabiki finally returned from the
castle. She walked in the back door and went over to where Ranma and
Akane were helping Cherry clean up the restaurant. When Akane turned to
greet her older sister she was surprised by the happy little grin on
Nabiki's face.
Restaurant -- restaurant
Akane blushed and Nabiki laughed, winking at her younger sister as
she spoke. "Do you want to explain it, or should I?"
spoke. "Do -- spoke, "Do
Ranma turned bright red, even though she wasn't quite sure what
Nabiki was hinting at, even as Akane yelled her protest.
"Nabiki!"
protest. "Nabiki -- protest, "Nabiki
Nabiki nodded matter-of-factly. "Um hmm. I came by to let you
know, and pick up my spare kimono... I really need to get
some more clothes." She noticed Akane's worried look and reassured
her. "I'll come by every day, Akane, so don't worry.
Anyway, you and Ranma should come by the castle tomorrow so Lorelei can
update your programs... although Ranma-kun
might not even notice the difference."

"I wanted to get some work done on Tiger's maiden circuit before I
went to sleep." Lorelei explained, equally quietly. "I feel like I
haven't done enough for her somehow."
sleep." Lorelei -- sleep," Lorelei
Nabiki patted Lorelei's shoulder gently. "Nonsense. I know you
better than that. Things have just bee toon busy the last
week."
bee toon -- been too
Lorelei blinked in shock. "My god, it's a marionette!"
Ah, yes. SMJ Next, was it?
Lorelei shook her head. "The Kunos were really the only ones in
Japoness with access to the proper material to build a
Maiden Circuit. There are other families as powerful and wealthy, but
none with access to that technology. I'd say it would
have to be someone from another country, most likely a government
project like Lime and the others."
You know, I can't remember which country that Marionette who's name I
also cannot remember came from.
