"Yukari as she walks by waving her hammer and sickle,
dressed in thick felt boots, a heavy overcoat, and a fur hat,"
says 'In communist Russia, titles say you.'
This is an awkward take on a very outdated joke that long ago ceased being
worth even the faintest of chuckles.
Which, if you think about it, makes connecting it to Yukari a good
call...hmm.
"Oh, my God! Look at that dress!" Yukari said loudly,
drawing Minamo's attention.
"It's made of people!"
Her jaw dropped as she saw Yukari undressing the mannequin
and keeping an irate store clerk away with one foot.
Saw it coming. :) That's SO VERY Yukari. Nice work. :)
"Twenty thousand yen?!" Yukari screeched as she waved the
dress in front of the cashier's face. "No way!"
Wow, that's awfully cheap for a dress like that.
A thought occurred to her as she stepped out the exit into
the mall proper, and she stuck her head back in. "Hey, Minamo,
where do you want to meet back- The dress!" she cried as she saw
her friend rather guiltily paying for it at the cash register.
Saw THAT coming too. XD
"So which is it?" Osaka asked intently. "Let's say I'm
writin' in english and I accidentally spell angry 'a-g-r-y'.
Would I say I had accidentally left an 'N' out of the word, or
would I say I accidentally left a 'N' out of the word?"
Wow, that's a VERY Osaka thing to ask.
Chiyo blinked. She'd never thought of that. "I'm not sure,
I mean, maybe we should ask Miss Yukari."
"I did," Osaka replied. "But she hit me with a book and
told me not to poke holes in that ridiculous language."
Heh!
The three contemplated that for a moment.
"Oh, well, I'm failing English anyway," Osaka said sadly,
and walked away.
Heh.
Yomi smiled faintly while she pulled out books and papers
from her bag, ignoring the usual murmur of voices and activity
from the students around her. Selecting a small folder of papers,
she left to join her friends where they clustered around Osaka's
desk watching her attempt to solve a Rubik's cube.
Oh God...Osaka and a Rubik's cube... XD
Everyone oohed, except Osaka, who had begun the delicate
task of the alternate solution to the Rubik's puzzle, which was
to take all the stickers off and paste them back on.
I wonder how many of us actually did that when we were kids...*raises hand
guiltily*
"It came with a CD full of cute animal pictures," Tomo
added smugly.
*snrk*
"!" said Sakaki.
*SNRK*
Splorch.
....that bodes poorly...
"What? What about that big speech you made about being
able to turn out homework just as good as mine with your new
computer?" Yomi asked in disbelief.
"Ah hah, I uh, I also got a copy of Counterstrike last
night and I was so busy playing it I forgot to do my homework,"
Saw THAT coming. XD
"Hmm," Yomi said, her smile growing as a thought played out
in her head of Tomo walking along with a plasma rifle, oblivious
as she snuck up behind her with a BFG.
SPLORCH.
"What server do you play on?" Yomi asked as Tomo was about
to walk away with her homework.
Heeheehee....
"Wouldn't it make sense, though?" Osaka reasoned. "Think
about how it sounds. Stencil. Sten-cil. Kinda like Hansel.
Ooh!" she exclaimed. "Wouldn't that make a cute fairytale?
Hansel and Stencil, the story of a young boy and a stencil, lost
while painting signs to a witch's bakery in the woods!"
.............................................
Tomo used the opportunity to snatch the orange tanyaki and
taiyaki
"Oh, you got it," Yomi said, a smug little smile on her
face. "What's wrong, Tomo? I thought you loved habanera
tanyakis?"
The only response I have to this is to hit up Google and do a search for
'taiyaki'. :P (Hint: Taiyaki is customarily filled with sweet bean paste,
and while the popularity of habanero in Japan IS growing, I don't think it's
at the level yet where your average taiyaki-ya will make habanero-flavored
taiyaki on demand...)
"Oh, I get it now," Osaka said in awe. "So that's why you
love spicy food."
That aside...heh!
"I know!" Tomo cried happily as she jumped in. I know why
she's so upset! She's mad cause I 0wn3d her last night!"
"In the ass! With a cactus!"
Tomo did a little happy dance. "It means she's not a l33t
h4xx0r like me, and I wasted her like the n00b she is last night
in Cstrike!" she exclaimed, shortly before Yomi decked her.
pwn3d.
The copy machine lid creaked alarmingly when she leaned on
it, and it had several plastic bits it used to feed papers in
through the top that looked breakable. Yukari quickly hit upon
the idea of lifting the top and using the broad, strong glass as
a platform to allow her access to the folders.
Ut-oh.
It took some grunting and hitching up her skirt, but she
was able to climb up and sit sideways on the top while she took
out several empty folders from the half-empty box. That done,
she rolled and spun to the side, accidentally mashing the control
panel with her thigh, so she was able to slide down to the floor.
Folders in hand, Yukari smoothed her skirt down and strode out
the door happily, never noticing the copy machine start spitting
out copy after copy into its tray.
Oh hell. XD
The top of the school letterhead could be seen across one
side, having been pushed out of place, but not out of the picture
all together. A little left of center was a picture of Hello
Kitty in coveralls, a pail and shovel at his feet, holding a sign
that said 'Tuesday'.
O_o;;
Touga blushed bright red, but grinned widely. He didn't
know teachers would do things like this. It was his duty, nay,
his trust as an office assistant to make sure that others saw
this.
He's a dead man.
"I can't believe those boys were passing these out!" Yomi
says, scandalized, looking at her copy as they all walked down
mind your verb tenses
"Friday the 23rd," Tomo said. "That's today!"
"Tuesday panties," Osaka said, grinning.
....X_x;;
A few minutes later, when they were out of sight, Kaorin scuttled
back and fished hers out, tucking it carefully in her folder
before hurrying to keep up with the others.
Heh.
"Umm, the stationary, ma'am."
"Ah." Minamo digested this in silence for a moment, then,
improbably, her eyebrow rose higher. "You were looking at the
stationary?"
*SNRK!*
Yukari instantly recognized her own very characteristic
panties, and panicked as she felt the fear and embarrassment
creep up in her throat. "It's not what it looks like! I haven't
worn those in years, but my laundromat has been closed for a week
and I haven't had a chance to make it to another one! They were
my last pair!"
....typical Yukari reaction. XD
"Who knew there was a teacher at this school as crazy as I
am?" Tomo said with a chuckle.
Everyone, pretty much.
Sakaki looked pensively into the distance, her face framed
perfectly by the fading sun when viewed from Chiyo's angle. "I
have some... errands... to run."
"Really?"
"Shopping...."
She needs days-of-the-week panties.
Still life pencil drawings of running shoes. Pics of
Sakaki running. Pics of Sakaki sitting at her school desk,
Don't use lazy shorthand in prose. Spell out the word "pictures".
*snip*
Pity for Kaorin that she's just TAINTED her collection...
Tomo had played for a while, but it just wasn't the same. Now,
despite the wondrous things available to do on a computer, things
she had elaborated on in great detail to her parents, she was
bored.
Ain't it always the way?
Immediately, a page full of Lupin related links popped up.
Tomo considered those for a moment, scanning for one that looked
the most interesting. Official website, nah. Voice actor bios,
nah. Picture gallery, now that looked interesting. Lupin
hentai....
I had a feeling that's where this was going.
A few more clicks later, Tomo went back to Google to
redefine her search parameters.
*snrk*
Nice work, all around. :)
