The Perk, Tuesday Evening

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip walked into the coffee shop and breathed in the smell. It felt like it was only yesterday that he had been here.

Wait, he had been her yesterday.

He sauntered up to the counter, ordered an Italian Soda, and sat down with his roommate.

[[OOC: Obviously open to all your coffee related needs. This was on the wrong comm, so I deleted the previous post and had Togusa c/p his responses as well as c/ping Pip's comments.]]

Togusa ordered a large cappichino, just to wake himself up a little. Sitting down next to Pip, he eyed the patrons.

"Remind me to get out more often. I hardly know anyone here." He took a sip and perked up.

"Okay, get out here more often," Pip responded. "Seriously, you've been a total hermit since we all got here. What's up?"

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

"I mostly people watch. I like to see what they do, and why. Plus, I'm always connected to the web. It's sometimes distracting." Togusa took another sip "I went to that beach party a few weeks back. I'm not a total hermit."

"Well, I'll give you that. But you did miss out on the dance the other night. There were some pretty cute girls there as well. I just get the impression you haven't meet many people other than the freshman, ya know?"

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

"Not really. I don't know what to say around people." Togusa pulled a wallet out of his back pocket. "Girls...I like one back home. But I will try to get around more. I'm supposed to learn how to communicate and talk to people besides from watching them."

Pip nods. "Not much of a people person. To each his own. Got a picture of your girl back home? She have a name?"

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, honey to me." Togusa grinned. "Hopefully she calls me that when I go home." He slouched a little. "We're not really officail or anything like that." He placed his wallet away. "What about you? I heard you're a ladies man. Anyone special?"

Pip laughs. "Well, you're not bad looking, mon ami. I'm sure you'll win her over. Send her something nice from time to time while you're here."

He sipped at his Italian Soda.

"Well, I was sleeping with Chiana, that's the gray skinned alien, the night after the dance. That's why I didn't come back to the room. Maia seems really interesting as well. We've kissed, at least. Maia and Chiana are in a rather open "friends with benefits" relationship. I'm not entirely sure where it's going. Feels a bit weird." He leans back in his chair and gets a little nostalgic. "There was one girl I met while we were stationed in London, though. Real Hellcat. This was about six months ago, mind you. She was fourteen, I was about fifteen. First of all, no fourteen year old should have a rack like that. But more importantly, the girl was something else." He chuckled and shook his head in remembrance.

"Well, did you ever get a name from her? What was she like?" Togusa took another sip and watched Pip. "I bet I could find her. I would just need a name."

Wait. That message. "Is there a computer around here I could use?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Er... something Victoria. Short. Blonde hair Heavily stacked."

Pip looked around. "No idea. Do you need one? I thought you were the computer?"

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

"Victoria...Seras Victoria. I sent you that message. Did you get a chance to look at it?" Togusa snapped his fingers. "I just sent it to your voicemail, but I have it on file still. I talked to her for a little bit." He held up his hands "Nothing dirty...except that I know what her bra size is."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Odd, how would she know that I was here?" Pip said, sipping at his soda. "I only met her briefly while I was in London. Don't get me wrong, she was great, but I didn't know her that well. Could you play it again?"

He couldn't help himself. "And? What is her bra size?"

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

Togusa shrugged. "She's in that orginazation that Walter is in...Hellsing." He nodded as he confirmed the information. "She got wind of you through that." He thought a moment. "Double D, if memory serves correctly."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip's eyes widened. "Double D? I may have to look into this girl." He scratched the back of his head. "But Walter's from the 1940's. So how could she in present day Hellsing have found out about... you know what? Forget it. I'm not even going to ask. This is Fandom. It's how it works. I'm pretty sure there's a time traveling alien teaching quantam phsycis who could explain it to me, but I don't care."

Togusa laughed. "I'm not supposed to be here, yet here I am. Science fiction right before your eyes. How many kids have a tank that will level a building,but has A.I?" He leaned back. "You should get in touch with her. See what she wants."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded. "Very true. I feel almost out of place. I'm neither science fiction nor fantasy. Just millitary thriller. And you're right. It couldn't hurt to talk to the girl. I mean, if she's in Hellsing, something must have happened to her."

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

"I didn't ask if anything happened to her. I mentioned you were my roommate, and then bam! I have a message from her to you." He folded his arms. "Better talk to her. I left her link in the message."
