Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center, Friday

[the_merriest]

You know, the more Rikku thought about it, the more she thought maybe Cable was on to something. There was something seriously Zen and meditative about enormous guns. Hello, guns! Hello, Zen room! Hello, shooting range!

The Wellspring Arms & Meditation Center was open. And hyper.

Talk to Rikku

[the_merriest]

She's here! She's checking out the guns.

Romeo hadn't seen Rikku outside class all week; this had to be remedied.

He was almost unphased by the large gray bunny that galloped into the store ahead of him, only to vanish as it neared the counter.

"Good evening," he greeted. "Has this week been unusual strange?"

"Oh my gosh, it's been crazy!" Rikku shook her head. "My shoes rebelled and then there was singing and tangoing and then I was all avoidy but we're okay now and then yesterday nobody could understand a word I said and Jamie said I needed a head scan."

Deep breath.

"Please tell me you got that and I wasn't talking about mangos or something?" she said hopefully.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[withoutverona]

"No mangoes," he reassured her. "And aye, I got the shoes and the singing and the speaking in gibberish. Was the gibberish a Jamie thing?"

Re: Talk to Rikku

"I don't ... think so?" Rikku said, scratching her head. "Although it happened in the common room when he was there. Maybe I have to go punch him. Man, I'm glad I'm not going crazy or whatever. Er. More than I am anyway. Oooooooh! And raaaaaaaadio said you're getting all muuuuuuushy with Dooooooooooooojima."

This was an annoying little sing-song, yes.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[withoutverona]

"If it was, let me know as I would need to punch him too. I must have left the room just before you came in," Romeo said. But he was unable to hide his smile, so the threat didn't sound terribly serious.

"Raaaaaadio might have gotten something riiiiiiiight for once," he admitted.

Some time into the morning, Cable came down the stairs, holding a cup of coffee, and with a dog following by his feet. Tether darted towards the door, as was his wont, settling by the exit; he granted Rikku a "Morning," before heading towards the security panel.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku chirped. "You, uh, you have a ... thing? That came? A ... package from the Hydrator with, um. Your ... uh, harness?"

Penetraitor Harness. Fabulous. Rikku loved giving her boss messages about kinky sex toys.

Re: Talk to Rikku

And Cable...

...Came to a stop. In the middle of the room. He glanced over his shoulder.

This was Cable's surprised-confused face.

"...What?"

Re: Talk to Rikku

[the_merriest]

Sure, make her talk more. Great! Fabulous!

Rikku facepalmed. "Your package is here, okay!? I wasn't being nosy, I just saw the box, and I wasn't reading it, it kind of says HARNESS in big letters and look whatever you do in your free time is your own business I'm not judging or anything but please can you go pick it up now because I really didn't want to know this about you okay!?!"

Re: Talk to Rikku

"..."

You could hear the ellipses. He turned around, pacing a few steps down to the desk, and-- "HYDRA technology," Cable observed, shaking off the sheepish confusion like yesterday's dustbunnies. Complete calm. "I don't know who sent it, but it isn't what you think it is."

Not that he exactly knew what it was, but it wasn't-- that.

...

No. He flipped the box over. Just to find the return address.

Between recent recurring threats to himself and the... unpleasantness that affected his reputation not long ago, Doom felt it was time to build his reputation back up. The best way to do that was to confront one of the biggest threats to him and perhaps purchase weapons to be used against him later. Doom enjoyed irony, after all.

He strode into Wellspring Arms, intent on angering Summers.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Summers, as it was, was still at the desk, unpacking the box further while he decided what to do with its contents. He held up the harness rig, studying it.

If it wasn't for the name...

Re: Talk to Rikku

[honoraryphd.livejournal.com]

Doom's curiosity overtook the introduction he had prepared. "What manner of device is that?" he demanded to know without so much as a hello. Clearly the rig was something special.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable's left eye glowed distinctly as he shot a look over his shoulder. "Hello, Doom," he said, conversationally, and blatantly disregarded the question-- "Can I help you?"

Yondaime wandered in after his class, oddly enough looking for Cable.

Yes, he was sane. And no, he didn't want to yell at him or fight him.

He wanted to ask the mutant messiah a favor.

The world was coming to an end.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Probably a good thing that Cable was still in the store for the moment, then.

Even if, checking over his security protocols through the panel in the corner, he wasn't really paying the new arrival a lot of attention.

Arashi headed over to Nate and stood quietly behind him, figureing that Nate knew he was there and waited until he was finished tinkering to speak.

"I was wondering if I could ask you to speak to my class."

Re: Talk to Rikku

[spring-lost.livejournal.com]

Cable, for his part, shut the casing of the security panel securely before casting Arashi a look. Wade's husband-- did that class on building countries. Might be useful. "What did you have in mind?" he asked, without preamble.

Re: Talk to Rikku

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku waved cheerfully to Deadpool's husband. "Welcome to the Wellspring Arms and all that. How are you?"

Re: Talk to Rikku

[konoha-flash.livejournal.com]

"Hi Rikku," Arashi smiled brightly with a nod. "I'm good, how about you?"

Re: Talk to Rikku

[the_merriest]

"I'm pretty good, too!" She bounced on her toes. "I got all tan in Mexico. Oooh, plus I got a tattoo, I thought you had to be 18 but nobody even asked. Maybe I look older."

The Meditation Room

[the_merriest]

Moddable Zen.

The Shooting Range
