"Heeey, you've reached Yang! Well, actually, you didn't reach far enough, 'cause I'm not here right now! But don't yang up! Just leave a message on this baby, and I'll get back to you soon enough, okay?"

Thanks, Yang, I'd appreciate that.

[As they head their way outside--]

[flaredo]

But don't do this again anytime soon, okay? I gotta recover.

action;

[masakados]

No problem. That was pretty rough on me too, honestly.

[With a glance over his shoulder toward the theatre, then back at Yang.] Now we can go and do non-painful things, though.

[flaredo]

... Yeeees!

[ Fistpump. Someone sure perked up fast. ]

[masakados]

[Rolls his eyes!! Good-naturedly.]

Off we go!

[That gets a cheerful:] I'll say hi to him if I see him around the colony again.

Listen, though, I wanted to ask if you saw anything weird while you were with Ardeo.

action;

[flaredo]

To go beat you up!

[ Yang, no. ]

[masakados]

Well, I mean, if you'd rather do that than something nice and actually date-like sure...

action;

[flaredo]

.... Oooooon second thought...

[ Yes, go on. ]

action;

[masakados]

What? Don't wanna go beat me up after all?

audio;

[flaredo]

Weird? Like... elemental-weird or...?

action;

[flaredo]

Not until tomorrow. Dates are always more important.

action;

[masakados]

Then, come with me. [Laughing, he goes and tightens his hold on her hand, eager to tug her off somewhere. So mysterious.]

[undaunts]

How am I supposed to know something like that?

[That's so...vague!!!]

[flaredo]

It'll be like... well, you know how you always wanted to be a Huntress? It'll just happen. You'll know.

action;

[flaredo]

[ Sooo mysterious. But he's in a good mood, and so is she, so she'll just laugh and follow him. ]

[masakados]

[Listen, he's been thinking about a thing, okay? Planning. It doesn't take too long, not when the indoor waterpark is in the same district as the theatre.]

In here.

[Hard to hide what it is from the outside, but hey.]

action;

[flaredo]

... A water park??

[ NAOKI, LOOK AT YOU. ]

action;

[masakados]

Yeah. We couldn't go to a beach together, so...

[This is the next best thing he hopes.]

action;

[flaredo]

I didn't think about bringing a swimsuit, though...

[ Whoops. ]

action;

[masakados]

Don't worry, I got that taken care of.

[GRINS back at her. Though then he looks sheepish, scratching at his forehead.] I picked up some and put 'em in the locker here.

[In a variety of sizes and designs, just in case.]

action;

[flaredo]

You went swimsuit shopping? By yourself?? You?!

[ HIS LEVEL HAS GONE UP. ]

action;

[masakados]

[--nnnngh!! He's reddening up to his ears.]

I wanted it to be a surprise... So I had to...

audio;

[braavado]

While we were on the way to the beach, we saw these homes where the natives--I think they were natives--used to live.

It looks like CERES made a housecall at some point, too.
