The Ground Walks, with Time in a Box [CLOSED]

Who: Nonon, Ryuko, and Athena
When: IC: 1/22
Where: Athena's and Ryuko's apartment.
What: Nonon and Ryuko are at a strange impasse. Nonon walks in on Ryuko and Athena having dinner.
Rating/Warning: PG-13 maybe. Talk of violence and nudity possible, there are Kill La Kills here. Stupid teenagers with UST.



[ It's cold out. Nonon ended up staying later at the opera house than she wanted to. She sat in her office for a while just thinking about what the hell Ryuko was talking about.

    i dont know what im doing

That's what she had said. What the hell was that supposed to mean?! She kissed her then sped off on her stupid delivery scooter! It made Nonon angry that someone who kissed her had such little conviction!! But at the same time... Ryuko is younger than her, someone she feels like she needs to look out for... even if it weren't for her feelings she is still Satsuki's precious little sister, the one she rebelled against her own mother to get revenge for.and in a way that made Ryuko precious to Nonon too. People near Satsuki just have strange ways of showing their love, and it often has to do with violence.

By the time she leaves the opera house, Ryuko's track jacket zipped up high to keep out the cold of the winter, she isn't sure what the hell she is even going to say. Nonon doesn't know what she's doing either, but she's stubborn enough to make sure she still shows up at Ryuko's and Athena's like she said she would.

And so Nonon is the reason why the buzzer at their apartment goes off sometime after dark, likely when they are just sitting down to eat. A tiny pink girl in Ryuko's oversized jacket, looking like a punk in it and her skull beanie, waiting for someone to open the door. ]

[ Not to take anything away from her surprisingly fun time with Nonon, but Ryuko really missed living with Athena again. Things are simple with Athena, even if Athena didn't always make it so when she's internalizing her angst... but that's something they said they would work on. For now, she was just happy to be having a cheap family dinner with Athena again. They've really come a long way ever since the older girl started teaching Ryuko how to cook (and Ryuko messing it up)!

But then the bell rings, and Ryuko is none the wiser because she was starting to forget about Nonon saying she would be coming over. After all, she didn't specify the time and Ryuko was expecting her straight after school, not late in the evening. ]


I'll get it!

[ When Ryuko opens the door and sees Nonon standing there, in her jacket, almost the same way she has left her a couple days ago, her first instinct just made her promptly close the door again. ]

...shit.

[ Shit, shit, shit. Nonon was supposed to be coming over, wasn't she? Okay, Matoi, it's time to woman up... and open the door more gently this time. ]


...Hey!

[ It's not unusual to have a guest over during the evening, though they usually talk about who to expect before the expected actually shows up. At least, that's how they used to do things. Athena doesn't feel like this is some sort of change of anything, so whoever's at the door is probably a surprise visitor. And it must be somebody Ryuko knows, if she's taking that long.

She doesn't get up from her seat, and continues to poke at her food instead. Maybe she'll give Ryuko a minute or two before she gets up to check who it is. She can't hear any screaming, so nothing should be threatening their safety. There's no need to panic. ]

[ Ryuko just whisper yells back at her. ]

Not for dinner!!

[ And she's wearing that jacket again... Ryuko wonders what Athena is going to think. She doesn't fear disapproval from her roommate, it's quite the opposite actually... Athena would probably support Ryuko's "relationship" to the extreme, before Ryuko can even figure out that it's one by herself.

And to make matters worse, Nonon now just... lets herself inside?? WOW RUDE ]


--Hey! God..!!! I hate my life!

[ She closes the door after Nonon, cursing a little bit more on the inside. ]

Ryuko?

[ May as well get up from her seat at the sudden disturbance. Nonon and Ryuko may have been whispering, but she could definitely feel a sudden change in the mood around the room.

What was up? ]

[ Ryuko speaks up for Athena, almost a little too defensively. ]

We're having dinner!

[ It's like she's doing everything to avoid this talk even though she knows they need to have it. WHAT IS MATURITY.

Also, she already mentioned dinner a few seconds ago?? This is going smoothly. ]

[ Um???? ]

I can go outside for a second, if that's needed.

[ She at least knows how to show respect to people, so??? ]

[ That punch did feel affectionate... which only makes Ryuko's emotions stir further. ]

W-Well, you two can go to whatever rooms ya want, but I'm gonna stay here and eat! Some of us used up a lot of blood this week!

[ NOT DEALING WITH THIS AT ALL, NOPE. ]

[ ... way to be a mature and hospitable host, Ryuko.

Athena tries to clear the air by pulling up a seat for Nonon on the table. Y'all mofos should probably just sit down if you don't want to talk!!!! ]


Let me grab you a plate.

[personal profile] dishonorstudent 2015-06-19 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You serious?! And you give me a hard time for eating burgers!

[ It's like they're already a couple. But... Ryuko presses on. ]

Athena and I got stuck inside some weird turn based game... stupid thing almost killed her! When I figure out a way to get back to that level, I'm gonna finish that piece of shit for good!!

[ Ah, her table manners leave a lot to be desired, too. ]

[ Athena sets a plate in front of Nonon moments later, complete with a spoon and fork. She wonders if Nonon and Ryuko argue like this all the time while Ryuko was staying over at the other's place, though it's the same with how she was with Simon while she was at his. What a strange coincidence.

She joins the conversation as she sits back down, ignoring Ryuko's ranting. ]


Mosley said that it shouldn't happen again. Whatever it was they were working on is finished now.

[ Whenever Nonon glances at Ryuko, all she will see is the girl glaring daggers at her. Even while she eats her food or addresses Athena, this will be her face for the rest of this dinner. Because how dare she just barge in here like this and make herself at home?

Oh yeah, Ryuko kind of okay'd it. But still. ]


It's obviously all a lie!! How many times have we heard the old "glitch" excuse?!

And if they're being nice to us, it's probably 'cause they want something. Maybe they're just tryin' to please their boss or something. So they look after us... give us a roof... feed us... and maybe we grow to like 'em a little, but, who knows if it's all real or not.

[ No subtext here, nope. ]

[ You argue that now, but you've been living your life in Cerealia the way they've been wanting you to, Ryuko. ]

I'd like to believe in them, even though you guys won't.

[ She can go further than that and explain herself, but it's not needed right now. It's a lot better than thinking they were kidnapped for some experiment for whatever, though. ]

[ ...She can't believe she's Team Nonon and not Team Athena!! THIS CANNOT BE. ]

L-Look, you're both right.

[ She stabs her fork into her spaghetti and takes a mouthful. ]

We can't just write 'em off so quickly without seeing what they're gonna do, but we can't forget the past either. I'm tellin' ya, as far as first impressions go, they kinda dropped the ball twice.

[ First the bodies, and then this mayhem that nearly took Ryuko's friends. ]
psycholawgy: (baby you've killed)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-06-19 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She didn't need validation, Ryuko!! Athena's fine on her own, gosh. ]

More like thrice, but-- [ Athena has her own suspicions. Best to keep it to herself for now, especially since she'd rather discuss it with her own boss or Simon first. ] yes, I agree.

[ Maybe it'll be better to lighten the conversation??? Is that a good idea??? HER PSYCHOLOGY AND LAW SCHOOL PROFESSORS NEVER TAUGHT SHIT LIKE THIS YO. ]

Anyway, I'm glad everything's back to normal... again.

Maybe we'll hear something juicy on the news.

[ Does that even help, who knows. ]

[personal profile] dishonorstudent 2015-06-19 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope.

[ Ryuko says that little too carelessly as she gets up to wash her plate. They're delving into small-talk now, which is hardly her area of expertise, and even harder to maintain when she's not in the mood for it. ]

(( Senketsu: Ryuko... you're running away again. ))

I'm not. I... I'm not...

[ She turns the tap on, now washing her dish. The sink is in the same room as the dinner table, so she's still within hearing and seeing distance. ]
psycholawgy: (aha ha ha hahahahahahahaha...)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-06-19 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It wouldn't be right if Athena interrupted and said she does read about the music stuff printed on the newspaper, so she just decides to keep to herself, finishing up the vegetables on her plate.

She laughs amiably just to get rid of the dead air. This is awkward as hell, and she'd apologise for Ryuko's manners, but Nonon must already be used to it. ]

[personal profile] dishonorstudent 2015-06-19 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Tch! [ Her plate cracks slightly as she snaps back at Nonon from the sink. ]

How am I supposed to act?! Should I wear another dress-- wear glasses? What do want from me?!

[ Her question carries a certain gravity to it. It was more than just a dismissive question... Ryuko would really like to know what they are. Friends? More than that? Just a friend's sister? Allies by circumstance? ]
