GC Tea House

[Shikyo]

Three Days Pass

She awakens slowly with a soft groan, her head feels like some one tiny has moved in with a jack hammer and has gone happily to work on pounding her brain into rubble. Rising slowly she casts off the light blanket and then blinks as she relises something, she is wearing absolutely nothing which is not her usual habit. A quick, and regretted look around the room shows several empty bottles of her favorite liquor, but some empty wine bottles which she recalls were not here before.

She looks over at the sword stand to make sure both blades were still here, and they were still there which calms that short panic that was starting to arise. With a slight shrug she moves about the room collecting somehting to wear, then she pauses as she frowned. She puts a finger on her lips, turns slightly side to side then hmphs it seems the spider silk panties she was looking for are not here. Odd, she thinks to herself, just bought those the last time she was on Malta.

Once more she goes to gether up something to wear, starting with a slick ship suit and ending with a jacket she just grabbed off the back of a chair in teh front room without really looking at it. She turns and heads towards the tea House, feeling the need to get somehting soothing to drink and maybe a light bite to eat before getting to her duties, limited as they are until Medical determines she is ready for full flight status.

She breezes into the Tea House a few minutes later and flags down Steve as soon as she spots him seemingly polishing the bar yet again, a rather unusual smile blossoms on her face as she leans over the counter.

"Bonsowa-ru* Steve-san! Whats good for drink today?"

Are you sure you want one? Do you not remember last night? Steve looked at Shikyo from across the bar. Her being this nice towards him and without her usual swords in completely unusual for her.

"Ummm, no. Now this one thinks about it, she does not remember much at all. Somehting happen this one should remember?" She asked him and sat back on a bar stool as Steve starts to describe some of the events last night...

One Hour Later

...and the last was heard was Enya took her gunboat to Kyushu shortly followed by a Consortium Ship that was called to assist. Of course Naomi was quite drunk and no one really knows where she spent her night. Steve paused, took another look at the jacket Shikyo is wearing But I can guess where now since your wearing Naomi's Kiretsu Flight Jacket.

Shikyo eyes, which she had spent the entire hour listening without a single word of interuption, were wide with panic, her skin another shade paler than usual and she was holding the bar tightly with one hand to remain steady. A quick look at the jacket proves it is indeed not hers with Naomi's name inscribed upon it. She looks back up at Steve again, knowing he would not lie but hoping against hope that some of what she was told was not entirely true, espeicaly the part where some one had mentioned threats and counter threats against both sides of the Sisterhood.

"N...no...NO! Oh no no no. I have to, umm, I dont know. Oh damn." SHe looks around quickly to see if there is anyone else, espcialy her own crew to see her in such a state of alarm, then rises, stumbles slightly and forgetting to apologise to Steve for his help and politieness, she hurries out of the Tea House to find some one that might be able to help her smooth things over with the Kiretsu, much less lessen the displeasure she is sure the Elders will show her for such dangerous and harmfull actions to the Sisterhood.


* bonsowa-ru = good evening
