Year of the Yuri harem IC 10. The yuri is at max power.

[The TechnoGnome]

"Oh wimp in what way?" Ethan asks.

"Well for one, he's not very good with women," Mallory pointed out, "And he's terrified of me, which is not really a good thing considering he had a crush on Agatha for a while. Of course, he was too chicken to go for it and ended up with Taika instead."

[Lentrax]

Nothing. Just... Have the house to myself. Anyway. Sleepover, right? Sakata tries to force some cheer back into her voice.

Romantic movies and makeovers, right?

[Zevox]

"Um.... This might be inappropriate, but do you know your, birth parents." Agatha asks.

"You're fine," Tanya replied waving off the concern about it being inappropriate. "Me personally? No. They apparently died in an accident when I was only one, didn't have any other relatives who were willing or able to take me, and I got adopted just a couple years later. So my real family's the only one I've really known. Heck, my earliest memories are from the day mom and dad brought me home," she said with a small smile, happy at the thought.

"Tam was adopted a bit older, and she's said she has a few memories of hers. Just scattered stuff though, not a lot - she was still pretty young when she was... well, when she lost 'em."

[Illven]

"Hm, well then maybe I'll just stick with him to spite you," Taika says, still joking. There's a small pause as doubt flashes across her face. "Kidding, of course..."

Sorry. Jen replied. Should we talk about something else.

"Well for one, he's not very good with women," Mallory pointed out, "And he's terrified of me, which is not really a good thing considering he had a crush on Agatha for a while. Of course, he was too chicken to go for it and ended up with Taika instead."

"Oh damn. Sounds like a coward." Ethan chuckles.

Is someone painting? Luna asked.

"You're fine," Tanya replied waving off the concern about it being inappropriate. "Me personally? No. They apparently died in an accident when I was only one, didn't have any other relatives who were willing or able to take me, and I got adopted just a couple years later.

"Tam was adopted a bit older, and she's said she has a few memories of hers. Just scattered stuff though, not a lot - she was still pretty young when she was... well, when she lost 'em."

"Oh gods. I'm sorry." Agatha said aghast.

[Lentrax]

No. Why? Sakata looked around. Oh. The furniture. Mom always liked everything covered. Said it kept things from getting... What word did she use... Grungy?

[Illven]

.. Liked. Past tense.... Where are your parents? Luna asked.

[Necroticplague]

"Basically. The amount of things she would regret can be counted on just on one hand. After losing a couple fingers to a hilarious lawnmower accident. But, onto more interesting topics, what do you guys think of piercings and tattoos?"

[Illven]

"Um, why?" Jessica asked.

[Lentrax]

Gone.

Sakata steps over to the table and picks up a photo in a frame.

Don't have much left. Photos, and memories. And... a house.

[Esprit15]

"Maybe that would be a good idea... Did you have fun?"

[Anubis Dread]

"Basically. The amount of things she would regret can be counted on just on one hand. After losing a couple fingers to a hilarious lawnmower accident. But, onto more interesting topics, what do you guys think of piercings and tattoos?"

"I think they're pretty cool. I've been tempted to get some nose rings for a while now," Alex puts in her two cents.

[The TechnoGnome]

"Oh damn. Sounds like a coward." Ethan chuckles.

"He is," Mallory said plainly, "That's why I like you better. You at least have a backbone."

The teapot starts whistling at this point. Mallory turns off the stove, places the teabags in, and starts pouring out the cups, "So, you should probably take Agatha's, and I will take Tanya's. Sound good to you?"

[Illven]

Gone.

Sakata steps over to the table and picks up a photo in a frame.

Don't have much left. Photos, and memories. And... a house.

Oh... Oh gods. Sakata.... I'm so sorry. Luna said aghast.

"Maybe that would be a good idea... Did you have fun?"

Yeah. I had fun. You're a good host Takia. Jen replied.

"I think they're pretty cool. I've been tempted to get some nose rings for a while now," Alex puts in her two cents.

"Um... okay...." Jessica replies.


@Techno

"Heh. Thanks." Ethan grins, as he takes Agatha's cup.

[The TechnoGnome]

"Heh. Thanks." Ethan grins, as he takes Agatha's cup.

"No problem," Mallory said, picking up her own and Tanya's, "I know she'll appreciate the gesture. Now come on, we're probably missing a good story."

She made her way back to the game, cups in hand, "Well, I got decaf for Tanya and I, and Ethan has your herbal Agatha." She frowned as she sees Agatha's guilty face, "What's wrong?"

[Illven]

Agatha looks to Tanya for what to do.

[Esprit15]

"Thanks... We should probably head back in. Don't want to be ignoring Nate too much, after all."

[Illven]

"Thanks... We should probably head back in. Don't want to be ignoring Nate too much, after all."

Yeah, plus it's getting cold. Don't want your mom worrying about frostbite. Jen replied.

[Esprit15]

Yeah, plus it's getting cold. Don't want your mom worrying about frostbite. Jen replied.

"We're the least frostbite-able people here," Taika says with a chuckle as they head inside.

[Illven]

"We're the least frostbite-able people here," Taika says with a chuckle as they head inside.

Oh? Are you the most talented of your siblings? Jen asks.

[Lentrax]

'S alright. You couldn't know. We were going to a movie. Mom just back from a tour, and we were celebrating. The other car came out of nowhere. Boom.

[Ionbound]

"Maybe you'll be fine." Heather muttered.

Gwen shakes her head and says, "What, you think I'd let you die? That's the one scenario where I'd turn you."

[Illven]

Luna flinches at that.

Gwen shakes her head and says, "What, you think I'd let you die? That's the one scenario where I'd turn you."

"Just...." Heather pipes up. "Nevermind."

[Lentrax]

A tear rolls down Sakata's cheek as she runs her thumb down the frame. They're why I fight so hard, you know. Everyone deserves a chance at what they got.

Is there uh.... Anything I can do to help? Luna asks putting a hand on your shoulder.

[Ionbound]

Gwen frowns and chews her lower lip as she asks, "What's wrong?"

[Lentrax]

Just hard sometimes... I can't exactly talk to people about it, because I'm supposed to keep the whole magical girl thing a secret. I think my contract is what keeps people from coming to house like something is wrong. I mean if people knew...

Sakata's head snaps up as she turns to look into Luna's face.

Luna, you can't tell anyone about this. People don't need to know my parents... My p-parents are... D-d-dead... Promise me, you won't tell.

[Illven]

Gwen frowns and chews her lower lip as she asks, "What's wrong?"

"No." Heather replied shaking her head. "Just please. Leave me alone."

Well.... How are you doing money wise? Luna asked.

[Esprit15]

Oh? Are you the most talented of your siblings? Jen asks.

"No, that's Atna. I am dead, though, so that helps."

[Illven]

"No, that's Atna. I am dead, though, so that helps."

Right that would do it. Jen replied face-palming.

[Esprit15]

With a nod, Taika heads in to see what Nate is up to.
