Ruby and Lip Fung Jan 11/01 (Times are in UTC/GMT +8
Hours) Thanks to Lip Fung for the
Submission |
[05:01] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] <drying
glasses> Hey Ruby...I got a
phone call...
[05:02] <Ruby`Chan> Huh? <Rushes out of the
dressing room to the counter>
[05:02] <Ruby`Chan> News about Lara??
[05:03] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] <nods> She's coming in tonight.
[05:03] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] she didn't tell me
much....and i didn't
ask. I think she should
talk to you first. You've always been
the closer
one.
[05:04] <Ruby`Chan> <Sighs in relief> I'm going
to have to teach that girl
a lesson about running away and going missing for so long
[05:05] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] yeah, she had us
worried sick. You
tell that girl that she better not take off like that on us
again. <puts
the last glass down, and begins to take inventory on the
alcohol>
[05:06] <Ruby`Chan> Yaa... hmmm... could you do me a
favour Charles??
[05:06] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] <nods> sure,
what'd you like sugar?
[05:07] <Ruby`Chan> Since Neko's coming back after so
long..... we probably
need some time to do some catching up... I was wondering
if...
[05:07] <Ruby`Chan> You'd cover for us if we take
off??
[05:07] <Ruby`Chan> <Puts on a pair of Innocent
eyes>
[05:07] <Ruby`Chan> Plleeaassee??
[05:08] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] <sighs> I
hate them pretty eyes of yours
when they go all puppy dog...go on then, take the night
off....it's a weeknight,
so it'll be quiet
[05:09] <Ruby`Chan> <Jumps around in glee... leans
forward and kisses Charles
on the cheek... this is starting to become a habit..>
Charles, if you were
any younger and good-looking, I swear I'd marry you on the
spot. <winks>
[05:09] <Ruby`Chan> <Jumps around in glee... leans
forward and kisses Charles
on the cheek... this is starting to become a habit..>
Charles, if you were
any younger and good-looking, i swear i'd marry you on the
spot. <winks>
[05:12] <Lip`Fung> <Wakes up in a start and is
sweating. The dreams have
always been the same... the giant blood red mobile suit
looming above in
space. He was up there too... but not as his normal self...
probably as
someone else. He was in a mobile suit too... except he could
only watch
but he couldn't move or speak.>
[05:12] <Sakura_Hunter> [Bartender] Go on now...get!
<blushes>
[05:12] <Ruby`Chan> <smiles> Bye bye!
[05:13] <Ruby`Chan> <Runs to her dressing table and
gets her purse. And
practically skips out of the bar and off into the New York
streets>
[05:14] <Lip`Fung> <Then the battle would go on...
and he would be losing>
[05:15] <Lip`Fung> <Then his suit was disabled and
damaged. When the final
blow was about to fall he would wake up. It was always the
same> This is
weird...
[05:15] <Ruby`Chan> <she finds one of those
payphones and starts dailing
a number>
[05:15] <Ruby`Chan> <she finds one of those
payphones and starts dailing
a number>
[05:16] <Lip`Fung> <The phone in his apartment
rings. He looks at the time...
9.30 in the morning> Who the hell could that be?
[05:17] <Lip`Fung> <picks up the phone> Lip Fung
speaking.
[05:17] <Ruby`Chan> Hie, there!
[05:18] <Lip`Fung> Listen...<yawns> it's 9.30 in
the morning and I just
don't feel like going down there and giving you a nice smack
in the butt.
Make this quick, okay?
[05:19] <Ruby`Chan> <Frowns> You know you really
have a good way of spoiling
the mood.
[05:20] <Lip`Fung> What is this about... I kind of
overslept and I have
about and hour to get down to the school...
[05:20] <Ruby`Chan> Oh, sorry. Anyway, Neko's back!
[05:21] <Lip`Fung> Neko? You lost me there... What's
Neko?
[05:23] <Ruby`Chan> Lara you, silly. I thought
everybody knew that. Anyhow,
she's back and I won't be at Noir tonight. We're probably
going to have
dinner in some fancy French restaurant.
[05:24] <Lip`Fung> <Still sleepy and having a
headache from that bad dream>
And you're called me just to tell me that. Anyway, i won't
be going to the
bar tonight. Late shift you remember?
[05:26] <Ruby`Chan> <Remains silent for a while.
This fellow can be pretty
unsocialable in the morning.> Actually I wanted you to
come along.
[05:27] <Lip`Fung> Whatever for? Don't you two need to
catch up on each
other more than you need to see me? <sarcastically>
[05:29] <Ruby`Chan> Well, I'm worried. Lara isn’t the
kind of person to
run off like that.
[05:30] <Ruby`Chan> I was hoping you could probably
sit in while I question her.
[05:30] <Ruby`Chan> I have a feeling it has something
to do with a Retrotech
guy
[05:31] <Lip`Fung> What? You want be to sit in and
help to interrogate your
best friend? Just over some guy who happens to work in the
same company
as me is probably after her.
[05:33] <Ruby`Chan> Not really, it's just that you
probably know this person
and... I want to see you.
[05:33] <Lip`Fung> <pauses a moment at what she
said> Who is this Retrotech
person anyway?
[05:35] <Ruby`Chan> <Quickly digs through her purse
to find the name card>
Wait... i think it's a Herry Soo... or something like that
[05:36] <Ruby`Chan> <Finds the name card right at
the bottom and pulls it
out> Okay, Herusu Tyler Hunter
[05:38] <Lip`Fung> <Is suddenly a little more awake
then he was a minute
ago> Could you repeat what you just said
[05:40] <Ruby`Chan> I said, it's Herusu Tyler Hunter.
Some field medic of
some sort. Works with Retrotech.
[05:40] <Ruby`Chan> A subordinate of yours?
[05:42] <Lip`Fung> Ermmm... actually I'm kind of his
father's employee...
He's the son of the Principal of retrotech
[05:43] <Ruby`Chan> What? That purple haired boy is
actually the son of
some big shot in Retrotech Inc. This could get interesting.
[05:45] <Lip`Fung> Him going after Lara? I don't think
so. From what I hear
he's a shy fellow. I find it hard to believe he would
actually step foot
in Noir let alone chase after Lara.
[05:45] <Ruby`Chan> You have no idea, Fung. Anyway,
what can you tell me
about him? Is he a nice guy?
[05:47] <Lip`Fung> <Laughs> I don't know him in
person Ruby. I really don't
know but I would like to meet him though. I hear he's
interested in chess.
Probably knows a bit of Chinese chess too. I haven't found
an opponent since
I left Malaysia.
[05:49] <Ruby`Chan> Maybe one day you can stop by the
bar and find him
there. With Neko back I'm quite sure he'll be frequenting
Noir again.
[05:50] <Lip`Fung> Maybe I will. Anyway... I really
need to go to work.
Have fun though... you and Lara.
[05:50] <Ruby`Chan> <smiles> Alright, i'm sure
we will. You have fun with
work too.
[05:52] <Lip`Fung> Fun, work. I don't think the two of
them were ever meant
to be in the same sentence. Good day. <Slowly puts down
the phone>
[05:52] <Ruby`Chan> Bye bye...
[05:53] <Ruby`Chan> <After puttin down the phone,
she opens up her wallet
and puts the name card in> Lara Lara, you're playing in
the big league now
aren't you?
[05:54] <Ruby`Chan> *gasp* oh, My God! I'm late for
practice!
[05:56] <Lip`Fung> <Slowly walks back to his
bed> Herusu Tyler Hunter...
Lara 'Neko' Delacroix
[05:59] <Lip`Fung> <Slowly opens a book...and
reads> The evil shall come
and only through the unity of the people... the unity of the
five elements,
the unity of Yin and Yang, male and female, night and day
can it be faced...
[06:01] <Lip`Fung> <sighs> Bad times are about
to fall upon us. But how
can man face it unprepared as it is now.
[06:02] <Lip`Fung> <the signs
of war have already come... the sudden activeness of the
military... the
rising power the major Organizations... the return of the
Mobile Suits>
[06:03] <Lip`Fung> <Takes out an article he took
from the school's library.
On it was the picture of Charon, a Gundam from the pass>
When this all begins
where will the Gundams be?
[06:05] <Lip`Fung> Man is now its own enemy... It took
Gundams to stop the
last war... will we be needing them again?
[06:06] <Lip`Fung> <sighs and gets ready for work.
But the vision of a torned
world remained in his mind> Can man save himself?
