Lunar Boot Camp

[Corwin]

Luna struggles in Rei's arms, until getting a whiff of her and fainting.

"Oh my God! You killed Luna!" Eiko screeches.

[Corwin]

"How mean of you," Genkai says, looking disapprovingly at Rei. "What did that poor cat ever do to you, Rika dead?"

[Ebiris]

Rei looks down at the unconscious cat in her arms and shrugs. Not quite what she was trying to accomplish, but the net result is the same.

"Here, she just fainted," Rei says, handing the cat back to the redhead. "Anyway, why are you looking for the Princess? Surely any self-respecting member of royalty would travel on something with a bit more style than that piece of crap," she waves to the burning hulk of the Millenium Frog. "My name is Rika," she bows to the other girls, doing her best to ignore the old crone.

[Brian]

Looking horribly confused, Makoto tries to puzzle things out.... If the old woman's eccentric... but no, the younger one is trying to talk to the cat. Mau. Cat.

Wait, was there any guarantee that the younger girl was coherent enough to actually realize that it was Mau, and not a cat? "Err... Eiko-chan... maybe the fumes from those chemicals are getting to her.... Should we call a medic?"

[Ebiris]

"No, no! That won't be necessary, I'm fine! Really, totally fine!" The princess waves her hands frantically as she tries to reassure the would-be good samaritan. "In fact, we're both fine!" she moves over to stand by Genkai, but refrains from touching the evil old woman, "And we were both just leaving! As soon as I get my..." she trails off and looks at the burning Millenium Frog, "... luggage..."

Rei examines the ship to try and determine if the luggage hold is even intact anymore.

[Brian]

Makoto considers things while the black (white) haired young woman in the colorful (white) dress stares at the burning ruin of the flaming Frog. Deciding that with Luna unconsious and this 'Rika' obviously in shock from the accident that she is the most capable one (outside of the apparently distracted older woman who is, not, in fact, a Princess of Mars), Makoto promptly falls back on her parents' oldest course of action:

"Eiko-chan, what do you think we should do?"

[Corwin]

Eiko ponders her friend's question.

"Well, we could still call a medic, or we could just take Luna with us and leave that poor, poor girl alone with her dear old, old grandmother." Shrugging, she adds, "It's been a while since we had something to eat, right?"

[Corwin]

Rei notices that the cargo hold is on fire, but still miraculously intact.

[Brian]

Makoto looks at Eiko sidelong. "You still think with your stomach," she murmurs. "Alright, let's get them to the medics. I suppose if they can walk they aren't horribly injured. Once we take care of that I'll make us lunch."

Taking a few steps away, Makoto pauses, and turns to look at Eiko questioningly, completely ignoring both the old woman and the gunk-encrusted younger girl, to say the last of the rampaging fire on the Milenium Frog. "Do you think they'll let me cook?"

[Ebiris]

"Ack! It's on fire, and all my stuff is in there!" Rei cries, looking around to see if the emergency services are actually doing anything about the flaming wreck in the middle of the spaceport, since she doesn't feel like tackling the blaze herself...

[Corwin]

"Sure, I don't see why not, Mako-chan," Eiko replies with another shrug. "If it comes to that, we can buy you a kitchen, right?"

[Corwin]

As Rei looks around, she notices that the burning wreckage is on a special, remote runway, a shiny sign proclaiming it to be 'Reserved for the Millennium Frog'. A smaller sign advertizes barbeques, pegging the admittance fee at several pennies.

A few men in emergency services uniforms are dancing around the burning wreckage, while another holds what looks like sweet potatoes on sticks towards the fire.

[Ebiris]

Rei stares at the amazing display of pure craptasticness from the Lunar emergency services. For a moment she looks like she might go over to give them a piece of her mind, but then she just shrugs and shakes her head. "None of it's irreplaceable, and I'm insured anyway. We may as well just leave before the spaceship EXPLODES!" she yells the last word at the dancing emergency services, and begins walking to the terminal with as much dignity as she can manage. "Besides, I bet half my clothes aren't even in fashion here on the Moon..."

[Corwin]

As Rei walks away, she hears someone calling out, "Wait, please, Miss Rika!"

[Ebiris]

Rei halts and turns to see who is calling for her, guessing it must be that Vir fellow, since aside from those two girls, she hasn't used the Rika alias on anyone else.
