Omake thread, Ami

[Bean Bandit]

"She's a goddess." Ami replies, shrugging and laughing nervously. "It's been a long morning, but...I have reason to take her at her word."

[Anastasia]

"A goddess," Viluy asks. "It wouldn't be any stranger than normal, I suppose...." she concers, idly tapping her chin. As she begins to walk and follow, "How did you meet a goddess, anyway?"

[Bean Bandit]

Ami walks alongside Viluy as they follow her new teacher and Eudial, nervously shrugging. "It...it's a long story...But the short version is, I died this morning."

Ami wrings her hands and sighs. "Of something patently ludicrious. But, Kami-sama allowed me to bargain my way back into life...with some conditions attached. The main one is, when I die again, I'll be doing work for heaven. Skuld being here is to prepare me."

Ami takes a deep breath as she finishes her story, and looks to Viluy's reaction curiously.

[Anastasia]

Calmly as possible, which means a fair amount of wide eyed staring, "You died? How? Working for heaven?" Rattling those off,

"How odd."

[Bean Bandit]

"You have no idea." Ami replies dryly. "I spoke with....Yes, spoke with an old enemy of ours while I was there." Ami glances about, a little shiftily. "And I spoke with Michiru, too."

[Anastasia]

"Really," she asks, taken slightly aback, as you hustle to follow along, to the little area Eudial uses as a garage. "Did she say anything about myself or Haruka?"

[Bean Bandit]

"Sorry..." Ami smiles apologetically. "She spent the time consoling me...I was rather bitter. Zoicite being assigned as my initial guide into the spirit realm after dying was too much to take."

Ami smiles a little. "Though, she does seem rather content, if it helps. I'll...let you decide whether Haruka needs to know that."

[Anastasia]

Before she turns away slightly, you see her eyes are full of conflicted emotions - sorrow, happiness, confusion, enlightenment...

"I'll think about it," she nods, turning to see the other two. Skuld already has the engine to the station wagon popped open, fiddling in there. "Hold on, I'll have it set up in a moment."

* Hatbot --> "Ana-chan rolls 2d6+1 and gets 10."

[Bean Bandit]

Ami watches curiously, wondering what exactly Skuld is up to...and if she's more restrained than the usual modifications to Eudial's vehicle. She moves over to stand near Skuld, unable to resist the temptation to watch the work.

[Anastasia]

Eudial is working as well, the two seeming to be working on the power supply. A big, shiny, red capsule is in place of it....

* Hatbot --> "Ana-chan rolls 2d6+2 and gets 11."

It's hard to follow, but it looks like Skuld is putting in a new type of fuel/power supply. "This'll make it go REALLY FAST," Skuld nods, as she steps back to close the hood. "Come on...you can handle it, right," she asks Eudial.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami smothers a slight giggle at that, and remains content to watch, for the moment. 'Of course I can'...or something along those lines. Hmm...I wonder how that new power source works?

[Anastasia]

Eudial's confidence does indeed show through, as she answers much as you predicted. "There isn't a car I can't drive," she nods, shaking off her dismay and smirking. "Come on...I guess we'll see if this is any good." So saying, sh eheads into the car, Skuld hopping into the back set.

"Get in, you two," she calls to yo uand Viluy.

[Bean Bandit]

Ami hesitates. Mmm...My rather....delicate condition+Eudial's driving=Early return to the afterlife. No thanks. "Umm...I'm not feeling all that well, Eudial." Ami replied nervously. "I'll have to miss this one."

[Anastasia]

"Aw, come on," Skuld pokes her head out. "It'll be fun, Ami," she calls, as Eudial doesn't even get a chance to speak. Viluy hesitates, before shrugging and heading over. "Why not," she murmurs, sending a glance back at you. "See you, Ami, if you're not coming."

[Bean Bandit]

"Sorry, Sensei, but you remember what I was like this morning...I don't want to go back that quickly." Ami smiles to Skuld. "I'll just wait."
