They probably don't want you to try to cram everyone onboard and flee.

[ back to rubbing, but she didn't wipe off the droplets of condensation from her fingers before she did so. oops. ] Or take people skydiving. God, can you imagine?

[me_matey]

-There's a slight gasp at the cold wetness, but it devolved into a light moan as the pressure set in, putting her head back against the bar.-

I think you need a license for that...

[burndownforwhat]

[ oh, uh. she... totally meant for that to happen.

only not. yowza. ] Uh-huh, heh, I'd like to see them arrest us ... in the sky!

[me_matey]

I only play a pirate in the ring. -She let out another soft sound, melting into the bar.- Other me may have been a brazen criminal but I don't think I've got the chops for it.

[burndownforwhat]

Fair enough. But I'm pretty sure it's going to get to the point with me where I can do that kind of stuff without even needing a parachute. And if I want to jump from the Towers again without a parachute, it's not technically base-jumping and thus not technically illegal, right?

[ yeah Jen. really wants to do that again. maybe it was the worst way to get her name into people's minds when she got here but at the same time, 1) it worked, and 2) her mother got her out of trouble in the end so it wouldn't do permanent damage to her career.

all this talking and she's not quite paying attention to her hands drifting inward toward the sides of Satsuki's neck muscles. it's all so knotted up around here it's hard to tell where the problems begin and end. but those sounds? they're totally worth it. ]

[me_matey]

-Satsuki let her head roll around in those comforting fingers, strength and tenderness sharing space in how they eased out all of her stress and the abuse she put her body through that night. A lot of nights.-

Well if I get the Mayship flying, you'll be the first to know. Or, I guess everyone on the beach will be the first, but eh. -Another long sigh, edge of a moan.-

[burndownforwhat]

You'd bett— ahh! [ that gasp came with Jen bumping right up against Satsuki in the chair as someone tried to squeeze past others at the bar and these two. okay, so Jen was technically kind of blocking the way and not paying attention but. wow, she did not need that right then and there.

or maybe she did. with a bit of a growl to her voice, she turned her head at the offending party who, to their credit, did pause to apologize. ] H-hey, watch out!

[me_matey]

-Satsuki was lucky she didn't knock the drinks over as her chest suddenly bumped into the bar cushion, but... hmm. She... sure was just gonna let herself, uh. Lean back. Into Jen. Because that was a very comfortable cushion at the moment.

The other patron was quick to apologize, at least. Lost their balance trying to head to the bathroom. Also gave a shot out to Satsuki and complimented her on her match tonight. Huge fan.-

Hey, no problem... -Satsuki kind of murmured, sipping her drink, still very much in a comfortable place all of the sudden.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ wait, just how long was that going on? Jen let herself get too distracted by what was happening around her and not what was happening to her. she gave an awkward sort of laugh before rapping her fingers against Satsuki's shoulders. ] Ahh, having fun down there?

[ it's funny because there's no way she would be, right? hahaha! ha. ]

[me_matey]

-Satsuki giggled, finishing off her drink.- You're turning me into a fun puddle. And I've found a bowl I fit into. -Namely, leaning against Jen's chest.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ okay, that? that earned another snort of laughter. ]

If you're not careful, someone might just drink you up. [ me. ]

[me_matey]

Not at this bar. -Satsuki snorted, herself.- Felicia would kill someone, probably.

[burndownforwhat]

Oh yeah? [ she tapped on Satsuki's head. ] Then you'd better move before your temptation gets someone killed.

[ hahah.... ] And anyway, it's hard to keep working like this. I can't reach where I need to.

[me_matey]

Well, by all means, carry on. -Satsuki gave a wink, ordering another drink for herself.-

[burndownforwhat]

What, like your ... abs? [ quick! must defuse sexual tension through TICKLING. ]

[me_matey]

Ack! -Satsuki nearly doubled over, pushing her hips out, and it was a damn good thing the stool was attached to the bar itself or else she would have fallen on her ass right there.-

[burndownforwhat]

Haha, a weakness has been spotted! Will her opponent get the mighty pirate to finally yield? [ it's a poor approximation of an announcer's voice, but it gets the point across. Jen is good about keeping herself steady so that neither of them fall over, while also making sure to keep up the assault on Satsuki's sides. people are probably staring but whatever! ]

[me_matey]

-Eh, it wasn't like it was the first time Satsuki and Jen had been cute together in the bar. The staff even had a few giggles. Satsuki was mostly flailing, trying to not break something with accidental super strength. Or knock over her glass.-

I tap, I tap! -She said, rapidly slapping the bar.-

[burndownforwhat]

[ Jen quickly halted her assault, having the same feeling that if she kept it up things could get dangerous.

or something would break.

either way, she raised her hands in triumph. ] Hurray! I win!

And to the victor go the spoils. [ she will just reach on over and intercept Satsuki's new drink and take a big gulp...

ending up in a coughing fit, most like. see this? this is part of why she doesn't usually drink. ] Eeugh! Nevermind. You can keep it. Ahem.

[me_matey]

-Satsuki was still catching her breath when she took her drink back, still laughing, as she took a long pull of it.-

I got a taste for this stuff when I was in Japan. They don't fool around in the motherland, lemme tell you.

[burndownforwhat]

Yeah yeah, look at you being all... cultured and stuff. [ Jen moved back to her seat and swirled her glass around before using the cool juice to clean her pallet. ]

[me_matey]

I dunno if you can call it culture. -Satsuki shrugged.- But is it weird to say I feel... more Japanese since I spent all that time there? Like it wasn't just for my career, I felt like...

So the other me is Japanese, too, but she has like... no connection to it. -Because there was no longer a Japan to connect to.- And I realize I was kind of like that before I went, you know? Just like... Japan was a place. My grandparents on my dad's side were born and live there. It's where my language comes from. It was just another spot on the globe, you know? I didn't feel... I don't wanna say 'connected' again, but that's how it is, right?

[burndownforwhat]

[ this got real deep, real quick. Jen sat up and became more attentive, brow furrowed as she focused on what her friend was saying. ]

Mmm, I guess you're right? I can't relate, you know, but it sounds legit. [ after all, her mother went through such pains to divorce Jen from how she was born and how society might treat someone like her. "Jinjing" was too young to understand it at the time and probably can never relate to what someone growing up as Chinese-American here would be like.

at the same time she, herself, has no connection or desire to connect with her origins. the "other self" from her dreams left a lot of questions in her mind, too, but there were not enough clues there about the world itself that she sought after. except maybe to eventually figure out what kind of place it must be where teenagers have to fight giant robots as part of an obvious team. they didn't look or act like superheroes, that's for sure. so... what was it?

oh no. Jen's doing that Thing again where she's staring at her arm, lost in thought. ]

[me_matey]

Mm... Sorry, that got heavy. -She finished off the last of her drink in one solid, wincing gulp.-

I should call it a night.

[burndownforwhat]

Nah, it's okay. You know I'm good with whatever's on your mind, yeah?

[ "yeah?" huh. that's odd for her but whatever. it works. Jen swishes her drink around s'more. ] Still, if you want to clock out, I won't hold you up. In fact, I'm good to get you back home if you want me to.
