| "Nyet. I am fine. If its something fast, then I guess a street vendor will do." Going down a few side streets, he picks up some sort of sandwhich with egg and beef on it. Handing it back to him he nods and drives on. "Tell me honestly Mr Aouli, could you fire on someone, or another ship, cause or not?" |
| "Thanks" He said beginning to bite into the sandwich enjoyably. Raising an eyebrow at the question he finished chewing the bite and swallowed. "First I would need cause, second sure, though don't expect me to shoot to kill." "Guessing this mission is going to be dangerous huh?" he replies |
 |
| (next post in tower.) Nodding the Russian shrugs. "Maybe. But the Boss will tell you what you need to know. Once we arrive, head to the top floor, you've been cleared, and some surprising faces will be there..but let me be clear, you can easilly object to taking part in any fighting, this is fine, Da. However. Should you refuse in full.." Leaving his words unfinished, the car speedidly heads for the tower. |
| ~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~ Noticing James he sighs a bit. "You didn't even watch the fight did you?" The Land lady stares at him and scoffs. "And what do you want, white haired fellow. (not much I can post here, waiting on emp mostly) |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Did you?" he says giving a appropriate expression toward him. He drops it and turns to the lady. "Hello sorry to bother you but I believe I have a room here." "Name is James Smith." he responds polity to the land lord. He had faced angry land lords in the past and rather not have to deal with it again. |
|
| "No. I was escourting the lady. Whom I'm now offering a place to stay, for aiding me. What of you my Kamerad?" Looking at James the landlord sighs. "Yes maybe we do. American-san. But you did not make the formal arrangements as your Gaijin friend there did..so what are you looking for, this room here will be up for grabs. Or do you want something like your Friend?" |
| "Of course I won't freeload. You have no need to worry. Neither am I the type of person to invade your personal space... I would not risk you kicking me out as well..." Kazuko stated with a nod. She then followed Eric slightly out of her former room to see James. "He is here as well... That is very ironic..." She mused, examining him in his more sober state. |
 |
| "Huh, I thought I made formal arrangements for here." "Guess I forgot haha." He said rubbing the back of his head. "I rather not take the place if it means her being evicted." He said motioning his head toward the girl. "I'm looking for a place to shower and now stay Eric." "Mind if I use your place till I can find one of my own?" |
|
| "She's already being evicted regardless." The Landlady scoffs and walks off, leaving Eric in a odd position. "I promised her room and board, plus for the kittens.." Sighing a bit he decides its best to leave it up to Kazuto. "My frau?" Nodding at what she had said he goes on to speak. "Not so surprising really." |
| "Yes... Either way I'm getting kicked out..." Kazuko repeated with a sigh. She shook her head at herself. "We have school today... I'll move my stuff when we return. If that is alright?" She questioned him. "Hm?" She looked to Eric inquisitively. "It's your space... Beggars cannot be choosers as one might say." |
|
| "Yes that would be fine." Looking at the girl he bows lightly handing her the key. "Why don't you go ahead with the kittens and pick your room? I will be along shortly. Ja, my frau?" Motioning for James to follow he waits till they are out of earshot. "So do you really need a place to stay? My Kamerad." Looking at James head on, it wouldn't surprise him if it was some sort of joke. "Albit I may have a Third Alternative." |
| Sighing he rubs the top of his head in frustration. "Yes, I thought I made arrangements for a place already." "Apparently I forgot or I called the wrong place, I'm not entirely sure." "Do you mind if I use your place for awhile?" "Not sure of the rates here and don't want to spend a miniature fortune when I could perfectly sleep outside just as well." "Third alternative?" he says seriously though quizzically at the end. |
|
| "Simple, you take her old apartment, use it for sleeping, or we use it for, ach, our storage. Eitherway it allows us to make use of both buildings, ja?" It seemed sound enough to him the Apartment wasn't really that big, hers that was, but could be suitable for them in either capacity. |
| "Well if she doesn't mind sure." "Hopefully it's cheap though." "By the way, how was your night?" he says with a grin. |
|
| Kazuko nodded and took the keys. "Thank you, once again..." She told him before returning inside her former room. She grabbed Toru and placed him in the box with the other kittens before making her way down to Eric's apartment. After dropping off the kittens, then she'd come back take a shower and get changed into her uniform. |
|
| Eric looks at him with a raises eyebrow. "What do you mean? I slept on the floor. Nothing more nothing less. Though I do admit I have a interst in the Frau..albit for reasons other than you expect..however I think she doesn't like you much, ja? I would not press her on it, so. What do we do with this room? Sleeping quarters for you?" Crossing his arms he waits for some sort of reply. |
| Laughing lightly he shakes his head responding. "Nothing" He doubted Eric would do anything, though he found amusement in his slightly innocent reaction. "Yeah, though I don't mind it being used for storage as long as it's not rotting." "Also I'll try to stay clear of your Frau, wasn't aware she had a dislike for me." |
|
| "Ach it is not personal in her case. Let us leave it at that, ja? Hmm very well it will be our..work storage. First it needs to be secured and reinforced propperly." Nodding iwth his head cutly he spins on his heels to depart. Reacing the apartment he taks a long look around. "Well, Kazuto, how is it?" There were three bedrooms so it shouldn't be a problem. |
| "Perfect." Kazuko stated, scratching Toru's ear a bit before turning around. She had set the box of kittens on what would be her bed for a while. "I'm going to take a shower and change into my uniform. I'll be back afterwards." She told him as she exited and headed back to her former apartment. |
|
| Seeing Eric leave to what James assumed was his apartment, he headed toward the girls apartment. If they were going to be busy at Eric's place he could get a shower in and leave before they got back. Entering the unlocked apartment he located the bathroom and shut the door, proceeding to shower and get the gunk out of his hair. |

| Eric sighs getting a bad feeling about all of this , though it wasn't proper to spy, it wouldn't hurt to just be in the area, would it? Waiting out front for the moving trucks he crosses his arms, and adjusts his tunic, humming what seems to be Panzerlied, he waits. (think I might have him show some of that Laura style crazy soon lulz You will be my wife >>, well maybe not too soon, tough good crazy) |
| Kazuko let out a sigh and rubbed the temples of her head with two fingers. That landlady always gave her a headache in the morning. Entering her apartment, she quickly made her way to her bathroom door and opened, not expecting James to be in there. Upon seeing him, she let out a surprised yelp and quickly slammed the door shut. "A-At least l-lock the door!" Kazuko chastised from behind the door before she sighed once again and went to get her uniform. She supposed that she'd have to use one in Eric's apartment or wait. (Lol, sounds good to me. Go nuts xD) |

| Hearing the girl yelp and the door slam he looked over. "Guess they weren't gone as long as I thought." "The door being closed and the shower on was enough tsh." he thought as he proceeded to wash the soap out of his hair. |
AstrosJun 4, 2014 8:04 AM
|
| (not seeing anything I can do here yet) As the trucks arrive he heads back into his apartment, hearing the shower running in his, he opens it assuming to find James. And was soon to find himself horribly wrong. |
| Kazuko had just gotten into the shower and managed to regain her composure after her little mistake. She sighed again, working the shampoo into her hair before she heard the door open. Her head shot over to it as it opened to see Eric and in response, she let out another scream and quickly crouched down, wrapping her arms around herself to cover herself as best as possible. "K-Knock damn it!" She stuttered at him with a beet red face. |
|
| Rather than reacting as most would, he stares as if it was nothing strange at all, grabbing a toothbrush he looks over at her. "Ach, go back to the shower, I will not stare." To him it was nothing strange or out of place. Though she might have other things to say. |
| Drying himself off James puts his original clothes back on. Leaving the bathroom and saying "All yours." Though looking around he see's no sign of the girl. Hearing his stomach growl and wanting to quell his hunger he leaves. Walking toward Eric's place and planning to loot his fridge. |
|
| "Wha-" Kazuko was genuinely shocked and confused at this. "W-W-What the hell do you mean 'Go back to the shower'?! I-I will not!" She protested, reaching out and yanking one of the towels off the rack to better cover herself. "D-Don't act l-like this is something normal!" |
|
| (there is no fridge here yet fufufu) Eric stares at her with a raised eyebrow and sighs. "Its not?...hmm..very well my frau." With that he turns around and leaves, but stops at the door before closing it. "Don't forget the soap behind your ears." |
| Entering the apartment he goes to the kitchen to find there isn't even a fridge. Sighing in disappointment he doesn't know what to do. "Maybe the girl will let me mooch off her." he thought. Calling for Eric he plans to ask if he's seen her. "Yoo Eric! You here?" |
|
| "Wha-" Kazuko began however was unable to get any words out. She was completely flabbergasted at this encounter. She was as well extremely embarrassed, and for some reason she was also pissed at his reaction. After scowling at the now closed door, still blushing madly, she put the towel back on the rack and continued her shower. |
|
| "Ja I am here. What do you need?" Looking at eric he's brushing his teeth in the hall. Thinking back on the girl, he remarks to himself, she looks fitter than she thinks. |
| Seeing him in the hall brushing his teeth he raises an eyebrow. "You seen your lady friend anywhere?" "Need to request something of her." |
|
| Looking at James he shrugs speaking loud enough where its likely even Kazuto could hear. "Oh shes in the washroom. I do not understand why she was so flusterd, ja? She's very pretty. Nothing to be ashamed of." |
RedArmyShogunJun 4, 2014 11:38 AM
| Raising both eyebrows at the statement James chuckles lightly. "Really now?!" he says in a surprised tone matching Eric's volume. Walking past Eric he grabs the knob and gives it a twist. Opening the door but only enough to speak clearly into the room. Hoping to give her a little scare in the act. "Hey pretty lady, it's Mr. can't lock the door." "Have anything in your fridge you don't mind me having?" Quite famished" he says through the crack. |
|
| Upon hearing them, Kazuko scowled at the closed door, as if glaring directly at Eric. She then heard the door opening once more and quickly grabbed the towel to cover herself again, however relaxing slightly as she realized that it he wasn't peeking or anything. She blushed slightly at his words, mainly at the hypocrisy. She chastised him for not locking the door, yet she did the same as he did, leading to Eric just walking in. "Take whatever you need. I owe both you..." She responded, staring down the crack in the doorway to make sure it didn't open any farther. |
|
| "Well if you say that I might eat everything in the fridge, haha." "I'll choose sparingly, thank you." He said as he closed the door and headed down the hall. "Want to join me?" He says lightly walking past Eric. |
|
| "No, I will stay here, work on marking off my belongings." With that he curtly bows, walking off with a list in hand. |
| After finishing her shower, she exited the bathroom fully dressed in her uniform. She immediately went back to what would be her room where the kittens were. She petted Toru as well as the others for a bit before sighing and heading back up to her former apartment in order to get her schoolbag. |
|
| Having left Eric's apartment James was already eating stuff from the girls fridge. Picking stuff that was close to expiration or didn't seem saved out of favor. Seeing the girl enter her apartment he greets her 'Yo" he says lazily raising a hand. Taking another bite he tries to remember her name but fails to. Swallowing and emptying his mouth he says "Don't believe we've exchanged names yet. I'm James." He wasn't one much for formalities but it annoyed him not to know her name. |
|
| "Yes... Eric told me yours but I don't think you've ever heard mine. It's Kazuko." She introduced herself as she reentered the apartment. Going over next to the small coffee table in the middle of the room and picking up her schoolbag from it. "...Sorry... About earlier I mean. You didn't lock it but I should have noticed the lights were on and heard the shower going... I was a bit preoccupied with my own thoughts." |
|
| "Kazuko huh....Kazuko....has a ring to it.... Kauzko..." "Huh? Oh tssh it's fine." He says shaking his head. Looking at her up close she reminds him of someone yet he can't remember exactly who. |
|
| Kazuko sighed once more, checking through the confines of the bag before pausing and looking back at James. "Strange question... But... Do men just not get bothered by that sort of thing? Or is it just that I'm strange?" She questioned, referring to the little encounter in the bathroom... twice. Both he and Eric held a nonchalant expression about, both when she almost walked in and when Eric himself walked in. |
|
| Laughing slightly he replies "No wouldn't say that, depends on the person and their age really." "Older you get the less important it seems." "I'm sure you'll see more than me naked in the shower in due time." "Also it's not like you did it on purpose." Smirking and letting his curiosity get the better of him he asks. "Eric walked in on you didn't he." |
|
| "W-What's that supposed to mean?" Kazuko questioned him regarding his comment on her "seeing more than him naked in the shower". She paused, not knowing if she should tell, before hesitantly nodding. "Well... Yes... What was more surprising than him walking in was him seemingly not caring." |
|
| "Nothing personal, though you'll understand with time." he answered her as she got flustered. "Well if you consider his background it shouldn't be." "He was never educated on the formalities of society, so nudity to him is no big." Though James was surprised at his compliment to her earlier. Eric would usually analyze something and give a calculative opinion based on that. Maybe this girl means something to him, James thought. |
|
| Kazuko didn't know what to make of that answer, so she merely went on to comment about the other. She doubted that she could get an answer out of him anyway. "Really? He said that he was trained in many ways. Said his father had high expectations since he is the eldest. Though, that would explain it..." She mused. She had assumed he knew about things such as that. Disregarding a few things, he seemed completely normal. |
|
| "True though being up to date on societies customs probably wasn't on top of the list." "Don't get the wrong idea though, I highly doubt there was any perverted intent behind it, knowing Eric." "Though if you want to know more about him you'll have to ask him yourself." He said returning to eating the food from the fridge. |
|
| "I suppose it wouldn't..." Kazuko mused to herself. She blushed slightly and quickly dismissed his assurance. "T-That's not the problem! The problem is anyone seeing me like that at all!" She stated, sighing as she regained her composure in order to keep herself from stuttering. "By the way, how do you two know each other. I know Eric told me that he was born here and then moved abroad quite quickly, but what of you? You're an American, aren't you?" |
|
| Chewing up the bite had and smirking at her gaining her composure again he swallowed. "Work of fate really, ever since the first time we met I just keep running into him." "I work in the same field as Eric, so work brought me here along with him it seems." "Indeed I'm from the U.S. though I like traveling when I can." he ended taking another bite. |
