Fifth Floor Commons - Evening

Togusa is stretched out on the couch, watching television. His audio jack has now turned into an annoying earworm of "Inna Gadda da Vida, very low, but there. He finds it easy to ignore, because he's gotten a response from Batou, and is thinking very hard about what the man told him. He doesn't recall standing next to Amarki and telling Batou to go on vacation. He keeps pondering this and watches the history channel.

[ooc: come on in and feel free to bother him. He's a little emo-y but not too bad.]

Nadia strode into the common room, almost completely ignoring Togusa for the time being. She looked behind the television. She looked under the couch. She over turned a chair. Finally, she straightened, put her hands on her hips, and let out a breath.

"Have you seen my cat?"

"Nope, no cat. What does it look like?" Togusa leaned up.

Nadia frowned. "He's blue. And he's got a bandage on his tail. And he's pretty . . . excitable."

"Oh, Furball," He recalled from the superball fight. "No, I haven't seen him...when did you see him last?"

Nadia shrugged. "Before class. I try to keep him in my room, but . . . ." She huffed out another breath. "Thanks anyway. If you see him, can you keep an eye on him?"

"Sure. I'll tell the tank to look for small animals in case he got outside. He'll give me a heads up if he sees it. I'll just drop him off in your room if I find him?"

*Tachikoma, watch out for a blue cat, excitable, and tell me if you see him.* He gave the command with that blasted song still faint in his head.

Nadia nodded distractedly. "Yeah, okay. A tank? Right, right, the tank." She smiled at him, "Thanks," and left to keep looking.

"Look at this! I was beginning to think that you had dropped out of school already."

Walter walked in and flopped down on the couch, usurping the remote control with a flick of wire.

"Why are you watching the news channel?" Walter frowned at the WWII documentary and flipped stations. It made him homesick.

"Huh? That's the History Channel, man. I was watching it." He thought of grabbing the remote back, but settled for just watching what Walter flicked to. "Haven't dropped out, just been thinking. Seems a lot of people are doing that. Have you seen a blue cat around?"

"Furball?" Walter flipped through the channels and stopped on Bitterwoman, mainly because it seemed to be on most channels at some point or another.

"No, I haven't seen him, or Pup might be feeling fat and sassy."

"Pup wouldn't eat a cat, would he?" For a moment, he was a little wary. "How is the little puppy? I haven't seen him around for a while. Nor you. What have you been up to?"

"I think Pup would eat anything I allowed him to, but I will not allow him to eat Furball." Even if he deserved it.

"Pup is being a good dog. Which is a good thing. I suppose he took me seriously when I told him that I would send him home if he misbehaved.

"And I am here. I have something to do every day, so I am kept busy. Like tomorrow night I have to work for my new tutor."

"New tutor? That's news. What are you learning?" Togusa looked a little lost for a second, then looked back at the television. "Where are working?" He glanced down and saw the red marks. "What on earth happened to your wrist?" he looked up. "And your face?"

"My new tutor is teaching me more about specialty bultering. His restaurant, Cafe Fina, is opening tomorrow."

He ignored the questions about his face and wrist.

"You have a red stripe on your face. That's teaching you?" He thought that discpline was taking new levels. Focusing, he narrowed his eyes and looked further before flopping back down. "So what's the tricks for butlering? I thought you were a vampire hunter."

Pippi comes flownsing in wearing a huge blue knitted scarf and a sweater that reaches down to her calf.

"Togusa! What's going on here? How can you be inside when it's snowing out there??"

Togusa waved. "Just laying around and listening to bad music in my head. Bothering Walter here. How much is out there? Enough for some fun?"

"How much? Just look!"

She runs over to the window and throws it open, letting the snow (and cold) blow into the common room.

"We gotta go out and do something out there."

Walter took the opportunity to ignore Togusa's question (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/428547.html?thread=18380803#t18380803) and waved at Pippi.

"What do you want to do? Build snow dragons?"

Togusa shivered and looked outside. Better to get Batou's message out of his brain and have fun. "Okay, you guys, I call for a tachikoma joyride. Let's test out the traction on it." He turned and hummed a few bars of Iron Buttterfly before looking at both. "How about it? I've got enough noise in my brain today that needs to get flushed out."

"Oh! Are you sure it will be okay? It's rather slushy down there."

"Sure. They're built sturdy. I'll even show you some tricks before you climb in." Plugging in would help as well. "Don't worry, I have it covered, as soon as Walter wants to ride."

Pippi is leaning way out of the window, so that her feet are up in the air.

"Just a dragon? We should make a whole snow managerie... Oh... But the snow isn't collecting on the ground..."

"Then we will have to do something else."

Walter shrugged and looked over at Togusa, "Tachikoma joyride? You forget, I have ridden in Tachikoma. It is a bumpy ride. Can it keep up with snow?"

Togusa looked over at Walter and grinned. "If not the roads, it can always take the walls! Come on, let's go!"

Togusa grabbed Pippi's ankle. "Be careful there." He didn't want her falling out. "Snow collecting or not, we can go for a ride."

Pippi's foot waggled on Togusa's grip.

"Carefull. Nadia and I talked about what to do when a big bad evil guy's got yer foot."

She twisted around and sat on the window sill.

"Well... One outta four ain't bad."

Togusa let go of her foot and laughed. "I won't grab your foot as long as you don't hang out of windows. Speaking of, she came in here a while ago looking for furball. Have you seen him around?"

"Hmmm, no. I can't say I have seen him."

"We have to keep an eye out for the little hairball. I promised Nadia I would keep an eye out for him."

"He is not a bad evil guy? Walter looked over at Togusa, who was a good deal larger than he.

"Did you have something else in mind? Have you met Tachikoma?"

"Wasn't it how you and Victor got home from the bonfire?"

"The one and only. Much easier than trying to carry him up there myself."

"Me, Big bad and evil?" Togusa feigned shock, and looked down at Walter for a second before taking a step back. "Well, we can try it out on the streets and see how it handles in this weather. I'll be in control at all times. No need to worry."

"Great! What are we waiting for?"

"I have no idea!" Togusa said. "Walter, you up for a run?"

"Of course I am." As though there would be any other answer.

"Alright. Let's go. Tachikoma joyride!" Togusa headed out, waving at the others to follow him.

[ooc: I'll create a new post in Townies for the joyride.]

Joyride starts Here. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/574766.html)
