Talking to [@DracoLunaris] and [@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN] and [@Lugubrious] Word Count: 755 Points Gained: 2 New EXP Balance--- Level 4: 05/40 [/center] Everything regarding the Water Princess and Ranger, and this new ship girl, seemed to be working out. She must have missed her introduction. She had big monstrous tails, and a very revealing outfit in a way that sort of dehumanized her. There was nothing wrong with showing some skin but those clothes were clearly just placed on her by somebody else with no regard for what she would actually want. She ended up feeling quite bad for her. Kamek had given her a heart, and it was clear she wasn't sure what to do with it. She was just a weapon, made to be disposable. It made Sakura sad, so she was going to try and introduce her to concepts like friendship and hobbies! Junior also had some...pretty bad ideas. [color=fff79a]"Y-yeah, let's just have Seaplane Tender Water Princess stay here on the Atomos. Man, that [i]is[/i] a mouthful."[/color] Sakura said, mumbling the last part more to herself. Princess Peach was somewhere else, and Kamek was going to go looking for her. [color=fff79a]"Hmm,"[/color] Sakura stayed seated, rubbing her chin as she considered the sitaution. [color=fff79a]"Well, I still feel pretty crappy because I got blown up. I kinda wanna be lazy, y'know?"[/color] She admitted with a sheepish smile. [color=fff79a]"I'll stay here with the other ship girls and Junior. If that's okay? Maybe catch a nap or something? Just don't forget to come back and get us before getting dinner, okay?"[/color] She said. Sakura would descend down the ramp to wave goodbye to whoever left. [color=fff79a]"Hi, there, Captain Briney,"[/color] She said while she was still there. When she realised he might not recognize her, she got awkward and retreated back up into the Atomos. [color=fff79a][i](I kinda feel bad about absorbing this ship girl's spirit. I hope that if she was still all here, she would be happy with the things I did. I guess...I guess she kinda is me, now, though, right? We combined. So if she wouldn't be happy, I would know...? I don't even know her name. I should ask Ranger about her.)[/i][/color] [color=fff79a]"Uh, hey Junior,"[/color] She called up to the turtle boy. [color=fff79a]"I'm gonna go check up on the other ship girls. Call me if there's trouble, okay?"[/color] With that she headed inside to the back bedroom. [color=fff79a]"Okay, ladies."[/color] Sakura triumphantly appeared in the doorway with a confident smile, stance wide, fists on her hips. [color=fff79a] I think we need to come up with some names! Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class and Seaplane Tender Water Princess won't do! And maybe we should go shopping. Or maybe I'll go shopping and just bring back a bunch of clothes and we do make overs. Especially you, Heavy Cruiser Ri-Class. I think you need something tough and cool and punk. And blue! It'll match your eyes."[/color] She said. [color=fff79a]"Oh, I'm Sakura, by the way. This is Ranger, and this,"[/color] She paused. [color=fff79a]"Is Seaplane Tender Water Princess. Yeah, see? New names. Nick names!"[/color] She sat down on the bed.[color=fff79a] "Ri-class? Maybe...Ririka? Riri?" [/color] She looked her up and down. [color=fff79a]"Hmm. I don't want to force something on you. It's an important decision! But, it's also one that can be reversed later if you want to change your name."[/color] She added. [color=fff79a]"And Seaplane Tender Water Princess,"[/color] she inhaled, and then laughed, out of breath. Her studying eye turned to the Water Princess.[color=fff79a] "You sound like you're from France. Do you know France? I think a beautiful french name would suit you."[/color] Sakura placed her thumb on her chin and tried to think of French girl names. [color=fff79a]"...Charlotte?"[/color] She said. It was from a children's book. The only other french name she could think of was the name of that old queen that got her head chopped off by angry people. Too grim! Unfortunately, Charlotte also dies at the end of Charlotte's Web. That made her cry so much. [color=fff79a]"Charlotte is a pretty name. What do you think, Ranger? I guess we could just call them Seaplane and Cruiser. If we wanted to be effecient. And boring, if you ask me."[/color] She crossed her arms and legs on the bed, closing one eye indignantly. [color=fff79a]"Don't just go with that idea. I feel stupid for bringing it up. I want to pressure you two into doing something cool and brave."[/color] Sakura blinked. She straightened her back, now both eyes closing. [color=fff79a]"Not pressure in a bad way- pressure in a good way."[/color] She declared.
