Summary: Johnny has asked Nagisa to have dinner with him, and with nothing better to do, she accepts - bringing along two sadistic, bratty surprises.
the log:
Nagisa walked slowly, her eyes flicking sometimes to her left, sometimes to her right. On either side, there was a Zero accompanying her. To protect her from the "pervert," they said; she did not believe they were wrong, and was, for once, glad to have their company. She was not very good with "sociality".
It reminded her, this arrangement, of how few friends she had in her world, and even fewer in this one. She had not bothered to wash her skirt and blouse with extreme care, and had simply stopped wearing the petticoat and bloomers that she had been wearing under it when she had arrived every day. Her reason for such neglect in her personal appearance - fashion being something she generally prided herself in, had she the extensive wardrobe that she had crafted herself - was not that she was lazy. No. It was that she had no one to see, and nothing to do. Generally, she would wear a nice outfit to go to see Ritsu, or visit 7, or even just to go grocery shopping; in Discedo, she hung out in her apartment with Youji and Natsuo and LOVELESS. all. day. long. And washing her petticoat, it occurred to her how she was much more alone here than she was even at home - which was quite an accomplishment.
And with no more chips to remove, she felt at a loss for a new project. She didn't even have a Ritsu or 7 figure in Discedo to go bother. She had Kaidou Kio - and she wasn't quite sure that she was fond of him - and then enemies, like BLOODLESS's Fighter, and just people she didn't particularly care for, like Agatsuma Soubi, or Aoyagi Ritsuka. Beyond that, who else? A crazy person who thought he was the United States of America, personified? No, thank you, she would much rather spend her days being tortured about her age by Youji and Natsuo.
It very briefly crossed her mind, as she descended the final step of the stairs to the second floor, to wonder what she would have done if this proposal would have come up while Ritsu was here. Of course, Ritsu's presence did NOT influence how she lived her life, since he was just Ritsu, but... What if?
Nagisa stopped before approaching their destination, halting about two doors away. She stepped forward and, turning to face Natsuo and Youji with a stern expression, stuck her palm out at them at arms length.
"Do NOT humiliate me." She spoke in a harsh tone, though not very, compared to how she spoke with them often other times. She lowered her arm, smoothing down the folds in her skirts casually, and adjusting the ruffled bib and bow at the top of her blouse. She was quite unfortunate to have appeared in Discedo in such an elegant ensemble - the environment was certainly wrecking havoc on the delicate torchon and rose laces in her blouse, much to her chagrin.
She continued, "I know you say he is a pervert, and you very well may not be incorrect in that theory - but what you do tonight will reflect on me later. Pretend to be well-mannered. If you behave, Jade has promised that you may watch him dissect a monster, once he acquires the equipment." She spoke much more sweetly at this note, smiling. She was also quite looking forward to that.
And without waiting for Zero's solemn promise to be on their best behaviour, Nagisa turned her back to them, and walked briskly towards the door that read '208.' She knocked lightly, but firmly, and collected her calmness.
There was a burden in trying to date women with children - and that was the children.
