Seventh Performance - Belated Regain

[magique_bonbon]

[Coquelicot is currently standing on the sidewalk in front of her house, staring at her mailbox in a state of shock.]

[Well, okay, more accurately, she's staring at the eight-and-a-half foot tall pink mecha standing NEXT TO it. The Koubu-F2 is completely motionless, though its hand is very definitely inside the mailbox (probably because it was the

[Kallen stops and gapes up at the mech.]

Where did you get that?

[magique_bonbon]

[Coquelicot just shakes her head, not looking at Kallen. Of all the things she was expecting to see again...]

I-I don't know, it was just... here when I came to check the mail!

[radiant_will]

No way. It looks… sort of like the mechs I used to pilot back home.

But it's smaller.

[magique_bonbon]

Eh? You're a mech pilot, too?

... do you fight demons?

[fuelefficient]

[holy christ in japan this is my favorite day ever]

[magique_bonbon]

[Coquelicot doesn't see Japan yet. She's too busy approaching the Koubu-F2 and pinching her own cheeks to make sure this isn't a dream because oh my god yessssssss inspecting the mech.]

[fuelefficient]

C-Coquelicot-san. Might I...take a look?

[magique_bonbon]

Uwah! [Coquelicot nearly bangs her shoulder on the mech when she whirls around in surprise.] Ah... um, hi, Japan!

[dynamic_may_lee]

WHAT THE HELL?!

[magique_bonbon]

[Coquelicot jumps in surprise.]

GYAAAAAAH!

[... and by "jump," I mean "vault into the air and land in a crouch right on top of the mech, spinning around to face May."] W-W-W-What!?

[dynamic_may_lee]

WHAT IS THAT THING?!

[magique_bonbon]

C-Calm down! It's alright- it's just my Koubu-F2- the robot that I pilot back home!!

[9timestheliar]

[Oh, so sorry, no super robot battle for you today. But a hot lady is just as good right

right]

-Ah! What's all this, then?

[magique_bonbon]

[Coquelicot does not recognize the cunningly disguised/transformed/hot-lady-ified Ninetails, though the circus girl DOES turn a brilliant smile in her direction.]

It's my Koubu-F2! It made it here all the way from back home!!

[9timestheliar]

[must not laugh MUST NOT LAUGH must instead also smile back winningly]

As good as it is that something of your home has returned to you...I-I can't say I understand just what it is. A Koubu-F2?

[magique_bonbon]

It's a robot! Kind of like a tank, but it's got legs and arms.

[heartstar_blues]

Holy ☠☠☠☠ kid!

Back up!

[The Captain would be picking up a stick... as if that might help, and run at the large robot.]

[magique_bonbon]

What're you- aah! Wait!!

[heartstar_blues]

[Nope, no waiting. The Captain was hitting the thing in the leg with a stick until the stick broke. Next he'd try climbing it.]

First a ☠☠☠☠ monster then a ☠☠☠☠ robot. ☠☠☠☠ you Beyond I'm the ☠☠☠☠ Captain!

[magique_bonbon]

[Hey hey HEY WATCH THE PAINT STOP DOING VIOLENCE IN MY ROBOT'S GENERAL DIRECTION] Stop that! That's my Koubu-F2- there's no one riding it! It's not going to hurt anyone!
