I really kind of love fanfic where the characters talk about things like movies and computer games, especially fics where they're all so perfectly in-character (like this one!). It's this sort of slice-of-life stuff that I know we're never going to get in the real series but that I just eat up with a spoon anyway. :)

I'm glad you thought it was in-character, because I tried to make them do some new, non-canon things, and I wasn't sure it came off OK! Yes, I miss that aspect of Soul Eater too, even though we never truly got it--I want to see the characters take a time out and go gold-panning or get lost on the subway.

At first I wasn't sure why Tsubaki was a computer expert. And then I remembered who she lived with, and realized that she'd basically have to be, for Black*Star's sake.

Thank you very much for this! I particularly enjoyed Spirit's (offscreen, but I think it works better that way in this case) histrionics.

Thank you, Pikabot! I hope you enjoyed it, although it's piffly fluff. Yeah, I think Tsubaki would take to computers like a duck to water. I also wanted to have her change into her weapon form at some point, but I couldn't find a place to do it so it made sense.
