Not her best idea

Who: Celes and Kagerou
When: Backdated to Monday evening
Where: The fountain and then the outskirts of town.
What: Kagerou has got something to tell Celes and she wishes to do so privately...and at night.
Warnings: None at the moment.
Status: Closed

The sun had set roughly an hour ago, but even so Celes hadn't rushed to the fountain where she was to meet Kagerou. It was just starting to get dark enough to leave, yes, but that isn't why she hadn't left yet. The whole ordeal felt suspicious to her and as such she was hesitant to go along with it despite having agreed to do so. A weapon was all well and good, but in a place such as this, with so very many things that were not explained or logical...well. She wasn't sure if such a plain weapon would do anything at all if things got bad. Being a human was nice when everyone else was, but this place showed her that this wasn't exactly the case.

...bah. This is ridiculous! She's Celestia Ludenberg for fuck's sake; such fear is beneath her.

After telling herself that for a few times, she pushed the foolish thoughts out of her mind and headed straight for the fountain. Hopefully the other woman would already be there, but if not she would have to begrudgingly wait for her to arrive.

Well, that certainly made sense. However, there was a bit of a problem. "If she's your friend, I'd imagine she'd want to join up with you. However...how would she do so? Would you have a place to store enough water for her to survive on the ship, or would she merely float along side it?"

"Huh... That's actually a good question." Plus the ocean was saltwater, right? Misty Lake was freshwater. It was hard to tell how she'd fit in.

"Admittedly this presents a problem..." she pauses for a few moments, trying to think up a plan. "I...suppose we could keep excess water on the ship for her, if you choose to join me. Set up something akin to a large bath for her to stay in."
soundandfurry: (dodo dododo dodo)

"Well, she's not here, and hopefully won't be, so let's not worry about it, okay?"
gambliar: (DAMMIT he's hot)

"...very well. I suppose that's the end of that, then. Which leads us to your decision...have you made it yet?"
soundandfurry: (Lost in the crowd)

Kagerou let out a long sigh, playing with the hems of her sleeves. Right... It came down to this, didn't it?

"Ludenberg-san... knowing the truth about me, you showed no fear, and no desire to just use me to terrify others. You looked at me, not as human and youkai, but just person to person... And that means a lot to me. Maybe there are more people around with the same attitude, but I think I'm safer going with someone who appreciates me for who I am. I'd be happy to join your crew... and maybe learn to sew some pretty dresses for you, too!"
gambliar: (...just kidding!)

SLIGHT SPOILERS FOR DR1

Perhaps, for even just a second, those words...Kagerou's words...reached down past Celes' guarded exterior and dove deep into something else. Her face showed no emotion except for a guarded smile that looked quite like a genuine one, but even so...it's possible. Taeko Yasuhiro was still alive inside her, despite how much the gambler would like to deny that.

Of course, it was equally possible that the other woman's words did no such thing. That Celes felt no such emotional stimulation and that all of this conversation was just lip service on her part. It was impossible to tell one way or the other, and truthfully Celes preferred it that way. Best to not reveal your hand so early on in the game, even to those you can "trust".

"Is that right?" she asked, tilting her head curiously. "Very well. If that is your decision, then I accept you as part of my crew. Welcome aboard, Kagerou-san."

"Aye, aye, captain!" Kagerou gives a salute that might have had a place in Meiji-era Japan, but looks a bit silly and dated round their current parts.
gambliar: (You'll make a wonderful servant~)

Perhaps it was silly, but at least it gets a smile out of her captain. That's gotta count for something.

"I quite like your enthusiasm, Kagerou-san. Of course, we should probably get back to town. I, for one, need my beauty sleep."
