<div class="floatright">(http://static.zerochan.net/Yubari.Gogo.full.1461411.jpg)</div>Name: Asuka Takamura (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=215001.msg10620123#msg10620123)<br/><br/>Asuka accepted Kurt's apology with a simple nod and a gentle smile.  He didn't seem as though he was trying to insult her; maybe he was just the type to get people's names without asking by doing a little trick.  She had to admit that it worked, after all.<br/><br/>There were a number of things with which Asuka didn't have a lot of experience.  The kind of double-talk where people could say one thing and mean another was one of the big ones.  Another was relationships: Asuka had been on a handful of dates and had even had sex once before, but she didn't really enjoy it and didn't have a lot of interest in repeating the attempt.  Yet there was still something intoxicating about being around...someone, something.  She didn't know.  Probably Jessica doing something.  Asuka crossed her legs a little tighter.<br/><br/>When Jessica asked if it was everyone else, though, Asuka felt uncertain.  She usually went several days without eating or sleeping, which was fantastic in maintaining her figure and making sure that she had enough time to get all her studying done.  Right now, though, that massage was starting to seem like a good idea...which, of course, meant it wasn't.<br/><br/>The appearance of the Pictsies left Asuka with just enough warning to switch the screen away from the camera feed, over to...a screen saver of a Pong game with Pac-Man running around trying to eat the ball.  Well, at least it wasn't incriminating.  She got up quickly to unplug the device and set the television back to normal, then sent Jack a text message.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Jack's Text Message</div><div class="spoiler_body">Want me to Vigil Brand them in case they get into trouble?  I usually mark the scalp so that it doesn't show under the hair, but wherever you think is best.<br/></div></div><br/>And then, without much warning, people started wanting to leave.  A bit dejected, Asuka decided to follow along.  She wasn't sure if she'd be welcome, but...wait, if this place was messed up, maybe it was best to pick out another place.  Was that what the doctor meant?<br/><br/>"Jack, just pick a place and I can get us a reservation."  It wasn't something that Asuka liked to do often - it was really theft, when you stopped and thought about it - but Asuka could change a computer however she wanted.  Getting into the penthouse for a place without craziness going down wouldn't be an issue, and maybe they'd have a wet bar.  Asuka didn't usually drink, but she was getting thirsty...
