> Yukari: Tease Youmu.
Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone here.
However, Youmu insists that the SMUG MOON DOCTOR'S APPRENTICE is not her girlfriend.
Nicely done. You send the rabbit packing with CHEKHOV'S GUN, absolving yourself of any responsibility to use it in the near future. It'll be back, though.
Yuyuko arrives just in time to see the tail end of your prank.
To tell the truth, you were actually trying to pull off an AFRO, but the BORDER OF KEMPT AND UNKEMPT just wasn't working the way you wanted it to. Youmu shuffles off into the house, presumably to fix her IMPROVISED PUNK HAIRDO, mumbling something about how she's glad she's half-dead because her life is a joke.
Yuyuko asks what you were up to, and you simply remark that you were helping out with her LOVE LIFE. Kids these days, they need a little extra push to get going, you know? Yuyuko comments that you are TOO KIND.
> Yukari: Examine Yuyuko.This is YUYUKO SAIGYOUJI, your best and oldest friend (Ran doesn't count because she is not your friend). She is the GHOST PRINCESS OF THE NETHERWORLD, possessing the ghastly ABILITY TO MANIPULATE DEATH. She answers directly to the Yama, guiding the spirits of the departed to a peaceful rest while they await REINCARNATION. Despite holding such a grim position, she is the most fun person you know. She's an EXPERT GOURMET, she can drink like a champ, she's got a great sense of humor, she's as unpredictable as you, and she's always up for a good CONVOLUTED SCHEME.
The two of you have a VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP. You feel perfectly comfortable saying that you LOVE HER DEARLY. Not in a romantic sense, but not quite in a family sense either. It's difficult to describe.
If only there was a SPECIFIC WORD for this kind of relationship.
> Stuffman: Draw shipping grid.
> Yukari: Talk to Yuyuko.You tell Yuyuko that right now Ran is preparing the BEST PANCAKES YOU'VE EVER HAD, and that she SIMPLY MUST TRY THEM. Yuyuko appears excited at the prospect.
Right on cue, Ran appears. She explains that she only made as many as she had syrup for, and hopes that's enough. Yuyuko says it's fine, since she just had her first breakfast anyway. When asked what she had, she replies that she had REESE'S FOR BREAKFAST.
Oh Yuyuko, you card.
Yuyuko tries the pancakes and gives them a EIGHT OUT OF TEN, since they lack variety of flavor. Ran admits that there really isn't much to the recipe, and that she figured SOMEONE AS IMMATURE AS YUKARI would be satisfied just by adding something like butterscotch to it.
Damn. Her CRANIUM DEFENSE RATING is getting pretty strong lately. Maybe it's time to start working the shins.
Anyway, you have fun bullshitting with Yuyuko for a while before leaving for the party.
MEANWHILE...
