Aoi felt the tug on her braid which signaled that the section was done. "I wouldn't say I never use them. There was a co-worker of mine who was a prick that got on my bad side. I innocently introduced him to a series of machines that he said looked like auto dump refuse. The machines took offense. He paid me heavy blackmail money to make sure the pictures never got out." She could hear Anju distinctly snicker here. "I think the paint's washed out by now." Aoi couldn't help but chuckle at that thought. What in the world had she done to that poor man. Not that the man didn't deserve it. Aoi made a note to never get on the techies bad side, even if it was highly unlikely that she would.
"But other then that, yeah, I guess so. I don't do guilt, so I prefer to avoid the accumulation. How 'bout you? What's Mother and Father Akuma like?" Aoi took a big intake of air through her nose at the question. She should have seen this coming as soon as the topic of parents came up. Oh well it'd be rude not to answer. "Hn. Mother was hn a bit of a matchmaker at times. But all in all she was a rebel. I remember all the trouble she used to cause for the Britannians. She'd always call them the Brits for some reason. She'd go carving things, sayings, into the walls at the Ghetto that," Aoi chuckled at the memory. "Were...quite offensive to them." Her mind wandered to the knife that was always at her side. Mothers keepsake. "And Father was a regular worker. He'd always help the neighbors. Construction was his thing I guess since I always remember him having a tool on him at all times."
She twirled her finger around the thermos. "They always dreamed of when Japan could be free again. Always."

"Hn. Mother was, hn, a bit of a matchmaker at times. But all in all she was a rebel. I remember all the trouble she used to cause for the Britannians. She'd always call them the Brits for some reason." Anju barked a laugh, accidently pulling on the girl's hair. "She'd go carving things, sayings, into the walls at the Ghetto that," Aoi chuckled at the memory. "Were...quite offensive to them. And Father was a regular worker. He'd always help the neighbors. Construction was his thing, I guess, since I always remember him having a tool on him at all times."
She smiled. Aoi'd always seemed so stand-offish, sometimes Anju worried the younger girl didn't actually have many happy memories. One of the reasons why Anju was so fond of her was that the Indian hated to see people drown in their sorrow, not if she could help it.
Aoi twirled her finger around the thermos. "They always dreamed of when Japan could be free again. Always." Anju sighed and paused in her braiding. She leaned forward to look the girl in the eye. "Well, then. We're just going to have to make them happy and do just that, now won't we." She tapped her lightly on the nose. "That and kick Zero's scrawny ass when he shows up again. We can use Lockjaw. I made him in college. I was very drunk when I programed him and he would very much ensure Zero does not do foolish things like leave us again, ne?"

The slight tug on her hair caused her to utter somewhat of a muffled squeak of surprise. It was odd. To be discussing her parents in such a way. Very unusual for her, who rarely if ever spoke of her parents in anyway.
The pause in her braiding alerted her that something was gonna happen. She saw Anju look her in the eye. "Well, then. We're just going to have to make them happy and do just that, now won't we." Anju tapped Aoi's nose lightly which Aoi closed her eyes at the feeling. "That and kick Zero's scrawny ass when he shows up again. We can use Lockjaw. I made him in college. I was very drunk when I programed him and he would very much ensure Zero does not do foolish things like leave us again, ne?" Aoi laughed at the thought of a drunken Anju programming the machine. That and the fact of Zero getting his ass kicked by a machine pleased her emmensly at the moment.
"Right." Aoi said her agreeance. That'd teach Zero to leave them like this. Especially when they needed him the most. "Anyways why'd ya name him lockjaw Anju?" Aoi had a curious feeling she knew why but wanted to hear the reply anyway.

"Right." Anju smiled as the girl laughed. "Anyways why'd ya name him Lockjaw, Anju?" The techie gave her a very slow, very mischivus smile, the kind of look one gave when one knew that they did something very bad and they loved every second of it.
She twirled the brush around her fingers. "Oh, no reason," she sing-songed. "Just- well, you know how certain animals have a tendency to grip things very hard with their teeth and the harder the griped thing shakes and tried to throw it off, the harder it bits down?"
Anju attempted to cover the shit-eating grin with a look of utter innocence. She ended up looking more like a pleased peacock. "Well, my dear little Lockjaw has a similar disposition. He has sharper teeth and aims low."

"Oh, no reason," Anju said in sing-song voice. "Just- well, you know how certain animals have a tendency to grip things very hard with their teeth and the harder the griped thing shakes and tried to throw it off, the harder it bits down?"
She looked at Anju curiously and nodded. The run thought that ran through her mind was. Why does she look like a pleased pea-cock? "Well, my dear little Lockjaw has a similar disposition. He has sharper teeth and aims low." Aoi got the meaning low immediately and cracked a grin while surpressing the urge to laugh crazily. "Well," Aoi feigned a look of pure innoncence. "I really can't wait until Zero comes back now." She gave Anju a half wolfish grin.

"Well," Aoi feigned a look of pure innoncence. "I really can't wait until Zero comes back now." She gave Anju a half wolfish grin. Anju grinned wider and burst out laughing at the sudden mental image she had: Zero half way up a tree with his arms and legs wrapped around the trunk while her baby snarled and jumped at him from the ground, artificial eyes flishing merrily.
She wheezed and flopped back in her seat. "Woo-boy, that should be good." She twirled the brush in her hand again. "Sooo, besides my baby playing nutcracker, what do you plan on doing to the little freak?"

Anju suddenly bursted out laughing and Aoi could imagine what she was thinking of. Most likely something with Zero running away from her baby or something. Which, Aoi admitted, would be very amusing.
"Woo-boy, that should be good." She watched as Anju began to twirl the brush in her hand. "Sooo, besides my baby playing nutcracker, what do you plan on doing to the little freak?" Aoi smirked thoughtfully. "Well considering all the crap he's put us through," she faked thinking "Since he doesn't really need...those 'parts' to command us I think I might just castarate him." Aoi said it so seriously that she started to believe it herself. Which she actually wouldn't mind doing anyway. Though a question popped into her head at the thought.
"Would we have to call him Zera instead though?"

"Well, considering all the crap he's put us through, since he doesn't really need... those 'parts' to command us, I think I might just castarate him." Aoi said it so seriously Anju nearly choked. This was why she loved this girl. Anyone who could say that with a straight face in this kind of conversation was someone Anju wanted to go drinking with on a daily basis.
Aoi suddenly looked thoughtful. "Would we have to call him Zera instead though?"
Anju blinked at her, before bursting out laughing. "Yes! Yes, we would! That is a necessary thing to do! We shall! In fact, I shall call him Zera even before he de-egged. It's foreshadowing. Then I shall buy him a dress and super glue pigtails to his mask." Saks was gonna plotz when she heard this.
"Are you with me!"

Aoi smiled softly as Anju bursted out laughing. No doubt Anju was trying to picture him, soon to be her, in a dress of some sort.
"Yes! Yes, we would! That is a necessary thing to do! We shall! In fact, I shall call him Zera even before he de-egged. It's foreshadowing. Then I shall buy him a dress and super glue pigtails to his mask." Aoi's eyes widened considerably at this. She almost felt sorry for him.....almost. Not quite though. Yes she was gonna gave fun with this.
"Are you with me!" Aoi nodded her head swiftly. "Definetely. So what do you think his color of dress is?" she asked the question even though she almost started laughing at the thought of him being in a dress. She though of another idea and couldn't resist saying it.
"So halter, strapped, or one of those big royal gowns that Britannian royals wear?"

"Definetely. So what do you think his color of dress is?" Anju snickered and tried to imagine the uptight man in different shades of colors. Her mental theatre was set to neon colors with sequines and frills. Aoi snapped her out of her internal fashion show.
"So halter, strapped, or one of those big royal gowns that Britannian royals wear?"
She blinked as the fashion show switched from streetwalker to Old English. Zero in mask, in a huge Britannian dress, big frilly collar, puffy sleeves, a heart shaped wig.
Lipstick, eyeshadow, and rouge on the mask.
Anju looked at the other girl seriously. "Betcha a fifty that we can go steal one for him right now."

She saw Anju fade into her own little world so she decided to do the same. Colors that fit him would probably be black and dark purples or blues. Colors that would show him not to run off again consisted of Neon Pink, Green, Yellow, and really shiny purple.
Then she considered the different styles of clothing. Tranes, frills, and frills filled Aoi's mind as she pictured Zero in these things. In all honesty she was starting to scare herself. Not that, that stopped her from thinking these thoughts. In fact it seemed to encourage them. Suddenly picturing Zero in a white sundress with a bonnet on his helmet made her stop. Especially considering he was wearing white pumps in her thoughts. Shivering and chuckling at the thought she looked at Anju.
Anju looked at her seriously and spoke. "Betcha a fifty that we can go steal one for him right now." Aoi pondered at the thought and smirked. "Let's. I know quite a few stores that would...supply what we're looking for." Aoi chuckled at her words. "They aren't even well guarded, trust me I know." Aoi spoke each syllable seriously.

"Let's. I know quite a few stores that would...supply what we're looking for." Aoi chuckled, "They aren't even well guarded, trust me I know." Aoi spoke each syllable very seriously. Anju maintained her fascade as well, cracking her knuckles professionally. "All I need is an address, babe."
Then she remembered that she'd been untangling Aoi's hair, and double checked. Oh dear. It was drying, and very messily too. The few braided parts were fine, but the rest was getting frizzy. "Erm, hold that thought." Anju immediately grabbed the girls head and yanked to toward her, super-combing it straight. The cloak on her shoulders flopped off into her lap, giving Anju a clear view. She paused.
'Crap. That looks like that must have hurt.' Nasty looking scars, they were, but Anju was neither brash nor a moron, so she ignored them and neatened Aoi's hair, before quickly making several braids. She tossed the brush over her shoulder into the back seat and starightened into driver mode.
"Right. What I said before."

She heard Anju crack her knuckles at the idea. "All I need is an address, babe."
Aoi then felt Anju pause and suddenly remembered her hair. The strands that weren't in the braids were probably all frizzy now due to them being dried. "Erm, hold that thought." Aoi then felt her head being firmly yanked back into Anju so that the techie could finish combing her hair. Aoi started mentally cursing and bit her lip to keep from releasing a yelp at the sudden movement. All of a sudden she felt her cloak slip off her shoulder. Crap She felt Anju pause and knew immediately that her scars were being shown.
Damn it all She cursed mentally at the thought. Surprisingly ,to Aoi, Anju just kept on brushing her hair neatly and braided it quickly. She thanked her mentally for not bringing up the subject of the scars. And since she didn't care Aoi felt like leaving her cloak off at the moment.
Aoi heard the clunk of the brush being thrown in the backseat and saw Anju get into driving mode.
"Right. What I said before." Aoi remembered too. An address. She could do that. She thought about it. "Well the closest one is in the city below this mountain. Since they rebuild it they, for some reason, put more shops in it," Aoi shrugged her shoulders. "There are also a few in Tokyo so take your pick. The one at Narita is basically where the city ends and the mountain begins. Pretty little store. Pure white with pink accents." She smirked evily at it. "I'm sure Zera would just love it."

"The one at Narita is basically where the city ends and the mountain begins. Pretty little store. Pure white with pink accents." Aoi smirked evily. "I'm sure Zera would just love it."
Anju beamed and hit the gas. "Her wish is our command." The wheels slide in the mud for a second before they gained traction and then the jeep zoomed off down the mountain.
There are several things one shoud know when one drives with a partner. One: Be sure the vehicle is in good condition. Two: Be careful of the terrain, especially if it has been raining. Three: if you are not the one driving, always make sure they actually know how to drive. Anju was several things: intelligent, clever, maniacle as hell, and good at building things. She was not, however, a great driver. In fact many would say she was not a good driver. More would say that letting her behind the wheel of anything other then a virtual racer game was the equivalent of letting a curious monkey play with the FLEIJA remote.
And it was still raining. And she was flooring it. They were on a dirt slope. Do the math.
In the town below, if it had been a city or a decent hour, several people would have noticed a jeep do a curious spin then jump into the air. As it was not, nobody noticed. Except the passengers. Anju screamed merrily.

She heard Anju hit the gas. "Her wish is our command." The wheels rolled for a second before they took down the mountain.
It was then that Aoi realized a few things. Firstly that it was raining which would not help the...'road'. Secondly they were taking down a mountain in a jeep. And Thirdly she did not trust that Anju of all people was a great driver. In fact she wouldn't say she was a good driver. And she'd specifically heard people say that if you drove with her it'd be compared to having a curious monkey play with a FLEIJA remote. And right about now Aoi started to believe those accusations.
That and Anju had floored it...down a muddy mountain. Would not end well.
She felt and saw the jeep do a spin and jump into the air. Hearing Anju scream merrily she cracked. "Damn it Anju!" she cursed but yet was laughing hesterically at it all.
"If we die who will make sure Zera is taken care of!" she yelled over the roar of the air still laughing. Aoi finnally joined the scream fest as they soared through the air.
