Re: Business Talk (...amended...)

Austin_S_Dakota

A-ko just laughed at the goof that had bumped into her. The redhead 
looked at him and lifted her arm. Flexing the muscle in her bicep all in 
the building cold hear the tendons stretching as the powerful muscles 
cored against one another. Suddenly her hand flew forward, the air just 
being pushed by her palm knocked the door and a large portion of its 
frame into the shower set from the room they were in. By now she was 
waiting for Nabiki-Chan to ask her to break the fool in half.

Even if he was kind of cute.


Re: More trouble for Ataru

Austin_S_Dakota

"Hay would you.........." Any thing else Mousse would have said was cut 
off as a large wooden door flew into him, knocking him end over end.


Re: Business Talk (...amended...)

Shad Devil

Bean was impressed, that was for sure but he certainly didn't show it. 
(Macho's don't show fear ;P) Instead he just tsk tsk'ed at the damage.*

"Now, if that won't cost quite a bunch of money...and perhaps you ruined 
the scene,too...the Vid-Camera sure is dead..."

*With that he pointed at the totally crashed Camera lying on the floor, 
the material that held the shower scene rolling all around the studio-
floor.

With those words he walked out of the door before A-Ko could decide what 
to do, go after him or fearing Nabiki.

As soon as he was out of sight, Bean quickened his pace though. He had a 
few tricks up his sleeve that could take care of most trouble-makers but 
that girl surely wasn't human...


Re: Business Talk (let's go)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

"Good ridd..." starts Nabiki as Bean is walking out, but is cut short 
when A-ko propels the fool through a door.

"Wow, wow, calm down, Magami-san. He can still be of some use; I need 
someone to drive me back. And please don't cause too much property 
damage here. The studio may not be mine, but if they see it damaged the 
Kunos may get some ridiculous ideas - like making *me* pay for the 
repair."

Waving to both A-ko and Spike, she heads toward the central part of the 
studios where the set are located.

"Follow me, I want to see how the shooting is going." she comments, 
adding for herself: 'Jiji ant that lech Ataru have better done a good 
job...'


Re: More trouble for Ataru

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi watched as Mouse flew away, being shot by a door flying past 
her, the wind making her hair blow to the side some. She was mildly 
ammused at him falling end over end, as it was more entertaining than 
his lame attempts at introducint her to the actors in the shot. Still 
there was no reason for a door to be flying past her, they should be 
remaining on their hinges, so she walks toward where the door came from. 
"Alright, who threw that door, and why, you shouldt be breaking anything 
in this place, someone 
is going to pay for that door!"


Re: Business Talk (Oh no!)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

"Kodachi!" whispers Nabiki, as if uttering a curse. Her usually composed 
face goes death white for a split-second as she recognizes the haughty 
voice. 'What's the fuck is she doing here?' she thinks in dismay. 'Can't 
she lets me swindle her idiot brother in peace? I don't want to see her; 
she can only mean troubles...'

Swiftly fleeing before the crazy gymnast can see her, she hides behind 
Spike's larger frame. "If someone asks for me, I'm not here!"


Re: Business Talk (Oh no!)

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi steps through the door frame, or rather hole in the wall where 
the door used to be. She takes a second to inspect the damage to the 
broken doorway. She then turns and looks in the room, seeing a bunch of 
people there, none of whom she recognizes, well she wasn't the type to 
hang around porn actors anyway so she wasn't suprised.

"Alright, who was it that broke the door? Those things cost money, and 
we are being nice enough to lend you the building and money for the 
movie, you can at least not break anything!" She staired each one of 
them in the eyes as she declaired that she was adding the cost of the 
door to the movie costs and that Nabiki girl would be paying back every 
cent.


Re: Business Talk (Oh no!)

Austin_S_Dakota

"Uhhhhh... Nabiki who," A-ko tried to add helpfully


Re: Business Talk (Oh no!)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Spike can tell that Nabiki stopped breathing by now, trying to be the 
most inconspicuous possible. Still, when hearing A-ko's attempt at an 
answer, she begins to sweat. The muscle girl isn't exactly the best 
choice for trying to fool Kodachi. The youngest Kuno may be nuts, but 
unfortunately she's also far from stupid.


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Shad Devil

OOC: Ok, like I told you, I hereby closed the vote and decided for 
C..lucky for Nabiki perhaps?

IC: Ataru had run quite a bit through the corridors, having passed a big 
man with a scar on one point and entered quite abruptly the room...just 
to crash right into Kodachi, making her and him fall down to the floor.

Being used to fall down, get hit etc he is the first to regain his 
senses, pushed himself up and looked around, wondering who all these 
pple are....but this thought was pushed right out of his mind as he saw 
Kodachi which triggered his Leechness.*

"Hey, BABE! You here for a role in the Movie? If so, I need your 
sizes..."

*Not one to wait and/or think about his actions, he at once grabbed a 
handful of breasts which he kneaded delightedly with a strange smile on 
his face.*


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Austin_S_Dakota

"Uhhh... Nabiki, were screwed now aren't we." A-ko just said plainly 
ready to be asked about doing something violent. Walking over the 
redhead pick Ataru up and held him in the air. Away from Kodachi.


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi took a little while longer to regain her senses than Ataru, and 
woke up to hear his question and feel a hand kneeding her breast.

"No I am not here as an actress in this movie! I am the owner of this 
studio and the one providing the funds for the movie, therefor the owner 
of that as well!!!" She was about to yell for him to get off of her, 
when she saw him raised in the air by some redheaded girl. Kodachi stood 
up and looked around, seeing that the greenhaired guy had 4 legs, one 
set of them in high heels and nicely shaved. "There you are Nabiki! 
Unless this guy likes to shave his second pair of legs!"


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Shad Devil

Ataru froze as he heard WHO he just grabbled but luckily she seemed not 
to be the prude kind or she was too distracted by Nabiki....btw 
distracted, that girl who held him did that so that he had a wonderful 
view at her tits...it would be a shame not to do something with them...*

"But YOU must be here for the shoot, right? Here, lemme get your 3 sizes 
for ya!"

*Again Ataru's hands started what they could do best...grabbing at girls 
breasts.*


Re: Business Talk (facing the goon)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki facepalms.

Sighing, she steps out of Spike's shadow.

Taking a surprisingly convincing relaxed pose, one hand on her hip and 
the other tousling her hair, she meets the Black Rose's gaze evenly.

"My, Kodachi-san, welcome. I can't say how much it's a pleasure to see 
you..."

(She can't say it, of course, because there's no pleasure involved.)

"But it wasn't necessary for you to spend your precious time checking on 
us. I'm taking great care of all your investments here. You know I'll 
always have the well-being of the Kuno family's fortune close to my 
heart..."


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Austin_S_Dakota

A-Ko, couldn't believe what had happened. The boy suddenly just grabber 
her. Her mother Wonder Woman would have knocked the boy cold. Her father 
Superman would have had some speach and life lesson ready to teach all 
A-ko was freak. throwing Ataru, the redhead ran behind Nabiki cowering 
from Ataru. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!"


Everybody take cover!

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

A wave of heat begins to pour out from the tiny figure of the ancient 
martial art master as his anger is reaching its peak. Wary of this 
dreadful aura, the actors and technicians around him are taking a few 
steps away.

Finally, the explosion happens.

"ATARU! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!!!!!"

How could that young little creep dare to put his hands on the star 
actress? Especially since it's the old little creep... ahem... the 
honored film director who's supposed to do that!

"CORRECTION: YOU'RE A DEAD *EUNUCH*!!!"

As pointed before, Happy's voice power is inversely proportional to his 
size. His roar of rage can easily be heard in the whole studio...


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Shad Devil

Ataru was used to fall down and worse, and also was no stranger to 
freking women, there fore he was just starting a leecherous chase after 
A-ko as Happosai's yell sounded through the studio making him shiver 
with dread....then with fear for his life...or worse...as Happosai 
'corrected' himself.

At once he was at Kodachi's feet, clamping his arms around her legs.*

"PLEASE, don't let him kill me! I will do EVERYTHING, just don't let him 
NEAR me, I beg you, M'lady Kuno. PLEASE protect me!!!"


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi was busy listening to Nabiki shoveling it on, and not paying any 
attention to Ataru as he flew through the wall, she also ignored the old 
leech as he yelled something out to someone, obviosly not her.

"Well Nabiki-san, I am just here to insure the quality of this movie, 
and it seems I'm also going to have to asess damages to the studio if 
things keep up the way they are. Besides wouldn't you rather me here 
insuring the quality now then later just sending you the film back with 
a list of what to fix, it seems much....."

At that moment something clamped around her legs, pulling them together, 
and causing her to loose her balance and fall onto the floor once again. 
Looking at the cause she sees that the same boy responsible for her 
first fall caused the second one as well. Looking at the boy with her 
patinted evil look #5, she almost wants to let the old man take care of 
him. Then she gets a much more evil idea in her head, and her look 
changes to evil grin #2.

"Tell you what boy, I'll make a deal with you. I will keep the old man 
from harming you if you volonteer to be my personaly assitant. Of course 
as soon as you decide to quit that job, I will hand you back over to 
him."


Re: Business Talk (......)

bigkimo2

Spike just...stared.
In the past six months on the Bebop, nothing had matched the sheer 
insanity he was seeing in these several minutes. He felt parts of his 
brain rattling loose, like he'd been listening to Ed for a wee bit too 
long.

"Um..." he finally managed, raising a hand. "Not to sound impatient, but 
when do we get to the filming? I'd like to see who I'm working with..."

And who I'm hunting for, he added to himself.

OOC-
Who would you folks recommend as a bounty-head for Spike? I was thinking 
about Aisha, but I'm very open to suggestions...


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Shad Devil

Ataru didn't like the look Kodachi gave him...it frightened him actually 
but the memory of Happosai...and what he would do to him if he got hold 
of him....he shivered violently before nodding wildly.*

"Oh YESSES! I will be your assistant, just protect me from him!"


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki frowns. This is not auguring well. Kodachi happens to be in a 
stubborn mood - not surprising at all. Worming out of paying for the 
damage, the money girl can probably manage.

The Black Rose staying here to oversee the shooting, on the other hand, 
is much more bothersome. Who know what kind of craziness she may suggest 
as necessary 'fixing'. And she knows how Happosai is working: loosing 
complete control on the filming won't please him a bit.

She's also a bit miffed that her hired muscle can't show a little more 
nerves. Wrapping comfortingly a arm around the redhead's shoulders, she 
says: "A-ko-chan, you better get used to bash perverts tempting a free 
grope if you want to work here..."

'Now, all I need is the old pervert' thinks the lady-producer with 
fatalism. 'I'll have to discuss with him of a way to counter Kodachi...'


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi smiled as she heared his agreement to be her personal assistant, 
although many may have opted to be killed by Happy but he didn't know 
any better yet. Well now that she had an assistant thought it would make 
things much easier on her, and make her much harder to get rid of for 
Nabiki.

"Well then, now you wont have to worry about that old man harming you." 
She pointed to one of the directors chairs folded up on the side of the 
room. "Now first, you are going to need to carry that around all the 
time behind me, after all it's a sad day when a Kuno is made to stand." 
She then made her way out of the room, having to take care of Happy 
before she did Nabiki, assuming that Ataru was following her. "Alright 
old man, where are you!"


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Shad Devil

Ataru snapped to attention, if this woman could save him from the wrath 
of Happosai, he would do anything to please her...and who knows, perhaps 
the 'personal' assistant would have to treat some 'personal' NEEDS, too! 
^.^

Therefore he grabbed the chair, Kodachi just indicated and quickly ran 
after her, not wanting to loose her out of sight.*

"Hai Hai, Mistress Kuno-sama! Right behind you!"


Re: Business Talk (Interruption)

Austin_S_Dakota

"I'm sorry Nabiki-Chan... But he grabbed my breasts." Closing her eyes 
the redhead shivered lightly. "OK the next pervert I see I'll hit so 
hard that I'll smash the atoms that make him up!" She said, not 
understanding that would likely cause a nuclear explosion.


Business Talk (INTERRUPTION!)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

*VVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

Everybody jerks at that screeching sound. Turning head, they see the 
source of it. A rather scary apparition.

Having made a detour by the tool shop, the small figure of Happosai is 
now wearing a hockey mask and brandishing...

A chainsaw. Almost as big as him.

And not a fake one, judging by the sound.

"ATARU!!!"


Re: Business Talk (INTERRUPTION!)

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi looks at the hockey masked apparition and walks over to infront 
of the thing, then snapped her fingers and pointed at the floor. "Chair, 
here, now." As she looked down at Happy. Having just aquired a personal 
assitant, she wasn't about to give him up just now. Besides she really 
liked hearing Kuno-sama, and thought she could get used to hearing it.

"Now listen to me Happosai. I have taken this boy, whom you are calling 
Ataru, so I guess that's his name, as my personal assistant, so you wont 
be killing him today." She was of course using her take charge tone at 
the old man, waiting for him to turn his chainsaw off.


Re: Business Talk (INTERRUPTION!)

Austin_S_Dakota

"Uhh... Nabiki-Chan, should I stop this before the girl gets herself 
killed?" A-ko asks half expecting to see the evil troll do something 
evil.


Re: Business Talk (INTERRUPTION!)

Shad Devil

Ataru was frightened of Happosai, almost so much that he couldn't move 
but luckily his survival instinct told him that the only thing between 
him and Happosai's wrath was Kodachi..so he had to please her at ALL 
costs.

Therefore he quickly opened the chair and slid it just behind Kodachi, 
so that the back of her legs was just one or two cm in front of it.*

"Here you go, Mistress Kuno-sama!"


Re: Business Talk (INTERRUPTION!)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki's upper face is deeply buried in her own palm.

"Don't bother." she flatly answers A-ko. "Jiji may have a few screws 
loose, but he's not the type to harm a girl, even a nutty one like 
Kodachi. Apparently, he just wants to cut Ataru into ribbons."

She sighs. 'Which isn't entirely a bad idea, anyway...'

OOC: Reminder: "double quotes" = talking; 'simple quotes' = thinking.


Re: Business Talk (What?)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

"What?"

Happy stops the chainsaw and pulls up his mask, staring at Kodachi with 
disbelief.

"You've taken him as an assistant? Are you out of your mind? What kind 
of sicko would want this little bastard as an assistant?"

A deathly silence falls on the room as everyone stare at Happy. He 
sweatdrops.

"That...That was different! Nobody else wanted the job! And I'm not a 
woman that he would harass in his lecherous way!"

Not at all like him, of course, who only occasionally shows his 
appreciation for the female beauty.

"Please, Kodachi-chan!" he begs. "Can't I at least do him a teeny-weeny 
little castration? It'll calm him down, and he'll never try again to 
fuck my pretty actresses instead of shooting the movie..."


Re: Business Talk (What?)

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi looked behind her and noticed that Ataru had put the chair down, 
just like she said to, so she took a seat infront of Happy. She looks at 
Happy for a second listening to what he had said, then puts a hand to 
her chin and looked like she was thinking for about half a minute just 
to scare 
Ataru.

"Well, I would actually like to keep him in one piece right now, I don't 
want him to have any excuses for not doing what I need him to. But... if 
he fails in his duties, or becomes as lecherous as you usually are, then 
I'll let you cut off whatever you want." She made the deal with Happy, 
only awaiting his responce. Besides after looking at him Kodachi thought 
she may have to use Ataru's equipment sometime anyway, so better to keep 
it there.


Re: Business Talk (What?)

Shad Devil

Ataru wrung his hands while Kodachi seemed to consider his fate, 
sweating quite a bit. Needless to say that he was quite relieved when 
she decided to let him stay with her...though the possible change of his 
fate on a later date was a bit un-nerving.*

"I..I promise to be a good Assistant, Mistress Kuno-sama! And 
besides...NOONE is as leecherous as Happosai...


Re: Business Talk (What?)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Happosai intensely looks at Kodachi (but not at her face - his gaze is 
rather lost inside her dress as she's crossing legs). Teary-eyed, he 
stammers: "But... but... that's no fun at all! And why are you saying 
those all those untrue things about me? Why are you all so mean to a 
nice senior citizen like me, who's just trying to do his best and put on 
screen his deepest wishes and inspiration?!"

Turning around to lean on a wall, his face hidden in his arms, he starts 
sobbing pathetically. "You're just killing my artistic creativity!"


Re: Business Talk (What?)

Austin_S_Dakota

"Nabiki-Chan," A-ko said to Nabiki after hearing Happy's speach. "is he 
you one you called a slime sucking freak?"


Re: Business Talk (Will ya shut up?)

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

"No, I never said such a thing." answers Nabiki in a totally flat, 
unwavering, serious voice, not allowing any kind of discussion.

Inwardly, she's sweatdropping, thinking that her hired muscle would need 
a little explanation about the virtue of keeping her mouth shut. Too bad 
that with her invulnerable skin she'll probably wouldn't even feel a 
spanking...


Nabiki and Happy are planning

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

"Oh, stop moaning, Jiji! We have a movie to make, remember?"

Picking up the old, crying, perverted martial artist by his gi, Nabiki 
quickly get away from all those prying ears to enter the director's 
office and close the door behind her.

"Now, old coot, listen to me: it's out of question for us to let Kodachi 
do as she pleases in this studio! I won't let a crazy, aristocratic 
spoiled brat take control over *my* creation! I've worked hard enough to 
gather the money for the movie - hell, I even had to sleep with her 
idiot bro..."

Nabiki suddenly close her mouth, astonished she let that slip. Too much 
time spend around Ranma, probably, his foot-in-the-mouth syndrome must 
rub off on other...

Getting back to her steely self, she pursues: "So, you must find a way 
to get her of my hair, and quick!"

"Me? Why me? It's YOU who involved the Kuno by sucking the town idiot of 
his money... and of other things, if I heard right..." counters 
Happosai.

"SHUT UP, you old geezer! Should I reminds you *who* insisted to have 
total liberty on the shooting of his 'Greatest Masterpiece,' as you 
called it? You're the Big Boss, here, Happy, and if you ever want to see 
your movie finished..."

"All right, all right, I know! But just *how* can I get rid of her? 
Besides tying her, casting a good block of concrete around her and 
throwing the whole in the river, I don't see..."

"Easy. Just give her a role."

"What?"

"By appealing to her ego, I bet it will be easy to convince her - she's 
the kind to always want to be on top, under the flashlights. And once 
she starts, before she realizes it we'll have enough shots of her in 
very compromising positions to blackmail the proud Black Rose to the end 
of her life..."

Happy ponders this a bit, then smile widely. "Yes! You're right! That's 
the solution! And I know exactly the scene for that! To think I was 
missing a dominatrix... she'll be perfect! A great star! 
Bwaahaaahaaahahahaha!!!"


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi watched as Nabiki took the old leech off and dissapeared into 
the directors office, she was curios as to what they were discussing 
now, but didn't really worry to much about it just yet. She then turned 
to her new assistant Ataru.

"Alright, well you better be a good assistant, now lets get to finding 
me an office." She stands up and starts to walk, looking around the 
studio again for which room she wants to claim.


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

Shad Devil

Ataru quickly took the chair up again and followed Kodachi, thinking 
about a good Office for her...his was out of the question, of course, 
since it was a mere closet...and Happosai's Office was out of question, 
too...

And most other rooms where either small or used to store needed 
stuff...except...*

"Umm..Mistress Kuno-sama...there IS Happosai's "Relaxing-Room" around 
the corner there...it's full of Couches, pillows and...umm..other 
stuff...he didn't use it yet, though."

OOC: I made that up, I know but I think Happy could have prepared such a 
room...for rolling in his Underwear-Collection etc ;P


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi thought about his proposition before agreeing and telling him to 
show her the way. Once she got to it she looked at all the couches and 
pillows around the room, looking like the most comfortable room in the 
whole studio. Moving toward one of the couches, she finds the one that 
is the most comfortable, and lays down on it.

"Ataru, this was an excelent idea. I claim this as my office, put some 
kind of sign on the door for me. Then once you are done with that, get 
one of those pillows and help me get more comfortable."


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

Shad Devil

"Hai Hai, Mistress Kuno-sama!"

*Looking around for Material to make the sign, he see's a Computer in a 
corner, propably for downloading porn, and in front of it a white mouse 
pad.
On the side of the Computer are a few bits of office-equipment, a 
stapler under them. Grabbing it, the mouse pad and a marker he goes to 
the door and staples the pad to the door. Having done that, he writes 
with his best hand-writing (aka barely readable): Office of Kodachi Kuno
Producer and Sponsor

(Knock before entering)

Having accomplished that, he closes the Door again
before choosing a nice, big silk-pillow and walking over at Kodachi. But 
once there, he doesn't really know how especially he should make her 
more comfortable...*

"Umm, Mistress Kuno-sama, what exactly should I do with this pillow?"


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi layed on the couch as she watched Ataru work busily to make her 
sign and mark this room as her office. She looked around it some, 
thinking about how comfortable this place looked, and how she would 
enjoy taking her breaks and doing her other buisiness here instead of in 
an office chair at a desk. She saw the sign he made and thought that she 
would need to have a better one made soon, but it would do for now.

Now back to the important thing of the moment, getting herself as 
comfortable as possible for until the next shoots where she would be 
needed to oversee them, and the addition of a few pillows would of 
course help with that. Lifting her feet she pointed to under them for 
Ataru to put the pillow there.

"Now Ataru, do you have any idea how long it will be until this movie 
gets back underway and once again need my guidance?"


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

Shad Devil

Ataru pushed the pillow under Kodachi's feet, glimpsing a bit at the 
junction of her long legs but quickly turning away from that in fear of 
getting handed to Happosai. Hearing the Question he scritched the back 
of his head, looking uncertain.*

"Well...I think that depends on how fast Happosai can get the Actors 
back together and think of another scene, of course which could take 10 
minutes or several hours. He never speaks about this kind of things. He 
always just hands everybody the scripts several minutes before the start 
of a scene and that's it..."


Eavesdroppers Beware!

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Just before discussing more at length their devious plan, Nabiki 
stealthily moves closer to the door and... opens it very suddenly, 
dooming anybody sticking his ear to the door to fall in a heap inside 
the room.

OOC: Come on, I *know* some peoples were listening. ^_^


Re: Eavesdroppers Beware! (Ano...)

bigkimo2

Spike blinked. He did NOT fall over; any experienced bounty hunter knows 
how to listen and still be able to stand quickly.

However, this gave him the inelegant posture of being in a slight crouch 
with his hand cupped next to his ear. His eyes swiveled up to look at 
Nabiki...

...PAST those legs and what you can see of under that skirt, moron...

..."Hey there, boss," he said, smiling a bit.


Re: Eavesdroppers Beware!

Austin_S_Dakota

Standing at the other side of the room, A-ko looked up and smiled at 
Nabiki. "Uhah... What's up boss?"


Re: Eavesdroppers Beware

 St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki's glare could have easily makes any lesser man immediately wet 
his pants. Spike is made of stronger stuff, but still he can feel a cold 
shiver running down his spine.

"Now, M. Spiegel, does your mother never teach you the meaning of the 
word 'privacy'?"

With a casual gesture, she enjoins A-ko to come closer. "Now, A-ko-chan, 
would you please grab this little man by the back of his pants and 
carries him elsewhere, so that he won't be tempted anymore by his 
unhealthy curiosity..."

Behind her, Happy adds his two cents while cracking his fingers: "Yes, 
my cutie redhead, do that... before I give him myself a little sermon 
about what's proper and what's not."


Re: Eavesdroppers Beware!

Austin_S_Dakota

"OK, Nabiki-Chan," walking over to Spike A-ko picked him up by his belt. 
Holding him above her head she exited to room.


Re: Eavesdroppers Beware! (...)

bigkimo2

Spike was not one used to being manhandled. As a master of Jeet Kune Do 
and idolizer of Bruce Lee, he was fairly used to kicking ass.

Being hefted above a pretty girl's crimson head and carried with little 
effort out of a room was kind of disturbing. He wondered if she was 
anything like that Mad Peirrot guy...disturbed? She didn't seem to be. 
She definitely had those superhuman powers going for her, though.

"Uh...couldja put me down?" he finally asked after she'd carried him 
rather easily down the hall. "I can walk by myself, you know. I was just 
wondering when we were going to begin shooting...and when I could meet 
the costars."


Off they go...

Austin_S_Dakota

"Oh, sorry!" A-ko said just before she dropped him. "OH! I'm sorry for 
that too!" She said getting to her knees where Spike had landed on his 
butt. Scrambling the clutzy girl, tried to help him up to his feet.

Once standing A-Ko told him that she really didn't know anyone else but 
'Nabiki-Chan' and didn't know what was going on.


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi listened to what Ataru said about how long it could be before 
they started shooting again. This just couldn't do, the longer the movie 
took to shoot the more money it took to fund.

"Listen Ataru, I can't have everyone just sitting around doing nothing 
instead of continuing to shoot the movie, it's just not efficient. Now I 
want you to go and get that old man and bring him here to my office so 
that I can discuss his poor running of this movie and improve upon it."

Ataru froze a bit...as long as he was with Kodachi, Happosai wouldn't 
dare touch him...but if he was found alone without her....*

"Umm, Mistress Kuno-sama...what if Happosai tries to imitate Jason on me 
again? I don wanna get split in two...or three..."


Re: Nabiki and Happy are planning

Kodachi couldn't beleive Ataru, already comming up with excuses for not 
doing what she asks him, what is a producer to do.

"Don't tell me your afraid of the old man? Sheesh, your going to have to 
get over that evenutally you know." As she was saying this she wrote a 
note, then got up and pinned it to Ataru's shirt. Looking at the note 
she read it out loud so he would know what it said without having to 
read it. "Old man, if this boy is harmed all funding for the movie will 
be revoked. Signed Kuno Kodachi." She then patted him on the shoulder, 
"Now he won't try anything, so go get him for me."


Re:Nabiki/Happy planning..Shinobu! NANI?

Shad Devil

Ataru at least had the dignity (is that the right word to use here? 
O.o;) to blush at Kodachi's words but bowed as soon as she finished the 
note-reading.*

"Hai, Mistress Kuno-sama, it will be done at once."

*Quickly leaving the room as to show Kodachi that he would make as fast 
as possible, he returned to a more normal speed as soon as he rounded a 
corner.*

"Geeze...that girl sure is bossy...I am kinda reminded of Shinobu 
here...or Lum...or Benten..."

*Somehow he seemed to meet only bossy girls lately.. Shaking his head, 
he flung these thoughts away and went to Happosai's office where he 
wanted to start searching for the ghoul. As he arrived he saw the door 
open and the Redhead carrying a green-haired guy along the corridor, 
away from him.
Taking a peek inside he saw Nabiki and Happy talking about something. 
Stepping in the doorway, he gulped before starting to speak.*

"Hey, old Leech, Mistress Kuno-sama wants you to come into her office 
NOW. That means as soon as possible, which means right this second! And 
before you do anything stupid, note this paper here that states that, if 
I should be harmed, that She will cancel every monetary support for the 
film!"

*During the small speech he pointed at the note on his chest as if it 
were a medal.
Before Happosai could utter a word of protest, he turned around again 
and wanted to walk away again...but then he remembered that Happosai 
didn't know what Room Kodachi used as her office and he loked back at 
him.*

"By the way, she claimed your 'Relaxing-Room' as her office."

*Knowing that Happosai would surely explode and that he'd prolly need a 
let-out, note or not, he ran away as fast as possible right after the 
last syllable came over his lips.*

"Heehehe, I hope the old Ghoul will use Nabiki for stress-relief ^.^"

*On his way back he passed the set of the Shower-scene and risked a peek 
inside and stopped dead in his tracks...wasn't that SHINOBU clinging to 
that big-busted Woman? And did he just hear something about 'wanting to 
be her Slut'???? That kinda dialogue was normal for a Scene...but the 
there wasn't a scene recorded...*

"Shi...SHINOBU! What are you DOING THERE?"


Nabiki & Happy finished planning

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Happy glares venomously at Ataru when he comes to give his little 
announcement. The last detail, however, makes him explode.

"Wha...WHAT!? *My* relaxation room!? No way! How could that crazy bitch 
dare..."

Before he can exits the room, though, Nabiki grabs him by the gi, 
lifting him a bit from the ground so that his short legs doesn't touch 
any more the ground. The small pervert isn't going any further, despite 
his frantic Tokyo-moving.

(This mean moving his small arms and legs so fast that all what can be 
seen is a blur.)

"Calm down, Jiji. I don't need you upsetting Kodachi with your usual 
antics."

"But-but-but it's *my* relaxation room with all my precious pretties 
panties..."

Turning the gnome around, Nabiki's cold gaze freezes him solid. The 
middle Tendo girl is one of the few girls who never seemed to let 
herself be impressed by the old pervert.

"Have I to remind you just WHAT will happen if she revoke the movie's 
funds? You want your 'Masterpiece' finished or not?"

Happy whimpers like a little baby, before sadly relenting. "Alright, 
alright."

Nabiki puts him back on the floor. Gathering the chosen script, Happy 
walks toward the exit.

"Very well, I'll have the machinists prepare the scene and I'll give 
their script to the actresses..."

"The actors too..."

"Yeah, yeah. All *you* have to do is convincing Kodachi to play her 
part."

"Don't worry about that. Toying with the mind of the Kunos is my 
specialty."

"Maybe, but I'm not sure she'll be sensible to the same arguments you 
used on her brother... though with Kodachi you never know."

Happy exits quickly, chuckling, as a thrown paperweight misses him by a 
hair.

Later, Nabiki is mentally steeling herself for the coming confrontation 
as she walks toward the Black Rose's newly claimed 'office'.


Re: Nabiki & Happy finished planning

Kodachi lays there on one of her newly aquired sofas comfortably when 
she hears Nabiki walking towards her office. She gets a little angry, 
wanting to call for Ataru at the time but she would take care of him 
after Nabiki, I mean she just asked him to get the old man, and here 
Nabiki is coming to her office instead.

"Well, I wanted to talk to the old man, try to get this movie on a 
reasonable schedule instead of everyone just sitting around, but I guess 
you will do to. Now tell me why is there so much dead time between 
shoots at this studio? You of all people should know time is money."


Nabiki & Kodachi are discussing

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki refrains from snorting or in any way smirking at Kodachi. It's 
not a good idea to betray what you have in mind before a transaction. 
Still, just thinking about what the old Happosai and herself had cooked 
for the haughty gymnast, she wants to laugh.

"The old man, as you say, is precisely preparing the next shooting, and 
didn't want to loose any time chatting with you. That's why I'm here. We 
agreed that Happosai has all leisure on the way he's directing the 
movie, while I handle the money matters. And believe me, I've them at 
heart as much as you."

Taking a more relaxed stance, she looks at Kodachi with an unreadable 
face.

"As for the delay between shooting, we don't take much longer that any 
other studio. Just the time needed for the technicians changing the 
sets, and the actors and actresses refreshing themselves. We're all 
professionals here..."

She doesn't mention how 'professional' most of the stars Happy found 
really are. No need to draw on with details...

"And you should know that before you arrived, we were shooting two 
scenes simultaneously. If you call that loosing time... The only mistake 
Happosai ever made, I'd say, was that he got too weak and generous 
toward that slimy boy you've chosen as assistant. He gave him the 
direction of the second shot, and that sleazy bastard abused of our 
thrust to take advantage of the female star... now she's in the 
infirmary, almost in a coma because of an overdose of aphrodisiacs. If 
you want to punish someone for retarding the schedule, there's only one 
name coming forth: Ataru."

She sighs. "Of course this won't fix the problem. We need someone 
experienced to lead the next scene, which is pretty complex, and without 
Ayeka Jurai the filming is compromised..."


A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

Knocking softly on the door, A-ko amiled t the other two girls looked 
over at her. "Hi, something I can do to help?" She asked to Nabiki.


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

"Yes," answers Nabiki, "you can watch out for nosy redheads trying to 
disturb us."

Then, frowning, she asks: "What did you do with the green-haired guy?"


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

Austin_S_Dakota

"Uhh... He wandered off trying to meet the other crew." A-ko stepped int 
the room, and looked at Nabiki. "What's this redhead look like, you want 
me to keep out?"


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki simply facepalms in reply.


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi looks at the new girl in her office, who seems to be quite 
clueless as to what she should be doing.

"Well, if you don't know who she is, then just don't let anyone besides 
us into this office, alright?" She then turns to Nabiki who had told her 
about the abuse of one of the actresses.

"Since one of the actresses is now out of commission why don't you just 
go and hire a new one to take her place? You don't seem to be having any 
trouble finding people to play parts. Now hurry up and find one."


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

A-ko stood at the door, and folded her arms. Standing guard she waited 
for the redhead to show her face.

OCC: Run Ranma, RUN!!! ^_-

Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

"That's not so easy!" interjects Nabiki. "It may be easy for Jiji to 
find clueless little bimbos dreaming to become movie stars just by 
showing their ass... but talented pro like Ayeka are rare, and generally 
already engaged. I can try to find somebody, but you just urged us to 
get the movie going as fast as possible, which right now is just 
impossible."

She sighs, taking a pensive look. "Too bad, really, since next scene was 
precisely of great intellectual and artistic value... inspired by the 
immortal work of the Marquis de Sade... It's a shame, Ayeka was so 
gifted at handling the whip and the paddle and all that stuff... it will 
be hard to find a woman with as much class that the Juraian princess, 
and looking as good as her in leather..."


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi sat there listening to Nabiki's speach as she talked about what 
kind of actress they needed for the next shoot. "Well if they are so 
hard to find, then why arn't you on the phone right now trying to find 
one and not sitting here in my office talking about it!" She picked up a 
phoone and threw it at Nabiki while she was saying this. "And while your 
at it why don't you get some of the other people who work here looking 
for an actress to fill the role as well." And with that Kodachi started 
to make shooing motions for Nabiki to get out of her office and fix the 
problems.


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

St Fan, Kami of Writer's Block

Nabiki keeps her emotions to herself... it wouldn't do to show her frown 
to Kodachi. She doesn't know for sure if the Kuno girl missed her hints, 
or is simply toying with her. With the crazy Black Rose, you never know. 
Still, she's not giving up that fast. Thinking quickly, she's at first 
tempted to appeal more directly at the girl's ego, but concludes that it 
could have unforeseeable results. Then...

"Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you... I thought naively you would 
suggest something more helpful. I guess you're too new in the business 
for that... Too bad.

Walking toward, she stops just before opening the door, as if suddenly 
remembering a fact.

"Oh... by the way... did I tell you that Ranma-kun will be staring in 
the movie? Lucky boy, ain't he? All the actresses are bickering among 
themselves to have the first dip on him..."


Re: A-Ko joins Nabiki & Kodachi

FlyingSquirl

Kodachi's face glew red as she heard Nabiki's comment about Ranma 
staring in the movie, and she was about to start screaming, but then 
realized that Ranma wouldn't be the kind of guy who would star in a 
movie like this, he was not leecherous enough for it, or artistic enough 
to fufill the artistic beauty that Oniichan told her this movie would 
have. So Kodachi figured that Nabiki was just saying that to get her 
riled up. Anyway, she figured she better check on this Ayeka now to see 
how she is doing, if she is such a great actress something will have to 
be done to make sure she is in working shape as soon as possible.

Kodachi left her office, and headed toward the nurses office, looking 
for this Ayeka girl, and vocalizing it while she was doing it too.


Kodachi leaves A-Ko & Nabiki

Nabiki glares venomously at Kodachi's retreating back. Still, she won't 
let the crazy gymnast escapes her fate so easily. She has only thrown 
the bait; she can still hook the fish...

Snapping her fingers to notify to A-ko to follow her, she heads toward 
the room dedicated to the photo shoot.
