[ Ohai Yuri is looking pretty serious! Not that she usually looks silly, she just.. looks like she's got an idea. It's not a bad thing, of course. First things first. ]

Sokka! I need to talk to you in person ASAP! Scorpius, you too, but after Sokka. [ Yuri thinks Sokka would probably object to what she needs to ask Scorpius about, after all. ]

Everyone else: Favorite sport, go.

[ Filtered to the SSS. ~80%. ]
[ Someone helped her learn how to filter things much better, okay. ]

Meeting tomorrow morning. 9am. Go to the fountain; you'll be able to get instructions on where to go from there. Let me know if you can't make it before the meeting.

{{ OOC: I'll be posting a thread on her appointments post for the meeting in a little bit. I will update the OOC note here with the link when it's up. Meeting is here. Yuri will have someone from the SSS stand around the fountain from 8 to 9 and tell anyone in the SSS where to go. }}

If you're still here when the next one rolls around, I'll be sure to put you on the invite list.

Whoever you are.

[magentarific]

Yuri Nakamura! Yuri or Yurippe is fine. I think we talked once before but I never got your name either.

[herotypical]

Buffy Summers. [ she always provides her name with an edge of hesitation, never knowing who will already know it from raine's guide. ]

[magentarific]

Nice to meet you, Buffy. So do you do any other sports?

[herotypical]

Do gatecrasher sales count as a sport?

[magentarific]

Probably not. Most sports have rules of some kind. Sales of any kind are usually every woman for herself.

[herotypical]

Well. In that case?

I did do some cheerleading. Back in the day.

[magentarific]

Cheerleading, huh? Is that fun? I've never really cheered before.

[herotypical]

It...was spiffy. For a while.

[ and then she learned to get her kicks elsewhere, if not her thrills. ]

[magentarific]

"Spiffy"?

[herotypical]

Fabu. Excellent. Passes muster.

[magentarific]

I know what it means. I just haven't heard that word in a long time.

[herotypical]

Well.

I'm glad I could provide some clearly sorely needed vocab variety.

[magentarific]

What year are you from?

[herotypical]

Two thousand and four. As close to five as makes very very very little difference.

[ with a castle and an army. and now she was here. ]

[magentarific]

[ Yuri takes a few seconds to think. ] If you count post-mortem time, it'd probably be about 2010 where I'm from.

[herotypical]

Post-mortem...

[magentarific]

Dead as dead can be. I was in an afterlife before this.

[herotypical]

[ ...oh. ]

One of the good ones, I hope.

[magentarific]

I guess that depends on what you want. It was a lot like being alive, minus the bad stuff. The world itself isn't that bad. It's what happened before we got there that makes things hard. I'd estimate 25 as the oldest anyone is there and there weren't any happy endings. Or happy middles. That's how you get there.

[herotypical]

...An afterlife just for the Gen-Xers, huh?

[magentarific]

Just for Japanese ones who didn't get a chance to be happy while they were alive no matter how hard we tried.

[herotypical]

How...exclusive. Like the country club of afterlives.

Sorry, though. About the happiness thing.

[magentarific]

It's just a pit stop. Those of us who can't get reincarnated yet. Less country club, more high school-shaped hotel.

[herotypical]

What's keeping you there? Is there a line up or something?

[ nosy. ]
