(@Chester) What, um, kind of criminals do y-you deal with?

(@Makana) Nice to, um, meet you, Makana (contemplative) how do you do...do that?

-to Marcia-

Any and all that I can reach.

Drug dealers, domestic terrorists, bank robbers, you name it.

I even take down super-villains every now and then.

-to Makana-

Don't worry about me, anyway.

I'll find something to occupy my time while I'm here.

Kitchen

-Ches- Like what? I'm kinda curious what you guys living down here do all the time...

-Marcia- Do what? Get home? It's just as easy as walking up a mountain, silly.

-she says, as if there really isn't anything more elaborate-

I mean, I got here like... yesterday, or the day before.

So mostly I'm probably going to spend extra time analysing my case notes, training in combat, and maybe a crossword puzzle or two.

...........

-she seems disappointed-

That sounds kinda boring...

Kitchen

(@Ches) (sip) Nice... You, um, certainly h-have plenty of experience.

(@Makana) It's, um, that easy...? I s-should try your tip, then.

-to Marcia-

I have a bit of experience.

Wouldn't really call myself a veteran, though.

-to Makana-

Would you rather I played scrabble?

-Marcia- You live on a mountain too?!

-Ches- I don't even know what that is but if that's all you're doing...

It's more just an aggregate of what I'm most likely to be doing.

I could just watch TV, and read some books too.

Ohhh... We don't have a lot of books where I live so I don't read a lot, eheh.

What's TV, though?

Television is the longer form of the word.

It's... basically moving pictures with sound attached.

Imagine if someone could read you a book, while showing you the events of the book happening before you.

And there you have film and television.

Kitchen

(@Makana) Of course... It's like the safe-safest place away from a city (mumbles) when an invasion occurs.

(@Ches) Ah. What is, um, your fighting style you use to t-take down these bad...bad guys?

-Marcia- Safest place from a city? ...I dunno... you gotta be a certain kinda person to live up there after all!

-Gasps at Ches- That's a thing!?

-to Marcia-

Improvised use of the surroundings, simple technology, and I'm a master Bartitsuka.

-to Makana, with a nod-

Yes, that's a thing where I'm from.

My son watches something we call cartoons.

That's where someone draws every single image on the screen.

Since we also have cameras for most other shows- that record things in real life like an eye.

That... sounds... amazing!! I wanna watch one! Can I watch one!?

Kitchen

(@Ches) Cool. T-think you, um, can teach me?

(@Makana) And I'm t-that kind of person... {Have to deal with freaking aliens every time I head into the city to get supplies.}

-he just looks at Marcia for a moment-

I mean, I could.

I'm perfectly capable of teaching the art of Bartitsu.

-to Makana-

Yeah, I could show you one.

Just need to find a TV set first.

Look for a box that has a glass panel on one side of it.

-Marcia- If youuuu say so~!

-Ches- A box with a glass panel... okay!

-She scoots right out of the kitchen to scope the rest of the house out-

-there's something like that... in the main room, Makana! -

I didn't think you meant right now, but ok...

Kitchen

(watches Makana waltz out of the kitchen) {She's a bit eccentric. Almost reminds me of my other selves in this place. A undead me. A robot me. And a younger me. Still, they know their potions like the back of their hands.}

(@Ches) Thanks! When, um, can we s-start?

-just looks back at Marcia for a moment-

-deep sigh-

Look, I appreciate the enthusiasm.

But could you give me time to think over whether I want to devote my time to teaching a martial art here?

I don't do it back home because it would take up a lot of my time, consistently.

KYAAAAAH! Found one!!! C'mere and show me how it works please!!!

Kitchen

(@Ches) (sighs) Alright. Thought I, um, could pass t-the time with that. (hears Makana's yelling and drops her cup in surprise, causing coffee to spill all over the floor) D-did you hear that?

-to Marcia-

Yes, I did.

And it's nothing to spill good coffee over.

-he walks into the main room-

Al right, lets show you how to turn the box on...

-She sits back on the couch, vibrating in excitement-
