Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori is at the donut stand, school bag in one hand, opposite of her school bag is a heavy duty looking drop case for a laptop. She's wearing a fitted sleeveless top and a pair of cargo shorts that work well with her comfortable shoes. Around her neck are a pair of rather expensive looking, over the ear headphones playing music loud enough to be heard. She adjusts her balance and makes sure both are good to go. She's waiting patiently enough in line, though this is aided by her playing on her phone. Either she's playing a game and texting, or she's texting a lot. Probably a safe bet that it is both. It's later in the afternoon, nice, warm and clear skied.

Yuzu snaps the cover shut on her phone and looks around the area curiously, foot tapping from time to time in tune to the beat from her headphones. Letting out a sigh, she mutters, "Crew's going to kill me if I'm much later even with a donut bribe. Maybe I should get another dozen."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Ahh the sweet smell of freedom. Freedom and donuts. The stuff of fantasy! The stuff that only someone who has been imprisoned... Or at least grounded, can appreciate. Someone such at Naomi Yamada. She quickly moves to the counter and orders a double order of donuts.

Upon getting them, she pulls out what looks like a pink smart phone. "You won't believe what I did. I blew up a hot water heater and turned my momma blue! No Not like Kami-sama! Like the color blue!" She states to the a person on the other end of the phone. The video image shows a girl in foreign attire.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori is snapped out of her idle thoughts by the idea that someone blew up a water heater and blue up their mom. That gets a sideways glance from the older girl who scratches the back of her head before asking herself more than anything, "How do you do both at once? I mean paint might blow a line. Would magic do it?"

She's kind of not great at keeping her voice down, so while it's quiet, it's probably not quiet enough. Those thoughts aside, she's next in line and after consideration, orders two boxes of donuts and tries to make sure there's a good mix. Then as an after thought, she orders two more. Custard filled because she's hungry and it's safer to get her own!

Naomi Yomada has posed:
The person on the other end of the phone speaks in English. Naomi quickly responds "Alright, Bye!" She hangs up and smiles a little. Happily she takes a bite of the yummy donuts and calls out, "Oishii!!!" And beams to the cook before taking another bite.

Thats about the point Naomi realizes that she's being asked questions. "Oh umm, Hi. Well, I sorta was setting up a a prank. You see, my big sister wrote on my face while I was asleep. She wrote, I'm A Nerd!'. How rude is that?! So I needed to get back at her for that. So I took apart the hot water heater and added blue hair dye to the resavour. When I heard someone wake up and stuff, I rushed to put it back together. Then I went back to bed. When I woke up the next morning there was a loud boom and then my momma was yelling at me. I went to see her and she was all blue! That was two months ago. No magic involved. Why would I know anything about magic?" Despite the fact that the phone she was just on was magic based.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori hadn't directly meant to ask the girl about it. She takes a bite of her donut. The fact that Naomi had 'I am a nerd' written on her gets a scowl, "What's wrong with being a nerd? Wait, did she write nerd or otaku?"

Then she catches herself and realizes that she is in fact, being somewhat rude having been eavesdropping in her boredom and all. She answered tough. "It's easier if you undo the showerhead and put the dye in there I bet. Was it powder dye or liquid?" Beat, "You didn't hear that from me." Beat, "Who said anything about magic?" She says that last one a touch quickly before stuffing more donut into her mouth. Yes. That was smooth. Surely.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi Yomada smiles a little and laughs, "It was liquid. The showerhead would have been easier. Still, I would have hit the wrong target. I'd have still turned momma blue and still been in trouble for the past 2 months. Still it was pretty funny. I didn't get to do much though. It was really boring."

She shakes her head, "It was nerd. Not otaku. It was more the fact that she wrote on me in permenant marker. It took hours before I could get it off of me." Then the girl tries to play off a suave move and conceal the talk of magic. She simply laughs, "Really? Thats what you're going to do? You brought it up silly! Why though?"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori nomf nomf nomf. Ignoring magic talk, nothing to see here, nothing at-hrk. She's been called out on it. "I was thinking that the two things in one go would require some kind of magic... like in books. Yes." Saved? Probably not. One gets the sense she's new to the magical side of the world.

"What's wrong with being a nerd?" She asks hurriedly, trying to change the subject. "I mean without nerds, you don't get cool toys. Without being a nerd, I wouldn't be able to put on shows for... small crowds. I mean- permanent marker is a pain. It ends up being raw by the time it's scrubbed out."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi Yomada listens to the girl as she squirms and sweats. This one definitely isn't over. "Most people older then me usually don't believe in magic and even if they read about it in books, they don't exactly talk about it like its a thing. Let alone in passing like its really real." She would know!

"Thre is nothing wrong with being a nerd! I am a nerd! I love building and inventing things and trying to improve on things. Its super fun! I was more mad about getting my face written on. Plus there is being a nerd and there is being picked on. Its a whole different thing."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori says, "Most people older than you don't spend hours after school wiring up a laser light show to do stage magic." Did that work? Probably not. She's really bad at this. She's totally going to corner the others and make them explain who's what with the things! Because knowing is far safer than not, right?

"I haven't been picked on in a long time." There's the hint of a smile as she remembers a bully finding out she was actually pretty active outside of academics. Past that though, "So did you eventually get her back?" Hey maybe that will get her out of the magic chat. "I mean sure you were grounded, but I know I tended to get creative when stuck inside too long."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
"I didn't sadly. I was grounded really bad. I was allowed in school and that was it. No clubs. No nothing. I was in my room most of the time. So no revenge for me. Don't worry though. I got a plan or three. Two months of grounding. " She shrugs and just giggles a little.

Then its right back to the question. "Oh so a laser light show is magic now?" Well. Maybe. She is a pretty cure after all and that has plenty of laser lights right? "So umm, do you want to tell me the truth or are you going to keep trying to dodge me some mroe because it is getting kinda funny."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori nomfs a donut. She's getting grilled by a younger kid and it's kind of embarassing. She'll blame it on a lack of sleep if ever questioned about it. The lack of lseep thing is easy to claim since she had spent a good chunk of it messing with some music. Nomf. "And what truth is that?" Bah!

"I did that as a kid a lot. The in my room thing, I still kind of do. School work, reading, computer work. I had to start waking up early to walk because that's not... super healthy."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi Yomada Snickers a little. "My name is Naomi. Naomi Yomada." She finally states to the older girl. "Wanna go for a little walk?" She stands up and finishes off her donuts. She quickly orders a drink and begins walking in the direction of the park.

She laughs a little. I do some things that helps me keep in shape. Even if I've been grounded for 2 months. I should be able to burn off extra weight easy enough. Its a very active somethings."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori shrugs and hefts the two boxes up and says, "Sure. Why not." Becaue it means more time to eat her second donut. Because tasty tasty horrible for you food is always worth it before a show.

"I go jogging every morning. Every other day during the week I do some weight lifting as well, not much though because too much is- I don't want to struggle to put my hands together you know?" Which indicates she may be jumping too far down the muscle-y tree.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi just walks along with a soft smile. "Ahh that is something that is kinda cool." She states as she walks along. "But you're still avoiding the question of the hour. What is so important about magic? I mean sure its gotta be important. But its not like everyone has a mirror in their heart that reflects their joys and desires for the future." Oh yeah she's not hiding anything herself.

Quickly she walks along, pulling out a heart shaped mirror which she quickly looks in it and fixes her hair. A little giggle is given and the very interesting pink, red and silver mirror crested with various gems is closed shut.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori looks at the remnants of her second donut and sighs. "What question? The one about magi- that one. Yes. It's not important! I mean I totally don't have a way of using it." She actually says that last part convincingly enough. Too bad she was totally obvious earlier though. "A mirror in the whosit? We just deal in dr-music. Dreams of music?" Well, there's an answer in there somewhere. Though there is a brief thought and she looks at the girl, "Do you like samurai?"

The giggle when she plays with the mirror is also given a curious look. She tries to get a better look at the gems while asking, "Kind of an expensive pocket mirror isn't it?" Well, it's a way to ask about it. Sure.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi Yomada looks closely at her prechan mirror and smirks a little. "Yes. Samurai are awesome. I don't watch many tv shows or anything because... I usually tear apart tvs. But what I learned about in school is really cool!!! I love how they had this really cool code of honor and such. That dishonor was a fate worse then death."

Her eyes go back to her mirror. "What do you think about the Pretty Cure?" She asks curiously. "You know? The legendary warriors who appear when the world needs them the most?" She doesn't go into anymore depth then that.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori rubs the back of her head and murmurs, "Hakuomaru seemed to imply otherwise- I mean bushido was certainly a thing, but I'm pretty sure that some of it was exaggerated." With a bit of a laugh, she says, "I do u- like the big two handed swords though. They're neat~" Yeah she's not great at hiding it anymore and she wasn't great before.

She looks at Naomi completely baffled and asks, "The who? Are they a cover band?" She sounds definitely sincere there. She knows the Cure. Maybe it's an anime? "Uh, I don't, I'm sorry."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi Yomada smiles and slips her mirror into her pocket. "So good or bad?" She asks point blank. She isn't going to hold back anymore. "I'm not going to have to find out what it is to square off against a Samurai am I?" She asks in a playful tone.

Quickly she stretches and considers something. She could power up. There is no one around. She hasn't been Cure Spark in two months as she was being punished by her mother. "They are just girls who help out where they can." She down plays.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori looks at Naomi and asks, "The Samurai? I guess it depends on your daimyo doesn't it?" Then it clicks that the girl may have meant something else. "I think I'm good? Still kind of depends on which side you're on right?" Beat, "You don't work for a dream eating horror right?"

Yuzuki's contemplating stealing a donut from the boxes. "I think we help out too- we had to save a dream and- ugh my armor is still grey. That's the other thing."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Naomi Yomada smiles a little to Yuzuki. "Not that I know. Last I checked I worked for Blue-sama. He is a really umm... dreamy guy?" She blushes a little bit. Right now she's glad her mirror is closed and hidden because if he heard that he'd likely be annoyed. "What I mean is you don't seem like a bad person. Also you never gave me your name."

A moment later, she looks down at the mirror which she's drawn out again. Looking around, she makes sure things are clear. And then, "Time to Change!)" She states this whole holding a trio of cards and her mirror. She loads them into the mirror and the image of a magical girl takes the place of the image of her. "Pretty Cure! Rolling Mirror Change!" Immediately the area is flooded with cyan light with lightning bolts flashing around the girl. She is cloaked and struck by lightning several times. Each time, a different change occurs. Then one final strike and she tosses off cloak revealing Cure Spark! She begins drawing a lightning bolt in front of her with yellow light, "Curiosity Sparking the Fires of Creativity! CURE SPARK!" Just like that the light show ends leaving the Pretty cure Standing in front of the girl has only the shell appearance of Naomi. Floating around her is a lilac colored plush fairy.

The Fairy looks at Spark and just shakes her head, "This is supposed to be secret! Or did you forget in your little Vacation!"

Spark shakes her head, "Cute, Lilac. Its fine. I am pretty sure this nice lady isn't much different."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori sets the donuts down and to the side while looking around. "Blue-sama? Is it supposed to sound like the English word?" She stops and asks, "They're not part of that group is he?" She doesn't seem to realize that may be rude, but she is really new to all of this and super confused by all of it.

The henshin gets her attention pretty quickly. She covers her eyes at the light, looking away and making a silent note to thank whoever set their own powers up that it's mostly done with cord and mirrors- Well cord at least. She takes a cautious step back, feeling vindicated at the lightning strike which reveals the Pretty Cure. Her shoulders slump and she says, "Define much different? I really don't... it's only fair, but it's so heavy!"

She really hopes there isn't a rule about doing this as she takes the cord around her neck, a red thing and tugs it while calling out, "Grasp the cord of fate!" and tugging it sharply. The cord seems to extend out from her hands and surrounds her completely, obscuring her features. When it blows and fades away, she's standing there in ancient, heavy looking samurai armor, particularly along her left arm and a more modern looking menpo mask hung around her neck. Both hands resting on the rather large, dark colored nodachi, she huffs and says, "There." She isn't sure if she should feel like the henshin should be flashier or not really. She gets armor though and that's neat.

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark giggles a little and extends a hand. "Nice to meet you! My name is Cure Spark! I am a Pretty Cure!" She laughs and then, Oh look! Another henshin! Well guess the secrets are out. "Okay, Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I guess we both suck at keeping secrets don't we." She winks playfully.

"So A Samurai." She giggles and smiles a little. "Very dramatic coloring really." The lack of orange is definitely a slight problem. She giggles a little. "So I fight against the Phantom Empire. They want to destroy love and bring misfortune to the entire planet. They are jerks!"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Hakuomaru leans on her sword and checks over her shoulder, checking the handle of her two flintlocks at her belt. "Hakuomaru is what I went by when I wore this originally- I guess I go by it again. He'll be so annoyed I said it that way too I bet."

Quick shake of her head after, she scowls and says, "It's supposed to be orange, but uh, that's a problem we're working on resolving." Beat, foot tap. Fidget. "Oh and we're fighting the Eater of Dreams" she looks at the handle of the rather large sword before continuing, "He uh... eats dreams which when they're all gone, the person is just in a stupor. There's more to it, but I don't really know all of it yet."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark smiles a little, "Sounds like we are on the same side then. So can I trust you to keep my secret, Hakuomaru?" She laughs a little and just stretches. "It has so been too long since I powered up. I think I am due to kick some butt! I mean I've not been able to do anything! Couldn't beat up on Terribads or Kindabads, Couldn't collect any cute precards!!!" She laughs a little bit.

She takes a seat on a bench nearby and listens. "So what it says on the tin. A creatures that eats dreams and leaves people in a stupor... That sounds completely dangerous. If you ever need help dealing with it, let me know. I'd be game!"

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Hakuomaru suddenly looks really worried and says, "Never tell Gull that I forgot the name of your uh... group Spark. She'll never let me live it down." Especially since they're friends on both sides, what with Gull having been there for her waking up. That memory brings a weird half-smile, then a scowl. "That voice still throws me off-." Not that she explains it.

Pointing at the cards, she asks, "So you beat things up and they turn into those cards- or is it something else?" Subject change! "I was there for breaking orange too- I was there at the meeting for it this morning too. There's a lot of us, isn't there?"

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark blinks a few times "You know Gull-chan?! She's a friend and a teammate. Yes we are both Pretty Cures. We pretty much beat the tar out of things the size of a two story buildings. And things people sized. I've not picked a fight with any of the Generals directly yet. SOme of them are really tough!"

The girl giggles a little, "No. When a we defeat something of dark magic nature. Like Terribads and such, We get special cards. They allow us different abilities. Different henshins sometimes, different outfits. They are a lot of fun! If we collect the cards though, we get to make one wish, Anything." She then listens carefully. "So something got rid of orange? That is really messed up."

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Hakuomaru hefts her sword up out of the ground and rests it on her shoulder, oophing at the weight. It really is seemingly too large, but she can swing it at least. "Uh-" Looking around, she drops her henshin without much ceremony. Not just because it's lighter this way, but there still aren't any witnesses and it's easier to explain magical girl than it is to explain, 'Authentic armor and sword with guns.' to the average person.

"I am friends with her and up until this week I didn't know she did this sort of thing at all!- I'm still getting used to it." She crouches down to scoop up her donuts again and nods. "They did. It's why everything looks funny. We're trying... they're trying. I'll be helping here soon though."

Naomi Yomada has posed:
Cure Spark nods, "Good luck! That is the best I can offer right now. I will do as I can to help out. Until then. I think I need to go. Its getting a little late." With a flash she is back to her normal self.

She smiles and just gives the older girl a hug. "It was nice meeting you. Its pretty cool making new friends. Even more cool when you got something secret and in common!" She giggles a little bit. With that she turns and begins walking in the direction of home.

Yuzuki Amemori has posed:
Yuzuki Amemori lifts the boxes up with one hand and returns the hug for the girl. "Uh- I'm Yuzuki Amemori or on stage Nagame, please don't call me Hakuomaru, it will just confuse a lot of people."

After the hug she pats the girl on the head teasingly and says, "Let me know if /you/ need help too. I'm supposed to be a guardian right?" Before starting to jog towards her gig!
