Scene #2781: Ice Cream with Eva!

Owner	Pose
Evangeline	Ice cream! Everyone likes ice cream, right? That was Evangeline's hope when she invited the others for ice cream. She realized that the cafeteria wasn't the best social meeting place, but she did not know of any good and easily reachable ice cream shops, and there was no ice cream at the base of the 501st right now. So, the littlest Neuroi was floating near the front of the cafeteria line, waiting for her friends and allies. Those who have not met Evangeline before might be a bit weirded out. She looks like a young girl, about 12, but her face has no features and her legs end in something like the engine pod of a propeller plane. The weirdness is completed by her cat-like ears and tail, but at least those add some cuteness, as does the fact that her 'sleeves' are apparently too long. One cannot see her hands.
Zephyr Windstar	Zephyr's here, somewhere. It's hard to miss the Mage, especially since she's wearing her Barrier Jacket. Thankfully she's kept her Device in Standby mode, so there's no giant battle-ax to deal with. She tromps through the Cafeteria, and offers a wave to Evangeline. She finds a seat somewhere, and leans back on the chair, lacing her fingers behind her head.
Tatsuto Satou	A few yards away from the cafeteria entrance, a public terminal set into the wall suddenly lights up. The screen projects what appears to be a flat hologram of a field beside a lake. Which is weird because this terminal doesn't have hologram emitters in its screen... Suddenly, dots of colour begin to materialise in front of the 'hologram', building up into the forms of Tatsuto and Plotmon! A moment later, the DigiPort winks off, and the two make their way into the cafeteria casually, as if what they just did wasn't weird at all.
Na`Sabal-Une Fang	Even Forest Guardian drowfaeries like ice cream! Which is why soon enough, Nasa was somewhat lazily hovering into the Cafeteria. Nasa hadn't seen Neuroi Girl in person, but she did generally have a bit of an obsessive compulsion to ensure that she knew generally what was in her ally's information sheets. This generally meant she had a somewhat vague idea of what people looked like! She shifts her gaze here and there, taking note of the people in the room. Both elite and non-elite, all were interesting for the guardian of nature, as she rarely left her post. That and they were all 'surfacers'. Spotting Evangeline... she hovered over to float next to her, her wings fluttering slowly as she bobs up and down. "Nasa greets~." She says cheerfully. Zeph was taken note of and offered a polite wave, and Nasa just kind of glances at that materialization. Yep. That's totally normal. It was just teleportation, really! Also that little dog things was cute. Not that Nasa would ever admit it. "Does look like everyone's here." She murmurs.
Evangeline	Evangeline was waiting at the front of the line because she figured they would want to go through for the ice cream, but when she spots Zephyr at a table already she offers a wave. Like Nasa, Evangeline browses files for descriptions of people she does not know, so when Satou enters, she raises a sleeve-like arm to wave to him as well. Nasa joins her at the cafeteria line, and Evangeline nods lightly to her. "...greetings..." she says, her voice not coming from her head, but instead from the watch on her arm. She looks around after that, then radios to Zephyr and Satou, "...you should join us in the line...we are getting ice cream...I am the black metallic-looking girl floating beside the dark purple girl..." That last part is included mostly for Satou and Plotmon. Zephyr is already familiar with Eva.
Zephyr Windstar	Zephyr blinks a bit, looking over at Evangeline and Nasa. "I'm fine without, I just wanted to spend time with ya." she replies to Evangeline, smirking softly at the Neuroi. "I've saved ya seats, so come'n join me when y'got whatchya want." She sounds all rough and ready, and that's mostly true!
Tatsuto Satou	Tatsuto stops walking as he's suddenly radioed! He looks around and... immediately spots Evangeline. Because, seriously. She's not easy to miss. He raises one hand in greeting and strolls on over. "Man, am I seriously the tallest one here? That's weird," he says casually, hands in his pockets. Plotmon 'waff's at Nasa and Eva. "Hi!"
Na`Sabal-Une Fang	Nasa shifts her ears slightly, tilting towards that watch where Evangeline's voice was coming from. Interesting. Her purple eyes shift towards that watch briefly, lightly glowing as she reflexively glanced for magic coming off of Evangeline, her nose twitching as she picked up ... the smells of basically everything in the cafeteria. That made it difficult to pick up smells. Ugh. "...You are to being interesting, Evangeline-person." Nasa says, giving a firm nod. "Is naut like any other surfacer Nasa has to meeting." She comments. Her attention is pulled towards Zephyr as she says that she's fine without, her ears shifting slightly as she seemed to think. Her ear tilts slightly to the side, twitching ever-so-slightly. "Just wanted to spend time... hmm. Is sure that does to naut wanting ice cream? If does not get some, Nasa will to just eating yours~." Nasa says, flashing a playful grin. It showed off those sharp teeth, though in spite of that... it was a more or less completely non-threatening grin. Tatsuto gets her attention there. She looks at him quietly for several long moments. "Nau. You are naut tallest person here. There are to being several non-elite soldiers that are to being of standard height for surfacer adults. You are naut." She says matter-of-factly towards Tatsuto. She also makes a point of hovering a little higher, so that the top of her head was just above Tatsuto's. That made her taller, really! She loooks down towards Plotmon a few moments. "...Hello. You are to being that thing from the radio that does sound super-cheerful, Nasa does to assume." She says, chatting while she hovers, gradually moving with the line as it moves. She seemed to barely look it -- likely using sounds to tell her when the line has moved.
Evangeline	The Neuroi nods to Zephyr at the reply, then looks over at Nasa. "...thank you...it is nice that those from outside my world seem to accept me so readily..." she says. When Tatsuto arrives and Nasa comments on his statement, Evangeline tilts her head slightly. "...perhaps he meant among those of our group...although I believe Zephyr is taller..." she says in that quiet, almost monotone voice of hers. There is just enough inflection to get the message across properly. Eva is also floating about a foot off the ground, but she is obviously not very tall, about the same height as Nasa. Once Tatsuto is there, they start through the ice cream line. As this is the Njorun cafeteria, it is no stainless steel machine with plungers to pull. It is more like a 31 flavors-type arrangement. Evangeline turns her head toward Nasa and Tatsuto as they reach the server. "...please...get whatever you would like...it is my treat..." she says, then orders a triple scoop cone of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate ice cream. Neopolitan in a cone!
Tatsuto Satou	"Yeah, but those several non-elite adult soldiers aren't part of this little get-together. They just happen to also be here," Tatsuto counters, before poking his tongue out and standing up on his tip-toes. He'll obviously lose an 'I'm-taller-than-you' contest with someone who can FLY, but he's totally gonna play along anyway. "Honestly... Evangeline, right? You kinda just look like an Android-type Digimon. Uh, no offense or anything. I see weirder stuff all the time, is all I mean." Pause. "N-not that you're weird!" He holds his hands up defensively. "Just, uh..." "Tatsuto thinks Evangeline is cute!" Plotmon says, with a firm nod. "...Also, yes, Plotmon is the cheerful one on the radio! Plotmon's name is Plotmon!" Thankfully, ordering ice cream saves Tatsuto from mild social awkwardness. "Uh... mint... chocolate? That sounds good. And Plotmon will have... Vanilla?" "Vanilla!" "Yep, vanilla for the puppy."
Zephyr Windstar	Zephyr just waits for the others to get what they're after, a couple of holographic screens popping up in front of her, which she works on with quick gestures and a good deal of mental commands. They're mostly reports being written or confirming and filing away.
Na`Sabal-Une Fang	"Does definitely to understanding that sen-ti-ment. Is to being from a race that is normally to being hated." Nasa says, tapping herself lightly. She was small, cute, and in a giant fluffy oversized sweater. Yep. Totally a hated race! "Is from Drow, which are normally to being treacherous and evil. Is now halfbreed, but that story is complicated." Nasa says, giving a small little nod. She glances towards Evangeline, flashing another one of those greens. "Nasa did to knowing~. But is fun to being literal sometimes. Surfacers do to react in amusing ways sometimes, yes." Nasa says honestly. Get whatever she would like! ... ... Crap that actually made it difficult. Nasa didn't like sweets until she became more fae, so she didn't know much about this mystical 'creamed ice'. "Uhmmm...." She blinks a few moments, looking at the ice cream menu, before looking at what Evangeline ordered. "...Will have the same as Evangeline, yes." Nasa says, giving a firm nod. Out of the corner, she turns her gaze at Tatsuto as he gets up on tip-toes. She sunk down to the floor aft that, her bare feet resting on the ground. "Is true, they rea to not being part of this little get-together." Nasa says, tapping her lip thoughtfully with a finger. Hmm hmm hmm. "...Plotmon?" She's pulled out of her thoughts, glancing down at the little puppy. "... Is interesting name. Nasa is Na`Sabal-Une Fang, the Forgotten Winter Rose and Guardian of the Wilds." Nasa says, dipping into a polite little curtsy, lifting up the edges of her oversized sweater. She then straightens up, "Oh also, to getting second vanilla cone!" Nasa says, giving a firm nod. She was being stubborn. This was an ice cream meetup. Thus Zephyr would have ice cream! Once she had her 'neopolitan' and the vanilla cone for Zephyr... she fluttered over to Zephyr. And then she unceremoniously poked the vanilla cone through the holograms to hold out in front of Zephyr. "Here." She says, watching Zephyr with an amused look on her face. She was totally wanting to see Zephyr's reaction.
Zephyr Windstar	"I'll be in touch." Zephyr says to the screen right in front of her. "I know, I know... I'll call him later, I'm just with a few friends right no---" then suddenly she has an ice cream cone in her face. "GAH!" she flails, and falls backward, tipping the chair over and scattering the holoscreen into motes of purple light. Thankfully, Divine Wind has the presense to auto cast a buffering spell, cushioning the impact with a 'bubble' of purple magic... though this leaves Zephyr in the awkward position of 'sitting' on a chair that's on its back.
Evangeline	Not only do people accept her, but they understand? Evangeline is still as she processes that and listens to Nasa's story. "...surfacers...you live underground..?" she asks Nasa as they head back to the table. Evangeline similarly flies above the crowd, until she remembers they have ground-bound companions. She floats back over Tatsuto and Plotmon, who have been handed their ice creams as well. "...please...come with me..." she says, then starts floating through the crowd, careful to avoid bumping into people as she guides Tatsuto and Plotmon over to Zephyr and Nasa. As they walk/float, Evangeline turns to watch Tatsuto. "...you...think I am cute..?" she asks, head tilted slightly to one side in a sign of curiousity. It is unclear why she is asking. She might just be curious, she might be flattered, she might be considering whether Tatsuto is cute as well. It is pretty hard to tell with her lack of expression and near monotone voice. It isn't even clear if she is thinking cute like a puppy or the other kind of cute. They reach the table a few moments after Nasa startles Zephyr, so Zephyr gets to watch Evangeline float there, staring at her. "...that is not the proper use of a chair..." she comments before floating down into a chair beside Zephyr. With how her legs are designed, she has to swing them under the table where they stick forward like two pieces of iron.
Tatsuto Satou	Plotmon regards Nasa for a while. "...That name is too long. Plotmon will call Nasa 'Nasa'." She nods her head firmly, then scampers after Evangeline! As Nasa startled Zephyr almost out of her chair, Plotmon huffs a bit. "That was mean," she declares, then hops up onto the table and sits on her haunches. "I, uh..." Tatsuto is caught a bit off guard by Evangeline, to tell the truth. "Yyyy-yes? I mean, you have cat ears and a tail, and, uh... you're short... You're a girl..." He is thankful when they reach the table and he can hide his mouth behind icecream. Plotmon carefully holds hers between her two forepaws and noms at it. Omnom.
Na`Sabal-Une Fang	Aaaand Zephyr freaks out and falls over onto her back. That just gets Nasa watching at her with an amused look, though she's doing her best to hide it behind a 'really you're that easily spooked' look. It's not working very well, especially with the barely-held-back-snicker. She flutters over the table, one of her feet moving to hook onto the bottom edge of that chair. A bit of magic later, and wind is beginning to push Zephyr back up into a sitting position on the chair. "That was to naut being very graceful. You are to naut being afraid of ice cream, Nasa hopes." She says, holding the vanilla icecream cone up for Zephyr to take. As she holds that vanilla ice cream out, she lazily licks at the strawberry part of her own ice cream. Nasa turns a much less overly-amused smile towards Evangeline. "Siyo<Yes>; Nasa did to live underground for roughly 100 years of Nasa's life." She says with a firm nod. "Then did to come to surface. Is still very strange, even several years later, yes." Nasa says, licking her ice cream again. "Sun is also to being evil. Nasa's eyes are to being specialized for vision in darkness. But is better than underground for other reasons." Nasa tilts her head down towards Plotmon. "Yes, can to calling Nasa, 'Nasa'. Full name is hard on everyone's tongue, even Nasa's." She says with an amused look. When Plotmon says it was mean, Nasa just tilts her head. "...Was offering ice cream. DId naut expect for her to actually fall over. Screen thingy did to naut seem fully unable to see through either..." She murmurs, musing a bit. Hmm. "...Oh well." She says, giving a helpless shrug. She licks at her ice cream again, shifting a hand slightly to poke and prod at Zephyr a bit. "You did to naut actually get hurt, right? Nasa can to soothe pain if needs."
Zephyr Windstar	Zephyr lays there, and scowls up at Evangeline when she speaks. "Says the girl without knees." she grouses back. She's about to get herself up, the 'old fashioned' way, when Nasa starts lifting her with magic. Arms fold over her chest as she's righted, and she stares at Nasa with a returned 'Are you quite finished' look. She accepts the ice cream, and rolls her eyes. "I'm about as afraid of ice cream as a Par'Thran is afraid of a DulDul." she remarks, leaving the names and what they mean up in the air. "And it'll take more than that to hurt me. I was third place in the WMAT A bracket last year."
Evangeline	Evangeline tilts her head again as Zephyr talks about her, then turns her attention to Tatsuto again. "...I am not a girl...at least...not in the human sense...I took on this shape to better socialize with humans...but, I do not mind being referred to as a girl..." she says, then brings her ice cream toward her face. She holds it still a moment, then where her mouth should have been all along, a hole slowly expands outward, making it look rather like Evangeline is saying 'aaaah'. She then brings the ice cream closer and once inside she closes her 'mouth' again. There is no chewwing, the ice cream simply disappears. Nearly an entire scoop at once. She had been holding the ice cream cone between the two sleeve-like ends of her arms, but after she takes a bite, Evangeline's fingers appear. Long, slender, almost fairy-like, the fingers of her right hand wrap around her cone, then she reaches the fingers of her left hand over toward Plotmon. "...do you...enjoy pettings...?" she asks the digimon. Dog-like things usually enjoy pettings, but she felt it would be rude to simply start without asking. She looks toward Nasa again after that. "...I have only been active for about three years...before that, I was merely part of my hive...it took a lot of adjustment to live on the human base..."
Tatsuto Satou	"Plotmon's data is forty-eight years old! Plotmon only has memories from a year ago though," the puppy says, nomming on her ice cream every now and then. "Plotmon reincarnated," she adds, as if that explains anything. "Yeah, uh, see, thing is, Plotmon isn't a 'girl' by 'human standards' either. Digimon don't have biological sexes. They don't even breed like real animals do, they're generated from random data packets or reconfigured after another Digimon dies. But she's still a girl." Tatsuto grins a bit. "Besides, it's more important what you feel like you are. If my sister decided she was really a boy, then, well, I'd have a brother. Even if he has the wrong... uh. Parts." Can you tell Tatsuto spends a lot of time on the Internet? "Plotmon enjoys pettings," the puppy confirms.
Na`Sabal-Une Fang	Nasa's gaze grows a bit more serious at Zephyr's response, shifting slightly. "Good, would not do for accident to have actually injured you. Really did to naut expect you to fall over. Maybe jump a little, naut fall over." Nasa says, shaking her head slightly. She shifts her ears slightly. "Third place? Congratulations. Is an achievement." Nasa says, firmly nodding. Frankly, considering how many elites there are... it really is. And she means that honestly and wholeheartedly! "Nasa has to never actually joined it, but can to understand the interest in testing self against other elites to see who is strongest." Nasa says with a firm nod Nasa's ear twitches as she listens to Evangeline talk, glancing towards her as her mouth opened in that 'aaaaaah'. And... then Evangeline ate a whole scoop at once. "..." Nasa looks at her own ice cream. Then at Evangeline. She tilts her head, before mimicing her as best as she could, opening her mouth. And ... biting off the top ice cream scoop of her own. Which causes the reaction that you would expect of a normal person. She closes her eyes, shuddering as she gets a brainfreeze, while trying to swallow that too-large mouthful of ice cream. That was not the best of ideas ever. Not at all. She shifts slightly, pulling a face as she waits for the brainfreeze to pass. Right. Don't mimic the things that seem to be some form of android. "Mmmmhh. You probably do to mature faster than the Drow do. We do to take 115 years to mature. Nasa is only barely an adult, technically." Nasa mumbles, rubbing at the side of her head. Her gaze then focuses on Plotmon. "Forty-eight years... that does to making you fairly old, yes. ... Reincarnated? Interesting. So you did to die before, and reincarnated this way." Nasa says, seeming to comprehend relatively easily. "Is interesting." She says, taking a small nod as she files away that information for later. She lifts her hand towards Plotmon, intent on brushing her fingers along the puppy's fur. "Wonders what you did to look like before your reincarnation." Nasa murmurs idly, debating seeing if her Hand of Growth could help show that. But that was taxing, and without permission, could cause problems.
Zephyr Windstar	Zephyr shrugs. "Boy, Girl, Androgynous Alien... don't matter to me one bit." she replies lifting her nose and speaking in a slightly haughty tone. "I'm nineteen, been using magic since I was eight, only really got proper training when I was sixteen though." she exposits for no real reason. She looks over at Evangeline then, and reaches over to place a hand on the 'girls' shoulder. "You look like a girl, y'talk like a girl, so it don't matter if you're not a 'girl' by human standards. Yer one of the girls t'me, an' that all that matters."
Evangeline	Evangeline watches Nasa as Nasa mimics her. It is intriguing to the Neuroi, since she is usually the one mimicing others. When Nasa gets the inevitable brain-freeze from it, Evangeline headtilts slightly. "...are you alright..?" she asks Nasa while her fingers start gently stroking through Plotmon's fur. "...Neuroi do not mature...we are born as old and as large as we will ever be without absorbing something..." she says, then she takes a more sensible bite of her own ice cream. Half a scoop instead of a whole one. As both Tatsuto and Zephyr assure her that she is a girl by all the important definitions, Evangeline looks down and hides behind her ice cream. "...thank you..." she says even more quietly than usual. She's happy and shy all at once, but again without facial features only the shyness really comes across. She takes another bite of her ice cream cone while she attempts to hide behind it, then straightens up again. "...so...how old are you, Tatsuto..?" Seems fair. He's the only one who hasn't said.
Tatsuto Satou	Plotmon munches down the rest of her ice cream - cone and all - to better enjoy the pettings. She doesn't get brain freeze, apparently! Lucky non-mammals. She half-lids her eyes and twitches her right-rear leg. Wag wag goes her tail. Her fur is all soft and... puppy-like. "She was probably an angel. See this?" Tatsuto reaches down and flicks his finger against the golden metal collar around Plotmon's neck. It goes 'ting'. "This is a Holy Ring. It signifies holiness and stuff. She -could- be a redeemed demon, I guess..." Plotmon lets out a 'grrrrr' suddenly. "...But given she reacts like that any time I suggest it, probably not." Tatsuto snickers a bit at Nasa eating way too much ice cream at once. "...Mh? Oh. I'm sixteen."
Na`Sabal-Une Fang	"Eight... eight... that is to being equivalent of around... mm..." Nasa muses a bit, working at converting that. Tapping her lip a bit. "Probably around ... 40-ish in Drow years." She muses, before she gives a small nod. "Is impressive to start using your magic then, yes. Nasa was only using her drow spell-like abilities at that age, yes." Nasa says with a firm nod. She looks over Evangeline for a few moments, before she gives a soft giggle. "Yes! Is fine. Is uhm... is phenomenon when people do to eat too much cold things. Humans do to calling it a 'brain freeze'. Is kind of unpleasant. You should to being happy you seem to being unable to have one." Nasa nods simply. The mention that she doesn't mature gets a curious look. "Ah... does sound similar to a lot of fae then, many are to being born as adults and are to being adult until they die. Is interesting." Nasa says, licking at her ice cream. Muse muse. Technically, Nasa hasn't said her actual age! Not that she could. Her memories are too fragmented to know her exact age. The response to the pettings from PLotmon gets an amused look. "You are to being just like a wolf, yes. Is interesting!" She pauses. An angel? Huh. "...Interesting. Hmm." Nasa pulls her hand back, fingers shifting slightly as she holds her ice cream cone with both hands. "Mmm... Nasa has something to think about. Does hope you four do to having fun paths." Nasa says, dipping into a slight curtsy. And then she begins to flutter off rather unceremoniously.
Evangeline	Evangeline headtilts slightly as Plotmon starts to twitch and wag and such, then a series of chirps flows from the Neuroi. Little metallic screeches that form into a sort of giggle. "...or, perhaps she is currently some sort of holy creature..." Evangeline offers as she keeps petting. She looks over as Nasa compares her to a fae, and she lowers her head slightly, contemplating. "...many have compared me to a fae or fairy...perhaps I am in some way..." she says. Then, Nasa leaves rather abruptly. Evangeline raises her ice cream cone-clutching hand to wave goodbye...and the last scoop falls right on the top of Evangeline's head. She pauses mid-wave when she feels the ice cream land on her, then she slowly lowers her arm and looks at the now empty cone. She stares at it for a few moments, then just eats the cone. "...I should be going as well...I will need to start my patrol soon..." she says, then she reaches up and holds a hand over the ice cream on her head. A gentle red beam emits from her hand, and the ice cream seems to just disintegrate. Evangeline looks toward the three still with her, then leans over to give Zephyr a hug. "...thank you for coming..." she says, then she leans over to Tatsuto and hugs him as well. "...it was nice to meet you.." Then, finally, Plotmon gets a hug. "...and you..." And with that, Evangeline floats away.
Zephyr Windstar	Zephyr is fond of cute things, though she'd never admit it, and reaches over to gently pet Plotmon too. "I should head out, gotta check some reports... and I think Vivio's WMAT match is starting soon. Gotta show some support!" she stands, and wanders out with her icecream cone. "Was nice meetin' ya, Tetsuto! Catch ya on the flip side."
Tatsuto Satou	"...Hm. I guess she might be. She's a Mammal-type, not a Holy Beast-type, but... I dunno." He shrugs! "To be honest I was more into the demons back before all... this stuff happened." And then people are leaving! Plotmon pouts a bit, and Tatsuto just looks confused. "Uh. I...'ll see you guys, then?" And then he's hugged! Which kinda just results him him becoming speechless while the girls leave.
