<Pose Tracker> Nanoha Takamachi [Infinity Institute (4)] has posed.
After her training with Fate and Lera earlier in the day, Nanoha was feeling the effects of her new abilities. It was great to be able to be back in training but at the same time it is a lot for the young girl and her sister was able to sense her exhaustion when she had arrived home and they had decided to come to the beach!
It's still pretty cold out so Nanoha is in a long sleeve blue shirt with a black skirt and leggings underneath. While it's definitely too cold to be in the water, Nanoha enjoys just being around the water. There is a certain sense of calmness and serenity when she is here and it's easy to, just for a bit, forget about everything.
She sits on a bench with a small bag in her hand. It looks like its from a candy shop? As she watches the waves rolling in, Nanoha seems to be pretty happy. Her signature necklace is around her neck. She rarely goes anywhere without Raising Heart. Too many things could happen while one is unprepared!
<Pose Tracker> Steven Universe [Juuban Public School (5)] has posed.
"Fall back men! We are being overrun!" "Sir, I can't just leave you here!" "You have you! It is our only chance!" Two high ranking marines argue to each other in the heat of the moment. A kaiju of epic proportions bearing down on them. They knew they didn't stand a chance, and one makes the ultimate sacrifice! Distractign the creature so the other may live! "Run! Ahhhhhh!"
Snip.
A large crab has just snipped a plastic army figure right in half. Steven Universe's eyes grow wide. "Such breavery. He was going to retire after this bout."
The stout boy stands up and dusts the sand off his knees. "See Garnet? That is how we pretend! None of that actually happened, but it makes for an interesting story!"
Currently, Steven is drawing Garnet across the beach area, showing her what movies are all about, and how they are made. He actually has a MC BearBear Recording Studio Camera and has been having fun with it for the past few days. In the end it is just a cheap recorder, but i nthe hands of a child, the sky is the limit!
He is pretty sure Garnet has an imagination, but Pearl just couldn't seem to wrap her head around it. At least the non-documentary movies, such as thrillers or action flicks. So perhaps Garnet could help explain it to her in some Gem way!
Amethyst would have just made the issue worse, so don't even ask.
"Can you think of anything that would make a good movie?"
<Pose Tracker> Garnet [None] has posed.
"Hmmmm... how about one about a little boy with a big imagination who's getting sleepier than he realizes from a big day of playing with soldiers and crabs, and leaves his esteemed director behind to join his mum for dinner before he goes to bed?"
Garnet just smiles a small smile, not able to break to Steven that she has an imagination and knows what movies are.
But he's having fun, playing and being a normal human child, and especially lately, that's a rare and precious thing. There have been a great many magical business interruptions lately.
And soon.
<Pose Tracker> Nanoha Takamachi [Infinity Institute (4)] has posed.
Unfortunately, Nanoha has missed the epic battle on the beach but what she doesn't miss are Steven and Garnet approaching. It's pretty hard to miss them after all. Even in a huge city like Tokyo, the two of them stand out and not only that, the young girl recognizes Steven!
Quickly she approaches him, "Heeeey! I remember you!" Nanoha grins at the boy before looking at Garnet. Her eyes grow big O.O and for a minute she seems to forget that there is something she should say. She looks to the woman, "Oh, I am Nanoha Takamachi!"
Then she notices the camera, "Ooh, are you recording something?" Should he decide to point the camera at her, she will quickly stick out her tongue and flash a peace sign. "So what are you doing here today?" Maybe Steven is a secret filmmaker?!
<Pose Tracker> Steven Universe [Juuban Public School (5)] has posed.
Steven listens to Garnet's pitch, resting a hand on his chin. "It could be a best seller! A family movie!" The boy turns the camera toward Garnet for a moment, and then to himself. "We could be movie stars! We would get to sign autographs, go to conventions!"
Have his own television series.
The pink-shirted child jumps a moment when a voice catches him from the side. He spins the camera to see... a girl! One that looks familiar somehow. Maybe from school? Whoever she is, she knows him, evidently. "You do?" he asks as he lowers the camera. "Nice to meet you! I am Steven! Steven Universe." A pause. "I've seen you somewhere before, too... I can't remember where though! I think, anyway."
The boy looks down to the camera. "Sorta! I am showing Garnet here how neat movies can be!" Steven points the camera back to Nanoha again, and gets caught off guard at the pose. "Ahh!-- Oh, I'm not really good at it, but it makes for a fun way to pass the time."
"Oh, by the way, this is Garnet," he adds in, gesturing in a grand fashion with a faked royal accent. "What bring you out here?"
<Pose Tracker> Garnet [None] has posed.
Garnet nods to the girl. "Steven is an Auteur."
She looks over and smiles to him before turning her focus back to Nanoha.
"It's nice to meet you Nanoha Takamachi."
Garnet gives the customary bow though it seems still awkward for her, especially given her unusual height.
She'd inquire as to Nanoha's business here, but Steven asks the important questions so she doesn't have to, and simply waits for the reply.
<Pose Tracker> Nanoha Takamachi [Infinity Institute (4)] has posed.
"Good to see you Steven-kun!" Nanoha responds to Steven. She merely shrugs about where they may know each other from. For now... ~It is a mystery~. When Steven introduces Garnet, Nanoha smiles, "You too Garnet-san!" Nanoha is pretty sure that she has never seen anyone quite like Garnet before.
The younger girls eyes sparkle a little when Steven mentions movies. "Ooooh... I want to be in a movie! I could be..." Nanoha seems to think about it for a few minutes before shaking her head. "Actually, I am not sure what I would do but it would be fun I'm sure!"
Nanoha bounces a little as she takes out some pocky from her bag. It comes from a pink box so it's... STRAWBERRY! flavored. Everyone knows that's the best flavor! She offers some to both Garnet and Steven.
As for why she's here, "Oh! My sister and I came out here to relax but uh..." She rubs the back of her neck with one hand. "She went shopping so I am just here alone for now. Can I see what you were taping?" She asks towards Steven. "I usually only record stuff between me and my friends, especially Fate-chan!" There is no comment on the sheer amount of times they corresponded while she was gone.
<Pose Tracker> Steven Universe [Juuban Public School (5)] has posed.
Steven is... not qutie sure what an Auteur is, but it sure sounds fancy! He knows she is the quiet type, so does not pressure her to talk. Wonder why though? It has always been a curious question. Pearl and Amethyst are always talkative. Why not her?
Not that that is a problem. Makes it super cool when she does talk!
"Well, the good thing about movies is, you can be whatever you want!" A spy, a chef, even a Sailor Senshi! The sky is the limit on a home movie.
THe boy stares intently at that box. Those things. Are so good. The boy definitely accepts the offering of Pocky! "I don't know who makes these, but they are amazing!" Snack food like Pocky makes him miss Cookie Cats... just a slight bit less.
"Sure!" he offers, ushering both closer. It has a flip out monitor that can play what was recorded. Not very high quality, but it gets the job done. Screencaps of multiple fights inolving plastic figures can be seen on various environments, including but not limited to: beach, beach, waterside beach, sand castle, on top of something square, black and fluffy, and on what looks like the belly of a pink Lion.
And of course what Steven just recorded between the three of them. "Hey, I know someone named Fate too! That can't be a very common name. Shes about my age! I think." And she is also a magical girl capable of widespread attacks capable of decimating badguys, but that is a story for another time!
<Pose Tracker> Nanoha Takamachi [Infinity Institute (4)] has posed.
"That's true!" Nanoha exclaims. "Maybe I could be a super hero! I could save everyone and make everyone get along!" Wait... wasn't that pretty much what she already does, or tries to do, in a way. "Well... in an ideal world anyway." She smiles, eyes glimmering.
Garnet being mostly silent doesn't seem to bother the girl too much. Although she wonders if she was like Steven's mom or something. Even though she thinks of the question, Nanoha also thinks about Precia and decides that it's possible she doesn't want to know the answer right now.
She gets very excited when Steven shows her the videos. Some of them are pretty normal but she laughs at the crab taking the plastic figure. "Uh-oh, I guess he didn't like them!" Nanoha continues watching, not sure what some of the other videos are but the pink fur does catch her attention. "Ooooh, it looks so sooooft! What is that?" Because pink fur that is moving is definitely not something she's used to. Maybe special effects?
Turning her attention from the camera, "Ohhhh you know Fate-chan!?" This gets her very, very bouncy. "She is my beeeeeest friend!" There is little doubt in her mind that they could be talking about different people.
<Pose Tracker> Garnet [None] has posed.
Garnet smiles a soft smile at the mention of Fate. She knows her friend well, and at the mention, Garnet's regard for Nanoha does seem to improve, though it was by no means frosty or hostile to begin with.
"Fate is a special girl. Treasure her. She's always welcome here, and if you two are that close, you can be too."
Garnet laughs a little bit to herself in reflection of both her recent day events and night events.
"Superheroes in an ideal world... wouldn't that be nice..."
<Pose Tracker> Steven Universe [Juuban Public School (5)] has posed.
Steven lets out a laugh at the mention of being a super hero. If only she knew what Fate, he, and Garnet do! It isn't very far from the truth! "Well, yeah! But then again, you can be a super hero now! Just do small things. Like keep people from being bullied. Recycle. Help poor defenseless animals! Being a super hero is totally possible, right now!"
It sounded like one of those silly kid inspiration cartoons, but he does have a point.
"Haha yeah, the crab was not a fan. He will get his check in the mail and promptly let go. We will find an enemy with a sunnier disposition in the next movie." Nanoha points out the pink fluffy thing. "Oh! That is Lion. He is lazy. He should be around here somewhere-- HEY LION!"
A pink lump far down the beach coast begins to move. It was easily mistaken for an inflated water toy from this distance. But it is clearly moving. Not by much though. A face clearly emerges, looks over, then lays back down. "See? Laaaaazy."
"I do! I think if it is the same person. She goes to that new school I think! Infinity?" It should be that school. He sees so many from Ohtori and Juuban, that the unusual uniform made her stand out.
"She helped a lot the other day!" Steven adds to Garnet's comment, but doesn't say much else on the subject. "Yeah, you can come over and visit and stuff!"
<Pose Tracker> Nanoha Takamachi [Infinity Institute (4)] has posed.
"That's true! Well, I already do a lot of that." Nanoha nods in agreement to Steven. "Too bad everyone doesn't..." Looking towards the beach, there seems to be an unspoken thought that passes through her mind.
She turns back and grins at Steven, "Oh haha! That'll show him!" Silly crab. "He had his chance and he blew it." Maybe she should ask Steven to put her in a movie. Perhaps another time.
To Garnet, "Thank you! She is the beeeeeest! We help each other a lot!" Nanoha seems to be thrilled that other people know Fate because that means she hasn't been lonely, especially while she was gone.
"L-lion?!" Nanoha is veeeeery confused until Steven calls out. Her eyes get huge again. "W-woah! He's big and fluffy!" It seems like it's taking a lot of her strength not to run over to him. "Uh... is he safe? I mean..." Her thoughts trail off. A familiar perhaps? She has seen crazier ones that is for sure.
"Fate-chan and I go to the same school yes! It is Infinity." Nanoha beams. "That's so cool you guys know each other. We should hang out sometime." Before she can say anything else though her sister walks up. "You ready to go?" To Garnet and Steven, the older girl waves. "Okay onee-san!" Before Nanoha leaves though she mentions to them, "I hope I get to see you two again!"
