Caine leaned up against the shuttle for a bit noticing Kiyoko trying to get the others up and out of the shuttle. he snickered and went over to help her out. "Come on guys do as the lady says." Caine said and pulled back thinking. "You know, I know this great little pastry cafe within walking distance." he said. "like a breakfast cafe but they serve up the best lunches you can have." Caine said. "at least I think so."
 
Datenshi watched as the ship landed and quickly put her guitar back in it's case. With a sigh, she hoped up and smoothed out her uniform which she had oddly worn. She just felt it was more appropriate to greet her new crew this way.

As she let them land she hoped out of the jeep and walked over to where they were, waiting for a moment to introduce herself to them.

Just play it cool, no need to get all jittery...and don't shout this time! The neko gave herself a pep talk in her head.
 
"Yeah, yeah," Jatsu groaned, walking out of the shuttle with the still half-asleep Aoiko and a lot of luggage in tow. "I'm hungry, too, but I have to drop Aoi off at a hotel." He scanned the area until he found one, then said, "Alright, I'll be back in a couple minutes."

He brought Aoiko to the hotel and got a room. 300 KS per night, huh? Good thing I just got a promotion, he thought. He took the elevator up to his floor, opened the door to his room, set down all their luggage against the wall, and helped Aoiko to the bed. He gently kissed her, then said, "I'll be in the city. Call me when you wake up." She simply nodded and fell back asleep. He retied his hair, then headed back to the shuttle.
 
"HEY hey, yeesh, gimme a minute. Ya'll are in an awful rush. It takes tender loving care to repack all of my babies here after they've been out," Roger said entirely too enthusiastically as he rapidly replaced the flasks and bottles he had withdrawn. "Besides," he said, making a show of hefting his luggage, the majority of which made a suspicious sloshing noise, "from the sounds of it, ya'll are having a dickens of a time trying to figure out where to go. If it's up to me, I say the place with the best sandwiches." He looked at them cock-eyed and again rose his finger to make his point. "That's probably why it's never up to me." He sauntered over to Kiyoko and Caine and clapped a hand heartily upon the both of their shoulders. "So what is the plan, soon to be important peoples in charge?" he said with a silly grin.
 
Kiyoko giggled at Roger's grin, he looked so funny. She responded "Kard-san...I'll let Caine decide that, afterall he knows the city.â€
 
Caine gave him a serious look like he was in a world of trouble, then broke into a grin. "You're sucha goon man, and yeah I figure we should get something for lunch first." he said, and looked over at Datenshi and gave her a polite nod. Jatsu's sudden leaving caught his eye but when he caught sight of the sleeping Aoiko he figured it out and smiled. "Well well Kiyoko looks like we've got romance blooming already around here" Caine chuckled before looking at the ground and shook it off in a moment.

"So are we ready to go people?" he asked, taking a couple steps to face them all. "Or are we gonna cook out here on this landing pad" he asked. "This place I know iw easily within walking distance of here or we can get a ride, I personally feel that we all could use the exercise after being cooped up for so long." He said. Caine looked at Kiyoko almost for approval, this being his first real attempt at leadership with a group of people even though it was on a small scale.
 
As the group made the trek across the tarmac, Creighton made a small adjustment and walk directly to the man and the woman by the black sedan. The man up close was apparently an IDSOL, ripped and well toned. The woman was a younger looking Yamataian.

The IDSOL shifted from leaning against the car to standing up straight. "Well, if it isn't the young master now. How yah been boy, what's it been a year? Two years?"

Creighton glanced from side to side before hissing. "Keep it down. I don't want to make a scene."

"Your father and uncle caught wind that you were coming home." The woman stepped forward smiling at the young man. "They hope they'll get to some spend time with you."
 
"Goon nothin'! More like DRAgoon!" Roger said, still somewhat clamped onto Caine. He was silent for a moment, bringing a hand up to cup his chin as he thought, then continued. "All right, that sounded a lot funnier in my head. Hrm. Well, I say we head out, and HI PRETTY LADY!" he suddenly exclaimed, noticing Datenshi and now actively waving at her. "ARE YOU GOING TO BE EATING WITH US?"

Roger noticed that Caine was looking at Aoiko being carried off by Jatsu. "Pssh, blooming my ass." he mumbled, a flask having magically reappeared in his hand, and, more importantly, in his mouth. "They've been at since... jeez, I forget. Even right through her being our commanding officer." He chortled, flipping the lid closed with a practiced motion. "It makes me wonder who gives the orders in bed!"
 
Datenshi snapped a clean salute. When she was in this uniform she was all buisness, she wouldn't disgrace or tarnish the army's look in the least bit.

"Hai, Akamaru Datenshi reporting for duty ma'am. I am able to drive if the other car can not fit everyone."

When she was called to and waved at, she blinked and let a grin spill over her face, giving a little look into her other side.

"Yea sure if your paying for me cutie."

Hey, she had a amp to pay for...
 
"PAY FOR YOU? HAH. I NEED AS MUCH DOUGH AS I CAN GET TO SUPPORT MY ALCOHOL HABIT, A FACT WHICH I PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE EXPOUNDING UPON IN FRONT OF A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WILL EITHER BE MY SUPERIOR OFFICERS, OR WILL OTHERWISE BE COUNTING ON ME NOT TO ACCIDENTLY BLOW UP THE ENGINES." Roger coughed slightly, and looked about nerveously as his words caught up to him. "Besides, I know you're up to something," he said, again squinting out of one eye in suspicion. "You called me cutie. My mom never even called me that."

He then sauntered over to her and, sidling beside her, repeated his earlier hearty hand clap, now upon her shoulder. "So, with that in mind, what can I get for ya?"
 
Datenshi barely moved when she was patted, a grin on her face as she seemed to think about it carefully. She really wanted pork ramen from a little shop she had found, but it was fun to toy with him.

"Hm...There is this place in the resturaunt district, nice old Nepleslian cooking called 'Mom's Country Kitchen.' That place would be nice though you need a reservation...Hm then there is that place, what was the name? Oh yea! 'Swan's Lake'! But you need a suit and tie for there..."

The red head neko turned to look over at Roger and looked him up and down for a moment, before she let out a despondant sigh.

"I guess the ramen shop right next to the pillow store will have to do..."
 
Kiyoko smiled slightly "Ma'am checked out on the Akuro, this is vacation. But, thank you nonethelessâ€
 
Roger winced at the mention of SANDRA. "Bloody gnats with cameras, are what they are. I'll give 'em an interview right here," he said, flipping off an imaginary cameraman. "But little 'yoshi's right; we should get out of these freaking skin tight-ass uniforms and into something with a little flow," he said, demonstrating said flow, whatever in the world it was, with a hand coasting through the air. "Hell, I even brought a couple pairs of Nep native wear, for later. Got any ideas where we can change, Kikiyo? Dropping trou' right here, while disturbingly fitting for this organization, just ain't right."

He turned back to Datenshi, somewhat supporting himself on her shoulder as he snorted. "If it was real Nep style cooking, I've got all the reservation I need in my bank account. 'sides, I'll have that in a few days one way or another. And don't even get me started on that suit and tie bullshit. What, I gotta freakin' wear another uniform if I want to eat nice? Ramen's the way to go, lady. Hell, I ain't even eaten any and I know this." He took another swig of the flask. "And what the frick? A pillow store? What the frick do you do with a store full of pillows?"
 
"You can change in the jeep if you can manage it."

Datenshi laughed a little as she slipped a arm around him and placed her hand on his waist. Since they were off duty, she could have some fun.

"A store full of pillows across from a ramen shop is the best. Fill yourself up at the ramen shop, then go across the street and lay down...or maybe work off some of that meal with some...fun?"

With the last little bit of her comment, she whispered it into Roger's ear with a mischevious grin, before she danced away from him and twoards her duffle bag which looked a lot like a mail carrier bag.
 
Caine blinked listening to the conversation and quirked a brow at Kard's loud outburst and sighed some chalking it up to his drunkeness. He walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder clapping it down and said quietly to him over his shoulder. "I certanly hope you don't plan on working drunk." he smirked, this by no way a threat just a veiled reminder to enjoy it while it lasts.

Lightening up Caine grinned. "I've never had Nepleslian cooking, I say we try it out at least. With a name like that I'm sure it's good: mom's always have the best homecooking, I think I've seen that place too." he said and walked over to Kiyoko. Offering her his arm he chuckled. "Well then shall we mi'lady?" he smiled at her giving her a wink.
 
Camellia just sighed in irritated annoyance at Roger. Walking over behind both him, and the new crewmate, she grabbed his ear and started to pull him away from her. "Down booze hound." She said calmly, while walking him away from Daitenchi, backwards. "No need to tarnish you're reputation with the new blood so soon." She said as she released his ear. "Not even an hour in, and your stinking drunk. Not much of a heavyweight for a Nep, are you?"
 
Datenshi puffed her cheeks out, obviously a little miffed that she had been robbed of her plaything. After a moment she just shrugged and pulled out a outfit, before she slipped back into the jeep.

A few minutes later she emerged from the jeep dressed in the civilian clothing. A nice pair of form fitting jeans with a nice black shirt that wasn't tight, yet wasn't to baggy either. As she shuffled around, she pulled out her long ponytail and let it fall to the ground.

"So where to then?" She looked around at those still with her.
 
Kiyoko took Caine's arm "Let's get out of here, before the logistics crew comes and mistakes us for cargo. We can change in the base...â€
 
Roger smiled. "You need not worry, Herr Commandant. Rest assured I do not plan on drunking work. And let me tell you something about Nep mom cooki-OW!" he exclaimed, being painfully dragged away. "What the HELL was that for? Tarnish a reputation? WHAT reputation? And I mean, come on, look at me; do I look like a heavyweight?" Roger spouted, rolling up a sleeve to point out a distinct lack of definition on his biceps. "I'm a freaking engineer! Though admittedly, on occasion that can actually indicate even greater acheivements in the intoxication arts," he added, as they entered into the hangar. "I'll have to research this more-WHOAH, NAKED NEKO... wait, naked commander... oh. Ah, screw it then." He quickly looked about, reached into his backpack for his clothes, and rapidly disrobed.

"Make fun of my plasma torch boxers and die."

He threw on his normal outfit of faded jeans and a slightly damaged white t-shirt, with a set of sneakers that looked in dire need of replacement. "Well... that was liberating, but still seriously weird."
 
Datenshi followed after the others as they went to change, and was glad she did. Enjoying her eyeful of the crew after just meeting them, she laughed at Roger's comment.

"Hey, I think they're cute."

With a small grin, she couldn't help but think to herself, I think I'm going to like it here...
