failed private video;

[cutiepanther]

[ After explaining to Nico in Nozomi's body that she wants to try to fix things between them, Maki's taking another step in that direction. Except, this video was DEFINITELY just meant for Nico, and not everyone else! ]

Look Nico, I have something to say to you, so can you just watch this without getting mad at me for two seconds?

[ Already Maki is starting off sounding a little haughty, and difficult herself, but that's how she is. ]

W-We're not so different, you know? We both like music and dancing, and we both try pretty hard in what we do. W-What I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for making it sound like I was judging you back at the hot springs. It's obvious you try pretty hard. ...Even if you are pretty shameless when it comes to dancing naked, back at the hot springs.

[ Why is this so hard...Maki's full on red now. ]

I just want us to be... friends. O-Or at least civil with each other! Is that so difficult?

That's all I wanted say. Just don't get the wrong idea here, or anything, okay?!

[ Blushing and awkwardly trying to avoid the subject of just what Maki could be thinking there, she shuts off the video and posts it, forgetting to make sure it only sends to Nico.. ]

But she was still naked!

[Umi can't stand showing more than a little skin. How someone can do that is completely beyond her.]

[cutiepanther]

It was at a hot springs! Most people are naked there!

[ Except Maki of course, because she had a nice swim suit she wanted to wear! ]

[umiiroshoujo]

[Poor Maki is never going to live this down.]

Still, why would anyone be doing that?

[cutiepanther]

[ Umi please don't think of her as some strange pervert!! ]

I-I guess we were both a little fired up, we were fighting the whole time, and I maybe said something about her not being skilled or talented..

[umiiroshoujo]

[It's too late for that!]

So you made her do it?

[Is nothing in this city decent?]

[cutiepanther]

You're just making it sound even worse! I didn't dare her or anything to do it! She did it on her own volition!

[ Umi this is not sex city okay?! ]

[umiiroshoujo]

[What happens in Union stays in Union.]

You basically just admitted that you prompted her to do it. You seem to be at as much fault as she is.

[cutiepanther]

It wasn't weird or anything!

[ Maki just sighs, there's no way to win against this girl. ]

I give up...

[umiiroshoujo]

You say it wasn't weird, yet you're clearly worked up over it.

[No, there is no winning against her.]

[cutiepanther]

I'm worked up because I don't want people like you making it seem like something it wasn't when you weren't there!

[umiiroshoujo]

I'm hoping there was someone more mature there?

[But if they allowed that to happen, that's kind of doubtful.]

[cutiepanther]

I don't know why you think I'm not mature!

...And Eli and Nozomi were there too.

[umiiroshoujo]

You could at least act more mature.

[Umi only freaked out a little!]

So they would back you up if someone were to ask them?

[cutiepanther]

I am acting mature!

[ Oops, again, another flub. She meant to say she IS mature. ]

That's right! You can ask them yourself!

[umiiroshoujo]

Are you?

[Arguing only makes it seem worse, Maki!]

I'll do so, then.
