Just Gotta Have Fun...! [Open]

Beyond what was going on, things seemed a bit tame for Sasami. Though she had been falling into the habit of helping Nathan with his work and practicing her newfound magic via Negi's Pactio, she missed some of the better things of being a kid, like actually having some sort of fun.

It was probably why she made her way to the Sensoriums and just let something random form up. Suddenly, it felt like home - trees, trees and more trees formed within the now-virtual forest. True, she could have gone to Hydroponics for this, but she didn't want to disturb anything special there. A big smile formed on her face as she ran up to one tree and started trying to climb it. She wanted to see what was at the top of it all...

Somehow, Alessa was always able to find Sasami, even with all of the different people on the ship. There was the fact that she was an alien, but there was also her new found pact with that magic boy Negi that had made her even more extraordinary. That interested her only because now Sasami was inadvertently tied to that vampire Evangeline. Alessa could only wonder what would come of that, especially concerning Sasami's last encounter with Evangeline.

Walking into the Sensorium, she saw that Sasami was climbing a tree. A moment later, Sasami would see her demon friend atop the highest branch, looking down on her.

"Having fun?"

"Oh...!" Sasami yelped out, noticing Alessa before her. She REALLY didn't expect anyone to show up, let alone someone like Alessa. However, she didn't mind the company that appeared.

"Hee, yes, I am...!" she said. "I got a little bored and decided if I could do this..."

"It seems...intriguing," Alessa said, "that you would choose this as a form of recreation. Some people might say this to be something beneath your age, that the day of climbing trees is for the carefree younger child."

Not that Alessa believed that. In her experience, people who said things like that usually engaged in actions of an entirely bizarre fashion. In all honesty, she was actually just curious at Sasami's answer.

"How are you today, Sasami. How is Negi treating you?"

"Well, it doesn't hurt to act a bit younger...!" Sasami said, chuckling. "And I'm doing fine. Don't worry, Negi's treating me just fine!"

"I suppose not," Alessa said, who supposed that being perched on the top branch of a tree was hardly any more mature than climbing one. In any case., it was good to see her friend again.

"Good. He would be severely punished if the opposite were true. And how are you fairing, concerning your new magical training?"

Sasami let out an annoyed noise at Alessa wanting to punish Negi if he hurt her. "Alessaaaa...! He's not that bad, you don't have to worry about him! And you need to stop that - not too many people are going to like that...!"

She let out a sigh and answered her question. "As for my training, it's going alright, so far...!"

Alessa shrugged. "I don't care what other people like. If every time I meet someone I have to worry about offending them, its not worth the effort. By my nature they will already be afraid of me, so pretending otherwise is illogical. But if you are that positive about the magical boy, I'll listen to you. Eva likely sees SOMETHING in him, otherwise she wouldn't be training him."

Alessa nodded. "How good is 'so far?'"

Ashley Williams didn't get bored easily of very often. So after getting her normal patroling of the ship done, Ashley had decided to check out the Sensoriums which she didn't do too often. In thinking of it, it reminded her of the training center at Pinnacle Station. Spying Sasami atop the trees, her big sister-esque side began to appear. She kinda liked the kid, herself.

"Hey wait! What are you doing up there?"

"Huh?" Sasami yelped, hearing Ashley's voice. Looking over, she waved at the older woman. "Don't worry, I'm okay! Just having a bit of fun!"

Though she doubted Sasami could actually see her small smile at her own overreacting, she gave her one anyway. She figured all the kids onboard needed to have a little fun. Let them be kids for atlest a little while. "Well be careful. I don't want to have to explain to the medical team, what might happen. So I'll just be standing watch."

Ed had been keeping his head down for a while, barely surfacing from his studies only for the sake of eating. And even then, he seemed tired, but satisfied.

Walking into the sensoriums he noticed the kidlet clambering up into the tree-tops and grinned. Selecting a tree of his own, he began to climb expertly, scrambling up after her until he was hanging from a branch, a secure grip on the trunk. "Having fun?" he asked, hanging upside down.

"Woah...!" Sasami yelped, noticing Ed suddenly appear. That certainly caught her off-guard. Grinning sheepishly, she let out a chuckle. "Y-Yes, I am... when did you show up?" She was so focused on her climb, she honestly didn't see Ed show up!

Ed laughed and he indicated the floor. "I just saw you clambering up so I came up on the other tree. Don't loose your grip now." He added teasingly as he swung upright and straddled the sturdy looking branch.

"Don't worry... I'll be okay...!" Sasami said, continuing her climb, grabbing onto a branch and letting out a sigh. "Whew... it's tough, but it's worth it."

"Yeah. It's a nice view though," said Ed as he pointed to the treetop canopy. "From here, you could see everything you need to. And then some."

He grinned and leaned against the trunk. "So, just come to enjoy yourself?"

"Yeah, pretty much. Just wanted to get away from it all for the time being." Sasami said, shrugging. "I would have done this in Hydroponics, but I was worried I'd do something and damage a tree."

"True enough," said Ed, leaning against the tree and putting up his feet on a bough. "Here, it's a little safer too."

"I've been studying mostly," said Ed. "I want to make sure everything's perfect before I start teaching people."

"Perfect? I know you want to be prepared and all, but don't you think perfect's a bit too much?" Sasami asked.

Of course, something like alchemy is a little over her head.

"Alchemy's a precise science," replied Ed, swinging to another branch and perching atop that one. "If you mess up, you might wind up creating something not right. It's like all sciences, just a little more... well, energetic and specific."

"Oh...! I never realized that!" Sasami said. "I guess I'm so used to magic and the like..."

That was true - she was just used to the magic that she had been introduced to. Science and the like just went over her head.

She stood up on the branch, though panicked a bit as she did, her balance a bit wobbly.

"Well if you look at it from a scientific point of view, magic's got it's own laws. Laws that, well, put scientists into states of disbelief but there's laws."

Ed shrugged. "The most I got out of it was "magic must defeat magic" or something like that. Sounds like sound advice."

"That is true when you think about it." Sasami said. "Though 'Magic must defeat magic'? I dunno about that - build something right and science could beat magic." She shrugged herself. "Then again, Miss Washu was always big on science, so she'd know these things more...!"

Ed laughed at that as he watched Sasami wobble to her feet. "Well, I'm sure there's a REASON for it, but something like that makes more sense than "magically inclined people must wear purple on Thursday" or something like that."

Sasami laughed at Ed's example as she finally got her balance... then preferred to cling to the tree for the time being.

"Yeah, that would make more sense, huh?" she said. After a bit, she looked at Ed, a sheepish grin on her face. "Uh... help?"

Ed laughed lightly and held out his hand for her to take so he could swing her over to the stronger branch he sat on.
