Pocket Full Of Desu (Open)

Rein was feeling a little down and cramped. So what she liked to do other than eat during times of stress was to play music.

Heading to the sensoriums, she pulled up a garage band as she picked up a guitar and strummed it after sizing up. It was a good sound and she strummed it experimentally.

"Mmm, seems good to me," remarked Rein as the other instruments started to pick up a little and she strummed it, summoning a microphone.

And here she started to play, just belting out lyrics. There was little she didn't know about and her musical talent was good enough that she didn't sound terrible playing the song.

Kimi ga inai to nani mo dekinai yo
Kimi no gohan ga tabetai yo
Moshi kimi ga kaette kitara
Tobikkiri no egao de dakitsuku yo

Kimi ga inai to ayamarenai yo
Kimi no koe ga kikitai yo
Kimi no egao ga mirereba sore dake de ii n da yo

Kimi ga soba ni iru dake de itsumo yuuki moratteta
Itsumade demo issho ni itai
Kono kimochi wo tsutaetai yo

Hare no hi ni mo ame no hi mo
Kimi wa soba ni ite kureta
Me wo tojireba kimi no egao kagayaiteru

Kimi ga inai to nani mo wakaranai yo
Satou to shouyu wa doko dakke?
Moshi kimi ga kaette kitara
Bikkuri saseyou to omotta no ni na

Kimi ni tsuitsui amaechau yo
Kimi ga yasashisugiru kara
Kimi ni moratte bakari de nani mo ageraretenai yo

Kimi ga soba ni iru koto wo atarimae ni omotteta
Konna hibi ga zutto zutto
Tsudzuku n da to omotteta yo

Gomen ima wa kidzuita yo
Atarimae ja nai koto ni

Mazu wa kimi ni tsutaenakucha

Arittake no “arigatou”
Uta ni nosete todoketai
Kono kimochi wa zutto zutto wasurenai yo

Omoi yo Todoke

"Ah! It's a song about how I enjoy being with my Meister all the time," said Rein with a giggle as she rested the guitar on her hip. "And how I like to eat her cooking and everything else."

Seriously, it was like they were gathering people who wanted to get killed. Still, Hit Girl swallowed her biting remarks for the moment, and said in a relatively composed voice, "And what's a Meister?'

"My mother, sister, creator," replied Rein as she patted the guitar. "Meister Hayate and I are a powerful combo. I don't look it, but I'm crazy good."

And she mock-flexed with a giggle.

"Riiight," Hit Girl said. Christ, this sounded like a crazy anime. Good thing she only liked Sailor Moon for a little while. "I'd have to see that, little girl with a guitar."

"You're no taller than I am," replied Rein with a roll of her eyes. "I'm just short for my age."

Hit girl shrugged. "How old are you then?"

"If you count my previous incarnation who is onboard, at least a thousand fifteen," replied Rein. "I've been only active for about eight to ten since my rebirth," mused Rein, tapping her chin as she removed the guitar.

"I'm the Ships Internal Comms and the On-Board Clothier so I've got my ear to the ground so to speak," added Rein. "So it's not like I'm just a kid playing music."

Well that shut her up. This chick was no joke: in fact, most likely, she wasn't a "chick" at all, she was a device taht she just insulted.

"My bad," she mumbled, hating apologizing for anything. "So what are you doing, in the Sensoriums playing a guitar?"

"Hey no prob," replied Rein. "And as for the guitar, well, I need music really. Sometimes when it gets worse, you want to sit back and play something. Sing really if you can."

She patted the Gibson fondly. "I don't get to play much but when I do, I rock out hard. Maybe I should figure out some kind of soundtrack to my life."

"When it gets worse then what?" Hit Girl wanted to know. "I'm still new here, getting the ropes or whatever you call it."

She grinned. "Rock out hard? What can you play?"

"Just worse mostly," replied Rein. "Believe it or not, we've had quite a few bad things happen to us before the recent pod release. Sometimes we gotta relax a little."

At this, Rein grinned. "I listen to a lot of music like Rock Opera, Heavy Metal, a lot of it. Whatcha got in mind?"

"Wish I could relax," Hit girl said, since, with the exception of that Halloween party. she had been doing nothing but scouring the ship and randomly sleeping and eating. Relaxing would come when she felt less apprehensive about being on a living ship.

She shook her head, still a little stunned by how strange everything was, but knew exactly what she wanted to hear. She actually did like Led Zeppelin, as she told Dean, but she'd lied about her favorite song. She wanted to hear it right now though.

"If you know Zep," she said, "'No Quarter.'"

"Yeah I know it," replied Rein as she went over to the keyboard and punched in a couple of keys to start the slow intro to it. Music began to play as she waited for the guitar cue (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgHSk91RhL8) and she was tapping her foot in time with the beat.

There had been a reason for not telling Dean that she liked that song of course: anyone who knew what Hit Girl was about might figure out she and Mindy were one in the same. Still, this girl (device?) didn't know anything about her, which meant she was safe.

"Close the doors, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold..."

She swayed a little, imagining the subjects of the song.

It was very melancholy despite the hard lyrics of the song, and Rein played along, content to allow Mindy to sing to her heart's content. Sometimes it was just enough that they needed time to let everything out.

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you

And that just reminded her of herself, being here in this place after she was sure she was going to have to give up the life as of Hit Girl. There goes earth and everything in it. Just another crappy tragedy for her stacking up. She shook her head, sighing.

A hard life, Rein could tell from the way she sang that it had been rough for Mindy. At the least however, the best she could do right now is continue to play and hum along with her, joining her voice with the young warrior.

When she was done, she looked over at the girl and actually felt a little bad that she had immediately underestimated her. She seemed like good people, a little on the sweet side like Sasami but still dead useful.

"I don't think I got your name," Hit Girl said after awhile. "What is it?"

"I'm Rein. Reinforce Zwei, but I just usually go by Rein," said Rein with a smile. "And you?"

"Weird name," Hit girl replied, then realized her name was hardly less weird. "I'm Hit Girl."

"Nice to meet you, and yeah it is a little bit of a weird name." admitted Rein. "But then again I'm not really human anyhow so it works in the end."

"Not human?" Now she was curious. "You said you were a device. Like, what does that mean?"

"I'm a magical construct that organizes spells and utilizes them for combat and control," said Rein. "In the most simplest text. We use higher math to control the energy output and there's a whole lot of programming involved. But for the most part? Real girl, or as real as I can get."

She pouted as she patted her chest. "I wish I looked a LITTLE more like my sister though."

"Sounds useful," Hit Girl said, still not really understanding how a little girl (thing?) was able to do all of that. She wish she could understand how anyone was able to even do all of that to begin with. She'd have to ask around.

Hit Girl rolled her eyes. "You don't have to tell me, though honestly, it'd get in the way of what I'd do."

"That's true," admitted Rein with a little giggle as she rested her hands behind her head and leaned against the wall. "At least I like myself for who I am."
