February 8, 2007

• Thalia Crescent is looking for a job. She's also still looking for her brother, and recovering from time-travel brainbreakage. Ryou's nightmares have thrown off his sleeping schedule completely, so Kocha invents the opposite of Super Caffeine: Super Milk! It doesn't yet work for 53 hours like its stay-awake counterpart, but it does put Ryou to sleep faster than Satou's cries to exorcise the "no-sleep demon". Maron decides that she would like to try tofu again. Shinga Shikari is trying to avoid getting a cold, but still can't stand the winter weather. Thalia mentions something disturbing she found about her mother in this timeline, and asks silent psychic Kunisaki Noriko to keep an eye out for her brother. And why is Eithne Bunansa going on about not hearing something called the Green Wood?

"Evil no-sleep demon fly fly away away!" -Satou

February 7, 2007

• Happy birthday, Charice Gainsborough! She comes to the cafe with all her friends, and Liz bakes her an overly flowery cake. Ryou plays with Forte and lets slip that he's been having bad dreams lately. Shirogane Shuugo reveals that Kyr is allergic to perfume, and Kyr makes another mean crack about Ichi. After badgering from Kiki Reikaira, Ryou reveals that he's been having bad nightmares and losing sleep. The two talk about Ryou's failed plots to get Shou to move in with Liz and Gamu's guilt about making the "frankenplush" the way it is without telling Ichi of the failure, and Ryou snaps that he wants to talk about his dreams with a family member, not her. Gamu retorts that Shou is messed up and just being rude to Ryou because he wasn't with "that other girl" anyway. ("Because his authoress ships RxR.") Ryou thinks about why his father doesn't approve of his girlfriend. They begin to talk about their secrets, highly embarassing Gamu as her hidden sides (and love of small children and escapist fan comics) are revealed. Meanwhile, Thalia wonders where Eithne is going to pick her up, and enlists Liz and Kocha to find the half-Viera.

"Well, like, Uncle Vincent's emo, so er, yeah." -Tallulah

February 6, 2007

• Roy Bancroft and Elizabeth Shirogane attempt to save the garden from the frost. Meanwhile, Charice Gainsborough tries to guilt her brother Eris into attending her birthday party, but it seems like his nemesis/crush Tallulah will be there... she shows up in the cafe and they begin to argue, chase each other around and generally wreck Cafe Mew Mew. Zachary Andrews plots to annoy Ryou again... Kocha and Kiro go off to eat and talk about the benefits of knowing what you want versus going in unprepared to the grocery shop. Besides the food part, Ryou seems to have been thinking the same thing-- otherwise, how did he survive when he didn't get Ichi anything? They go out skating instead. Liz and D-kun go grocery shopping, but the dog gets loose and tries to steal a box of donuts. Sarah Cohen self-consciously asks Roy about her dye job, to which he replies that it's no big deal. Kiki Reikaira breaks up the fight between Eris and Tallulah, but they refuse to apologize to each other. Ryou storms back into the cafe late at night, muttering about "overprotective losers"... don't tell me Shuu's brother is back again.

"Well, first of all, happy Ryou-Ichi day to you~" -Ichigo

February 5, 2007

• Shirogane Ryou is out of it after staying up far too late, and is thinking of horrible gift ideas for his anniversary with Ichi. So out of it, in fact, that he doesn't notice Plum, Kocha and Daisuke stealing his car. Zachary Andrews and Elizabeth Shirogane just shake their heads, and Liz shows Minoru yesterday's pictures. The joyriders go shopping, although the other two show restraint when Plum wants to buy a car or golf cart with Ryou's credit cards. Ichigo drags Ryou out on a walk and interrogates him as to why he said "I'm sorry" and hung up; he eventually tells her, and she draws a heart on his palm, promising that she will never let him disappear. Ari shows up with Miles Alesci, who is looking for Shuugo's brother-- oh, no, what if he's flirting with Retasu again? Gamu gets right on tracking her, but they needn't have worried; the Ryou-alt in question is impersonating Kyr again. Our Ryou sees through the deception and walks off alone, angry and confused. Gamu follows him and tells him that he shouldn't feel alone because a lot of people care about him, and Shou should realize that, too. She displays some wistful envy towards Ichi, which first brainbreaks Ryou, but he quickly gets over it and begins to wonder about everything. THey walk off, teasing each other about who would wipe the floor with whom in a fair fight.

"If I was a bad person, I would have chased down Cerise with a golf club! But I haven't done that~" -Plum

February 4, 2007

• Shirogane Ryou is reading... those weird magazines that say "Bigfoot spotted" and "Celebrity dates giant alien". Weird. Plum wants something fun to do, so Ryou suggests Freeze again. Ryou runs through a few amusing scenarios with Kocha, while Elizabeth Shirogane takes photos to show Shou-- it's not blackmail, as Gamu wondered, but an attempt to connect again. Ryou teases Gamu during a scenario by asking her to marry him, and she plots revenge, not to mention goes to bother him about whatever secret he is keeping now.

"Uh... she said he'll like Ichi -eventually-, which prob'ly means once he's worn out their patience enough that they either break up or elope an' get disowned." -Gamu

February 3, 2007

• Kiki Reikaira and Forte have kept Shirogane Ryou's secret. Attempting to hide said secret from Emo Kitty and Plum, they go into the lab, where Gamu apologizes, causing a fight over who is responsible. Ryou leaves Gamu alone in the lab, and she sends Forte up to talk to him. The mages come into the cafe and Ryou confesses his problem-- and what Gamu truly is, which she's been trying to keep secret from them especially. It is implied that Gamu tried to kill herself in the basement to put the timeline back together, but was barraged by telepathic images and drew the attention of Murahara Sakura. The mages reveal that Ryou is not being written out of the dimension; Takaishi Sora assures him that there is no way that simply the events surrounding the cafe could cause the dimension to go into a state of "erase and repair". It seems then that someone is out to confuse Ryou and make him doubt himself; this someone then, likely, is a mysterious girl who snuck into Gamu's room to steal her sleep darts. Ryou decides to head for home because there is no immediate threat, but changes his mind at the last minute and visits his father's apartment instead, where he engages in a game of "Freeze" with the other visitors. They also explain to him what likely has happened and help him return his arm to normal, though Ryou feels foolish about the whole ordeal, and remains a bit shaken. Ryou returns home to find that Satou, Cherry, Gamu and Forte had been out searching for them. He apologizes for making them, specifically Satou, worry about him. Gamu puts Maron to bed, and Alto and Panziko try again to terrorize her out of her fear of cats. Satou eventually gives up, making her "younger sister" feel bad.

"So we should... bring confetti poppers to oniichan and pop 'em in his face?" -Satou

February 2, 2007

• Kitenshi Kocha, still depressed at the failure of her beach party, asks Eithne Bunansa and Thalia Crescent how to make people happy. Thalia says that being there for people and knowing when to help is all that's needed, and asks if her brother's anywhere to be found. Kocha takes everyone to a bridal shop to try on clothes, although Maron is shy and afraid that people will see her newly-developed bat wing. Ryou is also hiding his arm... it's turned invisible. After a short interrogation, Gamu exposes it, but doesn't tell anyone. Kuroneko Satou returns, wondering why anybody would worry about her. Maron clings to Ryou, Satou and even Gamu, whom she feared-- she just doesn't want to be alone. Satou, through a series of misunderstandings, is led to think that Ryou wants to take over the world. Gamu corners Ryou, who tells her that the split that created Kokoro Draft has probably damaged the time stream enough that Kokoro is trying to repair itself by doing away with him. He wonders if even the Mew Project was a waste of time. She snaps that he's made a positive difference in many lives, even though she had hated what he'd done, and that if the split kills anyone, it should be her...

"Hey, that's gorgeous glorious benefactor to you." -Ryou

• February 1, 2007

Eithne Bunansa, who isn't used to the cold, and Akasaka Junri, who wonders if her new ear piercing is infected, enter a lifeless Cafe Mew Mew. The boredom is interrupted by Kitenshi Kocha and her new idea: to transform the cafe into a pseudo-beach and party like it's July! Despite her attempts to engage the cafe in fun, the few people that are there are either disapproving or, in Maron's case, petrified. Kocha tries to repair relations with the shy little girl by taking her to the bookstore. Meanwhile, Kiki Reikaira feels bad for her alternate future kid and plays with the volleyball game that she had set up, but it gets nowhere. Junri asks if it's okay to hate somebody for a comment about their parentage, which Gamu strongly approves. Could that somebody be Shirogane Anzu...? Kocha returns and is depressed that no one had any fun or participated in the activities at the party.
