(For Naito, this takes place after "Closer to Nature (Than she ever expected)" in Deep Jungle.)

Entrance to Pleasure Island Circus

This wasn't the first time they had been here.

Of course, that statement could easily apply to he and his girlfriends, but also to he and his other self. Naito Zivaku stretched, hands behind his back as he did so, then hands above his head, fingers interlocked.

The travels had been fun, the work a bit hard, but he had missed just being around, just journeying at random without any care. That, and he hadn't really come across many people of late, since that mute person some time ago.

The Moon Tribesman didn't really have a good way to contact people, most of his equipment having been consumed by that rampant nanotechnological entity he had been working on before it escaped. Well, that he and Kara had been... but he was willing to take responsibility for the programming.

Right now, he just wanted to relax, maybe train a bit before he went on his way. He just wished he could call on anyone to do so.

(Takes place after the same thread as Naito for Kara)

Kara stretched her arms, done with the errands she wanted to do after meeting Naito again. The two had arranged to meet here, at her insistence to talk and catch up. Something they didn't have the time to do in Deep Jungle. The engineer also simply wanted to relax, the whole nanotech scenario having had her on edge. She guesses that Naito could be feeling responsible, but in her personal opinion, it was her own screw up, not his.

She knew she should've been more careful when creating experimental tech. But Kara felt she got too cocky and figured with Naito there, nothing would go wrong. But it did and the nanotech disappeared, along with annihilating both of their equipment in the process. That's why the engineer felt she had to find it, and if necessary, destroy it before it could cause a disaster. She rolled her eyes at her own melodramatic thoughts but felt it described how she felt about the situation.

But Kara shook herself out of her thoughts as she found her boyfriend and smiled at him. "Hey Nai. Thanks for meeting me here." She went to greet him with a hug.

Naito smiled as he saw his girlfriend, hugging her back and giving a kiss. "So, I've set up a program to try to fix up the ship, while we're away." He waved off worries with another sentence, however. "It's only using existing materials, and is deliberately non-sapient. Don't worry, uh..." This part still embarrassed him a bit. "Mikaboshi made sure once I set up the main program that it only went like that."

That said, he let go of her. "So, what would you like to do here? Any new things you wanted to work on? We could also find some sectioned off area to train."

"Cool. You'll have to show it to me later." Kara replied, also kissing back. Still, she waved off the mention of Mikaboshi., since both Naito and Jasmine knew how intense it could get between her and Nai's other personality. An intensity she'd rather keep private from anyone else. "What I'd like to do is relax. ...to be honest, I've been stressed out in my search for the missing tech from that day. I can't help but feel worried what it'll do without supervision or worse. If it goes out of control."

The engineer led Naito to a nearby bench and sat down. "I know I'm confident most of the time, but this time.... I'm completely worried, Nai. These past months of searching and I found no clue to it. I'm actually having trouble sleeping as a result. The reason I don't look like it is because I forcefully knocked myself out with sleeping pills so I don't suffer insomnia. For once, this new body of mine is being good for something by making me more resistant to abuse...."

Kara shook her head. "Sorry. Didn't mean to bitch about my worries suddenly like that."

Naito sighed, sitting next to Kara and rubbing her shoulders. "It's okay, I understand. If anyone can understand complaining about their problems, it's probably me." He did think back a bit, however. "We did put in the replication limitation code, so it can't hurt too much, though."

That said, he kept rubbing her shoulders, massaging. "How about we talk about something else? Or do something around here? It's a carnival, after all. We had fun last time. Or we can do some training, sparring."

"Sure, we can talk about something else. Like what's happening with Jazz? I haven't seen her in a while." Kara replied, letting her boyfriend massage her. "To be honest, I did forget about that code. But remind me, did we ever test it out or not?" She shook her head. "Right, sorry. I did agree we should talk about something different."

The engineer then got up, moving away from Naito to face him. "Say, we should see if they have something like a ferris wheel. You know, so we can have some better privacy. If not, we can check what else is there." Kara took Naito's hand and led him along ahead. "For once, let's just play. I know training and sparring's good. But I wanna relax and hang out. Just get this stress and worry out."

Naito nodded. "I made sure, don't worry. It's the first thing I did. To prevent a grey goo scenario, I had to make sure it worked before we turned the first tests on." He let it hang there. "Well, about Jazz... I saw her a little while ago, though... he was driving. She's doing fine."

The Moon Tribesman stood up with her, nodding as they headed toward the carnival itself. "That sounds fun. It's good to calm down a bit. You seen anyone lately? My brothers, anyone else?"

"That's good to know. I was getting a bit worried about her, since I hadn't seen her in a while." Kara replied as she entered the carnival along with Naito. She looked around at the entertainment and the people that were here today. This was just what she was hoping. Just one bit of normalcy, even if for just a moment. The engineer soon found what they were looking for and managed to climb into a booth of the ferris wheel with Naito.

"I really wanted this date with either you or Jazz or all of us together. It's great to relax and enjoy ourselves, isn't it?" Kara commented, having sat down besides Naito. "Just a reminder that it isn't always work or having our lives on the line, you know?" She rested her head on his right shoulder. "No, I didn't see either of your brothers. Have you heard from them yourself?"

Naito shook his head. "Haven't seen either of them lately. Isaac was off doing... whatever he does with that kresnik partner of his and the Mason woman, and Greg... well, he's Greg. He probably is deep into his work again after those two went off to travel somewhere. Only thing I do know is that I've heard he's been looking into dwarven magical tactics to enhance his blacksmith work, especially from Nidavellir."

The young man stroked his girlfriend's hair as she leaned on him. "I figure you don't want to talk about any projects while we do this. Any new discoveries on the magic front for you, though?"

"Wait, dwarven artifacts?" Kara asked. "Only dwarves I know about are from that series, Lord of the Rings. And those tabletop games and other games. It's probably different from what I'm imagining though." The engineer sighed, enjoying this moment with Naito. She moved her left hand to grab his left hand, knowing her boyfriend's right hand was stroking her hair.

"Discoveries? Oh, I learned how to infuse the area around me with magical energy." Kara explained. "It shaves off half of my own magic, but any magic I can cast before it wears off is significantly stronger. How about you? Any new magic discoveries on your front?"

"The dwarves of Nidavellir. Not their artifacts, but their tactics. Using some impossible materials to make hyper-enchanted items... hard to explain for him, so I won't even try."

The Moon Tribesman took a deep breath, summoning up a small aura of a kind of "dark light" on one hand, and a purer moonlight on the other. "I'm still working at it. I developed a stronger shielding and healing spell, and Mikaboshi is learning his own way of doing things with his own form of defensive measures, something about portals he hasn't been wanting to actually explain, but we haven't been able to cross between the two again. Not yet, anyway."

He gave a smile, though. "Good to hear that about yours, though. It's pretty interesting that you could do that."

"Not as interesting as what you can do." Kara commented, retaking Naito's hand after his demonstration. "Still, I'm a bit worried about the portal thing Mika's doing. But at least you can defend yourself and heal better. Still definitely good that we're all improving. I think it's the same to Jazz as well." The engineer repositioned herself, but this time, simply hugging Naito.

"I think the ride's ending soon." Kara commented as the ferris wheel was finishing the rotation. She looked up at her boyfriend and got up. "Let's go get something to eat. Then after that, how about some small training, just to show each other how our magic has grown since then. We can eat something light before we do the training. Then a heavy meal, just the two of us. Does that sound good to you?"

Naito hugged her back, stroking her hair on the way around. "He knows what he's doing... or claims he does. Hard to tell the difference, sometimes."

Times like this, the quiet times, were nice. He admitted, he did like work, but having some time to themselves was also good. He did wish Jasmine were around, but knew she could handle herself, wherever she was.

The young man helped her off of the ride as it came down. "That sounds like a good idea. Where do you want to eat first?"

"Remember, something light." Kara replied as the ferris wheel stopped and she got out first. She grabbed Naito's hand after he got out of the ride and lead him ahead to the food stands. Looking around, she could see several such treats being shown cooked or already prepared in full view. Eventually, the engineer stopped at one and purchased two meat skewers, giving one to her boyfriend and then leading him to a more private area to eat.


"We can do some small training here to show off our magic to each other after we finish the skewers." Kara replied, as she sat down and started eating. She left enough space for Naito to sit besides her.

Naito nodded, sitting next to her. He ate quietly, rubbing her shoulders with one hand as he ate off of the skewer with the other. Normally he would have said something about not liking eating meat too much, but he figured that it would be best not to do so.

If she wanted to discuss anything, that was on her. He knew better than to talk too much, especially considering he was eating. Plus, he didn't know if Mikaboshi would want to butt in on this situation. It seemed the type.
