[A little earlier this morning a tense and fidgety Pyxis was dragged over and relegated to pillow duty for a certain set of sharks. A little unusual, but not the most unexpected thing to have ever happened. Nova's approval, on the other hand . . . That's definitely something strange.

As the the various members of the apartment finish with their breakfasts (and mid-morning naps) he straightens up with an eager, overconfident grin.]

Hey, what do you guys think of making a country of our own?

[glancing over once she's in]

Need something?

[fishpanties]

I wanted to talk to Lucky-san, since I'm helping her with her police force.

[hydralize]

. . . Are you sure you're really prepared for that?

[fishpanties]

All I can do is my best.

[hydralize]

You've got no idea . . .

[fishpanties]

I've got some. I know what people can be like, and Lucky-san is… Lucky-san. But even she can't do this alone, or with just one or two other people.

… But I'll listen, if you can tell me more.

[hydralize]

If you're going to disagree with her, you have to be prepared to fight for it. And make it sound like it's for her benefit. That's the only way to get her to begin to listen.

[fishpanties]

[LISTENS.]

Mm, I knew the first thing already, but... the second'll come in handy.

[hydralize]

It's the most important part. She'll just kick you out if you don't make it sound good for her.

[fishpanties]

[Nodnodnod.]

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks, Scowl-san.

[hydralize]

It's Nova now.

[fishpanties]

Nova-san...

It suits you.

[hydralize]

You think?

[fishpanties]

[Nods!]

'Nova' has to do with stars and brightness, right?

[hydralize]

Yeah . . .

[fishpanties]

I've always thought you seemed really bright, even from a distance.

[hydralize]

[c-confused]

You did?

[fishpanties]

Yeah.

[hydralize]

. . . Why?

[fishpanties]

…

[Do I really have to explain GOSH OKAY]

Hydra was always doing something. Pushing forward, making things happen, fighting for what they believed in. I didn't have time to get to know any of you… but… It stood out! I'm not saying that nobody else did anything, because they—we—did, and I'm not saying you guys were the perfect example, because that's impossible.

But, to me… It was easy to see how passionate you are, and that it wasn't just 'empty' feeling just for the sake of it.

[hydralize]

Ah . . . I'm glad someone else noticed it.

[fishpanties]

[Just... nods.]

[t-tsun 8|;;]

[hydralize]

. . . What?

[fishpanties]

N-Nothing.

[tsun '-']

[hydralize]

Then what's with the stutter?
