"Miss Rami, are you even listening?"

"It's bo-ring- where I need this information anyway, Pocky?"

"It's Sayo-chan. And you will be very regretful for not listening this little piece of advice! I'm telling this just for your convenience and safety. Please, don't get me started on those details about your experience with those ghosts back then."

Once more time Sayo was having a very hard time for trying to train her apprentice- in this case a very lazy, blunt girl, who seemed to have more interest on a fragrant smell of fried fish coming from a nearby campfire.
The miko frowned a bit for her, but guessed now if Rami was just being hungry due the all working today.
The one responsible for delicious-looking food was the nineteen year old girl, circling the fillets of rainbow cod wrapped around on seaweed. For a moment she glanced her seafood, before turning at the Sayo and Rami.

"I'm sure Rami should deserve her rest for now: you don't need to lecture her with anything. Take it easy!" said this girl, called Umihara. Suprisedly she saw how Sayo almost pouted back at her, quickly clarifying what was she talking about.
"It's just that Rami is standing right at front of the fire! It's no wonder her eyes hurt so much- the smoke isn't good for the eyes, you know. Oh no, there she is again..."

Umihara suddenly noticed how the fourteen year old had just appeared near her quite quickly. So did Rami's pet dragon Spot, who drooled over these wonderful-looking cod fillets. They were burning on the ember, while covered with aluminium foil: eagerly they couldn't wait to get their hands on these. While Sayo was still frowning little skeptically at them, Umihara was in fact, very touched.
"I can't help but feel just so happy that someone appreciate my food... Usually none don't even touch them with a stick," she thought, trying to hide her gushering waterfall of tears. Quickly she did that- her friends were enough aware of her being very sensitive.

Near these people was a black armadillo lying on the forest ground. He was peacefully gazing at the night sky, relaxing as he observed the others.

"Just be careful to not let these gourmets snatch those fillets in a wink." he remarked, letting out a huge yawn.
"Anyway, where's Milon? He has been quite away for a while now. Wasn't he supposed to be getting more food from Harmful Park?" he added.
"That's right... just wish he didn't get into any trouble. But he has been through much harder before anyway, Mighty," Sayo said, smiling briefly.
"Yeah... just mention the name Castle Garland... he must have a lot of spunk to get that castle through."
Mighty sighed deeply: but as he realised that he could've fallen asleep in that position, he quickly stood up. Besides, the food seemed ready for now. He stepped near the fire, glancing at Rami nibbling her fillet stick. Seemingly Spot had already eaten his own serving, since he was snoozing beside a tree.

"Umihara, I think you are the best seafood cooker I've ever met so far- Grandma's fish isn't anything compared to this!"
Rami had good time praising Umihara's delicious fillets, while constantly consuming every bit of it.
"Someone should call for others to come... I'm still suprised that we can still feed this huge, wierd bunch of people. " Sayo said.
"Consisting of some animals and robots to boot?" Umihara added quickly.
"Don't get me started how what to give for robots. Maybe they don't need any, " Mighty said.
"Expect one." Umihara pointed up her finger, giving a good hint.

"Pulseman? I wonder what we should feed him with? Even if he said he's half-human, I bet he can consume some food we can't. Maybe something that has to do with electricity."
"At least he's a healthy person. Must be because he eats a lot of electric food."

After Umihara's comment, everyone suddenly bursted off laughing, expect Rami who confusedly listened for the conversation. Right now, her visions about Pulseman eating electric food felt little too literal for her tastes.


But maybe it makes sense, since Pulseman is a robot after all...

I think I can pick out one or two....god I suck.

Zero.

I get the feeling you and I play completely different games.

I'll PM you my review later.

Unless they're forum related, nothing.

Pulseman's the only one I recall. He's in a game made by GameFreak, no?

Sounds like someone from Megaman.

Haha! I knew these were obscure enough!

HAH!

Okay, here's the characters:

-Rami's from Keio Flying Squadron. (Sega-CD Japanese Themed Cute-Em Up)

- Pocky's from Pocky & Rocky (Seriously, you don't know this series? An Ikari Warriors with little bit Pre-Touhouness or something. One of Taito's memoriable, Nintendo-hard and shortest series. )

-Umihara's from Umihara Kawase (An awesome cult classic, think Bionic Commando with fishes and LSD- I mean... dreamyness.)

-Mighty The Armadillo is from Knuckle's Chaotix (Are you a BEE, SERIOUSLY?!)

-Pulseman's... I guess ya know him?

I mentioned Milon from Milon's Secret Castle/DoReMi Fantasy in the story as well- (-lvl-)
