"Yeah, they were just here," said Shinji.
"..." said the still catatonic Asuka.
"Wark?" asked Pen Pen, a little surprised that Shinji knew what he'd been asking.
"Well, it's what I'd be asking," said Shinji. "Nobody likes me. Even I don't want to spend time with me."
"Wark," agreed Pen Pen. "Wark?"
"Well, I was hoping to get them to take Asuka with them when they go. Providing they weren't optical illusions or something." Shinji shifted the drooling girl on his back. "It's not like I know anything about medicine or how to keep her alive."
"Wark," agreed Pen Pen. They'd need to run a nasogastric tube for feeding. Odd how useful some of those daytime soap-operas could be in situations like this.
"..." said Asuka, her eyes slowly coming to regard Pen Pen but not focussing on him.
"It'll be okay, Asuka. I'm in one of my more sane moods," said Shinji.
"Wark?" Pen Pen asked, not at all reassured.
"Roast penguin? Sounds yummy. Wait a minute! Don't go! I was only joking! Damn, I didn't know penguins could run that fast."
Pen Pen was NOT an idiot. Who else would have mailed themselves to a hot spring resort when he'd heard that his owner was staying there? If those people weren't a delusion, he had to find them!

The moon looked closer, decided Nabiki, getting more and more spooked as time went on.
The sea seemed to beckon her, promising fulfillment. Promising the scream. The madness of a billion minds fused together in some primordial goo.
And the scream. Was that her imagination too? The scream of a thousand voices mingled together in an eternal wail of damnation.
The good thing was that the two fathers had passed out in a state of extreme inebriation.
"You mind if I sit here, I... don't want to be alone right now," said Akane, not waiting for an agreement as she plopped down onto the roof next to her sister.
"I can't see what Ranma found so interesting about the roof," said Nabiki. "You can't see much beyond the sea of roofs."
"No," agreed Akane. "Though there's that light over there."
"A motorscooter?" asked Nabiki, thinking she heard an engine.
