"Not exactly the fun I had in mind. I had nothing to do as well... well, except eating the most disgusting curry dish ever conceived, get tagged by a new organization for threatening their Rider, leave some water for a drunk guy, you know, the usual." If the sarcasm wasn't apparent enough, nothing would ever be. "Let's call for pizza." Rao leaned back and gazed up at the sky. It really was rather comfortable here. |

“You know, I was gonna spray you with water and run to the ramen place so we can have lunch there, but its pizza you’re talking about. So let’s just eat here!” After he said that, he broke out from his henshin and he becomes normal again. Then he walked to the swings and sat there. “So you’re having fun eh? I just woke up an hour ago, and I’ve been lying on my bed texting random people. Then I realised that I could do something else. Oh, and I’m not in the mood to cook lunch. So I told you to come here so that we can do something.” |

If he hadn't known of how rampantly simple Nimbus was, Rao would have questioned his own sanity for choosing to talk to the man. Taking out his cellphone, he ordered two large pizzas and a few drinks to be brought to the park. It really was very relaxing... so relaxing he started drifting off into some kind of subspace where his thoughts were occupied with only two things: pizza and school girls. ... Speaking of which... Rao turned his body slightly to catch some miniskirts walking along the road. <3 |

“Did you say that you saw another rider? Is he a Kaizou Ningen? Or is he another hand of god? You know, if god has a right hand, he needs to have a left hand too.” As he was saying that, Nimbus ran to the slide and started sliding there. “Rao, come here! This slide thing is fun!” |

Ignoring the childish dints of Nimbus, Rao continued to watch the skirts until they finally disappeared rounding a corner. "Nimbus... do you know the difference between the Hands of God? I am the Hand of God, yet what does it mean? A Hand of God is an act of divine intervention. Specifically, someone who performs deeds in His name. The Right Hand of God is someone who performs only good deeds, and the Left is someone who performs only evil deeds. I am neither, for I choose to do what it takes to right the world. I am he who walks the path of judgment. I am the Hand of God." By the time his speech had finished, Rao had risen from his resting position to standing on the pinnacle of the rock, his finger stretched and raised to the sky. |

Nimbus listened to Rao’s explanation while he was sliding down the slide. He doesn’t understand why Rao is saying that he will do bad things if he thinks that it’s the right thing. Isn’t doing the right thing doing good things? “Oh, I think I get what you mean. Whatever, as long as you fight Kaijins, I will fight with you. By the way, is it just me or were you looking at those primary school girls who were walking down the street?” |

"And what if I was? Nimbus, the perception of a human being is all but a fleeting dream. Morals? Ethics? Do they mean anything? When you fight to right the world, there is no black, white nor gray area. There is only you. And those were secondaries. The sailor uniform is different around the neck, and the skirts are a lot longer on the primaries." Rao sat down unabashed, and started enjoying his show again as more of them poured out of a nearby cram school. |

“There were walking together, I thought you were looking at the little girl, not her big sister. How old are you anyway?” Rao seemed to be so serious about his ideals. Nimbus thought that it will be better for him not to bother with those weird ideals as long as he can see that Rao is doing what is right. |

"Oh, twenty. Ish." Launching into another one, Rao smiled to himself. Sometimes preaching really is fun. "Have you wondered about why age plays a factor in the society's morals about the 'standard' for a couple? Why can't a 40 year old man date an 18 year old girl? Why aren't couples with over fourty years of age in difference be socially acceptable? Why is there such a thing as Age of Consent? Why is alphagamia, that stands for attraction towards different age groups, socially unacceptable?" Rao whistled at a pretty one walking by, and was greeted by a wave. "If we look at historical evidence, unequal pairings are common enough. Looking back even at say, pre-modern Japan, men would marry teens half their age, say about a 30 years-15 years ratio. Power is an aphrodisiac. Men and women of power have oftened married a younger member of the opposite sex, as a show to say - 'because I can'. A brilliant example would be Henry VIII. In modern times, the age difference has shortened to about less than half - seven years. That would mean I could still legally marry a 14 year old girl when I'm 21. Judging by this, I'm still well within my 'scope', so there's no problem. However, the question lies elsewhere. Why is age disparity socially unacceptable? Nimbus, do you know?" |

While Rao was babbling about age of consent and Henry VIII, Nimbus sat down on the slide and listened to him. It was pretty interesting. The stuff that Rao talks about. Then he asked Nimbus a question about age disparity. ”Umm… I’m not sure about that. Let me get back to you on that matter. Anyways, I just wanted to know about your age. I don’t care even if you like a 5 year old kid. That would be wrong though.” |

"Tsk tsk. There you go again. You see, the reason why people think marrying a 5 year old kid is wrong is, well, it's a long story. The short version is, humans survive for one purpose - to reproduce. To reproduce, you must have a male and a female who are both fertile. While women lose their fertility in the 40's, men go much longer, and are therefore attracted theoretically to women who look like they may be... more fertile, or fertile for a longer time. That is in itself a concept that you must always bear in mind. Old people often view the generation gap as an obstacle to overcome, especially if they feel they have "missed out" something, whether it be culturally, as a human being, or whatever. Remember, human lives are short. We're insignificant compared to how much time has already been spent building this universe up to the current state. And although I would like to explain why time is just another human concept, I won't. In most modern first world societies, age-disparate relationships are seen as aberrant or even perverse. The age difference that is generally accepted by modern society varies directly with the age of the individuals involved in the relationship; larger differences are more acceptable with older individuals. For example, while a seven-year difference might be considered unacceptable (even illegal in some places) between a 22-year-old and a 15-year-old, it is less remarkable between a 30-year-old and a 23-year-old, and unnoticed completely between a 58-year-old and a 51-year-old. Why is that? We've even made up terms for the difference in age between couples, such as ephebophilia, which means attraction of older people to younger people, pedophilia or lolita complex, which means attraction to pre-adolescents and infantophilia, which is what you just described - attraction to a 5 year old. Of these, Infantophilia is probably the worst case, and socially unacceptable. Why? Because the boy, or girl, isn't fertile yet. My attraction lies generally within ephebophilia, which is post-adolescent in my case. Most people are unable to discern between the three, and make blatantly ignorant remarks about a subject they have no knowledge of, nor do they seek to increase it. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose, for those who are unable to grasp the concept of attraction to younger members of the human race. Of course, I'm not fighting to right this particular thing. It would just be petty and personal. I'm fighting to bring the world peace, not marriages with 5 year olds." Rao waved at the pizza man who arrived just in time, and shelled out 2000 yen. "Chowtime. Itadakuzo." Reaching for his own pizza, Rao dug in, a satisfied expression on his face. |

“Whatever you say dude. It’s your choice. You are you, you yourself decide whatever is best for you!” After he finished saying that, he jumped out of the slide and ran to the rock where Rao is. Nimbus then sat down opposite of Rao and took a slice of pizza from the box. “Pizza! YUM!” |

"You got floored by some gaijin guy, Ryuho," "Yeah. You're right about that. I wonder why he wanted to fight me anyway. Hey, Chef! Got a ice pack? I need one for my face. I'm going to take a walk out to the park. I need to make another call." Ryuhou got a ice pack from the chef and applied it to his face, then walked out to this park that was 30 minutes from the ramen restraunt. When he arrived at the park, he saw two persons, one who looked familiar. "Rao, is that you?" |

"!" Rao looked up from his pizza, and nearly choked. Ryuhou had found him already. Waving him closer, he motioned Ryuhou to sit beside them and offered him pizza silently. Eyeing Nimbus, he motioned for the man to stay quiet inconspicuously. "What brings you out here? And what's with the eye? Some flatfoot decided your face wasn't pretty enough?" |

"What brings you out here? And what's with the eye? Some flatfoot decided your face wasn't pretty enough?" "Thanks for the pizza. Aw, well some drunken gaijin burst through the ramen place, literally, and picked a fight with me for no reason. He was way too strong, even, for a normal human being and I got knocked out. Anyway, I need to talk to you about something. It's about that call." |

Too strong for a normal human being...? Rao eyed Nimbus again. Birds of the same feather, then. "Call? You mean the one that's supposed to make me paranoid about agents on my ass? Oh, don't worry. I've pissed off enough organizations and firearm dealers to have an army behind me by now. One or two more won't really matter. I think." Biting into his pizza again, Rao pondered upon why he was so relaxed. Maybe he really was chased after by too many people to even care anymore. |

"Nah, he's just a glutton like me." And because I want him silent. No need for Riders other than me to know anything about the others. And you will all dance for me as I right the world... "So... what's the organization you work for like? Good salary? Dental plan? Weekly facial 'mask' checkups?" Rao knew he was being mean by pushing the question, but letting Ryuhou question him instead was even worse. |

They're called the Verineer Technologies Corporation. Well... When you said that thing about the mask back in the restraunt, I thought you were an agent of the people we're fighting against. And there's something you should know about me." |

What? WHAT?! No, you idiot, don't say it here! Grabbing Ryuhou by the shirt, Rao hauled the man to a side and whispered fiercely, "Don't you realize if you speak about your identity so freely it could cause you trouble?" Relaxing a little, Rao waited for Ryuhou to continue. |

"Go ahead." "Okay. For one thing. I'm not a human. I'm what you people call an alien. The enemy my corproation is fighting, are the ones who invade my homeplanet. I was the only one to escape this horrible invasion. My parents put in information with me to help me to return to the home planet and save it. I crash landed on Okiwana about 5 years ago. I was raised by a father who adopted me until 3 years ago when i came here to Tokyo to get help. Thats where Verineer Technologies come in. They helped me construct equipment for me when that day when they get here. And they're already on the way here in fact." |

Rao listened in stunned silence. Alien... so... Ryuhou Takumi is an alien. Okay. Nothing strange about that. I mean, I received my powers from a white bling bling light. No biggie. Aliens. Yup... I've got to learn to put some serious thought on that self-tsukkomi thing I've heard about. "... Hm. I see. Your home planet is invaded, you want to save it, and Verineer provides you with Rider gear to do so. Okay. I can accept that." Rao gave no hint as to how painful it was to disguise his surprise. I am talking to an alien. I'm doing something 99% of all astrological-related scientists would give their limbs for, and then some. "I don't suppose... your enemy includes some of this... kaijin I've heard about? I think you're telling me this because you trust me, but..." Then Rao remembered what Ryuhou said at the end. "They're coming? Are they going to pick you up and send you home now?" |

OOC: Y'know it's wierd that you guys are like one day ahead of us folks in the ramen joint. >_> Mao's bracelet clinked against the bowl as she set it down, having just drained a lot of the soup with rather unfeminine gulps. All that remained of her sushi was a dish of used soy sauce, and the two bamboo sheets from her meat buns were piled nearby. "Ah, that hits the spot!" she said aloud. She noticed alot of her posse had left, it being rather late. Well, that never bothered her much. She could protect herself on the dark streets sufficiently enough, she thought. |
