[Dream post: Rising Sun]

[The long stone stairs of a Japanese shrine come into view. On either side are large expanses of lush beautiful trees and flowers in bloom by the looks of it, it's late spring or early summer . Washu comes walking into view with a long canister carrying case hanging off her shoulder by a strap. As she continues up the stairs two other people come into view, a young teenage boy short black hair a pony tail along with an older woman with long black hair wearing looks like some sort of ceremonial royal robes with a green dot on her forehead.

Just by a glance one can tell the two are related as they speak to one another. The conversation is muffled at the moment as Washu silently approaches. Once she's close enough, she lets out a mischievous giggle and smiles up at the woman who both looks apprehensive and startled at her sudden arrival. The boy just looks startled. The boy starts to introduce the lady to Washu before she cuts him off.

"Funaho, the Queen of Jurai ,right? How do you do? My name is Washu."

The small scientist holds out her hand and smiles. The Queen takes a few steps down to Washu's level and shakes her hand, "I'm pleased to meet you, young Washu."

From there Washu hands the canister carrying case off to Tenchi and asks him to run it home for her. Once he disappears, the two women begin talking.

" Lady Funaho, shall we?"

"Excuse me, but can you call me Little Funaho. I'd like that."

Washu groans and sighs as the queen starts chuckling.

"I don't believe this. Mihoshi even put that in her report?"

"It took our supreme council four days to summarize Mihoshi's report. During that time it was absolutely impossible to do anything else.."

"Whenever Mihoshi's involved, it takes time alright."

Funaho pauses for a moment before speaking again. "Washu, you know the reason why we are here, don't you? What is your answer? Now tell me."

Washu pauses, her back turned to the queen and it seems like she's thinking for a moment before speaking. "My answer? Is no."

Both ladies resume walking down the stairs once more, enjoying the beautiful summer day. Eventually Washu picks up the conversation again as she's watching the scenery go by as they walk.

"What you are saying is this; Jurai's ships are powerful but can't be mass produced but, Ryo-Ohki can be reproduced easily."

"It's fine if we're the only ones with the technology but, if we're not..."

"I don't care who develops what. It's not my concern."

Moments later Funaho stops walking as a quiet reserved look crosses her features. Washu just keeps walking for a few moments as if not caring before finally stopping.

"Weeell. I don't want to alientate Tenchi sooo..."

The other woman looks up in surprise as Washu continues to speak. "I will not help anybody. How's that?"

Funaho looks rather relieved at that statement and smiles . "Thank you very much Washu."

"Lady Funaho."

"Yes?"

"Please call me Little Washu~. Alright? After all, I am Little!

Both women begin laughing.]

[ooc: Feel free to walk up to them on the stairs or contact Washu after the dream ends. it's up to you. Washu speaking and Funaho speaking]

Well, that just explained a whole lot about you. Speaking of which that was sarcasm.

[Give a certain red-head a few moments to realize that there's a message. She just woke up after all.]

You just need to know what you're looking at.

[So they could see the dream huh? Well, at least it was one of the tamer ones she's had lately.]

[Don't question my SIGHT woman. Not the needing glasses to see, the other SIGHT.]

Well, I don't. I'm not a mind reader. I have no idea who these people are.

[She just smiles.]

It's simple really. I'd say take another look, but I'm awake now.

[She toys with the end of her hair for a moment.]

I turned down a defense contract.

Denfense contract? ^{I thought you where a -} [Tch] Scientist.

I am a scientist.

[She sighs and sets their little conversation to private.]

I just happen to be able to create and single handily build some of the most dangerous ships in the known galaxy.

[His glasses shimmering quite intrigued.] Do share.

What's there to share~? I created the battleship Soja which destroyed numerous planets, colonies and who knows what else while under Kagato's command.

I also created Ryoko and her ship Ryo-Ohki. Both capable of taking out entire fleets of Jurai's best ships.

If you want to know how I did it, that's something I'm not sharing.

[What more can she say? When Washu creates a weapon, they are very, very powerful.]

[He shrugs well theres' nothing wrong with destorying things if there's a reason behind it...]

Wait - what?! [Struggling with the words] Ryoko and her ship Ryo Ohki?

[There are reason's she stays neutral when it comes to most intergalactic conflicts. Personally, she doesn't care as long as they leave er alone.

It's when they don't that she gets destructive.]

Of course~. I know I look too young to be her mom but it's true~. I created her.

But... You make it sound like a person turns into a ship...

Not quite. Ryoko was created to handle the power of my gems. Ryo-Ohki happens to be the sentient ship I made to be her partner and companion.

They really are the greatest pieces of work I've ever made.

What gems?

You speak as it's so.

Something you don't need to worry about.

Of course, I have yet to create something that can surpass them and I doubt I ever will.

Oh, sure. Keep what sounds interesting to yourself. Speaking of which that was sarcasm.

Mmmm, that's new. You doubt yourself.

Of course. It makes you curious~.

It's not doubt in the way you're familiar with. I know I could never make anything that could surpass them and I won't try to either.

[Tony chuckles] Sounds like I'm not the only one with people out to replicate my tech.

You too huh? Maybe we should start a club.

Hey, I'm all for it. ... So, tell me. How many light years behind your stuff are the crappy copies people keep tryin' to come up with?

The last person who tried to copy my master pieces failed to take a few things into account. Namely Ryoko's emotions.

Otherwise, nothing has come close to matching the firepower my work has.

That missing variable can really be a bitch. [he grins] But hey, good for you.

One of the guys who tried to copy me ended up losing his big fancy government contract because he got all personal and stupid about it ...

Hehe~. That sounds like Doctor Clay alright. He could never understand why I always succeeded and he didn't.

Lemme guess, he wanted all the results with half the hard work or half the money?

More like he was obsessed with perfection. Clay didn't love the work he was doing. He wanted nothing but results and anything less than perfect was destroyed without studying what went wrong.

That's probably the most contradictory method of invention I think I've ever heard. Hammer just kind of ... threw it away if it didn't blow things up loud enough to get him the attention he wanted, basically.

That would be why he got kicked out of the graduate school of the science academy.

...That Hammer guy sounds like a real winner. Please tell me something blew up in his face at some point.

Metaphorically, not physically, but it was still pretty satisfying. The guy he hired to help out-engineer me turned out to be a psycho. You should come over sometime, I can tell you over sushi, we'll talk lab, you can meet Pepper. She's the one that called the cops on him.

[he loves his girlfriend]

Metaphorically is still good.

[His invite makes her chuckle.]

I think I would enjoy that. It's not often I actually get to talk lab with anyone on my own level. Just give me a time and place.

It is, yeah. I wish I could've been there to see his face when they arrested him, but I was busy dealing with the psycho he hired.

How 'bout next week, sometime? You've probably got a busier schedule than I do, in terms of knowing people. ... Ugh. I really should do the social thing, but - security first. [especially now that Pepper's here. he needs to make sure she'll be safe before he can do the Genius Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist thing]

Next week sounds great. Shall I show up at your place? I'm afraid mine isn't exactly meant for company.

[Though Tony would probably love her lab.]

Being social around here isn't as hard as you think. Just go for a walk in the plaza, you're bound to run into someone interesting.

The plaza, huh? Yeah, sure. Definitely couldn't hurt. [he grins] I'm used to parties and charity fundraisers and big corporate shindigs, so just ... going out and around without getting swarmed by media is still kind of a new idea.

The more I think about it, though, the more I like it. Definitely.

Unless you're the one throwing the parties I doubt you'll find very many here.

[She can sympathize about the media.Being one of the top scientific geniuses in the universe has its downsides.]

Good~. Then get out there and maybe we'll run into each other sometime.

Okay, challenge accepted. Both of 'em.

[you do realize you just pretty much told Tony he needs to throw a party, right?]

I look forward to seeing what you come up with~.

[Yep. Washu's counting on the resulting chaos to be entertaining.]
