"You don't have to, but that'd be awesome. Thanks, Sakura." Brandon replied to her. "If the subs cost more, though, you don't need to do that. After all..." Brandon trailed off, pointing at his ear in which his Codec resided. "Infinite am-er...sorry, I mean instant translator." He corrected himself while Bri laughed. "I can see you remember that joke, don't ya?

Sakura smiled. "Excellent, either way. It'll have to be cure and gooey, since it's Gingkyo. Wait, may I see that?"

"Cure and gooey? The heck does that...wait." Brandon stopped himself. "Cure? ...Aha!" He shouted, snapping his fingers and startling Bri. "Pretty Cure! That series has a few movies! That'd be perfect!" He said, hoping he wouldn't have Sakura placidly stare at him for knowing such a franchise. "...What, I can't like Magical Girl animes?" He said, remembering her question. "Oh, the Codec! Sure, here." He said, removing the device and handing it to Sakura. "Works just like it does for Snake, with the added bonus of a translator that can both translate foreign dialogue into your own and modify your own voice into the other person's language! No, don't ask me how that works, by the way."

Sakura nodded with a smile as she began to look at the codec. "I think Gingkyo would like Magical Girl movies. This is so cool. Aw, you don't know how it would work? Oh well. I could sketch it out later. My gods, this is amazing! It could do a lot for my people, removing linguistic limits on us and what cases we can take! Is it an automatic process?" As she asked, she had a very childlike look of glee.

"You're like a kid in a candy store with th-wait, did I make that joke already?" Brandon pondered before shaking his head. "Well, uh...the way I 'procured' that would be quite hard to just keep mass-producing. Then again, Metal Gear takes place in a 'near-future' setting, so you never know when it could normally be made. Though, I'd imagine it still wouldn't be mass-produced as the radio part could be quite a security threat. The translation part on its own, however, would be amazing to make copies of. I'd get one for you and Ging, but you already understand enough languages without it." He explained. "As a side note, I'm surprised you only said 'my gods' instead of 'ye gods'...well, for obvious reasons."

Sakura smiled. "I understand. Ging only knows English and Japanese. She'll learn more in her school career. Then again, if we had a codec, we wouldn't have so many specialists. As for 'ye gods' my family isn't super-religious. In fact, my mother really doesn't like religion at all."

"Well, just saying the 'ye gods' thing from a certain bunch of people we know that got us to use it despite us not really being religious whatsoever." Brandon quickly explained. "Say, what time is it?"
Bri climbed up on Brandon's shoulder and starting licking his face again. "Half past cute-little-sister-licks-me-again, eh?" Brandon replied to Bri. "Course it is!" Bri mewed back.

Sakura looked over. "It's about 11 in the morning now." She giggled at Bri licking him. "She may do that to you again when she returns to human form." She said.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she did. She might miss doing that as a cute, little kitten so much that she'd try to replicate it." Brandon replied, picking Bri up and holding her in front of him. "I think that's enough licking for now, sis. I know it's adorable, but you might do that when you return to normal if you do it a lot at one time." "Aww, but I like it..." Bri mewed back. "You know...I dunno why, but she likes playing with me the most out of the three of us. You got an answer, sis?" Brandon asked as he put the kitten back on his lap. "I don't know...I love all three of you, though!" Bri happily mewed. "Heh, I'll be sure to get an English answer later." Brandon replied, petting Bri.

"Maybe. Or she may do it to mess with you." Sakura added. "Gingkyo may do that too. I'm anticipating the day she steals my clothes by taking inventory. When she was adopted in, she used to follow me around like my shadow. Mother and Father spoke with her after she was caught waiting for me outside of the bathroom."

"Nah, Bri would just do it to be cute. Or she could, you never know." Brandon replied, smiling back at the kitten. "As for Ging, I can just imagine the squeal she'll make when she sees Bri here. Not to mention her two new friends." "She'll be just as loud and cute as me!" Bri mewed back, jumping down to the rest of the kittens. "I can't wait for Gingkyo to be here!"

Sakura smiled. "Yeah, she would. She'd probably try to cuddle them all."

"And she'll have twice the kitties to work with. Hell, Bri would have the perfect human playmate with Ging. Ain't that right, sis?" Brandon said. "Yeah! We'll have a lot of fun!" Bri mewed back.
((Mind if we time-skip to picking Ging up?))

(sure) After an hour and a half, the phone rang. Sakura answered and after a few moments of rapid Japanese, she turned to her guest. "Time to go."

"Already? Alright, let's go, Bri!" Brandon called to the kitten, making her jump up into his arms. "Let's go see Gingkyo!" Bri mewed to Brandon. "You're quite excited, aren't ya? Well, we're ready, Sakura." Brandon told the girl.

Sakura nodded. "Let's go. Hana, Kitty, Babies and Chewy, stay here. I think it may be a good idea to leave Bri here too. That way, she'll be another surprise."

"Good idea. Can you stay here, Bri?" Brandon asked as the kitten looked away. "Oh, don't be like that, sis. I'll play with you the minute I get back, okay?" He added, seeing the kitten's head shoot right back up. "Okay! I'll wait for you, brother!" Bri said, licking his face one more time. "Hah, you don't need to prove how adorable you are with that. Play with the others 'till we get back." Brandon told Bri, letting her down to her friends. "Let's roll, Sakura." He said, ready to leave. "What should we do until they come back?" Bri asked her friends.

Sakura nodded as the two walked out. "Now, the kids have just gotten back, so they'll be at the school now. Nice day for a walk, don't you think?"
"Well, they won't be gone too long." Hana said. "And Obasan said we're not allowed past the girls' rooms. Then again, they're walking. It's up to you."
((Obasan=grandmother, aka Keiko. X3 Not sure about the word meaning, though.))

"Yeah, it is. Next time we come for a normal trip to Japan, this will be our first destination." Brandon said, suddenly looking a bit saddened. "Though...I kinda feel bad about what happened recently, if you know what I mean." ((Yeah, I snuck a certain recent event in there. I really do hope it gets better over there.))
"If it sounds fun to you, let's go!" Bri told Hana.

Sakura nodded sadly. "Some people are still in underground Nyasao. I was a little scared, like the rest of us. We're more west of the zone, though. I think a little more north too. Still, we do what we can when we can. Father donates a lot of money and food to the affected areas and a lot of Mother's pieces are inspired by the disaster to help donate to affected families. That's where they are now." ((It's cool. I would probably do so, too))
"Ok, let's get going then. The house is really big. Let's race!" Hana said as she ran around, sliding around.

"Well, since I'm here..." Brandon trailed off, digging into his pockets. "Aha, here we are. It's not much, but it's the only normal currency from this world that I got right now." He said, handing Sakura a twenty dollar bill. "I'm sure there's some kind of currency exchanger around here, so let them change it to yen if they need to. You can put it towards the relief efforts if you want."
"Right behind you!" Bri replied, chasing Hana all over the house. "Come back here, you silly cat!"

Sakura handed Brandon the money back. "Keep it. You may need it while you're here. Besides, every business in town has special containers for the money.
Hana mewed like she was laughing as she continued scurrying. "Catch me if you can!" She meowed.

"Alright, whatever you say." Brandon said, taking back the bill. "I still plan on giving it to that, I still have a bit left over besides this. Besides...how else can I repay the country that gave us a good majority of our video games?" He said, giving a quick laugh.
------------------------------------
"I have you now!" Bri mewed, slowly, but surely catching up to Hana. She pounced on her once she got close enough.

Sakura laughed. "Well, that's one way to look at it." She said. "Gingkyo will no doubt want ice cream or something when we come get her." She said.
Hana rolled as she tried to get Bri in a headlock and they began play-fighting.

"I'll pay for the ice cream if you want...I'm getting a bit hungry, anyway." Brandon said, shaking his head. "Oh, right...I doubt an ice cream truck driver takes foreign currency, my bad."
Bri accepted Hana's playfighting challenge and pounced on her repeatedly. "You won't get me that easily!"

"There's a money exchanger in town. You can ask them from there." Sakura said. "Ging will appreciate the treat." She smiled.
Hana pounced and wrestled right along with Bri.

After getting said money exchanged, Brandon continued to follow Sakura. "You know, if it's always paper and coins, what exactly IS the point of separate currencies? I can get if it's...oh, I dunno, different shapes like Rupees or Zenny, but it's always the same material." He said to the assassin. "Huh...you know, I never thought this much about money before."
Bri dodged a few pounces and returned with a few of her own, trying to wrestle Hana down to the ground. "I may be a cute, little fluffball, but I can be as tough as my sister when I wanna be!"

Sakura pondered for a few moments. "Me neither." She said quietly. "Maybe it's because it's a different nation."
Hana dodged Bri, as well. "You think you can take me? I take on Kitty and the other Baby every day!" She said as she pounced again.

"So...I'd hate to sound like a little kid on a road trip, but are we there, yet? My stomach's aching for that ice cream about now." Brandon said.
"My sister can take Brandon and Twili on at the same time! She's teaching me how to do it, too! And now I can learn how to do it in this form...with you as my target!" Bri mewed to Hana, strafing around and jumping at Hana from behind.

"Patience." Sakura smiled serenely. "We have to get to Gingkyo first."
Hana jumped up and dove onto Bri. "You're my best sparring partner yet."
