Mariko smiles and giggles. But drops the subject of yasmine. She can see vara is no mood to think about her. "You're a lifesaver,vara. Mwah!" She kisses the camera. " that was probably way less cute on your end." She apologizes. " the back of my head looks like leather face. Emerald needs to suffer." Mariko says with a smirk. This was now all about love,lust,and revenge. The perfect Mariko storm.

Mariko grins and puckers up when she sees vara blowing a kiss. " I can taste the jello." She giggles. She had never thought about nina catching on. Mariko was many things,but devious wasn one. " oh...I never thought of that. My plan was to be all like," nina.. We need to talk about what happened the other day." Then tell her it was emerald...and that I worry for her safety too." Mariko says softly. As this was truth. Emerald was more than a little crazy.

Mariko nods back. "I wonder if this ever has happened with nina and emerald? Emerald had no qualms about striking first." Mariko says. Placing that doubt in her own head would make if far more convincing later. For all she knows,maybe it has happened before. Mariko looks up at Vera. " this... Is pretty evil,huh?" She asks.

"Technically it was a fight,but I was using restraint. I should have cut her when I had the chance." Mariko says with a slight laugh. The more sure thought of how emerald bested her,the more angry about it she became. She hates losing face." I am better. No one would ever call me "blowjob lips."...even if mine are nicer. How does she live with someone like that? Trent would fuckig kill someone if they disrespected you like that,no matter what your response is. Clearly nina doesn't care all that much for emerald." Mariko says,matter of factly. She sees vara and Trent as THE ideal couple.

"What?! No!" Mariko shrieks with laughter. " Trent is far too classy to hit a woman,no matter what she did. Now if it were a male that threw a book at you? Trent would have a keyboard made from their teeth." Mariko smiles,loving how vara lit up. " ...think Trent has a sister?" Mariko jokes.

" it is probably for the best. It would be too weird if he did.You have claim to his whole family." Mariko giggles. " it would be like Erica's wife pregnant with her best frend's husband's child....ew." Mariko says. She isn't one to gossip on her cousin,but she finds this beyond strange.

Mariko shrugs. " it's probably some weird orgy thing." She says conspiratorially. " you would look so pretty all egyptianed up. No jury could convict you. I don't like kids.at all" Mariko says coldly as well. " if I was with someone and they had kids? Keep them at the other parents house."

Mariko laughs,picturing vara with a child. Not because she thinks vara would be a bad mother, it is just so impossible to picture. " you and Trent would make beautiful kids. " she says with certainty. " other people's kids are the ones I like. I can play with them until they start to cry,then off they go." She laughs. " if you and Trent have some, I will totally baby sit for you."

Mariko grins when she sees vara smile. In a conversation about jailing people and breaking people up,it was a nice smile. " aunt Mariko...it has a nice sound to it. They would never believe we did not get along. I can barely believe it at times." Mariko smiles warmly. It's slightly bittersweet as she is convinced she herself will never be with someone long term. " can I ask you something...sorta related to all of this." Mariko says very quietly.

"Ok." Mariko squeaks,then gets up to close her door and turn the tv on. " does Trent know about....that one time? " Mariko asks quietly. " I just dread him questioning me one day and I'm the one to spill the beans." Mariko says with a shrug.
