Foreword: You don't need to watch the anime to understand this. It's just some weird comedy involving the characters, not the real plot. But there are some things you must know:
Dan: Immature, short tempered. Goes out with Runo.
Runo: Short tempered, kinda violent. Goes out with Dan. Weapon: Broom and frying pan.
Marucho: Short (literally), intelligent, is a genius and is rich.
Shun: Cold, silent, irritable, has cool ninja skills and spiffy pretty long black hair. Maybe a bit of Shun/Alice... Weapon: Katana. Has a weird craving for cookies, especially chocolate chip ones.
Julie: Urm... girly maybe? Really sticky with Dan. Weapon: Makeup set.
Alice: Smart, attractive, shy, quiet. Oldest. A bit of Shun/Alice. Weapon: Book?
Joe: Positive, always smiling, intelligent. Goes out with Chan. Something about his smile is creepy...
Chan: Proud? Mature, unlike Dan stabbed. Goes out with Joe.
Tales out of Boredom: The Mini Drabbles Series: Part 1
Once upon a time, there lived eight very bored teenagers who did nothing but sit in the living room all day with AC on highest. One day, a really brilliant and attractive young girl name Julie came up with an equally brilliant idea--
Shun: Cut the crap already. smashes radio to pieces with katana
Dan: Noooo!! That cost me four months of allowance!!... goes sulk in a corner while growing mushrooms
Runo: GET YOUR SICK BUTT OUTTA YA EMO CORNER AND GET OVER HERE!! brandishes broom
Shun: hands her katana Here, this should be more effective.
Runo: Thanks. turns back to Dan with evil glint in eyes Prepare to face what humans call hell.
Dan: GAAAAAAAH!! pounces out window
Julie: half-asleep in front of AC Aaaah... why is summer so hot?
Joe: reading a book I guess it has something to do with our orbit around the sun.
Marucho: Yes, it does. You see, there are four seasons and each of them exist because our orbit
around the sun doesn't form the shape of a circle, but of an oval. Therefore it means that there are moments in the year where... drabbles on
Julie: worn out expression Why did you answer me?
Chan: same depressing expression as Julie Joe, why didn't you accept you mom's request to go camping...
Joe: smiles Because the air conditioning here is first class.
Chan: Something about his smile creeps me out... ugh... It's so hooooot...
Alice: I agree with you... sitting under the sun
Marucho: staring out the window Poor Dan.
Alice: Hey Marucho, what are you looking at?
Marucho: points at Dan melting outside
Shun: comes back from kitchen with a jar of cookies and sits on floor
Julie: Hey Shun, can I have one?
Shun... runs upstairs with jar
Julie: COME BACK HERE YOU SELFISH BRAT!!
Hey guys!! Wait a minute!! What happened to Julie's brilliant idea?
Everyone: stares at... urm... screen?
Chan: Julie? I thought it was Alice? I mean, brilliant and attractive don't go in the same sentence as Julie. Except if it was coming out of Dan's mouth.
Runo: standing behind her, burning What... did... you... say?
Chan: I said--
Joe: covers her mouth Don't add oil to the fire!!
Everyone:...
Runo: What the heck was that saying?!
Julie: Everyone!! I got a brilliant idea! comes downstairs dragging Shun who's holding onto
the cookie jar for dear life Let's all go CAM-PING!!
Dan: crawls in from open window What's cam-ping? Is it some Chinese ritual?
Runo: Marucho, close the window! You're letting all the cold air out!
Joe:... there was cold air?
Marucho: Okay. closes window on Dan
Dan: GAAAAAAAH!! Marucho you sadistic little--
Runo: drags him in and throws him on the ground
Julie: I said, LET'S GO CAMPING!!
Dan: lower body flattened Oh, camping! So it wasn't some weird Chinese ritual after all... bonked by Chan
Chan: gives Joe back his book That's a great idea Julie, but what about the bears and bugs and--
Julie: ALRIGHTY!! SO WE'RE ALL GOING ON A CAMPING TRIIIIIIIP!!
And so the adventurous team set out on an adventurous adventure, with only their sleeping bags, a tent and some food.
Marucho: Okay guys, here we are!
(silence)
Runo: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLACE?! points at ground How are we supposed to sleep on this thing covered with rocks?! points at Alice holding tent And why did we only bring ONE tent? We're supposed to FIT in there?!
Marucho: smile Watch and learn Runo, watch and learn... takes tent and starts putting it up
A few long minutes later...
Marucho: TA-DA!
Everyone: stares in awe at the huge tent with multiple entrances and windows
Dan: Waaaaait a minute! Marucho put that up ALL BY HIMSELF?!
Runo: You're fault for not helping.
Dan: What? How come it's my fault? You didn't help either!
Runo: draws a frying pan out of nowhere Care to repeat?
Shun: sulking under a tree
Alice: walks up to him Shun, what's the matter?
Shun: hands her empty cookie jar
Alice: Oh, it's empty? Don't worry; I'm sure we have some more... somewhere...
Shun: lightens up
Dan: snicker How old are you Shun? D
Shun: draw katana and smashes him with it Old enough to get rid of you and your big mouth.
So the group proceeded to set up camp. A few hours later...
Chan: lying on sleeping bag in front of mini electric fan The heaaaat...
Julie: in two-piece bathing suit Let's all go SWIM-MING!!
Dan: Swimming? Is that another Chinese ritual thingy?
Chan: grabs Shun's katana and stabs him Who said it was? eyebrow twitch
Joe: Oh, why that's a good idea.
A few minutes later, near the lake...
Julie: Hey Runo, why haven't you changed?
Runo: through gritted teeth I'm not in the mood to go play some kid games.
Dan: whispers It's 'cause her bathing suit is yellow with a smiley face on it and she's flat.
Runo: smacks him with a broom CAN'T YOU HOLD YOUR TONGUE?!
Shun: sitting on shore, reading Alice's book
Joe: Hey Shun, what are you reading?
Shun: hands him book entitled 'How to bake five star cookies'
Joe: speechless... Thanks a lot.
Shun: shrugs and goes back to reading, while swinging his legs in the air
Chan: to Julie He looks like a baby. stabbed by katana and sinks
Julie:... OO...
