[Day: Monday, March 24th. Time: 2:50 p.m.] [Weather: Warm and sunny.] [Nothing like a Monday to spice up your life, eh? Everyone gathers at the lockers. Even Katie; she's not dying anymore; she just looks really really bad instead.] [Session Start!] * Haruko walks slowly down the hallway, her backpack overstuffed and slight bags under her eyes. * Satoshi waits by his locker, keeping a watch for Katie. ( Haruko's dad is a detective vampire from the 30s. ) ( It's true. @_@ ) * Taki walks in from her usual direction, the fact she's nearly a minute early and trying to catch her breath is telling of her not having walked most of the way from her own locker. * Haruko reaches Satoshi, gives him a nod and a half smile, and then carefully puts her bag on the ground before slowly sit down herself. Heya, Haruko. * Kaede walks slowly and carefully down the hall, checking around as he does so. His kaban is slung over one shoulder and he, surprisingly, looks rather less tired than he has been for the past, err, month? He's keeping one eye on Katie at his side as he goes. Hi Satoshi, hey Taki. * Taki leans on somebodies locker and waives weakly at Haruko, "...not one of my better ideas." Heya, Taki. * Taki looks up at Satoshi, "heya yourself Satoshi." * Haruko opens up her bag and gets out what looks like a large white sheet or something. * Satoshi looks down the hall and watches Katie and Kaede approach. * Katie is with him, actively looking around. She's much better! For one, she can walk. For another, her color's back. She's sporting a badly healed horizontal scar on her throat, though, and still looks more fragile than normal. * Taki looks around and finaly notices where Satoshi is looking. * Haruko looks over to Taki. "What's wrong?" She then glances over at Katie and waves, and then smiles at Taki for a moment. "Don't let me hold you." * Taki grins at Haruko, but doesn't move, "I tried to get here early for once...I don't think it was worth it." * Haruko giggles and then folds and then shakes out and refolds the sheet in her lap a few times. It seems like it's attached to itself in a few places. * Katie stops once she gets near the group, but not particularly close. She peers at each person in turn. (And you should all know the drill. ;P) * Haruko stares back at Katie and wipes the hair out of her eyes. * Kaede sighs and stops as he approaches, giving a weak wave. "Hello, everyone." He eyes Katie as she does that but doesn't comment. * Satoshi tries to smile at Katie, and makes sure to look her straight in the eyes. * Haruko checks Katie's eyes while she's at it. Might has well make good use of the time. * Taki gives Katie a weak as she looks back into her grey eyes. (Isn't it rather odd to smile at someone when they're trying to figure out whether you're a fake or not? "Hi! I'm real! Really!") (Well, it's better than glaring.) ( if this were FFXI, you'd all get /slapped for /checking people without asking :P ) (Ow! /angry!) (I have no FFXI. ;_;) (Then again, I have no time for it.) (It's probably a good thing.) (neither do I) * Katie relaxes visibly, then continues to her locker and goes about switching books. "Hi." * Haruko goes back to work at the sheet in her lap. She finally seems to have folded it to her satisfaction and starts digging into her bag. She's making rather slow deliberate motions as she does this. * Katie glances at Haruko as she does the digging. 'Lo. * Haruko takes out a needle and some thread, and a set of intructions. She then gets to trying to run the thread through the eye of the needle. She's not having an easy time of it. * Taki watches Katie dig though her locker and wishes she could think of something to say. * Kaede goes to his locker, eyeing Haruko out of the corner of his eye. "What's this about?" * Katie ends up with the right books and all, closing her locker, turning, and sliding to sit on the floor in front of it. She keeps her eyes on Haruko. * Satoshi slowly sits down next to Katie. * Haruko had been looking at the needle with a rather focused expression, her hand jerks at Kaede's question and she looks peevish for a moment, before switching to a smile and looking up at Katie. * Taki looks between Katie and Haruko and then takes a seat of her own near Katie. * Kaede looks down and eyes as everyone moves closer and just rolls his eyes, leaning against the lockers and looking at Haruko. "Well?" * Taki blinks at the display, "...You're...getting better at that." * Kaede rolls his eyes again. "Honestly, do you think here's the best place to be practicing that?" [Haruko's phone rings!] I was able to liquify some of my old toys last night, I then moved up to simple things, I think if I sew the robe myself, I'll understand it well enough to tranform it too. * Haruko jerks again as she tries to thread the needle. She then goes to pick up the phone. "Hi." * Taki starts to answer and then cuts off when the phone rings. ( Haruko threads the phone! ) * Katie just keeps watching. She hasn't said much, for some reason. * Satoshi hasn't, either, but that's not really new. * Kaede sighs and shakes his head, closing his eyes a bit. * Haruko speaks back into the phone. "No, what's up?" * Taki sighs and glances over at Katie. * Kaede looks around suddenly as he opens his eyes, frowning a bit. "Has anyone seen Kyon?" No, but that's not anything new. * Katie shakes her head. "No." * Taki shakes her head, "Not a word from him." I'll be sure to get on it. Can it wait at all or is it urgent? (WORD. To your Kaede.) (*snerks*) * Kaede looks down at Satoshi and gives him a bit of a frown. "No, but it's going to have to change." True. Think he might be in the student council office? Could be. Could try his phone. * Taki reaches for hers and doesn't remember where it is untill after she's got her bag open. * Haruko smiles slightly and her tone warms up. "Oh, it is important, just needed to know if there was a rush." * Taki slowly closes her bag again. * Haruko keeps the warm tone. "I understand, you don't have to say anything more. So good bye, I'll see you later today." * Katie sort of reaches over and puts a hand on Kaede's shoe. She's gone to looking around as she notices the sounds of the other students. * Kaede blinks and looks down, staring at Katie's hand. * Taki glances at the two K's and then resoutly looks elsewhere. * Kyon turns the corner at the end of the hallway, his bag slung over his shoulder. He stalks on down the hallway towards the others. * Haruko hangs up and then looks up at the group. "I've got some things to do later today. May I recommend that once Kyon shows up, at least some of us go to check on our friends still in the hospital." * Katie doesn't look back to Kaede, as she immediately turns her attention to Kyon and looks directly at him. * Kaede looks up at Kyon and his eyes narrow. His hand instinctively reaches inside his coat as he looks at Kyon's eyes. He's not as good as Katie, but hey. Well, speak of him and he shall appear. We hope... Only one way to find out. * Taki trys to see Kyon's eyes. * Haruko then digs a paper bag out of her backpack and puts it down on the ground. She then glances over at Kyon and sighs and starts backing up her robe to be. * Kyon stops a few steps off, and shakes his head bemusedly. "All this attention." Can it. * Taki opens her mouth...and then closes it again. * Haruko closes up her bag, taking the backpack in one hand and the paperbag in another, she then eases herself up, wincing a little as she stands. We had a bad time. You know that. Does he check out, Katie? * Kyon rolls his conveniently brown and red flecked eyes. "Yeah. Makes life harder." * Katie nods a couple times. Can we go somewhere else to talk about this? Sure. Where? * Kaede sighs. "Difficulty's the least of our worries." He nods to Katie. * Haruko puts her backpack on. "So, to the hospital? Any objections? We don't need to take everyone." * Taki pushes herself to her feet, "Your place?" * Kaede winces at Haruko's comment, but doesn't respond either way. * Taki shrugs, "That works too I suppose." My place is good. Why the hospital, Haruko? * Haruko looks over at Satoshi. "We still have people there." And visiting hours only go so late. Yeah, but it might not be the best place to talk about things. * Katie removes her hand from Kaede's foot, grabs her satchel, and stands back up. "It's not." * Kaede looks down at the removal of pressure and then back at Katie. * Taki nods, "So we talk for a bit at Satoshi's and then we go over there." We may want to visit first, that way we can take action if need be after discussing. * Kaede winces again. "Do we really, I mean, do we really have to go?" * Haruko just quietly repeats. "We still have people there." She did say that she didn't need everybody there. Haruko, if you want to go do healing, go ahead. * Kaede bites his lip and looks aside, still not commenting much. * Katie glances back at Kaede, then speaks up, "Someone should go with Haruko." * Haruko nods. "I won't force anyone. I won't even argue it." * Taki looks at the other gathered Arcarna and then mutters to herself about not wanting to be logical. * Kaede turns his gaze away from Katie's. * Kyon blows out a breath. "I'll go." * Haruko then smiles slightly. "Probably one visitor for each of our people would be enough." She then sighs "I can handle Ryuji, but Remi and I aren't really all that close." She then grins. "I'm not sure a visit even from the real you would be comforting to her either Kyon." * Taki sighs, "I guess it is me...Kaede doesn't want to go, Katie doesn't need to go, it'd be rude to go to Satoshi's home without him and Kyon needs to talk ...I think." I just... don't want to go back yet. Tell Remi I'm sorry. * Haruko starts walking towards the subway. "Do what you feel you have to." She then looks at Katie with a sad smile. "Don't worry, I'm sure she'll understand." * Kaede just looks at Haruko and then to the side. I'll bring her to Satoshi's when we're done. * Taki waves to Satoshi and Katie and turns to follow Haruko. * Haruko slowly walks away. Might be waiting for something, might just be injured. * Katie waves. "Bye." * Taki quickly catches up to Haruko then. * Kyon turns up against the lockers and watches them out of the corner of his eye. He doesn't seem particularly bothered about the not going. Okay. Take care, you two! * Kaede doesn't watch anyone but the floor. Pretty floor. * Katie fiddles with her satchel strap. "Are you okay, Kaede?" * Kaede lets out a long sigh and looks off to the side. "..." Kaede? That's a no. * Kyon stretches against the lockers. "That a change?" * Kaede starts to turn down the hall and walk, very slowly and clods down it. He stops and looks up, but not back at Kyon. "I...really don't need this, Kyon." * Katie shakes her head. * Kyon turns to watch him sidewise. "So what do you need?" ... * Kaede raises his head again and still speaks down the hall, though the tone is directed at Kyon. 'Since when do you care?" * Katie looks at Kyon, then Kaede, and back. And then Satoshi, because he's probably feeling left out. * Satoshi looks at Katie. "You want to head to my place? They can catch up." * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Since you stopped being able to walk down the hallway at a pace resembling a normal person?" * Kaede turns back and gives Kyon a faint smirk. "But I always do that." I'd- I mean, we can, but. Well, if you'd rather wait, we can do that. Just... wondering how long this is going to take. * Katie smiles a little. "They can't talk on the way there. Kyon likes his motorcycle." She pauses as she thinks about that, then shakes her head. * Kaede walks back towards Kyon and stands a couple of feet away from him, still smirking. He's looking Kyon in the eyes and it looks like he's checking them over again. * Satoshi pictures Kaede riding double with Kyon and actually grins for a second. * Kyon shakes his head quickly, and gestures towards Kaede with one hand. "Right. Always did act like doom was coming. Just not that hard." * Kaede lets out a sigh and takes a step back, rolling his kaban over his back. He then looks back up at Kyon and gives him a faint smile. "You're a hard one to figure out." * Kaede adjusts his glasses and loses the smile immediately before turning to Satoshi and Katie. "You coming?" * Kyon smirks. "My strong point." * Katie nods. "Yeah." * Satoshi stands up. "Yeah, we're coming." He holds out a hand for Katie. Because he's polite. Katie, would you have a problem if I went to the hospital first though? I know you don't want people...disappearing alone. * Katie takes it and stands fully. She looks at Kaede and blinks once. If- I mean, if you really want to. But... * Katie starts to say something, then switches and finishes with, "Just be careful." * Kaede takes another sigh and adjusts his glasses, looking up at her. "I will." * Kaede takes out his cell and flips up the top, showing it to Katie, then flips it back down, slipping it in his pocket. "Call if you're worried." * Satoshi lets go of Katie's hand once she's up. * Katie nods, letting out a sigh. "All right." She seems momentarily panicked as Satoshi lets go, then relaxes again. I'll call when I get there safely. We'll see you it a bit, then. * Kaede steps out towards the exit of the school and puts his hands in his pockets, making his way out to get his bike. * Satoshi turns back to Katie. "Shall we?" * Katie watches him go. "Yeah." And I think you've been there before, Kyon, so you know how to get there. * Kyon jams his hands in his pockets. "Right. Not hard to get to." See you there, then. * Satoshi heads out, matching his pace to Katie's. * Katie goes, too. She glances back at Kyon, nervously. * Kyon adjusts his bag, and stalks off the other way, pulling out his cell phone as he goes and calling up Chikako. Kyon gave me a phone. * Satoshi blinks. "You didn't have one before? Oh, yeah, that's right. You borrowed mine. Well. That was nice of him." [Satoshi's phone rings.] * Satoshi picks up. "Hello?" * Katie is about to say more, then blinks at Satoshi. "Hey, Kaede. Maybe? Thanks for letting us know, though. We really appreciate it." * Satoshi hangs up. He's there? Yep. * Katie nods. "Okay. Um... yeah, I didn't have a phone, so Kyon got me one. You should probably know the number." Good idea. What is it? * Satoshi pokes through menus until he reaches the directory entry. * Katie opens her satchel and looks through it, pulling out the phone. She sounds a little embarrassed, "I can't remember yet." It's a slim thing, with a camera and a blackbird ornament hanging from it. * Katie pokes around some until she finds the number and shows it to Satoshi. * Satoshi looks at it. "Cute phone." He enters the number into his directory. I guess. * Katie blinks. "I never thought of phones as cute." [You start the journey to Satoshi's place. It takes a while.] [Either way, Session End, so we don't clutter up the log with parentheses.]
