* Haruko leads Eriko over and then turns to her. "Katie's been kidnapped, or is 
going to be and we can't prevent it. Saki can help us find her, and Hirokazu 
will provide us the means." She then takes a breath and looks down before 
glances back up at Eriko.
<Brett> Eriko looks towards the others, then back to Haruko. "Him? You've got to 
be joking."
* Haruko nods. "According to the Heirophant. I don't claim to understand it, but 
I'll try to figure out what he can do." She hesitates for just a moment. "He's 
an Arcana, a lech, but not a bad person all told. But is there something more to 
him?"
<Brett> Eriko chuckles. "Like some deep dark forgotten past? Nah, with him, what 
you see is what you get."
* Haruko nods. "So there's nothing else you can tell me? He always seemed 
special to you. I'm taking him on as a mechanic apprentice and he does keep me 
amused and is sort of fun, but I always thought you might have some special, 
platonic, connection or something."
<Brett> Eriko shrugs. "He's an okay guy, like you said.  Smart and dumb at the 
same time.  Way the hell better than I'll ever be with computers, likes to try 
new things... There's not much to him, really."
* Haruko nods. "Thank you." She then gets a slightly odd smile. "Guys are lucky 
you're looking after them. They might have more problems if you didn't care."
<Brett> Eriko stares at Haruko. "I know the guy, yeah, might even say he's my 
friend, but I doubt I care that much."
* Haruko shrugs good naturedly. "Doesn't take that much. Thanks, sorry I 
pushed."
<Brett> Eriko shrugs.
* Haruko turns to walk back to the group. She doesn't emphasize the fact that 
she said guys in plural form earlier.
