[Day: Tuesday, April 5th. Time: 2:50 p.m.] [Weather: Cloudy but warm.] * Kaede has joined #arcana [You gather at the lockers for some unknown reason. Possibly to change your books, but whatev'.] [Session Start] * Haruko approaches on crutches. She's not that fast as she hasn't mastered them. * Satoshi is at his locker as usual. "Afternoon, Haruko. Do you need any help?" * Haruko smiles slightly at Satoshi. "Good afternoon, and yes, I'd be grateful if you could get my clipboard from my backack. Want to be sure I'm not forgetting anything. Sure thing. * Satoshi goes over and carefully gets the clipboard. He holds it so she can see it. "This it?" * Taki walks up the hall slowly, and while there arn't any obvious signs of her having taken a nap on her desk, it's happened several times before. * Haruko nods and positions herself by the wall, and then reaches out carefully with one hand to take it. * Satoshi makes sure Haruko has the clipboard before letting go. Then he waves to Taki and smiles. "Afternoon, Taki." * Haruko smiles at Taki too. "Hi." * Taki smiles up at Satoshi, "hey Satoshi, Haruko... how's your leg?" Not so bad so long as I don't put too much weight on it. * Taki nods, "that's good to hear... I I'm going to learn how to control that as soon as I can stay awake through class." Yeah, you were really tired at practice this morning. You know, after a night like we had, you're allowed to skip or come late. I'm certainly not going to force you to come. * Haruko nods and looks over her clipboard. Thanks Satoshi, I'll remember that, but I want to get better before the next game. * Satoshi smiles. "I'm glad that you're so into it." * Katie comes walking down the hall! She's looking all right. Definitely better than Haruko. She stops in the distance, staring for a moment, then finishes walking the rest of the way. It's fun, before you the only team sports I played were the ones I had to during P.E. * Haruko looks up to Katie. "Afternoon. You get the notes from Kaede?" You've got a lot of talent. * Satoshi waves to Katie. "Afternoon, Katie." * Kaede comes shortly after Katie, a neutral expression on his face. He goes straight for his locker. * Taki nods and then turns and looks at Katie, who's gotten here before Kaede for once... "Oh, hi Katie... how was the movie?" * Katie smiles wanly. "It was okay." She checks everyone's eyes, then fixes her gaze on Haruko. Okay, when Taki said you got scraped up? I didn't think that meant you can't walk. (Fell ... off... motercycle...) * Haruko looks back. "Well, I can flow at least. And I could if I had to, it just hurts a lot." * Satoshi waves to Kaede as well. (Scraped up != can't walk! >_<) Now I'm picturing you going to classes in a pitcher. * Taki starts to greet Keade, but she starts giggling halfway through it. * Haruko grins. "I think people would get tired of carrying me around after a while." She then give Satoshi a grateful look. * Satoshi snickers. * Katie doesn't miss that. She also doesn't comment. * Katie commences with the time-honored tradition of opening her locker and changing books. * Satoshi looks slightly sheepish. "Well, you probably preferred that to a bucket." Well, we're here. I'd like to talk to Ryuji. And we should talk to the computer club president. Or me dropping you on the ground... and yeah. * Haruko nods and giggles slightly. "I don't know, I think I'd just feel naked in a pitcher. It's see-through." * Kaede rolls his eyes and goes about his business of book swapping * Satoshi blinks once, then looks embarassed. "Haruko, please stop." * Haruko looks slightly disappointed at Satoshi but nods. She looks over to Katie and Kaede. "So, want to come with me when I talk to Ryuji or should I meet up with you after?" * Katie doesn't miss a beat. This is Haruko, after all. "What are you going to talk about?" Tease him untill he reacts? * Haruko looks embarrassed at Taki's comment, she then focuses on Katie. "Takeo is hunting the one who killed Shingo, he hasn't figured it out yet. I'd also like to see if he'd want to come with us when we have the time to go talk to the Jackals." Ryuji? Mmmm... * Kaede closes his locker and thinks. * Haruko looks to Kaede. She waits for him to formulate his thought. * Taki studies her shoes. * Satoshi sighs. * Haruko looks back to Taki with a slight smile. "Nothing to be embarrassed about for getting payback for your boyfriend." * Haruko then looks back to Kaede. Aheh. * Taki doesn't look up at Haruko, "I still shouldn't have done it... I'm the reason Kyon's bike..." I think you can do that. It doesn't really take three of us to tell him something so simple. * Satoshi puts an arm around Taki and gives her a comforting squeeze. * Haruko keeps the smile. "You're already doing your best to figure out how to control it, right?" * Katie closes her locker and leans against it, sighing. * Taki nods and looks up after Satoshi hugs her, "All I know is that it doesn't work at home, and only sometimes when I'm with the rest of you... And who's going to the computer club, and the hospital and.. uhm... what else do we need to do?" * Haruko nods and smiles. "Keep at it, and keep track of how you feel, so long as you try you have nothing to be sorry for." We need to talk to the Jackals sometime, and we need to find him. Tenjirou. And the computer club president. We need to figure out what is up with him. * Kaede 's lips thin. "Yes. Yes we do." * Taki shivers and clenches her hands into fists after Katie talks, "Yes... yes we do." We really do. But I'm not sure where to start. I'm not even sure where I was. * Haruko nods. "I think we discuss how exactly we're going to do that once we talk to the club president. He'll likely have a hostage or take other measures. We need to be ready. And I'll get headed over to the Kendo club." We investigate the other girls on the site, we find if he's been going to school, we get a reading. I don't think we should wait. * Kaede closes his eyes. "We have the address. We just cross reference it with phone records or licenses. Can't Kaede check the school records to find out where he lives? Okay then, get to planning and researching. Where should I meet you? * Kaede snorts. "Yorihisa you mean? Yeah. But what about where Katie was found?" I can get back there... * Haruko nods. "Also check the hospital records. There may be other Arcana healers, but if there aren't he'll need serious care." Okay, stop. Stop. Let's put these things in order of most importance to least and figure out just what we can do at the same time. * Haruko looks oddly at Katie. "Alright. Tenjirou first. Hospital, kidnapping site, other girls. That doesn't work get a reading." Kaede can look for things other places too. Yeah, but checking hospital records and looking into the girls will take some time. * Katie nods to Haruko. "I'm glad you agree. So, you can talk to Ryuji and give him deadly warnings. Maybe get him to go on another date with you, all for the good of the group." She looks to Kaede. "You can really cross those things?" I don't think they would have taken Tenjirou to the hospital. He. It. Whatever it was. They may not have had a choice, unless they had a medic. Maybe by that point he didn't think Tenjirou was worth it. Look, if I can pull a bullet out of someone's chest, there's no thinking someone else can't do something like that. Then he's dead. We make sure and move on. You're experienced with first aid. It's worth checking. * Taki nods, "...I hope he is." Anyways, call... no, message me when you decide were I should meet you. * Haruko gets hobbling to the Kendo room. * Taki looks at Katie and then at Kaede, "...I guess I'm going to that house... Where do you want to start?" * Kaede nods to Katie. "It shouldn't be too hard. Addresses are usually linked to names somehow. It's just a matter of finding out how." * Katie watches Haruko go for a moment, then says hesitantly, "Does someone want to go with her?" * Haruko looks back. "I can handle it alon... I should be fine. No one should come with me if they can be productively used otherwise." ...If she's going to go talk to Ryuji... I think anybody else would just get in the way... Most likely * Haruko looks to Katie. "I get worried, I run for the nearest drain. Good enough?" * Katie shrugs. "Fine. Go ahead." She looks away and says, much more quietly, "Which is why she asked us to go in the first place." * Taki looks at Katie, "I won't force you to go back... but you tend to notice things that everybody else misses." * Haruko turns and starts hobbling again. I'll go. Thankyou Katie. I want to see this place too when I'm not fighting for someone's life. * Taki nods slowly. * Taki looks up at Satoshi, "What do you want to do?" I'll stick with Katie and Kaede, I think. * Taki blinks, "I thought Kaede was going to the computer lab." Well, he's got his laptop right here with him, doesn't he? Of course. Why wouldn't I? * Taki nods, "Yeah... but it doesn't make much sense for him to go to that house with it to look stuff up when he could do it here, right? Or am I getting ahead of myself?" I think you're getting ahead of yourself. I don't see how it matters. Oh... It doesn't...and it'd help keep me informed on what you guys find there as I check so we can cooberate. [Session End!]
