[Day: Wednsday, April 6th. Time: 3:45 p.m.] [Weather: Sunny and cool.] [Taki is standing in the hallway. Haruko was there, but she suddenly remembered something she had to do right away, and ran off to do it. So Taki is there.] [Session Start!] (Haruko say when she was coming back?) ( Nope! ) * Taki yawn, and then starts twords the school library. Yearbooks are books and books are in the library after all. [Taki's phone rings!] * Taki stops walking and digs out her phone, she stares at it for a moment before hitting the button to pick up the call an holds it up, "Hello?" "Taki?" * Taki blinks and then blushes a bit before cheerfully speaking into her phone, "Satoshi! I ... uh... sorry about missing both practices." "Did I stick the note about this afternoon in the wrong locker or something?" ( XD ) ( You did now XD ) (Heee. ;p) I... don't know, I wasn't exactly paying attention when I got my things out... So uhm... what are you going to do now? "Well, uh, we couldn't do all that much without our goalie, so we ended early. What are you and the rest of the group doing?" * Taki looks down, "Sorry about that... Katie and Kaede went to go ask the fortu...Saori if she could find where Tenjirou is, and me and Haruko were going to check the school yearbooks to try and find out who some of the other people on that website Katie was on were, but then Haruko remembered some project her club was working on and ran off so it's just me now. Where are you?" "At the rink. You want me to meet you back at school and help you check yearbooks?" * Taki starts to speak, "I'll com..." and then trails off and swallows before continuing, "Yes, please." "Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can. See you then." Thankyou. [Suddenly (actually, it's not really suddenly, but takes a while) Satoshi is there!] * Taki is in the library, or more specifically sitting in front of one of it's computers with a copy of last years yearbook in her lap and the site on the screen. It looks like she was diligently at work until she put her head on her crossed arms and fell asleep. * Satoshi walks into the library and looks around. He sees Taki in front of the computer, napping, so he quietly pulls a chair over next to where she is, sits, and then gently taps her on the shoulder. "Time to wake up." * Taki murmurs something, but doesn't otherwise react. * Satoshi ponders something for a second, then squeezes her shoulder gently. * Taki rubs one of her arms against her eyes without sitting up, "'snot morning yet." No, but it is still pretty early in the day. You okay? You've been really tired lately. Huh? Satoshi? When'd ..? Just got here. * Taki sits up and doesn't quite tip the book out of her lap, "Yeah, I'm okay... I've just been overdoing it... I didn't used to that more than once or twice a month... and ever since I meet all of you hardly a day has gone by, so I'm gonna cut back and sleep more..." Yeah, you need to take care of yourself. Sorry you've been our private taxi service so much lately. * Satoshi gives her another gentle squeeze on the shoulder. * Taki smiles up at him, "It was fun, and you needed me too, but for right now everybody is going to walk." * Satoshi nods and smiles back. "It'll be good for us." He then checks to see if Taki has the yearbooks with her. * Taki has it in her lap and it's currently open to a page of last years seniors. (Got the website up as well, or not yet?) (It's one the computer, she'd gotten to work before she fell asleep) So how's progress? * Taki shakes her head, "I haven't found anybody yet." Hmmm... * Satoshi looks at the computer screen. ( Gimme mind rolls. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6) and gets 9. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 11. [No luck!] (Did Katie go to this school last year?) (I don't think so. Ard?) ( Nope ) (Don't think she did. Started this school year.) * Satoshi scrolls through the pictures. "None of these people look familiar." * Satoshi glances down at the yearbooks from time to time and double-checks with Taki. Nobody... wait that can't be right, Katie was up there... I mean aside from her. And she wasn't here last year. * Taki blinks "She wasn't? Oh... I didn't know." Nope, she transferred in this school year. * Taki closes the book, "I'm going to go get the one from two years back... I guess if there's nobody in there either we'll walk to one of the other schools and try there." * Satoshi nods. "Sounds good to me." * Taki stands up and carries the book back to the shelf where she got it and comes back a moment later with another book. (Satoshi's a senior right?) (Second year.) (Haruko and Kyon are third years.) (So, they're seniors.) (Yeah. Taki's first year, Satoshi, Katie and Kaede are second, Haruko and Kyon third.) * Taki opens it up and looks for Haruko's freshman picture, because she can. ( I don't think they take pictures of Freshmen >.> ) (have you ever seen a highschool yearbook? Everybody is in there.) (It depends on the school.) (But in US high schools, some do and some don't, so it's not unheard of to have them in there.) ( I'm gonna rule not. NOT! ) * Taki doesn't look up Haruko's or Satoshi's pictures then and just scrolls back to the top of the page and looks for seniors! (In which case, looking in the yearbooks is less useful as we wouldn't have the current second-years' pictures at all.) (Although we do still have people from previous years who've graduated.) (Can we tell the average age of the people on the website? Are they all high school age, or are some college age, or can we not tell at all?) ( Actually... Haruko might be in the yearbook as a senior. o.O ) ( But the book probably isn't out yet. ) (Right. It depends on when they come out.) (This years is out already? o_o) (So last year's book would have Kyon and Haruko. This year's would have them as well as Katie, Kaede and Satoshi, but it's probably not out yet.) [The people on the site generally seem between 15 and 23. At least, the ones posted by this user.] (Taki gets no yearbook pictures! None!) * Satoshi tries to compare the pictures on the site against the ones in the yearbook. * Taki is also looking for matches. [None seem to match.] * Satoshi sits back and sighs. "We probably can't go back too much further. The photos'll become too out of date." ( Gimme another mind roll, at... +1 ) * Taki sighs and slumps in her chair, "Seemed so easy when Haruko came up with it.." 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+1) and gets 5. 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6+1) and gets 10. Maybe Haruko's just better at recognizing people? I hope so... [Taki notices on the site, a name she vaguely recognizes: Yuki Ijima. She's never seen the person in the photo before, though: A rather plain looking girl in a turtle-neck sweater. But the name stands out.] * Taki blinks and taps the screen over Yuki's name, "...She... I think I've heard her name somewhere..." * Satoshi looks. "Doesn't sound familiar to me. Can you remember where you've heard of her?" (Brett?) ( Mind roll at... +4 ) 2d6+4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6+4) and gets 16, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Hey, a failure. Oh, by the way... I heard what you've been saying about me." [She's a famous movie star!] (Never mind the fact that I'd have to get the other crit to make that roll) * Taki looks up as she thinks, "... In the credits to a movie?" A movie? * Taki nods, "Yeah, I think that was it." So her name sounds familiar because there's an actress with the same name? * Taki looks at the picture agian, "...maybe that's her?" and then sighs. Probably not. We could ask Akemi, maybe, but I think it's just a coincidence. Still... * Satoshi pulls out a notebook and a pen and writes her name down. "We could get Kaede to double-check, too." It can't hurt. Worse comes to worse, she only sounds familiar because of the actress. * Taki nods, "Call him after we try... uhm... Serizawa maybe?" Sure, but do you think we've got enough time to get over there today? * Taki checks her watch. (Time check!) [4:30] (schools usually shuts down around what 5:30-6?) ( About that. ) * Taki holds her arm up so Satoshi can see the watch and the bracelet that he gave her, "Just enough time, see?" * Satoshi smiles. "Okay, then. Let's go!" * Taki closes the browser window and then stands up, "Right." [And they go off to Serizawa! End!]
