[Meanwhile, Taki's on the roof of Sakuragaoka, looking for Saki. She's not here, though. Hrm.] [Start] * Taki calls out Saki's name, and then as an after thought adds Ryuji's as well. She glances around as she waits for an answer. Since there isn't one she glances at the paper Haruko gave her and then runs for the stairs down. Assuming Saki isn't there either she'll poke her head out the next door down an call again. [Doesn't seem to be.] (What floor is the kendo room on?) ( It's in the gym. ) * Taki listens for a bit and then sighs and repeats the process untill she gets to the ground floor or gets a response from Saki. [The school is dark and quiet. Very quiet. Very dark, too. Taki can't see much of anything here.] * Taki wishes she'd taken that glowstick when Haruko had offered, but there's not much she can do about it now except panick and she's saving that for when she finds !Saki. When she gets outside she heads for the gym which is also dark and mysterious and too too quiet. [Sure is.] * Taki pushes the door open and calls out. "Saki? Ryuji? Are you in here?" [No answer.] * Taki squints down at the list and tries to read it. She shakes her head twice and then tries to make out the directions to the graveyard. [Taki has trouble, what with it being hard to read. But she thinks she can do it... Maybe.] * Taki closes her eyes and thinks about how much she wants to be at a spot she thinks she recognises on the the directions and hopes for the best. (Any penalties?) ( Gimme a tele roll at +1 ) (... I think I made it) [Taki arrives! But nobody's there!] * Taki checks her watch instinctively, and then shakes her head when she remembers it wouldn't work anyway. She runs off in the direction Haruko wrote and hopes to hit a land mark soon. ( Awareness check, +1 ) (DR 1) (Missed by 1) ( K. ) [Taki notices nothing out of the ordinary. [Save everything that's already out of the ordinary.] (Does she notice anything that makes it seem like she's at least headed in the right direction?) ( Nope! ) * Taki goes on for what seems like too far and then stops and tries to read the directions again. "It has to be here." ( Awareness, +1! ) (Missed by 3!) [Nope!] * Taki turns around and runs back the way she came, still looking for her turn. [Taki finally finds it!] * Taki groans and reminds herself to make sure Haruko writes neater next time. She holds up the directions again to get a bit of light and to what her next turn is and if there's a clue as to how far it is. [Taki finds the graveyard. Or at least, a graveyard.] * Taki calls out. "Saki? Are you here?" [No answer.] * Taki walks in and tries to look around while calling out again. [Still no answer. It seems empty.] (How big is the place?) ( Not that big. Japanese usually cremate their dead. ) * Taki looks for signs of people having been here recently. [None!] * Taki rubs her face and then lowers her hand to do some finger counting. "Okay... they're probably not at the arcade... The other Saki is the one that shows up at the construction site and the cards said she's probably at the bridge anyway... I wish I knew where they lived. And that I had some light.... I shoulda taken Haruko's glowstick." (Mind roll to remember a place that might stock them? Or gas lanterns?) ( Uhhhhhhh..... ) ( Ok. ) (She has no light and it's hard to see, and if the only ones that work are the ones we bring with us, that's something to know) (I am the win) [Taki remembers a place! Sly's Random Junk would have then.] * Taki goes to Sly's Random Junk! She hopes. * Taki does! [She does! Does she get what she's looking for? Find out next time!] [Session End!]
