[Day: Thursday, April 21th. Time: 3:30 p.m.] [Weather: Rainy and Chilly] [It's the same day as last session! You're still hanging out at the lockers. Not Kaede, though. He went home. The GM is so lost at this point.] [Session Start] * Taki is at the lockers, physically anyway. She curled up and fell asleep without even bothering to notice that her ~boyfriend wasn't there. * Katie glances at Taki. "I know she gets tired, but that's crazy." * Kyon looks down at her as well, and shrugs quickly. "Got to get her up somehow." Later, when she has to. I think she needs sleep more now. [Kyon's phone rings!] * Kyon shoves his hand into his jacket pocket, and tugs out the phone. He flips it open, checking who it is first. "Yeah?" [It's probably Satoshi!] ( But it turned out to be Dr. Phil ) "Hey, got your message. Haruko and I just gone done cleaning. Where are you guys?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. * Kyon presses himself up against the locker. "The lockers." "Okay, we'll be there in a few." * Kyon nods quickly. "Yeah." He flips the phone shut again, and sticks it back in his pocket. * Katie stretches and rolls her right wrist a little, then goes back to her sketch. * Kyon looks down the hall for a second, and then takes the phone out again, stabbing a couple of buttons and then holding it to his ear. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets a natural 11 for a result of 11. (dr) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Haruko (2d6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 6. * Kyon leans his head back against the lockers. "Hey. It's me." 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-6) and gets a natural 5 for a result of -1. * Kyon shrugs quickly. "No problem. Already got it rescheduled. Where are you now?" * Katie spares Kyon a glance, but she's back to her drawing in short order. * Kyon looks down the hall to see if anyone interesting's around now, and nods quickly. "Right. Got time for now?" ( /me ponders... Something interesting, huh? ) * Kyon shrugs tersely. "Just got a fast question or two. Can just ask over the phone. That easier?" ([Makoto and Makoto run by without their clothes, being chased by a teacher]) [Ken is around! Him and two of his jock buddies. They're laughing about what a nerd Hirokazu is.] (Careful, or he'll pull out his rocket launcher power!) * Katie rolls her eyes at their jokes. That one was *really* dumb. [Junichiro Fujishima is also walking down the hallway, nowhere near Ken and co. When he spots Taki, he blushes and looks at the interesting ceiling.] (I have totally blanked on who that is.) * Kyon doesn't seem all that interested by him at all. He just glances over him as he waits for Chikako to decide. ( Hockey team guy. ) (Ahh, right) (Junichiro is on the hockey team and has a crush on Taki.) (Satoshi could tell him that she's available!) (Before he tells Taki, yes. ;p) (Of course.) [Heck, while we're at it, Riko Tokuzawa appears with Maki Tomika! While you none of you were looking, those two seem to have become pretty good friends. But that doesn't stop Riko from glancing up long enough to give Kyon the Evil Eye.] ( I've told you like five times. Huh? What? *Yawn* What were you saying?) ( I have to reuse these characters every so often to keep the copyright on them. ) * Haruko arrives with Satoshi! She looks over to Riko as she walks up and waves. "How's it going?" * Kyon looks out the window. "You ever hear of Hiromi Nekotani?" * Taki sleeps on oblivious to all. * Kyon looks back coolly at Riko. Nothing to pick fights while he's on the phone just now. [Riko looks up and waves. "Hey, Haruko." So does Maki! She says the exact same thing so I'm not going to repeat it even though explaining that actually takes longer.] How's it going? Win any matches lately? * Haruko also waves to Maki. [Riko shakes her head. "No, but we've got one against Tokugawa coming up soon. I'm looking forwards to teaching those preppy pansies how to fight."] * Kyon rolls his eyes over Haruko's conversation, and continues. "Right. Hear anything drug-related recently otherwise?" [Maki grins. "Riko is so cool! Don't you think?"] [Riko blushes and chuckles. "You think so?" * Haruko grins. "Definitely. Good luck! When's the match? If I'm free I'll root you on. Tokugawa could use the lesson." [Riko snickers. "Thanks. It's in two weeks."] * Haruko makes a note of that. "Cool. Good seeing both of you, I won't hold you." (So, sometime in late 2007) * Kyon closes his eyes. "Right. How about Saki Morikawa? Hear anything about her recently?" ["Good to see you, too. Hey, we're going to get a coffee. Wanna come?"] * Haruko looks tempted but shakes her head. "Friend of mine is in trouble. She's helped me out in a jam a few times so I owe this to her." ["Oh." Maki nods. "Okay, see you later." They wave and head out.] You have my number right? Give me a call next time. ::She gives the information if they don't have it:: * Kyon shakes his head quickly. "Need to ask her a few questions, and can't turn her up. Thought maybe you'd have heard something." * Kyon opens his eyes and glances down at Katie. "Yeah, I have. Still in the game. Want me to pass along a message?" * Haruko waves good bye, waits a few moments, and then rejoins the group. * Katie looks back at Kyon. * Katie also looks a bit surprised. * Kyon closes his eyes again, and leans back. "Bet she'd want to hear from you, though. And I don't think she's any scarier than me." [Loud footsteps reach your ears as Yorihisa jogs down the hall, completely ignoring you as he passes. He has his laptop tucked under one arm.] 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 1. * Haruko glances over as Yorihisa passes. She resists the urge to put a puddle in his way. [He tosses open the front door and runs out of the school.] * Taki mumbles incoherently as Yorihisa passes, but doesn't wake all the way up, and quickly goes still again. [Failing to take to his example, the rest of you just stand there dumbly as the Nine of Pentacles Monster darts through the hall behind him and pauses to strip your flesh from your bones. BAD END!] * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Think just saying something and reestablishing contact would be a good point. But when you're ready." [Or ok, maybe that doesn't happen.] * Katie furrows her brow a little. * Haruko bites her lip and walks over to Katie. She quietly says, "Hi." * Katie closes her sketchbook and carefully packs her pencils away. "Hi." [And then the dreaded Nine of Pentacles Monster eats them both. BAD END!] [Ok, that doesn't happen either.] * Kyon nods quickly. "Right. See you later on?" [But I'm dying to use a Nine of Pentacles monster D:] (*blocks with the 10 of Swords) * Kyon closes up the phone thoughtfully, and looks down at Katie again as he stuffs his phone away. * Katie sighs. She's missing out. ( You mean Taki? :P ) * Kyon looks up at Haruko coolly. "Who?" That was Chikako, right? [And for the heck of it, Izumi Hanagawa also appears and comes down the hall, attempting to attract as little attention as possible.] * Taki pays no attention to Izumi! [Just the reaction she had hoped for!] * Kyon nods quickly. "Yeah." He smirks. "Eavesdropping?" (We just saw Izumi's brother, right?) * Katie just puts her sketchbook away. * Haruko looks back at Kyon. "Of course." * Haruko smiles. "You're quite capable of seeking privacy when you want it." * Kyon shrugs quickly. "Yeah. Nothing big, anyway." * Katie leans forward and folds her hands, looking at the cracks in the tile. ( Wrong Izumi ) ( Oh, is this, uh, the archer?) ( That's Remi ) ( This is the kendoist ) ( Oh, the one interested in Ryuji?) ( Yep ) * Haruko notices Izumi. She first considers pointedly ignoring her, then changes tactics realizing that ignoring someone who wants to be ignored makes for a poor snub. * Haruko smiles sweetly and nods at the passing girl. "Hi Izumi." * Kyon shrugs quickly, and looks down. "Can keep working on her." * Haruko nods at Kyon's comment and keeps watching Izumi for the moment. I'd try to talk to her, but she's busy. * Kyon smirks. "Doesn't stop me. You could try." [Izumi freezes, looks back, squeaks out a "H-h-hi." And hurries on her way before you can strike up a conversation.] * Haruko waves at her back. "Talk to you later!" * Haruko then loses the cheery smile and looks over to the group. Yeah, but Arisu... * Kyon stretches his back against the locker, and keeps the smirk. "Excuses? Pushing it, there." Mmm. * Katie stands, picking up her sketchbook. She turns to look at Kyon. "" * Kyon shrugs quickly. "" * Katie pats Kyon on the arm. "" She lets it drop and heads farther into the school, towards the newspaper office. * Taki sleeps on. * Haruko watches that interchange and shrugs. Once Katie's off she looks to Kyon. "What happened with the drug dealer? Eriko wants an update." * Kyon rolls his shoulders after she does it, brushing his arm against the lockers as he does, and looks to Haruko. "Obviously connected to drugs, but not ready to crack the first time. Going to contact her later again." He smirks. "She wants a date." * Haruko laughs. "Well, who wouldn't. Any read on her card or powers?" * Kyon nods quickly. "Two of Wands. No powers yet that she's shown me." * Haruko nods and gets out her phone to text that to Eriko. "That should calm Eriko down for the moment. Sounds like they aren't making real progress on her side. But she has to do something." * Kyon nods quickly. "Tell her I should have more within the next day. Maybe two; got Chikako for tonight." * Haruko nods and does so. "Cool. Well, while you're doing that, I was going to go talk to the Jackals with Kaede. Where'd he go?" * Kyon gestures curtly towards the door. "His shop. Got to get ready for your date Jackal-hunting." He smirks. Ah his--date? * Haruko looks up at Kyon for clarification. Perhaps she misheard. * Kyon waves his hand dismissively. "Just seeing if your reaction was as good as his when the Page said it. I was right, his was more amusing." * Haruko nods, reassured. "That reminds me, if you get a chance, could you do a reading on finding Norishige? Obviously not a priority, but I'm not sure I'll be able to get a hold of him any other way." [Session End!]
