[Day: Saturday, February 8th. Time: 2:50 p.m.] [Weather: Snow on the ground, but otherwise clear. It's overcast, but not much chance of rain.] [Yesterday, Taki joined the hockey team! And Kyon didn't have a fight with his self-proclaimed arch-nemesis. And Ken acted like a jerk. And they ate.] (there are some other ones I need to get as well, I was planning to get them tomarrow from school, but I just realized that I no longer have the URL) [Today, they gather around the lockers! Except Kaede and Katie. What could this mean?] [Session Start] * Haruko looks strangely contented and leans against a locker with her hands behind her head. [Oh, there's Katie after all. Guess she wasn't that late.] * Kyon leans against the wall opposite the lockers, his bag at his feet, still wearing the dark orange leather jacket. He's looking down the hallway. * Satoshi finishes putting his books away, then looks around. * Katie walks down the hallway, just a little later than usual. She waves at Kyon as she walks by. "Afternoon." * Taki looks up from where she was sitting with a few of her books spread out in front of her, "Afternoon Katie." * Kyon nods coolly to Katie, then looks down the hall the other way. * Katie grins at Taki as she goes about opening her locker. "How is English going?" * Haruko opens her eyes at the sound of Katie's voice 'Hey Katie.' She then resumes chilling with her eyes shut as Taki and Katie talk. [Satoshi spots a note in his locker!] Hmm? What's this? * Satoshi takes the note and begins reading it. ...Wait that's backwards isn't it? * Taki starts digging for her notes. * Kaede's note reads: "Sorry, guys, but I may be a little late catching up with you. I have a few things to take care of. If something important comes up, go ahead and call. I'm sure I gave Sato my cell number. Signed, Kaede." * Satoshi walks up to Katie and Taki. "Heya! How's it going? Kaede left me a note, says he's gonna be a little late today." He waves the note. * Katie nods. She flips open a notebook and jots down a few quick words in English, handing it to Taki. "" she says, pointing at each word in turn. "You might want to put in front, too." And I left the subject out... Any clue as to where we're supposed to meet him? * Katie nods at Satoshi. "Okay." He said we could call if he needed him. I've got his cell number. And we always seem to end up finding each other, anyway. Must be an Arcana thing. That's good. * Taki watches Katie and then nods, "" ( Nah. That's just Amazing Coincidence. ) * Katie laughs. "Arcana sense?" She grins at Taki. "" (Amazing Coincidence = Fortune.) * Kyon picks up his bag and crosses over to the lockers. He leans against the locker two down from Katie's again. (::looks around for the wheel of fate:: Chii-kaa-koo?) (wheel of fortune, how'd I get that wrong?) * Haruko hums something quietly to herself and taps her left foot in a manner vaguely approximating a beat. * Katie looks at Kyon through the corner of her eyes and grins. "Just a little closer, and we can spring our evil trap to catch the VP." You brought the net? Actually, that's Taki's job now. Shh. He might be listening! * Haruko giggles at the discussion. Aren't I supposed to protect the net? Not use it. * Kyon looks over Katie, and smirks. "Not the evil trap type. And I can hear you perfectly from here." No, that's Satoshi- aww, now you did it. He heard us. Next time we should have a locker blind to hide behind. We could draw him into that trap using one of his many nemeses, they never seem hard to find. ^_^ * Katie finishes swapping books and slams her locker shut. You have a point there. Nah, Katie, I'm a center, not a defenseman. Or defenseperson. * Taki nods, "But then we'd have to find one that won't attack us too." * Katie turns and smiles innocently at Kyon. "Why, Kyon! What a nice surprise. Didn't see you over there." * Satoshi snickers. * Kyon raises an eyebrow. "Sure. And I don't see you ever coming to my locker. Not standing attentive at yours shouldn't bother you." Did I say it bothered me? * Kyon shrugs disinterestedly. "Seemed implied. Doesn't matter." Exactly, which is why you mentioned it. * Haruko grins at Katie's comment, but keeps her mouth shut. * Kyon smirks, and shrugs again. "You want to pretend that my life is you, and that I should come stand over with you every time, you can. But it doesn't matter, either way." * Katie frowns. "" Yes! I think I actualy understood what you said! I am going to pass! [Zooom! Chikako arrives with dust clouds trailing behind her. "Hi everyone! I brought the paper! It's so cool!"] Heya, Chikako. Can I have one, please? * Katie breathes out a sigh, and the frown fades. She turns her attention from Kyon to Chikako. "Hi Chikako." (Yes, Satoshi will read his own paper today!) Good afternoon Chikako, can I have one too? * Chikako hands out papers. "Sure!" * Katie takes one and grins at Chikako. She has a look. * Kyon shrugs, and turns to Chikako. "Hey. Give me one?" * Satoshi begins reading the paper. * Chikako gives Kyon one, too :P * Haruko glances at Taki. "Be sure to remember the plight to us monolingual people." * Kyon looks over the front page. Hey Chikako, can I have one, please? * Taki nods, "It's no fun not understanding what people are saying." * Chikako hands a paper to Haruko. * Taki unfolds the poper and reads. I'll be alright, just let me know if I'm missing anything important. ^_^ * Haruko skims her paper. I'll try. Thanks! [The paper sez: "Hirokazu Ashikaga Revives Chess Club! Freshman Ashikaga has managed to gather enough people to restore Sakuragaoka's chess club, which had been dropped from the list of clubs three years ago due to lack of interest."] Chess. Now there's something I'm really bad at. * Katie tilts her head. "Hm." (Ashikaga was then recruited by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. ;p) [The paper goes on to describe various stuff that's not really important. But there's a picture of the guy. He's wearing a school uniform now, and there's no wrench in sight, but you can't mistake that messey hair; he's the guy who hit on Haruko and Kyon yesterday!] [... Before he turned out to be an illusion, that is :P] * Satoshi looks at the picture and blinks. "Hey, wait, isn't he...?" I think it is. The boy turned illusion, yes. * Haruko looks closer at the picture then glances at Kyon. "Well, there's our boy, guess he was more of a catch than we realized." * Kyon nods at the chess club announcement, then scowls at the picture of the guy and looks for a related article. The who turned wha...? * Chikako grins at Haruko. "You know him? Is he cool?" A pratical joke played by a freind of ours. Huh? [You can almost see the question mark appear near Chikako's head.] Oh, someone just pretended to be him and hit on Haruko and Kyon. Yep, I'm afraid we both turned the person pretending to be him down, so we don't know yet if he's cool. * Haruko makes no effort to hide the amusement in her voice. "Although chess isn't really my game, how about you Kyon?" * Kyon looks up from the paper, and shakes his head irritatedly. "I'm good at it. It's tactics, that's all." * Chikako grins. "Hey, that sounds like a cool story!" * Chikako grins wider. "An imposter. That's so cool!" * Haruko nods, "Although, we don't want to embarrass the poor boy, he wasn't the one playing the prank. Do you know anything about him Chikako?" * Chikako nods. "A bit, why?" Natural curiousity. * Kyon folds the paper up and puts it on his bag. "Maybe there's some reason they wanted to impersonate him, and not someone else." * Katie rolls up her paper and starts tapping it against her knee. * Haruko nods and giggles, "And who knows, he might be cute if he'd clean up his hair." * Taki grins. * Chikako thinks. "Well, he's the President of the soon-to-be-cool chess club, the vice president of the not-really-that-cool computer club, and I think he was looking into the mechanic club." Why's the computer club not cool? * Haruko looks surprised. "So the imposter claimed, at least about the mechanic club. Strange that I haven't met him before." (The computer club is too cool ;_;) (Compared to the baseball team? =P) The computer club, they're all a bunch of uncool perverts. (But Chikako's comparing it to the chess club :P) They are? * Chikako looks to Haruko. "Well, he hasn't joined it yet. He was just interested. If he doesn't, it's cool." Oh? Really? So if this guy in reality hits on us Kyon and I should continue to turn him down? * Katie blinks in surprise at Chikako. "I don't think I've ever heard you call someone an uncool pervert before." Well... I dunno. He might be cooler than the other members, but... he might not. * Chikako grins at Katie. "Well... Are there any cool ones?" * Haruko smiles at Chikako, "Thanks for the heads up." * Kyon looks pensive. "And why do you think that they are?" * Katie laughs. "No, but you're labeling a whole club of people as perverts. What if you're wrong?" They must have done something pretty bad to get a rep like that though.. Their project was this uncool hentai game. What am I suppose to think? * Katie blink. "A hentai game?" Urk! (*shoots the Typo Demon*) That's pretty bad, to do that sort of thing as a group project. * Chikako nods. "Uh-huh. Our super-cool principal ordered it to be cancelled, though, and suspended the entire club when he found out." Ouch. * Taki shakes her head, "What on earth made them think they could get away with something like that? ...And what sort of teacher would have accepted it anyway?" * Kyon blinks, and shakes his head. "That's not what they applied for in the club charter. Makes sense that that'd happen." Some people'll try anything. * Chikako nodnods to Kyon. "They lied about what they were going to do. It's so uncool." * Kyon nods at the paper. "And this guy's their president? So he got suspended, too?" * Haruko looks rather disturbed. "Glad the mechanics club sticks to nice wholesome things like cars and bikes." * Chikako shakes her head. "He wasn't in it at the time, so he might be cool. Might not." The only way to find out would be to talk to him, or somebody who knows him, standing here and debating won't help much. * Chikako nods. Oh! * Kyon shrugs. "If he joined this club knowing what it was about, then probably not." * Haruko continues, mostly to herself. "Admittedly, the mechanics club can be a little obsessive at times, which isn't so bad. And all of their car pictures have sexy women, which doesn't seem fair to me, but who am I to talk?" (Haruko doesn't have a bishi painted on the side of hers?) Before I forget, you know how we get Monday off? I was thinking it'd be cool if we used tomorrow to go to Disney Tokyo! Cool, huh? (Nope ;_;) D..Disney? I...I... How much does it cost to even get in? * Satoshi blinks. "We get Monday off?" Disney Tokyo? That's still open? * Kyon leans back against the locker, and nods. "Yeah, Monday's free. It's open. And I'm up for it. Never been." * Satoshi thinks. "I haven't been there in years. Not since I was really little." Well, I figured we'd go tomorrow, so we could use Monday for stuff like homework. Is that cool with everyone? * Haruko contemplates the possibility. "That would blow my entertainment fund for a few months, but theme parks are a lot of fun, sure." * Katie smiles. "Sounds fun. I'll go." If I can get the money together... * Satoshi ponders. "I can probably spare some time away from practice. So, yeah, I'm in." * Haruko frowns as she wishes to that she hadn't gotten herself ejected from all the cheap amusement parks by habitually wandering to off limit areas. * Chikako grins. "This'll be so cool!" * Kyon adjusts his armwarmer, and smirks. "Big party. You ask anyone else, Chikako? Or is it just us?" * Taki gets lost in thought as she tries to come up admission money in 24 hours. I already asked Kaede, but nobody else yet. D'you want me to ask anyone else? It'd be cool with me. * Katie blushes a little. "Um, well... I guess I could ask Taro if he wants to come." * Chikako grins. "That'd be cool." * Kyon nods, and gives Katie a bemused smirk. "Yeah. Ask him. You need more romance." * Katie tries to resist, but can't. She sticks her tongue out at Kyon. "Hey, you're going with your girlfriend. I'm allowed to ask someone, too." * Chikako checks the time. "Eep! I gotta run!" So, you'll all be there tomorrow? Cool. * Satoshi looks slightly nervous at the mention of "girlfriend." Bye Chikako! See you tomarrow...I hope. Sure. Thanks for inviting us. Err, yeah, thanks. See you then. * Chikako nodnods. "It's cool. Seeya!" She darts down the hall like a locomotive. Ok, not really. ( Choo Choo! ) * Haruko smiles to Taki. "Just entice some guy to cover your ticket. I've gotten into a fair number of autoshows that way. Only worth it if you don't mind spending time with the guy though." * Kyon shakes his head and smirks harder. "Don't care if you ask someone. Just do it with more confidence than that." [Satoshi's cell phone rings!] * Satoshi is about to say something to Taki, but then the phone rings. He answers. "Satoshi here." (Haruko, you are cruel. ;p) "Hey, it's me Kaede. Sorry I got hung up. Are you guys still around?" * Taki points to Satoshi and opens her mouth, but closes it again as he answeres the phone. "Oh, hey, Kaede. Yeah, we're at the lockers. C'mon over." [Time is 3:45, incidently] * Taki waits for the phone call to finish so she can talk agian. * Satoshi pushes a button. "That was Kaede. He's on his way." I couldn't do that! I mean I've got Satoshi right here and he's helping me with my homework mess, and teaching me hockey, so it'd be rude for me not to go with him, but at the same time I can't ask him for the money 'cause he's allready helping me with so much stuff. * Satoshi blushes. Deeply. Umm... * Katie nudges Satoshi. "" she murmurs to him. So I've got to find some other way. * Kaede comes down the hall and gives a slight wave. I... I'd be happy to buy your ticket! Honest! * Katie bites back a laugh. I'd really like it if you could go! * Haruko glances at Satoshi and then at Taki, and then blushes. * Katie waves at Kaede. * Kyon smirks at Satoshi. "Yeah. Confidence." He gives a hard laugh. Anything come up while I was busy? Sorry it took so long.. * Satoshi gives Kyon a quick glare before returning to smiling hopefully (and nervously) at Taki. Uhm...er...if you insist, but you're allready doing so much. Really, Kyon. Let people do things their own way. I don't mind! Really! * Kaede gives Kyon a slight look but doesn't say anything, turning back to Katie. * Taki turns a bit pink, "Then I'll be happy to go there with you." Great! * Kyon just smirks and shrugs before jamming his hands in his pockets. * Haruko smiles sheepishly. * Kaede leans against the lockers and takes out his notepad, flipping to a blank section and licking his pencil. * Taki looks down at her feet and then notices that her books are still on the floor. * Taki kneels down and starts to pick them up. * Satoshi kneels down next to Taki and picks up a book. * Kyon turns to Katie, and gives her a hard smile. "Bet if you run off to the fencing club now, you can find your boy." Ah...thanks Satoshi. You're welcome. * Katie checks her watch. "He's not in the fencing club, and you should know that, Mr. Fencing President." * Kaede doesn't look up from his writing, they seem to be computations. "What boy? What are you talking about?" You're right, though, I should catch him before he gets out from work. I'll see you guys later, okay? Later. Good luck! * Kaede pushes his glasses up his nose and waves absently at Katie. [Time is 4:00. Katie has hours before then :P] * Katie waves and hurries off to the exit. * Taki picks up the last of her books and stands "" * Kyon shrugs. "It's the same room." He waves at her back. * Haruko waves but keeps her mouth shut wanting to avoid another faux pas. * Kaede keeps his eyes on his pad, kind of seeming casual about the whole thing. "So what am I missing anyways?" * Kyon turns to Kaede, and smirks. "The theme park tomorrow. Find someone to go with?" * Kaede flips his pad closed and blinks, looking up at Kyon. "I have to find someone to go with?" No, but it's traditional. Well... * Kaede blushes a bit. "I guess Nanami would love to go..but I don't know if bringing her would be.." Though, I think she does want to meet you. Yeah, bring her, it'd be fun. It'd be nice to meet her, too, but it's you guys' choice. Then bring her, I think we can stay out of trouble for one day. * Kaede snerks and nods. "Alright, alright..I'll see if she wants to come..hopefully she doesn't get after me for not looking after the place." ( Someone bring Kirby ;_; ) Though, I think she'll be happy when I tell her about the festival.. * Kaede smiles a bit, and yes, it's an actual smile..it doesn't last though. * Kyon shrugs, and smirks widely. "It might imply something about your relationship, though. But if you can only bring her, go ahead." ( But we wouldn't want to cramp Kirby's style. ) * Kaede glances at Kyon calmly. "What would it imply exactly?" * Satoshi rolls his eyes at Kyon's comment. (He gets his own theme park. =P) No it doesn't! ( If this were MC. If only this were MC...! ) (Hey, guess where we're going on our next MC2 fun trip! ;p) * Haruko glares at Kyon. "Don't worry about that Kaede, I want to meet your sister and people don't always need to bring dates." * Kaede blinks oddly at Haruko. "Dates..? Is that what this is all about? Bah, a waste of time if you ask me." * Haruko giggles at that, but keeps her mouth shut. * Kaede adjusts his glasses and gets a lectury look. "A date is just an archaic fashion designed to detract from intellectual stimulation." * Haruko giggles harder and tries to politely retrain herself. Bah. We can't be intellectually stimulated all the time. Then why are you even bothering to go to the theme park? It's on giant distraction. Or, in my case, most of the time. * Satoshi grins. * Kaede glances at Satoshi. "So you prefer physical stimulation?" Yep! * Kyon raises himself up against the locker. "That means you're not dealing with the right people. You can be on dates with people who make you think." * Kaede shrugs. "To each their own I guess." I'm sure you make a LOT of people think twice Kyon. Exactly. I don't see anything wrong with being intellectual. It's just not my thing. I think Theme Parks are intellectually stimulating, so much machinery acting in tandem, course the rides are physically exciting too. Learning is all well and good, but there are other things in life, combining the two is all to the better. * Kaede nods slightly. "I enjoy studying the arcades actually too..all the programming that go into them..it's amazing." I mean, I heard they were working on a program in the computer club..I never heard what it was about though.. Erm. Let's not go there. I personally love pinball machines, aren't too common in arcades these days though. Lucky you... They'd wanted me to work on it with them..I just didn't have the time.. * Kaede sighs slightly. I like the air hockey tables. I'm sure that's a great surprise to you all. * Kyon shrugs disinterestedly, and shakes his head. "I'm sure you'd have enjoyed the project." He pushes off the lockers. Hm, I like cheap novels and hanging around with real people...and hanging aound with unreal people is also interesting. Un..real people? What an interesting way to put it.. * Kaede kneels down and sticks stuff back in his kaban. * Haruko rolls her eyes at Kyon's comment. "Better that you weren't involved with that program, it was some sort of hentai thing, students got suspended over it." * Kaede looks up slowly and sweatdrops. "Hen..tai was it?" Yeah, apparently they suspended the whole club. So says the all knowing and all hyper Chikako. * Haruko smiles at his reaction. "Yep, being busy doesn't seem quite as bad now does it?" * Kyon nods bemusedly, and rolls his shoulders. "Yeah. Not what they put in for, but it's what they did. Got them in lots of trouble. Right, too." * Kaede blushes. "I..I guess not." Strange I'd never heard of it..but no one tells me anything..guess they were still mad I turned them down.. They probably weren't going to tell anyone who wasn't in on it. * Taki nods. But..if they were going to suspend the club..I mean considering that I'm in it and all.. Speaking of telling you stuff. That illusionary guy that hit on me and Kyon yesterday was apparently based on a real person. He was in the newspaper for restarting the chess club. * Haruko offers Kaede paper, indicating the relevant article. * Kaede adjusts his glasses. "Really? How can you be sure the photograph isn't faked too though?" * Kaede looks at the article carefully, reading over it. That's him alright.. * Kaede sighs. "What does she want anyways..?" * Haruko shrugs. "It could be, but if this was an elaborate illusion why blow it yesterday? Then again, she is insane." * Kyon shrugs, and picks up his bag. "Don't know. Maybe it's worth going to the hospital and seeing." * Kaede hands back the paper and takes a deep breath. "I think so too. Go to the source." I've still yet to meet this Meimi anyhow. * Taki nods, "I'd like to meet her as well." [Someone else adds. "I'd like to meet her as well."] * Satoshi looks startled. "You never met her? She certainly seemed to know you..." * Satoshi looks for the voice. * Taki looks around. (um, first statement was directed at Taki) * Kyon looks at Taki oddly, and nods tersely, before looking over where the voice came from. * Haruko glances around. [Standing near Kyon is... a mime! Well, he looks like a mime.] * Kaede looks towards the voice too, putting his finger on the brim of his glasses. Since when do mimes talk..? Since when do mimes talk..? * Taki blinks at the mime, "Hello?" * Kaede slaps his forehead. "Wonderful..a mimic." (Ahh! It's a mime! Somebody get the flamethrower!) * Mime blinks at Taki. "Hello?" * Haruko tilts her head to the side. "Prefer to meet with us here Meimi?" * Mime tilts his head to the side. "Prefer to meet with us here Meimi?" She's..not being very helpful is she? She's..not being very helpful is she? * Kyon shakes his head irritatedly, stretches a bit, and starts walking off down the hallway. * Kaede digs through his kaban and takes out his notepad, making a gesture with it in case they want to communicate without being annoyed, or at least AS annoyed. * Haruko looks at the Mime and prays out loud. "May kami bring healing and peace to Meimi's troubled soul." * Mime shakes his head irritatedly, stretches a bit, and starts walking off down the hallway, following Kyon. * Kaede watches the mime go. "Seems she likes him." * Satoshi watches the mime follow Kyon and laughs. Seems she likes him. * Kyon doesn't look back, ignoring the mime, and heads down the stairs, on his way out of the building. I suppose we should go as well. * Mime mimics Kyon. Yeah, guess we should follow. * Satoshi follows! Yeah, no point standing around here being annoyed. * Taki follows that mime! (Yeah, we can walk around being annoyed. ^_~) * Kaede slaps his forehead. "Right..instead we follow and be annoyed." * Kaede follows Taki who's following Satoshi who's following the mime who's following Kyon. * Mime slaps his forehead. "Right..instead we follow and be annoyed." I wonder where she met a talking mime. I wonder where she met a talking mime. * Haruko shrugs and follows Kyon directly, not being one for lines. * Mime shrugs and starts following Haruko. For that matter I wonder where she met me, not that your'e going to give me a usefull answere. ::looks over at the mime:: * Kyon gets out of the building, straps his bag to the motorcycle, pulls out his helmet, puts it on, and starts it up. Who says she had to? I doubt she met that messy haired kid before..if he is real.. * Haruko continues saying prayers for Meimi's sanity as she walks. I doubt she met that messy haired kid before..if he is real.. * Satoshi keeps following... whoever. * Kaede walks up alongside Taki and whispers so the mime doesn't hear. "How are we going to get to the hospital? It'd look weird to go on the bus with a mime.." * Taki reaches the outside of the school and sees Kyon, "You're just going to go by yourself?" You're just going to go by yourself? * Taki whispers back "Unless you happen to have a handy minivan, I don't think we have any other choice." * Kyon looks over at Taki, and shrugs. "Hospital. Whichever way you want to go, you can go. See you there." * Haruko stares at the motorcycle then sadly shakes her head. "Lets go for the subway." * Mime looks over at Taki, and shrugs. "Hospital. Whichever way you want to go, you can go. See you there." * Kaede nods every so slightly, glancing at the mime for a moment then shaking his head, walking over to Haruko. "She must be really bored to do this." * Kyon guns the engine and drives off. Let's get going then. * Haruko looks at Kaede. "Well, it can't take much of her attention, she could just create the thing and let it go on autopilot." Will the mime need a ticket..? Not our problem. ^_^ Will the mime need a ticket..? * Kaede takes a deep breath. "At least that's one way to get rid of him." Let's go then. Let's go, then. * Haruko heads to the subway. * Kaede heads too. * Mime mounts the air, like a motorcycle. He gun's the not-there engine and drives off like Kyon did. * Satoshi heads there as well. * Taki sweatdrops. That...solves that problem. * Kaede does a Kyon-like smirk. "Now it's his problem, not ours." Heh. (Dude, Kaede's creeping me out.) Never do that again...please... (^_^_v) [Some time later (5:15 p.m.), they get to the hospital, where Meimi is. Incidendly, Remi's here, too.] (You just know they're going to fight at some point. =P) ( ^^ ) * Haruko whispers to Satoshi at the end of the journey. "Sorry about putting you on the spot before, I didn't realize. Lemme know if I can make it up to you." * Kaede looks at the two of them for a moment, but doesn't respond, looking at the hospital. "So which room number is she?" * Satoshi whispers back. "Oh! Um, that's okay, really. Don't worry about it." * Haruko nods at Satoshi. * Kyon parks his bike, stows the helmet, and grabs his bag. He heads into the hospital, and walks up to the front desk. "Excuse me. Can you tell me what room Remi Okui is in?" The nurse nods. "Room ... 222." I don't actualy know. ::turns to where Haruko and Satoshi are talking:: "Hey Satoshi, do you know where Meimi is?" * Haruko searches her memory, and comes up with nothing. No. I... haven't been here to see her yet. Kyon would probably remember. We could ask at the desk, I guess. * Taki nods. "Lets try that then." * Kaede rubs his chin and nods. "Right.." He walks in the front doors and looks around for the front desk. [Kaede finds it. it's in the front. Kyon's there, too.] * Haruko follows along. * Kaede looks up at Kyon and fixes his glasses. "Looks like you lost him." * Kyon nods quickly to the desk person, and turns off towards the stairs. He looks back over his shoulder. "Yeah." * Kaede looks at the desk for a moment, then shrugs, assuming Kyon already asked and follows him. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Katie (2d6-2) and gets 6. * Taki walks in after Haruko and looks around. "Ahh there they are...Hey wait up!" * Haruko waits for Taki, then continues to follow. [So they walk! They get to Remi's room! Right now she's lying in the bed starring at the TV. Nobody else is there, because any more NPCs would absolutely kill me x.x] Hey Remi. How are you feeling? * Kyon walks in, and leans against the wall facing her bed. He nods a greeting to her. * Remi rolls her head over. "Feels weird. Tired, and... not very good, really. But they said I'm doing better." * Taki blinks as she enters the room and the occupant isn't the one she was expecting. (Umm... can we just assume Satoshi got lost? Or is really tired? Because I'm about ready to fall asleep. ^^;) Should be back to school by late in this upcoming week, they said. 'S good. ( We'll say he's really quiet, because there's not much more after this. ) (Really quiet, I meant. Not really tired.) (*I'm* the one who's really tired.) That's good to hear, Remi. * Kyon nods tersely. "You hear about what happened?" [So, Satoshi is quiet] * Haruko glances around to see if anyone is within earshot and then says quietly. "If you want, I could try to heal you. My ability seems sporatic though and I could do anything when you were drugged." I heard. Eiko and Yuji stopped by. (Very quiet. G'night, all.) * Remi nods to Haruko. "If you think it'll help... I don't know how it works, so..." * Haruko smiles. "Heck, neither do I." She then looks over Remi and puts a hand on her head apparently praying for her and attempting to invoke her powers. * Taki watches quitely. [Nothing happens] * Kaede steps away from the doorframe slightly, taking a deep breath. * Haruko frowns. "I'm sorry." * Remi smiles. "It's okay." We got the bastard. That's all that matters. * Kyon nods, and looks her over. "Yeah. We got him. You'll get better anyway. And I misjudged you." He jams his hands in his pockets. "You want to work together after this?" * Kaede chuckles a bit. "You've certainly got a lot of spirit, I'll give you that.." * Haruko brightens somewhat. "Yeah, but get better soon anyways." I'm sorry I wasn't there to see it. * Remi smiles. Then starts crying. * Haruko looks concernd. "What's wrong Remi?" * Kaede blinks surprised, looking at a loss of what to do. "Was it..something I said..?" It doesn't get any easier. That guy's behind bars, but... even if he died, it wouldn't bring Miki back. * Kaede frowns and looks away. "No..it doesn't.." But...no one else will be killed either..at least not by him..right? Focus on that.. I know, nothing will bring her back, but, she wouldn't want you to spend your life doing nothing but mourning her. You and Eiko have to go on. * Haruko shakes her head. "No it won't realy feel better, I can't imagine losing a friend like that, but Taki's right and at least you an Eiko can support each other now. * Kyon blinks, and straightens against the wall. "I work on keeping people from getting killed. There's a lot to do. Make it so no one has to do what you've had to." I know... I know... * Haruko genuinely smiles at Kyon. * Kaede shakes his head slightly and pushes off the doorframe, pacing a little bit in thought. Would you like us to stay here for a little while? * Remi nods. "If you don't mind." * Remi chuckles. "Really sucks, not being able to get out of bed." They have one of thoes nurses that comes along and glares at you if you so much as try to move over a little bit? Yeah, but at least it's because of something physical..it's worse when it's your own choice to be couped up.. * Haruko takes a seat by Remi's bed. "Yeah, I was stuck in a hospital for a little while once too. I hated it, would have gone nuts if I couldn't play with the controls on the bed." * Kaede walks over to the window if there is one, if not, he just leans against the other wall. * Remi nods to Taki. "Yeah, just like that, too." * Remi moans. "And a full week to go. Ugh." * Kyon nods quickly, and looks over Remi. "You'll get out, and you can do what you want." He shifts in his stance. * Kaede closes his eyes and sighs. "They told me that too...hospitals..bother me.." I'll bring you something to make it look less bland..if you don't mind, Miss Remi. I swear there must be a class or something on it, How-to-induce-Guilt- Wordlessly-and-from-10-meters-away 101. * Remi nods. She smiles a bit. "Looking forward to it. Isn't that a prerequisite for most teachers for when you forget homework? * Haruko looks quite sympathetic. "And not like there's ever anything good on T.V., seems like they save all the bad programming for when you don't have a choice." Which is why I started reading books. * Remi moans. "Homework. I'm going to have so much to do x.x" * Remi nods to Haruko. "It's even worse here. We only get public channels." (There a window in this room?) [There's no window. Poor Remi.] Ogh, I know how that one works, I'd suggest getting a bunch of your friends who actualy pay attention in class to help you as much as they can. How has Eiko been doing? She's good. After the charges were dropped, everyone's been really nice to her. So I'm glad. (Ask Katie. She helps everyone else with homework. @_@) * Kaede looks around the room, shifting a bit. "What would you like anyways? Most people in the hospital like flowers but I don't know if you're the type." (But she doesn't go to Seiryuu :P) (Like it matters.) I wouldn't mind. But it's good to hear about your friend. I wonder how someone could get that unbalanced.. * Kaede makes a face. "Then again.." He shakes off the thought and goes back to pacing. * Haruko smiles. "That's good and you should have similarly good treatment coming once you get out. You certainly deserve it." * Taki nods. * Remi shrugs. "I don't really mind. Eiko's happy, so I am too." Just wish... No, I won't say that again. You can tell us if you want. No pressure. * Kaede stops and raises an eyebrow slightly. * Remi closes her eyes. "It's just Miki again." Why..was she involved anyways? It's complicated. It involved Yuji, Yumi, and Eiko. We'll explain it later, no need getting into detail now, unless Remi wants to for some reason. * Kyon nods tersely. "Yeah. I know. And you proved your case. You did what you had to." He pushes off the wall. * Remi shakes her head. "It'd give me a headache." * Kaede rubs his chin, then just rubs his head. "Yeah..there's been enough headache for all of us." Then we wont bother you about it anymore...What kind of flowers do you want? * Haruko nods. "Yeah, there's probably a flower shop nearby, this being a hospital, we could drop them off before we leave the area." I... don't know. Nobody's ever given me flowers before. Hmm, in that case...what's your favorite color? Say..Remi...you have to stay here the whole week, or would you be allowed out supervised or something like that? Blue. And they won't let me leave. (Blue roses. ^^) * Kaede sighs. "That's a shame..well..maybe there will be another chance." * Remi makes a face. "Gotta go through 'rehab' first." Right....::digs out a scrap of paper and a pen and writes down 'blue flowers':: ( Good thing I didn't say green ^_^ ) * Kaede looks at the rest of them. "I don't suppose..we could postpone it for a weekend or something, could we..? Chikako may be crushed but.." (It can be done.) (Green roses? =P) * Haruko grins. "Well, if you break anything in rehab just give me call, I may actually be able to help." (Just get nice flowers and green paint ^_^ ) Not that I'd recommend doing anymore harm to yourself... (White flowers, you give them water with dye in it, and the dye winds up in the flower petals...why do I know this?) (We're painting the roses red. We're painting the roses red o/~) * Remi chuckles. "Sure." * Haruko smiles, pleased to draw a chuckle from Remi. * Kyon eyes Kaede oddly, shakes his head, and nods. "Yeah. And when you're out, give me a call. Be good to work with you again." He picks up his bag. * Remi nods. "I'll do that." * Kaede looks back at Kyon just as oddly, then shrugs. "It was just a thought..I just..don't know if I'd feel right knowing she was in here while.." * Kyon nods quickly to Remi. "Get better." Then he walks out of the room. As far as I know she hasn't ever actualy hurt somebody, just played pranks on them. Who? * Kaede curls up his lip to a bit of a disappointed look. "Hrmph." * Haruko waves goodbye as she heads out. Don't worry about that, it is a headache you don't need." Yeah. Another one of those is the last thing I need right now * Taki nods, "Didn't mean to worry you, and get well soon." * Kaede turns his head over his shoulder to look at Remi. "We'll fill this room with flowers, don't you worry..maybe you'll be able to make it next time.." He slowly heads out of the room. Make it to what? * Kaede leaves before hearing her. ^_^; * Kyon heads back down the stairs, and towards a familiar set of double doors. Tokyo Disney, we'll bring back pictures and stories and overpriced toys. Oh. * Remi frowns a bit, then offers a smile. "Have fun. Score a Donald Duck plushie for me." And next time we'll bring you and and your friends, and have an even better time. * Haruko follows Kyon. "Will do, I'll leave you my number when we drop off the flowers, feel free to call if you need anything." Thanks. I appreciate it. Goodby again, I think I'll make it out the door this time. * Remi nods. * Taki walks out the door and closes it. [So they leave Remi and head for Meimi.] * Kyon stalks down the hallway through the double doors, and over to a pretty familiar looking room. He looks into it from outside. * Haruko catches up to Kyon and waits as it checks out the room. This is it? (It? I'm an it? =P) * Kaede takes his time, not particuarly wanting to get up there, seeming disturbed. (You're not an it, Meimi's room is an it) ( Oh my. ) Yep, this is the room. * Kyon shakes his head irritatedly, and opens the door, stalking inside. [Meimi is inside. Obviously.] (Not obvious, I might be in there again) * Haruko walks in and looks for anything different from her previous visit. * Kaede grabs the door after Kyon and looks inside. "Is this her now..?" * Taki follows Kyon in and looks around. * Kyon nods back over his shoulder, and then glares down at Meimi. ["Hmm... This should be interesting." Says a voice from near the door.] * Haruko glances to see that no one is around and is startled by the voice. * Kaede makes his way cautiously in, taking a good look, about to close the door but looking around for the voice. * Taki turns to face the door. * Sho stands at the door, next to Kaede. Handsome and evil looking as ever. * Kaede looks Sho over for a moment and his eyes widen as he steps back but doesn't say anything. * Kyon turns quickly, and looks at the source of the voice. "Sho." * Sho folds his arms. "Are you going to do it?" * Haruko bows. "I don't believe we've been introduced, my name's Haruko, I take it you are Sho?" * Kyon looks coolly back at Sho, and rocks back on his heels. "Thinking about if it's necessary." * Sho nods to Haruko. "That's right. Which one are you?" * Taki edges away from Sho. * Kaede keeps walking back a bit, before stopping and adjusting his glasses trying to regain composure. "Um..Kaede Takeuchi. Pleased to meet you." You startled me a bit.. * Sho looks at Kaede, as if noticing him for the first time. "I have a tendancy to do that. How about you? What can you do?" Wouldn't it be more dramatic to hand out a deck? You seem the dramatic type.. Me..? * Haruko eyes narrow a bit. "Which card you mean?" She looks to borrow a deck from Kyon. "Not to be childish, but I'll show you my card if you'll show me yours." I don't bother, usually. See, I'm just curious. In the long run, it's not going to matter who you are. OK, if we don't matter, lets satisfy our mutual curiousity. * Kyon shrugs disinterestedly. "You'd be surprised. And I do find it strange that in our long acquaintance, you've yet to tell me." Why be curious in something that won't matter..? * Sho smirks. "Imagine that." Why not? Seems a bit of a waste of time is all..or do you have that much to waste? Hm... I wonder... Your brother says hello. * Sho blinks. "Oh? Hm." * Kaede adjusts his glasses again, looking slightly down to hide his features. Didn't realize he was still... Oh well, it's not like it'll make a difference. * Taki stays quiet, but takes a few small steps forward. * Sho turns his attention back to Kyon. "So. Going to do it?" * Kyon smirks back. "Whatever. It doesn't matter, in the end." He smirks a bit more widely. "And you never mentioned your brother, either." * Kyon turns to look sidewise at Meimi. "You know what she's been doing?" That's right. * Haruko shrugs. "Before we get to Meimi, shall we all identify ourselves? Or will our mutual curiousity go unsatisfied for now?" Suppose it will. I'll find out eventually anyhow. If I feel like it. * Haruko shrugs again. * Kyon turns back to look at him more fully, and ignores Haruko. "She do anything to you?" * Kaede starts to say something, then goes silent, nodding a bit at Kyon. * Taki tilts her head to one side as she waits for an answere. To me? Why would she? Because she could? She's a bit insane, so questioning her motives is somewhat unproductive. * Kyon shrugs. "Whimsy? Boredom? Why me?" * Haruko suddenly frowns. Why not? You're as good as anyone else. Maybe she just finds Kyon more interesting. * Kyon shrugs, and looks back at Meimi. "Be better for her if she stopped. Or picked someone who has nothing to do with me." Or maybe she just enjoys impersonating people we know or have encountered before, hard to tell who is real sometime. * Haruko puts a bit of emphasis on the last bit of her sentence. * Taki nods. Could be. * Kaede looks to be deep in thought, looking sideglance at Sho for a bit. So what brings you here now Sho? Funny coincidence that we should arrive at the same time. * Sho doesn't pay much attention to Kaede. Curiosity. I want to see if you're going to do it or not. That's all. Interesting that you'd assume our reason for coming here in the first place. * Kyon looks back to Sho. "Heard from Reiji recently?" Actually, no. He seems to have vanished into thin air. Quite possibly literally. * Kyon nods tersely. "Be easier if I knew for sure." Probably. * Kyon cocks his head and smirks. "Comes to that, haven't heard from you in a while, either." I suppose not. But then, I'm very busy. * Kyon shrugs, and looks back at the bed. "Too busy to check in with your allies." I see though you haven't been too busy to try and keep up. Perhaps. * Kaede looks around for some support..his legs are feeling pretty weak right now, and finds a handy wall. * Haruko watches Sho and Kyon projecting an air of confidence. At any rate, if you're not going to make a decision, I've more important things to spend my time on. * Kyon shakes his head irritatedly, and steps quickly over to Meimi. "I think, for now, I'll just leave it with her here that she needs to stop screwing around with me and my allies. We're not amused. There are other people to play with. Then nothing will happen. That's all. If it turns out something big does happen from her, well..." He shrugs, and pulls down at his right armwarmer, exposing a dark black burn on the back of his hand. "Things will go from there." * So you've come to a decision after all. Good. * Sho makes his way down the hall. * Sho passes through the double doors and is gone! * Kaede shakes his head as he pushes off from the wall. "So that's Sho..." Probibly.. Or was it Meimi? Possibly.. What do you think Kyon, you'd probably be the best person to tell the difference. He seemed surprised when I mentioned his brother.. He also didn't demonstrate any knowledge that Meimi wouldn't have. * Kyon moves his armwarmer back up his hand, and jams it in his pocket. "Yeah. Decisions." He turns and looks over the others. "Yeah. Good guy to have on your side. If she was impersonating him, she got him dead on for manners." I duno...he didn't threaten to kill us once... So..it either really was Sho, or it was a very good impersonation... * Haruko nods, then glances around to verify that no one is around. Did he really have to? He said we don't matter.. * Kyon shrugs carelessly. "Usually doesn't stop him. That or trying to recruit you." Well, it doesn't matter if he was an illusion or not..at least I know what he looks like..and from what Kyon said, how he acts too. Should I try to heal her? I doubt my I'll have any luck but just in case I'm checking with you guys first. If I could wake her up we could get her on medication or something. * Kyon shrugs. "You want to try, try. It likely won't do anything." I don't see how it could hurt..unless.. Although...if that was him...there where's all of Meimi? I was expecting to run into on of her ...copies? Fragments? What would be a good word for... * Kaede frowns slightly. "Unless she's worse waking up.." It's a risk. That's why I'm asking first. * Kyon steps back against the wall to lean there. "Hard for her to be much worse." He blinks, and goes silent with thought. On the one hand we know where she realy is this way...on the other it's just too sad to leave her like this. * Haruko shrugs. "Doubt it will work anyways." Haruko lays a hand on Meimi's forehead but waits for any objections before acting. * Kaede nods a bit. "I don't have any trouble with you trying." * Kyon waves a hand at her, and tenses. I hope this works. [Nothing seems to happen.] * Haruko massages Meimi's forehead and prays to herself and is disappointed. Not my day apparently. Sorry Meimi. * Kyon shrugs. "Just as well. We know where to find her this way." * Taki lets out a sigh, wether it's of disapointment or releaf, it's hard to tell. Yeah..and we know where to find Remi too, but that doesn't mean we want her to stay here either. * Kaede rubs his head slightly. "I..I just don't know." * Haruko nods at Kyon's comment. "So there anything we can do here at this point?" * Taki faces Meimi, "We'll try to find some other way to help you." [An oyster near Taki says: "'S' alright?"] [An oyster on the other side of Taki says: "S' alright."] [Then they vanish] * Taki blinks. * Kyon shakes his head tersely. "I did what I wanted." He leans down, picks up his bag, glares back at the bed, and goes out of the room. (Hmm. Oysters.) * Kaede rubs his head harder. "She's creative at least, I'll give her that." * Haruko looks down at Meimi, "I'll do what I can." She then follows Kyon out. Goodnight Meimi. ::walks away:: * Kaede takes a long look at Meimi, then shakes his head, walking out and holding the door for Taki. [Session End]
