[Taki and Satoshi were in a hockey club meeting at school. The meeting had just let out when Kaede called Satoshi, telling him to go to the jail.] [Start!] * Satoshi stashes his phone as he heads off. "Well. I have a feeling that the meeting we just finished is probably going to be the highlight of the day." Oh? Did something happen? * Taki chases after Satoshi. Remember how Kaede wanted to go talk to that drug dealer? Yeah...We're going to try again? Yeah. He and Katie are going to the jail. We're supposed to meet them there. [Chikako dashes past! She skids to a halt when she sees who she ran by and grins. "Hi Satoshi! Hi Taki! I didn't know you were still here! It's so cool!"] Hey, Chikako. We just got out of a team meeting. What's up? Yeah, Satoshi got dunked so many times we don't know how to spend the money! * Satoshi chuckles. "Yes. At least my sacrifice will probably earn us some new equipment." Chikako grins. "That's so cool! I wish I got a chance at it. That woulda been cool." * Satoshi smiles. "Hey, maybe next year. Now that I've done it once, it might not be so bad next time." * Taki smiles back, "I'll save you a place in line between Jin and Jin." Chikako tilts her head. "Another Jin?" She shakes her head twice and holds out a copy of the school's newspaper. "Want one? It's really cool!" Sure thing. Thanks. * Satoshi takes the paper. No, there's only one Jin. And it's just one Jin. One is plenty. It's just that he got me so many times... well, anyway. * Taki takes a paper and continues to explain, "He just went hundred times." * Satoshi skims the paper. ( Both of you, gimme mind rolls at +1! :P ) [The article is titled: "Vampire Theory! by Arisu Sanada"] * Satoshi eyes the paper. "Vampires? C'mon." Vampires? Is there a new movie coming out or something? (Saki decided that blood's the best part.) [The article continues on: "An American journalist by the name of Scott Kinjorski accused Saki Morikawa of being a vampire, claiming he had pictures and records of her from the 1950s, and that she hasn't aged since. When he asked for a comment from Ms. Morikawa, she laughed and followed with a reply (quote): "You're a freakin' moron."] * Taki looks for a movie listing in the paper. * Satoshi reads the article. "Huh. Well, that quote definitely sounds like Saki, all right. Wonder why some American guy's so hung up on her?" [The journalist was not too happy with that reply, and said he'd publish his works and expose her secret. She then responded by telling him "(edited) off before I kick the (edited) out of you." The journalist left angrily.] * Taki gets more confused, "She's in a vampire movie with an American?" No, Taki. Some American journalist is accusing her of being a vampire. Oh...That's going to be messy... [And Taki sees a movie listing. "The Fork" is playing at 7:00 p.m. tonight.] (Why the fork? Is there no spoon? *hides*) (If there is no spoon...then why is there the idea of soup? /1pt) * Satoshi shakes his head. "Might wanna show the others." * Taki looks at the listing and then finds the vampire story, "Ahh, here it is....Thanks for showing this to us Chikako." * Taki nods at Satoshi as she reads. Chikako nods. "It's cool." * Taki nods, "It is, and we need to go show this to Katie and the others, but there's two things I have to do here first." What's that? * Taki kneels down and starts diging through her backpack, and eventualy emerges with the two presents. "I need to find out what's in these!" * Satoshi blinks, then blushes slightly. "Oh... oh yeah." He smiles. Chikako: "I don't think anyone's going to take that guy seriously, so it's cool." * Taki opens Chikako's first, tearing at the wrapping paper. * Satoshi nods at Chikako. "Yeah. It's pretty far-fetched." [Inside the box is a shiny new watch.] Wow! Thanks Chikako! ::straps it onto her left wrist:: * Taki then struggles a bit to make it show the right time. Chikako grins. "It's cool. I figured everyone needs to be able to tell what time it is, so it'd be a cool gift." * Satoshi looks at the watch. "Hey, that's a really neat watch." Yep, hopefully I'll stop being late for things now. And now it's time for this! ::starts in on Satoshi's gift:: I hope you like it. * Taki opens the box...and stops moving for a few seconds. * Taki then throws herself into a hug around Satoshi, "I love it!" * Satoshi blushes, then hugs her back. "Thanks... I mean... I'm really happy that you love it." * Taki gives Satoshi the worlds second biggest grin and then lets go of him. (I don't get the world's biggest grin? Aww. I'm disappointed. ;p) * Satoshi grins back. * Taki opens the box again and withdraws a silver necklace with a charm shaped like a pair skates, "This is so...so..." She goes distant for a bit and then blurts out "Katie! We forgot about Katie...and Kaede!" Chikako blinks. "What about them?" * Satoshi blinks. "Yeah. They're probably waiting for us. We have to go meet them somewhere, Chikako. C'mon!" He starts running off. * Satoshi waves over his shoulder. "Thanks for the paper, Chikako. See you tomorrow!" Thankyou Chikako! ::runs after him:: [Chikako waves. "Cool."] [And so they rush to the subway, which fortunately for them comes closer to the jail than the trains. Outside, they encounter the same scene as the others: Gate, guards, people, vans.] * Satoshi blinks. "What's going on?" * Taki stares at the circus, "What's all this for? They arrest the mayor or something?" ( Heh. That'd be funny. ) I'd think Chikako would've mentioned it if that were true. Seriously. Unless it happend after she went to press. True. I guess we should keep going. * Taki nods at Satohi, "Nothing else to do." * Satoshi goes forward! To... victory? The guard looks down at them, "Oh, not again!" * Taki blinks at the gaurd, "Again? What's going on here?" I'm sorry? The guard grumbles. "Let me guess, you're here to meet with your friends and have no interest in seeing Ms. Shiraishi, right?" * Taki blinks again, "They're allready here?" That's exactly it, sir. The guard nods sarcastically. "Suuuuuuuure it is." Nevertheless, he opens the gate. Thank you very much, sir. * Satoshi waits for Taki, then heads in. * Taki gives the gaurd a small bow and then follows Satoshi.
