[Day: Monday, March 10th. Time: 4:30 p.m.] [Weather: Warm and sunny.] [You're all at Tokyo Tower, where you've just met one of the strangest Arcana ever: Gustave. Or Pierre. Or Masaru, depending on which name you want to call him. He left just a few moments ago. Satoshi suddenly remembered he had to leave, and so he left. In a hurry.] [Session Start] * Haruko stops her cheery movie theme whistling and glances up to Taki. "You want to tell them?" Hm? Oh yeah...::looks at her feet:: Katie? I need to talk to you for a bit. * Kaede looks out the window at what he was drawing. "What an eccentric." * Katie blinks and looks at Taki. "Hmm? All right." She gets to her feet and walks over to Taki. * Taki meets Katie halfway. * Haruko reviews her equipment one last time before starting. Uhm, when Haruko and I were getting the stuff for her experements together... We found one of her friends...Maki...She'd been beaten up...worse than Nanami... * Haruko digs her left hand into the carpet bit as she works. * Katie blinks. "Really? Did she remember who did it?" * Taki shakes her head, "She couldn't remember a thing, but I've got a nasty feeling I know who did it." * Kaede turns suddenly. "What's that?" * Katie frowns. "Yushiro. Is she okay?" Maki will be alright. I hopefulyl can finish healing her tomorrow. * Taki nods, "Yeah, Haruko healed her though..." So...if it was him...he seems to be going after the girls we know...And while we might get lucky and he'll pick Saki next... Correction, Taki... * Taki blinks and looks up at Kaede, "Hmm?" He seems to be going after NON-ARCANA girls we know. * Kaede takes a few steps forward, his expression clouded. * Haruko nods. "I think it's the girls because Maki's the only other female mechanic I know. There are eight guys." It's too soon to tell for sure, but I have a feeling he'd be going after them for the reason that he can get them to...not remember. * Taki nods at Kaede, "I know, I know...It's just that..." So the next one I know is... * Kaede frowns and looks directly at Katie. * Haruko takes out a small little motor and hooks it up to a battery to see if anything happens. I think he might have issues with women in general. But it could be his powers too. Chikako...I'm sorry Katie. ::tries to give her a supportive hug:: * Haruko keeps her voice fairly emotionless as she experiments. "We aren't going to let that happen." * Katie doesn't seem to really notice, as the idea that Chikako might be attacked dawned on her a moment ago, and she seems rather frozen. ...Katie? If you want I can take you back to the school, or just outside so you can warn her to look out. * Katie shrugs Taki off and goes to look out one of the windows, her expression still unreadable. "I'll let her know." I think he'll take the time to gloat to me first. That seems to be his pattern. * Taki lets Katie go, "If there's anything I can do, just ask." * Kaede speaks in a very hoarse half-whisper "I don't care...but whoever laid a finger on Nanami is going to pay. I promise you that." * Katie lets out a sigh. "You can't tell a pattern by one thing, Haruko." We have three things. * Haruko looks unsurprised at the failure of the motor. "Kaede, could you test this." * Katie looks back at Taki. "What?" * Haruko then looks up to Katie. "You're right, if you want to go make sure she's safe we'll be alright. Otherwise I say we deal with him afterschool tomorrow." * Kaede walks over and takes a look at the motor. "What exactly is it supposed to do?" * Haruko looks to Kaede. "Just connect the battery to the motor, we're testing if it spins when you do that." * Taki does her finger counting thing, "One: Somebody beat Kaede's sister up up. Two: Somebody, possible the same person, beat up Haruko's friend. Three: Yushiro seems to know something about Nanami getting hurt." I meant the pattern Haruko said about Yushiro gloating. He's gloated once. We'll see if he does it again, but I'm not going to count on it. * Haruko takes out a remote control car after she hands the motor and battery to Kaede. She does a quick test to verify that it doesn't work. * Kaede picks up the battery and looks at it for a second before connecting it to the motor, holding onto it. * Taki nods, "If it's not him, I apologise for worrying you, but if it is...I thought you should know about it as soon as possible." 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 6. [Kaede manages to get the battery working, which gets the motor going.] * Haruko grins slightly, she then looks at Katie and Kaede. "Think we should retest the cell phone stuff or assume the past results are still valid?" * Katie walks over, sitting on the floor next to the expriments and pulling out her carving, which she works on as she watches. * Kaede tilts his head to look at it. "Well, that's one thing." I think the cell phone will still be valid..though I'm not sure how exactly it WORKS. But I can't imagine actually losing powers. * Taki takes a seat near where Kaede and Haruko are working and leans back. * Haruko nods and hands hers to Kaede. "Play around with it for a moment if you like. I think I made a mistake on the sheet though, you couldn't get reception here, right?" No...I could try it again though. Go ahead. When you're done here's the remote control for the car. Doesn't work for me. * Haruko takes the electronics free camera and quickly snaps three pictures. She continues to look far more stoic than she normally does. * Kaede puts down the motor, which stops when he puts it down. He takes the cell phone instead and concentrates. * Haruko then lays the camera at Kaede's feet. "Won't know with this until we get them developed." * Katie concentrates on her carving, only sparing the experiments occasional glances. * Haruko puts away the motor to minimize clutter. I plan on talking to Ryuji tomorrow. Probably the only way to stop Yoshiro is a show of force, if we can't take him, Ryuji will probably be willing to back us up. * Kaede picks up the camera and tilts his head to the side, then looks out the window, taking 3 shots with it himself as he concentrates. Seems very...monotonous. * Haruko walks over to collect the camera. "Don't forget about the remote controlled car. Uh, monotonous?" That's what I said. The problem with that is that we don't know for sure that it's Yushiro...It probibly is, but we shouldn't go charging off untill we're sure...Remember the time Mimi had us thinking the Band kidnapped Katie? * Taki curls up in her chair and watches Katie carve over her knees. * Haruko scowls. "There may not be a pattern, but he was gloating to Kaede that time. He'd threatened payback and one of our group's sister got hurt." * Kaede frowns. "It could be the false Kyon for all we know. Or Sho. Or one of the Band. I hate to say it but there's more possibilities than we could think of.." * Taki nods. * Kaede takes the remote, not looking at Haruko, sighing. "How do you want me to work this one?" * Haruko walks over and picks up the aerosal can, and sprays it away from the group. "And how did he know about nanami?" Just fiddle with the control while concentrating, see if the car moves. * Kaede stops and looks up. "Wait. How did he even know I had a sister? Or my last name for that matter?" * Taki looks over at Kaede for a moment, "Either somebody told him, or he's Arcana and has the power to find out about people." * Kaede starts to move the controls, looking at the controls with a stern expression. ( Or he asked Chikako :p ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 4. * Haruko looks surprised and pleased by the seeing that the aerosol can actually worked. * Katie doesn't look up. "Fuyuko could have told him your first name, at least." (Brett that falls under the catagory of someone telling him) After that, just ask the right people. He never referred to me by my first name. * Haruko puts the aerosal can away. "Alright, chemicals seem to work, no point in testing Kaede's powers if I can use it." * Taki goes back to watching Katie. * Haruko then reaches into her pockets and takes out two insulated gloves, which she proceeds to put on. Alright, if no one else is as certain as I am I say we go to that fortune telling middle schooler. * Haruko then grabs a lighter, holds it at a safe distance from herself, and tries to use it. Fine. [Nothing happens with the car. The lighter produces a normal flame.] * Haruko quickly blows out the flame. She actually avoids flinching while doing so. * Haruko then looks over at the car. "Not working?" * Kaede sighs slightly and runs his fingers through his hair. "Not a bit." * Haruko nods. "Alright, hold the car in your hand and try it." * Haruko then picks up a magnet and holds it over a few paper clips. * Kaede shrugs and picks the car up in one hand, remote control in the other. "This is...awfully awkward." * Haruko nods. "That tests whether radio signals work. The car might not have worked because you weren't touching it or because of no signal." It's still awkward. * Haruko shrugs and watches the magnet fail to pick up paper clips. * Kaede concentrates. Hard. And tries to push one of the controls for forward with one finger as he holds both of them Huh, that might explain the lack of electricity. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 4. * Haruko puts the magnet down and moves over to the tea pot. Underneath of it is a small metal box with kindling, a little doors, and airholes on the sides. * Haruko lights the kindling on fire using the lighter, closes the door, and waits to see if the water boils. [The car's wheels move as Kaede pushes the control on the remote.] * Haruko glances up and smiles. "Alright, just to be certain, lay the car down." * Kaede blinks at that and sets the car down on the floor, releasing his grip. [The car goes forwards about two inches, then runs out of power and stops.] * Haruko watches with interest and jots down a few notes. She keeps an eye on the tea kettle as she does this. * Kaede watches the car, then bends down and puts his finger on the top. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 1. Taki, while we're doing this, trty to think of a way to better convince people they're Arcana and the powers are real. I think I may take Hirokazu and the fortune teller on a trip here sometime soon. [The car moves forwards for as long as Kaede can keep his finger on it.] * Taki blinks a few times and then looks at Haruko, "Hmm, did you say something to me? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." * Kaede walks forward a bit with the car, then releases his finger, pushing the controls up full-throttle. * Katie glances up at the car, then continues carving. "You could always try to kill him." * Haruko smiles slight. "It's alright. I was suggesting that you try to brainstorm how to quickly convince people this Arcana stuff is real. I failed with Hirokazu, and aside from taking him to the tower.... or that." No...annoying as he is, I don't think killing him would help. * Kaede looks straight at Haruko oddly. "Why does he need to even know from us?" [Haruko learns how to boil water.] * Haruko looks back at Kaede. "Better that he find out before someone tries to kill him. And his powers once he finds them may prove helpful." (Haruko is talented!) (Haruko is one up on Akane! :P) * Haruko grins. "And we have steam engines." She then bends down to blow out the fire, she flinches slightly as she looks at it, but then takes great pleasure from hilling it. Uh, Kaede, try the magnet next. It wouldn't work for me. (*RDM screams as the concept of the Arcana with a Steam Zepplin passes thourgh his head) (*chuckle*) * Kaede walks over to the magnet and puts his fingers on it, concentrating hard as he moves it over the paperclips * Haruko grabs a wind up toy, a tiny little motorcycle with two little side wheels to keep it upright, and starts winding it up. * Taki watches Haruko and Kaede for a bit. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 9. [The magnet doesn't do squat for Kaede.] * Haruko glances up as she finishes winding and frowns. "That doesn't make sense. Uh... try holding the paperclips too." * Haruko then puts the windup toy on the ground and lets it go. [The motorcycle moves forwards, eventually bumping into Taki's shoe.] * Haruko giggles. * Taki looks down and picks up the bike, "This yours?" * Kaede ...'s * Haruko nods and holds out a hand to reclaim it. "And we have clockwork. Non digital watches should work, and I can use that to make a field detector I think." * Taki winds it back up and aims it at Haruko. * Haruko lets her reclaiming hand fall but smiles. * Kaede speaks offhand. "Katie. If you're bored, you don't have to wait here." (Hmm, ranged attack, improvised? :P) ( Sure. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 4. [Taki gets the motorcycle back to Haruko.] * Taki watchs it make it's way back to Haruko and grins a bit. (Haruko dies by a motorcycle, ironic really) Was there anything else? ( Yeah, I'll say :P ) * Haruko grins and giggles and lets it hit her. Yeah, try holding holding the paperclips and the magnet. Then we'll try a bit more with testing the limits of your power. * Katie still doesn't look up. "Do you want me to leave, Kaede?" No. I want to give you an excuse to check on Chikako. That works. * Kaede picks up the paperclips and the magnet and tries to concentrate on them both, watching Katie out of the corner of his eyes. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 6. * Katie wraps her carving and sheathes the knife, puts them away, stands, and picks up her satchel. "Bye." She walks over to the elevator and presses the button. * Kaede sighs and drops the magnets and the paperclips on the floor, walking over to the elevator. "I'll be right back." * Taki stands and then sits down when Kaede makes his move. [The elevator takes a while in coming...] * Haruko frowns slightly but doesn't otherwise react. Keep experimenting. * Haruko grabs a primitive little lightbulb hooked up to another battery. She idly connects it to watch the light not come on. * Katie glances at Kaede as he walks up. * Taki sighs. * Kaede adjusts his glasses calmly, and shakes his head at Katie slowly. * Haruko walks over to Taki and comments quietly. "That's actually the end of the non-Kaede experiments, but I'll." She then stops for a second. "Keep fiddling with that magnet, that just puzzles me." * Haruko walks over to do just that. * Taki blinks at Haruko and stands up again. * Katie blinks at Kaede, then looks back to the elevator. (And now Dance of the Curse? Who's in the elevator? >.>) * Haruko casually talks to herself as she plays with the dead magnet. "Wonder if it'll work the same way in fields as in the tower. Need to find a way to test that." * Taki starts to clean up some of the scattered things from the experements, "First we need somebody who can put up a field when we ask, and not just when they want to fight us." * Haruko nods. "We could ask fake Kyon, but I'd prefer not to. Otherwise, we may find Kyoko, but I can't remember any other allies being able to do it." (Why not ask fake Kyon? I'm sure he'd love to help. ^_~) * Taki nods back and then glanses at the elevator. * Haruko grabs a wire on the ground and her cell phone, but lets Taki put away the rest. [The elevator doors open! Inside is a somewhat attractive woman who looks older than you at first (contemplating it, you figure she's probably about the same age). Her hair is red, tied into a pony-tail at the top of her head, and her eyes are blue. She's wearing a white blouse, unbuttoned half-way down, a tight red-brown skirt, and a grey suit-coat. Oh, and high-heels; maybe that's why she looks older.] * Katie blinks at her. If she starts going on about how she's an ar-TEIST... * Haruko glances at the new arrival and drops what she's holding, she dives to keep the the lightbulb from breaking. * Taki blinks as the elevator opens. * Haruko then blushes a bit and puts the equipment down and stands up. * Kaede looks strangely at the woman and takes a step back. * Taki manages not to spill the teapot on herself as she puts it back on the ground. * Haruko bows politely to the new arrival. "Hello, my name is Haruko Kinsha." * Woman folds her arms. "So you're here. Just as I expected." * Katie tilts her head. You were looking for us? * Taki blinks and stands up. * Woman nods. She's got this kind of scowl-without-really-trying. * Haruko keeps a friendly look, she's pretty practiced at it so it's hard to tell that it's faked. Just like you expected? The cards said you'd be here. I can't say I'm surprised, but I am disappointed that you'd let your friends in harm's way. * Kaede adjusts his glasses a bit. * Katie says, more than asks, "Which ones." You would know your friends better than I, wouldn't you? Wait. We'd what? * Haruko lets the friendly expression drop. "Katie or Kaede, perhaps you should go make that call now and then come back." * Kaede narrows his eyes at the woman. Sure. Can I borrow someone's phone? * Taki nods, "If you will excuse some of us, we'd like to try and correct that." I'll go with you. * Haruko offers gives Katie her phone. "Program in her number while you're at it. If I had it I'd have called before I came down here." * Woman scowls at Kaede. Not that she's particularly trying. She moves aside in the elevator. "By all means." * Kaede takes out his cell and walks into the elevator, glancing at the woman * Katie nods and takes the phone. "Thanks." She looks at the woman again before stepping into the elevator. Thankyou. * Haruko tilts her head. "Should we all go, or are you intending to come in here?" I was speaking to her. * Woman stays on the elevator. * Haruko hurriedly grabs the rest of her stuff and gets on. * Kaede looks at the woman. "You can wait for us here." If Chikako is hurt, Katie won't want to come back down, so I say we all get in and go up. * Katie rubs at her forehead. * Haruko nods. "I'd agree." She waits in the elevator now that she has gotten on. * Kaede rubs the bridge of his nose and waves absently. "Fine. Fine." I have no intention of staying here any longer than necessary. * Taki moves into the elevator and presses the up button. So you just came here to bother us instead. It'd be nice if you told us who you are. Please. * Woman scowls at Kaede. "At least I make an effort." To do what? Set things right. Worry us? You think we don't think of other people involved in this all the time? * Katie folds her arms and looks out the elevator doors. "Set things right, huh." You don't know me. You're already accusatory. I don't see why I need to listen to this. * Haruko nods to Kaede. "She didn't threaten us, she warned us. She deserves some credit for that." [Up goes the elevator.] * Taki nods. * Katie 's eyes widen when the doors close, but she doesn't move otherwise. At all. * Kaede folds his arms. "No. She doesn't. Because if she was really worried, she could have done something directly." I know you well enough. I know you're sitting here doing whatever the hell it is you're doing, knowing that your sister has been beaten bloody. * Taki leans on the wall of the elevator, "Wern't you the one who said that there are things that people have to do themselves?" * Haruko looks up at the woman. "Was it Yushiro?" * Kaede glares at the woman. "And why does everyone know about this is my curiosity?" It's not my perogative to tell you who did it. * Katie doesn't say a word. * Haruko folds her arms. "Then please tell us what your role is in this." It's not your perogative to do anything but criticize me apparently. What would you have me do? Trap my sister by my side like a dog? She will NOT do that. I'm the one who gets to deal with the mess whenever you people use your damn powers in public. * Haruko blinks. "You made them forget?" That's right. That's... * Kaede glares at the woman and gets up to her face. "So you're telling me...you're the reason...my sister doesn't even know her attacker..." Alright. Then it is your perogative to tell us who did this. Our friends would have had you not intervened. * Woman glares right back at Kaede. "... Is because she was attacked with Arcana powers." And yet you stand here and criticize me, while you tell me that it's not your "perogative" to tell me who did it..." ...But she knows about the Arcana...so what would the point of erasing her memory be? * Kaede takes a step even closer to her. Or did you take all of that too? * Haruko looks at Kaede. "Calm down damn it. We'll take down who was responsible, she wasn't." * Katie reaches forward in a quick, desperate motion and slams her hand against the door. * Taki jumps a bit, "Katie?" * Woman frowns. "I would if I'd known. This isn't something you can just tell anyone you please." * Haruko lets Taki handle Katie and looks back up at the woman. "Are you one of the ones who survived Hiroshima?" She knows who's responsible. She'll tell me, right now. Or she'll let my sister remember. Because she ruined any possibility I have of knowing for sure. I haven't done anything to screw up. * Kaede grasps the woman by the blouse, modesty be damned and grits his teeth. "She's my sister! If she's going to be in danger, I'm going to tell her of that possibility!" * Katie stares at it, looks around the elevator in a panic, then back at the door. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 6. Katie, Calm down... it'll open when we get to ground floor. * Katie speaks in a strained voice, "Make it get there faster." * Woman twitches violently then grabs Kaede and spins, slamming him into the side of the elevator (and causing it to shake). "You little creep! Don't you ever touch me like that!" * Kaede winces slightly as he gets slammed, but still glares at the woman. "You have the nerve to call ME a creep! You're the one wiping what's most important!" * Katie grimaces and puts her hands to her ears. * Taki speaks sofly and as calmly as she can with Kaede getting thrown around right next to her, "I could try to teleport us up there, but I don't want to make her even madder...You can wait it out. I know you can." * Woman slaps Kaede. "Idiot! Don't you think I'd have taken care of it if I knew who attacked her?" * Kaede turns his cheek at the slap, glaring a bit but losing the sternness of his gaze. "You...don't know?" * Haruko looks a bit relieved and disappointed at the same time. Of course not! Then...why did you wipe her memory, knowing she knew...? Because it's her job to keep people from knowing about Arcana. She could have asked...then wiped...then told me. After all, I'm someone relevant. * Woman nods. She lets go of Kaede, but is still staring at him with a gaze that could wilt flowers. * Kaede looks at the woman out of the corner of his eye. "But...you didn't think of that...did you?" Kaede, do you really think pissing her off is going to help anything? * Kaede sighs and rubs his temples. "...I..have a headache." * Haruko nods and speaks in a rather sympathetic tone. "I'll handle talking to her. This bastard hurt my friend too, I know what you feel, but she's not the enemy." * Katie whimpers. She reaches forward with her left hand and presses it against the door again. Serves you right. Little pervert. I'm tempted to erase your memory just for the hell of it. Be thankful I don't. * Haruko looks at the woman. "He's not a pervert and that would be an abuse of your powers. He's just on edge for obvious reasons." It will get there Katie. Just wait a little longer. No excuse. * Kaede leans his shoulder against the side of the elevator. Now that you mention it, he looks a little tired. ...pervert? What are you talking about? Alright, so are you one of the Arcana that survived the bombing? And Kaede, please leave this to me. You grabbed at my chest, you creep! [The elevator finally arrives at Tokyo Tower and the doors open. It almost feels like it wants to spit you out.] ...I have no interest in your chest. I grabbed the collar of your blouse. * Haruko sighs and rubs her forehead. "He wasn't trying to fondle you, I'm certain of that, do a reading some time if you want to know for sure." * Taki takes a deap breath and steps out of the elevator. * Haruko steps so that Katie can rush past her easily and then gets off. * Katie is glad that it does, because she scrambles out of the elevator, frantically putting a large amount of distance between her and it. Bullshit you did. * Kaede 's eyes are pretty droopy as he staggers out of the elevator. * Taki blinks and chases after Katie. ...why would I want to touch your chest? Shut up Kaede. This doesn't matter. Gladly ... * Katie collapses onto one of the lounge chairs, curling up and stuffing her face in her arms. * Woman stalks out of the Tower. You can almost see the vein in her forehead throbbing. * Haruko keeps up with the woman. * Taki kneals next to Katie and puts a hand on her shoulder. * Katie manages between sobs, "I'll be okay." * Kaede dials on his phone. He actually winces with each button he presses. I know that, I just... Just... go away. I'll be okay. * Taki shakes her head, "I'm not here because I want to see you hurting...I want...I want to help you and I don't know how...so I'm going to wait...I can wait farther away, but..." * Katie wipes at her eyes. "It's not something you can help with." She sounds like she has a hard time saying each word. * Taki nods slowly, "Knowing that doesn't change the way I feel." Fine. * Taki takes her hand off of Katies shoulder and simply sits next to her. * Kaede strugles to speak into the phone, but sounds a bit relieved. "...Nanami? Good, you're there. Oh, no reason. Just...take care alright." "You've got a cell too, right? Make sure if you call if anything comes up." * Kaede looks a little nervous as he cups up the phone to his mouth. "Oh...and Nanami?" * Katie looks up from her arms and pulls Haruko's phone to in front of her face. "Oh, it's nothing. I just wanted to say...I love you." * Kaede clicks off the phone and looks at it for a while. * Katie starts dialing Chikako's number. Once done, she puts the phone to her ear. * Kaede closes his eyes and visably slumps against the wall. "Is..the devil woman gone yet?" * Taki doesn't watch Katie dialing, no, staring throught the people passing in front of her is so much more interesting. * Katie speaks hesitantly into the phone, "Chikako?" * Katie wipes some tears from her eyes as she tries to keep her voice steady, but doesn't quite succeed. "I wanted to make sure you're okay." Someone- someone has been attacking people we're friends with. People who aren't Arcana, and then they forget after. We think it's Yushiro, but... * Katie giggles, just a little. She sounds a bit hysterical. "No, it's not. So... be careful, okay? Especially if you see Yushiro." * Taki smiles and manages to focus. * Katie opens her mouth to say something, pauses, and changes her mind. "No. It's not." So, um... * Taki pushes herself to her feet and starts walking twords Kaede. * Katie blinks. "Sure. We could do something." * Katie smiles a little. "Yeah." * Taki stops walking when she's far enough away that she can't make out what Katie is saying. So, I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow, okay? Or tonight. We can work something out. * Katie nods, keeping up the small smile. "Yeah, it is. Take care." Bye. * Katie hangs up and tosses the phone onto one of the couches. She sighs, sinking into the chair. * Taki walks back and gives Katie a crooked grin and sits back down, "I'm jelious, but I'm glad she's allright." * Katie blinks. "Jealous of what?" Of the fact that I sat here not knowing what to do and she got you smiling just by being herself. * Kaede still has his eyes closed and shoulders slumped. He looks over at one of the couches. * Taki streaches out, "I suppose I'll figure it out one of these days." There's nothing wrong with not knowing what to do, Shimiru-san. * Kaede pulls himself away from the wall with more effort than he should need to and goes to the couches, folding into the cushions like a rag doll. * Taki shrugs, "I hate the feeling it gives me...not the most anymore...but it's still up there." * Katie looks at Kaede. "You're not well." It sounds a little funny coming from somone who's obviously been crying not long ago. [Kaede's phone rings!] Oh yes. I'm sure someone who just got accused of being a pervert, slammed against an elevator, given the runaround, and put through tedious ex-- * Kaede almost jumps and picks up his phone. "Hello? Who is this?" * Kaede tries to sit up with effort. * Taki looks over at Kaede. * Kaede's eyes widen as he taps the phone. "Hello? Hello????" [Session End!]
