[Day: Thursday, March 13th. Time: 2:50 p.m.] [Weather: Cloudy and drizzling. A bit chilly, too] [Yesterday you went to stop Remi from attacking Ayako, which more or less worked. Then late that night you wetn to find Reiji, which you did. During this last process, you also found out that Reiji's got an actual pentacle, Jiro is insane, and Haruko steals peoples cars (but only temporarily).] [Today, you gather at the lockers, as is normal.] [Session Start] * Haruko wanders down the hall reading what looks like the classified section of a newspaper. She seems a bit more disctracted than usual. * Katie draws. Kind of. She looks very tired. * Satoshi closes his locker and leans back against it, eyes closed. Rather Kaede-esque. * Taki staggers slowly down the hall, her face a testament to the reason why spiral binders will never become popular as pillows. * Haruko manages to walk into a locker, teaters for a moment, then slides down it, in a miserable attempt to make it look like she was planning to sit there anyway. * Kaede walks towards the lockers. He isn't looking too hot either. His eyes struggle to stay open as he heads generally forward, half in a daze. * Haruko then grins for a moment and circles something in the paper. She then goes back to looking. * Satoshi opens his eyes and says quietly, "Hey, guys." * Taki looks up briefly and sees Satoshi, Katie, and Haruko, "Remind me again why we decided that coming to school today was a good idea?" Because my parents want me to. * Kaede mumbles a greeting and heads straight towards his locker. College is good. Because it would look weird if we all disappeared? I don't know. I probably could have afforded to miss a day. * Taki yawans and streaches, "Eh... those all work." * Kaede mildly hears Taki. "Because Nanami already chewed me out for not coming home last night..." * Haruko starts to circle something else, then shakes her head and keeps scanning. * Taki leans against the lockers a bit and then starts to slide down. * Katie sketches a bit more, then looks at it in frustration and tears out the page, crumpling it up. * Haruko then puts down the paper for a moment. "Oh, Satoshi. I had an idea about your telepathy." * Kaede opens the locker with a little effort, then shifts stuff and closes it. "So...I think we should get a reading..." * Satoshi looks over at Haruko. "Hmm?" We could each pick a word so we can ask you to read us. So if there are people listening I could say 'motor' or 'tradition' and you could know I had a message for you, and you wouldn't have to worry about invading my privacy to check. * Taki looks up at Kaede briefly, "Oh...from the real Kyon?...Or that one girl...Or maybe get a book and a deck and do it ourselves? Or something else?" The girl'd probably be easiest...Kyon we couldn't be sure if he could get one... * Kaede taps his finger lightly against the locker. "And since it's the end of the old one...supposedly..." He frowns. "I hate using this kind of stuff as guidance though..." That's a good idea, Haruko. Because I really *don't* want to invade anyone's privacy, and I was worrying about that. * Taki yawns again, "Then don't." Well, we don't have to rely soley on it, but... You want to talk to Saori? Okay. * Kaede bites his lip a bit. He seems to be thinking. And his state of consciousness is resisting. * Katie closes her sketchbook. * Haruko looks up at Satoshi with a grateful smile for a moment. "Good, glad I can help. Go with 'tradition' for me, any congigation. And it's not like I even have any secrets anymore..." Her expression looks odd for a moment, then she recovers. * Katie glances at Haruko, but doesn't comment. It's good to have more than one source of info...we should probibly ask both of them...And then see how badly they contradict eachother. * Satoshi nods at Haruko. "Now I just have to remember that." * Kaede starts to reach for his notepad, then forgets it, letting his fingers open and slumping his back against the lockers. But first I want a nap, and then a nights sleep, and then another nap. * Haruko then looks over to Taki. "Had an idea for you too. One weekend we should get an all day pass and find good teleport spots at all the major transit stations. So we can shave off a lot of time if we're going somewhere new. It'd take a while, maybe more than one weekend, but.." (Stupid, slow computer. You know your replacement's at a FedEx delivery center, and you're just trying to get in one last bout of annoying me, aren't you?) ( From Hell's Heart I spit at you Kate. * Taki blinks a few times and then realizes that Haruko is trying to talk to her, "Huh...yeah...that sounds like it'd be a good idea..." * Kaede looks up at Haruko, tired eyes trying to focus on her. "You mean you're trying to make this into...a convenience?" * Haruko nods. "After that we could do a grid layout of Tokyo and drive.. uh, have Kyon drive you around when he gets back." She again sports a fairly grateful smile. [Before you know it, Chikako shows up, waving a copy of the school's newspaper overhead. "Hi everyone! I brought papers! Cool, huh?"] Doesn't any of this actually, BO... * Katie smiles tiredly. "Hi Chikako." * Haruko looks at Kaede. "Why shouldn't we? I mean it'd be good in emergencies too, but.." * Haruko then looks at Chikako and smiles. "Hi!" * Satoshi looks at Chikako. "Heya, Chikako." * Taki nods absently at Haruko and then looks to Chikako, "Good afternoon Chi~i*yawy*," shakes her head and tries again, "Hi Chikako." * Chikako wavewavewaves "Hi!" Then she blinks. "Hey, how come you're all so tired looking?" * Haruko looks funny for a moment. "Long night." I'll tell you about it, but not here, okay? * Kaede lets out a faint nod and leans against the wall for support. * Chikako blinks. * Taki nods, "Too long." * Haruko looks guilty and goes back to her paper. * Chikako nods, though her face makes it clear she doesn't have a clue. * Satoshi just nods. "Yeah..." Cool. * Chikako distributes copies of the newspaper. "Well, I gotta run, but here's copies of the newspaper. Cool, huh?" * Satoshi takes newspaper. "Thanks, Chikako..." * Taki takes one, "Very cool." * Haruko puts her paper down and collects one. "Thanks." * Katie takes one with a smile. "Thanks. I'll call you, okay?" * Chikako nods. "It's cool." Ok, cool. * Haruko skims Chikako's paper. * Kaede takes a copy of the paper and thanks Chikako, trying to focus on it * Satoshi lets his eyes drift over the paper. * Katie takes a look, too. Seems to be the thing to do. * Chikako waves. "Well, I gotta run. It was cool to see you all." * Satoshi looks up for a sec. "Yeah. Bye. Take care..." * Taki opens her paper...and after stairing at it for a few moments, blushes and turns it right way up. * Haruko gives a warm wave. * Katie waves. "Bye!" * Taki frees a hand to wave at the departing girl. [The paper contains very little of note: an upcoming martial arts tournament, more talk on the beauty contest (still no candidates from Sakuragaoka or Tokugawa), and the soccer team is doing well.] * Chikako waves again and takes off, nearly bowling over Eriko without recognizing her. * Haruko reads the martial arts tournament article, looking for anyone she knows. (The Hockey team on the other hand...who knows :P) (No mention of White Day?) [Among the participants listed in the tournament, Haruko does spot Riko Tokuzawa's name, but nobody else stands out.] [And yes, there IS an article reminding everyone White Day is tomorrow.] * Haruko frowns thoughtfully at Riko's name. And grimaces when she reaches White Day. * Eriko turns her head and watches Chikako run by, then turns her gaze back towards you. * Kaede blinks slightly at that, then groans. "Oh no. I completely forgot." * Satoshi finds the White Day article. "Ack." * Taki blinks, and tries to remember who it was she was planning to buy revenge chocolates for. * Katie reads. "Hi, Eriko." * Satoshi mutters. "Do I even have *time* to go shopping tonight..." * Haruko looks up and stands. "Oh. Hi Eriko! How are you doing?" * Eriko gives a half wave. "Yo." * Taki gets her train of thought derailed, "Hi..." * Haruko looks over to Kaede with a half smile. "I'll forgive the breach of etiquette if you don't worry about me tomorrow." * Kaede looks up slightly at Eriko, somewhat glad for the distraction. "What is it?" * Haruko then looks back to Eriko. * Satoshi seems to finally notice Eriko. "Huh? Oh. Afternoon, Eriko." * Eriko narrows her eyes at Kaede, but doesn't say anything to him. Instead she says to the group in general. "Heard you were looking into the dealers for Saki. Wanted to know what you found out." * Katie looks up, tiredly. "Have a seat." * Haruko starts. "We haven't got much new, but..." She then stops with a deferential glance to Katie. Don't mind us, we had a long night. * Eriko blinks, then sits down with her back to the locker. She pulls out a cigarette and lights up. * Kaede watches Katie and blinks a bit at Eriko's reaction. He's too tired to really take it in though. We looked into Ayako Kunoichi yesterday. It seems like she has parties everyone wants to be invited to. If she's selling anything, that would probably be where. * Haruko gives a usual frown at the cigarette, but doesn't really flinch otherwise. * Taki tries to muster a dirty look and fails, settling for scooching a bit twords Satoshi. * Eriko puffs on the cigarette and nods. The next one's this weekend. We would have gotten more information, but got distracted by something... a lot more urgent. Like what? * Satoshi sits, if he's not sitting already, and listens. He does frown very briefly at Eriko. I think we could bug it. We could hook up a mike type thing to a cell phone at one end and find something to hide it in." Haruko than glances at Kaede. "Or we could crash it outright if need be." Her voice shows a preference for the former. * Kaede frowns a bit too. He looks up at Haruko but doesn't reply. * Haruko then is quiet for a bit and let's Katie tell the story. * Katie takes a deep breath. "Someone we know returned. Jiro was trying to kill him. It was kind of a problem." * Eriko puffs on the cigarette again. "Guess it would be." * Taki nods. That's... kind of an understatement. But yeah. You forgot the "and us" part. Yeah. And us. * Katie rubs at her throat, then blinks and puts her hand down. * Kaede closes his eyes as he leans against the wall, folding his arms. Rather like Satoshi did earlier. Guess it really is Kaede-like. (Although Satoshi folds his arms fairly often as well. ^_~) * Taki mutters something about not being the one who's supposed to charge into battle and starts to nod off. * Haruko rubs at her shoulder a bit. * Eriko nods. "Mmm. Guess you're busy, then." Do you need us for something? * Kaede nods his head to Eriko. "We'll live. What's up?" * Eriko nods. "Saki's got her hands full with Fumio Ebisawa, Ryuji's out of town for the weekend, and I need to go keep Hirokazu from doing something stupid. That leaves none of us to interrogate Ryan McNeil." * Kaede raises an eyebrow slightly and actually opens one of his eyes. "Ryan McNeil?" * Katie blinks. "All right. Do you know where he is?" She stifles a yawn. "And why do you have to babysit Hirokazu, anyway?" * Haruko grins. "I could take Hirokazu duty for you at some point, I am thinking of showing him the tower, as it might get through to him." Ryan? He's a Tokugawa student. He'll just think you're on a date...and then he'll want to go out side, and then who knows what'll happen. But I just noticed the name...transfer student? Yeah. (He'll fall off the face of the earth. No big loss. Wonder if we can lure Tenjirou out there? ;p) * Haruko then smiles a bit at Taki. "I've learned how to make clear when things aren't dates. And I could try hitting him on the back of the head if he tries something like that. It seems to work for Eriko. I don't really approve of violence, but..." (I thought Haruko proved that gravity reversed outside of the tower) (Might chance when you break contact though) (Have to throw something to be sure.) (Yes, but I can dream, can't I? ^_~) Hmm...we could look into it...do you think he's still there? * Katie rubs at her eyes, then blinks a few times. "Okay. Did you at least find out where he would be right now?" No idea. MMhm...nice big wrench....then you can hit Jiro with it too... ::yawns again:: I guess we'll have to start at Tokugawa, then. * Haruko giggles for a moment and then looks back at Eriko. "Oh, and we don't mean to be rude. You are welcome to hang out with us sometime even if you don't have a reason." * Katie stretches, then waves Kaede over. * Eriko laughs. "Thanks. If I ever have time, maybe I will. * Satoshi suddenly jerks his head upright, nearly smacking the back of it into the locker. "Huhwha?" * Haruko smiles at that. * Kaede looks up and walks over near Katie. I think we'll walk, right now I don't know where I'd...Satoshi? (It's a tragic thing when a person doesn't know where to Satoshi. :P ) 'm okay. Just... drifted off for a sec. Sorry. (In a Caution: Satoshi zone, obviously) * Katie speaks to Kaede in a quiet voice, "Can you see if Ryan McNeil's involved in any after school activities?" * Taki looks blearily at him, "Oh...that sounds like a good idea." (And now I'm picturing yellow warning signs with hockey sticks. ;p) (Heh heh) * Kaede raises an eyebrow a bit. "I can certainly try. It'd make things easier. I don't want to have to end up at someone's doorstep again. Especially since we wouldn't have a real excuse to visit this time." * Katie nods. "No kidding." * Kaede sits with his back to the wall and takes out his laptop, booting it up. Yeah... go back to your apartment... back to sleep, ::yawns:: much more comfortable than my books. [Suddenly, Hirokazu comes down the hall in a jog-run, pausing just in front of Eriko, grinning brightly. "Hey, Eriko! C'mon, let's go buy chocolates for tomorrow!" Then he speeds off out the front doors.] * Haruko giggles. * Katie blinks, then grins. She looks at Eriko. * Eriko puts out her cigarette and sighs. "Guess I'd better go after him before he wastes all his money." * Kaede keeps tabs on his laptop. If he noticed that, he's not showing any signs of it. * Taki briefly wonders why Eriko would be buying chocolates, and then decides that she must need to get revenge on somebody too. * Haruko waves. "Good talking to you. Hope he's more amusement than trouble this time." * Katie laughs. "Have fun, Eriko." Then she stifles another yawn. * Eriko hurries out the door after Hirokazu calling. "Dammit, you don't need to buy choclates for every girl in the school!" He calls back, "Not every one, just the cute ones!" Goodnight. * Katie shakes her head. * Kaede tries to connect to the net and find out what he can on Ryan McNeil. Preferably from a Tokugawa website, if they're that sophisticated. Sorry, guys. Been having trouble focusing... what are we doing? Looking up Ryan McNeil. * Haruko snickers for a moment. "Gonna take a lot more than chocolates kid." Okay. Name sounds kinda familiar. Somebody mentioned him before? Eriko just did. No, I mean before that. Or am I thinking of someone else? * Haruko shrugs. "Not that I remember." [The Tokugawa High website is very sophisticated. Much better than Sakuragaoka's. However, students' personal information isn't available just like that.] * Haruko leans against the wall and goes back to her classified section. * Kaede is more trying to find out if he is in any extra curricular activities. Dunno, what did that one girl tell us? Maybe she mentioned him. (Club webpage crosslinking and such) [Kaede, gimme a computer (database) roll! +1] 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-6) and gets 3. * Haruko pauses her searching for a moment to glance to see if anyone else is coming down the hallway. [Makoto and Makoto come down the hallway, arm in arm.] (Hey, we haven't seen the Makotos in a while.) (Well, now you have) * Haruko looks vaguely disturbed and goes back to reading her paper. Circling something else after a few seconds. * Taki closes her eyes, she's not sleeping, honest...at least not yet she isn't. [Kaede doesn't find any clubs listing Ryan McNeil as a member, but he DOES find a fan club for the guy.] * Haruko mutters, "A hundred thousand yen for that junker. Keep dreaming." She then turns to a new page of classifieds. * Kaede just...stares at his computer screen. "You're...kidding me." What's wrong? * Kaede points at his computer screen. "I think you should see for yourself." * Satoshi moves over to where he can see the screen. "Um." That's... different. * Taki ponders sitting up, and then decides that somebody will eventualy mention what's going on out loud. * Katie blinks, then looks over. "What is it?" * Kaede just points Katie towards his screen. * Haruko sighs and says softly to herself. "Wish you didn't know what that was worth, even broken." * Katie peers, then blinks again. "A fan club? About *what*?" * Kaede browses the site to find out more about the wonderful Ryan McNeil. * Haruko glances up. "The guy's in a fan club?" Yeah. [Kaede's browser takes a while to load.] No..he HAS a fan club. Is he a hottie? I...um... * Kaede blinks. "HARUKO!" I believe you're much better qualified to answer that than we are, Haruko. ^^; (He's lying!) * Taki sits up and snickers on that one. * Haruko grins a little, shrugs, and goes back to her paper. (Considering the way they act around Akemi, they might have better luck with Ryan :P) That'll make it simple. * Taki climbs to her feet, and then crosses the hall to Kaede, "Does it say what he did to deserve all this?" Will it? It may also mean he won't stand to be talked to because he'll think we're "just more of his adoring fans." * Kaede makes a face at the last part. Yeah, but if he's dealing drugs...some of it's got to be going to his club. Right? * Katie chuckles. "You don't know. Some people don't want their fan clubs." She shrugs. It gives an opening. We can meet him to find out just what this whole fan club thing is about. [When the page finally does load, the first thing that appears is the head of an enthusiastically smiling red-headed foreign boy, surrounded by laurels. GIF sparkles appear shortly, then the background loads: a wavy heart design. A header says "Welcome to the Ryan McNeil Secret Fan Site!!!!!!!!!!!!"] * Kaede mutters slightly under his breath. "I know I don't. Third most popular indeed." If he cares that it was heard or not, he's not showing it. (at least they aren't flash sparklies) * Haruko coughs slightly and comments quietly. "I'm glad mechanics aren't really into websites." She then turns another page on her paper. * Kaede blinks at the header. "...it's not so secret really now, is it?" Least now we know what he looks like. (He'd be kinda hard to miss @_@) (Nah. Don't you know? Any anime school requires a minimum of 50% transfer students) * Katie snickers. (Yeah, it's not like there are any other redheads aroundhere ::tugs on her braid::) (Just one per school in this game) (Does he have a ponytail? >.>) d2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Brett (d2) and gets 1. * Haruko goes to meander over to look at the laptop, but slips on Chikako's paper that she put down earlier. One fall later, she gets up and goes to look. [Yes, it looks like he has a ponytail] (Aaah, he's my Ryan, only younger!) You allright Haruko? * Kaede goes on through the site to see what makes this "Ryan" (if that is his real name) so great. * Haruko gives Taki an embarrassed nod and looks at the picture. "Huh, not bad, though I can't see starting a fan site. Though it's all a matter of taste really." People have to do something in their spair time I guess. [Kaede finds several headings: "Who is Ryan McNeil?" "Why is Ryan McNeil so great?" "How can I get a date with Ryan McNeil?" "Why are foreign guys so hot", etc. Most of them offer bogus irrational explanations.] * Haruko casually checks over Kaede's shoulder if a sweet bike is one of the reason he's so great, before returning to her position on the locker, carefully skirting the paper this time. * Kaede pays more attention to the "Who is" section, as the rest is probably sickly infatuated girl material. Which he most certainly is not. * Satoshi keeps peering at the screen. "I really don't get it. Then again, I'm not a girl, so..." He shrugs. (Not a girl YET!) * Katie glances, then rolls her eyes and leans against the locker. "" She switches languages. "Hey, am I cute? I mean, really." [She is. She paid CP for it] * Satoshi blinks. "Huh? Oh... well... um..." * Taki looks Katie up and down, "Yes." * Kaede blinks and looks at Katie, taken completely by surprise. "Uh..what brought this on?" * Haruko grins. "Not my type. I could introduce you to some guys who'd be happy to give you an opinion thouugh." * Taki goes back to looking at the screen. (Ask Hirokazu :P) [Ryan McNeil is apparently from Dublin, Ireland. He transferred here two years ago and currently lives with his aunt. His grades are top notch.] Well, he has a fan club, but I don't. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. * Katie arranges her hair. "It's the hair, isn't it." [And his Japanese is quite fluent, but he still retains a 'sexy accent'] * Satoshi looks up at Katie. "You're kidding us. Right?" It says you speak Japanese too well. (AAAH, he is Ryan! *runs away*) * Kaede blinks and just kind of stares at Katie. "Is this really important right now?" (Of course it's the hair. Without the hair, you'd all look the same) * Katie looks at Satoshi, very seriously. "Do I ever kid?" Um... yes? * Haruko leans against the wall and giggles as she goes back to her paper. (Just wait until Aaron shows up. He'll smile you to death) * Katie grins. "Have a cookie, Satoshi." (Oh, god. I was *afraid* of that! ;p) (*runs away gibbering from The Smile!*) (And now's when Xiang-Fei swipes the cookie) * Katie fishes through her satchel and actually pulls out a ziplock bag of storebought cookies. She hands one to him. [Jin swipes the cookie] * Satoshi blinks, takes the cookie, and starts laughing. "Thanks." * Katie blinks. (Or her male equivalent) Hey! No cookie snatching! Err, never mind. Jin! * Eriko is now known as Jin * Katie gives Satoshi another one. Thanks. Huh? * Satoshi munches. * Jin munches too. Don't steal other people's cookies! It's as bad as taking their chicken! * Haruko giggles more, and then pauses for a second. "Uh, is there any way we could not meet around the lockers tomorrow? Maybe somewhere safely away from White Day?" * Katie hands the cookies off. "At least he's eating something that's not chicken." * Jin says around the cookie. "Mffpfh fhphfp mpmrphf." * Kaede looks up at Jin and blinks. He then looks back at his laptop. He doesn't appear necessarily grateful for the distraction, but he's not going to let the opportunity slip. * Taki is not envious, she gave him soup, yes, so she's...Jin? No, wait, she's not Jin, that's Jin...Where'd Jin come from? * Jin finishes the cookie and looks at Taki blankly. "I'm not sure." So...my best guess is, we go to the school. We find some girl fawning over some redhead's picture. We ask her where we can find him. * Taki blinks, and then points at Satoshi, "Wait, arn't you supposed to be the one who reads minds around here?" * Haruko then glances up. "Oh, hi Jin! Would you be bothered if Satoshi read your mind at some point. He might be able to find some memories. Or develop a craving for chicken. Possibly both." * Haruko takes a cookie if Katie is offering. * Jin blinks at Haruko. "I'm not sure. But I can't remember where I left it anyhow." * Haruko giggles. * Satoshi mutters. "You know, that explains so much." It does? * Katie offers, sure! Maybe they'll write a sequel. To what? The story of Jin? * Jin looks at Satoshi dumbly. "I'm not sure." * Haruko gives a quick bow in thanks and then starts munching. "Mmmm." But you just said... never mind. No I didn't. * Kaede saves the page to favorites, just in case, and shuts off his browser. Perhaps you should try Satoshi. Don't go to deep. Try asking again by telepathy as it might be easier for Jin to understand that way. I... uh... well, I guess it couldn't hurt to at least try. * Haruko walks over and gently takes Jin's hand. "Satoshi's going to try to read you. If you want him to stop, just say so. Alright?" Ok. What language am I in? * Kaede looks up curious, and quietly watches Satoshi. He gestures Katie over slightly. * Taki sits down again and watches the theatrics. * Satoshi looks at Jin and concentrates. * Haruko giggles. "Guess we'll find out." * Katie idly follows the conversation, then notices Kaede's gesture and scoots over. * Kaede watches Satoshi and whispers to Katie. "We should get over to the school though while there's still people there. Even if this Ryan isn't, we might be able to find a little more about him with a personal visit." I'm picking up... a chicken. Is it tasty? * Haruko giggles harder and coughs. "Uh... maybe a little deeper than that." * Satoshi tries again. Well, that was a given. Jin. Try to think about the message you had for us, and who gave it to you. I'm not sure. * Katie nods. * Katie checks the time. * Satoshi rubs his forehad. "This is *not* working." (Jin has multiple levels of mind shield [chicken] ) Although in this case, the chicken came before the egg. * Kaede frowns as he watches and whispers again. "I really want to try and meet up with Saori too..it's not just a general reading I want..." [Time: 3:30 p.m.] * Haruko bites her lip. "Uh.. how about needles? You remembered them before." * Jin nods. "Uh huh." * Katie glances at Kaede, then whispers back, "You can meet her. I'll go to the school." * Satoshi leans back against the lockers. "Nothing but chickens." * Kaede looks up and raises an eyebrow. "Are you sure? I mean, he may not want to talk to another that he thinks is a "love-struck female." Wow...I'm impressed. * Haruko sighs. "Maybe the needles were a food prepartion technique. I thought they were medical, like... accupuncture or something." * Kaede rubs his chin. "Although, on the other hand, he may feel relieved that another exchange student can talk to him." * Satoshi breaks his concentration. "Too... many... chickens..." Yeah. That's the idea. Alright...but you're sure you don't want me there? * Kaede looks a little concerned. * Haruko lets go of Jin's hand. "Thank you Jin." She then looks over sympathetically at Satoshi. "I'm sorry. I probably should have guessed that." * Katie laughs a little. "I would like your company, but I'll be fine." I like chicken. There's probibly something in there that isn't chicken...or made of chicken...maybe the chickens ate his memory...Evil chickens. Yes. You most certainly do. * Haruko then glances around the hallway for any more Makoto's or such. * Satoshi just *stares* at Taki. "Taki... maybe you ought to go get some rest." * Haruko laughs. "She may have a point. Maybe he has mad chicken disease." [No Makotos] * Katie gets to her feet, smoothing her skirt and picking up her satchel. "I'm going to Tokugawa." * Kaede nods slightly. He takes out a blank notepad and hands it to Katie. "Write down anything you find out. I know you have your own pad but..." He grins slightly. "I want a copy." * Satoshi looks up. "Need any of us along?" That's a great idea, but if I go to sleep something'll happen and then you call and wake me up again, and since usualy nothing happens at night...I'll just wait it out. * Katie takes it and smirks. She pats her pocket. "Sure." * Kaede stands up. "I'm going to see if I can find Saori myself." He bows his head towards Katie. "Good luck..." * Haruko sighs and then speaks up a bit. "Oh, before I forget. Everyone please don't tell Kyon about my secret. I don't mind if he knows I can, but unless it's vital I'd prefer he not know that I do." Thanks, Kaede. Wasn't going to tell anybody anyway. * Katie looks at Satoshi. "If you want to come, that's fine. But someone really should do this today. Kaede's going to find Saori; someone should go with him, then." * Haruko glances up at Kaede. "If you go after Saori I'd like to come with you. I still need a reading about Yushiro." * Kaede looks over at Haruko and mmms slightly. "That was my intent...but...a little differently.." (I think it's just two. Tokugawa and Saori.) You're welcome to come though. You want an extra fangirl Katie? If not I think I will just go home and take a nap after all. * Haruko tilts her head. "Alright. Thank you. Perhaps you could tell me on the way, you may well have a better idea than I." Guess I'll go with you then, Katie. * Katie nods. "All right." She waves at Kaede and Haruko. "Good luck." * Haruko nods and waves back. "Thanks, and thanks again for the cookie!" [And so they went different ways.] [Session End!]
