[Day: Wednsday. Time: 4:10 P.M.] [Weather: Snow, but only on the ground. Cold.] [Yesterday, stuff happened. The cast introduced itself to itself, they met a girl intent on beating Kyon up, and Katie got a date for the dance while Kyon and Jiro went to speak to Chikako. As they're coming out of the newspaper office, they bump into Meimi.] [Session Start] Hi, guys! * Meimi waves cheerfully. * Jiro manages, in an astonishing show of mental acuity, to not literally bump into Meimi. "Oh. Hi, Meimi." ^_^ * Kyon looks down at her dispassionately, and jams his hands in his pockets. "Hey." * Jiro looks from Meimi to Kyon and back, and shrugs to himself. * Kyon turns his head to look down the hall, and away from Meimi. Katie had to go home... so I figured I'd come back to the office for a while, but if you guys have something more interesting to do... * Jiro looks at a random spot on the cieling. * Kyon shrugs. "Just going to go find someone." Mind if I tag along? Not at all. ^_^ * Meimi brightens. [The old man speaks: "Sure, go ahead. I'm sure they're just dying to have your company."] * Kyon looks Meimi over appraisingly, then at Jiro, and shrugs. "Come or don't come. It's your choice." * Meimi looks around for this old man. Who said that? [As for what old man? Well, he was standing in the corner of your eye, but as soon as you look to see him, he's gone.] * Jiro blinks. "Huh?" * Kyon looks around, sees nothing, and narrows his eyes, but says nothing. Somebody just said something... nasty. * Jiro looks at Kyon. "You didn't say somethin' nasty, did you?" * Kyon shakes his head. "If I did, you'd have known it was me." Oh. Okay. * Jiro rubs the back of his head. * Meimi shakes her head a bit. Maybe I'm hearing things. * Kyon straightens up and shrugs again. "Whatever. If you're coming, let's go." He turns and walks more warily than usual down the corridor. * Meimi follows along after Jiro. *_* * Jiro follows Kyon, glancing around idly. * Kyon heads out towards the exit of the building, and does up his leather jacket before opening the door. He stands in the doorframe, and looks out, then back at the others. "Know how to get to Seiryuu?" * Jiro shakes his head, although he could be rushing to that conclusion. * Meimi shrugs. I've never had to go there. Uh. Why'dya ask? * Kyon turns back towards the door. "Go to the Utsunomiya stop on the subway, and ask there. They'll give you directions." He walks out towards his motorcycle. * Meimi shrugs. * Meimi looks up at Jiro. "Shall we?" * Jiro blinks, then also shrugs. Sure. ^_^ * Kyon attaches his bags to the bike, puts his helmet on, and drives off. * Jiro thinks about which way to go, then heads towards the Utsunomiya stop. He thinks. * Meimi gently guides Jiro to the appropriate stop. ^_^; * Jiro allows himself to be guided. ^_^; [Time: 4:50 P.M.] [The group arrives at the glorious campus at Seiryuu. It's so beautiful that I don't have to describe it, because I already did it once and if I do it again, it'll take forever.] [And you all arrive about the same time, too. Yay.] * Jiro arrives! * Kyon takes off his helmet and shakes his hair out into place. He looks around to see if there are any Seiryuu students still around. [There's a few here and there. There may still be a few club activities going on, as well.] * Jiro looks around. [Jiro sees a real purdy school.] * Meimi looks around. [Meimi sees a real purdy school.] Is the VP always this standoffish? * Kyon looks over the ones around to try to pick out the most talkative looking ones. Huh? Uhm. Sort of, I guess. [Being that there's only a few here and there, there's not a lot of choices, but Kyon spots a group of three girls who are at least smiling] * Kyon looks over at the other two, nods slightly at them, and walks over towards the smiling group, smiling quietly as he does. * Meimi shrugs. Should we follow him? That's my guess. Works for me. * Jiro follows. * Meimi follows after Kyon. [The girls look up, worried frowns crossing their faces as the Sakuragaoka students approach.] * Kyon smiles reassuringly. "Hey. I don't mean to bother you all, but there's a student that I'm looking for, and I was wondering if you could help me try to find her." [They glance at each other nervously. "Uhhh... Maybe?"] * Kyon nods gratefully. "Any help you could give me would be great. I'm looking for a girl named Remi. I don't know her last name offhand, though." [They blink. In unison. "Remi? You don't mean Remi Okui... do you?"] * Kyon cocks his head, and thinks. "That could have been it, yeah. Do you know where she is?" "Uh... Try the roof." * Kyon turns and looks up towards the roof of the school. "Your friend should be talking with her up there now." * Meimi follows after Kyon. * Kyon looks back at the group, smiling puzzledly. "Our friend?" "Yeah. Real pretty girl." * Kyon nods to the girls, then turns his gaze back to the roof. "Thanks a lot for your help. We appreciate it." You have a lot of young pretty girlfriends? [They nod and smile nervously.] * Kyon essays a quick, short bow to the girls, and walks off towards the school, rolling his eyes at Meimi's comment before saying in a low voice, "No. And I don't think whoever's there will be on my side." * Jiro follows, seeming confused. Not like that's new. * Meimi blinks. * Meimi follows along. [The school is real purdy inside, too.] * Kyon attempts to find the way up to the roof. [Kyon finds one in the form of the stairs!] * Kyon takes the stairs to the roof, then, and opens the door slowly. [The roof isn't quite so pretty; it's just a regular roof. There's four girls there. One is tall and beautiful, dressed like a biker. The other three wear Seiryuu uniforms. Two are crawling painfully into sitting positions while the other staggers over giving the biker girl (who I'm sure you've recognized as Saki by now :P) a note. "Here! Just take it and go!"] Why's Saki here? * Kyon steps out and takes in the scene, scowling slightly. "I don't know." * Saki snatches the not from the girl. "Should've just given me it in the first place." * Saki shoves it in a pocket and turns around, heading for the stairs (and, not coincidently, yourselves). * Jiro blinks. * Kyon rocks back on his heels, looking coolly at Saki. "Hey. What was that about?" Nothing. * Saki gestures to the stairs and you three. "You're in my way." * Meimi gets the hell out of the way. [Saki is waiting for you guys to move.] * Meimi already got the hell out of the way. * Meimi is pressed up tightly against the wall. * Jiro looks at Kyon. * Kyon thinks very briefly, and steps just enough out of the way for her to get by, keeping his gaze on her. "Nothing?" * Saki nods and heads past the group. "Nothing you need to know about." * Jiro moves too, then. * Saki disappears down the stairs. * Kyon watches her go quietly, and walks over to the three other girls. "Do you need any help?" * SeiryuuGirl pulls the others to their feet. She looks over at Kyon and scowls. "Get out of here, Sakuragaoka! You scum don't belong here." * Meimi looks at Jiro. Er... I think we should probably leave. * Kyon makes a show of wincing. "Look, we're not all like her. I just want to help." He turns and looks at the stairs over his shoulder. "What was that about, anyway?" Don't talk to me about what you're like. My best friend was killed by you scum! If I could..." * Jiro looks back at Meimi. "Uhm. Yeah, looks like we don't have any fans here." * Meimi heads back down the stairs. * Jiro pauses at the top of the stairs, frowning. Actually, maybe we should stick around. * Kyon nods quietly, and starts to turn away. "Right. Just remember, it's not all of us. Turning away help when you need it isn't good. Us here, we're good. I want to find out what happened as much as you. Sure we can't do anything for you?" Just go. Get the hell out of here. * Kyon nods. "We'll send up the nurse on our way out. If you want to talk, I'm easy to find at our school. Please, be well." He turns and heads for the stairs, taking them three at a time going down. * Jiro resumes going down the stairs after Kyon shows up. [Kyon passes Jiro and Meimi by. O.o] O_O Why the hurry, VP? * Kyon turns smoothly on his heel, and looks back up at Jiro and Meimi. "They're not going to talk. And the only other lead I have went off with the biker girl." Uh. So, we gonna try to catch up to her? * Kyon looks over the other two levelly. "I'm not sure there's enough firepower to take it now. Unless you're feeling much more powerful than usual." Uhm... couldn't we just ask nicely? Me? I just make pretty pictures. * Kyon smirks. "I asked what it was about. Did it seem like she was going to share?" No, not really. * Kyon blows out a breath and curses in Chinese. "Fine. If nothing else shows up, then we can fight her. With as much power as I can get. For now, there's got to be another tack." [One of the girls from the roof appears at the top of the steps. "Um... Maybe I can help?"] * Meimi looks up at the girl and smiles brightly. If you want to. ^_^ * Jiro looks at the girl. "Hey, cool." * Kyon looks up and smiles encouragingly. "Thanks. Anything you can tell us. Are you really OK?" * OtherGirl is short, blond, with her hair combed back behind a berret. She winces a bit as she walks down the stairs, but doesn't look too injured, at least. "I should be okay, I think." * Kyon nods quickly. "All right. Want to sit down somewhere?" * OtherGirl shakes her head. "No, it's fine." OK. If you're sure. * Kyon shakes his head worriedly. "So, what was that all about?" * OtherGirl shrugs. "Well... You surely know what happened to Miki Tanaka?" * Kyon nods. "Yeah. We came over here before to offer our condolences." Then you must know she was Remi's best friend. * Kyon nods again. "Yeah. It explains why she's so mad." * OtherGirl nods. * Meimi scowls. After the murder, Remi broke down. * Kyon looks concerned. "Yeah. I would too, in her place." That's when she was approached by this guy. I wasn't there, so I don't know what he looked like, but according to Remi, he said he had something that would make her feel better. * Kyon raises an eyebrow. "Something that'd make her feel better?" * Meimi growls. * OtherGirl nods. "He gave her a note with an address, and we were going to go there tonight." But than that... I can't believe you were actually going to go. * OtherGirl shudders. "That crazy biker person showed up an... why not?" I bet they were going to get you hooked. First one's free. We weren't going to try it. We were just going with Remi to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. * Jiro frowns. * Kyon nods. "Right. She'd be in a worse position for it now. You're good friends." He cocks his head. "You remember the address?" I never saw it. Like I was saying, that biker came in and demanded we give it to her, and she beat us up when Remi wouldn't do it. Hmmm... * Kyon scowls. "Great. Well, at least she still can't go. I mean, does she know where it is?" I don't think so... Even if she does, she probably won't want to go now that that other girl's going instead. * Kyon lets his scowl fade, and nods. "I wouldn't want to either. Did Remi say anything else about this stuff?" * OtherGirl shakes her head. All right. Thanks a lot. You need help down to the nurse, or anything? No. I'll be fine. * Kyon nods and smiles. "All right. Thanks again." He turns and starts to head off into the school again. * OtherGirl nods and heads back to the roof. * Kyon walks down the halls, and looks for a quiet, empty classroom. * Meimi follows Kyon. [Kyon finds one easily; most people are gone home by now] * Jiro follows, looking around idly. * Kyon steps inside, and leans against a wall, closing his eyes almost completely. * Meimi steps in after Kyon. What in the world are you doing? * Kyon opens his eyes and looks down at Meimi. "Getting my thoughts together. There has to be somewhere else to look here." [Time is about 5:40.] [Session End]
