[19:23] [Day: Monday. Time: 2:00 P.M.] [19:24] [Jiro is in metalworking class. His last class of the day. Woot.] [19:24] [Session Start] [19:24] * Jiro works with metal! [19:25] ( Me thinks I should've started this off a bit later ;_; ) [19:26] * Jiro forges a small aluminum Kirby out of boredom. [19:26] ( Woo hoo! ) [19:26] [Jiro works with metal for the next 50 minutes. Then the bell rings. The professor says a few unmotivative things uselessly as students rush out the door. He then follows them out himself, leaving Jiro alone.] [19:28] * Jiro stands and yawns, packing his things and waiting for his aluminum Kirby to cool enough to carry. When that's done he stands and heads for the door. [19:29] [Outside down the hall, standing near a locker, Jiro sees a familiar face!] [19:29] *** DesignatedKirby is now known as Ken [19:30] * Ken looks up at Jiro and grins. "Well well. If it isn't the guy who thinks he's a good soccer player." [19:30] * Jiro (feels his Jerk Sense tingle, and turns towards Ken.) [19:31] Why yes, Ken, you are here. Dunno why, but it doesn't matter since I'm leaving anyway. [19:32] * Ken smirks. "Doesn't concern you. I'm just waiting for-" [19:32] (*waits for it*) [19:33] [A bubble-headed blond (not quite literally) bounds out of a classroom. "Kennnn! I'm here!". She wraps herself around his arm (also, not literally).] [19:34] Ah. The latest edition to the waif patrol. That's nice. See you at the next match, Ken. [19:34] [It's Sumire Haneoka, the head cheerleader.] [19:34] You're lucky I'm in a hurry, or you'd suffer for that. But I gotta go. [19:34] * Jiro chuckles. "Later." He waves to Ken with his middle finger and leaves. [19:34] * Ken calls back over his shoulder as he leaves. "Try not to lose any more cars, dude." [19:35] *** Ken is now known as Kirby [19:35] * Jiro mutters. "Yeah, like ya' left me any to loose." [19:36] [Jiro hears a female voice behind him. "Are you implying something?"] [19:36] *** Kirby is now known as Girl [19:37] Probably, yeah. [19:37] * Jiro turns to see who's talking. [19:38] * Girl is Arisu Sanada, the school's paper's editor. [19:38] *** Girl is now known as Arisu [19:38] Ah. Hey, Sanada-san. [19:39] Hey. You think he did it? [19:39] You're car, I mean. It's all over the school about how it got stolen. [19:39] Well, yeah. [19:39] * Arisu cups her chin in her hand. "Hmm..." [19:40] It still doesn't make any sense. [19:41] What, like anything he does is supposed to make sense? The guy just wants to see me hurt, and takin' my car was a good way to get that thing done. [19:41] * Arisu seems to have forgotten Jiro was there. "Unless he plans to sell it... But why go to the trouble?" [19:41] ( He's gonna sell your car! That's so so cool! ) [19:41] * Arisu blinks. "I don't know about that. I've been investigating Ken for a while..." [19:41] ( Wait until she meets Chikako :P ) [19:41] * Jiro grins. "Oh yeah?" [19:41] (Bwahahaha.) [19:42] ( o/~ Chikako, what a wonderful town o/~ ) [19:43] I can't say for sure, but... he seems connected to the American drugs that have been found around campus. Wonder if he's a dealer? [19:44] ( American drugs? ?_? ) [19:44] * Jiro shrugs. "Wouldn't surprise me. I always thought he was a crackhead anyway." [19:45] There's more, too. A student's family owns a dojo, which was broken into a few nights ago. The family's ancestral sword was stolen. [19:46] The evidence I've found suggests Ken is responsible, but... What would he want with that? It'd be difficult to sell... Unless he had contacts in the black market... [19:46] ( Wow. Ken is gonna die real bad. :P ) [19:47] * Arisu seems to have forgotten Jiro is there again. ".... Maybe that's where the connection fits into play. Is this party just a front for the black market? But then why...?" [19:47] * Jiro frowns. "I dunno anything about all that, but again, it wouldn't surprise me if he was doin' that sort of stuff. ...did you say party?" [19:47] * Arisu focusses on Jiro. "Hey, how would you like to help me expose him?" [19:47] (Maybe he and Ayako can go out together.) [19:47] * Jiro grins. "Sounds good to me." [19:48] * Jiro entertains fantasies about testifying in court against Ken and chuckles. [19:48] Great. Ken and that bimbo of his are going to Ayako Kunoichi's birthday party. [19:48] I suspect she's involved somehow, and he'll try to make what ever deal he's aiming for there. [19:49] * Jiro nods. "Makes sense, I guess." [19:50] Fortunately, I happen to obtain an invitation to the party from one of my sources. And since I can invite one person... how about we meet there around 6 tonight? [19:51] (Aww, she's asking him out!) [19:51] * Jiro nods. "That'll work, yeah. I was just thinkin' about how I'd need cover to get in there anyway." [19:51] Alright. I'll meet you there. [19:51] [Session End]
