Start of #Youkai buffer: Thu Jul 02 21:47:14 2009 [18:27:25] [Friday morning arrives, and it's a cool and breezy day] [18:27:47] [The air's been getting a little misty] [18:27:57] [We pick up as you head to school] [18:27:59] [Session Start] [18:28:49] * Berny walks to school, an furled umbrella in her hand, just in case. [18:28:55] (( a )) [18:29:31] * Kentaro heads into school, checking himself with his mirror before he heads in the gate as usual, pausing to adjust his hair. [18:30:08] * Megumi walks to school a little slower than usual, watching the sky. [18:33:03] [Morning classes pass by with a bit of difficulty...] [18:33:15] [Megumi in particular finds her grades slipping a little.] [18:33:39] * Berny leans sleepily against her desktop. [18:33:49] [Thankfully, lunch arrives, so you have something else you can try thinking about when you go hang out with friends] [18:35:02] * Kentaro looks away from the window, shaking his head. "Ugh. At least that's over. Hey, want to head down and get lunch?" [18:35:20] * Berny nods. "Sure." [18:35:51] * Berny pushes herself out of her chair and blinks. "That was probably the longest morning of classes ever." [18:37:20] Tell me about it. I kinda want to just skip this afternoon, but I don't want them to call home. [18:37:33] * Kentaro swings his bag over his shoulder and heads down to the cafeteria [18:37:57] * Berny follows along right behind Kentaro, her bag hanging over her shoulder. [18:39:31] * Megumi groans as she picks up her bag and heads down to the cafeteria, walking without the usual spring in her step. [18:41:45] * Berny takes her usual seat across the table from Megumi and pulls out her lunch. Her eyelids look heavy. [18:42:52] * Kentaro sits down, taking his lunch out of the bag. "Hey, funsize, what's wrong?" [18:43:08] * Megumi arrives last to the cafeteria and sits down with whatever they're serving today, and begins to pick at it slowly. [18:44:19] * Megumi looks up. "It's my frickin' grades. My parents are gonna kill me if they find out." [18:45:00] Aw. They're not that bad, are they? [18:45:14] * Berny casts Megumi a sympathetic look as she chews on her sandwich. [18:46:32] We kinda got a deal. They let me off with a lot of shit as long as I don't get anything lower than a B-. Well guess what I got today. [18:47:58] Oh, geez. I'm guessing it's worse than a B-? [18:48:16] * Berny holds her breath. [18:49:02] I got a C. I'm _dead_. Or worse. [18:50:08] Do you have to tell them right away? Or not until the final grades come out? [18:51:48] Well, I'm not gonna tell'em myself, that's for sure. But they've found out before. [18:52:29] They talk to your teachers? Or...supernaturally...? [18:53:16] They're oni, the only way they could do it 'supernaturally' is to threaten to beat up my teacher. [18:53:42] * Berny blinks. "Oh." [18:54:09] Well, will your they let you redo the assignment or whatever if you ask? [18:54:58] Huh. I could have sworn oni had magic powers. I mean, they do in manga. [18:55:06] * Kentaro shrugs. [18:55:15] * Berny grins briefly at that comment. [18:55:39] * Megumi shrugs. "If we DO, nobody ever showed me how to do the damn things." [18:57:02] * Daisuke shambles into the room. He's slouched over, and has little dark patches under his eyes. [18:57:12] * Berny waves to Daisuke as he approaches. [18:57:47] Hey, Daisuke! What's up? [18:57:49] * He looks over to Berny, then very very slowly, begins advancing in her direction. [18:58:19] Heya, Daisuke. You, too, huh? The day's been going by so slowly today. [18:58:23] * Kentaro leans over and whispers to Megumi, before Daisuke arrives, "Hey, I might be able to take care of your grade later. Just don't make a habit of it, right?" [18:58:57] * Megumi stares at Kentaro. "What, really?" She then turns to look in surprise at Daisuke. [18:59:10] * Berny turns back to Kentaro and Megumi. "Oh. Haha. I was thinking we could help redo the assignment to get Megumi a better grade, but I guess that works too." [18:59:30] Oh, that's maybe a better idea. [18:59:30] * He slumps down into the seat. "Eugh." [18:59:52] It'd depend on the teacher letting her redo it, though. [19:00:00] * Berny frowns. "Daisuke, are you okay?" [19:00:19] I don't want to put on too many *magic shows* or else the *happy campers* will start acting like *silly cows*, you know? [19:00:53] Huh? No. No, not really. [19:01:02] * Berny nods. [19:01:06] What's wrong? [19:01:29] * Megumi looks blankly at Kentaro, then looks back at Daisuke. "Someone beat you up or something? I'll kick their ass if you want. I don't normally fight other people's battles but I could use a good fight right now." [19:01:32] A bunch of answers on my test." [19:02:08] * He slumps down and puts his face down on the table. "Aaaagh." [19:02:14] ...What? Oh man, that's terrible. I'm sorry, man. [19:02:23] ...Hm. [19:02:55] * Kentaro flips open his cell phone and sends off an email to Kikuko, reading "Hey, Kicchan, did you manage to fuck up a test today?" [19:03:36] I got a C+! Can you believe that? [19:04:09] * Kikuko responds quickly. "I did totally well, niichan. What about you?" [19:04:40] * Berny headtilts. "Sorry, Daisuke. Was it a really hard one?" [19:04:49] * Kentaro responds, "I had a nap!" and closes his phone. [19:06:11] Well, it was apparently a lot harder than I thought... [19:06:32] Maybe it's the weather. [19:06:54] Yeah, maybe. It seems like everyone's having a pretty bad day today. [19:07:19] Yeah. I almost couldn't stay awake this morning. [19:07:40] You mean...maybe it wasn't just me? [19:07:53] Maybe. [19:08:14] Tell me about it. I was thinking about buying a lunch, but something screwed up and all they've got is rice and water. [19:08:21] I absolutely couldn't stay awake this morning. [19:08:24] Geez. [19:08:43] Maybe the school is being posessed by some kinda fuckup demon today. [19:11:40] A demon, huh? [19:12:21] Maybe, yeah [19:12:28] I don't think I was tired, though... [19:12:34] I mean, it seems like everyone but Kikuko's having a hard time of it [19:12:56] * Kentaro flips his phone open again and sends off another mail. "How good is really well, anyways?" [19:13:40] Just couldn't really concentrate. [19:14:21] * Daisuke slowly eats his lunch of wasabi chips and soda. [19:14:45] Concentrate? [19:15:41] Yeah, y'know, just couldn't stop thinking about the TV. [19:17:49] Did something weird happen with the TV? [19:18:48] Naw, it was just a really awesome match! [19:20:11] I didn't know you were into sports. [19:22:34] * Megumi blinks. "Do I look like I'm into something else?" [19:23:08] I guess it makes sense. [19:23:23] I didn't know that punching people in gas station parking lots was a sport. [19:23:40] * Daisuke takes another bite of the chips with some distaste. "Bleh. You wanna get some real food after school?" [19:24:38] Oh, necessarily. I want to do *something* after today [19:24:58] * Megumi grins at Kentaro. "It is in American hardcore rules!" [19:26:59] Man, what a crazy-ass country. [19:28:02] Their wrestling's a little more staged but man is it entertaining! [19:30:01] * Kentaro smiles. "That's kinda why me and the redscarves like Hollywood. It's fake, but they know drama." [19:31:07] Maybe I should have spent less time studying that skeleton... [19:33:15] * Kentaro shrugs. "Maybe it just blindsided you, or maybe you got unlucky." [19:39:00] Yeah, maybe... I dunno what I should do now about that, though. I mean, that biologist makes it sound like a dead end. [19:42:20] How was that, again? [19:42:32] And who was this biologist? [19:43:48] Dr. Ishimura... he's a friend of my dad's. He looked at it a while, just said it was a weird one-off mutation. [19:44:11] * Kentaro nods [19:46:19] I think there's more to that skeleton, but maybe I'm just seeing more in it than there actually is. [19:47:27] I dunno, man. I think it's pretty interesting, but then, I don't know much about that sort of stuff [19:48:32] * Megumi shrugs. [19:51:32] I guess I'll figureit out later... any good places to eat that you can think of? [19:53:21] Uh, there's a teahouse that Miki and I go to sometimes, and there's an American place that opened up a while back. Or I guess we could get some ramen or something. There's this nice little place downtown. [19:56:01] Ramen, huh? That doesn't sound bad [19:57:01] That American place could be good too, though... actually, those all sound nice [19:58:45] I could use some food to take my mind off things, for sure. [20:02:45] Which one're we going to go to? Maybe we could take some other people along. [20:03:36] * Kentaro shrugs. "I'm good with whatever." [20:09:12] Megumi, what about you? [20:10:07] Uh, ramen sounds good to me. [20:11:31] I guess we're oging to Ramen, then. [20:11:42] I guess I'll see you guys at the gate after schooL [20:12:30] * Kentaro nods [20:13:35] Yeah, later. [20:15:13] [Lunch passes easily...] [20:15:16] [After School] [20:18:23] * You stand in front of the ramen shop downtown. It's a moderatley sized establishment, but popular. [??:??:??] * Kentaro's changed out of his school shirt and jacket into a tight black t-shirt with "DECADENCE" written across the chest in gold text [20:18:51] * On the signs outside, you can see the menu. They've got quite a selection, including a small menu of the weirder things, like ice cream ramen and nattou ramen [20:26:46] * Daisuke looks the menu over. "Ice cream?" [20:27:17] Yeah. It's pretty... thorough. I've never had it before, though. [20:27:24] I pretty much just get the tanukidon. [20:28:54] ...wait, the... [20:29:38] * Daisuke peers through the window. "Oh, crap." [20:30:57] * The sky lights up in a brilliant flash [20:31:09] * Megumi looks out. [20:31:24] * It's quickly followed by a thunderous boom. [20:31:35] * Kentaro looks up. "Oh, wow." [20:31:48] * The misty air starts to rain a little. [20:34:04] * Daisuke quickly steps away from the windows a bit. "It's her!" [20:34:26] * Megumi watches the rain a bit, then turns to look at Daisuke in confusion. "Her who?" [20:34:52] The crazy girl with the red scarf. [20:35:59] Oh, geez [20:36:28] She's got others with her too. [20:36:44] * Kentaro nods. "They travel in packs." [20:37:17] Like wolves or something? [20:37:32] * Megumi looks around. "Where? [20:38:09] In the shop! Oh geez. I hope they didn't see me. [20:38:31] Yeah, kinda like wolves. [20:38:40] * Megumi turns away from the windows and finally notices them. She smirks a little. [20:38:51] Maybe it'll be alright. If you don't draw attention to yourself, maybe they won't notice you. [20:40:01] I dunno, I left a pretty strong impression that first time... [20:48:14] * Megumi cracks her knuckles. "If they wanna start somethin', I'll be happy to finish it." [20:50:08] Well, I guess we can take our chances. But I'd rather not start a fight inside the restaurant. I like this place. [20:50:35] Don't worry, I'll take it outside. Not that they look like the fightin' sort. [20:52:51] * Daisuke nods. "Alright... hopefully trouble won't pop up." [20:54:42] * He steps into the shop. [20:57:52] * Kentaro heads inside [20:57:55] * Megumi goes inside before the rain really starts to come down. [20:59:27] * The inside of the shop is well-lit, and warm. A larger number of people have started to gather inside. There's a booth that can easily seat at least four people. [21:01:04] * Kentaro heads for a booth and picks up a menu, furrowing his brow. [21:01:32] * Megumi grabs a menu and heads for the same booth, keeping a wary eye on the Red Scarves. [21:01:37] * On the other side of the shop, you can spot the girl that messed with Daisuke a few weeks ago. She's hanging out with a couple other girls. As you enter the shop, they briefly glance over, before returning to their meal of kitsune udon. [21:22:45] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-75-17-56-242.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net) Quit (Quit: zzZZzzZzz.) [21:24:57] * Megumi is now known as Yon [21:46:57] [Session End] End of #Youkai buffer Thu Jul 02 21:47:14 2009
