"Hey, have you heard? There's a new level 5 esper in the city!" said a female youth, with a cheerful tone, "This would be the eighth one, too!" she added, her female friend replied with a bitter face, "I kinda heard this too... and I wouldn't be lying if I said that I'm not jealous. What kinda person is this esper, anyway?" and the reply came almost immediately, "She's a charismatic schoolgirl, apparently! It was announced through that blimp that she is a pyrokinesis type esper, so I'd imagine she can create lots of flame in a thin air,". Such gossips had been going went around the Academy City recently, it is no mere rumor, but fact. The city which was home to 2.3 million civilians, a veritable Neverland where over 80% of the population was students. The opposition to salaryman teachers was harsh even compared to a normal school, and more importantly, the "strength" of a student was based on both their academic ability and their power, their prowess would be graded based on different attributes, after which their level would be determined. As it has around 1.8 million students, it is also home to countless number of schools and dormitories, for which it is worthy of it's name, Academy City. "Aleister-kun, it seems that our little Star's role has finally been made public knowledge. It seems her flashy debut is yet to be made, how about we finally get the show on the road?" Kihara Gensei spoke over a cell phone, a non-ending smirk loomed over his face, "Ahh... sure, I look forward to it," the mastermind of the city replied, upon hearing so, Kihara Gensei's smile widened, "That's where the thrill lies, we're yet to evaluate which spot she'd serve at the serialization of the 7... no, 8 level 5 espers in the Academy City which determines how close each of the espers are, to the ultimate goal, that is... " ↑ Prologue ↑ Ladies and Gentlemen, potential role-players and viewers, I welcome you all to my next Role-Play (RP), this time I got a request to make an RP, so I thought, why not? This time around, I've decided to make an RP that is centered around the world of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, I linked season 2 because whatever takes place in this RP, is going to take place after all the other Railgun arcs, I wouldn't force anyone to watch the anime to join this RP, but I'd recommend them to watch an episode or two of the anime show in order to get a general gist of things. The main appeal is to create an esper Player Character (PC), make an ability for said character, and play it out, and hence enjoy, of course, character making is part of the enjoyment. (Note:: There are various wiki links of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun given for references and information (mostly, to help players to gather ideas). However, the wiki has spoilers of the anime/manga series and the light novels of Toaru Majutsu/Kagaku no Index/Railgun. So when you browse the wiki pages, please be warned of spoilers.) Rules: If you're new to RP'ing, give the old RP guide a read, if you're too lazy to bother, at least check out the munch section. No spamming. Please don't post a question or two here, send me a Private Message (PM). Only post your character's profile and or RP posts after the RP starts (there will be an opening post). Please use OOC to speak, comment or ask about something while not in-character. Keep all posts under the Third Person Writing format, the reason is that we'll be doing joint posts with multiple users quite often. This is an unwritten rule but common sense is essential, imagine yourself in your PC's shoes with both the personality and the background in mind, and play out your PC properly, I'll be supervising joint posts sometimes, but I'm not going to be *always* around. Keep your posts clean! Make sure your English is as best as possible, and yes, we're talking about grammar, punctuation, etc. English not being your first language is, well, a poor excuse, and just shows that you're too lazy to put in some efforts in writing, remember, RP'ing has a positive effect on your writing skills, at least that's how I like to think about it. With that said, while you're writing RP posts: you're not allowed to control important NPCs without permission, control of unimportant NPCs should be kept minimal. Make sure you literally have time to post everyday, otherwise please don't bother joining, I personally want active players who come online everyday only. Even 15-20 minutes per day is good enough, if you have enough time to make a post or make additions to a joint posting, I'll be content with it. We'll follow PDT (Pacific Time). So make sure you're able to post at least once, especially when the RP is active and not dying, anyway. Inability to follow rules may result you to be removed from the RP. Character creation: Spoiler: Basic Information Profiles should be posted in the thread. Normal information about your Player Character (PC), are all to be included in the profile. The profiles should be done in a similar manner and fill in the following: Name: The PC's name, write down the full name and, if any the nickname. If the character is Japanese, put the Surname before the Other name, otherwise, naturally, the Other name will come before the Surname. Gender: Specify whether the PC's sex is male or female. Age: How many years old your PC is. Appearance: How your PC looks; you may describe with words, but I'll always be preferring a picture over descriptions. But even if you do provide a picture, you may put notes of the distinct features opposing to the picture you provide. I'd urge you to put some details regarding the school uniform, assuming the character is a school or a college student. Personality: Describe the personality of the PC, usual and unusual behaviors (if any) of your character, any darker side that barely ever reveals itself? You can hide notes regarding it by providing simple hints. Though I'd prefer it more, if you run it through me just in case. Background: Give a brief detail of your PC's life. No need to necessarily write a wall of text, but you may do so, if you want to, I don't really mind more details. You must mention details regarding what school the character goes into, you may either give a name of a more prominent school from the Anime/Manga/Light Novel or just make up a name or just say that the PC 'goes to a school' but that might hurt the consistency of how others would be more descriptive regarding the school subject, though. Other another note; the Level of the ability of your esper PC may be determined accordingly with the background of the profile that I receive in the thread. I wish to see interesting characters, so, be creative! (You may add things like 'Affiliation' or 'Occupations' for adding more details in the profile.) ---------------------------- Statistics: So, we're following a mechanic (somewhat reminiscent of the Zombie Apocalypse RP's mechanics), where the esper characters have a set of attributes (well, so do any other characters and human beings in-game) that determines the statistics, we have a set of of 5 attributes When creating a PC, you'll have thirteen (13) points to spare to distribute to each of the base attributes. Assuming you wish to make sure your character is mostly balanced, you may evenly spread out the 2 points each to every attributes, and still have 3 extras to have an actual field of expertise, and thus finalize the PC's statistics. You cannot have more than 5 points in any of the attributes. The attributes are as follows: Strength: Combat abilities and physical capabilities, how strong the PC's body is. Dexterity: This includes speed, finesse, etc. It also involves the PC's stamina. Perception: This regards the PC's sharp senses, how good they are at noticing danger, especially in dire situations. Intelligence: How smart your PC is, and how how fast the PC's brain works. Charisma: This regards how social the PC is, it is also about how good the PC is with persuading anyone. Note: Esper abilities can be used to increase statistical attributes' values (especially through the passive effects of an ability), the reverse is also possible. Also, level 5 espers (all NPCs, A.K.A: in my palms for OP-character-controlling-department) will have higher attribute points, otherwise it's not possible for them to be level 5 itself, their capabilities will be otherwise undefined. ---------------------------- Esper Ability: In this part, you're required to explain what ability your PC possesses, it is optional to include details of the PC's personal reality, but you must include how the ability works, and add as much details as possible, if I deem the details not good enough, I may ask you to add more via PM. I'd recommend making actual scientific justifications, depending on the ability you choose for your PC to have. You can use the wikia to find an ability that would fit your PC (depending on what you choose and your PC, I might have you change it), or you can take ideas. Name of the Ability: Write the name of the ability. Type of ability: There are a few branches of abilities through which abilities are categorized. I.E: Electromaster, Pyrokinesis, Hydro Hand, Telekinesis, Psychometry, Aero Hand, etc. Active or Passive?: This asks whether the PC's Esper Ability is Active, or Passive. Put either 'Active' or 'Passive'. Of course, that depends on your PC's esper Ability itself. Active abilities refers to an esper knowingly having to use his power to create an effect on reality, whilst passive abilities has the esper subconsciously effect reality with their abilities. However, both can be present at the same time in an esper, such as Accelerator's subconscious reflection ability (in this case the answer would be 'both'). Esper's Ability: Include details of the ability. I.E: How it works, when it works (if any such conditions), in what manner it works, range or limits (if any), in what ways the ability can generally for used for. No need to point out pros and cons. Scientific justifications and explanation behind the phenomena(s) caused due to the power (if you can). Power Level: This is determined by the Esper Ability itself, it is partially determined by the background as well (meaning: statistics). Note that it is not allowed for a player to set the Power Level of their PC, once you post the profile, or show it to me via PM before you post it, I'll be going through the whole profile to determine the Power Level of the PC. Mechanics: Spoiler: This section will be dedicated to explaining how the RP's system works. Please note that this RP will also (like the previous one I hosted) have the use of the dice system, as we have the statistics system. Every attribute will be playing major roles in the game, and how they play out, will be determined by throwing the dices. I, as the GM, will be throwing the dices (with random.org), and will be posting the results at the end of my posts (or at the end of the joint posts, if any). In battle, or when performing a task, stunt, skill, etc. we'll have the dice roll in accordance of the attribute involved, and the number that the dice roll provides, will decide the fate of those involved in the situation. Now, as mentioned in the Character Creation section, every PC has a limit of 5 points in their base attribute values, when rolling the dice, I'll be picking a number to determine the difficulty of success of the task, the number will probably range from around 3-15. Why do we not have the luck attribute? It is, of course, due to the fact that the luck lies in the dice itself. For example: lets say your PC has a strength of 5, and he or she wants to knock out an individual in order to have that person avoid learning some secret that your PC doesn't want that person to know, in order to know if your PC succeeds in this, or not, will be decided with a dice rolls 2, the value will add with the value of your PC's Strength; resulting in the combined value of 7. This means your PC exerted just enough strength to knock out the individual and thus succeeds. If say, the dice roll gives a poor result of, 1; the failure will most likely cause a disadvantage, or a backlash, and what the terrible price is going to be, will be determined according to the situation and the characters involved. If the combined value goes beyond the difficulty number, there may be a bonus effect. Now, we'll go in-depth with the amount of points for each of the attributes that makes up the statistics of a PC: Zero (0) - Obviously, the PC can't do anything in this area. If the Strength is 0, this PC must be one of those with weak bodies who can't fight or are unable to handle heavy physical pressure, it could also mean that the PC simply lost their means of fighting, in other words, losing arms or legs in an accident, or a fight. In a case that a PC has 0 Dexterity, it could that he or she is hospitalized. One (1) - This expresses that the character is simply really bad at whatever the attribute is used for. A single point in Charisma may imply that the character is absolutely terrible at communicating with others, due to being a shut-in, or not used to speaking with others, or because her throat has issues, or it could even be the cause of her shyness. Two (2) - This is the average level of capability. If you want to make a PC who relatively lives a normal social life, the PC would need 2 points on most of the attributes, for example, your PC can be a perfectly normal runner with 2 points of Dexterity, the PC won't be able to keep up with the talented ones, but they can run normally and watch the backs of the truly fast ones while still running (or well, trying). Three (3) - The character's capability in the activities that the attribute includes, is above average. One can read a book really fast and digest the knowledge with 3 points in their Intelligence, they could even be relatively good at hacking or cracking software when using a computer. Four (4) - The character is exceptionally good at the activities that involves the use of the attribute. For example, say, with 4 Perception points, your PC can naturally be able to sense the killer intent of an attacker through her very instincts in the correct timing and have a good chance of dodging, or even retaliating. Five (5) - The character is a true expert, a genius, or perhaps even famous for how unbelievably good he or she is, at performing the tasks regarded by the attribute; the character is at the pinnacle and has almost no more rooms for improvement. Next, we'll have an in-depth look into the attributes themselves; Strength: Other than physical capabilities and combat abilities, it also determines your PC's strength, to the point that if you put only one point to Strength, you're implying (as supported with your character's background), that your PC is crippled, or even lost an arm, or has some kind of a disease that makes his or her body extremely weak. Four points may mean that your character is either very skilled, or he or she has developed lots of muscles around the body through harsh amount of exercises. The value can be increased via esper abilities that perks up human strength, having a higher chance of success. Dexterity: It effectively reflects your PC's agility in terms of combat, but at the same time it shows how fast your character is at performing certain tasks, this ranges from jogging (that also includes speed in just about any sports) from computing speed to mind-calculations when using esper abilities, to even your PC's very reserve of stamina. Three or four would be the required points in order to be known as runners, or even swimmers, in actual competitions. Perception: It's that one ability to actually use the brain that your PC has when it really counts. The use of Perception spans from being able to take proper guesses through hints from words or certain happenings alone, it also concerns the instinctive ability to feel blood-lust, killer intent, violent aura, evil vibes, etc. or feel a coming attack, or someone about to make a move. It is necessary for either figuring things out, or taking action at the correct timing. Intelligence: This attribute determines whether your PC has the brain of a bird, or the brain of a sane human being, or that of a genius... or one of whom who is known to be insanely intelligent. Above 3 is required to have the career for a Teacher, and also to be a Scientist, Doctor, and the many fields of expertise that requires knowledge of any type of science. This includes even the skills and fast-paced mind required for being a software developer, to being a cunning hacker. The person with high values of this attribute may also be a historian, and have knowledge of many events from past eras and generations. Low points in this attribute means the PC is simply not gifted. 2 is at least required for doing calculations for using esper abilities proper and timely manner. Charisma: An important trait your PC would require to delve into the society, are points in this particular attribute. From getting to know people, to making friends, to showing leadership skills, to impressing, deceiving, or even scooping information out of people, can all be achieved through Charisma, depending on the base value of the Charisma your PC has. Above average (meaning 3 or more) will be required to make speeches that appropriately conveys your message, the purpose may even be to move a person's heart, or for even acting the motive can vary; it all ultimately leads to manipulating people with proper ways of dealing with them, and the effects can be magnified, through, for example, use of psychometry abilities, including brainwashing, telepathy, hypnosis, or even mind-control. About the RP: Spoiler: - You play as a character who has appeared into the Academy City either months ago, or years ago, or from a very young age (your decision), the time is set sometime after the arcs of Railgun manga has ended (you don't really need to know what happened in the arcs). - The currency is, obviously, Yen, because the Academy City is still a city of Japan. - Your character, must be a teenage, you can choose to play as a child esper (I.E: age below 11), but her power level will be low, most likely 0-2. - The character can be a middle schooler, or highschooler, even a College student (age range: 17-19). - The RP is set to start at September 28th, 20XX. - This is more of an advice but, try to make the character creative to contribute to the uniqueness of the RP itself. There will be a few special NPCs made for the sake of the plot, but I want more interesting things in this RP. What I want are actual interactions between characters and some battles that won't last till the end of time. - Remember that you don't have to make your character capable of everything (level 5 is not allowed for players, anyway), because that's where team-play comes may come in handy. You can't trust yourself to do everything, you and your partners/friends can divide all the tasks among yourselves when actually trying to do something. I expect all or half of the PCs to form a team or two unless they're hinted to be put against each other for competition. Or else you're not playing it right. Lone path is the path of death, more like, death to the RP because it just gets boring. - I'll be playing a character that is a mix of a PC and an NPC, who is Shokuhou Misaki from the anime/manga and the light novels. She is a level 5 who will play a major role in the RP's plot. I'll also be playing many other NPCs, notably the Railgun, Mikoto Misaka and the special level 5 who is created for the plot of this RP; Natsu. - Players are disallowed from playing Level 5 characters. - Level 5 characters will have their statistics based on different manners, that means that they're not limited to the 13 points, otherwise their abilities are simply unjustifiable, and they won't be able to be the Super Powers who can handle themselves against an entire military. - I'll be posting results of the dice rolls whenever possible and also may give explanations as so what happens why, and for what reason - after rolling the dices. - I can't convince anyone that I'm the perfect Game Master (GM) who will play as fairly as possible, so I'm just going to ask you prospective players to simply bear with me. That's all I can ask of you all. Terminology: Spoiler: Note: Ignore this section if you've watched the anime/manga series or read the light novels ( because it's a wall of text). However, I'd ask people who haven't watched the anime/manga series to take some time to get familiar with some of the terms. Most information regarding the terms are given in order to avoid confusions. The wiki still has more information, so you may visit that site if you want to learn more. This section is for those who barely knows anything about the Terminology that the World of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun runs under. So basically, this section contains some basic facts. ----------- Esper: Otherwise addressed as an "Ability User" is a term used to refer to a person who emits AIM. Although, it is generally used to refer to people who have gone through Academy City's Power Curriculum Program. Espers' strength, capabilities and abilities are classified based on levels; Level 0 - Person with No Powers - Exceptions aside, cannot be considered completely powerless, but is considered one of the so-called "students that can't keep up at school". Might possess some degree of power, but unable to truly control it. Level 1 - Person with Low Powers - Powers of the degree to bend a spoon, many students belong here. Level 2 - Person with Unusual Powers - Just like Level 1, powers are not very useful in everyday life. It is the lowest level required to enter the Kirigaoka Girls' Academy, which only lets female students with rare abilities enroll. Level 3 - Person with strong powers - The degree when powers are considered convenient in everyday life, ability-wise this is the Level when one starts to be treated as part of the elite. It is the lowest level for which female students are allowed to enroll the Tokiwadai Girls' Middle School. Level 4 - Person with strong powers - Powers of an extent that their wielder acquires tactical value of a military force. Level 5 (only GM/NPC) - Person with super powers - Powers of an extent that their wielder can fight alone against a military force on equal terms. Level 5 users are known to be truly powerful, some may even refer to them as the 'monsters' (In-game: they have more statistical values due to possessing exceptionally superior talents). Level 6 - Person with Absolute Powers - Powers of an extent that they're considered immeasurable. However, nobody has been able to achieve it yet. Academy City: Academy City, is a landlocked sovereign city-state whose territory consists of a walled enclave within the Tokyo Metropolitan Employment Area. It is the primary setting for this RP. As the city's name suggests, it is a city of several schools and institutions of higher learning from kindergarten to university level that learn side-by-side along with the scientists who research on psychic powers and higher technology, the latter being one of the primary reasons for its establishment. It is the most advanced city in the world and its technology is said to be 30 years ahead of the world. Academy City is composed of 23 districts, called School Districts which are simply numbered from one to twenty-three and each of these districts have a specific purpose. There is a Map section below which has more details regarding each districts, and illustrates the city. Power Curriculum Program: It is a special large-scale curriculum in Academy City taken alongside a regular curriculum, designed to unlock a student's potential in gaining and improving supernatural powers. All those who have gone through the program are called espers, regardless of level, though some people, such as Skill-Out, may choose to refer to those who actually show powers as espers. The program's aim is for the student to attain their own Personal Reality, a term referring to normal reality being replaced by a person's own reality, which is the basis for gaining powers that often defy normal reality. Through a series of tests, studies, lectures, medicines, body stimulation (drugs injected directly into a blood vessel, brain being pierced directly from behind the ear..) and hypnosis, a person's brain can be modified so that they can unlock their very own Personal Reality. Apparently, the program uses doublespeak in order for the city to deceive observers of the true nature of the many tests in the program, such as "recording skills" and "memorization skills". This is justifiable as some tests such as the ability to bend spoons can be dangerous due to the risk of trauma, tearing the blood vessels in brain and possibly something malignant such as RSPK Syndrome. The curriculum not only covers how to attain personal reality and powers, but also various concepts associated with it, such as basic Quantum Mechanic principles, as well as the effects of their powers, such as AIM dispersion fields. However, as a result of going through the program changes the body to run in a different circuit, because of this an esper using magic is highly likely to be injured, as magicians and esper run on very different circuits. Joining the Power Curriculum Program is also a contract that allows the esper to gain money, which is automatically banked into their accounts. The more prestigious the school or higher the level of the esper, the greater the reward. However, they are then tasked to participate in more experiments and researches. System Scan: Otherwise known as "Physical Examination" is a regular city-wide testing event in Academy City to determine the power levels of the espers participating in it, and is part of the Power Curriculum Program. Each esper is given a different type of test depending on their power. The test then determines how powerful their ability is, how much control they have over it, and how easily it would grow. It is shown that one is tested in 6 attributes to determine one's level, each attribute has a grade for each one, and can strangely be an individual esper power in itself. Although it is unknown if this applies to every esper. There are only 5 attributes that are known as of now, these are: Precognition, Clairvoyance, Psychometry, Telepathy, Psychokinesis. These attributes including the power level of the esper are later saved into the city's Data Banks. Tests are different for each person depending on their ability, such as having Clairvoyant users having to guess what shape is printed on an ESP Card, and having espers with Telekinesis move the arrow of a scale on a specific angle. Having successfully finished a System Scan, one can either gain a level or remain on the same level, though it is unknown if an esper can actually lose a level. However, the System Scan is not perfect, as one gains a Level 0 if the esper's power cannot be detected or measured, as is the case of Kamijou Touma. This applies to Sogiita Gunha as well whose powers cannot be truly understood and as such was categorized as a Level 5. Gemstones: A Gemstone is defined as an esper who has obtained his/her power without an artificial method such as the Power Curriculum Program in Academy City. There are few of them in the world, and many aspects of their powers can't be described easily. In difference with artificially developed espers, Gemstones emit larger amounts of AIM from their bodies. It has been mentioned that the total number of Gemstones of the world is around fifty. One of the most well-known Gemstone is the #7 level 5 esper known as Sogiita Gunha. An Involuntary Movement (AIM): - Sometimes also known as "No Awareness" or AIM is a term used to refer to the phenomenon in which an esper involuntarily produces an invisible energy field around the esper. While the AIM Dispersion Field is the energy field that surrounds the esper that is made up of the aggregation of that energy. It is only detectable through the use of machines, and is unique to the esper. AIM is a weak energy that is unconsciously emitted by espers. It cannot be detected by the five senses, and can only be detected through the use of machines, barring espers who can actually sense them, or people like Takitsubo Rikou can detect and even track the AIM of an esper. AIM dispersion fields are apparently unique to they type of esper ability, as well as to the individual themselves. With Pyrokinesis espers heating up their surroundings, telekinesis espers creating pressure, and electromasters releasing electromagnetic fields. Those who the same AIM dispersion field can cause an AIM Dispersion Field Resonance, making the effects of their AIM dispersion field seem stronger. Connection to Personal Reality: Personal Reality is irreconcilably connected to AIM, as Personal Reality is the source of all esper abilities and phenomena that are brought into the real world. One can analyze a person's AIM dispersion field in order to figure out their Personal Reality, and in turn, one can investigate someone's personality and behavioral tendencies. Personal Reality can apparently be abused through the AIM dispersion fields, and can apparently be modified through the AIM fields. It would be apt then, to refer to the AIM dispersion fields as the conduit to which an esper's Personal Reality affects the real world, which is the manifestation of their abilities. Furthermore, since each AIM dispersion field is unique to the esper, it can be assumed that is due to the esper's Personal Reality. Personal Reality: also known as, "Reality of Oneself" is the term used to refer to the reality created by students who undergo the Power Curriculum Program, and replace normal reality. As the name states, it is a type of reality that is unique for each individual, and is the very foundation of an esper's power, specifically, it is the source from which all esper powers and phenomena are brought into the real world. The concept of Personal Reality is related to quantum theory. It allows the user to utterly ignore the Uncertainty Principle, and with regards to the SchrÃ¶dinger's cat thought experiment, would allow them to choose the possibility they want, or more specifically, distort a micro world using different laws, or more accurately, control their microscopic observations of the world. This is in contrast with holism, which is based on major changes in the whole "system", the macroscopic world, to create a microscopic effect, which is in this case, their powers. One can say that gaining a Personal Reality means to "cut off from proper reality that differs from ours." It is referred to as delusions, preconceptions, or the ability to believe. Assuming this is so, one's esper powers will grow if they strongly believe they will. Development: Personal Reality is an Academy City term, and is normally attained by person's who enroll into the city's Power Curriculum Program, which uses drugs, hypnosis, and sensory deprevation techniques such as the Ganzfeld Experiment However, due to the existence of Gemstones, it is presumed that all humans have their own, normal reality. Furthermore, due to the existence of Level 0s, making the majority of the student population, the Power Curriculum Program is imperfect. Tsukuyomi Komoe states that there are still laws that they do not understand, despite the fact that the curriculum should theoretically allow the student to gain powers. Uses and functions: It's growth is correlated with the brain's calculating ability, and in turn, with the esper's powers. The growth of the esper's personal reality, allows for greater calculating ability, making the esper's powers stronger. Dangers: Nevertheless, those who have gone through the Power Curriculum Program, have had their brains damaged in order to attain a Personal Reality. The program rewires the "circuits" of the student and makes them different from normal people, in that they are unable to use magic without severe harm to the user (with only a few exceptions). What's more, if an esper becomes traumatized or incredibly stressed, they may lose control of themselves and are then unable to view reality properly, which would lead to the RSPK Syndrome, which in turn, if the espers have the same AIM dispersion, would resonate and cause a destructive earthquake-like phenomenon. There is also a correlation of high level espers with strange or abnormal personalities, exemplified by the Level 5s, especially Accelerator, though this is simply speculation. Data Bank: Also known as the "Archive", it is a comprehensive database in Academy City which is said to hold all of Academy City's data, from student records to AIM diffusion energy field data. Only major institutions from Academy City like Anti-Skill and the Academy City Board of Directors have any access to the Bank. There are multiple access levels, and even members of the Board of Directors can't access everything. Esper Ability Compendium: Spoiler: This contains a list of the Esper Abilities of the characters whose profiles have been posted, along with their effects, this includes the effects each abilities would have on the attributes on users or opponents. [size=14]NPC:[/h] Mental Out: User: Shokuhou Misaki. Level: 5 Type: Psychokinesis.

(This is a joint post between Katsucha and Cinia Pacifica.)

Sana smiled as she wiped the last of her tears, "Thank you, I never really thought of doing it that way. After an incident we had when we were younger; I just couldn't stand the idea of us being apart ever again. I guess I could try to keep an eye on her from a distance,, Sana then seemed to be cheered up and alright, Misaka seemed to be glad, Sana then looked towards to a different direction, "Though, we probably should order something, the clerk is starting to stare..." Sana said with a laugh. "But, you have siblings as well, Misaka-san?" Sana said with curiosity.

"Oh? An incident huh... ? What was it about?" and then she looked at what lied before Sana, there was nothing. She hadn't realized it till now, but Sana was yet to make an order, which was weird. Someone who came to have pastry didn't order any yet, "Umm, actually, I thought you already ordered and even ate your fill by the time I got to you... ahaha, I was so caught up in wanting to confirm why you were at the bridge, sorry."

"Sisters? Uh... ah, yeah, something like that... a-anyway, let's order something then!" Misaka's sisters were something she never spoke about to normal people, espcially those who she just met. She had to try to avoid the conversation and steer it elsewhere, and besides, how could she tell someone she met that she had almost around ten thousand sisters anyway?! The thought of even doing so was prepostrous to Misaka Mikoto.

"Waiter, can I please have the strawberry cheesecake? I'd also like to have the pudding, and also a chocolate cake please!" Sana ordered as she put down the menu board. "You should have strawberry cheesecake too, Misaka-san! This shop's strawberry cheesecakes are really good!" Sana said with a smile. "Though Misaka-san, can we talk about something else? I don't really want to talk about what happened in that incident... " Sana said as she look down, an expression of grief and pain surfaced, Misaka didn't wish to pursue the matter anymore, either.

"Sure, I'll take strawberry cheesecake as well, then," she ordered after Sana, then faced her, "That's okay, I'm not expecting you to talk about something that personal to someone you just met, either. Hmm, then let's talk about a different aspect of you. Allow me to confirm but, you -are- an electromaster, right?"

Flustered; Sana's face turned bright red. She wasn't expecting to talk about her abilities as an esper, but she didn't think that Misaka would be able to tell. Then again, what would you expect? It's the level 5 Electric Princess, Misaka. "Yes, I am an electromaster, albeit my power is nothing so great to talk about, especially if it's compared to your's, Misaka-san," Sana uttered, embarrassed. "But I am curious, how did you know?"

Misaka felt rather nice; her ego may get the better of her one of these days. "Ah, that's because of the Sensory Perception that is unique to us Electromasters. We electromasters can feel electric, magnetic and electromagnetic phenomena, the same should go for you, too, right? Well, there is that possiblity that your sensing range differs from mine, though, that's something you'd know about, I guess," the strawberry cheesecakes were placed before the two. The orders sure were delivered fast, Misaka thought, she took up the silver spoon - which had cute yet elegantly lining decorations - and fed herself a part of the cheescake. It was sweet and delicious, "Ooh, it tastes great!"

"Well, I haven't really have met any another Electromaster other than you so far, and you're really famous. I never paid much attention to what I sensed with Sensory Perception because I got too used to it by now," Sana still feltslightly flustered, not remembering about the Sensory Perception that is unique to Electromasters added more to it. "Didn't I tell you?! Their strawberry cheesecakes are the best from around here! You should also try some of the other desserts too!" she started eating her own cheesecake as well. After taking a few bites of her delicious cake, "Though, Misaka-san, what to you plan to do after you're done eating here? Since I believe you only wanted to comfirm why I was on the bridge," it felt like her only chance to meet Misaka - an excuse made by fate to cause such a meeting with such a famous and admirable person - it made her sad that this may be the last time she parts with Misaka Mikoto.

"I see, Academy City is so full of electronics, so I can imagine that happening, it does become another part of our daily life, after all," Misaka then took another bite, nodding, "I will, definitely," after listening to the final sentence, she responded; still thinking while speaking, "Hmm... I did want to confirm it at first but, now that I got a new friend I plan to hang around with her!"[/b] Misaki gave a smile, then took another bite, "We should come here again sometime, I'll also invite my friends over and have you meet them, it'll be a lot of fun!"

To think that the Misaka Mikoto, known as the strongest electromaster, a well-know, famous level 5 esper would call her a 'friend', and would want to hang out with her made Sana the most happiest person alive; at least that's how Sana felt. "Yeah! It'd be nice if you do invite your other friends over," Sana said happily. "So, do you want to go somewhere else after we finish our pastries here, or just continue talking here?"

"Ah, let's see... this city has a lot of interesting thin-" before Misaka could continue her sentence, she abruptly stopped to flip out her cell phone from the pockets of her gray-colored skirt. It was a green phone, shaped and decorated like a frog, even the back-part of the upper portion of the phone literally had the face of a frog. Something a 'gekoer' would definitely use, it was most likely a gekota themed phone that Misaka got as a result of her childish habit. Misaka felt no shame in using such a phone anymore, she got used to the embarrassment, albeit she still tries not to show it off too often. The screen of her phone indicated that Uiharu made a call, "Hello, Uiharu?"

"Ah, Misaka-san! Shirai-san jumped into the den of terrorists this time, unlike last time! It's in the Third Recycle facility in district 5. Should I let her be this time?" ever since the last event at a particular mall, Misaka didn't want Kuroko to recklessly face a whole bunch of terrorists, since she knew that they were members of BLOCK, a faction from the Underworld of Academy City. She felt the need to deal with it instead. ... That idiot, I didn't think they'd make a move this soon though,, Misaka clenched her fist in rage, "Guess I have no other choice. Did Judgement and Anti-Skill made their move yet?"

Uiharu took a moment to check, "Let's see, it seems that a few Judgement members already went in, Shirai-san, a young girl named Minase Tamaki-san, and someone named Nayuta-san. Some other Judgement members might go, I do know that Anti-Skill trucks and members are dispatched, but they'll take some time to get there. I've hacked into the system of the facility, the place in which this is going on, and it seems like the terrorists are... fighting each other?" even Uiharu seemed rather confused, she definitely saw the uniform of the terrorists from the mall before, and the members of the terrorists wore the same kind of gears and attire again.

"Oh... okay. I'll see what I can do, for now," but then something popped into Misaka's mind, "Wait... did you say Minase Tamaki?" Uiharu, replied instantly, "Yes, she's from branch 169. I think it's strange for a little girl to go in though, she was close by the site when this was reported, so she took the liberty of going in with Nayuta-san. Minase-san must have a really bad sense of danger as a child, I think being around Shirai-san, she'll be fine," a cold sweat ran down Misaka's face, she's literally fighting with fire already, no wonder Minase Sana was worried about her little sister! But wait... the BLOCK members are fighting each other? That somehow sounds like a familiar scene... she then realized what was going on, albeit vaguely, but she solved the puzzle of the most confusing part of the situation. How could she forget that moment when she and another person defeated the whole squad of guards that were guarding a disguised Kihara Gensei?

"Uiharu, I think they'll be fine. At least, if I think it's who it is that's pulling the strings there, but I'm going to try and get there anyway, just in case something goes wrong," Misaka then hung up the phone.

Sana had a contorted expression, when she saw Misaka take out her cellphone. The cell phone was frog-faced, it instantly reminded her that she saw something similar before; it felt familiar, but she couldn't remember it.. Sana decided not to be rude and waited till Misaka finished her call. She resumed having her chocolate cake, but upon hearing Tamaki's name escape Misaka's mouth. It made her very curious, she stopped eating instantly, and she then focused more on what Misaka was saying, "Wait, why did you just mention Tamaki?! Did something happen to her?!!" anxiety and fear was what Sana felt at that moment.

"Well, you remember that terrorist attack from the news recently? They're found on a facility in district 5 it seems. After it was reported, your little sister was close by apparently, and she went in it seems, along with someone who was with her, who is another member from Judgement. My best friend is with them so they should be safe. But I think I'm going to go there after all... I don't know what's going on, but something is up!"

BlinkXPoke Cards and Hugs abound

11 years ago

(This is a joint post between Cinia Pacifica, TheLoneGentleman, and BlinkXPoke.)

Misaki and Ayane had been walking with three of her mind-controlled grunts, they had been referring to her as the 'Queen' and had been carrying out her orders, her power was so strong that it seemed like they really treated her like a queen. They had more men protecting them, but they died from getting shot by enemy BLOCK members. It seemed that the BLOCK members had somewhat grasped the gravity of the situation and are confused, they can't tell who are manipulated, and who are not. Since every BLOCK members wears something akin to sun glasses, or accessories that allows them to view their surroundings with night vision, most of the lights of the facility didn't light up the inner parts of the area properly - to add more to it, sun light definitely doesn't reach inside the place.

As Sadao overlooked the monitors he saw that many of them were disabled. He was blind to the location of the girl or those in charge of the enemy force. He hated going in withouit a plan, but in a situation such as this, he needed to act fast and think on his toes. Releasing the clip on his gun he checked his ammo. 56 shots left...not bad, he thought as he slammed it back into he gun. The silencer was brand new so he didn't have to worry about wear and tear yet. Walking to the door he pressed his ear trying to hear if anyone was outside the door.

Hearing nothing out of the door other than sounds of the automated machines of the facility; Sadao slowly opened the door and crept out his gun first. Seeing that it was clear, he looked in the direction of the area with the most disabled cameras. That would be his best bet in trying to find the girl. There were a few vent shafts that would take him where he needed to go, but they'd take to long. His best bet was moving fast and avoiding contact where he could. Taking off he used his powers to soften his steps. He needed to be careful of running into an ambush while he hunted the girl.

The BLOCK members decided that upon showing their eyes; they could differenciate between friend and foe, and whenever the star-marked eyes showed upon taking off any accessory that covered the eyes; Misaki's tamed men released fire, this resulted in more death toll for BLOCK.

Every once in a while Sadao would hear gunshots down the hallways. They were short bursts of fire that meant one-sided fights. Probably just one side or the other cleaning up straglers. This force is cleaning up pretty easily. Compliments to their tactitian. he thought as he followed the commotion. Suddenly, he heard a few soldiers around a corner. Making sure his weapon was on automatic he prepared to mow them down.

Taking his shot, he managed to hit his targets well enough, but the only thing it seemed to do was stun them. Their equipment was better than Sadao thought. Scared, they readied their weapons and fired back at Sadao. Cursing under his breath, he dashed away, covering himself the best that he could. Luckily, he didn't do all that training for nothing. Making it away from them via his ability, he managed to find a way around them. He was worried that the girl may already be extracted, but he wouldn't know until he found the ones in charge.

Misaki and Ayane were apparently now almost close to the room where Fuyuko was kept in. The stairs were metallic, thin-looking, and seemed rather easy to break if they something explosive would hit it. Just as they walked up the metallic thin-looking stairs, a few more enemy members showed up, and before Misaki's guards could react, they were shot dead. It seemed like Ayane had to play the heroin to save Misaki. She brought forth her palm in an attempt to use her ability: Tornado Hand. Shirayuki Ayane had to first channel her thoughts into her palm to make calculations, she was required to set up the exact direction in which the Tornado would go after it's made, this was the most problamatic part of the calculation. She then had to touch something to trigger the ejection point of the wind, hence activating her power.

"Misaki-san, run!!" she urged Misaki to escape aloud, implying that she'd try to buy some time or even try to take them out.

However, while she did it in time, she was too late to touch the wall. After briefly considering whether she should touch the floor or the wall, she found that the wall would be faster and easier, but she wasn't able to do it in time. Misaki also tried to take over the minds of the BLOCK members after flipping out her remote control from her bag, but as they were about to fire, "Tch," she quickly moved backwards after slightly grasping Ayane's hand and tried to move down the stairs along with Ayane, to avoid the line of bullets, she hadn't a clue if Ayane would be able to avoid the bullets in time, but tried to save her anyway.

Jun continued tailing the two girls and their bodyguards, still maintaining a distance far enough to escape, even if the guns were to turn on him. The occasional short firefight would always startle him, and force him into hiding for some time before following again, increasing the gap each time, which almost caused him to lose sight of them.

Why am I even doing this...? He finally started thinking about his actions. I started following because I saw her, but all this has happened... Jun has seen a share of gruesome sights in the Shimizu Hospital, but none compared to seeing and hearing people actually dying in front of him. He became naseous again, halting his movement.

More gunshots and death gurgles were heard, followed by a girl's voice. It was a voice Jun knew. "Shirayuki-san!" he stood up and ran in the direction he heard it from. He came across a stairwell, where he saw Ayane being pulled from the stairs by the other girl in the Tokiwadai uniform, and men at the top of the stairs preparing to fire.

"NO!" Jun tried jumping in front of Ayane, intending to take the hit for her. Unfortunately, he didn't make it in time to properly protect her. In fact, he tripped and fell onto the steps, falling on his face and breaking his glasses.

Sadao had just about caught up to the commotion. Most of it was still quite far, so he couldn't make it out, but the yell was enough to be heard. Peeking around from a corner, he saw a boy trip right in front of two girls. Sorry, Mr. Hero, nice try,' he thought, chuckling. Easing out from the corner, he looked down his sight trying to get a look at who the two girls were. Just his luck that it was Misaki, The Queen of Tokiwadai. Going against those two would be more trouble than this job would probably pay.

Ayane seemed to be angrier than usual, she saw Jun who collapsed down the stairs, she herself almost fell away in the stairs, but somehow got her stand in the upper part of the stair, "What's he doing here, was he trying to take the hits?!", Ayane then looked at Misaki, she simply responded with a nod, Ayane then reached her arm out from below the stairs, and touched the floor in which the BLOCK members were rushing towards them, a small-scale tornado formed in thin air, and rushed towards the enemies, and literally crushed them.

Making a quiet whistling sound, Sadao thought about his options. He could try and retrieve the girl. That would either get him mind controlled or sent into a wall by her friend. For this one-man plan to work he needed to get there before them, and get out before they knew he was there. He was a little too late. Standing up from his crouched position at the corner he slinked off into the hallways before finding the escape vent he noted before. He was sure that Anti-Skill would be on their way too to make things into a bigger mess. Kicking the grate, he ripped it off the wall and climbed in. At the end of the tunnel he kicked the vent out and jumped out before scurrying off the scene.

"Maria, the plan is scrapped, we were beaten to the punch," he said. There was no answer for a little while, but finally she responded.

"I'll be here," she said simply and hung up.

Jun was disoriented from his fall. His glasses absorbed much of the impact, but as a result, they were ruined. He sat up and removed them and tossed it aside, frustrated. "I looked like a damn fool... What was I thinking!? Trying to be a hero..." He shook his head. "I definitely need to become stronger, so this doesn't happen again..."

"Jun, are you alright? That fall must have hurt," Ayane seemed to have an expression of anxiety, as she looked down towards Jun from the stairs, the impact from falling like that would definitely hurt. "Mnm? A friend of yours?" to this question, Ayane gave a nod to reply.

"Huh!?" Jun was surprised when he heard Ayane's voice. "Oh, uh, yeah... I'm fine," he didn't mean what he said. Too much happened at once. He was actually terrified of what he just saw: Corpses, guns, and a friend in peril. It was almost too much for him to handle. Jun turned his head away as tears started to flow.

"Do you want me to remove those embarrassing moments from his memories with my memory-altering ability~? ★", Misaki suggested, with a cute-looking pose, it seemed that she was still relatively calm despite the occurance of danger. "No, please, I'd like you to leave him be, there is no need for him to be any more involved in this situation," she then faced Jun after turning her face from Misaki's direction, "Jun, may I please ask you to leave this place, it's dangerous here," then Misaki snickered, "Exactly how do you want him to escape? There might be more members of BLOCK here, who might kill him the moment they find him."

Ayane grimaced, she couldn't think of a good solution, Misaki suggested, "Why not just have him tag along for now?"

The other girl's words frightened Jun even more. There's more of them!?" his eyes went wide. He looked up at Ayane, with wet eyes. As embarrassed as he was to say it, he pleaded, "Y-you'll protect me... r-right?" he was shaking, he had never been this scared before.

Ayane smiled, as if to cater to a child was who scared of going to toilet due to being scared of ghosts, though she still seemed rather surprised to see this side of Jun, but she somehow found it slightly cute, "Mhm, I'll make sure that you're fine."

"Thank you... thank you..." Jun responded in a weak voice. He was still scared, but he felt safe with Ayane.

GM Notes:

Cinia Pacifica: Ayane wishes to use her Tornado Hand, a dice will be rolled based on her Intelligence to check to confirm if she can make calculations for the ability on time. Requirement for success is 6.

Result: 6

4 + 6 = 10

(Ayane succeeds in making the calculations before the enemies draws their gun towards the two.)

Cinia Pacifica: Ayane attempts to launch Tornado Hand, she had to touch the wall in time to create the Tornado, a dice is to be rolled to check to confirm based on her Dexterity attribute if she succeeds. Required for success is 6.

Result: 1

3 + 1 = 4

(Ayane fails, before she could touch the wall, the enemies would open fire.)

Cinia Pacifica: Misaki attempts to take over the minds of the enemies, a dice is to be rolled to check to confirm based on her Dexterity attribute if she can pull this off in time. Requirement for success is 6.

Result: 1

2 + 1 = 3

(Misaki does not make it, in fear of being shot, she instead moves aside which cancels her usage of the ability.)

TheLoneGentleman: Sadao presses his ear against the door to check if there are incoming people from outside the room, a dice is to be rolled to confirm what he hears, based on his Perception attribute. Requirement for success is 7.

Result: 5

3 + 5 = 8

(Sadao doesn't hear anything other than the sounds of the automated machine running in the facility. It seems that there aren't any people close by the entrance to the control room. It is most likely safe for now as the other members were engaged in battling with tamed members of BLOCK.)

TheLoneGentleman: Sadao attempts to shoot down some of the members of BLOCK (most like tamed by Misaki) who seemed to be close around the corner. A dice is to be rolled to check to confirm if he properly manages to kill them, this is based on Dexterity attribute. Requirement for success is 6.

Result: 6

3 + 6 = 9

(Sadao manages to take proper aim and shoots at them. It seemed that they didn't realized Sadao taking action towards them.)

TheLoneGentleman: Sadao's bullets does hit the enemies, but a dice must be rolled based on Strength attribute to confirm if the shots managed to kill his enemies. Requirement for success is 7.

Result: 1

3 + 1 = 4

(Sadao's aim was indeed proper, but BLOCK members are equipped with proper gears as well. The bullets didn't pierce as properly as they normally should, so his enemies survives, and they frantically decide to shoot back towards Sadao.)

TheLoneGentleman: Sadao now decides to run, since he couldn't take them out with the element of surprise, he's heavily outnumbered in this case. A dice is to be rolled to check to confirm based on his Dexterity attribute if he can dodge the bullets and run away. Requirement for success is 7.

Result: 6

3 + 6 = 9

(Sadao manages to cover his chest with some of the nitrogen he harnessed with his power from the air, and covered it with his legs too for a boost of speed. Resulting in +2 in Strength and +1 in Dexterity. Sadao manages to escape.)

BlinkXPoke: Jun intends to take the hit in Ayane's stead, by getting in front of her. A dice is to be rolled to check to confirm if Jun manages to get in front of Ayane in time, this will be based on his Dexterity attribute. Requirement for success is 5.

Result: 1

2 + 1 = 3

(Jun frantically runs, but he was hurrying so much that he accidentally slips, and falls down the stairs instead.)

Cinia Pacifica: Misaki watches the boy (Jun) fall down the stairs, she found that it was up to her to save Ayane, and attempts to forcefully pull Ayane down the stairs. A dice is to be rolled to check to confirm if she succeeds, based on her Strength attribute. Requirement for success is 5.

Result: 3

2 + 3 = 5

(Misaki manages to pull down Ayane in time, but too much time elapsed since the enemy BLOCK members aimed to fire. Resulting in Misaki pulling a little bit late, which causes a bullet or two to graze Ayane's left arm.)

"I'll come with you! I know it's part of her job but I can't just stand the idea of her fighting terrorists," Sana said feeling very anxious. "I know I'm not as strong as you are, but I can still take care of myself, please let me go with you, Misaka-san!"

"Alright, I had a feeling you'd get really worried from hearing me talking on the phone anyway. Let's go!" Misaka quickly paid for her strawberry cheesecake, and ran out the pastry store.

Sana left the money she owed, and started following Misaka. "Do you know how to get there as quick as possible Misaka-san. I never been to District 5, so I really have no clue how to get there!" Sana said as she ran behind Misaka.

"Yeah! Can you jump walk around the walls and ceilings with electromagnetic field?! We can use electromagnetism to our advantage to move faster!"

"Yeah! Thats very easy for me to do. Though how long you think it will take us to get there?

"Let's just say that I'm hoping for you to be good at jumping from one building to another till we get there! I can't tell how long it'd take, but it's the fastest way I can think of, instead of waiting for a bus or something!!"

"Umm... okay then, though I'll admit that it's been a while since I have actually done something like that," Sana said as she felt a bit embarrassed remembering her early days when she first became an Esper and she was testing out her powers.

"Let's do it anyway, I'll carry you if you fail to keep up!" as Misaka said that, she jumped up and instantly stood atop a building.

Sana was able to follow Misaka for a while. She didn't think she'd be able to keep up with Misaka, so she felt a bit surprised, but then she noticed that her body started to feel really tired, and heavier as every seconds passed. It's been a few months since she last did something like this, the straining that came with not being used to such heavy exercises of both mind and body took started to take it's toll on Sana. When she first got level 4 back then, she practiced for a good month and thought that she wouldn't need to keep practicing and thus, stopped. "Misaka-san... how much longer tilll we get ther...." losing concentration, Sana body had given out on her and she slipped as she tried landing on the next building.

Misaka felt that something was wrong with the way she spoke the last sentence, she looked back immediately, and saw her slipping as she tried to land on the building, Misaka hurriedly reached out for her hand, and caught her, then pulled her up. "Jeez! You almost gave me a heart attack!" she then took up on her back, "Hang on to me tight!" and gave Sana a piggyback ride, and continued jumping from roof to roof. "It's going to take longer to reach that place. We have to pass this by whole district till we get there. It's gonna be long ride, so make sure you hold on to me!"

"I'm really sorry about this. I guess I shouldn't have been slacking off on my training at all," Sana was bright red in embarrassement again. "You don't have to carry me all the way, I should be fine after a bit," Sana said as she felt a bit of anger towards herself for screwing up something that should have been easy for her.

"You don't have to worry about it, just relax and hold onto me, no need to be humble!" Mikoto assumed that they'd take at least 30 minutes more before they'd see the facility.

GM notes:

Katsucha: Sana attempts to use her powers to travel in almost similar speed such as Misaka's to reach the designated faciliy in district 5. A dice is to be rolled to check to confirm if she can keep her calculations consistent during the whole process, based on her Intelligence attribute. Requirement for success is 7.

Result: 6

3 + 6 = 9

(Sana is able to keep the equations in her mind for calculations constant, as long as her body can physically keep up with it.)

Katsucha: Sana attempts to use her powers to travel in almost similar speed such as Misaka's to reach the designated facility in district 5, now it's confirmed that her calculations will be constant as she attempts this, a dice must be rolled to confirm if Sana's body can physically keep with all the strains, humane-fear-of-height, and if she can hence continue to jump from one building to another, it'll be based on her Dexterity attribute. Requirement for success is 7.

Result: 4

2 + 4 = 6

(Sana is unable to keep her body up to the task for long. The calculations and her body are not in sync, and thus she messes up. As Sana hadn't done this recently, her habit of using electromagnetism in this manner is mostly gone currently, as such, her speed is very low and she slips and falls.)

Shou looked over his shoulder and out the door once again. He saw along the metal walkway there were plenty of pipes, pillars, and the occasional piece of machinery large enough that they're sticking out from the wall that he could take cover from. However, the moment he stepped onto the platform, there was no way to guarantee his safety in such a chaotic environment. The constant sound of rampaging gunfire, combined with the fact that the area was relative dimly lit, he knew that he would have to prepare himself. Shou waited a moment, took a deep breath and rushed out the room and down the metallic walkway and away from the direction of the girls he saw.

I just need an angle where I can see them. Rushing at them without know what they are capable of is suicidal, Shou thought as he made his way down the walkway. As the area was dimly lit, Shou could not effectively see the interior of the entire building, but he could make out the chaos on ground floor thanks to light directly shining on the scene; at best, he could see several meters around him unless there was a light source revealing areas further off. Occasionally he would take cover to see if there was anyone in particular noticing him from below and coming after him. It was clear that anyone on ground floor was far too concentrated on what was in front of them to notice someone running about above them on the highest floor.

Eventually Shou took a turn and took cover behind a large pipe; he had a clear view on where he'd seen the girls before. However, they had obviously moved from that location by no now, so he began scanning the area and found the girls as well as a boy making their way up a flight of metal stairs. It seemed that they were indeed fleeing from the chaos below them. Shou slightly regretted taking the route that would lead him away from them, but his regret didn't last long as he readied two metal pins, one in each of his hands.

Li continued to follow the fellow student from above, while carefully moving forward without making any loud noises. The student seemed apprehensive about the situation, which seemed to indicate his lack of involvement with the other firefight. As she continued to follow him, she felt a little uneasy, as the hairs on her back tingled ever so slightly. She moved forward a few more steps before quickly side-stepping around and latched on a nearby column and hid. Then she waited for a few moments to see if anyone was following her...

What? Gun fire? Hono slowed his movements and tried to hide behind a nearby drum. He looked far towards the front and saw the girl again. Now, who are you? Hono carefully crouched and walk from the drum and quickly moved behind a pillar while evading the open area. Did she realized that I'm following her? This is too easy! Hono thought as he carefully continued to stalk from a distance. Wait, where did she go?? Did she hid her self somewhere? Could it be that she found me? Hono passed a column, ignoring his surroundings and only looked forward.

It didn't take long for Li to see yet another student following carefully along the same path, with a few detours to supposedly ward off suspicion. Based on the silouette, he wasn't armed, but she couldn't be sure of any potential concealed weaponry. She waited until he passed by the column she occupied before leaping out to the student's side. Then she spun behind while grabbing the student's right wrist and twisted it to its limit and pinned it to his back. She pressed the arm against his back and pinned him to the left railing as she confronted him.

"Who are you..." Li started to ask as she managed to get a close-up of the student's face, despite the limited lighting, but with a look of surprise, she almost yelped, "Hono-senpai?! What are you doing here?"

"Ouch! Gah! Stop! Y-yes! It's me, Hono!" Hono yelled in reply to the girl who pinned his right arm on his back. Wait, this voice... Hono stopped struggling. "Li, is that you? What are you doing here?! Let me go! It hurts! after launching a barrage of questions while trying to resist the hold in order to avoid the pain, and keeping his voice down, he also desperately requested her to let go of him.

Li hesitated for a moment before she realized she still had Hono pinned. She carefully brought Hono's arm back to a more 'proper' position and stepped back. "I think we're both here for the same reason, with us being curious and for some reason unable to move away from the sound of gunfire and god-knows-what-else might lie ahead," Li replied as she regained some of her composure and then added, "I was following another student, who I think was also drawn into whatever's happening out of curiousity or something like that."

Don't take my answer!" Hono facepalmed and added, "I was here because there was a job call on the other building, and yes, the sound of gun fire made me want to come here."

Then she heard more gunfire and barely caught a glimpse of the other student moving ahead to a stairwell. The gunfire was interrupted sproadically and then there was a massive whoosing sound eminating from the stairwell. "Something's going on up ahead, let's hurry!" Li said urgently, with a hint of excitement seeping through.

This girl... Hono shook his head. "You go ahead. I'll watch your back," Hono said as he followed Li to the stairwell.

Li grinned slightly at Hono's remark and felt a sense of ease having him cover her back for some reason. She moved to the end of the scaffold and then mantled over onto a lower platform, which was just beside the stairwell. As she walked up, she saw that it was littered with bodies, guns, holes and spent casings. She looked up further and squinted before saying out loud, "Damn, I lost sight of whoever's was there."

Hono quickly followed Li up the stairwell, ignoring the bodies, guns, holes, and spent casings. He squinted beside Li and whispered "Keep your voice down!" he bonked Li's head lightly and continued, "Who was it that you followed anyway? Another student from our highschool?" Hono looked back to make sure that they were not followed.

"Sorry," Li replied as she whispered, "I think it was another student, as he seemed to have a similar uniform to our school's. I'm just taking a guess, but I think he was also following some other people who may have been involved in this. But I lost track of them."

"That's an interesting conversation you two are having, we'd love to hear more of it," a shorter-looking auburn-haired girl whose hair were tied in pigtails, said from behind, her fingers equipped with metal pins, ready to apprehend the two if necessary. She wore the uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School. It was Shirai Kuroko, along with her were Nayuta Kihara, and Minase Tamaki. It seemed that Judgement members were investigating, in the middle of all the madness going on in the facility. "This is Judgement, answer me!"

Wait, what?! Judgement? That small? Wait, she's a middle school student, but still, THAT SMALL?! Hono was surprised to see a very young judgement member, due to his limited amount of knowledge of the city. "Err, my name is Hono and this is Li" Hono greeted her normally because he didn't know what to say.

Li felt a shift in the air and turned rapidly, hands and legs poised towards the origin of the new voice. Then she saw the Judgement armband and the pigtailed girl introduce herself as such. Li relaxed a bit, and chuckled a little as she politely 'shoved' Hono away from any potential wrath of the Judgement members as she replied, "You'll have to forgive my fellow senpai here, he's just...startled at your sudden appearance. My name is Li-Hua Hong. I was the one that called Anti-Skill about the gunfire incidents here. But I believe we got a bit too curious for our own good."

The girl from Judgement sighed, "May I know what's going on? Like, I wasn't asking for your or his name. What have you witnessed so far? If it was you who called us, then you should know more now that you entered this facility, right?"

"But for a civilian to enter such a sight... curiosity sure can lead people to trouble," Uiharu commented from behind the monitor on Judgement branch office 177, the voice was transmissioned to Kuroko's ears, "Uiharu, can you find the two names in the databank?" Uiharu simply replied that she was already searching.

Li sighed and shrugged as she replied, "Unfortunately, I don't know much more. All I saw directly were the bodies of these militants or terrorists, but not who or why they were killed. Hono-senpai and I followed another person, maybe a student, further in but we lost track of them at the top of this stairwell, just before you showed up," Li knew there was not much else she could do but to tell the seemingly competent Judgement officer all she knew.

"Hmm... that means there was an opposing force against the terrorists? And mysterious girls... Uiharu, you've been checking the security cameras right? Did you see two girls, or who the terrorists were fighting against?!"

Uiharu in reply gave a rather puzzling news, "Wait... they were fighting each other? And some of the cameras were broken? What's going on..." Kuroko placed her hand under her chin; deep in thought, then looked back at the boy who was with the girl who reported, as he opened his mouth to speak.

"As for me, I was supposed to fix the water leak in the building on the other side, just when I got off the bus from the bus stop, I saw her sneaking in, and I heard gun shots too. So I followed her in. Saw bodies on the way here, and then she jumped on me. That's all, I guess." Hono answered the judgement member calmly while still looking around for threats.

Aside from Shou seeing the girls, who were now accompanied with a boy, he saw several men slowly advancing their way towards the location where the girls were. They seemed to have a clear goal as they advanced while taking cover often, attempting to be stealthy. They were definitely headed towards that stairway, and from the girls' perspective, there would be little to no way for them to anticipate the ambush that was being set up from multiple directions. One of the men raised his hand to signal the other three men, but Shou would not let them go any further.

Shou threw one of his pins at the man that raised his hand as the rest of the men had advanced leaving the man just slightly behind the rest, which made him the easiest target to handle. However, Shou's aim was off; he wished to kill him on spot with the metal pin, but it only grazed the man's left arm and was left on the metallic floor. Nonetheless, he immediately teleported down; there was no way for the man to suspect an attack from a teleporter. Instantly, Shou appeared before the man, and before the man could react, Shou stabbed him with his metal pin right in the chest. The man let out a small cry, but Shou was already done.

Shou pulled out the metal pin from the man's chest and teleported the pin he threw that was on the floor back into his hand; he had a metal pin in each hand once again. At this range, aiming and teleporting were no problem. He threw a pin to another one of the men repeating the same brutal method of stabbing down the man. One of the two remaining men had noticed that their two comrades were no where to be found and reactively he tried to sprint towards the other man that was ahead of him, but there was no outrunning a teleporter. A metal pin found its way to the back of the sprinting man, followed by the immediate teleportation of another metal pin being lodged deeper and close by to where the first one was. Shou teleported to that body, recalled the pins into his hands and after quickly flicking off the blood, he threw a metal pin towards the still ignorant man that continued his advance. The pin landed square on the back of the man; shou promptly teleported one last time and dealt the final blow.

Afterwards, he found himself close to the base of the stairs. For a moment, he was scared of what he had done. Coldly and almost effortlessly, he'd taken the lives of four people, and his hands were trembling at the thought of it. Did I... No... I can't- He shook his head and broke apart his immediate thoughts. He did what was right; he had to tell himself that. Shou continued running towards the stairs with only the thought of helping whoever was climbing the stairs, but little did he know that while he found two girls and a guy accompanying them, it was unbelievably different. He could only stare at one of them in particular: Shirai Kuroko. There was no doubt, the iconic auburn colored hair and the twin tails gave it away. Shirai Kuroko stood in front of a girl and a boy, likely questioning them about the circumstances.

Looks like Judgment's here However, this changed nothing. This place was dangerous, and without proper backup, even Shirai Kuroko would be in danger. He suddenly shouted out attempting to overcome the noise of the gunshots while projecting his voice enough to be heard at a distance, "Get out of here! This place is far too dangerous!"

"That's my line, ordinary citizens!" she looked back at the boy and girl, they were most likely from the name school - evident due to matching uniforms - and continued "Needs to stop getting into dangerous places!... Uiharu!" a voice message was then transmitted directly from the device she wore on her ear, "Tamaki," Minase Tamaki then nodded, and looked around, "It should be safe here, there are no one close by right now, the gunshots are most likely from battlefields far away."

"Uiharu has also confirmed that just now, as she has hacked into the security cameras of the facility."

GM notes:

Gahald_Mills: Hono attempts to get close Li, albeit to be on the more safer side of the sitaution. A dice is to be rolled to check to confirm if Li trusts Hono enough to lack putting up cautiousness towards him in the situation. Requirement for success is 6.

Result: 6

2 + 6 = 8

(Li would trust Hono, enough to perhaps leave her back wide open for back-stabbing because she feels that he wouldn't just leave her alone in this place anyway.)

Xninebreaker: Shou attempts to throw a metal pin to one of the men planning to ambush Kuroko and then others. A dice is to be rolled based on his Perception attribute to check to confirm if he can successfully hit the targeted man. Requirement for success is 8.

Result: 4

3 + 4 = 7

(Shou's metal pin slightly grazes past the man's left arm, and falls to the floor.)

Xninebreaker: Shou attempts to teleport to the metal pins he throws towards one of the men who are planning to ambush Kuroko and the others. A dice is to be rolled based on his Intelligence attribute, to check to confirm if he successfully performs the calculations. Requirement for success is 8.

Result: 5

4 + 5 = 9

(Shou does his calculations well enough with his calm mind, that he properly teleports to the location in which the metal pin lands on; which is the metallic floor.)

Xninebreaker: Shou attempts to stab the men with his metal pins, a dice is to be rolled to check to confirm if he successfully performs his attacks. Requirement for success is 5.

Result: 5

2 + 3 + 5 = 10

(Shou successfully stabs the enemy. Bonus: He manages to take out all the surrounding enemies.)

Sadao reached the area where Maria was waiting for him. "As I'm sure you understand, this means no pay," she said lighting up a cigarette. Sadao ignored her and got into the car. After her smoke Maria climbed in and the two sped off. A little angry at himself that he wasn't fast enough to complete his mission Sadao began to disarm. In the middle of dismantling his gun his phone began to ring. Picking it up he sat silently waiting for the other person to speak.

"I have reports that you have left the scene. What is the reason for this?" said the same female voice he always talked to. Her tone wasn't angry which confused Sadao more than calmed him down.

"We were too late. Another group made a move on the girl. Misaki from Tokiwadai showed up and took over half of BLOCK's forces. Without a team of my own there is nothing I could do against those numbers," answered Sadao.

"I see. I have to say I'm sad to hear this. But throwing your life away, and still failing the mission doesn't make sense either. You will receive less pay, but we will pay you for time spent," she answered. Sadao smirked. He wasn't used to people being this nice. He was sure there was some sort of catch. But mainly they probably just wanted to use him for something else.

"Was their any information you could give us on Misaki?" she asked.

"She was able to take many people at once. Though their skills weren't up to any higher standard. Mostly the reason she was successful was because she took them by surprise. There was another girl with her that I did not recognize, she was an Aero Hand, and had to be at least level 4."

"I see you were smart to avoid that fight then. We will be in touch." she said hanging up he phone. Placing the phone in his pocket he returned to taking apart his gun. There was something bothering him. He was able to escape that place, but everything seemed too easy. For now he would pass it off as paranoia, but he would keep an eye over his shoulder for a while.

Returning to his home he sat in the car for a bit. "I'm taking the Berreta with me," said Sadao.

"Is this something I should worry about?" asked Maria.

"No just a little added insurance. I think I'll start carrying it with me now." answered Sadao. "I might need to put someone down quickly. I'm getting to much attention lately." Sadao slid the gun into his jacket. The gun belt looked enough like a belt that without the gun in it people wouldn't notice it from a distance.

Maria nodded and popped the trunk. "Your pay. And take a few ammo cases from the back if you want. Ill cover them for you." she said. Sadao opened the door and stepped out. "Be careful alright?" she advised.

"Yeah" answered Sadao closing the door. Stepping out to the trunk he took a smaller suitcase than his last mission, then he took two boxes of ammo and stuff them into his jacket. Closing the trunk Maria drove off. Taking a look around Sadao turned heading up and into his apartment.

Li couldn't help but smirk a little at the consternation that the pigtailed Judgement officer showed. She sniffed as she said, "Well, it seems you're all connected through. I doubt we'll find out about what's going on, so I guess we have no choice but to get out of here." She shifted her stance so she was oriented back toward the way they came and held her right hand low, and then the air started to waver just a few centimeters out from her palm. It wasn't hard for Li to hold a pre-ignition state, as it was more to show the little Judgement officer that she was ready to leave, but not as an entirely helpless civilian.

"Uiharu, find us an escape route, we're going to ran our way out. I can't teleport everyone so we can only run," Uiharu complied, looking through the security cameras and the layouts of the entire facility, she deduced that the best possible exit is to simply go backwards from the stairwell, there are only corpses along the way. "Come, everyone!"

"Right, lead the way, we'll be right behind you," Li said as she started to follow the Judgement officers. She maintained awareness of not just herself and the Judgement members, but also Hono and the immediate area, as the lighting was still dismal within the facility.

Finally, we're going out, even though I don't know what happened here. Asking the little judgement member is not an option though. I should just follow them where they go. Next time I should bring a water bottle or a flask or some container in my bag next time. Hono followed the Judgement Member while still keeping an eye out of anything suspicious. And I should ask for Li's number when we're safe outside.

The sound of gunshots continued to echo throughout the facility, but were slightly subdued in comparison to before. It was clear that while Kuroko had perhaps barely heard Shou, the other people that were with her probably did not since he was still a good distance away. He also noticed that beside Kuroko were two other girls beside her as well, likely Judgment members; no wonder Kuroko didn't teleport everyone out; in this environment, with this many people, it probably presented a kind of error that she wasn't comfortable with. Nonetheless, after a moment it seemed they had reached some sort of consensus and began running in the direction he was headed. Shou called out to the group yet again, this time he was in clear visible range since they were headed in his direction, "Are those civilians? Is anyone hurt?"

Kuroko turned around to answer, "Yes, they're civilians. No, no one's hurt, Mister Ex-Judgement member, I don't think you have to worry about anything, taking out those men was, well... frankly, it's our job, you didn't have to do it, you know," Kuroko heaved a sigh, "Did you got curious again, this time? You should know better as you are currently a civilian now, Tsubame Shou-san."

"Ah, I've heard of you, ex-Judgement member, Multi Point user," Nayuta pointed out, it seemed like she noticed Shou earlier as well, like Kuroko did, who thought that Nayuta was actually a mute person, but that didn't seemed to be the case. Tamaki pointed out, "I have no idea who he is! B-But I think I realized him coming! Was just waiting for you guys to realize!" she obviously didn't, she just didn't wanted to be the only one among the Judgement members who'd be labeled the person 'who didn't notice the other person' as a Judgement member, she had to nurture her pride, she just can't let it go, especially since she aspires to be more like her older sister, Minase Sana.

"Perhaps I did get too curious, but that's far from the point now! We can save the explanations for when we're out of here safe," Shou replied while finally merging with the group leading the way through the path he had just cleared. "Do you have a route to the nearest exit? I came from above and I don't think either of us want to risk teleporting others in this mess."

"I've already been told of a pathway that should lead us to the exit," Kuroko answered as she walked off.

Li tense a bit at the arrival of another person, but it seemed the Judgement members were somewhat familiar with him. Based on their brief conversation, he was an ex-Judgement member and a teleporter, given the Multi-point reference. That also applied to the pig-tailed girl as well, given her sudden appearance without any environmental disturbance. As for the youngest girl, probably telepathy or clairvoyance, given her phrase about sensing the multi-point user. "Well, we got a bunch of talented people here, don't we?" Li thought wryly as she continued to follow them out to the entrance of the facility.

Misaki sighed, Fuyuko was found tied in a chair, she was unconscious, Misaki assumed that she'd be knocked out cold the entire time, yet seeing her like this; the first thing she thought is that: She looks cute when she's asleep, although her expression seemed rather pale, Ayane wondered if she was ill. The room was small, some people who were employed to work in this facility were tied up at the corner of the room. Apparently BLOCK members tied them up last night. The members of BLOCK who were in the room were already dead, laying at the cold floor of the room, shot dead by Misaki's mind-controlled men. A beep sound occured. It was the sound of Misaki pressing a button on her remote, taken out from her bag that had star-marks adorned on it. Misaki removed some of their memories, especially the ones concerning them seeing Misaki and Ayane, and Fuyuko.

Misaki's phone vibrated under her skirt's pocket, indicating that she had an incoming call, upon receiving it, she learned that a rather crowded party started in the facility. Judgement, incoming Anti-Skill, someone from Gensei's side, curious pedestrians, the last part confused her. Misaki sighed again. "Are the remaining members of BLOCK dead yet~?"

"Not yet, Queen, a few of them are still alive."

Misaki immediately ordered for them to kill them, and then asked them to kill themselves after they cleaned out the other members; then hung up. "Seems like it'll be troublesome if they find me here, as a Judgement member; I'd be questioned as to why I didn't report the incident in the first place," Ayane asked, worried, "Hmm, I could just alter memories of people who sees you~! And it's not like you appeared in any security cameras here, I had them break some of them," Misaki presented the solution, Ayane heaved a sigh of relief, putting a hand on her chest, "I'd appreciate that."

"S-so, is it over?" Jun stood closely by Ayane's side, still scared and nervous, but steadily calming down. The Tokiwadai girl still frightened him, especially after overhearing her speak. How can she say things like 'dead' like that? How is she calm at all in this situation!? He inched closer to Ayane, and tried to block out the sound of that girl's voice giving out such dreadful commands.

"Yes, now that we found the girl who was kidnapped, all we have to do is get out now," Ayane still maintained her calmness with a smile. She was indeed expecting Misaki to ask her mind-controlled BLOCK members to commit suicide. They were branded as terrorists and they were - according to Misaki - planning to go against the superintended in this city. They'd only cause problems if they were to be spared. "Which way are we taking now, Misaki-san?"

"We exit the room and keep heading further, then take the left path, and the exit should soon show up on sight, there should be no danger now, except with Judgement around the place, we'd need to be careful. Also, can I have you carry Fuyuko please~?"

(This is a joint post between Cinia Pacifica, BlinkXPoke and Montacia.)

The three walked out of the room, with Ayane's hands full with the body of the young girl; giving her a piggyback ride. A long sigh of relief escaped Jun's lips. "Oh, man..." he was grateful, since he'd be able to leave this place alive, especially after nearly putting his life in jeopardy. It was an unpleasant experience seeing everything that he did today.

He paused a moment to examine the young girl they had just rescued. "So she is the reason you two came in here? Couldn't you have maybe called for backup, so this could have been handled more... cleanly?" it struck Jun as strange, seeing two girls carry out something like this by themselves. He would've thought it was it job for Anti-Skill.

"Anti-Skill can't possibly handle something like this properly, not against BLOCK, anyway. It'd only put more danger on Fuyuko. Besides, I don't trust in the abilites of Anti-Skill anyway."

"Aw, you need to rely on us at least a little bit more, Misaki-san, at least rely on me more, your old friend! Though, I do understand why you think Anti-Skill might not be able to handle this as properly as you did."

Jun was somewhat jealous of the friendly atmosphere between Ayane and the other girl, especially in a situation like this. How do they know each other...? Ayane called her an 'old friend'... He couldn't think of a good answer. One is a middle school student and the other is a college student.

But another question came to his mind: Wait, Misaki? Is that her name? Jun glanced over at the girl in the Tokiwadai uniform. It was a prestigious girls school for high-leveled espers, and he knew that two students there are level 5s: Misaka Mikoto, the Railgun, and... "Shokuhou Misaki, the Mental Out?" he thought out loud. That explains a bunch of things...

Misaki looked back towards Jun, "Took you long enough," she then faced forward again. Snapping out of her reverie, "Eh? ...Eh?" Ayane looked back and forth between the two, she didn't notice Jun's muttering. Misaki continued walking - silent.

Suddenly, Jun felt respect for Misaki, after finally recognizing her. He was in the presence of one of the most powerful espers in Academy City. But, why did she risk her life for this little girl? Is she a friend or relative of some kind? He contemplated the possibilities, considering whether he should ask about it out loud, but ultimately deciding against it. It wasn't any of Jun's business, so he'd rather not upset anyone by asking. Instead, he turned to Ayane and asked, "How do you know Misaki? You two seem friendly."

Ayane felt as though a dagger stabbed into her for a moment, the piercing glare from Misaki seemed almost like an illusion when she eyed Ayane for less than a second while walking. "Ahh... It's a long story. We've known each other for quite a long time now."

"Really?" Jun tilted his head, intrigued that Ayane has known Misaki for a long time. "But, she's pretty young isn't she?" Tokiwadai is a middle school, and Ayane attends Nagatenjouki Academy, a college. "Are your parents friends with hers or something?" he ventured a guess.

Ayane gave a wry smile, "Mnm... I could answer that, but I'm pretty sure Misaki-san will remove your memories soon after. Would you prefer that?"

"Oh, uh..." He hesitated. Jun would rather not have his memories erased, but he wanted to know more about Ayane and her relationship with Misaki. At first, he nearly gave in and stopped asking, but in the end, he decided that 'pretty sure' meant there was a non-zero chance he would not have his memories erased, and he will have learned something new about Ayane. "I'll take that risk" Jun declared confidently.
"But I'm not telling anyway~!" Ayane smiled, she had a playful nature side of her revealed, as if a victor for having tricked Jun.
"Aw, come on! That's not fair!" Jun pouted jokingly. He truly was a little disappointed that he couldn't get the answer out of Ayane, but figured, Maybe she'll tell me about it some other time...

"Ahaha, that did the trick to lighten the mood."

Fuyuko's dreams had been peaceful at first; eating lots of desserts, playing at the amusement park, visiting the aquarium. It felt like never-ending fun, there was always something else to do when she got bored of whatever she was already doing. It was then that the fireworks began. The sky faded to black and flashed its pale yellow teeth as it smirked down towards the oncoming tragedy.

Having been dressed up by the land lady in a hand-me-down yukata, Fuyuko was enjoying her first festival at a nearby shrine. She had been dragging her father around each stall, asking to try this and that. She spent so long squatting in front of the small fish tanks, trying to scoop up the fish with paper nets, but to no avail. The sudden bang from the explosion had caused Fuyuko to be frightened at first, however with encouragement from her father, Fuyuko looked up to see f flowers in the night sky. One after another, flares were being sent up towards the heavens, explosions echoing the gunshots that the unconscious Fuyuko was unaware of. She stared in amazement but held on tightly to her father's hand for support, fearing that the vibrations resounding throughout the air would cause her to lose her balance.

"Shall we leave then?" Fuyuko's father asked, as the fireworks display came to an end.

Fuyuko was feeling just a bit tired, however she still wanted to play. "One more, Papa! Fuyu wants to get one more water balloon!"

Fuyuko's father sighed and agreed, "Okay, but Fuyu can only get one more for sure, alright?" Although he knew he was far too tired to continue, having worked extra hard that day to ensure he returned home early so he could take Fuyuko to the festival, Fuyuko's father was determined to let Fuyuko play as much as she wanted to, to make up for the days he had to work overtime and made her wait at the day care center.

It took a while, but at last Fuyuko hooked up her extra water balloon. The old man who owned the stall had decided that she could take another though since the festival was ending anyway, and so Fuyuko happily chose one from the pool. With her two newest balloons in one hand and her father's hand in the other, they made their way back towards their apartment. Half way during the walk however, Fuyuko started dragging her feet. Noting that she was tired from playing all night, Fuyuko's father hoisted her up onto his back, and gave her a piggy back ride to carry her home.

The rustle of her father digging out his keys awoke Fuyuko from her snooze. At first she simply stayed still, hoping to rest a little more, but then she heard the wheezing and noticed the fact that her father was strugging to open the door.

"Papa? Are you okay?" Fuyuko asked as she began to worry.

Putting up a brave front, not wanting her to notice how weak he actually was, "Yeah. Fuyu doesn't have to worry, Papa just can't reall-" Without finishing his sentence, Fuyuko's father blacked out and fell to the floor unconscious.

"Papa!" Fuyuko shouted as she jolted awake clinging on to Ayane's shoulders. She recalled how that night she had been so shocked and unaware of what to do that she simply cried while shouting for help. Thankfully the neighbours had woken up and came out to check the commotion, quickly dialling 119 upon finding the crying Fuyuko and her collapsed father lying in front of their door.

***

Suddenly Fuyuko looked around to see the unexpected scenery. She was neither sitting by her collapsed father in her memories of the past, nor in her Tokiwadai dorm room, which she last remembered falling asleep in. Instead, she was in a dark corridor, being piggybacked by an older girl with long blond hair. Walking on one side of her was her room mate, Misaki, and on the other side was a boy with dark hair and blue eyes.

"Eh, where is Fuyu?"

"Fuyuko, are you alright now~? ★" Misaki asked, she seemed to be acting like her usual self. Ayane smiled, "You're awake, I'm so glad."

"Fuyu is fine? What happened? Where are we?" Fuyuko was genuinely confused as to why everyone seemed worried. She had absolutely no idea what had happened while she was asleep.

"Mnm... " Misaki kept up her smile for a few seconds more, then a beep sound resounded across the steel walls, Fuyuko was back to sleep, Misaki then proceeded to putting back to remote controller on her bag. Ayane looked slightly sad, Misaki didn't say anything more.

They finally found themselves outside the facility.

"So it was you after all," a familiar voiced spoke out, Misaki seemed to be slightly taken aback, her lips stretched out across her face; rebuilding her smile regardless.

The girl had chestnut colored eyes and hair, her uniform consisted of an off-white colored vest, white shirt underneath, and a gray skirt. The same uniform as Misaki's, a student from Tokiwadai, and the other level 5 esper from the same school the top it all off; it was Misaka Mikoto - The Strongest Electromaster. Someone seemed to be standing beside her, also from the same school, judging from her uniform, she was not a known face to many, but she is also an electromaster. She had silver hair and both the colors of her eyes were different, blue and yellow respectively; due to an incident known to few.

Oh snap, 'The Railgun' is here, too!? Jun was taken aback by the appearance of a second Level 5. Whatever happened here is huge; that's for sure...

"Oh dear, what brings you here today, Misaka-saaaaaaaan~?" she wore her usual ditzy, cute on her face, yet she exuded a grim and dark feel to her.

"I wanted to ask what's going on," Misaka got right down to business. Misaka seemed quite serious, sparks could be seen litting up over her bangs, it seemed that Misaka suspected Misaki to have roused the whole incident.

Sana stood behind Misaka, utterly surprised of the fact that the one who stood before them was none other than Shokuhou Misaki, 'The Queen of Tokiwadai', the other level 5 esper of Tokiwadai. Why would someone like her be here? Sana thought to herself. She felt the abrupt sparks that flew off from Misaka's bangs; Sana's eyes widened in surprise. "Misaka-san, whats going on, and why is Shokuhou-san here?" Sana asked; confused regarding the sudden confrontation.

"Misaka-san~! I am not the perpetrator here~! ★" Misaki spoke just as Misaka opened her mouth to answer Sana, "Then what's going on? I've already heard that members of a terrorist organization were fighting each other... you made that happen, didn't you?!"

"Mhm, unlike you, I tend to take care of things more elegantly," Misaki now had a more elegant, dignified and distinguished expression and posture. Truly 'The Queen of Tokiwadai', she then sighed and continued in a mocking tone, "If I were an amazon woman and if my chest were similar to yours, I'd probably smack the members of BLOCK just to accomplish my objective though."

"I wonder whose chest is like that... " a portion in the corner of Misaka's forehead seemed to have something that twitched with anger from the direct insult, which was so true that it hurt, but she made an attempt to recover, "So I was right after all, it's BLOCK again."

"BLOCK? Seems like both of you had been speaking about it, do you two really think the darkness of Academy City is involved in this?" Ayane spoke in between the two, invading the conversation. Misaka replied, "Yes, the both of us dealt with them, quite recently in fact."

"But why did you invade BLOCK's hideout? What's going on?"

Misaki then looked back towards Fuyuko who was carried by Ayane, then looked back to Misaka, she sighed, "To save her, she's my room mate. Cute isn't she~?!" the final part of her speech had a complete change in her expression. "Woah, is that the transfer student I heard about? No wonder they call her the Shortest Student of Tokiwadai!" a sweat dropped from Misaka's chin, Damn you... she really is cute!!"

Oh, so that's who that little girl is... Wow, they must be close if she was willing to go through all this to save her roommate, Jun was listening intently on this conversation, but couldn't understand much of it. This business about 'BLOCK' confused Jun, he didn't know exactly what they were talking about, though he could assume that was the name of the group of armed men that were in this facility.

Shortest Student of Tokiwadai? Sana found herself being unable to follow the conversation, as she hadn't heard of someone going by such a title at school. She then looked at the girl which Misaka seem to have reacted to. A small girl was being carried by an older-looking girl with blonde hair and behind her was a boy as well. Aww what a cute little girl! Sana thought as she saw the small girl sleeping.Though why would they have such a small child here for?

"A-A-Anyway! Why did you make someone call in Judgement or Anti-Skill though? They clearly can't handle BLOCK properly, it's dangerous!!" to this, Misaki seemed confused, tilting her head slightly left, she held a puzzled expression, "Someone called Judgement and Anti-Skill? Sounds unfortunate."

"I thought it may have been a good idea..." Jun mumbled. He spoke softly, so it couldn't be easily heard. He didn't know that it would have actually been a bad idea, and is the reason he kept his mouth shut as Misaka Mikoto was arguing with Misaki.

Misaki-san's acting skills are so good. Especially at times like these. It's scary...

"What?!! But someone did report the situation to Anti-skill!"

"Fwuaa~" a strange sigh was heaved by Misaki, it seemed more like a yawn to Misaka, who felt frustrated from receiving such a reaction, "I myself think Judgement or Anti-skill won't do much good in getting themselves involved with BLOCK, so don't blame me, it's not like I'd drag people unnecessarily into this mess just to save a little girl they kidnapped."

"So the-"

"Anyway, we'll talk about this some other time, maybe if we meet again in Tokiwadai somewhere."

Just as Misaki spoke, she was already behind Misaka, walking away, it seemed that Ayane walked along side her, still giving Fuyuko a piggyback ride, she gave Misaka a slight bow as she passed by her. Jun followed closely behind Ayane, still wary from the events that occured here. He intended to stay near her until he was very far away from the building.

Walking into his apartment he closed the door tightly and locked it. Taking the case straight to the safe he didn't care to count the money. Removing the money from the case he stacked it neatly into the safe and locked it tight. Then he tossed the case to the corner of the room. 'What a shitty day.' he thought taking off all of his equipment. Walking to his workout room he felt like hitting up the bag.

Then feeling the crunch of sand under his feet he remembered. He had ripped the thing to shreds not to long ago. Kicking the lower part of the bag he punched the wall putting a hole in it. Pulling his hand from the drywall he dusted it off. He wouldn't be getting his security deposit back, but at this point he could really care less. 'Might as well get some sort of practice in...' he thought as he took proper Jujitsu stance and practiced his striking without his trusty punching bag.

He practiced well into the evening, and by that time he had worked up quite an appetite. Heading out into the kitchen he whipped up something quick. Just some meat and rice with teriyaki sauce. It came out good enough to eat. Turning on the television he decided to watch the news while he ate his meal.

"Little is known about what happened inside to complex, but gun shots were heard from..." said the newscaster. Sadao didn't notice anyone following him home, but still he felt paranoid. That was first time that he took on a job that big by himself. It didn't even make sense now that he thought back on it. 'Am I really that expendable?' he thought as he stared blankly at the T.V. Spacing out he stopped listening to what was being said. It was just images of the Recycling center and body bags being carried out. 'No...I'm not them. All I need is more power. Then I won't be scared anymore.' he thought.

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his hand. Looking down he saw that he had crushed the bowl in his hand. A small piece of porcelain stabbed his palm causing some blood to drip. Using his shirt like a towel he picked up the pieces from his lap. Dumping it into the garbage he picked the piece of bowl from his hand and threw it away. Washing his hand in the sink he looked at the blood running down the drain in little swirls. Grabbing some bandages from the cabinet he wrapped his hand tightly. It wasn't too big of a cut, and it would heal in a few days. Pushing his thoughts out of his head he walked to his room and focused on trying to get some sleep. But he knew sleep would not come easy.

"Umm, Misaka-san, don't you think it'd be better if we searched for Tamaki and your friend instead? It doesn't feel like you will get anywhere with her."

Misaka wondered who the boy was, though. A civilian who got caught up in the situation? But she had better things to worry about, and listened to Sana instead, "We probably should, I'll get to talk to her later anyway," Misaka then flipped out her gekota-themed phone, then called up Uiharu, "Uiharu, we're just outside the facility, do you know where Kuroko and the others are?"

"Ah, Misaka-san, it seems that they've started walking towards an exit. They should appear in view once they leave the facility... I think. It seems like they came across civilians inside."

"Civilians? Inside that place?"

"Yes, apparently they got curious and went inside to check out after hearing noises of gun shots..."

"Jeez... each and every one of these people jumping into such danger out of reasons like 'curiosity'... " Misaka sighed.

When Misaka took out her cellphone, Sana got curious about it again, she decided - as she waited for Misaka's response - to see if she could have a better look at Misaka's cell phone this time. "Oh, it looks like gekota, I wonder if she's a fan? Sana realized, still waiting for her response.

Misaka hung up on her call and put her phone back on her pocket, "Well, I was just told that they're heading for an exit now, maybe they're about to come out now."

"Oh, thats good," Sana felt a bit of relief. "Oh, by the way Misaka-san you have a really cute cell phone."

"O-Oh! I know, right! I'm glad that there is someone else beside me who thinks that!!" Misaka seemed to be more in a trance than her usual self, that it'd feel like more of a mirage than anything.

Just as Misaka said that, a Kuroko came flying from the thin air in front of her, "Onee-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!" Misaka was stunned for a moment, lost for words; she didn't think Kuroko would do this all of a sudden. Rubbing her cheeks against her chest, Kuroko assaulted Misaka. The sweet, smooth materials that the vest of Tokiwadai is made out of made Kuroko feel ecstatic, as she squirmed while rubbing. It was a moment of pure bliss to her. However, it didn't last long, a frying, static sound of electricity resounded with a spark, Kuroko fell on the ground, steam could be seen around her head.

"How many times should I tell you not to do that?! Perverted Kuroko!!" it seemed that the civilians and the Judgement members came out... "Wait, doesn't that mean..." Misaka looked around, I was right, they're out now!"

Sana had felt of embarrasment witnessing an indecent scene in front of her. "That seems really embarrissing to do in public! Sana thought to herself not finding it ironic that she does about the same thing to Tamaki.

Most of the group walked out content with safety, or in Kuroko's case, ecstatic at coming in contact with others; Shou stood off to the side once he exited and watched as others wore faces of ease. However, he didn't want to stay long so after a moment of waiting, he approached Kuroko, who was now recovering from some damage done to her by her friend. "So, do you need us to answer questions or are we free to go? I'm not sure about that couple over there," he said while looking at Hono and Li, "But I was off chasing a certain person, but quickly lost track. There was no way for me to know that a resource recycling center would turn out like that," Shou calmly spoke to Kuroko attempting to explain his unlikely situation.

"Wait wait, couple? N-no, we're not a couple. W-we're just friends, right, Li?" Hono nervously denied what the male said quickly. Even though I really want that to happen.

"Acquaintances, Hono-senpai," Li replied politely, though there was a distinct edge with the use of the honorific. Despite that, she grinned a little at Hono's awkwardness. Inwardly, Li was still trying to take in all the post-incident chaos, especially given the people present. She immediately realized another Tokiwadai student and recognized her as the Level 5 "Railgun" as well as another young girl. And given how the pigtailed Judgement girl tele-'pounced' onto Misaka, she was probably Shirai Kuroko.

"Oh? You two looked pretty close to me. Apologies for the mistake. I saw you and her covering one another, and if you're not in Judgment, I figured it was a good guess," Shou said poking fun at the clearly flustered student.

Li laughed a little in response as she took a quick look around before checking the time. "Well, as much as this diversion was interesting, if no further questioning is needed, I'll be taking my leave," Li said as she walked toward the gate and found her bag that she stashed at the beginning of this charade. She saw the manila folder peaking out from the bag and she sighed, muttering to herself, "Right, I have to deliver these damn documents."

"H-hey wait!" Hono followed Li and looked back and bowed to the judgement members. "Thank you!" He ran back to Li, just a few seconds after that, his phone rang. "The leak has been taken care of, you may go home and rest," with that, Hono closed his phone. Well, lucky~ I guess I'll go and accompany Li, if she says that it's okay. Hono thought as he walked happily towards Li.

"Excuse me," Tamaki pulled the ends of Shou's shirt to get his attention, "Did he wear black overralls with a hood, someone around your age judging from the height?" Tamaki asked to confirm.

"Hmmm...?" Shou felt a tug on shirt; it was the little Judgment member that was with them. It was still hard to believe such a small girl could even qualify to be doing missions on the field, but he answered anyways, "Indeed. I was tailing from a distance, but he wore black clothing and had on a hood. I couldn't see any facial features, but he was about my height," Shou paused before deciding it was okay to let Judgment fully know what he saw. "He came out from a black car and infiltrated form the side of the building by ripping apart a vent. Once he entered, I lost him. Any other questions little miss?" Shou finished by asking politely inadvertently warming up to the cute little girl.

Tamaki placed her hand under her chin, as if deep in thought - mimicing adults from her work-place, "Hmm... he must be the same person I saw, then. I saw someone leaving through the vents, he was so fast that I didn't have the time to react... have you met this person before? You have said that you went inside the facility only for this person. Do you know anything about him?"

Shou had a good feeling that the figure was the very same person that he tailed the day before, but without any concrete evidence, he had no plans to let Judgment know, "No... not at all. I just found it strange for someone to be ripping a hole into a normal facility. Nothing more, nothing less."

"That's one way to get into a dangerous place," Misaka commented while looking at Shou, then faced Tamaki, and kneeled down to face her, "You made someone worried, by the way," she said, looking back at Sana.

"Tama-chan!!" Sana exclaimed as she ran towards her little sister and hugged her and started rubbing her cheek against Tamaki's cheek. "I'm so glad that you're okay"

"That... seems like something I see often, weird," but she shook off the thought and pleasantly watched Sana enjoying Tamaki's presence. Though, Tamaki seemed slightly displeased, yelping and asking where her sister came from all of a sudden. Kuroko already drew a conclusion, "She is just like me?! Oh wait... it's her real sister, right?"

"Yes she is, Kuroko-senpai! She gets like this whenever she sees m- Onee-chan!! You're rubbing your cheeks too hard with mine!" it seemed like Tamaki's eyes almost looked like black spirals, spinning around with utter confusion.

After having her way with Tamaki for a while, Sana stopped; satisfied, the composure in her returned, "Sorry about that, I can't control myself sometimes, especially with how adorable Tama-chan is!!" Sana said as she started patting Tamaki's head. While patting; Sana noticed there were other people around, two other males and another female,everyone of these people seemed like students. However, she had no business with them, so she didn't communicate with them.

"Ahaha... I wish you'd stop doing that almost every single time though, Onee-chan, it's a little embarrassing in the public," Tamaki scratched the back of her head.

"One should take chance whenever they can!" Kuroko announced, almost about to leap towards Misaka for a second set of rubbing on her chest, but she got Misaka's knuckles hammering down atop her head instead. "A-Ahaha... you two really get along great! Dont mind my friend here!"

The melodramatic scene between Misaka and her friend referred to as Kuroko was so comical that it made Sana laugh. She looked back at Tamaki, "I'm a bit curious, why were you around this area, Tama-chan? I thought you were only assigned around or close to District 13?"

"Hm? Really? I don't think so, Onee-chan. I only go to Primary school and stay there. The office is in district 15, I get work assigned various places, but I've came to District 5 to explore. This city is so huge, I want to know at least half of the city by heart, so as to not get lost in the future," Kuroko walked over to intervene, "You wouldn't get lost as long as you use a map though, right? I think you can get a map with your phone if necessary, especially if you get lost during an operation."

No wonder I could never ran into her... Sana felt mad at herself for not finding this out earlier. "Oh, by the way Tama-chan, you haven't let work distract you from your studies, right?"

"Where did that come from?!" Tamaki panicked, sweat rolled down at the back of her head, she clearly used work as her excuse. I mean, of course! I'd never let work get in the way!!"

"Really now?" Sana stared into Tamaki's eyes. "So If i were to go to your school I'll find out everything is fine, right?"

"A-Ah, yes! Of course!" the sweat under her hair that rolled down doubled, it was hard to lie while forcing a smile on her face.

"Okay then, I'll go to your school the next time I have a chance," Sana said with a smile.

"O-Okay!" Tamaki then heaved a sigh, I have no choice! I have to bribe my teacher now!

"Oh, Misaka-san, before I forget to ask you, think I can get your number so we can talk about hanging out later?"

"Sure, share me your number too."

That's our Onee-sama, she makes good friends so easily. Although... she came a little late this time. Then again, these kinds are jobs are for us Judgement to deal with, she needn't poke her nose so often! I need to scold her about it again it seems...

As Shou stood off to the side, he heard the name 'Misaka', and instantly recalled that the famed Misaka Mikoto, the level 5, was known to be well acquinted with Kuroko. He almost wanted to approach Misaka, but he held himself back understanding the current situation. He'd gotten a good look at the famous Railgun, which was oddly familiar for some reason.

For now he would take his leave. His lust and search for power was barely being halted by his rationality. "Alright, well if that's it, I'm off," Shou turned his back on the group lifting his hand in the air signaling his farewell.

Not knowing that a certain person is already taking his leave, Tamaki was rather taken aback by the sight of her elder sister making a new friend, and with not just anyone, but the third level 5, Misaka Mikoto. It made her think that this was something 'natural'. Someone as great as her sister - according to her - is so great that making level 5 friends is very normal. Almost every moment she is with her sister, she either realizes that she's a far greater being than her, or that she's a little too gullible when she's around her. She wished from the bottom of her heart that it'd be an amazing sight if her sister remained cool and taciturn - as she envisioned at first - like she apparently is at school. She sighed, I can only dream... right? She loves me a little too much, and her personality weirdly doesn't allow her to keep up the facade around me. Maybe I should just stalk her at school... no, actually, I should think more about bribing the teacher now, somehow! ...Anyway, I wonder how they actually bribe, though!

Kuroko pulled Tamaki by her shoulder, "We have to go report, we should get going," Nayuta silently decided to walk along, "Well then, Onee-sama, we need to go for business now, please excuse us," Tamaki frantically waved her hand towards Sana and Mikoto and tried to pick the pace up and ran alongside Kuroko.

"Okay then, I'll see you later, Tama-chan!! Don''t cause any trouble for your senpais okay?!" Sana waved at Tamaki, feeling happy to find out she was okay. "Umm, so Misaka-san should we head back to the dorms?"

"I was thinking of searching for clues there, but I think Anti-Skill can take care of that, I think they're just about here. I guess we should go back to the dorms too," Misaka then pondered for a moment, and spoke again as she started to walk towards district 7, "We're not in a hurry this time, so I'm not gonna make you jump over buildings, don't start worrying now! A bus trip should be okay."

Sana's face turned red, again, when Misaka mentioned the buildings, but Misaka didn't notice the change of colors on her face. Sana still felt the shame for running out of strength and almost falling off a building. "I'm not gonna worry about something like that! I wouldn't mind doing it again, cause this time I'd be more careful. Though, a bus trip would be a better idea at this point..."

"You should probably practice in somewhere safe first. It won't take long to get used to it again, didn't you said that you were once good at it? Anyway, bus trip it is then."

(This is a joint post between Gahald_Mills and sardaukar58.)

The sun was setting down, the street lights were starting to light up one by one. The sound of machinery could still be heard. Hono was still confused about what happened at the area that he stumbled uppon. He looked up and saw the dark orange sky. Already this late, huh? I wonder, Hono rubbed his cheeks, still wondering about what happened before. Then he stopped and facepalmed.

"H-hey, I forgot to ask you something," Hono quickly asked Li.

Li started to walk toward the college, guided by her phone's GPS. She attempted to gather her thoughts over the incident as well as the people she witnessed there. Then her thoughts were interrupted by Hono. "Hm? What is it, Kazuki-senpai?" Li asked absent-mindedly.

Kazuki? God, I haven't heard people call me that for so long. Hono thought before he asked, "Do you mind if I call you Li? Since I suddenly just called you that without asking when we first met."

Li shook out of her jumbled thinking and thought for a brief moment before answering bluntly, "We just met, so I don't think we're quite on first name basis. But you can use Li with the appropriate honorific, Hono-senpai."

Oh god, now I don't know what to call her! Hmm... AH! Hono looked at her and nervously said, "L-Li-chan?" while focusing his attention to her face to see her expression when he called her.

Li let a small smile show on her lips as she replied, "I'm fine with that. Though you are way too nervous over something simple like naming conventions." She noted that the constant noise of machinery started to fade away as the distance between them and the facility grew. Then she pondered back to the previous day when they met and the incident that seemed to involve a number of espers. "I am curious though, after having witnessed your clandestine practice sessions, how do you see your esper powers and its development?" Li asked, looking straight at Hono.

"OH MY GOD, THAT'S A CUTE SMILE!" Hono blushed a bit and shakes his head. "It's just that people are being so serious in this naming thing." Hono said as he continue to walk. He looked back at Li as she said another question. "I'm still far from being combat ready. Although for cleaning and most everyday duties are still efficient, I need to be combat ready for my own good." Hono gave Li a serious look.

"Hmm...that is a commendable attitude, but I may have phrased my question incorrectly. Admittedly, martial applications of esper abilities are fairly straightforward and a good way of measuring one's ability to a defined scale. But how do you apply your esper ability to yourself? Do you want more power to fulfill your needs and wants? Or fame? Or some other reason?" Li asked, realizing she had never asked or talked about this particular topic with anyone before. "I wonder why I decided to ask him?"

Hono paused a bit, "The truth is I don't know. I just want to be useful to everyone. I don't need fame." what came out of Hono's mouth was, "I want more power. I don't want to stay useless like this and fame, well I don't really care. I've got other things to do than obtaining 'fame'." Hono stopped and chuckled a bit. "That sounded cheesy." He continued. "A-anyway, what about you? Do you think that what you have learned is enough?"

"Of course, no one wants to be useless," Li started to reply as she paused to figure out her next words, "I'm not as selfless, I suppose. I see my esper abilities as merely another facet of myself. The development of such is an ongoing challenge, thus, I'm pushing to better myself. I take both pride and enjoyment in the process." Li continued in silence for nearly another minute as she thought about Hono's question. In a brief moment of realization, she replied, "No, I don't. I still have room for growth, but...it's possible that due to my focus being directed on myself and lacking an overall goal, it may limit the boundaries of my Personal Reality."

"Whoa whoa, you're going in too deep Li-chan." Hono stopped Li after she was seemingly finished with her words. He chuckled and continued, "No need to get too serious, Li-chan. Anyway, found the place that you were looking for?" Hono remembered that she has a document to deliver.

"I suppose I was," Li replied, with a slight sheepish grin, before she checked her phone. "Yeah, it's just up another block. I can go the rest of the way by myself," Li added as she started to put her phone away.

"Nahh, I don't have anything to do for today. I'll just accompany you. Besides, I can't let a girl walk around at night all alone, no? Even though you can do martial arts, but still!" Hono followed Li and noticed that she was going to put her phone away. He remembered something really important."STOP!" Hono shouted at Li suddenly.

"I'll be fine. You're not exactly shining knight material," Li said though she thought, "Nice of him to try." Her phone was halfway into her pocket when Hono shouted at her. She didn't know what was going on, so she stopped and tensed her body, ready to react as she hissed, "What is it?"

"C-c-can I have your email and phone number? M-maybe we could arrange a time to practice together via mail or calls." Hono asked nervously while trying to smile. "I finally asked it."

Li sighed as she relaxed a little, though she was tempted for a brief moment to direct some of the remaining tension at Hono's arm or leg, given the misleading outburst. "I think practicing together would be beneficial," Li said, though she noted his nervousness as she added, "But only for practice activities. I don't like to engage pointless or inane talk and text over the phone in general. She then gave him her phone and e-mail info.

"For a second there, I thought that you were going to kick me." Hono sighed in relieved and took out his phone. He gave her his phone number and e-mail info. "Thank you." Hono thanked Li. "Now that I have her phone number, I can text her, but then again. She said that there will be no random texts or calls other than practicing schedule. Oh well, I guess that's a start." He put his phone back in his pocket.

"Mm-hmm," Li nodded briefly as she put her phone away. She started to walk toward the college but turned and said, "Well, I'll see you later, Hono-senpai." She then turned back and headed into the college, though still with a small smile formed.

Hono waved at her and shouted again, "Be careful on your way back, Li-chan~ Hono smiled happily and headed to a bus stop. I can't believe that it went out that well, God I could die happy now, but then again, maybe she gave me a fake number. but, she said that she doesn't like needless chatter on text or calls. Hono scratched his head and took out his phone. "Damnit, I'll just text her just to make sure." Hono texted "'Hello, Li-chan, I'm just testing if it's delivered or not, feel free to reply or ignore this message.' aaannnddd sent." Hono Held his phone tight and waited for the bus.

A few minutes later, Hono received the following reply:
"Last I checked, text-messaging still works. - Li."

Hono replied Li's text, "Okay, sorry for bothering you. Good night, Li-chan." Hono boarded the just arrived bus back home.

BlinkXPoke Cards and Hugs abound

(This is a joint post between Cinia Pacifica and BlinkXPoke.)

Jun was escorted to a nearby subway station by Ayane, still lingering close to her along the way, almost like that of a small child clinging onto their mother. He was traumatized by the recent incident at the Third Resource Renewal Center, where he witnessed people getting killed in front of him. He even almost got shot, trying to protect Ayane as armed men attempted to kill her, as well. He failed in trying to protect her, but, in the end, both of them had come out of that facility mostly unharmed.

However, it scarred Jun emotionally. Whenever he thinks of what he saw inside that building, he sees what could have been a possible destiny for him: himself lying amongst the corpses, having met the same fate. The thought made him tremble.

He was truly grateful to still be alive, nonetheless. He didn't feel completely safe until he and Ayane arrived at this point, where he let out the longest sigh he's ever done in his life, releasing all the tension in his body that he built to this point. Jun turned to Ayane and told her, "I don't know what I would've done without your help... Thanks so much!" He smiled, and continued, "If only I was stronger... Sorry for relying on you so much..." He scratched his head. He realized how much he must have burdened her in recent memory: when they met at the mall, when he called her to that park, and even needing her support during this incident.

Ayane sighed, as the two sat on a bench in the train station, Jun opened his mouth for the first time after seperating from Misaki and her room mate, only to bring back the most painful topic that seemed to loom over his head even now, "I'd like to say 'it's okay to rely on me' but that wouldn't be appropriate," Ayane took a deep breath - preparing her next set of words, "Jun, you're a man, are you not? You need to gather more courage for these types of situations!"

Ayane confirmed that it's Jun's very manner of berating himself that lead him to be someone this weak, it's reinforced by lack of experience in actual combat. He probably never had training to fight without powers, and he never practiced using powers for battling because he didn't achieve even level 1. Which is exactly because he doesn't have a strong mentality. He must project himself as a more stronger person, that in itself can help improve his Personal Reality. "Jun, I think this incident proves it that I was right, you're lacking in self-confidence above anything, I'd have to quote Sogiita Gunha, but... 'you need more guts!' is what I'm saying. I think that's one way to improve your power," her right hand then landed over Jun's head; patting, "It calls for more hard work and training, I suppose," she smiled, it was the same-as-always, that kind and motherly smile, "That said, why were you in that dangerous place to begin with?"

Ahhhh, she's so blunt. Jun maintained a nervous smile as he listened to Ayane. He couldn't deny any of her words. I seriously need to have more faith in myself, for sure, though. I can't rely on her forever. During most of the incident, Jun was cowering as he stayed behind the action. The only time he took action was when he tried running over to Ayane to protect her, which he couldn't as a curse of misfortune caused him to trip over before getting in front of her in time. That was pretty embarrassing...

Suddenly, Ayane starting patting his head, and she wore a beautiful, caring smile. Jun felt his cheeks get hot and his chest tightened. For some reason, he couldn't look at her directly, so he looked aside.

"Well, I think I saw you near an entrance of the building, and wanted to confirm that it was you," Jun answered. "I was already near the facility when the shooting began." That was his only reason. Jun realized this just after saying it, and felt a little stupid about it.

"That's stupid!" was the first phrase she unintentionally blurted out. It was indeed stupid, but perhaps was a little too harsh. "If you know that you're powerless, you're only going to get hurt!" Ayane then pondered for a moment, as to exactly any positive sides for him to go inside, then came to a realization, "Now you just got involved in things you shouldn't be!" it was yet another negative point. "Oh... but I guess that also shows a bit of courage from you, doesn't it?" Ayane said, still slightly not sure herself, "But please don't follow me like that without knowing the situation, if you're so hellbent at following, just come up to me instead of stalking me from behind, at least I can protect you properly that way," Ayane's tone sounded exactly that of a mother scolding her son, at least that's how the expression seemed.

Once again, Ayane's blunt words, combined with Jun's inability to deny the truth in them, stung him. But this time, there was some praise in it that brightened his expression. He replied, "I'm sorry, Shirayuki-san. But, I didn't want to be a hindrance..." It warmed Jun's heart that Ayane cared so much for his safety, and it struck some motivation in him again.

"Then don't yourself into danger in the first place," Ayane replied without any feel of regret, she heard the sound of the train approaching, "That's the train I've been waiting for, sorry but I must go now. See you next time," she then proceeded to boarding the train, unsure whether Jun would come along, she simply entered and took a seat once again. He'd most likely call her up again for training, so it's perfectly fine to leave him like this, is what she thought.

"Actually, I need to get on this train, too." Jun followed Ayane inside, and took a seat across from her. While a bus would bring him closer to his home, the train was much faster, which trumped the amount of time he would need to walk. It wasn't a significant difference.

Jun suddenly felt his backpack as he leaned back, reminding him of his parents' request from earlier today, but seemed like so long ago. Ah, damnit... I forgot to deliver the documents... The office is probably closed by now, too. Well, there were more important things I had to do at the time, like staying alive.. He removed his bag and placed it near him, then relaxed himself on his seat, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Ayane was gone. In fact, the segment of the train he was on was empty. Jun heard the announcement of the next stop, and was relieved to hear that it was where he needed to get off. Phew, good. I didn't oversleep. But, wow... It feels like I just closed my eyes a moment ago... How long was I out? He checked his phone to confirm the time. Whoa, it's late! I better hurry home. After stepping out of the train, he walked back to his house at a brisk pace.

Jun immediately went into his room and collapsed on his bed when he arrived home. He didn't bother doing his usual nightly routine of practicing control of his esper ability, or even changing out of his clothes. He was exhausted from the events today, and just needed to rest. I've had enough excitement for today, anyways...

Before completely losing consciousness, he reminded himself to start an exercise routine tomorrow, as per Ayane's advice. Her smiling face that she showed him today was the last thing he remembered before drifting into a deep sleep.

Shou departed from the group and began walking down the street opposite direction from where the others he was just with were headed. He noticed he was among people at least a couple years younger than him; they were likely high school and middle schoolers and were headed to District 7. For a second, he felt that the incident shouldn't have been involving such young people, but that was quickly swept from his mind. 'No matter how old someone was, that was no kind of place for anyone to be in.'

After a bit of walking Shou hit a main road and immediately recognized his surroundings. He took a moment to figure out a route to his apartment and then began walking slowly. Shou sank into thought after recalling the events that happened in the facility. The entirety of the events was almost surreal. From seeing the familiar hooded man, to the bloodbath that he witnessed, to him staining his hands with blood-

Just as he finished the thought, he froze. 'That’s right… I…' He slowly and nervously looked down at his hands. However, much to his surprise, his hands were still, and his stance was straight. He half expected himself to be writhing in disgust, but instead his eyes grew cold and he looked into the distance absentmindedly, 'I killed someone…'

Shou continued his walk to his apartment. Fear? Regret? Shock? As he walked, he felt as he was missing all three. At the moment, Shou's eyes were both cold and determined. He knew exactly what he felt, it had never changed from the very beginning. The strongest feeling that welled and boiled inside of him was a lust for power that was, until now, far beyond his reach. 'It doesn't matter if I have to kill to become stronger. I will make it happen.'

Shou got to his apartment and dropped down onto his bed. He was physically exhausted from the incident, so the strength in his body completely drained out of him. Despite the awakening of a new state of mind, or perhaps because of it, he could feel mental strength giving way and he was beginning to doze off. One final thought passed through his mind before drifting off into slumber, 'For the greater good...'

Parting ways with Misaka, feeling tired, Sana decided to go back to her dorm room; a bath is what she thought she'd take to allow her body to relax. Upon knocking, she entered after not receiving any reply, it seemed that Kongou Mitsuko was not yet back. "She'll probably show up while I take my bath." Taking off her Tokiwadai uniform that was most likely warm with mostly her sweat from tension and heat, she entered the bathroom. In the hot bath tub, her body finally found peace, taking a bath is truly a refreshing thing to do, Sana's thoughts then wandered off, as she thought how great it is to be a friend of someone like Misaka Mikoto, a person who she admired the most, ever since she came to Academy City.

Kongou Mitsuko walked in, seemingly tired. She attended photoshooting with swimsuits today, most of what she did was considered 'fun', however, all the long-distance traveling was rather tiresome, Academy City is big, after all. The found the room to be empty, however, the lights were on. "Sana-chan?" she uttered, looking around the room; no one was there to be found, a watery sound resounded from the door to the right of the room, but Kongou Mitsuko didn't pay much heed.

Kongou Mitsuko casually opened the door to the bathroom after taking off cloths that were already wet with sweat. They'd need to be washed anyway. With a white towel covering her proportionate and curvasious body with very womanly features, she peeked past the door of the bathroom, only to find her beloved room mate, Minase Sana to be in the hot tub. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Bubbles in the air loomed, the smell was nice, enough to make one drunk to the point that they'd simply focus on sitting down and let all the worries be away. Sana seemed to be in bliss, until she realized the sudden intrusion. [color#9D0A0A]"Ah, pardon me for intruding, I just got back, and wanted to take a nice shower is all, Sana-chan? May I come in?"[/color]

"Oh Mitsu-san. Umm, I guess its fine," Sana certainly didn't expect Kongou Mitsuko to pop up in the bathroom, but she wouldn't tell her to buzz off as they're supposed to sharing this bathroom as room mates anyway, otherwise she'd usually take baths alone. "Umm, if you don't mind me asking, are you feeling well Mitsu-san?"

Kongou Mitsuko gave a forced smile, "No, no! I'm just a bit worn out is all!" she instantly refused that her state is anything above tireness. Her body had been feeling slightly heavier, especially her head. She hadn't realized it herself, but anyone else would be able to see that her facial features looks slightly pale, with a bit of red fluster that surfaced on her face, although the misty and vapory atmosphere would cover this. Kongou Mitsuko sat down, taking up a hand shower outlet, her spray of water fell over her body, washing away all her sweat, worries, and heat. She felt refreshed, but something didn't feel right. She had started thinking about this while she rubbed her scalp with foam and shampoo. The overly nice smell made her feel slightly dizzy, was the smell too strong?

"I wonder why... I feel slightly dizzy. But why, I Kongou Mitsuko should be perfectly alright... "

"Mitsu-san, it might be better if you go to bed and rest. I'll help you out if your feeling dizzy," Sana said as she approached Kongou Mitsuko feeling anxious. She had never seen her this way before, though she wondered if she was feeling like this since she had seen her earlier in the day.

Washing her hair with the hand shower, Kongou Mitsuko nodded in agreement. Perhaps sleep and rest was what her body truly desired. Feeling that the heat and sweat all washed away, and that her body was cleansed. She decided to head to bed. However, just as she got up, the head started to spin with dizziness. Kongou Mitsuko fell, losing consciousness, her face was clearly red as blood rose up to her head. It seems that she has a fever.

"Mitsu-san!! Sana shouted; hurrying over to Kongou Mitsuko. "Mitsu-san, can you hear me?!" she shaked her, but there was no respond at all. Sana then decided to try and lift Kongou Mitsuko out of the bathroom and into her bed. As she lifted Kongou Mitsuko up Sana could feel something big, round and soft, pushing onto her back, jealousy rose up to her face, making her green, then she looked down at her own chest. There's not that much different from hers, mine are only a bit smaller! That's right, that's the only difference! she thought, consoling herself, while continuing to carry the unconscious Kongou Mitsuko to her bed. Upon putting her naked body on her bed, with lots of physical labor that pained Sana to the point that she thought that she did a really big job, she looked into Kongou Mitsuko's clothes to see if she could find her pajamas.

"I believe this is normally what I see her change into," Sana said as she grabbed the clothing she believed was Kongou Mitsuko's pajamas, from her closet. She then tried changing Kongou Mitsuko into her pajamas, but had some difficulties, regardless she succeeded. Sana wondered why Kongou Mitsuko was in this state after which she placed her forehead against hers, something she was used to doing, when caring for her sick little brothers and sister back at her home outside Academy city. "She's really burning up, why would she be up like this?"' Sana said as she went to grab a few things.

Sana then placed a wet towel over Kongou Mitsuko's forehead and put a therometer into Kongou Mitsuko's mouth to have better insight of her fever. "This isn't good at all," her fever was at 38C. Sana decided she'd stay up a bit longer than she had planned, to keep an eye on Kongou Mitsuko and hoped her fever would go down. Suddenly, Sana felt a bit cold herself, wondering why, she finally noticed that she was still naked from helping Kongou Mitsuko into her bed, from the bathroom. She then quickly went to put on her pajamas herself. "I guess I'll work on some dolls for now to keep myself awake," Sana then started working on a doll and kept a keen eye on Kongou Mitsuko as she slept.

Fuyuko had been put in her bed in the Tokiwadai Dorm, in the room that she and Misaki shared. Fuyuko had been unconscious since Misaki used her power on her, after she woke up in the Third Resource Renewal Center. Misaki used her power to not just make her lose consciousness, but she also rewrote her memory. Apparently she had been sleeping since she got tired from school activities, to add up, Misaki also manipulated her memories of the school day so that it'd make sense for her to actually head to bed in the middle of afternoon to rest. Usually she'd just be wasting her day, but Misaki had to cook something up anyway. She couldn't let her keep harsh and terrible memories, she's still a child after all, at least mentally.

It was past 8:00 pm, Misaki came out of the bathroom, after taking a leisurely shower, her curvacious body hidden behind a bathrobe. Sitting over her bed, she peered across the room and looked at Fuyuko. "I wonder if she'll wake up at all, I didn't set any time limit for her sleep with my memory alteration ability, after all~!"

"Mmhn... g'morning...?" Having physically slept for almost a day, Fuyuko had not been sleeping too deeply. The sound of her room mate's voice had easily woken her up, although as usual, Fuyuko took a while to comprehend her surroundings.

"Good night! Oh... that's for when you go to sleep? ★ " Misaki then pondered, of course she knew the proper term, but she feigned lack of knowledge. "Well, how are you feeling, Fuyuko-chan~?" her usual smile that treated Fuyuko as a child surfaced. Although she was perfectly sure that Fuyuko should be alright, she still had to ask to give herself a feel of relief.

"Good night...?" Fuyuko looked out the window, confused by Misaki's greeting. It was then that she noticed the lack of sunlight and remembered how she had went to bed early that day. "Uwaaah! It's night time already, Fuyu didn't think Fuyu was going to sleep this long. Ah! But Fuyu feels fine now, it feels as if Fuyu has been asleep for a reeeaaaally long time."

"Ah, well, I've come in and out several times throughout the day, it seemed that you were sleeping all the time, I was worried if you were really tired for some reason," Misaki then gave a grin, "Fwahahaha~! I wonder if you can continue to sleep like this till it's time to get up for school~! Sleeping too much isn't a good thing! ★" Misaki added, then lied down on her bed, "I myself should probably sleep too... fwuahhhh~" she gave a somewhat tired sigh that had an added allure of cuteness mixed into it, with her eyes stretched to their limits; it was a bland expression of laziness to do anything more for the rest of the evening.

Fuyuko frowned as she realised she wasn't sleepy at all. Her tiredness from school activities were all gone and she was feeling rather energetic."Fuyu might go take a walk around the dorm before curfew? Fuyu wants to stretch Fuyu's legs for a bit." Pushing off her blankets, Fuyuko suddenly remembered that she still hadn't taken a bath. "Actually, Fuyu will just go take a bath. Good night Shokuhou Onee-san!" Grabbing a change of underwear, Fuyuko walked into the bathroom.

As Fuyuko walked into the bathroom, You'd be caught by the dorm lady if you went out anyway... it's already the time for the curfew, I think. It's better to take a bath, I guess. Misaki thought, she was too tired to think about anything more, allowing her consciousness to fade out after closing her eyes shut; Misaki slept.

***

Having enjoyed a long soak, Fuyuko dried herself with a towel and put her pajamas back on. Wrapping her hair with her towel, she walked out to find Misaki already snoozing. Although she knew she should also sleep soon, Fuyuko still wasn't tired and had some excess energy to spend. Fuyuko sat down on her bed, wondering what to do until her small pile of math exercise books caught her eye. Immediately she started thinking about how she struggles to understand vector calculations. The most basic maths was relatively easy, Fuyuko was quite proficient with her times tables and basic calculations, she just didn't understand how the more complicated arithmatic worked out. She had bought some reference books to see if they explained better, however Fuyuko always got confused at the same spot. With nothing else to do, Fuyuko eventually picked up a book and worked through the parts she was good at. Mental exercise proved to be much more tiring than physical exercise though, as soon afterwards Fuyuko fell asleep, lying face down on her exercise book.

(OOC: Bah, I'm derping up with the dates currently, this one might be incorrect. So it may be edited out later.)

It was September 31st. System Scan was scheduled to take place tomorrow, as the blimp hovering across the skies of Academy City listed under it's table of contents. The pedestrians thought: Why, didn't we have one not too long ago?

"Natsu-san!" a certain teacher called out "Please inform us when you can't or can attend classes in school, please!" she scolded, folding her tiny arms around her unladylike chest. "Ah, Shorty sensei, I'm sorry, my manager forgot to call up the school for me, pretty sure I asked him to, though," Natsu replied, her manner of speech had a different feel to it, unlike the ordinary. She spoke in a more slow, yet refined tone, her voice added an allure of maturity and grace - her peers always found it entrancing in the past. Now, she barely had time to go around talking with people. Her teacher was enraged, "You're taking remedial classes today!" it only amused Natsu further, "Unfortunately, I got work, so I'm afraid that's not possible, Shorty sensei" the teacher who was indeed short, wearing pink overalls containing a short-sleeved shirt and long skirt was Komoe sensei, despite her height, she was definitely a knowledgeable person.

Natsu's day had been uneventful, boring, and uninteresting. Until someone accidentally bumped into her when it was the break period. A twist of fate occurred, after she decided to bully Li on a whim, it turned out that several knights stood up to her, Natsu's smile could only get wider.

***

Misaki and Misaka stood, face-to-face. Their movements came to a cessation. They'd have to sit down and talk, somewhere, but Misaka couldn't find a place any better. So Misaki proposed a solution, taking control of everyone in the field outside the premises, where they stood, they'd finally start talking. It was unknown if anyone from inside the buildings found it abnormal that everyone was frozen across the fields of Tokiwadai.

"So, what's going on? What's BLOCK up to?!"

GM Notes:

All Players excluding GM: Dices are to be rolled for all character, to determine how their day goes on this particular day, October 1st.

Dice Roll Results:

TheLoneGentleman: 1

Effect: Sadao had a job this morning, the usual, it was taken care of easily. However, it ended something around 3:00pm; the whole job was a wild goose chase where the enemy frantically tried to drew attention to himself because he wanted to shake off Sadao. Sadao ended up in district 7, he could see a Cram School close by. He didn't think anything, just pondered to himself about how long this damn work took, and decided to head home, calling Maria. A strange thing occurred, his phone wasn't working. The Strongest Electromaster rendered his phone useless.

Katsucha: 3

Effect: It's another great day - the weather is, anyway - Sana realized that Kongou Mitsuko still had slight fever, but she had to leave her alone for class, and she herself insisted that she'd be fine. Sana decided to head back later to check up on her. During school times, Misaka bumps into Sana on recess; inviting to an outing with her friends, Sana tries to humbly decline but Misaka doesn't allow her to; resulting in the revealing of the fact regarding Kongou Mitsuko's fever. She decides to have her friends visit her, as Kongou Mitsuko is also their friend, but Misaka said that after the visit; they'd still be going out with her other friends. Perhaps Misaka really wanted Sana to meet her other friends and get her in on the gang. Later in the day, she found out via Kuroko that Tamaki was following a shady person whom she'd least want her to tail.

Xninebreaker: 6

Effect: Shou's day had been going well, making progression in his studies, and even passed the tests on the university today with almost maximum scores - he is a known genius. Shou walked around the town today, perhaps to waste time, or catch a glance of the hooded man and follow him, or to find anything that'd catch his interest. Strolling around district 7, he found himself a sight he didn't expect, the Electric Princess used her signature move, right before his eyes - the Railgun. He now knows what true power of a level 5 is.

Gahald_Mills: 4

Effect: Hono really wanted to flirt more with Li, he had been looking for her all day today around the high school, but there was no sight of her, until he caught a glimpse of a certain girl holding another by her chin. It was Kihara Natsu and Li-Hua Zhen. Upon watching for some time from outside the room, he realized that she was clearly being bullied, although Li tried to shrug it off; Natsu found it amusing, Hono finally charged inside the room to play the knight in shining armor.

BlinkXPoke: 4

Effect: It's been an okay day for Jun. Nothing particularly bad happened. However, he took a peek at the one and only level 5 of their high school bullying a foreign-looking girl. He knew that he couldn't stand up to her, there was simply no way. So, he decided to go around for help from the teachers, at that time he stumbled across a level 0, Kamijou Touma, he urged to know what was going on.

sardaukar58: 5

Effect: Li had been pondering this morning if her upperclassman, Hono would invite her to a training spree. Her days had been mostly only training in club activities, this could possibly call for a change. One that is slightly more fun, at least. Though Hono seemed to be a rather pushy and nosy person, would it really be alright to practice the use esper abilities with him? She pondered, however, even if he tries anything, she can just beat him up, it should be easy. As she thought this, her right shoulder accidentally bumped against a certain student's left shoulder, after which, the other girl accidentally dropped whatever she held on her hand, and it broke. It was a mirror. Apologizing immediately, Li asked that she'd definitely pay back for it. However, that other girl, Natsu, may have forgiven her and denied to payed for just a mirror, but her smiles revealed that she'd mess around with Li regardless, in fact, she took the opportunity to ask to a certain room. Her bullying is just about to begin.

Montacia: 5

Effect: Fuyuko had been having a nice day. Her progression in studying took a great progression, albeit vector equations were still a pain in the butt. Fuyuko believed that she'd be able to deal with it properly one day. Fuyuko today decided to hang around the city with Misaki, who gleefully accepted to go out with her upon offering. The two left School Garden to roam around. A twist of fate took place, they found Misaka along with some other girls in the cafe they enter. Misaki and Misaka's eyes meet. Fuyuko wondered if they're friends who knows each other.

Waking up in the morning it was the same old routine. A workout, A shower, and cooking breakfast. And of course the out of nowhere job that needed to be solved as soon as possible. Sometimes he hated the unpredictable nature of his work. But it kept him on his toes, and always gave him a way to test out the progress of his powers. Suiting up and grabbing his gun he sneaks out of his apartment, and meets up with Maria nearby. Placing his hood over his head as he climbs into the car.

"I'm surprised they trust me with a mission this soon after my last failure." asked Sadao.

"Consider it a chance to show them you aren't a waste of time." she responded.

Sadao chuckled, but she had a point. A hitman was no use if he couldn't get the job done. But his last job wasn't exactly a hit. He often thought about just changing his title to "Child-Soldier for hire". Luckily today however he was back to what he was good at. The target was another researcher that had outlived his usefulness. Sadao was used to his type by now. But this time he had a shorter window. Studying the picture closely he burned the image into his head. He wouldn't have time to make a side by side comparison this time.

The man had scheduled to be taken out of the city by noon. Gensei's men, by means that Sadao still isn't aware of, found the location that the man was to be picked up. This was Sadao's one and only chance, but this also meant that he had to make the hit in a rather public location. He would have to go in stealthy and end it quickly. This was always easier said than done. The fear of getting taken out makes you paranoid. And every little shadow get your attention.

"We are here. Call me when the job is finished, and we will meet up." reminded Maria. Sadao took the safety off on his gun, and stuffed it into his coat. Stepping out of the car he began walking down the sidewalk as Maria drove off.

'Doctor Yumi will be waiting at a restaurant next to the street' Sadao reminded himself. There were only two restaurants on the street so it made it pretty easy. Knowing the doctor he would be far enough to see attackers, but close enough to see the car. Suddenly a car rode up quickly and opened the door. The escape car was early. Spotting his target rushing for the car Sadao bursted toward the car kicking the door shut and cutting off Yumi.

"Y-you!?" exclaimed Yumi as he fell backwards. As Sadao tried to approach Yumi the bouncer for the resturant placed a hand on his shoulder. Sadao quickly punched him in the stomach forcing him to his knees and then kicked him onto his back. Staring where Yumi used to be he saw nothing, but the back kitchen door in the back swinging. Charging through he followed.

The chase took him into the cities public stretches as Sadao had to avoid making himself too known, but still follow the crazed man. This game of cat and mouse took them far away from the original spot and into District 7, but finally Sadao cornered him. Full of anger at how hard he had to work for this pathetic man Sadao decided to beat him to death. The gun he brought was to quick. After a satisfying beat down Sadao put a bullet in his head just to be sure the job was done. Taking out his phone he called Maria to schedule a pick up, and a clean up.

"zzzzz........"

'Of all the times for this piece of...' thought Sadao. Walking slightly out to the street Sadao cursed his terrible luck.

Hono's day started normally, the sky was clear, people were talking to each other, and the company texted him to take a day off. Hono was surprised to see that his boss was being strangely nice. He decided to go to school with his usual attire. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Hono quickly took a small canteen of water and put it in his pocket. He decided to always bring at least a bottle for protection or practice when he was on lunch break.

During class, Hono was bored. Nothing interesting was happening and it was still long from lunch break. He opened his text book and thought, Maybe I'll go meet Li when it's time to go out. Texting her when studying could be a mess. I could use practice as an excuse.

The school bell rang, Hono rushed out as the teacher said that it's time to go out. Now, where did that Li go? Hono walked around the school to find Li. He was about to text her and stopped when he was going to reach his phone. He remembered that it was 'forbidden' to text her other than practice schedule. Hono decided to search for her. He searched the cafetaria, gym and the gardens.

Hono gave up and decided to check on the classes. Maybe she's hanging out with her friends. He checked the first class. It was empty. He checked another class, empty also. Where could she be? She can't be in these classes, maybe she's in those rooms for club activities. Hono thought as he quickly go to said rooms. Just as he arrived, he saw 2 shadows in one of the rooms. The room's door was half open so he peeked in. Inside, he saw a certain girl that he seemed familiar, holding another girl's chin who looked like Li. Is that, Li? Is she being bullied? Hono took a closer look. SHE IS LI! Hono rushed in and yelled, ”STOP!”

Li had managed to deliver the documents just in time, though she had to give a simplified explanation as to why she was late yesterday afternoon. With the resulting excitement of yesterday's events, Li had some trouble sleeping. But she managed to get up early enough to barely make it to her classroom right before the bell.

She forced herself to maintain her focus during the first few classes, but as soon as the bell rang and a break period started, she sighed as she got up and stretched. She left the classroom and walked around aimlessly.

"I don't know if I should go to the Kendo Club today. There's nothing wrong with the club, but maybe a chance of pace would be a good thing," Li thought as she absent-mindedly went up the next stairwell to the hallway where the second-year classrooms were located. "It's especially true if I worked on my esper abilities with Hono-senpai. Though he did seem a bit aggressive with urging us to practice, but then again, I can easily handle him if he tried anything foolish."

Before she could ponder any further, she felt her shoulder bump into someone else, which then followed by an object falling to the floor and shattering. She quickly shook out of her reverie and realized she bumped into a second-year female student and caused her to drop a mirror.

"Ah, I'm very sorry, senpai! I'll pay whatever is needed to replace that!" Li quickly said, her face burning a little with shame as she bowed to the student. As she raised her head, she then realized who it was: Kihara Natsu, the big celebrity of the school due to her achieving the vaunted Level 5. From what Li had observed before, Kihara-senpai seemed to be a rather cool and charismatic figure; many student within the school looked up to her. But to Li, something seemed a bit sketchy about her, something beyond the smile.

And the same smile that Li saw at the moment, which made her unusually uneasy, as Kihara asked to talk to her inside an unused clubroom with an easygoing attitude that implied she'd forgiven Li. Then Kihara suddenly moved close and grabbed Li by her chin, with the same eerie smile still planted. Li tensed her body almost involuntarily from the sudden move as she exclaimed, "What are you doing...?!

The lights of the sun mercilessly fell to the floors of the room, by the windows, two long shadows stretched all the way towards the exit. Natsu's glare pierced into her underclassman's eyes. It was a deep stare after she raised her chin, but at the same time, it was a cold and borderline heartless look. She cracked a smile, "How do you plan to pay me back, do tell? I'm all ears," the calmness seemed so firm that one would think that even a natural hazard wouldn't be able to break it. Her voice was sweet, yet it held depth, at the same time, one could say that it was rather mirthless, at least until another student rushed into the scene.

Her jollity jumped to new heights - her reaction, followed by the entrance of a knight in a shining armor was too amusing of a scene that she could only see in the studios and televisions. Natsu chuckled, "Is this your knight?" she looked behind her, and then back to her 'prey', her expression took a slight change, the mirth had surfaced in the expression. "There were... two people peeking, was it?" her hand slipped to the underclassman's chest, and grasped onto a soft portion which bulged out through her uniform. She said while continuing to gently caress "Mnm... not bad, for a high school student,"
