You know what they say, assumptions make an ass out of you and me. [The Lab seems to have calmed down now, but he's still keeping a firm hand on the leash just in case.] You can kick my ass after I've done something to deserve it.

[icy_heavens]

[He doesn't have any particular thoughts on the education system as a whole. Then again, he is twelve.]

Kind of, yeah.

[ghostly_heiress]

[She has some thoughts herself. If only because she had way too much free time and was encouraged to think of things thirteen years old shouldn't think.]

Oh. [She blushes a bit, embarrassed. Ugh, no, she can't be silent, he might make comment on the embarrassment and it'll be awkward. And the conversation had been going REALLY WELL and she doesn't want that.]

Well, always room for improvement, right? Perfection needs practice!

[beleg]

She is. That's the first thing I got done after I got her. But I really rather find her myself.[The microchip was no guarantee against accidents. The arrive at the nearest playground and Beckett began to call for his cat again.]

[beleg]

That sounds perfect. [Beckett give Julien a polite nod and starts jogging back towards his own home.]

[gogoghostpowers]

Okay. Okay, good. [He drops his hands and stops fussing with the hat.]

Look, I can't--I can't really explain all of this to you right now, right here, but...you probably have this really weird number stuck in your head, right? Try writing it down somewhere, that should explain it.

[elegantsoldier]

You're welcome, Kwan-san, it was my pleasure [She nearly stumbles when the bus lurches but manages to move aside so he can pass by more easily to get off.]

[qiangdajie]

Like calling me an ass? That count as something that deserves it?

[ Jane's getting visibly annoyed now, even if the dog is cute as hell. ]

[qiangdajie]

[ She smiles, a little smug and proud of herself. ] Your skin tone of course! And your eyes, and your hair. Those colors would set everything off pretty nicely. Brown would also make your eyes pop, which could be really cute.

[qiangdajie]

[ She wears her whole life on her sleeve, so maybe she pushed too quickly, and maybe she feels bad, even if she doesn't think she actually did anything wrong. She shrugs as if nothing's wrong, like she's known him forever because that's simply how she knows how to make people comfortable, and closes loses her hand around her broken pencil. ]

I just wanted to know what happened to your face, I didn't mean to upset you or anything really.

[ghostly_heiress]

[Well, that was a point in the weirdness scale being legit. He knew about the number.]

How is writing down a number supposed to explain why you have ecto blood stuff?

[enguarding]

If you're so all-knowing, what'd I have for breakfast this morning?

[ And there's something about being a kid brother that inspires being a little shit, even at college age.

It's magic, clearly. ]

It was something involving a cow, I think?

[ He was asking about the table settings but that doesn't mean it isn't gossip time. Family gatherings were invented for just that purpose, after all. ]

[enguarding]

[ Noah has only been in vague understanding of the whole... echo past lives whatever it is some people can do freaking magic and stuff thing for a little while so seeing someone throwing water balls is...

Well, Noah does a double-take and blinks a bit stupidly. ]

Huh? Oh-- uh. [ wow so articulate noah brilliant work ] Run where?

[disgeyes]

[ She looks sincere enough, and he's hating himself for letting his temper get the best of him again. Not that he still isn't a bit miffed. ]

Yeah, no. I'm sorry. It's usually not an innocent inquiry. It was just a childhood accident. So I've been hearing that question too long I guess! [ He laughs awkwardly, but manages a half smile at the woman. ]

If I may ask, though, why do you care?

[gogoghostpowers]

It--It'll explain a lot of stuff. Like, not just this [he points to his head where the hidden injury is] but also, uh...well, have you noticed anything weird aside from the number? Like, something you remember that doesn't make any sense? Or, uh...

[How do you explain superpowers without calling them superpowers?]

...being able to do something you weren't able to do before?

[ghostly_heiress]

[She almost denied it outright. Of course she couldn't do anything she couldn't do before. Except...except was that true?]

[The world was still darkened by the shades she was wearing. She never did take them off. She thought about it, how things changed after that day she died briefly. How she got better so quickly, how everything seemed to clear up just like that, and that strange number in her head.]

[She thought about how these glasses weren't as necessary as they once were.]

[Part of her still wants to deny it. She doesn't know this kid, and he's clearly involved in weird, and it could drag her into weird. Except...except...]

[There were things she knew, but did not know how. Things about herself. It bothered her. She was so used to knowing things or being able to find the answer if she really wanted to. Not this though. She'd been wondering for weeks with no clue and there was a part of her that didn't want to just leave it alone.]

[And who knows. It could be fun.]

There is something. It's not really easy to describe. Certainly not that. [Gesturing at his hat.] But I couldn't do it before.

[inversive]

No, not for me. [He's the digital store kind of guy, but he's not about to say that to someone who owns a music store. Too rude, even for him.

Besides, the guy was kind enough to direct him, so he wouldn't spend several minutes hobbling around everywhere. The least he can do is tamp down on his regular nature and seem like a somewhat-serious, not-at-all-trollish adult.]

It's for a lady friend, and if it's not perfect... Let's just say my visiting privileges would be revoked for a couple of months.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Are you always this touchy about everything?

[That was a no to both questions actually. The dog lowers his head and whines worriedly.]

Ryuko Matoi | Kill la Kill - Raydeisha "Ray" Satterfield

[guitar_case_vagabond]

[17 years old, Ryuko is the newest student to join the brigade of shitty kids from Locke City High School. She's got a bad temper and no problems with throwing the first and last punch, although she's usually happy to mind her own business as long as nobody messes with her. Even though she's new, she's already the terror of the martial arts club at school.

Currently lives with her father and younger sister, with Locke City being the supposed last stop in a string of moves thanks to her father's job after losing her mother years ago. Something about a contract for some tech company in town, she didn't catch the name and doesn't care. She doesn't really buy the whole "settled down" bit and is more concerned with looking after her sister during their father's long work hours and making sure any bullies who mess with her stay good and pummeled.

She also hates her full name and will beat you to actual death if you call her that.]

Option A: The Mall
[It's Saturday and Ryuko is at the mall like any self-respecting high school kid. You can catch her at the food court or walking up and down the metal and rock aisles of the music stores. Her headphones are blasting something loud and screamy and she has her usual grumpy look on her face. Dare you approach?]

Option B: The Rain
[Yep, it's raining and she's the least happy she's been all week. She's not going to go run under shelter though because fuck rain, that's why. Catch her stalking her way home through the downpour.]

Option C: C for Combo! New Echo and Monster Attack!
[It was a quiet day and Ryuko was just relaxing in the park, minding her own business when something happened. Who knows what it was but she zones out for a second and when she comes back to normal this thing is in her hands.]

Wha--

What?

WHAT?!

[HOLY SHIT WHERE DID THIS THING COME FROM?! SHE HAS TO HIDE THIS FUCKING THING AND-- wait, what's with all those weird looking cats staring her way?]

Option D
[The wild card option. Hit me with your best shot.]

[notyourbadguy]

Ooooh, ouch. [Frederick inhales sharply, between clenched teeth. He's had his share of problems with women. He feels your pain, bro.]

What exactly in terms of genre are you looking at, then? Might help narrow it down a bit.

[moodkiller]

[she takes a sip of her drink, pressing up her glasses. she clearly hesitates for a moment, trying to decide whether it would be best to dance around this one...]

... Tracking devices.

[moodkiller]

[Natalie looks up, somewhat surprised - before it strikes her that a response was to be expected.]

It's always something causing problems, isn't it?

[moodkiller]

[Nat might have said something to the first bit, but instead she just. Blinks.]

I'm sorry, I'm confused. What makes you ask?

[moodkiller]

[she glances next to her, nodding at him.]

With any luck, anyway...

[clawkind]

You've got horrible dark energy, so I was wondering if that's natural or if you picked it up somewhere.

[it's an important distinction, and one she thought should have been obvious from the tone of her reply]
