Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
"Aaaand there goes your second chance. The flirting was okay, but threats are another matter entirely. I think that's our cue to leave..."
Kin twirled on her heel and started walking away from Carver. It was such a shame when a strange and interesting person also turned out to be dangerous. Well, technically she didn't know that for a fact yet, and if alone she might even have taken the risk. But with Krystal along for the ride? Not a chance.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Krystal stares at Carver for a moment, thinking. Then she turns and goes to grab Kin's hand to stop her.
Hey, wait...maybe we could eat with him? I mean, what's a free lunch gonna hurt?
That, and she thought he was kinda cute. But, she wasn't going to say that.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Souji grins, and claps his hands. "Well then! Ryuu-sama, Ina-san? Let us play some games!"
He walks in, ignoring the shouts of two nearby customers.
"Argh! I was on the last level and the machine shut off!"
"Hey what gives?! The thing just went haywire and now I''ve got the max score?!?!"
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver looks a bit surprised and says
"Threats? what threats? I have done no such thing. No upstanding member of judgement would ever threaten a law-abiding citizen. I was simply trying to be friendly and offer the two of you a free lunch for the trouble I caused, but If you don't want it those parfaits I ordered for you two are going to waste."
With that he adopts a slightly hurt expression, threats? He would never do that to someone he just met, certainly not after he had just decided to turn over a new leaf and join judgement.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Ryuu follows him in, and glances amusedly at the second customer.
"Quit complaining. It worked out well enough for you, didn't it? And if you can't get it normally and feel like you're cheating people, it's not like it'll stay."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
"Ryuu-sama don't insult the poor man! He probably just wanted to get it fairly, am I not right?"
He grinned at the boy, tipping his hat. A quick flash of silver hair could be seen by anyone observing out of the corner of their eye.
"Oooh shooting games! Come on Ryuu-sama I have to win."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
As soon as Krystal's hand joined with Kin's, the other girl immediately halted in confusion. For some reason her power also activated, locking the two together in the same way as before. She looked askance at Krystal and for a moment seemed about to say something, but eventually she just closed her mouth, nodded and let the other girl lead her over to Carver's table.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Krystal gets a slight smile as she leads Kin to the table. Once there, she tries to let go of her hand. Only to find that she can't.
Um...Kin? She holds up the hostaged hand and points to it with her free one.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver poorly hides a grin and says
"Well now this certainly is interesting now isn't it, what exactly just happened? If there's a problem let me know I am with judgement after all."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Faced with this, Kin suddenly became very uncomfortable. She once again opened her mouth to speak, but a quick glance at Carver put a stop to that. Instead she simply gave Krystal a slight shake of the head and sat down with her, hands still joined. Whatever it was she wanted to say, it obviously wasn't going to come out while Carver was within earshot.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Krystal sighs and sits down. she obviously wasn't getting her hand back anytime soon.
Well, guess we should get introductions out of the way first. I'm Krystal Jones. She offers her free hand to shake.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Kin likewise offered her free hand, lagging only slightly behind Krystal.
"Miura Kin."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver shakes Krystal's hand and says
"Carver Arbern, nice to meet the both of you. I can't help but notice you're giving me your left hand to shake, is there a reason the two of you are holding hands?"
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Kin quickly interjected before Krystal could answer.
"Yes, there is; And it's none of your business."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Krystal was going to answer, but Kin was quicker on the draw. After hearing her answer, Krystal stifles a laugh.
Well, Kin. That was a short answer.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Shrugging Carver simply responds with
"Well alright, you're business is your own. Oh look sour food is here. I ordered something I hoped the two of you would like, if you want something else though feel free."
With that a server comes over to the table and puts out a farly extravagent layout of food.
Carver rubs his hands together and says.
"I always go a little overboard when I'm ordering food. It's just that the food at the Academy is very spatan. In fact that's why I somethimes sneak into Tokiwadai for lunch to try and get something decent."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
You sneak into Tokiwadai just for food? Krystal raises an eyebrow as she chooses her food. That's odd.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
The generous repast went a long way towards improving Kin's mood. Thanks to the incident back at school she'd missed lunch, so this offering was very well received. She tucked into the food on offer with gusto, slowed only by her 50% hand shortage.
"What's really odd is how he managed to get away with it. Judging from our encounter just now, I'm guessing that he has some sort of power which lets him travel unnoticed."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver scratches his chin for a moment and says
"Well I suppose to a point that's true. My ability does allow me to travel somewhat unnoticed. However that's only one possible use. Oh and if you had ever tasted Azabu food you'd want to sneak into fort knox if it meant getting good food."
Carver scoffs for a moment.
"They say it builds Character, I say it builds food poisoning."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Krystal smiled at Carver's joke.
Well, you could always figure out where our school gets the food, and just buy it there. Probably be easier than sneaking in.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver just grins and says,
"Yeah, I could, but where's the fun in that?"
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Over the course of her meal, Kin found herself gradually warming up to this stranger and his exploits. While sneaking into changing rooms and girls' schools wasn't exactly a very admirable use of his talents, she could still appreciate the charm and aplomb with which he did so. Perhaps, as a fellow enemy of orthodoxy, she could get a few tips from him later.
"The next time you're over there filling your plate, maybe you could do something to liven the place up; Unless you already did, that is. Could you possibly be the reason why Tokiwadai is so much livelier than usual today?"
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver Simply grins and says,
"Alright I'll put liven up Tokiwadai on my things to do list then. Oh and truthfully I might have had something to do with earlier today, sounds like something I'd probobly do but the truth is I have no recollection of any recent events."
Showing his sword to them he says.
"Heck, I don't even know when I got old Frostbite here out of storage, or why for that matter. Truthfully it feels good to have her on my hip again though."

"Oooh shooting games! Come on Ryuu-sama I have to win."
Ryuu, instead of immediately following, pauses next to the boy.
"I'm sorry. He's right; that was rude of me. Is there some way I can make it up to you?"
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
The boy blushes. He wasn't used to girls actually apologizing to him. "Um n-n-no! I'm fine! I'll just restart and try again." He gives her a small smile.
Ryuu, and the rest of the arcade, probably hears Souji squee (yes, it's a real sound effect) in delight when he finds the shooting games. "Brilliant! I'm sure to win at all of these! High score on Dead House, here I come!"
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Ryuu smiles brightly at him, and turns to follow Souji.
"Alright. I'd better get back to my friend, then."
And then, there's a sudden squee from him. Which was not something she expected from Souji; he didn't seem at all the type, from what she'd seen.
Intrigued as to what about the games he found triggered such a reaction, she set off towards him, somewhat faster than she normally would have.
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Krystal raises an eyebrow.
Frostbite? Did you pick that name?
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
After hearing Krystal's question he thinks for a moment before awnsering with,
"Well... Yes and no. You see the thing is I first got Frostbite when I first turned 15. That's when my Father first got on me about learing how to use a sword, he said 'The Arberns may not be in a time that requires us to learn the sword, but that doesn't mean we won't honor our traditions.' I had already been taught a little about it growing up but that was nothing compared to what my old man put me through once he gave me frostbite."
Carver shudders for a moment before continueing
"About a year and a half-later he said itwas time for my final test and he'd finally let me off the hook with all of this training, needless to say I was thrilled. Boy was I wrong, turns out the final test meant throwing me out into the woods to fend for myself in the middle of winter, after that it felt only apropriate that I name her Frostbite..."
"Oh and before you start about how my Father could have done that he really didn't leave me alone out there, turns out he was watching the whole time to make sure nothing too bad happened."
He leans back in his chair and says
"Now that I've told you two that how about we change the subject, for the sake of conversation of course. I don't want to kill the conversation with a story like that after all."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
Carver couldn't have picked a better way of capturing Kin's attention. By the time his story finished, she'd gone from being mildly interested to hanging on every word. Now as he leaned back, she leaned forward, eyes sparkling with wonder.
"Change the subject?! What could be more interesting than this? Than a person stranded alone in the wilderness, with only nature's bounty and their own wits to sustain them? I dream about having an experience like that, and here I meet someone who's actually lived it! Don't get me wrong, I'm not naive enough to think that it would all be fun and games; But it must still be an amazing thing to live through."
-
Re: [Rail IC] Academy City II: Electrokinesis Is Love~
At her response Carver raises an eyebrow, that wasn't usually how people responded to that story.
"Well I suppose you're right, if anything it was interesting. One thing it was not however was fun... Well I suppose in the long run it has been a worthwhile experience. Oh an dif you like stories I have a very long list of them, one in particualr happened very recently, wanna hear it?"
As Carver asks his question he leans forward and his already familiar grin comes back to his face.
