    Hajime follows the falcon without a word. At every turn he searches for any sign of Catarino, no matter how small. At times where it was needed, he helps Cici traverse obstacles, or jump down from a height.

    Eventually, they come to the place where Catarino's necklace lies on the ground. Hajime crouches to examine said necklace.
    How is my roleplaying? Feel free to send me thoughts and/or constructive criticism.

    Testing

    CAT scans. Blood samples. Scientists flitting all around Jason, scribbling, muttering jargon that Jason can't possibly pick up. More scans. All this goes on for what seems like hours until they reach the final stage.

    "Okay, all nodes are in place...no abnormal brain waves...I think we're good to go, Dr. Satoki."

    Jason is hooked up to yet another bizarre machine, this time through electric nodes running straight to his head, connecting his brain to...whatever contraption it was now.

    "Excellent! Alright, everyone back into positions..." All the scientists in the room leave for what appears to be a miniature bunker. They peer in through heavily reinforced glass, pen at the ready.

    Dr. Satoki says through a loudspeaker, "Initiate lamda test wave in 3...2...1..."

    There is a clunk as someone throws what is presumably a switch.

    ...

    Then silence.

    Nothing seems to happen. No puff of flame, no distortion in the air, no sudden displacement in space-time.

    More silence.

    Then...

    "Good news, Mr. Williams!" says Dr. Satoki as he strides into the room, Masaki right behind him. "It took us a few minutes to interpret the data, but out tests have concluded that you indeed have AIM Field Manipulation potential?"

    Masaki coughs and translates, "You have potential to use powers."]

    Dr. Satoki continues to ramble on about training regimens, practice schedules, and so forth, for bringing out Jason's latent psychic ability.

    "Nah, I'm not that nice; I'm just in good company right now. Speaking of which, if you ever need someone to talk to, look me up. Here, I'll give you my mobile number."

    After a quick search of his pockets he extracted a torn envelope and a brand new pencil, which obligingly sharpened itself to a point under his gaze. It was one of his favourite tricks, and he always made sure to carry an unsharpened pencil just to show it off. A few seconds of hurried scribbling later he hesitantly held out the paper for Rin to take, marked with a number which was just about legible with a bit of squinting.

    "It's still hard to believe that you're not swimming in friends already, but...Well, if you need one..."
    Rin accepts the piece of paper quite happily, beaming at Jirou.
    "Well, I haven't been around all that long, really. I don't actually know anyone here except some of the teachers- and now you!"
    She flips out her cell phone.
    "Here, I'll give you my number too. I just got it though, so I don't remember it..."
    Rin fiddles with the device, attempting to find her number with little success.

    Patience wasn't normally Jirou's forte, but right now he wouldn't have moved even if Rin had spent the time teaching herself to play the banjo. Still, after watching her fruitless attempts to negotiate with her phone, he did feel compelled to keep Rin's own frustration level to a minimum.

    "It's fine if you can't find it. You can just tell me it over the phone some other time, if you like."

    It's not as if he'd have the guts to actually use it. Her calling him was fine, but the other way around? Not a chance. She might be busy working, or fighting crime, or in the bath. No, much better to spend the coming days waiting fruitlessly for the phone to ring, thus saving her undue annoyance while confirming how much of his life revolved around wishful thinking.

    "No, I'll figure it out. Um, maybe it's..."
    Rin manages to activate the camera capability of her phone.
    "Wait, that's not it. Back-"
    And takes a few random pictures of the ground, the bench, the ground again. Maybe Jirou's foot.
    "Er..."
    It's becoming increasingly obvious that Rin has never really dealt with a cellphone before, at least one as complicated as the one she has now, and is quite clueless as to how she should use it. On the other hand... she figured out how to take pictures!

    "Hey, smile!"
    Rin holds up the phone and quickly snaps a picture of Jirou before he can react.

    "Uh, yeah, maybe you should turn the flash off first..."

    These words were spoken from the ground below the bench, which Jirou had recently vacated in something of a hurry. Now used to such mishaps, he wasted no time in picking himself up and blinking away most of the spots which were still dancing through his vision.

    "Seriously, that's an amazingly good flash for a phone. Must be one of those new top of the line models, right?"

    "Hm? Oh, I don't know. My parents bought it for me so we could stay in touch."
    Rin doesn't really seem all that affected by the flash, but given her ability, this should be far from surprising. After pressing a few more buttons, she manages to exit the camera mode, and start searching for her phone number again.
    "It's really neat, but I don't know how to use it yet."

    By more luck than anything else, Rin manages to find her phone number.
    "Hey, here it is!"
    And with that, she abruptly sticks her phone in Jirou's face to show him.

    And so it came to pass that the sacred number of Harada Rin was given unto the house of Kiyoshi. And lo, there was much rejoicing. At least, there would have been if Jirou hadn't still been convinced that this was all a delusion, and if Rin hadn't been sitting right in front of him. Nevertheless he still made sure to note it down correctly, because however slim the chances there was still a slight possibility that this was actually happening.

    "..292. Right, got it. Oh, and thanks again; It was really...nice...meeting you, Harada-san."

    Masaki talks as the scientists unplug Jason from the machine.

    "Practice. Lots of it. It can take years for someone to work their way up to even level 3, if you're lucky enough to even get there. Some people are stuck at level 1 for the rest of their lives.

    But for now? You go home. The administration's going to have to figure out a training schedule for you over the next few days."

    With a red face, Jane stared at her class. She could feel their eyes examining her, like she was some animal waiting to be dissected. It was just like with those doctors...

    "Uhm... hello..." Jane looked intensely at her feet. "I'm... I'm Jane Walker. .... I'm from Britain. It's... nice to meet you all."

    As soon as the teacher nodded, Jane almost sped to the vacant seat in the back of the class. Still feeling how the classmates were staring it her. Why wouldn't they stop staring? She was like them right? There was nothing special about her, why are they staring?

    Classes seemed to move by in an insanely slow speed. While Jane had an easy time writing down notes, in English, when her teachers were speaking, she had a hard time trying to figure out her schoolbooks. While she had a translator book with her, it took her far longer to read her books then the other students.

    After the last bell rang, marking the end of a school day, Jane didn't wait for anybody to talk to her and immediately walked out of the classroom and headed towards the main exit of the building.

    Masaki

    Once again, Masaki says nothing as they leave the facility. Once they're outside...

    "I need to get my lab. As for you, you'll get a memo from the administration regarding your training schedule. Chances are I'll have to be your mentor.

    Is there anything else?"

    He then runs off a few paces, before stopping. He then turns back to Masaki.
    "Uhhh... what would be the the best way to get to Hongakuteki Nihon Ryouri?"

    He didn't feel like wandering the streets lost trying to find his way back home. Atleast he remembered that the restraunt was across the street from where his apartment complex was. Maybe he will eat there before he retires to his room.

    Sakurako

    Jane wouldn't find the way out of school quite so easy! Or rather it was, but there was a familiar face waiting for her at the exit of the school. Sakurako stands anxiously, shifting her weight from one foot to the other as if getting ready to start sprinting, even as her deep green eyes peel through the other Tokiwadai students in search of...something.

    "Hey Jane! Yoo hoo!" A quick and furitive glance around then pop and the vibrant redhead is lightly landing beside the foreign girl with a somewhat relaxed expression on her face.

    "I was looking for you! How was your day? Wasn't too hard to keep up, was it? Hey listen, I need your help with something..." The words seem to come a mile a minute, even as she's already dragging Jane out the doors and...into the grass?

    ==================

    Earlier during the school day...

    "...And that is how we believe an internal reality, or truth is determined. Any questions?"

    The drone from the teacher went right by Sakurako's head, who was idly doodling little sketches into her notebook. What did all of this stuff matter to her for? She already had her Esper abilities and was quite happy with how well they had developed, it wasn't like she had any dreams of being a Level 5 like that Rin girl or anything.

    And then her phone began to ring. Loudly at that, and Sakurako froze in the blink of an eye while everyone began to look around to see just who had brought a phone into class. To her credit, she quickly fishes out her phone and begins to frantically hammer on the buttons, trying to get it shut up before it got her caught.

    "Kasusa-san? Is there something you'd like to...?"

    Pop.

    The noise stopped, even as Sakurako flushed scarlet, getting a brief glance of her phone plummeting to the ground before turning face forward once more.

    "Huh?"

    "...Was that your phone?"

    "Ahehehe..Nooo...I mean...it's against the rules to have a phone in class, let alone on..what kind of example would I be setting if I did that?"

    "The kind who has to clean up the classroom after class is finished."

    "*sigh* Yes sensei."

    ============================

    "...I just need some help finding it, cause I don't know if that call was important or anything and I still need to meet Kazumi soon." Sakurako explains quickly to a likely very confused Jane, even as she already scans the grass for the lost electrical appliance.

    Man, I get on Kazumi's case about being on time and taking care of her stuff and I go and throw my phone out the window. I'll never hear the end of this!

    Hajime calmly looks to Cici, and straightens himself up slowly. He is as calm as if nothing is going wrong. After all, there is a chance. "Perhaps there is still a way to track him. Maybe, a way to reveal clues that is available to us?"

    He then looks to the falcon. "Do you have anywhere else to lead us to, companion?"

    Right before she dialed the last digit, Cici stopped.

    "Maybe..." she said, "Though I should still call, just to be safe."

    After she finished the call, she looked at Hajime. "Well, they said they'd look for him. Seems they've been having similar calls in the last little while." She too looked at the bird. "Well?" she asked it.

    The bird stared at them with dark brown eyes. I'm sorry, it seemed to be trying to say, I can do no more.

    Then, with a pitying look on it's face, it turned around and flew into the sky again.

    Of course, this didn't mean that the falcon wasn't going to do anything. A legend among birds, the Falcon-Tongued Boy of Kanto, had gone missing. This wasn't going to slip by the more feathery denizens of Academy City.

    Cici sighed. "I guess we've got all we could from him," she said to Hajime.

    "What now?" she asked.

    Hajime nodded his head, and gave a short wave to the falcon as it flew away. He then turns to Cici, and tilts his head slightly to show confusion. "Not to be rude, but I already asked that in a way. Is there any way we can find clues as to his possible whereabouts?"

    Cici's face went blank for a second. "Oh, right. Sorry," she replied.

    She thought for a moment. "We could track him by scent, might work considering how noticable his scent is," she said. "I don't think we'd be able to find a search-dog ourselves, though. I know there are search-bots that are capable of doing that, though they're still pretty experimental. I might be able to make one..."

    Hajime looks to Cici, looking rather confident. Well, rather confident in comparison to how he normally looks. "You should try that, then. The sooner we find him, the better chance he has of being safe and unharmed. If that doesn't work, I might be able to sniff out the scent myself, if it is strong enough. However, let's keep that as a last resort." He then looks around, looking for what Cici might need to build such a machine. "What materials do you need to build this, and what shall we do to search for Catarino-san in the meantime?"

    Cici scratched her head. "Well, I think I have most of the stuff needed, save for the olfactory sensor, which I can probably make out of an old sound or light sensor, and a few wires and circuits. That's going to be the challenging part, though not too hard..."

    She answered, "for now? Search for the most likely spots that he might be. He might of been kidnapped, though that brings up the question of how someone managed to capture a level 3."

    "I'd say look around the gang hideouts and stuff in these districts. If we have to, we could check out the gangs in the 10th district..." she thought for a bit. "...but hopefully not."

    Catarino

    First things first: Figure out what's happened to you. Catarino checks if he's tied up, or has a blindfold on.

    Second thing: Do it in the most discrete way possible. He makes sure no one can see him or hear him doing it.

    Third: Listen. He listens for any voices.

    Hajime thinks of the most logical places to look. Now, the most logical places to start looking would be out of the way, abandoned places that no one would think to look in. "Maybe he is in an abandoned location somewhere in the 15th through 17th districts? I will start looking."

    He then begins to walk out, before turning back to Cici. "Cici-san, are you sure you don't want me to take the needed materials from something else? I'm a bit hesitant to suggest it, but it might be overlooked as a necessary loss for the safety of potentially several lives." He doesn't look like he likes that option very much. Vandalizing would bring the authorities on their heads, and he doesn't much like uneccessary attention.

    Kazumi
    [Tokiwadai]

    A certain familiar song began to play, and for a moment Kazumi wondered "Is my world a drama?"

    But then she realized the song, and a cellular phone fell on her as she looked up.

    ...!"

    She knew the person who owned this cellular phone. Kazumi rubbed her head and picked up the cell phone with a sigh. She made sure the bandage on her head was fixed and continued to walk. Soon she would meet with Sakurako.

    And then give her sempai her phone back.
    But for a second, Kazumi thought about opening it to investigate. But surely Sakurako had some things Kazumi didn't want to know.

    Of course Kazumi didn't want to remember some of them too.

    "..292. Right, got it. Oh, and thanks again; It was really...nice...meeting you, Harada-san."
    "It was nice to meet you too!"
    Rin says, smiling enthusiastically as she hops up from the bench.
    "I'll see you around!"
    And with that, she whisks off to some unknown destination, if in fact she has a destination in mind. It is quite possible that she doesn't.

    For a while Jirou simply remained on the bench, going over recent events in the vain hope of finding some rational explanation for them. Finally, secure in the
    knowledge that that pleasant little interlude defied all logic and sense, he casually strolled away and waited for this hallucination to reach its end.

    "Well, at least this is a nice way to end things; Strolling off into the afternoon air after making the best new friend I could have ever wanted. If this is anything like my usual dreams It'll start fading to black any minute now."

    But it didn't. A few streets later he was still waiting just as expectantly, although his thoughts had taken on a definite nervous edge.

    "Yep, aaaannnyyy minute now..."

    Eventually his confident stroll became a hesitant jog, then a stumbling walk, and so on until it just stopped altogether, leaving him standing on a random street in pure bewilderment. His gaze darted from left to right with alarming speed, flitting between the various surroundings which showed no signs of fading away.

    "Okay, stay calm. Just breathe. In and out, in and out. There's got to be an explanation fo-Wait, this place looks familiar..."

    With a start he realised that his restless feet (no doubt guided by Rin-related musings) had somehow carried him to the gates of Tokiwadai. Brilliant, now his subconscious was turning him into a creepy stalker who hung around girls' schools. Still, now that he was here there was no denying that the place was an impressive sight. Jirou's roving eyes took in first the well-built walls, broken only by gates of equal craftsmanship. Then they looked forward at the famous building itself, resplendent in its dominating position, speaking of power and prestige. And finally there were the grounds, green and lush, empty now but for a single student being dragged bodily across them by a redheadewaitjustoneminute.

    Okay, that was strange. Continuing his new stalkerish leanings, Jirou sidled up to the fence and peered through curiously. Maybe this weird twilight zone had a few more curveballs left to throw..
