Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Jirou blinked a few times in the wake of Jane's greeting. Although they'd parted on good terms yesterday, he still hadn't expected such a warm reception from her. Apparently he hadn't made half as bad an impression on her as he'd thought. That thought prompted Jirou's smile to make a return...Only to freeze all over again as he caught sight of another familiar face in the distance. He should have known that if Jane went anywhere then her personal stalker wouldn't be far behind.
Luckily fate had dealt Jirou an extra tile to use against his nemesis this time around. Quickly regaining his composure, he resolved to play it before Cale even managed to reach the table.
"[Good to see you again, Jane. You haven't met my friend? Jane Walker, meet Jason Williams. He's a transfer student (just like you) from the West (just like you) who's really new around here (just like you). How's that for common ground? I'm sure you two are gonna get along great.]"
"...Or better than great. Nothing wrong with a bit of healthy competition, right Cale?"

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Jane was in a good mood today, for some reason the stress on her head had been less then usual. She figured it was because she had used her powers so extensively yesterday. And perhaps she had judged Jirou wrongly, so hopefully he wasn't such a bad person he sometimes looked like he was. It was only fair to give him another chance.
<"Oh how funny, we got the same initials."> Jane said when Jason was introduced to her and sticked out her hand. <"I've never been to the US myself. The people here can be quite crazy huh?">

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
So Jane, Jirou and the other guywere now talking, how fun.
Cale walked towards Jane and Jirou, and greeted them.
"<Mornin people.>"
If someone were to focus on his accent, they would find a mish-mash of several european and russian accents.Last edited by Rhydeble; 2011-02-14 at 04:16 PM.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Jason was about to answer Jane, until Cale showed up and answered. The badly mixed together accent change his answer.
"[Ya. They can at times. Hard to believe I'm still sane after 2 days.]"
He then reached out and shook her hand.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Wow, maybe today she might make an extra friend. Jane couldn't believe her luck. <"Hey Cale!"> she responded to him. <"This is Jason, he's from the US! Can you believe there's another English speaking student here too?">
She pulled her backpack off her back, it was getting heavy, and put it on the ground. <"Maybe we can explore the city together. You know, the four of us."> Those two couldn't keep being enemies right? Maybe they started off on a bad foot and today they might become friends... or not but at least Jane would have tried to fix it. And while she had to admit that she'd rather go touring with Cale alone, it would feel rude and unfair to keep Jason out of it. Unless he'd rather go with Jirou of course... hopefully he would want that. Then again, how was she supposed to make a new friend if she'd just send the opportunity away. She never realized that socializing was this hard. After so many years in doctors offices and being dubbed the 'weirdo' in class, her socializing skills had become really rusty.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Finished with his meal, Katsu exits kadokado Café and runs out the door to get to adventure.
What he hadn't expected was that the same girl who had been yelling at him sees this and trips him, causing him to fly through the air despite how easy it would be to stop himself.
Janes group may notice that he manages to do a flip and land back on his feet right next to them. To the girl's great dissapointment.
"That was fu-Oh Hi there! Weren't you guys the singing group from yesterday?"
He waves at the group despite his close position to them and grins as he no doubt reminds several of them of something they'd rather not have shouted out in a crowded area.Treasured Quotes

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
A distraction! Just what Cale needed to keep his mind of Jirou.
"Say, aren't you in my class? You look really familiar. Also, could you stop messing with the air all the time, its rather annoying." he said to him.
Then he turned towards the American boy, trying his hardest to keeps his eyes of Jirou, so as not to burst into spontaneus rage. there could not be a repeat of yesterday, or he'd get mail from his mother asking for a reduction in collateral damage fees, and that might lead to someone actually looking into his familiy situations.
"<Actually English speaking people aren't that rare, its just that this cultural mish-mash here really tends to quickly integrate new people, so you probably just don't know they're there.>"
PS: Cale sees Katsu's speeding as strange movements in air-pressure, going too fast for him to realize its actually just a person running really fast.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Katsu tilts his head and puts a podering expression on his face for a few seconds. Then he makes a dramatic jump of recognition and nods excessively.
"That's right! We are in the same class! I remember now. Weren't you the guy who did that... What was it? Had something to do with the girls'-Air messing? I can do that now?!"
Distracted form trying to remember rumours about Cale, Katsu now waves hsi arms to underline that he is unsure what Cale means.
"I think maybe I could do that by running really fast"
He looks upwards at the clouds, hoping they may give him an answer.Treasured Quotes

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Running really fast... that might be an explanation...
"ahh so that's it, I gotta say, it feels really weird to me. How come you don't crush yourself against the air in front of you? I happen to know a few things about pressure and I'm pretty sure the friction would kill you at those speeds."
Cale didn't really expect an answer though. The guy seemed to be far too hyperactive to think about the mechanics behind his powers.Last edited by Rhydeble; 2011-02-15 at 03:20 AM.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
"I manipulate Einstein's law of energy and mass! The faster I go, the less dense I become."
Katsu explains with a knowing expression, he is really proud of being able to remember that.
"What's your power? Can you see the wind? Can you control air? It must be something with air... Can you fly!?"
Suddenly Cale have Katsu's undivided attention, that didn't usually last very long but the thought of flying was just too interesting not to focus on for the young Esper.Treasured Quotes

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Rockwell was walking towards kadokado Café, where he would regroup with another Patrol and head back to their outpost. he then sees Katsu running a high speed.
<"Oy! Stop running that fast! It's a pedestrian zone here!">
Realized that he was shouting in English, he repeated it in Japanese.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Cale lowered his voice to a whisper, trying to make sure that only Katsu could hear him.
"Well, my power is really cconvoluted, I can control the density of gasses in a specific area, it doesn't mean I can fly, but I can walk into the sky by creating a floor of nitrogen."

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Things started to get a bit too crowded to Jane's liking now. She could deal with maybe 3 people, but it was like people were gathering around her again. That wasn't really something she wanted to deal with again, especially because she had been aiming for some alone time with Cale. Jason could probably go with a different group to see the city.
Trying to be subtle, and assuming she probably failed horribly at it, she moved closer to Cale. Keeping her voice low so not everybody would hear it and would want to suddenly jump in, she tried to make sure only he could hear her. <"So Cale, where shall we go to? I'm sure you know a lot of interesting places in this city.">

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Rockwell can see that someone is whispering to Katsu's ear. Realizing that it might be a trap, he signals to his partner in sign language: "I'm walking towards them. Prepare your gun. Shoot when they attack me"
A nod comes from Rockwell's partner.
There's something strange about that guy next to Katsu, Rockwell feels as if he has met him before...

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Jirou gave a slight grunt as he saw Jane turn yet again towards Cale. Did the man have a packet of telepath treats in his pocket or something? He wasn't even paying attention to her right now; All his focus was being given to some random bystander, and yet she still couldn't take her eyes off him. Did she somehow not see the immensely compatible American boy sitting next to her? The one who had so much in common with her that they even shared the same initials?
Enough was enough. Jirou had no real interest in romantically pursuing a girl who could read minds, but he still hated the idea of her being ensnared by some obnoxious jerk. It was clearly his duty to stop her from making such a monumental mistake. Somehow he would have to make her see Cale for what he really was. He'd start by taking advantage of Jane's gracious invitation to go walking with them; It was pretty surprising that she'd offered, but he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.
"The four of us exploring the city? That sounds like a great idea. It'll be fun to wander around the place with two new sets of eyes along for the ride."

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
drat.... Jane had asked Jirou and the American boy along... There went his romantic walk through the city together with Jane.
But, although his romantic outing was now hindered, it did have potential for something else interesting, for he could talk to the speedster some more.
"Sure Jane, sounds fun..."Cale said to Jane. Then, he turned to his newfound friend "You wanna come along? It'll be fun."

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Katsu's eyes widen in fascination
"That. Is. So. Cool!"
Then he is distracted by the prickly feeling of somebody watching him and tries to see who it is, he doesn't seem to have spotted or recogniced Rockwell at all.
"That was weir-Can I come too!?"
He directs the last comment at Jirou, not showing any problem with going from opic to topic in such short amount of time.Treasured Quotes

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
"Oy, YOU TWO. Are you ignoring an Anti-Skill calling you?" Rockwell shouts as he walks up towards them.
Rockwell digs through his tactical vest, looking for the darn handprint reader that seems to have jammed itself between the magazines. Rockwell gave it a quick jerk and the handprint reader is free.
Right... I'm going to need to take a handprint of both students...

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Cale turned around to the shouting man, who seemed to be an anti-skill member.
almost without thinking, Cale put up a shield in front of him, that would slow down the man if he were to attack.
"Is there a problem mister? If not, you might want to keep your voice down." Cale said to him, in a manner that he hoped would remind the man they were inside a restaurant.
Then Cale turned around to Katsu again "I'm sure you can come along, it'll be fun."Last edited by Rhydeble; 2011-02-15 at 08:26 AM.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Rockwell turned to Cale and apologized "I'm sorry,we've got reports that a student was using his powers inappropriately, something to do with running very high speed. If nothing happened, then I'll make my leave."
Rockwell steps out of the restaurant. He puts his hand onto his headset "This is Patrol Delta-two calling Overlord. All clear. Make sure the Intel you provide us is valid before sending us in. Over."
Damnit. I need to snap out of the marine mode... Rockwell thinks to himself, as he snaps his SMG back into safe. Rockwell returns to his partner and turns towards him.
"Right... Looks like we're gonna need to wait before relief crew comes. In the meantime, want a Hooah bar?"

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Getting over the sudden packed seconds of weirdness, Jason was suprised by Jirou's volunteering them with Jane and Cale and this other new guy on caffine. Though, it did seem like a perfect opportunity. Everyone here was an Esper, right? He could see how they all acted and how they use their powers better.
Cheerful, Jason speaks to Cale and Jane.
"[Sure. I'll be happy to come along. I'm still trying to learn where everything is in the city.]"

<"Well lets go everybody!"> Jane said while she grabbed her backpack started walking. You never know if suddenly a whole soccer team would want to join them. Perhaps she could learn to deal with four different people at the time now... but she might try to get Cale to herself later today.
<"So what different interesting sites does this city have? Theme parks? Big monuments? Cool teenage hangouts?">

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Jirou leapt out of his seat with as much appearance of energy as he could muster and quickly fell into step beside Jane. Truth be told he still wasn't feeling at his best, but a little crippling fatigue was no excuse for falling behind.

"<don't get ahead too quickly Jirou, we also have skyscrapers, factories, security systems, swimming pools, theaters and diners. In fact, this is a pretty good café, so how about we go up a flor and order something, I haven't eaten all day and we can make a plan up there.>" Cale said, trying not to let Jirou outdo his knowledge of the city.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
[Outside the Cafe]
Rockwell is disrupted by a sudden cheerful voice calling out to him. "Hello Officer!" There's the sound of high heels clapping against the pavement - if Rockwell turns to look, he finds himself face to face with what seems to be a young woman. She's quite tall compared to other people around, at least six feet, and with long, blonde hair adorned with a red ribbon - she's wearing a fluffy pink wintercoat over what seems to be a rather plain, red dress reaching down past her knees.
"So, are you having a good day? Has anything interesting happened lately?", this strange new person chimes, smiling happily at the armored Anti-Skill."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Jirou snorted contemptuously. Cale seemed to display a restraint in making unimportant decisions that was completely absent in his dealings with critical ones.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
Katsu looks from Cale, to Jirou, to Jane, to Jason and decides that whatever they were talking about must be private and as such tries to decipher their speach.
Considering he is not particularly good at English he isn't very successfull and gives up.
"What're you guys talking about? Swimming pools and ghosts?"
He tilts his head and tries to think of what they could be talking about, he only understood the words "Spirit" and "Pool" in their weird accents.
He really need to learn better English.Treasured Quotes

Jane looked at Katsu, trying to form her sentences. We decide where go to. I hope we go to the water pools and archery hallway? They're my hobbies and I hope I can redo soon!" She hoped that made sense. <"You guys know a good place for that?"> She said to both Cale and Jirou.

Re: [Rail IC] Academy City
<"What The...!">
Rockwell nearly chokes on his Hoorah Bar. While turning, he puts his hand on where his sidearm hoister is, just to be safe.
When he see is only a young girl trying to talk to him, he removes his hand from the sidearm hoister.
This is the first time he's seen someone not in uniform around Academy City.
"Erm.. *cough* Nothing much. Academy City is as quiet as usual. So er... Which school do you study in?"
Being a former marine, this gives him almost no skill in dealing with a casual conversation. The best he's done was dealing with terrorists in Iraq.Last edited by shinnmoso; 2011-02-16 at 06:55 PM. Reason: Forgot Color coding
