Card Captor Shukuen!

[Asrana]

Tomoyo's smile remained in place as she recorded Sakura, focusing primarily on her face, but moving around a bit on occasion.

"Don't you remember? We were going to go shopping."

[Shukuen]

"Ah... err..." Shukuen blinked, shifting her pack so she could face Keroberus.

"Did I remember to pack any money...?" she whispered quietly.

[Bean Bandit]

"Your wallet's in here." The tiny plushie stage whispered back. "She's probably going shopping for stuff for your costumes, though."

[Shukuen]

Shukuen sighed, relieved that she hadn't forgotten to pack the currently needed money, but also nervous at the thought of shopping for clothes. Or worse...

...a teddy bear kit...

Outwardly, she feined a smile, ignoring the camera. "Shopping where again?"

[Bean Bandit]

Tomoyo smiled happily. "The mall, of course!" she giggled, taking Sakura's hand. "I could really use a few things, and you DID say you were looking for something for Touya's birthday..."

[Shukuen]

"I did?" Shukuen blinked, paused, then laughed nervously. "Uhm, right, I guess I did."

"But what can I get him that he doesn't already have...?" she wondered out loud.

Shrugging, she took Tomoyo's arm. "Come on then, Tomoyo-chan. We better hurry," she said, heading north out of the park.

[Bean Bandit]

Sakura was the first to notice something was...off. This was largely due to the faint buzz she felt from the cards, a tense, foreboding feeling, like something important would happen soon...and then...it did.

Not ten feet in front of the two girls, a large, swirling fireburst sprang into being and flared very brightly...but only for a split second before vanishing completely. Where the fire had vanished, two forms were revealed.

The first was a tall, broad man dressed in a trenchcoat with many pockets and circular sunglasses,with a long mane of white hair, covered entirely inadequately by a green cap.

The second was a young girl, about Sakura's age, with brown hair cut in a short, jaw-length style, one side held back by a pink triangular barrette, and dressed in a flimsy summer dress, covered by woolen shawl. They both looked slightly disoriented, and the girl looked around anxiously, a slightly relieved expression on her face as she took in her surroundings.

There was a sudden, jarring sense of dislocation once more, and...Bolt found himself in a park. A carefully groomed path, and a small sidewalk for rollerbladers, as well as the well kept grounds hinted at civilization, though most of the surroundings beyond the immediate area were obscured by trees.

However, two young girls, Kotone's age...or possibly a bit younger, were watching them with a startled look. The one in front was dressed impeccably, her long black hair held in place by a hairband, and wearing a casual but expensive looking dress, and was...filming them?

Yes, she had a camcorder, and was eagerly taking in their every move, a slight smile on her face.

The other girl had short, light brown hair...almost blonde, in fact, with two small pigtails on either side of her head. She was dressed in what could have almost been simply an elaborate sports outfit, save for the strange rabbit ears on her head, and she was also, he noticed, outfitted for skating, elbow and knee pads, and a pair of inline skates on her feet. In fact, she looked recognizable...

[CyMage]

While Sai wasn't a fan of the show, he has caught a couple eps of the dubbed version.  Cardcaptors, or properly known as Card Captor Sakura.

"Hello, Sakura.  How are you?  Can I speak to Kero for a moment?"

He relaxed.  There shouldn't be much trouble in this area for a bit.

[Shukuen]

Shukuen blinked, trying to remember what series the two people before her were from. Though she didn't know the older man, she did recognize the girl as the psuedo-jailbait of ExCoKo.

Upon hearing the man's question though, she realized that maybe this person might be an agent as well. "Order or Chaos?" she asked, glancing at the stranger suspiciously. She knew it was giving herself away, but she'd rather not take any chances or make accidental enemies.

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Gonna label these seperately for the moment. Ra-chan arc. >.>

IC:
Over in another area...in fact, at Sakura's house, a small Mitsubishi Lancer Evo pulled up in front of the modest dwelling. Nenene turned to Yomiko, and raised an eyebrow. "This is it..." she informed her passenger gently. "How do you want to go about this?"

[CyMage]

Sai looked closer at Sakura.  "Perhaps I won't have need to talk to Kero.  Order.  And you?"

[Shukuen]

"Order." Shukuen responded, relaxing slightly but still wary of any betrayals.

"Who are you supposed to be anyway?" she asked. "I don't recognize the character."

[CyMage]

"Polite, aren't you?  The name's Bolt Crank, but you can call me Sai.  This is Kotone."  He put his hand on Kotone's shoulder lightly.

[Bean Bandit]

Kotone smiled innocently and bowed to the other girl, looking a bit puzzled as to what was going on. She glanced at Tomoyo, and the black haired girl smiled and shrugged, continuing to observe. Kotone followed her lead and did the same.

[Shukuen]

"Yeah, sorry for being a bit blunt..." Shukuen bowed slightly, then sweatdropped as she remembered that they were in the middle of park... in the open... possibly being watched...

"Uhm, how about we continue this elsewhere?" she suggested.
