WELCOME TO JUUBAN! We hope you survive the experience.

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:

The girl blinked and grinned, smirking at the boy as well. "I guess you didn't need the help." she mused, eyeing Hideki's reddening face as he tries to pretend Ritsuko's fingernails don't hurt.

Finally, the boy jerked his arm from Ritsuko's grasp, just as Ritsuko notices her fingernails have drawn blood. With what little dignity he can still muster, Hideki stalks away...

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: May!

IC:

Motoko laughed softly, shrugging. "I suppose so." she allowed. "This is all very peculiar. I wonder...how will you get home, when you finish?"

[Carthrat]

"Well, a girl has to know how to protect herself," replies Carthrat, shaking off the blood and putting her hands behind her head. "I've dealt with worse!"

She starts to chuckle again, a bright smile on her face.

"But thanks for the save, anyway. Lotsa people just wouldn't bother in this modern day and age."

She sticks out her hand. "I'm Carthrat! Whatsya name?"

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:
The girl looked suprised, then smiled, slightly more reserved than Ritsuko, but friendly all the same. "Rei Hino. Do you go to school around here?" she asked, brushing a lock of black hair over her ears.

[Carthrat]

"I don't go to school," replies Carthrat, flippantly.

Rei Hino.. hmm. Well, may as well make friends with her. I'm sure I'll have to deal with her later.

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:

Rei raised an eyebrow. "Why is that?" she replied, flicking a quick glance down the street. "Don't you have problems with the truancy officers?"

[Carthrat]

"No. I graduated last year," replies Carthrat, shrugging. "In Australia, not Japan. I just look young!

I was hoping this outfit would make me look older and, dare I say it, dignified, but apparently not. Need to revise my wardrobe a little."

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder!

IC: Ryder smiled as she replied, "Hello Sumirada-san... Ritsuko wouldn't happen to be with you right now, would she?"

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Ryder!

IC:

Nenene blinked, and hesitated. "Who...oh, you'd be the Aino girl, himm?"

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:
Rei giggled, suitably impressed. "Well, they're kind of...frumpy." she ventures, smiling to take the percieved sting out of her words. "And the ponytail doesn't go all that far to making you look older..."

[Carthrat]

Carthrat shrugs. "I'm only eighteen," she points out. "I'm not that old yet."

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:

Rei blinked. "Oh! You're older than I thought." she admitted. "If you don't go to school, what're you doing out at this time of day?"

[Carthrat]

"I like to get up early," replies Carthrat, shrugging. "There are only so many hours in your life, and it doesn't make sense to waste them in bed.

Besides, I'm meeting a friend. A surprise visit, really. I should really give her a ring, but I don't have a phone with me.."

[Bean Bandit]

Rei smiles. "Shouldn't your friend be at school too?" she observes.

[Carthrat]

"Maybe," muses Carthrat, thinking. "How old are you, kid?"
