WELCOME TO JUUBAN! We hope you survive the experience.

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder

IC: Ryder suddenly smiled, and it wasn't one that would normally be on Minako's face...

Hmm... could this be who I'm looking for?  Can't pass up this chance...

And returning to her normal smile, she replied, "I'd love to check it out with you... A friend indeed is a friend in need after all," intentionally screwing the line up as to continue the act of being Minako.

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Ryder!

IC:

Rei sweatdropped, not bothering to correct Ryder, and nodded. "Thanks a lot. It shouldn't be too long...oh! By the way, there's a girl around town looking for you..."

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder!

IC: Raising her eyebrow... well, attempting to since Minako's eye muscles weren't accostomed to the action... Anyway, she almost raised her eyebrow and replied, "Somebody's looking for me?  Did she give you a name?"

Can't be too careful...

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Ryder!

IC:

Rei nodded. "Carthrat. Seems weird, but she was part caucasian, I think..."

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder!

IC: Ryder's eyes opened a bit, and she said, "You met Rat?!?  Where'd she go?"

After the burst of excitement died down, she added, "Sorry, it's just that Rat's a friend of mine online, and it's her first day in the country..."

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Ryder!

IC:

Rei blinked, and smiled faintly. "She's waiting downtown..." she replied, jerking her thumb over her shoulder. "Should you be meeting her instead?"

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder!

IC: With a bit of a flustered grin on her face, Ryder replied, "Well, I did give her directions to my house... BUT, of course, I neglected to include landmarks.  I'm not surprised she's lost..."

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Ryder!

IC:

Rei snickered and nodded. "That sounds about right. You want to go meet her? I don't know if I'll NEED backup, I just thought it'd be nice to have."

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder!

IC: With a small amount of indecision on her face, Ryder replied, "Well... I can always talk with Rat and show her around the city later.  Senshi business first, personal stuff later..."

If this IS the temple I'm looking for, then I need to get there as soon as possible...

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Ryder!

IC:

Rei nodded, and smiled. "I'll try and make it quick." she offered, and began to lead Minako away, taking her down a side street. "We'll go out here and grab a taxi..."

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Carthrat!

IC:

Ritsuko finished up the makeshift meal from the vending machines...and...sat around, waiting. The normal buzz of activity surrounded her, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary...

[Carthrat]

"Feh! This is taking too long.." mutters Carthrat, glancing around. "Rei probably didn't bother telling Ryder.. figures. Well, no matter. Nenene has her number, so I'll do what I should've done in the first place.."

Fishing in her pockets for some change, Carthrat heads for a phonebox..

[RyderHakubi]

OOC: Ryder

IC: As she's being taken away, a small flash of doubt crosses her mind...

And it's quickly erased... I'll give Nenene a call, she'll be able to find Rat somehow...

[Bean Bandit]

OOC: Too be continued, in 'Once Upon a Shrine!'
