Not The Best of Days

[nozomisitter]

[1 - High School]

[It wasn't often that Rin had to deal with fans of her athletic ability, but it was the first time that drones were coming up to her, praising her like she had suddenly gotten the level of popular status. Which, admittedly wasn't a new thing since her school back home often praised her for these things. But there were girls hanging on her every motion.]

Rin! Do you want to come to the malt shop after school?

Rin! Come help us design something for this home ec project!

Hey beautiful, do you want to go out tonight?

[Someone help Rin before she explodes from all of these questions and does someone an injury?]


[2 - Anywhere - Hospital]

[Having escaped the drones somehow, Rin had managed to get home in time for a phone call demanding why she hadn't shown up for two days at the hospital as a candy striper. Two days. Oh dear. With that in mind, Rin found a uniform in her closet and charged out the door, struggling on her outfit as she made a beeline for the hospital. Darnit if it wasn't one thing it was another!]


Phone - Filtered from Drones

Is it even POSSIBLE for one day to go by without this place making me completely bonkers? Not only I suddenly became popular but I just spent four hours as a candy striper. Who does this to me without asking anyhow?

[Shoutaro is actually investigating the high school today. He's being as nonchalant as possible, while taking notes. But he'll frown upon seeing the scene in front of him.]

Oi! I could've sworn that this was a school, not an idol event. Get lost!

[He'll snort as the crowd dashes off. Time to check on the girl.]

You ok kid?

[The drones, disappointed they couldn't get Rin to themselves, trundled off as Rin dusted off her dress.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little surprised s'all. I didn't expect this to happen when I stepped into school today.

Re: 1

[sinistraljoker]

That much of a change, is it?

[That might be something to look into: how the kids here were being played with by the town.]

Re: 1

[nozomisitter]

Yeah. Lately it's been bad, but since it's after school it's fine now. I can deal with people approaching me after class, just not during it.

Re: 1

[sinistraljoker]

Maybe one of the non-drone teachers can help stem the tide a bit?

Re: 1

[nozomisitter]

I'll have to ask. There's not much I can do in between classes but there's always girls and guys coming up to talk to me that are drones.

Re: 1

[sinistraljoker]

If I had a couple of my friends here, I could ask them how to deal with this kind of stuff. They're sort of wannabie-idols, and they're used to it.

[Though, he'd feel really bad if Queen and Elizabeth were here, don't get him wrong.]

Not to mention that I haven't been in high school for a while.

Re: 1

[nozomisitter]

Yeah you don't look like you've been in high school for a bit anyhow.

I'm Rin by the way. Rin Natsuki.

[sinistraljoker]

Shoutaro Hidari. Nice to meet you.

[Tip of the hat.]

I don't look THAT old do I?

Re: 1

[nozomisitter]

Just old enough to pass for a college student at least. [Yeah meaning you look kinda young, Shoutarou.]

Re: 1

[sinistraljoker]

Ah. I never did go to college. Too busy learning the hard world of detective work.

[While dealing with Dopants aplenty.]

Re: 1

[nozomisitter]

Really? Seems like you've gotten it all down. Even got the hat and everything.

Re: 1

[sinistraljoker]

It took me a while to earn this hat. The Boss always said that it takes a 'true man' to wear something with this kind of weight.

And I took a number of smacks for trying to wear it early.

[Though...just HOW he earned the hat isn't a story for a meeting.]

Re: 1

[nozomisitter]

Your boss sounds like quite the character. [And probably not at least.]

So what are you doing at the high school right now?

Re: 1

[sinistraljoker]

Was. The Boss is no longer with us.

[He'll keep his composure in high mode the entire time. Good work Shou!]

I'm investigating all aspects of the town. The high school is the next place on my list.

phone

[rutheniaalba]

.... Candy.... stripper? [ Look at Belarus, look at her being completely confused and just. What. ]

Re: phone

[nozomisitter]

[asddsfsd] Not candy "stripper", striper. Like stripes. It's an old fashioned name for basically a volunteer hospital worker.

phone I am a horrible person, can you tell?

[rutheniaalba]

Ah.

You're in the hospital, I see. [ A short pause. ] Have any good painkillers or something to stop the bloody coughing? [ "Bloody" meant literally. ]

Re: phone haha yes

[nozomisitter]

Painkillers? Well I can't get the medicine but I think a couple of our doctors are non-drones, like Dr. Date and Dr. Mordin. I'm still at the hospital so I could book you an appointment.

phone /quietly hides

[rutheniaalba]

Tch, I know what's wrong with me but fine.

[ A huff, before she muttered something in her own language most likely just a curse or something along those lines since it really keeps acting up. Damn radiation sickness. ]

Re: phone /drags out

[nozomisitter]

If you're coughing you really need to get it checked anyhow. Maybe the doctors have something to curb it.

Say tomorrow at 10:40? Just report to the front desk.

phone slkfhdsfds >w<

[rutheniaalba]

Right, maybe.

[ Another pause, and a nod. ]

Hm, sound good, not that there is much I do in this place.

Re: phone ^_^

[nozomisitter]

Yeah, all right so I'll pencil you in then. [Quite literally.]

Can I get your name so we've got it for the record books?

phone <3

[rutheniaalba]

Belarus, or if you want my own name, Natasha Alfroskaya.

Re: phone <3

[nozomisitter]

All right, I've got you in for 10:40. One of our non-drone doctors will be with you that day.

I hope we can help of course.
