[Action A (MORNING): Neighborhood]

Father! Father! [ Is that Rin Tohsaka's voice? Yes, it most definitely is, but she seems to be a lot shorter than usual and hot on the trail of a certain drone. ] Father, we should return home to prepare for my studies for the day! Father, you don't work as a mechanic! Father!

[ Despite all of her cries, the man continues on ignoring the little girl as though he's never seen her before in his life. She'll pause to consider this, watching the man dressed like a mechanic disappear around a corner. Funny.. he didn't remind her too much of her father, but how else was she to explain this closeness? Something was up. Way up. In fact, this man wasn't the first to ignore her in this manner this morning now that she thought about it. ]

Alright! [ It's as though she came to a conclusion on the strangeness of the situation already. ] Time for the great Rin to solve this mystery once and for all. Don't worry, father, I'll save you from this horrible sorcery!

[Action B (MORNING): Mayfield High]

[ First things first: school. After all, it was fairly important she kept to her studies even if she thought they were pointless. She's not too sure why she's shown up to the school for older students, but it seemed like this was the place she's attended for the past year. Has she been here a whole year? It's strange, she thinks, to be away from Fuyuki City for so long. Her family must have their reasons though as she pushes open the door to her classroom.

Only to be greeted with emptiness. ]

Wha-? [ Was she not remembering things too clearly? ] Is there no school today..? I thought.. [ With that, she'll scratch the side of her head and leave the school in her confusion. ] Geez.. how can I make such a mistake?

[Action C (AFTERNOON): L'Déplaisant]

[ There's a very short girl with twintails looking around the restaurant expectantly, as though there's something here she needs to do. Perhaps there's someone here she needs to see specifically. Regardless, she'll act as though she owns the place as she moves to seat herself at her own table all while demanding the attention of some waiter. While she is pushy, she's rather polite about it all the same. ]

[Action D (NIGHTTIME): Olney's Tavern]

[ This was another place that Rin's sure she'll find the answers she seeks. All she needs to do is practice not getting kicked out. After three attempts of sneaking in through the front door, she'll begin to try a more clever route: the back door! Proceed to a) point, b) laugh, c) assist in kicking the little girl out! ]

OOC; all replies will come from anklegandr just so you're aware!

Comments

[anklegandr]

[ While in a normal situation a child may run off in tears, Rin is anything but normal! ]

What are you going to do about it if I don't go? [ Suddenly pointing a finger up towards him. ] You can't hit a kid!

[mr_badguy]

Says who? [Completely stony-faced. He's beaten up kids before, so what. He moves to grab Rin by whatever clothing he can get a hold of. He fully intends on bodily tossing her out the door.]

[anklegandr]

[ Just ... gonna kick and flail in the air as she's being carried off. ]

Says me! I'm friend with the bartenders!

[mr_badguy]

Just shut up. [He shoulders open the back door and tosses Rin outside...probably with a little more force than he needed to.]

Don't make me do that again.

[anklegandr]

[ OOF! and a roll to add. Once she stops moving, she'll push herself up off of her feet to shoot him a glare. ]

You wouldn't do it again! [ At some point she should realize it's a bad idea to taunt the guy who just tossed her, but on the other hand she's a brat. ] I'll make you pay for that!

[mr_badguy]

[Sol cracks his knuckles.]

I will do it again. Now get the fuck out of here. [He steps back inside. He's not actually interested in making sure she actually leaves; he just wants to get back to his liquor.]

[anklegandr]

[ >this face when he steps back indoors. ]

Hmph! I can't let him get away with this.

[ Any normal girl might have been scared off, but not this one. Instead, she sneaks back in through the back door, moving from table to table to try to find him.

A shame she doesn't have a box to hide under. It would be the perfect disguise. ]

[mr_badguy]

[Great. As if it weren't obvious...

He's hard to miss with the rat's nest of hair he's got. He's also really trying to drink his goddamn gin in peace. May god have mercy on you if you interrupt this.]

[anklegandr]

[ It's totally not obvious HMPH! His drink looks rather protected by his hand, but Rin is sure she knows how to light things on fire from a distance. In fact, she doesn't really remember how she learned to do that, but it's worth a try.

Once she's hidden behind a couple of boxes, of course. There's no way she'll be that obvious! With a quiet chant under her breath, she makes a small spark in the air which quickly evolves into a fireball the size of a nickel. ]

A-ha! [ Flicking it towards him.. it misses completely and fizzles into a glass of water next to him. ] Oh.. no good, no good.

[mr_badguy]

[Fire's one thing that doesn't bother him. He downs his shot of gin once again and heads for the stack of boxes. No more fucking around this time -- everyone around is just really lucky he doesn't have his fire abilities.]

You really want to start this shit again?

[anklegandr]

[ Abort! This mission is a failure! Run away, little Rin-chan!

... Except she's just going to stand up behind the boxes with her hands on her hips. ]

You're the one who started it!

[mr_badguy]

[Sol reaches for any piece of clothing he can get a hold of once again.]

Not this shit again...

[anklegandr]

[ She's going to try to make this a bit more difficult than before with her not-so-great dodging skills. ]

H-hey! You can't just grab at me like that!

[mr_badguy]

Watch me. [He's just going to keep trying until he wins this little battle. He has plans, oh yes.]

[anklegandr]

[ SQUIRMYSAKA DOESN'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

Sadly, she's pint-sized and that means there's not much fight to her. Enjoy the catch! ]

This isn't fair!

[mr_badguy]

[He just holds Rin like a football under one arm and heads back out the door.]

If I put you down, you better not come inside again, you little shit.

[anklegandr]

You shouldn't pick on kids! [ She'll just pull that card and all. ] I had no problem with you until you started throwing me around!!

[mr_badguy]

You shouldn't be coming into a fucking bar. [Oh look, a trash can. Sol has plans now. He takes the lid off of it.]

Now shut up and go away.

[anklegandr]

[ Oh no.. he wouldn't!!

HE SO WOULDN'T!! ]

H-Hey! You aren't thinking of dumping me there, are you? I can make a LOT of noise if you do!

[mr_badguy]

Be as loud as you want. [Yup. Just gonna...plop her in there and put the lid on it. He doesn't care how much noise she makes, he just wants to drink in peace, goddamn it.]

[anklegandr]

[ Insert one shaky trash can that involves lots and lots of banging. Did she find a pipe in there or something because geez it's loud. ]

YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!

[mr_badguy]

I just did. [This is Sol not caring. The back door of the bar slams shut as he goes back inside to his booth and another sweet, sweet shot of gin.]
