mayfield_rpg | Not The Best of Days

[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?

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.

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

I'm Rin by the way. Rin Natsuki.

Shoutaro Hidari. Nice to meet you.

[Tip of the hat.]

I don't look THAT old do I?

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

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

[While dealing with Dopants aplenty.]

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

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.]

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

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

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.

Ah I see. My condolences.

[Switching to the other topic she nodded.] Well the high school is, well a high school. An American one no less but that's about par for the course.

Thank you.

Well, even the most ordinary place can have its secrets.

[Like a museum fronting as a Gaia Memory distributor.]

So, I can't let anything be left unexplored.

That's true. Though I haven't seen anything odd about the place yet.

It's the same for a bunch of places I've checked out. I'm saving the ones that everyone talks about for last.

[And keeping his Driver on hand for those.]

Like the Dairy and the Police Office?

Yeah. I probably won't get inside, but I'm going to get as many details about them as I can.

That would probably be for the best. They keep the revival machine in there and that's what caused the problem in January.

Problem? What kind of problem?

[Though...he could probably guess if it involved a 'revival' machine.]

People started dying from old wounds, and then they body horrored a lot of people via surgeries before finally fixing it.

[Shoutaro growls.]

Whhaat? What does fixing it have to do with experimenting on people?

And how the heck did it get broken?

The first part, no clue. It was probably just a whole bunch of horribleness.

The second, it was someone with grenades.

Glad I missed it then.

[But he has to keep frowning.]

Then...that is what caused that letter to be sent out a few days ago.

And that group of fanatics too maybe...

Letter? You mean from GlaDoS?

Yeah. Maybe there were other factors...but she must've had that in mind when she wrote it.

Mmm that might be true then. Weird that.

Though...I did agree with her. Heroes shouldn't act that rashly against something they don't understand. They're supposed to protect people...not act like an army.

And with this place, there's a lot not to understand.
