Everyone Needs a Hobby (OPEN)

[Amaranth]

Humans sure were weird. Amaranth had gotten used to most of their odd little quirks in the past 20 years, but there were always things that eluded her. For one, why did people expect her to go to school every day? She understood that for a normal human their education really may be needed for them to not be useless later in life, but that seemed like a personal problem. Why were the various administrators and teachers bothering her about it? If she failed she failed; it was entirely her fault and the consequences should affect her alone. Furthermore, she was doing just fine in school even when she didn't go every day, so why should she waste her time going every day when she could be doing more important things?

Today was one of those days. Sitting in school would just be a waste of time, and she had an important mission: increase the number of people she had scanned. Amaranth had already scanned her entire class and most of the school, so she had to find somewhere else to sit today. What better place to watch than a crowded rail station? Shibuya Station was the closest one to where she lived, and even though it wasn't the busiest one she was sure that she would have plenty of people to observe. So, she grabbed her laptop, filled up a water bottle about the size of her forearm with Cielo Mist, grabbed a huge bag of taffy and headed for the station.

Amaranth waited until it was about lunch time so that the station would be rather crowded, and she wasn't at all dissapointed by what she saw. There were people EVERYWHERE. She scanned at least 20 before even finding a comfortable place to sit down! Once she did, she pulled out her laptop and plugged it into a nearby outlet. The laptop was really only there to make her look more natural, though anyone that looked at her closely enough would realize that she was hardly even looking at it. For the perceptive, they might even notice that the letters reflected in her eyes were not the same was what was reflected on her screen. Right now, all she could see was her radar in her left eye and the information on the people she was scanning in her right.

At this rate she was hoping she could have half the town scanned by next week and thus be able to locate them instantly. She also swore to herself that she was definitely not a stalker and this was for safety purposes only. She had no idea how many of these people were demons or summoners, so obviously she had to find out...right?

Kyosuke Tachibana just happened to be skipping school today. Well it was for good reason despite how illegal it was. It was simply arms deal that went off without a hitch. He had to pay quite the sum of cash to keep police presence in the area at minimum for the amount of time the deal would go on. Thank god the cops now a days are easy to bribe. Seriously if they stuck with their honor bull then maybe JUST maybe things would be a bit harder. Of course the cops were the least of Kyo's troubles. The plague like to roam these parts so he had to be extra careful. Sure he was armed his last resort but for once he would take the gun's name literal and use it as a last resort. The only other weapon Kyo had on him was a simply butterfly knife. Still he doubt that those morons would even try to attack him especially not in broad daylight. Well that isn't always the case but when your young and inexperienced like most of the plague are, FEAR was your biggest weakness and in this case it'd be either the fear of getting killed or the fear of getting caught by the cops. The big corporation backing them wouldn't bail out a few grunts. Now Kyo really was simply wasting time now in the railway station. He looked at his watch and it showed him that it was about lunch time, 12:30 PM to be exact. He was simply walking with the crowd just looking for something to do. If he got bored, well trouble would ensue and typically when Kyosuke gets bored, things get destroyed. It wasn't until a girl with a laptop caught his eye. Well well, someone cutting school isn't that a joy to see. Hmm might as well strike up a conversation right? So with a slight grin on his face Kyo would approach the girl with a look of interest on his face. "Hmm is it really interesting what your doing? It looks like your paying more attention to the people than your screen." Resistance Muse Notes: how2reply? Words: -- Tagged: Amaranth, Open! [/style]

Amaranth jumped a little when the guy spoke to her. Normally she could tell when anyone was approaching her, but it was nearly impossible for her to keep track of everyone entering that radius because of the sheer number of them. This was about the only way to sneak up on her, and because she wasn't used to anyone being able to pull it off she was more surprised than an ordinary person would be. She continued to stare into the crowd for a few seconds while her current scan finished, and then turned to him and scanned him.

Kyousuke Tachibana
The World
Weapon modifications
Firearms
Reading

A list of his skills continued to pass through her right eye, however her scans normally took a few seconds. That coupled with her somewhat awkward reaction to him striking up a conversation made her decide to respond during the scan rather than after, even if it did make it a little more difficult to keep track of both the scan results and the conversation when she did that.

"It isn't," she frowned. "The internet is boring as hell right now. I'm just waiting for someone and, the jerk is late as usual."

Amaranth grabbed a piece of taffy and tossed it into her mouth in an effort to look a little irritated to keep up the lie. That was when something interesting showed up in her scan. This was one of those people with another thing inside of them. She didn't know much about them, but she was always very interested in meeting more. This one didn't seem to be fully realized, which was surprising to her considering how strong most of its skills were.

"I keep hoping I'll see her in the crowd, and it's not like I have anything better to do right now when the online world is being this boring."

Well if someone randomly popped up to you like that you'd probably jump too. Kyo wasn't exactly surprised by that at all. Still there was something off about her. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but she didn't seem all that normal. Then again he isn't all that normal himself. For now he'd be a bit wary of the girl but keeping the conversation going seemed like a good idea. He didn't really have anything better to do after that arms deal anyway. "The internet is boring, and your 'jerk' of a friend is late. Well doesn't that suck for you." Kyo said looking back into the crowd. It wasn't always a good idea to be so blunt about things like this but that was his personality so why change it? Though if he was bored and she was bored maybe they could go find something to do. Kyo was always interested in making associates and for all he knew this girl could know some valuable information. After all not everyone in this city is clueless about whats going on. The fact that this whole region isn't a back and forth war in broad daylight is actually almost surprising. "Hmm I bet this friend of yours won't be coming soon so how about we go do something? It'd probably cure that boredom of yours and mine as well. Oh I'm Kyo. Kyosuke said with that ever love-able grin of his. The kid knew Shibuya, he had to. You can't go into enemy territory and not know an escape route or five. That'd just be asking for death. Resistance Muse Notes: Shorter than I wanted but I think it'll do.

"It does suck. Life is hard," she sighed and pouted.

What he said next was really weird. Was he calling her on her bluff? It was hard to tell because his question didn't really mesh with some guy calling out a naughty teenager. Amaranth simply raised her eyebrows in response to that, and started scrolling through her scan to see if 'detecting lies' was on his list of skills.

"Huh? Why don't you think she'll show up? Do you even know who I'm talking about? Because that would be kiiiiind of creepy!"

Amaranth held off on scanning another person. This guy obviously required more of her focus right now. She popped another piece of taffy into her mouth and frowned.

"Well, even if you were some weird psychic guy it seems kind of douchy to just ditch her...even if she is 30 minutes late...again," she coughed, "Uh, for some guy I just met. And is a bit on the weird and possibly creepy side..." She paused for a moment, looked back into the crowd and then back at him. "Why do you think she's not going to show up again?"

Sometimes nice gestures just aren't good anymore. So he did what does best, resort to sarcastic and snide remarks. Kyo knew very well that not everyone can react to sarcasm well. In all honesty however, he really didn't care. "Trust me I'm normal, well at least as normal as they come now a days. Honestly if your friend was actually coming, they probably would of called or they probably would've texted you. They would of given some indication that they're alright. Seriously no friend should be 30 minutes late without some reason." Kyo ranted. Now this girl could easily kill his argument by saying she doesn't have a cellphone. Truthfully even he knew that it'd be nothing more than a lie if she spouted out that crap. It is the year 2015 and it's Japan! It'd almost be a crime not having a cellphone in this day and age. Still Kyo felt that this girl was hiding something. He was starting to get interested in just what this girl might be hiding. Resistance Muse Notes: Snark bomb go~ Words: -- Tagged: Amaranth, Open!
