[Day: Friday, April 2nd. Time: 6:00 p.m.] [Weather: Dusk! Still warm, but getting a bit cooler. Not so humid by now.] [Kaede and Satoshi are in Satoshi's appartment. They've searched high and low for Jin, but he's not there. Not on the couch, not in the shower, not even behind the breadbox. Satoshi now has 7 chickens, though.] [And Haruko just sent a text message.] [Session Start!] * Kaede grumbles as he dusts loose feathers off himself, reaching for his phone. "Where does he keep getting these things?" I wish I knew, but I've honestly given up on trying to figure it out. I got rid of them once. More took their place. * Kaede looks at his phone. "Huh." Hmm? Haruko's talked to Saori apparently. * Kaede furrows his brow, scrolling through the text. She said she was planning on doing that. * Kaede tsshes between his teeth and slips the phone in his pocket. He does not seem pleased. What's wrong? Well, she thinks we should trust the Heirophant.. * Kaede pauses at the end of the statement a little awkwardly. And? * Kaede takes out his phone and holds it out to Satoshi. His thumb is over the "Bad things either way" part. * Satoshi reads it. "Someone gets hurt either way. Great. Wait, find Taki?" Then he notices there's another message and scrolls down. "Went somewhere stable... she ran away?" * Kaede curses a little bit and takes back the phone. "Focus, Satoshi. We can worry about that later." * Satoshi sighs. "Right. Well, unless he's hiding under the couch, Jin's not here." No he's not.. * Kaede puts his knuckle under his chin and stands there, head slightly cast in thought. He'll show up right when we don't need him. So. Are we going to check Katie's house? Well...what exactly do we know about the Heirophant? Hinako Arai... the Hermit said she was one of the World War II representatives. Like he is, and Katie, and that guy with the gang. I met her when you guys were between worlds, and she told me what I needed to do to save you. * Kaede nods. "Russian wasn't it?" Yes. So... I want to say we can trust her. But I'm not entirely sure. * Kaede paces a little as he thinks. "We've got to figure this out, Satoshi...if we don't know what her agenda is, how can we know? Well, she certainly wanted you to come back to this world. Of course, there can be a lot of reasons why. ( "Of course we can't trust her. She's a Commie!" ) I can't help feeling like this is some sort of test... like a test of loyalty or something. What's more, WHY the foreign representatives? I understand it has to deal with the War but... * Kaede rubs his head, muttering to himself. "Maybe we're going the wrong way about this...what's the easiest way to find out about Arcana? There isn't one? Seriously, though... what exactly do you mean? Like, what their card is supposed to stand for, or who they are, or what? * Kaede starts up by holding a finger out, expecting to speak and then just looks at Satoshi, surprised. * Satoshi blinks at him. "Yes?" * Kaede laughs. "You figured it out." First time I haven't had to prompt you. Well done. * Satoshi half-smiles. "Thanks, I think." But yeah. What does the Heirophant stand for? Why don't we look that up on the way? Why not? You ready to go, then? * Kaede nods and grabs his jacket. He seems to have been in a rush all this time. Probably the side of Kaede they see at the shop. ( AKA the left side. ) (It is his best side after all) * Satoshi heads out after Kaede and locks the door behind them. [Off they go! Meanwhile Jin emerges from beneath the couch.] [Time: 6:30. They arrive outside of Katie's house!] (*cracks up* I'm going to kill you, Brett. But first, I'm laughing.) (Would the time be affected if they stopped by a bookstore and picked up a tarot book?) (They'd probably have done that and looked up the Heirophant along the way.) ( Sure, add 10 minutes. ) [Time: 6:40. They arrive outside of Katie's house!] [The lights are off and the door's closed. Which beats the lights being off and the door being open.] * Kaede walks forward slowly. Mostly because he's looking at an open book on Tarot as he walks. He pushes up his glasses as he reads and his lips quirk into a mild frown. * Satoshi makes sure Kaede's not going to run into any lampposts or other such things, then frowns when he sees the house. "Looks like no one's home." [Sure does.] This doesn't look good. I'd think that at least one of her parents would be home in case she tried to contact them there. * Kaede scans over to the page. "Listen to this: "The Heirophant reflects our inner desire to give meanings to things and to raise our consciousness so that we no longer feel divided within ourselves." * Satoshi is still looking at the house. "Our inner desire to give meaning to things. So she shows up just as we're, once again, trying to figure out the purpose of the Arcana." "The Heirophant is the driving force behind the spiritual beliefs or philosophical values that each of us forms. Sooner or later, life requires us to put these to the test and see if they are able to sustain us." (... Picked up a crowd today?) ( Yep! ) (Hee!) * Kaede looks up at Satoshi and nods slowly. "It makes sense, doesn't it? But..." * Kaede closes the book. "The card seems to focus the good of the many over the good of the one..." And we're worried about one in particular. Is this some sort of test, like I was wondering earlier? * Kaede sighs and rubs his temples. "I wonder too..." But the less we know, the more likely we are to do something rash... * Kaede folds the book under his arm and glances over at Katie's house. "Do you think there's a way to check inside?" (Well, Satoshi *can* break down the door... so I'd say yes.) If Taki were here, we might be able to get inside. I guess the best we can do is look in the windows. (Yeah, but that's really, *really* a last resort kind of thing.) (Didn't you miss me? ;P) * Kaede just looks over at Satoshi steadily for a while. "Right...windows.." * Satoshi starts walking over. "Well, I could break down the door, but unless we've got a *very* good reason for that, I'd rather not." * Kaede smirks slightly at Satoshi. "Sure you're not using your telepathy without telling me?" ~No, I'd tell you if I were.~ * Kaede gets a neutral expression and looks back at Satoshi, pushing his glasses up his nose. "Not funny." You know I'd never actually read your mind without asking first. Or you indicating that it was all right to do so. * Kaede sighs. "I'm not serious ALL the time, Watanabe-san. As much as you'd like to believe it." * Kaede peers in the nearest window.. * Satoshi scratches the back of his neck. "True. It's just that I rarely see that side of you, due to all the circumstances we find ourselves in." He looks in another window. [Everythin' looks normal.] * Kaede sighs. "I need to be serious. If I'm not, who else would be?" Good point. * Satoshi moves to another window. You go around that end...I'll go around this one... Right. * Kaede points in the directions. "If you find something, holler." * Kaede walks around the house, looking everywhere he can for anything unusual, inside and outside. * Satoshi does the same for his side. ( Gimme perception checks. ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 10. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 10, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Hey, a failure. Oh, by the way... I heard what you've been saying about me." (WAIT!) (I forgot...I bought HA last CP o/~) (...) (Good for you!) (Woo!) (I've gone for so long without. ;P) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 9, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "Your logic is faulty, your intelligence is doubtful, and your sumo is insufficient." (Thanks Dicy, I'll take a DR) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 8. (...I hate you) Hey, Kaede? * Kaede calls out. "Nothing on my end...what'd you find?" Well, something that looks like it could have been left behind by an alien spaceship. But I really doubt that's it. ...what? (What is it with Katie getting kidnapped and long strings of critfails? ^^;) There's this odd-looking circle of grass that reminds me of something out of a science fiction movie. That's all, though. ...no Satoshi, for some strange reason, I don't think Katie was abducted by space aliens. I know. Just thought I'd point the grass out. That's the only odd thing I found. * Kaede sighs and meets back up with him... * Kaede checks his watch for the time too Still... no, never mind. [Time: 6:55] What time would you think her parents would get home from work? DO both her parents work? I don't think her mom does. She's been here when I've been over after school. * Kaede frowns. Test the doors...we've got to get in there...if her mother's been gone this long... * Satoshi walks over to the door and tests the knob. Is it locked or not? [It's locked!] * Satoshi looks back at Kaede. "It's locked." * Kaede rolls his eyes. "Satoshi..." * Satoshi eyes Kaede. "Well, isn't Haruko supposed to meet us here? Maybe she can get it unlocked." We don't have time to wait on Haruko... 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6-3) and gets 3. Wait. There's a field. * Kaede raises an eyebrow. "There is? Inside?" He looks at the door... I don't know where it's coming from, just that there is one. * Kaede narrows his eyes. "Well, this is the perfect time if any...if there's a field we don't need to worry about it...break down the door, Satoshi." * Demota has joined #Arcana * Taki speaks from behind Satoshi and Kaede, "Wha...what are you doing here?" * Kaede steps away from it. * Kaede stops and blinks. * Satoshi whirls around. "Taki?" This is one of yours? * Kaede slowly turns and looks at Taki surprised. * Taki is a few steps behind them and stareing, "I thought that you'd...that both of you were going..." * Taki shakes her head, "Have to find Katie." Wait Taki...we have to find out what HAPPENED to Katie.. We're trying. Can you teleport us inside her house? We can't just rush into this.. * Taki nods, "Saw it once." Well, we can get inside now *without* me having to break down the door. So let's go. * Taki walks up to Satoshi and puts a hand on his arm, surpisingly she's not shaking right now. * Kaede rubs his head. "But if there's a field, it doesn't ma-- oh...nevermind." He walks over to Taki. * Satoshi looks down at Taki and smiles ever-so-briefly. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 8. [You're inside! It's dark!] [You're at that area where Japanese people take their shoes off.] * Kaede frowns and looks around. "Hold on...let me try something.." * Kaede puts his hand against the nearest wall he can find and concentrates. If nothing happens, he searches for a bit. * Taki nods. (not that anybody can see it in the dark) Okay. I...I should have gotten a flashlight (and put one of thoes periods at the end of the sentance too.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 7. [Kaede finds a power outlet.] * Kaede closes his eyes and there's a brief glimmer from his hands as he tries to light up as much as he can. [The front area lights up. ] * Satoshi shuts his eyes briefly when the lights go on, then takes a look around. * Taki does her best to look around and take her shoes off at the same time, "Th-thanks Kaede." * Kaede opens his eyes. "Look for a switch...I don't know how long I can keep this up without draining myself." * Satoshi looks for a lightswitch as well. [Satoshi finds one!] * Satoshi turns the lights on. (That'd be difficult o/~) [The lights are on!] ( My bad. ) [The lights are off!] ['Cept the ones Kaede's using.] The field. Taki, can you bring it down? * Taki grits her teeth, "I'm starting to hate it." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 7. * Taki flickers in place, "Now?" Still up. Nrgh. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 5. * Taki sounds rather iratable, "Now?" It's down. * Satoshi tries the light switch again. * Taki swallows, "After I find Katie we're..." We'll work on it. * Kaede raises an eyebrow at Taki. "After *you* find Katie? We're in this together, Taki." Right right. Katie now. * Taki walks off into depths of Katie's house, unless there's a huge ransom not written in blood on the walls or something. * Kaede sighs and looks around the house, removing his hand provided Satoshi's switch worked. "Hold it...we're still not sure if what the Heirophant said was accurate or not..." * Taki stops short and calls out, "Helllo? Is Katie home?" [Katie calls, "Noooooo!" Just kidding. Nobody responds.] * Kaede sighs and takes a good look around the interior. ( Awareness checks! ) 2d6-2 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Taki (2d6) and gets 6. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Satoshi (2d6-2) and gets 4. (Probibly not) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 5. [Nobody notices anything that seems unusual.] * Satoshi shakes his head. "I don't see anything." * Taki cocks her head for a moment, "S-see? Nobody here." This is strange...how could everyone in the house just...disappear like this? If I knew that...I woudn't be here right now...I'd be wherever they went. * Kaede sighs and rubs his forehead. "It was a rhetorical question...are you okay, Taki-san?" * Taki shakes her head, "No I'm not. I'm tired and angry and want to find Katie and this stupid field keeps going off whenever it feels like it!" * Satoshi squeezes Taki's arm gently. "So let's keep looking. Maybe in one of the other rooms we'll find something." Well, at least you're honest. * Taki starts to laugh. * Kaede walks to the stairs, calling out. "Is anyone home?" [No answer!] * Kaede adds quieter. "...and if they were, how would you explain how you got in their house...?" At this point, does it matter? No. ( Yes. Katie's dad is a Texan. ) * Kaede heads for Katie's room. [Kaede finds it! There's wood.] [Everything seems normal.] * Taki manages to get herself back under control, as she follows Kaede. * Kaede looks around for any evidence of Katie's satchel, school supplies, etc. [They all seem to be there.] ... Hey guys? Check this out... Wh-what? * Kaede looks for Katie's uniform. What is it? * Taki peeks into Katie's room as requested. * Kaede stops looking for just a moment. "All her school supplies are still here..." So... she never left for school this morning? So it would seem wouldn't it? I'm looking to see if her uniform's still here too.. * Taki nods, and then after a bit adds, "Do they... have a car?" ( Gimme an awareness check, Kaede. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6-2) and gets 4. [Kaede goes through Katie's clothes and eventually finds her uniform.] * Kaede pulls her uniform out a bit and frowns at it... I don't know if they do. I'm...pretty sure they do * Taki looks at Katie's school uniform. Does she only have one uniform? That, I wouldn't know. I guess we should check her parents' room next. I've never asked... * Taki looks down at the floor. It's not a question you think about often * Kaede nods to Satoshi. "Lead the way." * Satoshi heads for her parents' room, or at least where he thinks it would be. * Taki follows Satoshi now, and a bit slower than she was following Kaede. [Her parent's room looks considerably nicer.] * PackinArd has joined #arcana [Not that Katie's a slob or anything.] (What's this about Katie? ;P) [Irregardless, nothing seems out of place here, either.] * Satoshi shakes his head. "Everything looks fine here." (Kaede's digging through her clothes o/~) (Nah, he's finished doing that) (And the the contraction of 'Kaede was' ;P) (Don't use was as a contraction! It's confusing!) ( Use, "Kaede'uz." ) * Taki looks around the parents room. (Bed made?) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kaede (2d6) and gets 6. ( Yeah ) (Is her mom's purse there? Or her dad's briefcase?) ( Nope ) * Kaede looks around and frowns, shaking his head. 'There's nothing here.." * Taki walks out of the bedroom without a word and starts looking for the kitchen. I don't see anything that looks like her mom's purse or her dad's briefcase, so they could have headed out, I guess... but why wouldn't they be back by now? Mind control? Being held hostage? Pure coincidence? There's all sorts of explanations. [Taki finds one! Everything's neat and tidy.] ( Aliens. ) (Yes!) * Satoshi heads out after Taki. "Yeah, I know. Just none of them ones that I like." * Taki starts looking around for the dirty dishes, or a dishwasher, or just the counters to try and figure out what the last meal they had was. [There's a box of Frosted Flakes. Mmm mmm...] [Next to a box of Cap 'N Crunch. Not the liquid version.] Look, I think we found all we're going to find...we know Katie never even got ready for school this morning...that puts it at this morning or last night...beyond that... (Katie comes from a sugary cereal family. This shouldn't surprise anybody.) (Bowels? or has everything been put away?) (Nope.) (Bowels! Eew.) [There's no bowels. Or bowls.] (...Grahghmghrgh!) (I swer if ther's a way for me to screw up a word, I've done it today!) (... ::headdesk::) ...Breakfast? What about breakfast? * Taki does one last check around the kitchen for signs of dinner. [No signs of dinner!] * Taki nods to herself, and then points at the cereal boxes, "This morning." ..before I came.. Taki...Haruko wasn't able to be specific...what exactly was Saori's reading? Do you remember? * Taki nods again. * Taki closes her eyes to think, "First was Katie's card...and then The Tower... The Heirophant... and then the Five of Cups...Death and the last one was The Chariot reversed. Five was something bad would happen, Death us being able to change who too and..." ...that doesn't sound good..what was the relation of the cards? (That was a Star reading right?) (Not really.) (Layout's similar, though.) (Close enough for Taki right now) So...we can change who it happens to, but not... Wait, isn't Remi the 5 of cups? I think she is. ...is *that* who Arai-san had to get? * Taki opens he eyes again, "She said he..." Oh, good. Err, no offense, Kaede, but Remi's... well... you know. I wasn't thinking that... She's a nutcase. I know that. * Kaede walks slightly away, thinking and apparently not upset. * Satoshi nods sheepishly. "So, what were you thinking?" But I was thinking if she represents her card...and the cards point to a situation like THAT... * Satoshi inhales sharply. "Oh no..." * Taki shakes her head, "She just said that ment something bad would happen." Story of Remi's life, isn't it? But the 5 of cups is something specific...something...something... * Kaede gives up and flips through the book he just got. It says here a change in relationships. Well, if something happens to her and we can't help, I'd say that would change our relationships. * Kaede looks at Taki. "Haruko said she wouldn't say who..." * Taki turns pink and looks away, "she didn't know..." Did she know HOW they'd get hurt? * Taki looks down now, and nearly mumbles, "only that we could change who...and it was a loss no matter what." Damn... But what TYPE of loss? ( Your favorite hockey team will lose the championship. ) * Kaede rubs his forehead and sighs. "I knew I should have gone..." (It's true for Satoshi, actually. But not true for me. ;p) * Taki looks back up at Kaede, and yells "I DON'T KNOW! SHE WOULDN'T TELL ME!" * Satoshi actually takes a step back. * Taki eps and blushes harder. Taki, calm down. I'm TRYING! * Kaede glances at Taki and pushes his glasses up calmly. "If you snapped like that in front of her, I'm not surprised." * Taki curls her hands into shaking fists. * Satoshi puts his hands on her shoulders and gently turns her to face him. "Taki, was there anything else she did say?" * Kaede shakes his head. "Look, this is getting us nowhere...the fact is we need to know everything she DID say and everything you asked." * Taki gets turned away from Kaede, "IF..." If? * Taki starts again at something resembling her normal tone of voice, "If we trust the person who told us....don't go." Don't go? * Kaede sighs and nods a little. Haruko wants to trust her...I...frankly I don't know...but she's a better shot in the dark than the rest of us.. Don't try to find Katie... I can't do that. I just can't. I'm just...worried that she may have a bigger scheme in mind... I don't know what her motivations are. But if she represents testing beliefs... well, we're definitely being tested now. * Taki unclenches her hands and brings one of them up to wipe at her eyes. I still say we look for Winston if we can... Well, she's certainly put us in a good position to do what she suggests... we don't really have any clue as to where she might be now anyway. This...all this mystery irritates me. Me too. Maybe that stupid field will come in useful. * Satoshi looks down at Taki. "You're not talking about going to the World Reversed, are you?" * Taki looks up at Satoshi, "Where else is he?" * Satoshi opens his mouth, then shuts it and swallows. "But... well, we couldn't find Jin, but... you can't..." I can. Just need Haruko or The...Argh she's got Saki! * Taki scouls and looks away from Satoshi. * Kaede looks at Taki. "You understand that if you send us to the World Reversed, you'll be knocked out..." And...we'll need someone to get us back too. * Taki nods slowly, not looking at either of the others. * Kaede sighs, "Alright...if you think it's for the better..." Let's tell Haruko to meet us at the Tower. Yes. * Satoshi shakes his head. "Taki... are you *sure* you want to do this? What if you become the person who gets hurt?" ( Brain damage o/~ ) It's *really* dangerous. * Taki halfway mutters, "then it isn't Katie" and then speaks up, "Where is she?" (The way she's acting right now, might actually be an improvement. ) (I'd hit you, but I agree. @_@;;;) * Kaede starts sending Haruko a text message to meet them at the Tower. I know that, but it's the only thing I can do right now. How'd you get back last time, Satoshi? There has to be another way. I don't want you to... I mean, I'm not wishing pain on Katie, but... * Satoshi looks over at Kaede. "Huh? Oh. Matthias brought us back." Look, there's no time to argue...or waffle over it. If we're going to decide to do this, we need to DO IT. NOW. Akemi sent us over and Matthias brought us back. I'm going. So we need someone else who can create fields...Akemi...or Matthias... * Kaede 's face quirks for a second. "Or Remi.." * Satoshi looks back down at Taki and says, softly, "Nothing I can say will change your mind, will it?" * Taki shakes her head, and tries to speak quitly enough that Kaede can't hear, "I wish you could." * Satoshi looks, for a second, like he really wishes Kaede weren't right there, then hugs her tightly. "Okay. I'll... I'll trust you on this, if that's what things come down to." * Kaede snaps the phone closed. "We'll go ahead. Since you can teleport, you can find someone else who can use a field a lot faster than we can and bring them along, Taki." * Taki moves what she can of he arms to hug Satoshi back, "Thankyou." I don't really care who you end up convincing, but we need two. * Satoshi looks like he doesn't quite want to leave Taki, but he nods at Kaede. * Taki can't turn to face Kaede but tries to speak to him anyway, "You're the one who knows them." * Kaede turns to Taki irritatedly. "Perhaps, but there's no time for this. If we need to gather, you're the best way to get everyone together." * Taki sounds a bit iritated again, "I don't know where they are." Akemi's probably at the shop...I hate to ask her again, but she's probably the best one to help us.. I don't want anything to happen to her though.. But Taki...if we're going to trust the Heirophant or not, we need to know soon. Or else it'll be too late for our trust or distrust to matter. ...I am going to find Katie. I told you that. I can't not try. Right...and the best way to find her is to get all the information we can.. Yes. Call Akemi. * Taki adds as an afterthought, "Please." * Kaede grumbles something about when was he in charge of that but dials anyhow. * Kaede doesn't blink an eye at the usual response. "Hi Akemi. It's me." * Kaede keeps a relatively straight face. "Then how are you cashiering? * Kaede sighs and puts a hand in his pocket. "Are you wearing enough to come to the Tower then?" * Taki slumps slightly against Satoshi while she waits. * Satoshi keeps his arm around her and looks at her with concern. * Kaede sighs. "We need to get to the Reversed World again..." * Taki looks very very tired. * Kaede bites his lip for a moment then looks at everyone for a second, before continuing, softer. "Katie's gotten kidnapped. We want answers. And the best person for that lives in the World Reversed. We tried to find a safer way of going, but he's never around when you need him.." (He's a champion hide and go seek player!) (Seriously.) Yeah... I hate to ask you again so soon...I know what happened last time you... "We're AT her home" "There's no one...not even her parents." "She never came. Her uniform and satchel are still here at her house." * Kaede sighs. "No, she didn't skip. She's not the type to skip." "Akemi.... "Positive." "I can't think of anywhere else she'd be..." (Her parents packed her off to a sudden funeral...Oh wait that was me.) * Kaede mmms and cups his hand over the phone. "We talked with Chikako, right...?" * Taki shakes her head slightly. I thought we did... I must've been thinking of yesterday. * Satoshi looks at Taki. "Do you have her number?" * Kaede frowns a little and talks into the phone. "I think we may have missed something..." He looks over at Satoshi and Taki. "They're going to call.." he puts his hand over the phone. "If you don't, I'd suspect Katie has it in an address book or something around here. This is her house.." (I'm pretty sure Taki has Chikako's number. I mean, she said she'd call her a few sessions ago.) (Did? I can' remember any more.) ( You can find out easily enough. ) (Yes. And then Taki was freaking 'cause she didn't, and she made Kyon say sorry for her. ;P) (Oh yeah! I remember that now ^^;) (*laughs*) * Kaede takes a deep breath and speaks into the phone again. "Still here..we're trying..." He sighs. "I hope you know I wouldn't ask you if it wasn't urgent though..I know what it did to you last time.." (No actualy she didn't call, she dropped into the newspaper office, and promised to call later.) * Kaede frowns a little... "Tell me..." * Taki makes a valiant attempt to stand up straight and reach for her phone, but she's got a pair of large arms around her making this difficult, "Satoshi...could you?" "You're...you're right.." * Satoshi lets her go. "You want me to call her?" * Kaede puts his hand over the phone and shakes his head slightly. * Taki digs her phone out of a pocket, "...I don't know if I even have her number." * Satoshi sees Kaede's gesture and blinks. (If you go digging in the house, Chikako's number really wouldn't be hard to find. Katie's a pretty organized person; you can probably guess where she keeps phone numbers. ;P) ( In the phone book. ^^ ) (off hand I'd guess the adress book next to the phone in her room, but that's just my unenlightend opinion. ;P) * Kaede quirks his brow a little. "What do you know about the Heirophant? I know she brought Satoshi to you last time but..." If you don't, Katie probably has it around here somewhere. * Taki pages through all the phone numbers that Haruko gave her, and the few she added in herself, and then shakes her head, "not here." Well, let's go find Katie's address book, then. "You...huh. But she was there at the apartment..." * Taki nods and starts to walk slowly back to Katies room. "...So you don't know her at all..." "Look, Akemi...I'm sorry for bothering you...I didn't think...nevermind..." (Heh, if Taki could still hear him it'd be death glare time. ^^;) ( Taki can! We'll get her reaction next time! XD ) "...right. Thanks." "I'll be home as soon as I can." * Kaede nods and clicks. [Session End!]
