~Ring, ring goes the bell...

[lighteningqueen]

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNG

The afternoon bell cuts short and the volume of students voices rises, feet and chairs clattering as they children rise. Lockers bang as they're closed, girls laughing and gossiping behind their hands, boys boasting and shouting plans to each other. Jun lets the crowd carry her, through the doors to the outside

Kino Makoto is not amused at finding herself at school when she wasn't at school a moment ago. That goes double when this isn't even her school. She grumbles to herself.

"Now what?"

[lighteningqueen]

Jun glances up, blinking in surprise at Makoto. Almost instantly she shifts, her sitting becoming more ladylike. But...

"... Makoto-sensei?" she frowns. But she looks younger... like she does in those photos.

[zig_zag_slash]

"Sensei?" Makoto echoes. She peers a bit closer at Jun. Nope, not even a glimmer of recognition. Something doesn't feel quite right about someone seeming to know her when she doesn't know them, and she scowls slightly with the unpleasant confusion.

"Who are you?"

[lighteningqueen]

"Nexus." Jun guesses out loud, putting her sketchbook to the side before standing.

Polite bow and warm smile. "Kujaku Jun. I'm... special," she grins, hoping Makoto will catch on.

Being an idol has some perks, Rei's had to admit to herself despite her initial hesitation to take that path, and one of them includes private tutoring. After all, it's hard to attend school regularly when you have to travel so often for recording sessions, concerts, and other such things. That means, when she finds herself in the halls of a school, students rushing here and there around her, she's understandably confused.

Her first course of action? Put on her sunglasses and try to find a deserted area. Being recognized here- she'd be mobbed.

[lighteningqueen]

A quick glance up, a slight smile before Jun glances back to her sketch pad. "Hey Ana-chan. Miai-chan's still not here. She probably got lost or something, knowing her." She laughs at herself, the words only meant as teasing.

Isn't identity a tricky thing...

[hinosong]

The voice startles her, especially the familiarity with which it uses, and she turns to see a very... colorful... girl sitting on a nearby wall. Rei gives the girl a confused stare, not that she can see it behind her sunglasses, then shakes her head.

"You've mistaken me for someone else."

[lighteningqueen]

"Huh?" Finally Jun looks up long enough to see Rei properly, blinking when she sees the confidence in the girl's stance. "Oh. Whoops."

"Sorry," she says, smiling sheepishly, "You look a bit like a friend of mine. Sorry."

[notinuniform]

"What a nostalgic sight." Her shoes scuff against the steps, and Kino Makoto pauses next to Jun in order to cross her arms and stare off into the distance, like she can see every detail of the castle from there. Maybe she can.

She glances down at Jun and her scribbling before shrugging loosely and starting down the steps again. She's never been in a Tokyo like this before. It might pay off to explore.

[lighteningqueen]

Jun glances up and- oh. It's her mentor, her idol. Again. But... which one is this? Is this her actual sensei and not someone tainted by the dark energy, or someone who fled at the name of Neo-Queen Serenity. "Makoto-se... -san?"

Jun stands, and grabbing her things runs after Makoto. If and when the other girls show up, they'll understand. They'd do the same.

[notinuniform]

Oh, she carries a minor taint of the dark energy, from a long time ago, but you'd be hard-pressed to sense it these days. The main differences Jun should spot on this one are the fact that, well. She's maybe half a foot taller than the other Jupiters running around, and she has several scars creeping up her neck from under her shirt.

When she's called by Jun, she stops and turns her head, lifting an eyebrow. "Can I help you?" She's not entirely sure she knows someone with hair like that. Or piercings like that. God, that's a lot of piercings. And those tattoos... Hn. No, definitely not someone she knows.

[lighteningqueen]

The height means nothing to her, she's used to the towering height of her mentor. But. Those scars... "What happened?" Jun asks, eyes fixed pointedly on Jupiter's neck.

Her expression barely changes when she hears Makoto's words. Huh. So it's an alternate. Again. Is it honestly too much to ask that my Makoto-sensei turn up? Jun's the posterchild for why kids shouldn't be given needles. Or hairdye. Or anything really. And a few of those tattoos are just drawn on with textas.
