So after the whole incident with the Plane, the onsen, and then the Tarot card that she had ended up placing in her schoolbag for safekeeping, she was sitting on a bench in the Gekkoukan High courtyard, eating a storebought bento she had gotten that morning -- she decided she wouldn't push her luck with all of her focus being spread out across these strange events.
So she was rather surprised at how calm she was when she realized the figure soaring about above was going too fast and was too small to be an airplane or even a helicopter. Especially once it dropped something that looked like...a plate of noodles? In fact the only betrayal of her shock seemed to be her dumbfounded blinking and the chopsticks frozen above her lunchbox, the rice slipping slowly out of it.

That was weirder than even he was used to. And his spaghetti was speeding towards her.
Booster dipped down further, trying to speed up to the noodles, all the while ignoring Skeets' commentary. Yes, he knew there was a civilian, but why was Skeets so calm about it? Even robots would be surprised by this. Or if they wouldn't, they should be. It was close, but the spaghetti landed with an unpleasant, wet slap on his plate, flicking some of the red sauce onto her face.
"Oh man, I'm so sorry," Booster started to apologize right away, "Oh wait, you probably can't understand me. Uhhh, no speak-e--no wait, parl-o, Italiano."
"Sir, I think you mean 'Non parlo italiano.'"Yeah, that's it. Never studied Italian ( ... )

From the casual and almost dull chatter of the other students around her, apparently not.
...Did this have anything to do with the strange buzz in her head whenever it was quiet? She certainly didn't hear it now, but...
Then, she heard the man -- who looked an awful lot like one of those American superhero characters -- start speaking to her in Italian, or what apparently was supposed to be Italian.
"...S-Sir...I, um...I'm Japanese. I don't speak Italian, so don't worry about that."
She noticed him looking around, and she presumed that the man was nervous about all the other students around who ostensibly couldn't see him. "Somehow, I don't think they can see you, so..."

That was what was weird. She understood him anyways, despite definitely speaking fake-Italian and English.
"Wait, you can understand me? I guess you speak English, but---No, wait, what are you doing in Italy in the 15th century? I don't think you're supposed to be here..."
Booster tapped at his wrist at one of his sensors and communicators, but Skeets vocalized what he had been searching for first.
"She doesn't seem to be out of place, actually. We should report this to Ri--" Skeets started, but Booster stopped him. It was one of his moments of realization and seeing as there were monks coming out of the carved eaves to chase him away, he had just an idea of what could be wrong here. A ( ... )

Booster plummeted to the ground to catch the plate. The ground was getting closer and closer and he reached out to catch the plate and the pasta---
But it just missed his fingertips, and the pasta landed right on her head.
Oh, shit.
"Crapcrapcrapcrap--Skeets, translate 'I'm really sorry, I was never here', something like that! Before she screams and wakes up the monk--hey wait those clothes are pretty modern..."
Skeets, however, didn't wait for Booster to finish that thought, and instead rattled off, "Sono realmente spiacente, io non ero mai qui."

However, the rather familiar individual made her pause for a moment. How could he be here? This was something to investigate, for sure. And the strange voice telling her something intelligible didn't help either. What was going on here?
One of the waitstaff of the cafe stood awkwardly to the side, holding a towel that she obviously wanted to bring over. Reiko wave the meek girl over, taking it and murmuring a quiet thank you to her.
"I'm not sure how this works, but you had better have a good explanation for how you are here," she snapped, as she attempted to clean the pasta off her head.

He had to pause a moment, seeing as she magically procured a towel, but continued as if nothing were wrong, "How I'm here? Hey, you're good looking and all, but I'm pretty sure we haven't met before. If you want to get better acquainted, though..."
With his standard, stupid grin, it made it painfully obvious that he didn't recognize her at all (understandably) and was completely ready to hit on her. Again.
