Second Thread ✂ [Action]

[spazalot]

[Anyone who's currently at the park in the Metropolis District might notice a girl all dressed up in fashionable winter wear carting around a pig cat plushie in her arms. She had been walking around for quite some time now, looking for a place for her to see if her psych was still working. It was a bonus for her that there won't be any staring if

[Is stopping and staring okay? Because that's what the young Rion will do, all wide-eyed. Because that is basically the coolest thing ever.]

[spazalot]

[Totally okay! Since Rion hasn't approached her yet, Shiki will just keep on testing Mr. Mew. She scoops a handful of snow, rolling it tightly into a ball. When she was done, Shiki nods to the plushie.]

Ready?

[Mr. Mew salutes to her in response, jumping down from the bench and landing on the pathway again. Shiki snaps her fingers and now the plushie was sporting claws.]

GO!

[Here comes the wind up and the pitch! Shiki then made a swift movement with her other arm, making the plush cat airborne. He sliced through the snowball with ease. However, that didn't seem to satisfy the girl yet. Shiki rolled another snowball and threw that one in the opposite direction to where Mr. Mew was.]

Again!

[SMASH! Bye bye snowball # 2]

[derped]

[In a display of being both awkward and easily amused, Rion claps delightedly. At this point he's convinced that Shiki is some sort of amazing puppeteer or something, but there's no strings -- maybe it's magic.

Whatever it is, it's the coolest magic he's ever seen. (Okay, maybe not, but it's on someone way more relateable than a scary witch.)]

[spazalot]

[jskgdkjad The clapping was totally unexpected and it made her lose concentration. Mr. Mew's descent from the air was a little shaky than Shiki would have like. Once the plush was firmly in her arms, she turns around to the new arrival and said.]

P-please don't scare me like that!!

[derped]

[Rion immediately frowns and looks away, not really feeling comfortable already. He hadn't meant to scare her or anything, he thought it was just really cool.

It's notable that when he speaks, it's not out loud; his lips don't ever move, but instead he talks through the seal, in her head.]

I didn't mean to scare you.

[spazalot]

[Blink. Blink. Huh, this was like when she and Neku talked through their Player Pins whenever they're engaged in Noise Battles.]

Ah, no... it's okay.

[A beat and then]

Uh, have a name? My name's Shiki Misaki. Nice to meet you~

[derped]

Rion Lyon. It's nice to meet you too.

[Still flushing a little bit, though he'll come closer. She doesn't seem that bad or anything, and Mr. Mew is really neat and he'd kind of like to... touch him or something.

Aaaa, how is social interaction supposed to work?]

[spazalot]

Rion. [Nods.] Okay~!

[She does notice his unease. Hmmmn, figuring out a way for not to make this anymore awkward for the poor boy.

... He does seem to like what she could do Mr. Mew.]

Sooo, you saw everything we could do, huh?
