take 05. [action]

[enemyradar]

[Rise was...off lately. There had been so much going on lately that her mind felt a bit muddled. Of course, Mayfield was stressful by default, so, with that thought in mind, she decided to keep her head up. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, after all, right?]

A. Action- Mayfield High; Open

[Not really wanting to eat entirely alone,

Comments

B. Action

[meat_gum_and_me]

[Chie suppressed a giggle as she spotted Rise ahead of her, tripping over thin air. She broke into a jog to catch up, calling her name.]

Yo, Rise! I thought idols were too perfect to trip. [She lightly pokes her in the ribs, laughing.]

B. Action

[enemyradar]

H-Huh?

[Oh no. Someone saw. Though, when she realizes it's someone she knows, she feels better and worse. In all honesty, she really can't help but chuckle a little.]

Oh, Chie-senpai! It was just a little stumble.

[Quickly changing subjects...]

Anyways, it's been a while. Um, how have you been adjusting?

[meat_gum_and_me]

[She chuckles at Rise's obvious attempt to segue the conversation to something less embarrassing, but obliges.]

Actually, I'm doing pretty well. I almost know where things are around town now! ...Well, in my neighborhood at least.

Not that this place is big enough to get lost in anyway.

[enemyradar]

[She giggles.] Yeah, it's pretty small. But I could show you around sometime, if you want.

What about the monsters, though? Did you do okay? I just used Kanzeon to figure out where was safe.

A - Action

[hontobakabaka]

[Ruri stops by the table with her lunch and blinks]

.....Is this spot open?

[enemyradar]

[Rise smiles and nods.]

Yep, all yours!

[hontobakabaka]

[She sits down and nods]

I don't usually see you sitting here by yourself.

[enemyradar]

[Her smile is a bit embarrassed.]

Yeah, you're right. I just couldn't...think of who to sit with today, is all.

[Maybe that sounds okay.]

A!

[child_of_argo]

[Kara just loves being the new kid in town. She hangs back from the general crush of people, hemming and hawwing until she spots someone else all by herself, someone who isn't displaying the typical drone markers. She drops herself in the seat across from Rise, offering a smile.]

Hi, hope you don't mind? I'm Kara.

[enemyradar]

[Rise smiles in return.]

Nope, it's totally fine. Nice to meet you. I'm Rise!

[child_of_argo]

Nice to meet you too! Especially nice to meet a fellow normal around here, eesh.

B

[partysense]

Me, too! Me, too!

[Pinkie intentionally trips. once she hits the ground, she stays there, giggling.]

[enemyradar]

[Despite the slight embarrassment, Rise can't help but giggle a bit. She's a sucker for cute and how adorable is this?]

Having fun?

[partysense]

Yes! Aren't you?

[enemyradar]

Well, I am now!

A

[fanassaults]

[ FROM ACROSS A CROWDED ROOM...she knows those twintails! Yukiko's pretty surprised when she sees her, coming up across the cafeteria. ]

Rise-chan...?

[enemyradar]

Hm?

[Rise's just as surprised and she looks at Yukiko so quickly that her neck hurts a bit afterwards. Oops.]

Yukiko-senpai? You're back?

[fanassaults]

Back? Um, I guess so...I didn't know that I was here before.

[ But, her favourite idol! A smile slowly spreads across her face, hands clasped behind her back to resist the urge to do something drastic. Like hug. ]

They told me you were here, but I hadn't seen you until just now!

[enemyradar]

[Oh, she doesn't remember, then. Rise decides to drop that subject. She smiles brightly.]

I'm sorry I didn't get to see you sooner! How long have you been here?
