[h2]Saten Ruiko[/h2]

Smiling pleasantly, Ruiko waved her hand. While she did spend a lot of time in the Branch Office, she was hardly a member of Judgement. It was just because she had friends there. Sure, she helped out where she could, but the black-haired girl wasn't exactly any kind of official. Still, she was feeling rather mischevious at the moment, and as a result couldn't help but color her answer in a way that might embarrass Uiharu. Because, to be frank, that was always kind of fun.

"No no, I'm not a member of Judgement," she replied, still waving her hand. "I'm just here to take care of Uiharu!"

I was just about then that Mikoto and Kuroko showed up. Leaning a little to peer past the new person, Ruiko titled her head a little to the side as she greeted them. "Oh, hi, Misaka-san, Shirai-san!"

[h2]Misaka Mikoto[/h2]

Of course Kuroko was going to give this lecture... she hadn't planned on going overboard like that! Those guys had just really ticked her off, she couldn't help it! Seriously, how many idiots were going to go preying on anyone who went into an alley by themselves... It wasn't like Mikoto could just sit there and wait. So... it was just an accident that she had knocked out the street lights, right? She hadn't meant to! At least the trip to the Judgement Branch Office was pretty uneventful... Even if the Third-Ranked Level Five could hear the honking and complaints off in the distance almost the whole way there.

When they arrived, Mikoto was surprised to see a lack of Konori Mii, and the appearance of a new girl. Saten was, of course, a common sight in the Office, and Uiharu naturally worked there... So this new girl must have needed something from Judgement. From experience, this really could have been anything. "Oh, hi."
