GM Unnamed Cat @Renee's Location As Renee started to walk back to her dorms, a black and white bellied Norwegian Forest cat ran across the busy streets. But ended up on the other side safely.

Daniel Parton Inventory: Unnamed Woman's Duffel Bag --- Things were slowing down finally. Wouldn't be long before the deli closed up shop. Everyone on hand was busy getting things cleaned so they would have less to do at the end of the day. Thankfully Daniel was not one of the ones closing. Going back to the duffel bag Daniel opened it up to see what was inside. Maybe there's an ID or something that could help identify who's this was.

Renee Miyume Renee saw the cat and she was surprised to see it cross the busy street and make it to safety. She sighed in relief that the cat was alright. She thought about leaving the cat and continuing on her way, but then she realized that maybe she should check and see if the cat had a collar. She reached the crosswalk waiting for when it was safe and the crosswalk light was green, before she crossed the road, heading towards the other sidewalk.

GM Item Update @Daniel Parton The duffel bag was opened, it revealed a work uniform for a tea shop a few blocks down the road. There is a wallet filled with 35 dollars (three tens, and one five,) and an ID card with the woman's information. Her name was Rachael Sandra. Her ID showed her light brown hair down to her shoulders, listed that she had hazel eyes, aged 25 years old. There is nothing else in the bag. Daniel has gained the following items: Female Tea Shop Work Uniform Rachael Sandra's Wallet (35 dollars and an ID)

GM Unnamed Cat @Renee's Location The cat had ran straight to a turned over garbage can in front of a building. The cat had no collar and was eating out of the scraps. It heard Renee coming, and paused to look at her.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Renee Miyume Seeing that there was no collar on the cat, Renee shook her head at herself. She thought silently to herself, thinking that she was just being silly. She turned back and started to continue her way back to the dorms.

Xander "Vega" Chaser Inventory: Backpack, School Supplies, Flandre Scarlet Fumo Plushie, Wallet, Phone, Earbuds --- Xander sighs sadly as he watches her run off, only too late did he realize his mistakes, which only further upset him. He took Flaked out of his backpack and cuddled with her as he walked along the street alone, a tear rolling down his right cheek. "This is why I have no friends.....I'm too much of a freak...if not....I look for an excuse to fight...if only Mother was here..." He said, hugging the plushie and cuddling with her before placing a kiss upon its head. He walked past a tea shop and a book store, further cuddling the plushie not really caring about anything. It was clear Xander was stressed out, he had messed up twice, he was clearly on the verge of breaking into tears again.

ARRAN WHITE After paying their bill and leaving the rapidly empting deli, Arran and Kyle split from the others and started walking home. “Urghh… I forgot to get the meat for dinner” Arran groaned, “Aunt Cass is going to kill me, I was supposed to be home early so as to cook.” She was partly mad she had forgotten but mostly she wanted to try and distract Kyle from her incident earlier; he hadn’t said anything in front of the others, but now they were alone there was going to be hell to pay. But instead of asking questions about earlier Kyle surprised her “You missed your appointment you know.” Arran blinked in surprise, “huh?” Kyle turned, walking backwards so as to be able to walk and talk, “You missed your appointment. Your very important appointment” Arran thought about it, “Very important appointment. Uhhhh…… what?” Kyle frowned; “You never told me; I set the alarm after checking your calendar, really; I was surprised that you even had something on there.” “You checked my calendar?” Arran grimaced, “why?” “You never remember anything, unless it’s music, so I thought it would be best to make sure I have an alarm for you as well. Only you had about three things on your calendar one of which was my birthday, one was mum’s, and the other unnamed.” Kyle spun back around so he was walking next to her. They walked for a little while; tuning a few corners, and hiking up and down hills, till they finally reached Kyle’s street. Wading through the overgrown grass that overlapped the path they climbed a set of worn concrete steps to a solid door with blue paint peeling to reveal a vibrant red, or maybe the red was peeling to show the blue, but really it didn’t matter, the majority of the door being blue.

Sophia Vollstandig The sudden turn of Renee's head alerted Sophia, and the girl bolted away after apologising that she had to hurry somewhere. Sophia raised her eyebrows to that, then shouted, "Bye!" to Renee, knowing the girl wouldn't hear her. Sighing, she walked to the counter, book in hand. After paying for the book, she checked the time on her blue digital watch. It wasn't really that late, but maybe it was for Renee. As Sophia pushed the book shop's front door open after waving to the cashier, she saw a boy around her age walking past, cuddling a familiar touhou character plushie, a tear rolling down his cheek. "Flandre..." She managed to whisper, recalling the name of the character.

[DiamondBlizzard]

Xander "Vega" Chaser Inventory: Backpack, School Supplies, Flandre Scarlet Fumo Plushie, Wallet, Phone, Earbuds --- Xander kept walking until he heard someone whisper the voice of his plushie. He wiped the tear off his cheek and turned around as to meet Sophia. "Yes.....d-do you know Touhou....?" He asked, his arms still wrapped around the plushie he cuddled with. Xander seemed hopeful as to find someone who knew about Flandre and most likely other Touhou characters, it was rare enough to find people ho knew about it, at least for him.

Maxwell got up from his seat. He had been waiting for a good while too long, as it was getting late. He walked back out to the vehicle, and got in the back. "What the hell just happened in there? It was like some sort of a teen drama unfolding right before my eyes!" He let out a simple sigh, cradling his head in his hand, agitated that he was unable to get even a water. "Jeeves, let's just go home already." Jeeves started the Limousine, heading for the Ryte family mansion.

[Sharyxe]

Sophia Vollstandig The boy suddenly turned to face her, which made Sophia raise her eyebrows, quite surprised. She didn't think that the boy would hear her. The boy wiped off his tear, then asked her about touhou. "Uhm. Oh yes, I do know of it. Well, I have not played the game however, but I have read some manga chapters, though that was some years ago, so I might not remember much of the story. I do know of some of the characters. Well, I'm pretty sure you're quite a fan, huh?" Sophia replied with a sheepish smile. She didn't quite know how to act in front of the boy, in contrast to when she faced Renee. Back then she was too excited about the book to care of she she did, but mostly she was like this, shy, in front of new people.

Daniel Parton Inventory: Female Tea Shop Work Uniform, Rachael Sandra's Wallet (35 dollars and an ID) The uniform in the bag was familiar. Daniel had visited the tea shop before even if it had been a while. Putting everything back in the bag the boy would leave it here at the office until tomorrow. As he recalled the tea shop closed around the same time the deli did. He worked in the evening so he would have ample time to get it to the tea shop. His shift was done so he ordered something for dinner in the last couple of minutes and waited for his ride. Timing it pretty well he got his food just a minute before his ride arrived. Saying goodbye to his coworkers Daniel headed to the car and was on his way home.

ARRAN WHITE Flopping down at the computer desk, Arran logged into her account on the old, second-hand E-Mac, flicking over to her email and receiving ten new emails from her brother since yesterday, totaling in almost fifty unread emails from him. Slumping down in her chair, she logged out and stared at the login page, not really seeing it, thinking about the day; worse than usual, but in the scale of things not too disastrous, just not so good. The hoodie; that was something Arran couldn’t fathom, why had she been given the hoodie, and surely the girl hadn’t just forgotten the drug; it didn’t seem to be the sort of thing you just forgot was in the sleeve of your hoodie when handing it over to a stranger. After getting home she had looked herself in the bathroom as soon as she could, and worked the syringe out of the sleeve from the inside, pulling it out and looking for markings, finding none, but considering the poor lighting in the bathroom, that wasn’t surprising. Now it was tucked safely back in the sleeve of the hoodie, which in turn was tucked in one of her two draws in the boy’s room, somewhere the others were forbidden to access; a rule that was reinforced by an old padlock to which only she had the key. Arran hadn’t told Kyle about the drug, that wasn’t the sort of thing she just told people about, especially Kyle, who couldn’t keep silent if he thought others needed to know, and that ment telling Aunt Cass, the last person in the world Arran wanted to upset. No it was better she didn’t mention it to anybody.

Xander "Vega" Chaser Inventory: Backpack, School Supplies, Flandre Scarlet Fumo Plushie, Wallet, Phone, Earbuds --- "Oh, you should try out the games, they're amazing." He said, holding Flandre in his arms as he looked at her. "What's your name? I'm Xander...." He asked. Xander's eyes looked away from the girl and up to the sun, it was clearly getting late, and he would have to get going soon enough. His eyes looked back down towards the girl and awaited her response. Though as the sun was going down, it was clear there was a slight change in his attitude, he was more vigilant of his surroundings, little things such as the rustling of bushes made his head turn; after all, can't be too careful.

Daniel Parton Inventory: Rachael Sandra's Duffel Bag, Rachael Sandra's Tea Shop Work Uniform, Rachael Sandra's Wallet (35 dollars and an ID) --- In the way home he debated telling his mother about the weird events at work today. It might make his mother worry though so he dropped the idea. Glad that the drive home was a short one Daniel headed indoors. His sisters were already getting ready for bed, having to go to school the next morning. That was one thing the boy missed and didn't at the same time. Learning was always fun, even if the subject was less than thrilling. The other side of the coin was the homework and having to sit in lectures. That was rarely much fun. That was bound to come back though whenever he started college though. In the mean time he should enjoy the freedom he had. Also per usual his dad was asleep already. Work being so far off require him to get up before the crack of dawn which in turn meant an early bedtime. Working evenings himself, Daniel tended to miss most of the happenings of the day. Being hungry he headed to the kitchen which usually contained leftovers. Digging around in the fridge brought forth yesterdays meatloaf. Not much caring having had it two days in a row he threw some on a plate along with some green beans and corn. A short heat in the microwave and a drink on the side Daniel took his meal upstairs to his room. Ah, now no one would bother him. That was the other advantage to working in the evening. By the end of the day everyone else was too tired to bug him much, with exception to his day to do chores. And staying up late playing games and killing time wasn't a bother because he didn't have to get up early either. Watching videos on Youtube while eating he ran through his mind the events that transpired. Slightly hard to believe it happened even having watched it with his own eyes. On top of seeing what appeared to be a drugged woman that kicked him away, there was the boy who walked out without paying flipping over and kicking the aforementioned away. How would own even explain that brief moment in time. Shaking his head and sighing he finished eating and went to playing a game. Tomorrow could be an interesting day as well. Maybe not quite as crazy but he had the bag to return. The reaction to such a thing could vary.

[Sharyxe]

"Oh. Well I'm Sophia, nice to meet you. Also, I might try the games..." Sophia answered Xander. She noticed him looking up to the sun that was illuminating the place with an orange glow, indicating that it was setting. It must be pretty late for him. And for her too. "Do you have to go now?" She questioned him, tilting her head to the side. It was a habit that she do that when not sure of something.

[DiamondBlizzard]

Xander "Vega" Chaser Inventory: Backpack, School Supplies, Flandre Scarlet Fumo Plushie, Wallet, Phone, Earbuds --- "Not really, do you...erm...wish to talk a bit more or something..?" He asks, a bit unsure of what to say. He kept Flandre tucked in his left arm, his eyes squinting as the sunset blinded him slightly, though he continued to look at Sophia. He was vigilant but also calm at this point.

[Sharyxe]

"Uhm. Well, I don't really have much to say... But I'm willing to listen if you want to say something?" She asked, straightening her neck. Sophia saw that he was squinting as he looked at her, as the sunrays are shining from behind her. "Oh, uhm, sorry for the sunlight," she said, then walked to his side.
