Rebel 3 [Action!]

[not_meatbuns]

[It's late at night, and Litchi is out and about. Now that she's done with her work for the day, more or less out of habit, she's out searching the village. It's probably stupid to be out looking for someone who's probably not even in Luceti -- especially someone she's bound to have caught wind of by now -- but old habits die hard. Besides, if he is out there, the village needs protecting.

So here she is, slowly making her way around all of the village, shivering lightly despite her coat, armed with her bo staff just in case. The cold is something of an afterthought. She'll probably regret it later, but she'd rather be chilly for a while and know for sure rather than keep wondering.

Deep down, she's almost hoping not to find anything.]

[[ooc: She'll be pretty much everywhere at some point or another, so feel free to run into her if you want~]]

[Goroh has been hanging out on the bridge near the clinic, rather than out by the housing as he usually does. He's enjoying the cold night air for the most part, slowly using up what little remains of the cigarette hanging from his mouth. He's a preoccupied by staring down at the icy river beneath him.]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi spares only the shortest disapproving glance on behalf of the cigarette before she clears her throat gently. Startling Goroh isn't very high on her list of priorities.]

You're out late.

[hageshii]

Eh? [He's still leaning on the bridge railing and only turns enough to see who it is.] Yeah, guess I am. The night life sticks with you, even when there's none to be had.

[not_meatbuns]

I'd have to agree. It's a little strange not having all the city lights blazing all night.

[She gives him a small smile.] I'm not intruding, am I?

[hageshii]

[He's quiet for a moment as he peers down at the water again. He tosses his cigarette away and turns, resting against the rails.]

Ain't nothing to intrude on. So what about you? I didn't think they made the doctors here work so late.

[not_meatbuns]

Oh, I thought I'd just... take a look around, is all. [Litchi is a terrible liar. Absolutely horrible. This is why she's trying to tell a half-truth.] There's been a bit too much on my mind lately.

[hageshii]

Well I hope it ain't hair styles. [He can pick up on the fact there's something more there, but he's not the type to pry. At least not right away.]

[not_meatbuns]

[She sighs.] You're never going to let me live that down, are you? I don't even remember that...

[Frederic sat on a small bench outside of the Welcome Center, a soft sigh escaping his lips. Despite shivering a little and knowing the night air was bad for him, he needed some time alone to think.]

[ action ]

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi doesn't notice him until she's practically right in front of him, preoccupied as she is with her own thoughts. But once she does notice, she immediately recognizes the he looks a little frail.]

Excuse me, are you alright?

[ action ]

[harmonicmelodia.livejournal.com]

[Frederic's eyes look up at Litchi as his lips curl into a soft smile.]

Yes Miss, I'm all right. The cold air and myself haven't exactly been on good terms, so this is normal.

[startwithabang.livejournal.com]

[And here Bang comes, landing on a nearby rooftop!]

M-Miss Litchi! It is good to see you, but... are you sure you should be out so late? [Sh-she must have come out just to try and find him because she knows he patrols around the clock! Miss Litchi, he knows he hasn't seen you in a while, and that your clinic duties takes up your time a bit but... there's no need to do such thing right after work!]

[not_meatbuns]

[You'd think she'd be used to ninja shenanigans, living so close to Ronin-gai, but she still jumps a little when she suddenly hears Bang. She doesn't think to look up to the rooftop until she's already looked all around her.]

Mr. Shishigami... [Soft sigh. She gives him a small smile in answer.] Thank you, but I'll be alright. I just... needed to look for something.

[startwithabang.livejournal.com]

Ah. Well if that's all, I have no problem in helping you find what it is that you are looking for, Miss Litchi! It may be a possibility that I have already seen it! [Confident laugh goes har. Ooooh she's gonna be so impressed if he's seen it.]

Please! Tell me what it looks like.

[not_meatbuns]

[Litchi pauses for a moment, trying to decide if she should try getting Bang's help. He's bound to be easier to describe Arakune to, since he may have seen him back home... but on the other hand, how to ask?]

It's alright, really. I don't want to be a bother...

[startwithabang.livejournal.com]

[Aww she's so cuuute!]

N-not at all, Miss Litchi! You could never be a bother!

[not_meatbuns]

If you're sure... I really appreciate the help.

Have you happened to see a -- [Oh god, she's gonna have to use Tao's wording. It's bound to resonate best with Bang. Some scientist/doctor she is.] -- black... squiggly... thing anywhere? It's about as tall as a man, wearing a mask?

[startwithabang.livejournal.com]

A black.... squiggly thing? [Why would.. huuuuh!? Out of all the things she could possibly be looking for]

I don't think so, Miss Litchi. Is it something of vast importance?

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

-Like Bang, Kasumi makes regular patrols for information gathering. However, her greeting is much less robust. She gives a bow to Litchi upon coming across her.-

[not_meatbuns]

[Well, there's a greeting she hasn't really gotten since leaving Orient Town. Litchi returns the bow.]

I don't think I've met you before, have I?

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

I can't say we have, but now is as good a time as any, heh...

-Kasumi smiles gently.- My name is Kasumi. Are you a new feather?

[not_meatbuns]

I'm Litchi. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[She gives a soft chuckle.] I feel like I've only just gotten here, but it's been about a month.

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

Hmm, well, you're still SORT of a new feather then. Newish.

[not_meatbuns]

Yes, that would be a good way to describe it. New enough that I'm still learning my way around, at least.

[chikyu-sakura.livejournal.com]

I've been here several months myself and still feel there is much to learn.
