---

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
School is out and The Hero Club isn't meeting tonight. That means Fu has some time to herself. Itsuki is off visting friends meaning that the Hero-club President has an afternoon to herself. So what is a person to do when they actually have an evening to themselves? Dinner!

For Fu Inubouzaki that means Udon! So happily she wonders off from Seiyou and makes her way to her favorite place for the delicious soup. Its a rather quiet trip thankfully. No vertexes or youma to contend with. Just a nice, peaceful afternoon.

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    Apparently having caught wind that Chloe has never had Udon, Shizuka and Mizuki have dragged their friend out of school to an Udon shoppe. Thankfully, School had already let out, or else they'd all be in trouble. Thankfully, Chloe figured that if she didn't like it, she could pawn it off to someone else......

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
With dad and stepmom busy, and grandma sick; Hoshi got stuck with option C, her nanny. Ran Kouno is a college student who makes most of her money playing surrogate parent to Hoshi. When they come in, Hoshi immediately notices Fu and tugs gently on Ran's sleeve. "Ran-chan, there's a friend I made during the big storm over there. Mind if I go say hi to her?"

The response is a casual, "Of course, Ouji-chan." The juxtaposition shows a bit of a laid back attitude Ran has to the job, "I'll be sitting nearby if you need me." And, albeit unsaid, to keep an eye on her if necessary."

Hoshi quickly walks towards Fu and bows softlt, "Inubouzaki-san. I hope you remember me? We met during that weird storm." One of her stars pops into existence next to her head, a five-pointed yellow thing with a smiley face. It's holding a tray full of teacups, a big part of Hoshi's role then.

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu is already working on her first bowl of the delicious soup. She hasn't met Chloe yet but she does remember Hoshi. When Hoshi approaches her, she simply bows politely, "Hello Kogane-san. It's been a while. How are you doing?" She asks politely. "Have a seat! Its kinda strange to not have a small crowd around while I'm here. The hero club frequents this place.

Her attention shifts to the strange accent in the room. She gives a little wave to the Chloe and company. "Hiya! Try the Udon! Its delicious and its fortified with Girl Power!" She practically cheers that.

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    Chloe stops at being addressed by Fu when she gets there. "It certainly does smell good. Is it made with real girls?" And she's whapped by one of her friends. "CHLOE! You're not supposed to be saying things like that!" Shizuka says. "What was I supposed to say Shizuka!? That I knew I was going to like it?" Chloe says as she takes a seat on one of the chairs. "One bowl of Udon for our friend." Mizuki says cheerfully.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
While Hoshi hangs out with Fu, Ran goes off to her own table and orders food, making sure to be aware of what is roughly going on with Hoshi without intruding. Hoshi smiles at Fu, "I've been doing well, for the most part. Thank you. How have you been?"

Hoshi giggles a little at Chloe's joke, and then tells Shizuka off, "And you're not supposed to be hitting your 'friends' over saying something that is obviously a joke." She sounds stern, folding her arms even. The little girl clearly expects to be taken seriously on this. Another yellow star pops into the air, this one standing behind a lectern and pointing at Shizuka sternly.

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki laughs a little as POOF! A blue and white doglike fairy appears by Fu. It doesn't make a sound. It just moves over to examine the star. Fu just watches the two interest. "I've been alright. Just sorta enjoying the quiet. Haven't had much chaos to deal with. So I've just been doing what I always do, Working with the Hero Club, visiting the elementary school to put on shows for the kids, helping the community. You know? Hero Club stuff.

Then there is that comment about girls in the udon, "Only ones who fail entrance exams." She states with a wink. "Really though its my favorite food!" She finishes her bowl and motions for another.

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    Chloe happens to be looking at Hoshi's star too, but Shizuka tries to see what Chloe's looking at. "Chloe seems to make puns like that all the time, but some of my friends on the cheerleading squad think she's weird." Chloe looks at Shizuka. "That's because most of the squad are the popular girls, Shizuka. but I'm glad you liked the joke." She says softly as they all order Udon.

When the doglike fairy appears, Chloe is looking at that too, but Shizuka's trying to see what Chloe sees. 'What're you looking at Chloe?' "Stars. They look lovely don't they?" 'Yeah, the stars in the sky are pretty." The ones in the sky aren't what she meant, but well.....if Shizuka doesn't get it....welllll...."

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
    Hoshi looks at the little fairy too, and notices Chloe stare while Shizuka misses it entirely. She hooks into Shizuka's statement in a little bit of a geeky way. "I'm in Seishou's astronomy club. There's so much cool stuff to see if you point a telescope at the sky at night!"

This might explain why the little blond's backpack is black with a big yellow star on it. It might also explain why she's surrounded by invisible magic stars. One of which tries to nestle in Shizuka's hair, pointing a telescope at Fu's fairie. "And that's really quite cool, Inubouzaki-san."

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Where most fairies actually do stuff, This blue and white one does. It mostly just floats around. The only time he is really active is when she is fighting and that is mostly to keep her alive. Still that doesn't make him less cute.

Fu gives a smile and nods, "Oh yeah. Things are going well.

Fu starts in on her next bowl of udon. They already had one ready for her. Apparently they KNOW her. "So how about you Hoshi? How have you been? I see you still have your friends with you so thats cool!"

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    Shizuka is the type to have really long hair, so it's easy to drown in that hair. However, Chloe gently brushes at Shizuka's hair, like she was getting something out of it.....and when Shizuka turns away to get her Udon bowl, Chloe sets the star on her shoulder gently before going for her bowl. "Yeah, I like looking at the stars sometimes. Usually when things aren't going to great for me....and pretend I'm not here. haven't had to do that lately though." Chloe says as she starts to eat. Shizuka, by now, isn't paying attention, as she and Mizuki have moved off to another table. "Good thing I got your star back, ma'am." She says to Hoshi.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"I helped save the world, I think that's pretty good?" Hoshi neglects to mention the part where she died, she got better so it doesn't feel right to bring it up. "There's a few more of us now, which makes things easier, but... since there's this tendency for us to get new allies right when we need them it also worried me about what might be to come." Vague terms abound, Hoshi can't really hide that she's magical, but she can dance around specifics.

"Oh and we joined an organization called Virtue." She smiles, apparently she thinks that's a good thing, and then she smiles up at Chloe, "It's just a magical construct, it'd poof out of existence if she took it too far I think. I can sorta control them if I concentrate, but mostly they're just spontaneous."

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki Smiles and nods, She pulls out her smart phone. Quickly she clears the fact that she's been reading up on her powers, and so on. She pulls up her contact group and then turns it to show Hoshi. The contact group in question? Virtue. It seems she's a member.

She turns her attention over to Chloe and she gives her a smile, "Hello! My name's Fu Inubouzaki. I'm the president of the Seiyou Hero Club. Its nice to meet you!" She smiles and then dives into the bowl of the udon, quickly finishing it. Her hand raises again and another bowl is brought out!

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    "I go to Seiyou too, and I've heard of the hero club. I'm Chloe Stingray, from america. It's nice to meet you as well." She smiles to Hoshi. "You don't need to control them...they're funnier the way they are." She says softly. "Shizuka and Mizuki mean well and they try to be good friends, but they're.....they can't see..." And she points to Hoshi's star.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"Oh, you're with virtue too, Inubouzaki-san? That's nice." She smiles, and finally some udon arrives for her. It's a smaller bowl, but it's filled with delicious goodiness regardless. "They're funny sure, Chloe-san, but sometimes they can be really annoying. You don't have to deal with them being everywhere all the time." She doesn't sound like she minds, though.

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki smiles and nods, "Umm Well, yeah they can. But they can be great help too. For instance, Inugami does listen to me and will follow my orders. He is always really serious but when its time, to fight and stuff, You couldn't ask for a better companion. He's saved my life before." She smiles and skritches the blue and white dogfairy.

Once more into the broth! She goes to work on it. "Oh yeah, I'm in Virtue. I just am often really tied up with School and the Taisha. Its amazing how often they ask about what I do with the money they send me."

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    "I've.....never heard of Virtue, I fear. I'm...." Chloe scratches the back of her head as she takes a bite of her Udon. "...hey, this is good..." She says with a chuckle. ".....I'm kinda....new at this. I'm surprised I can see some of the things I do." She says pointing to the star.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"It's a group of people who help eachother help protect people." Hoshi summarizes Virtue quickly, albeit vaguely. She consumes her udon slowly, perhaps at a rate that Fu would find inconceivable. "My starpals aren't like... familiars, though. They're just magic given form." Her own magic, specifically. "The magic is useful, but they're not the same."

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki nods slowly as she finishes off yet another bowl. Round four is brought out for her. She smiles a little "My fairy is from the Jukai. They protect the heroes of the Shinju-sama and aid them in fighting the enemies who would seek to destroy the world."

She smiles a little as she continues eating the stuff. "I enjoy hanging out and stuff though I should probably finish up and get home here soon. I've got a few things that I need to do tonight sadly."

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    "I actually wanted to see how much of that hollow leg you'd fill up before you said you were full, Fu." Chloe says with a laugh." She's listening more intently to Hoshi though. "That's......something I would like to do. Some of the things I went through, I don't want others to go through. To not want to be inside of their body, to wanting so desparately to have a friend that would be there for you when you needed her....your rock.....stuff like that." She then smiles to Hoshi. "you get what I mean, right?"

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki smiles and finishes off her fourth bowl of udon. She's not full. But she does need to get going. "If you want to join up with Virtue, I am sure I could help you out with that. I can get in contact with the people who are in charge. I'm just a club president. Not really anyone in the thing." She smiles and quickly pays the people.

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    "I know, but like I said, I'm new at this." Chloe says softly. "I have made a couple of friends, but I haven't really faced any youma. Just two so far." She then shrugs. "So, I don't even have a cool name...other than my own."

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki laughs, "Chloe, was it?" She steps closer to the girl and just smiles, "Being a hero is not about the number of enemies you've fought, or cool names, or even how awesome you look when you are fighting things. Being a hero is about using all of your abilities to help those. Oh and please, don't put so much weight in names. When I fight I'm Yusha Fu. Literally, its just my title. I'm still Fu and No matter the amount of power, or the cool outfit, or anything, its still me underneath. You believe you're a hero and you do have a big heart... then that makes you the type of person I wouldn't mind working with.'

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    Chloe shakes her head. "When I change, I'm still Chloe....I don't have a special name at all. And I'm not a hero, or I don't believe myself to be. I'm just a normal person, that seems to have the ability to protect people.....so I do." She then smiles. "However, I'm still happy to help people, if I'm able." She then ponders. "You mind if I call you from time to time? Or even when my device detects something?"

Fu Inubouzaki has posed:
Fu Inubouzaki smiles and nods, "Of course! Well listen, I should probably get going. My sister will likely be coming home soon so I should probably get home and start on dinner." Yes she just ate. No she isn't joking. "Oh and you are what you choose to be." She smiles and starts moving toward the door.

Chloe Stingray has posed:
    After exchanging numbers with Fu, Chloe waves to Fu as she heads out. "Be safe, Fu. Give me a call if you need me, or even help."
