---

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
The sleep that came when Shinobu got into her dorm last night was restless. It was more of a pass out then a sound sleep. As the booze wore off the pain that she had so well hidden throughout the party began to ring true once again. Thankfully she is healing but she's not there yet.

The alarm resounds echoing throughout the dorm. Shinobu awakens with a loud groan. She hits the the alarm hard enough that it would break if it were lesser quality. She gets up and whines in pain. Her head is pounding and the fact that the ice was so hard last night isn't doing her side any favors. Quickly she gets mostly dressed. She has her blouse pulled up and she is working on cleaning her stitches.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari escaped to make the morning easier last night. He arrives, on Shinobu's doorstep of her dorm with a series of soft knocks, not too loud. He's been there before. Now you're wondering, 'really!?' well, let's call it 'rich boy's privlege' and also there was this one time in Europe where there isn't quite a drinking age. BUT!

Regardless, he is here.

"Shinobu-chan. It's me~ Hinote~" he says just a little cheerily.

He has in his hands, a bag containing things from a local drug store.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
"Come in. Just... fixing myself up." Shinobu is still cleaning her wounds. They are all neatly stitched and for the most part are healing. Still there is blood both dried and fresh. Idly she uses cotton balls and some rubbing alcohol to clean the wounds.

"Speak soft okay?" She comments as she works. "No more alcohol. Nope. No more. My head hurts really bad." She frowns and winces as the stuff burns her.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari opens the door and 'huhs', before walking in and looking around and whistles. "Nice dorm." he says.

He walks on over and nods. "Yeah, talk softly." he says, indeed, softly. "I'm sure your head is ringing really bad." he says.

He places the bag down on the counter as he takes out three bright red containers of some sort of Sports Drink, two pill bottles- Advil and Excedrin- and he takes two of each and comes over with the sports drink and the two pills he offers them. "Drink the whole thing- and take these. It'll take a bit. But---" he says. "Been there, done that, don't ask why~" he smirks coyly.

He looks at her gashes and winces. "Woah- are you okay?" he asks, keeping his voice down managably. "Is that what Riventon did to you, or are these new ones?" he asks with a frown.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods and looks around, "Yeah, Mom and Dad wanted to make the place pretty since I could see again. They wanted me to be surrounded by nice things after everything." She smiles a little and finishes up the cleaning. Then it's onto bandages and taping."

Then Hinote brings her the energy drink and the pain reliever her. "Isn't this how this whole thing started?" She laughs and pops the pills into her mouth. Quickly she chases that with the energy drink. Chug chug chug! As soon as its downed she smiles a little.

As she finishes with the bandages, she goes for the tape, "That is Riventon's work. Not new at all. You know me, I'm harder to hit than most. Anyway. When it happened I turned it out. I mean it hurt but I was so focused on the fight and adrenaline. I just didn't notice. When the fight ended my henshin broke and I could see just how bad it was. I was bleeding through my uniform."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari nods. "When...." he says. "....I went back to Waldia with my friends to go restore the barrier that keeps a demon army out of thier world... slightly before that, a demon arrived here and tried to kill The Princess-- she'd been knocked out of her transformation and---"

"I took a spear to the gut throwing myself in front of her. I had about--- a half foot wide hole where my stomach should be and I just fell unconcious."

"I had a hell of a time trying to explain to my parents how I could end up with a hole in my stomach. Let alone, how it mostly closed up within a twenty four hour period. I managed to convience everyone that they were mistaken and I'd just gotten into a bad car accident." he nods.

"Riventon attacked the Princess early on when I became a knight. He was one of the first persons I fought. Powerful. Won't take 'no' for an answer..." he mutters.

"Be careful around him. He bleeds--- darkness. Like demon magic."

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods, "I don't heal as quick. This was dark energy that did this to me. I think it would be healing faster if not. My magic doesn't lend itself to healing. It lends to avoiding being hit entirely. This is what that woman was jumping my case. She didn't think I should have been fighting after that.

The young woman quickly tapes over the bandages to better protect herself. She makes it nice and snug, working it around her lower ribs and waist.

"Mami-sempai was warning me about him last night. Getting hit with that type of magic really does a number to Puella Magi. It corrupts our gems faster then just regular magic does." She gives a small frown and carefully tears the tape and drops her blouse down to where it ought to be.

"Hinochan, If I see him again, I will fight him. I won't back down. I can't. Its not in me to do so. If someone doesn't stop him, he is going to kill a lot of people." She frowns.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari nods. "He is. And I don't expect you to stop. But--- just be more on your toes, is all I can say." he takes a deep breath, as he pulls over one of those bottles and takes a sip. "He's powerful. I don't know much beyond except that he wants The Princess dead and her wand." he says.

"I can't allow that." he says.

"I really need to get you in contact with a magical healer though." he admits softly. "Did--you see a doctor for those sitches?" he asks.

He shakes his head. "Tsk, of course you probably didn't." he grins coyly. Not disapprovingly.

"So..." he says softly.

"I want to apologize..." he says softly, carefully. But not 'for what?' yet.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura looks at Hinote and gives a rye smile. "You know what would happen if I went to the hospital with that. Not just the fifty questions overhow I wound up hurt, but they'd want to talk to my parents. If that happens..." She shakes her head. "Well you know how it went when they assumed you were being dishonorable with me. Imagine of I said someone hit me with a car? My mom would be filing a lawsuit and my dad would be looking for his next mark."

She laughs a few moments. "What are you sorry for? I mean, I'm pretty sure you've not done anything but be great to me." She smiles a little.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
About apologies, someone is knocking in Shinobu's dorm room door. It is in fact the famous idol Tsubasa Kazanari, as evidenced by the words that follow up that knocking. "I want to apologize, Kimura-san." There's a few more knocking, and then there's silence. Should anyone open the door, Tsubasa is standing on the other side, in her school uniform, with the only addition being a black hoodie drawn low over her face. Just like the first time Shinobu and Tsubasa met.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari tsks. "Well. My mom calls me... oblivious sometimes. It isn't so much that as---" he motions. "---many of the girls my dad tries to hook me up with are--- snooty, self-absorbed people. And it's one thing to enjoy what you have, but another to be infatuated by it- and not give back." he offers.

"In this case- I was oblivious. You expected a date. Instead, I offered to take you to Midori-ya. This is-- not my prime location for a 'date'." he offers.

"--and I was unable to get a reservation in time elsewhere." he admits.

"Thusly..." he says.

He motions. "I feel terrible in my own way- even though, you may not mind I--- well. I figured I'd say it anyways-- it's---"

"Just a thing with me." he mutters.

He looks to the door.

"Huh..." he says looking at Shinobu. "Want me to get that?"

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura stands and pulls closer to Hinote. She smiles to him softly, "You know, I've never been on a date. Most guys didn't want to be dating the weird girl with white eyes. You helped me out and made that offer while I was still that girl."

"Plus I've not seen any fancy resturants since I was 11. I've not even seen the inside of Midori-ya yet. That will make it wonderful no matter if it's not a major date. Besides, given the nature of things, we do have a knack for rough situation. I'd hate for us to get kicked out of some fancy place!" She laughs playfully then there is the knock at the door and that familiar voice.

"Come in." She states loudly. "I got it." She whispers to Hino. Quickly she makes her way to the door and opens it for Tsubasa.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
Tsubasa notices Hinote as soon as the door opens. "Is this a bad time? I didn't mean to interrupt anything." She asks, looking past Shinobu to try to figure out if she knows the guy. She doesn't bother spending too much effort on that, looking back at Shinobu. "I can come back later if it's more convenient."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari grins. "Alright then, as long as you're okay with it~" he says. He smiles, a little more at ease now, whew.

He does, however look at Tsubasa with a blink. Does he knows this girl? Huh. He gently keeps ghis thoughts to himself as he lets Shinobu handle this one.

So far, doesn't seem hostile. He doesn't seem bothered by this.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
"No it's fine. Please come in." Shinobu gives a smile to the idol and a polite bow. "Apologize? What for the concert? Wasn't your fault. I mean come on. You can't control the lunacy around this city anymore than I can. I just make my shows off of it!"

Shinobu moves back and stands beside Hinote. "This is my good friend, Maybe more, Hinote Kagari." She smiles and backs off, allowing Hinote and Tsubasa to meet.

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
"Kinzo Kagari's son?" Tsubasa asks, coming in as the invitation passes and looking over the boy, trying to compare him to the actor she's doubtlessly met once or twice. "And, uh, not the concert." She fishes out a slightly cracked, strange red crystal from below her hoody, it's on a simple chain, and distinctly not regular jewely. She puts it back.

"What I was trying to say to you at the dance, I uh... said it in just about the worst way possible. Sorry. I did not mean to threaten or intimidate you, and because of my actions you felt compelled to share a secret. I wish to make up for my error."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari stands, walks over and bows politely. "Hello! As Shinobu-chan has said here, I am Hinote Kagari. How are you?" he asks, appraising the girl as he gets closer and hrmmms. "You seem... familiar..." he says as he strokes his chin. He seems to be searching his head... and then she says dad's name.

"Ah--must had. Been at a fund raiser... maybe. Or---" he hrmmmmms.

"Oh---you're... Tsubasa... Kanazari-ah!" he says as he places a face with a name he's heard in news maybe.

"That's correct, right? You're talking about a concert..."

He shakes his head.

"Oh----you're... that person from last night." he says a little tersely.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura does a double take, "That explains how you were there at the concert then." Got the important thing there. Shinbou then gets much more serious. "Have a seat. I think we both have some apologies to make."

The redhead moves to the kitchen and puts on a kettle for tea before returning to take a seat. "Tea will be done in a few minutes." She blushes a little. "Thanks for coming by Kazinari-san. I guess, the best place to start is with this. We both messed up last night. I'm just as guilty."

Shinobu crosses her legs and get comfortable while she motions for both Hinote and Tsubasa to take a seat. "I apologize for how I handled myself last night. Your approach was aggressive and honestly, Puella Magi get that a lot from what I've gathered. Many people don't like us because it isn't uncommon for us to fight especially over grief seeds." She shrugs, "I don't like being in conflict with others like that but I am very new to this life and got thrown into the deep end of the pool, if you will."

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
"What I was trying to say is that you took the kind of unnecessary risk that could get you killed, and that I don't like it when people take risks like that." Tsubasa explains in far less hostile tones as she takes a seat, and sighs deeply. "I could have come the way you know me, but I thought handing a secret out would be..." She seems lost for words, unlike the stage personality. "Talking was never my strong suit."

She shrugs towards Hinote's terse sentence, not quite adding anything for his sake. "There's a reason that in all my years as a magical girl I've avoided interacting with others. Esp..." She suddenly cuts her sentence short, "Nevermind. I don't know much about others, and there's nothing I can fake from practiced lines."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari crosses his arms a bit as he listens, looking between Tsubasa and Shinobu. He doesn't get involved right away, but he does listen. He's good at that.

He finally talks. "Coming as you did is a show of trust." he says. "I figure. Right? To show you don't mean harm." he offers, trying to distill that sentence she trails off on.

He sits back and listens as he takes a sip of his drink. Then he 'ohs!' and grabs the third there was and offers it to Tsubasa. "Here, do you want one? Just... Fruit Punch Gatorade." he offers.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu frowns a little. It takes her a moment or two to collect her thoughts beforeshe actually speaks. "I don't know how much you know about Puella Magi, but umm, We're made through wishes. I had a very simple choice when I made my wish. Wish or die. I had run from some thugs who had been marked by a witch. I was blind and I hid inside a building. I accidentally ran into the witch's labyrinth. Her familiars we beating me to death. I tried to fight back with my cane but a non-magical cane against magical beings... I didn't stand a chance."

Shinobu sighs softly and rubs her head. "I made my wish to avoid death. I wished to see."

She looks up to Tsubasa and gives a soft smile. "A puella magi's magic is linked to the wish they make. Mine causes me to see a few seconds into the future. Its why I tend to be a little more bold then I ought to be. At the concert, part of me wanted to run out. I was hurting and I just wanted to go curl up somewhere but I thought, I've been given another shot at life. How dare I run when so many people may not get that same shot at living."

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
"I know that you need grief seeds that witches drop to replenish your magic and that you'll die if you don't, and well... that thing you said last night." Tsubasa answers straight up what she knows, which is both a lot and very little at the same time. She nods to Hinote, "Yeah, I didn't know any better way, and I didn't want to make things worse by showing up ready for battle."

She grabs the gatorade, and opens it, taking a sip. "Thanks." She thinks for a moment, and then adds. "I'd been a magical girl for several years before I figured out there were others, dealing with their own problems, and even then I never used to get involved."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari smiles and nods. "I'm Guardian Hino. A knight in the service of Waldia." he says politely. "I am from Earth, however. Waldia is my adopted world." he offers politely. "We're remaining here to repay a debt." He offers.

He looks over to Shinobu and nods. "That's a good way of thinking-- I mean, when you fight to protect others." he says softly.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
The tea kettle begins whistling. Shino makes her way over to the kettle and pours some tea. "Would you both like some? I have plenty." She doesn't wait for an answer. Whats a few more dirty dishes if they don't want any? Quickly she moves all three cups and saucers as well as sugar and cream into the living area.

"Where were we?" She asks for a moment before getting comfortable again. "Right, me being reckless." She smiles a little. "When I use my magic, I am functioning at that point where most people or things already made a choice and are following through with it. Its why I was able to go unscathed through the fight at the concert."

She frowns and looks over to Hinote. "I umm... overestimated myself. I thought the mix of my magic and my skill with the bo, that I could deflect what Riventon was doing. It worked for the most part but some got through and my side. Its why I'm patched up. It hurts but between training and not exactly having my soul in the right place, I can shake it off to where I can keep fighting."

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
Tsubasa nods to Hino's introduction, just taking it in. "Good to know, thank you." She tells him, not sure what else she can say to that, and instead she glances towards Shinobu. "I'll take the tea." She puts down the partially finished can of gatorade, and listens to what Shinobu has to say.

"I'm not saying you're not good, Kimura-san. It's just, things were under control, and sometimes you need to take a step back and let other people handle it." She shifts, uncomfortably, in her seat. "I know it's not easy. I had to learn that the hard way." A brief, self-deprecating look passes by her otherwise hard to read face, "Turns out it's hard to fight Noise when you can barely stand, even with crutches."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari listens as he smiles. "Yes, please." he says softly as he waits for tea, when he gets his cup, he puts too big spoonfuls of sugar in there and some cream. Is that tea syrup yet!? Maybe. He takes a long sip as he closes his eyes and smiles with a 'mmmmmm tea expression' ~_~.

Then he opens his eyes as he looks to Shinobu. "The first witch I fought..." he says. "I wasn't magical yet. I threw rocks at it, then I shoved my friend out of the way who became this strange magical princess before my eyes." he grins a little.

"That's when she offered me a chance to live my dream. Because she overestimated herself and I saved her. We all make mistakes. I shouldn't had been fighting a nightmare creature with rocks and she should had known what she was dealing with before she tried some magic that didn't even affect it." he murmurs.

"Noise?" he asks curiously.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
It's time for a long overdue visit from Miss White! After a bit of hunting, she's come down with Shinobu's apartment number in Infinity. The white-suited young woman whistles as she walks up to the door, and simply knocks three times.

As she awaits the other blind woman to answer, she lingers somewhat awkwardly as she waits, spinning one of Raging Tempest's knuckles around one finger. The CEO has strange ways of entertaining herself.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods slowly, "Then you know just as well as I do that when you see trouble, its not so easy to walk away."She adds one bit spoon of sugar to her cup and then a little of the cool cream. Quietly she takes a sip.

"Witches are what I am supposed to hunt. That is the name of this game to me. I wanted to my normal life and that seperate. Like a part time job. The more I try the harder I fail at doing that. I don't even care that most people know what I am at this point. The only people I don't want to know that I am this... Lich witch hunter is my parents. If my mom found out... I'd break her heart. My dad would try to turn a profit off of me." She gives a little sigh.

"I will keep fighting. I've got to keep fighting. It's all that really makes sense to me right now. The philosphy of all of this hurts my head to think about. Am I human? Am I a magical being? Am I a monster? Am I just a weapon? I don't really know anymore."

Then to Hinote, "Care for a little tea with your sugar?" She winks playfully. "The noise are monsters that I am guessing people like Kazanari-san fights."

Then there is another knock on the door. "Good gods, Its a Sober-up House party!" She smiles and goes to the door. "Hello?"

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
Shinobu's questions flow over Tsubase, and she seems to be made a little pensive about it, but doesn't really seem to have anything to say. Instead, she answers Hinote with a dry observation, "Overestimating yourself seems to be a common trait." She looks at the door to see who else is showing up now.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari looks to the door and blinks. He peeks. "Oh.....! Miss White." he says with a wave and a smile. Miss White would know Hinote as 'one of the Waldians' by now. Miss White is welcome in his prescence, she helped save Waldia, after-all.

He looks over to Shinobu and smiles. "I like plenty of sugar, yes." he says softly.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Hannah grins as a voice calls out, and the CEO chuckles. "Hey there! It's Miss White! Shinobu Kimura, right? Wanted to have a chat with you if you have the time. You remember me from the meeting, right? Mind if I come in?" Comes Miss White's voice, easy and warm.

And then, inside? She offers Hinote a grin and a wave. 'Sight' comes to her thanks to her Device, hands in her pockets, and she grins to everyone.

"...Wow, there a party in here or something? And I wasn't invited? For /shame/!" She teases.

"Hey Hinote! Long time." She doesn't mention the princess or Waldia. She's in unknown company anyway.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura smiles softly, "Miss White. I remember your voice. You took me to the meeting. Welcome." Of course she knows her other name too. "Let Cure Gull know that her meals are amazing! She's been helping me out, even after... Well.. After. Come on in and have a seat." She says this after she walks in.

Shinobu returns to her seat and sips at her tea. She smiles to Tsubasa and speaks up, "My parents are interesting. My mom is a lawyer, my dad is a thief and holidays get really interesting."

Tsubasa Kazanari has posed:
Tsubasa starts to get even more quiet, and as Miss White starts to get settled she gets up. "Thanks for letting me explain myself, I hope you do well." The idol quickly finishes her tea and goes for the door, "I need to get going before my manager starts wondering where I've gone off to. Sorry."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari says. "So is your dad a Kaitou? A PHANTOM THIEF or just a regular thief? I'm thinking he could rock the tuxedo and tophat and gentleman thief look pretty well." he says. He chuckles a little. He winks a little.

He smiles. "Miss White helped saved Waldia. She's fine in my books." he says towards Shinbou and Tsubasa.

He takes a sip of tea.

He nods to Tsubasa. "Be well, Kazanari-san." he says with a soft nod.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Miss White blinks as Tsubasa starts to head off, speaking about a manager, she rubs the back of her head. "Uhh, take care!" She adds, southern accent bleeding through in slight confusion. When she's gone?

The woman leans towards Shinobu and Hinote. "...Who was that?" Yup, Hannah's clueless right now. Still, she settles into a smile.

"Hah, I've gotten her into cooking! What'd she make? She's been making progress! Still no down-home cook, but we're working on it."

"Ah, so you told her then? Well, I won't beat around the bush then. Shinobu, tell me about that ability of yours. What can you do with it? You might not be a magical girl, but I have a job for someone with a skill like that." Seems Miss White for once is out of the loop!

But she doesn't leave out Hinote. "How's Waldia doing? Princess doing any better after everything? Finally stopped apologizing?"

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura frowns as Tsubasa gets up. To leave. She stands and walks to the door with the girl, "Be safe out there." She gives a polite bow and turns back to Hannah. She smiles to her. "Oh she's a friend. I was interviewing her for the show." Oh Look! She can keep a secret!

Shinobu returns to her tea which is cooling rather quickly. "Would you like some tea? I have some on the stove." She blushes.

Finally she returns to the situation at hand. She takes a deep breath. "Umm. I am. I became a Magical Girl. I'm a Puella Magi. I can see." She blushes brightly. "My other ability is still intact. I can still see magic and life enery. The only person's I can't see is mine."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari puts down his teacup. "She's very good. She's smiling a lot nowadays- stopped apologizing, yes. Now it's time to apologize with actions instead of words." he says softly. He blinks and looks between Miss White and Shinobu. "Not a magical girl....?" he asks curiously.

Oh-- maybe. Miss White doesn't know. He keeps his mouth shut.

He speaks up. "I've been helping her where I can." he says softly. "It's all I can do." he says softly.

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Miss White takes it at face value. A shrug. "Gotcha! Yeah, tea would be great actually!"

Settled on the sofa, legs crossed, her smile quickly evaporates. There's a serious 'glance', almost a glare leveled at Shinobu. "...So you took that little rat's 'deal', huh? I hope you're prepared then. You signed your own death warrant kiddo. Better much sure you don't have any regrets." Harsh and blunt, as usual.

And just as quickly, she smiles. "But that's okay! I've made it my job to grab that jerk's coat-tails and rip off everything I can use until there's nothing left. Who knows. With enough money, power, and a little luck, maybe I can fix a little half-busted mage like you." Smirk.

"Grats on the sight though. Was that your Wish? Or did you trade away your life for more than that?" She questions, before turning to Hinote.

"Actions instead of words, huh? Well, given you're still around, I take it you guys are playing 'hero' now? It suits you better. I'm glad. Poor idiot seemed like she was killing herself."

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura rolls her eyes and nods slowly, "I wish it were as simple as that. I didn't have a very pretty choice. It was death or wish. I called him and took my life into my own hands. Regrets? Yes. I regret the day I met the fuzzball. But the choice was mine and I made it."

Shinobu laughs a little. "To see was my wish." SHe thinks a moment. "What I think is happening though. As Kyubey so eloquently put it, the reason I could see after losing my physical sight was because of the potential I have to be a magical girl. That vision is trying to reassert itself which hurts bad. But, when I close my eyes I see the magic. I guess You could say I get to live on borrowed time now though." She laughs a little.

"Oh and don't under estimate me. This little half-busted mage is more than a handful. Since I made my wish I've mixed it up with more then just witches and even gave a what I am betting is a really nasty bruise to both the ego and the shoulder of a guy who was whipping dark energy at me."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari nods. "Yes." he says. He smirks and gives a wink. "She's better suited to it, too." he says about the Princess. He frowns as Hannah puts it bluntly. He knows the Puella Magi have it hard. Is it THAT hard? He just shakes his head.

"Shin-chan." he says. "You did what you had to do." she says softly.

He looks to Miss White. "You mean the thing that grants the wishes, right?" he asks. "I don't know much about it."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Miss White hmm's as she considers. She doesn't speak for a while, and finally, she just laughs.

"Well, it sounds like you have a good handle on things. You're treating that little fuzzy cheat like he deserves. And it looks like you really don't regret what you did. Anyway, here." She produces a business card, and puts it on the table.

"Call me if you want a high paying job filled with excitement, adventure, and flexible morals as we teach greenhorn Puella and magical girls how to not die immediately on the job!" What a sales pitch.

"...Oh really? Heh. I'll have to see just how strong you are then soon." Excitement creeps into her voice. She cracks her knuckles.

"Yup. Name's Kyubey. He offers vulnerable people like our Shino-chan here impossible wishes in return for a lifetime of fighting. You know, when a Witch kills them, or they run out of magic and die. /That/ is what I want to make obsolete, you see." A wink.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari nods a bit. "Yeah I know that much---I mean about the Grief Seeds." he says. "Princess says we're to make sure they get into the hands of a Puella Magi only." he says softly. "So that's what I do." he says with a curt nod.

He frowns. "I was too late and Shin-chan here had to make her wish." he says.

"Lots of us where." he says with a sigh and frown. "I was too busy trying to---not kill some thugs that were witch controlled. Princess doesn't want us killing senselessly..." he says softly.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura nods and accepts the card. "Honestly, After the week I've had, Personally I'd enjoy harvesting me a fluff ball but I will settle for just a quiet evening here or there!" She laughs a little.

She thinks a little, "So far I've managed not to die. I don't get hit too often. In fact I would say my reaction time is pretty close to supernatural levels. Isn't that right Hinochan?" She winks to him almost playfully as she keeps just what she can do a secret. "High paying though does sound nice. I do have pretty strong morals though. If I didn't I would have buried a magical blade into the guy who tried to kill a friend of mine."

Hannah Sharpe has posed:
Miss White gives a thumbs up. "That, or bring them to me! They'll get back into the hands of Puella, one way or the other. Please, top off my supply. It's really been dropping off as of late! And demand's soaring!" She offers to Hinote. A raised brow.

"...Huh. Let's have coffee or something, tell me all about that when I'm taking up space in our friend here's house!"

Cue a slap on the back for Hinote. Touchy blind american girls!

Miss White just seems /pleased/. "Well then, keep it up! You'll be one of the first to know if I come up with a 'cure'. Glad to hear. Just remember: my contracts are negotiable. One of my employees has the option to punch me in the face directly if they don't like what I'm doing at the time. Consider it, okay? Thanks for the tea by the way." She swallows the rest, and gives a wave.

"I'll get out of your hair now. Thanks, Shinobu. I really hope you come over to my side. We're doing wonderful things." With that? A wave and out she goes.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari watches Hannah leave and he shakes his head a bit. "Bye, Miss White-san." he says. He smiles over to Shin-chan. "Well. Seems we're back alone now." he says with a mischiefous grin. "Are you feeling any better?" he asks motioning to his head as if to suggest 'the headache'.

"Did all that help?" he asks curiously.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura looks at Hinote, "Well. What a day!" She rubs her head and nods slowly "I feel a lot better. Thanks so much for the help." She blushes. "I won't be drinking again anytime soon."

"It did. I think this is the most unusual normal day I could ask for!" She laughs and gives Hinote a hug.

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari grins and nods, he hugs back, snugly, even! He lets go. He stands up. "I wanted to make sure you were okay. I escaped earlier because--- well. A--- I knew you were going to wake up with a heacache the moment I heard you slurring and... B--- it'd had been improper for me to escort you home in such a state." he says.

"You'll... understand. After a bit. Rumors and all---" he says.

"--and I don't need people think I'm being improper and---"

"I don't think I need you thinking I'm improper." he nods curtly.

"At least..."

Mischefivous smile. "Not yet."

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura laughs a little and nods, "I understand. The good thing is I got to talk to Mami-sempai and hopfully I can get to learn some more about all of this." She smiles to Hino and nods. "What do you think about this witch hunters group? I mean I dunno if I'd fit in or not. I think my morals may be a little tighter then they expect."

She snickers and pours herself another cup of tea. "More tea?" She offers?

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari shakes his head and puts his nearly empty cup down. "I have some things to do today, actually." he admits softly. "And should be going soon." he says sadly. "Luckily, it's not on a strict time table, but-- if I can get them done early--- no issues with them not getting up if something happens!" he beams.

He thinks. 'WPS'... "Miss White's group? Miss White is... she has her own way of doing things. I don't agree with them all. Neither does the Princess. But..."

He says.

"I think she means well. In the end. It's up to you, Shinobu. I'm going to help you, regardless of what you choose alright?" he asks with a smile.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura Smiles a little. "I was offered a job with someone else too. Sailor V's group. I do enjoy arguing with V I also know her morals may be too tight. I mean the idea that someone has me mad enough to not hold back on them is a pretty good sign that maybe I am not so strict with my morals? I dunno." She blushes a little.

"Hey if you need to head out, go for it. I gotta clean up anyway and I'm pretty sure school is out of the question for today."

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari grins and nods. He gives a final hug. "Remember, call me if you ever need to talk, Shin-chan~" he says softly. "And-- when things calm down... we'll go on a proper date." he grins and 'fingerguns'. Before he poltiely leaves, hands in his pockets of his jacket.

Shinobu Kimura has posed:
Shinobu Kimura hugs back and then nods, "Of course Hinochan." Then he gives that grin and then a fingergun? What? Really!? Girls gotta do everything. She quickly moves up behind him, spins him around and... gives him a peck on the lips. Her face turns bright red as she backs off. "Have a good day Hinochan!"

Hinote Kagari has posed:
Hinote Kagari blinks!? Eh!? Well--- now he stumbles out with a blush before that door closes--- whoops! He did not expect that.

Now he has the most /doofiest/ smile on his face.
