Characters: Tomoko Oashi - Open
Format: prose, action, all the formats
This log is: open
Location: Starting in the Courtyard and then ALL AROUND.
Summary: Tomoko ~~whips her hair~~ freaks out a little. And lurks around.
Warnings: She's so cute it will instantaneously make you vomit.

Tomoko's not new to fear. She feels it almost constantly, and she's feeling it now, her stomach twisting and turning. She's not a new student- she knows she's not a new student, she's been here for three years now. So why did they keep saying she was? Why was she on that train earlier? What kind of new, sick trick was this?

She keeps herself close to the shadows in the courtyard. If she stays out of the way, maybe, just maybe, she can stay out of the sight of those who might wish to harm her. And who knows? Maybe she might see a familiar face, or hear something that could be of use.

[You know that creepy feeling you get when someone's staring at you? Tomoko's getting that feeling right about now, and she's not liking it very much.

She turns her head the slightest bit, and can see him out of the corner of her eye. She doesn't recognize who he is exactly, but he looks familiar, and she can tell he's a boy. Out of habit more than fear, she looks away and quickens her pace.]

[At her reaction, Tougyu blinks in curiosity and watches her try to speed away. He's gotten so used to the reaction of the women around here, girls who never experienced the male oppression of Utopia and thus act like they have the right to be there, that Tomoko's reaction is actually a little bit startling.

But that must mean she's from Utopia... right?

Well, he might as well ask. Sorry Tomoko, Tougyu is walking after you now.]

[Oh god. Oh god- is he following her?

She can't exactly tell without turning back to look at him, and she doesn't want to do that, regardless of if he's following her or not.

Her heart's racing, and her expression shows that- but he can't exactly see that, with her back turned to him. She just has to keep walking faster, and it'll all be okay. Yeah, that's the plan. A pretty unthoughtout plan. ]

[He doesn't particularly care for the chase, not when there's no point for it. Nobody to put on a show for, nobody to entertain... no, he just has a few questions and he wants them answered.

Realistically, quizzing every middle school girl from Utopia is a horrid waste of time, but he doesn't have anything else to go by at this point.]

Hey, you. [He calls out to Tomoko in a bland, authoritative tone of voice.]

[Why is he talking to her? She considers sprinting off at first- then finds a small part in her heart that's brave enough to at least turn around and look at him.

She takes a deep breath, puts on a neutral expression, and speaks up.]

Yes?

[The fact that she turns to look at him makes him rethink the idea that she's from Utopia. After all, any girl who's heard of him usually tries to get away from him as quickly as possible.

Still, he'll come to a stop from her, just out of arm's reach and look her over.]

What's your name?

[That's too close for Tomoko. She ends up panicking and taking another good step back, away from him, before she replies. She doesn't know why he wants to know her name- to piece her together with Sora? Either way, lying seems too cowardly, so she replies honestly.]

T-tomoko. Oashi.

[Dammit.

A mildly disappointed look comes over Tougyu's face as he slouches a little more, as if he's trying to curl in on himself to look her in the eyes. He should've known it wouldn't be that easy.

Still, he might as well ask a second question, cover all bases and all that.]

Middle school? [And before she can answer that question, he tosses her another one.] Do you know a Shishido... something? She'd be around your age.

[She does. But Hiyo-chan had been so nice, and Tomoko wasn't too keen on the idea of offering a boy up information about her friend. ...If that's what she was even. It took a large amount of courage, but she mustered up a convincing, slightly confused look.]

3rd year middle school, yes. But I don't know anyone by that name!

[For a moment, Tougyu leans in to give Tomoko a searching stare, as if he can sense that she's lying to him. In the end, however, it's just an intimidation tactic. A last-ditch attempt in trying to pull the truth from her.]

Tell me the truth.
