[ she's swinging her arms back and forth, walking with a hop in her step as she travels through the courtyard. what better way to look for a player (and specific ones, at that) than walking through the courtyard?

there are a plethora of people she doesn't recognize - most seem unfamiliar. probably new. well, it's about time she starts to mingle, right?

so then she'll walk up to whoever's around, whether they look busy or not, smile and wave cutely. ]

Hi there, I hope I'm not bothering you~ Could I ask you something?

[After having seen that battle yesterday, Enki had decided he needed to read the rulebook. But it was hard going to simply not toss it on the ground and ignore it. It talked so blithely about pain, and about fighting that he was hard-pressed to continue.

So when that bright voice asks to... well, ask something, Enki looks up.]

What is it? [Another child. There's too many children here (he sometimes uses that excuse, still, on the ministers, but this is different).]

I was just wondering if you were looking for a Weapon? Or know anyone that needs one?

Wh-no! I don't. [If a mere word could hurt someone, one of the ones Hiyo had used seemed to have done just that, as Enki winced.]

... Why so willing, anyway? [She seems to be about the age he looks to, that is, not old.]

Ah, really? Oh well, too bad~

Since I'm a student at this school - [ she smiles lightly and looks up to Enki ] - I might as well play along, right?

When 'playing along' means hurting people in mock battle... [Enki shakes his head, looking faintly disturbed. He simply cannot understand, and this whole thing jars against his very being. Literally.]

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade! [ yes, that is her response. she is acting oddly happy when talking about Exaclan. ]

You just can't not fight, at some point you'll be dragged in like everyone else~ So it doesn't matter if I start now or later, right?

[Enki gives the girl a stare and then rubs his face tiredly.]

And if I absolutely can't fight? [Because he can't. But he's sure she won't understand the absoluteness of the 'can't fight' statement.]

[Mikoto looks up]

Huh? Uh okay.

Do you happen to know what rabbits say? I mean, dogs go "woof" and cats go "meow", but what do rabbits say?

[ she is being completely serious. ]

I don't think they talk.

[Tougyu blinks at being addressed and shifts to look at the speaker. When his eyes land on Hiyo, there isn't the slightest flickering of recognition.

Have a silent stare, Hiyo, why are you bothering him?]

Ah -

[ how could she have mistaken Tougyu for a new student? she's silent for a moment - she has to think of something to say now (Hiyo wasn't expecting to see him in broad daylight like this, really) instead of what she was originally going to ask. ]

What are you doing out here, mister? [ she supposes that if Tougyu doesn't remember her, she might as well play this little game. it's a bit sad, though, to know that he doesn't know her (but somewhere deep down, Hiyo feels a bit relieved for some reason). ]

None of your business. [The reply is automatic, bland and mildly annoyed. The perfect response from a rude, slightly off his rocker SC member who is being bothered by an unknown girl.

Have a pause though as a purely wicked sneer curls his lips.] Unless you wanna be my toy, get out of here.

[Cécile has been working very hard... and not on what she should be. Oh, she's got the Exaclan manual next to her, with a piece of paper as a bookmark, and a notebook where she was clearly taking notes at one point, but she's since become slightly distracted and appears to be making small doodles of large robotic frames, food, recipes, and cats. The Exaclan manual didn't make for terribly enthralling reading (particularly the second time around, when she was rereading to take more serious notes), and while her attention span was usually great, she saw no need to force it to hold out in this case.

She blinked up at the girl when she approached before smiling. At least this one is friendly!]

Of course!

I couldn't help but noticed that you were reading the manual! [ she points to the Exaclan book, then grins ]

You're new to the academy, aren't you? Do you need any help understanding the game? I can help you if you need it!

Oh, yes! I just started this week. I think I'm understanding most of it alright-- [really, the largest gaps in her knowledge base was why such a place and competition existed in the first place]-- but I would be welcome to some tips.

[This time Utena's remembered to pack her gym bag, which she has slung over her shoulder. No bleeding knuckles today and it's OK to tell people about Fight Club.]

Hmm? Sure, what's up?

I was just wondering if your hair color's natural or not! It looks like it, but you never know. It looks nice~

Oh, uh thanks. I don't really remember.

Oh, certainly! What is it?

Sorry to disturb you, really, but you look kind of familiar! [ not really. but Hiyo is just making small talk with everyone now ] Have we met before?

No, I don't think so. Not unless you saw me in the last few days- I don't think I've seen you in any world I've been to. [Although since Exaclan fights are broadcast around the school, maybe she saw Lyra through that?]
