WHO: Kou, Kiriko, Reizo, Toshi, ???
WHAT: Investigation
WHERE: The end of Noodle Alley, near the school
WHEN: 5 PM, sometime soon
WHY: Because.

October meant that the days were getting shorter. By the time Toshimi arrived at the designated meeting spot, a few minutes before five, Noodle Alley was already bathed in the yellow light of a sun about to set. The vendors were beginning to turn their lights on, but the dinner rush had yet to begin. Noodle Alley was quiet...comparatively.

Toshi stood near the street corner and watched people pass, looking for someone she recognized. As far as she knew, they were about to spend a night on the town--there was an investigation planned eventually, yes, but she didn't know where (here) or when (now). She was dressed in a pink spaghetti strap tank and an old, worn pair of jeans that were a little too tight, and a pair of strappy sandals; with all her clothes coming secondhand from the neighbors back home, this was the most appropriate thing she had (although she'd at least found the right pink and sparkly hairclips to match). She adjusted her clothes a little bit. Even finding this outfit had taken more digging than she'd cared to do; she had found things in those boxes that she'd long since thought buried. But it was all right if she was going to have a little fun, right?

She watched a noodle vendor across the street turn his display lights on for the night, wondering what the evening held in store.

"Hey, Nawanaka-san!"

Kiriko emerged from the awning she'd been standing under, waving in Toshimi's direction to get her attention. Two things were instantly recognizable as being wrong with the picture - one, Kiriko was still dressed in her uniform, Nanakamado jacket folded and slung over one arm. Two, rather than being backed by a group of their female teammates in shiny shirts and body glitter, Reizo and Kou were pulling up the rear.

"Sorry," she said, doing her best to sound appropriately sheepish. "We got a tip about Ozaki-sensei still being at school, and this was the best day for everybody, so I asked Kozue-san to re-book. I tried to tell you today but I couldn't find you, so..."

She glanced back at the boys. Their presence more or less finished the story for her. When she looked back, she looked Toshimi up and down, swift and appraising. A little less showy than what she'd hope for, but hey, maybe too much would be a put-off for Kou anyway. She smiled again.

"I'm glad you could find something, though. You look nice!" Her eyes snapped back, looking to Kou for him to corroborate that opinion.

Kouchisei waited. The smell and claustrophobia of the alley had triggered his not-yet-banished assertiveness. Not only had he spent the last three days not dismissing his ideals entirely, this whole alleyway required effort in that he had to be standing in it. At least in his own home he could feel relaxed instead of standing here senselessly not knowing what to say.

Toshimi was dressed strangely. He looked at her for a good while, trying to fathom what about the situation was different - and thinking about it made him wonder why he found things like this harder to say this time. Even with that, he believed nothing was untoward at all, and that Kiriko's glance was the strangest thing ever.

"Uh? I guess?" His confused expression looked like he had not wanted or expected to be asked for his opinion.

Reizo rambled in behind the other two, broad shoulders hunched and hair hanging askew in his face. His lips were twisted up into a moue of distaste, and he carried himself with the petulance of a elementary school bully who’d been caught pushing people down into the sandbox and stealing their candy. The lollipop stick that was sticking jauntily out of a corner of his mouth only enhanced the effect. The berth he was giving Kou was noticeable as well.

When they came upon Toshi he lifted his gaze from the streets and windows of the surrounding area and ran them over appraisingly. She wasn’t dressed like what he’d go for, that was for certain, and Reizo doubted it was formal enough to win the prissy faggot Kou over with. Which meant he’d win the bet. He’d never hoped someone was a butt puncher before, but before the start of the year he’d never jammed his fist through a grinning, floating ball either.

The smirk that snapped into place at Kou’s awkward, lukewarm response was hard to miss.

“Don’t worry about him, Nawa-chan. I’d hit it.”

Toshi waved a little bit when she saw the others. She did think it was odd that Reizo and Kou were there, and she noticed that before she noticed they were in uniform. She wondered why they were all together. Reizo and Kiriko had the common trait of being pretty intimidating, but it wasn't until Kiriko had mentioned the nurse that she remembered they had a reason to bring Kou along anywhere. She pursed her lips a little bit; she'd been looking forward to going out, but this was important. "Ah, that's fine," she said to Kiriko. Some part of her noted that she'd just been in the usual places all day and Kiriko must not have tried very hard to find her, but she wasn't about to complain about it. "Anything for the team."

She noticed the others looking at her and smiled uncomfortably...was it a bad outfit? Or was it that strange for her to be out of uniform? "Thank you, Ikeda-san," she nodded politely.

Kou's answer seemed somewhere between awkward and not-quite-sincere, but this was unsurprising to Toshimi. He didn't strike her as the type of guy who was looking to pick up girls--he did like girls, right? But Kou was too serious about school to let it show.

It was Reizo's response that worried her. Her first reaction was shock; her skin turned a noticeable shade or two paler, and her eyes darted about the alley, perhaps looking for escape routes. Without her realizing, her lips had forced themselves into some teeth-gritting version of a terrified grin. Whatever mental image that expression concealed must have been very disturbing to her.

She opened her mouth to speak, but her voice seemed to be gone. After a couple attempts she managed a tiny, "Maybe I should go back and get my uniform."

She would have noticed Toshi's expression, even laughed at it, but she was far too busy giving Kou the stink eye. 'I guess?' What kind of stupid answer was 'I guess?!' The kind of answer that was going to cost her money, Kiriko guessed. Reizo was next in line for a look, one she hoped could be easily read as "I am not paying you."

With the both of them non-verbally reprimanded, she turned back to Toshimi looking slightly less friendly than she had moments earlier.

"It's fine. Let's just get it over with."
