WHEN: Just after 2-B's **special** cultural festival segment
WHERE: Some hallway without too many people
WHY: Because nobody showed her the script

[The head of the chinchilla costume has been discarded haphazardly on the hallway floor. The rest of the costume, is, along with the person inside of it, curled up and facing the wall, head covered by arms as if it were a tornado drill and she was the only person who knew about it.]

[ Kiriko passes by, having separated herself from Kozue and Reizo, though not from her phone which they are surely at the other end of. She almost doesn't notice Toshimi while she's texting away, but turns to look when she nearly trips over the chinchilla head, pausing to finish her text off, first. ]

"Nawanaka-san?"

[ Well, who else was in a Chinchilla costume 20 minutes ago? ]

"It wasn't that bad, at least the costume kept you dry."

	[Toshi is still for a moment, and then, motion by mechanical motion, turns her head to Kiriko. In addition to the questionable costume she is wearing her fakest fake smile.] "Ikeda-san." [Her voice is stiff and she speaks slowly.] "O-of course. I apologize...for...those..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ It doesn't take Kiriko very long to catch on. She flips the phone shut and pockets it for the time being. ] "I guess you didn't write the plans for that last room?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Toshi drops the charade and buries her face in her hands.] "I didn't know that was going to happen! Why would anybody..." [She is too dismayed to finish.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Kiriko shakes her head, leaving a glittery trail in the air behind her. ] "I don't know. I really do not know what is wrong with that girl. I guess she knew it would get to us. Or hoped it would." [ Kiriko nudges her foot against the chinchilla head, debating on whether to sit down or not. ] "You're still struggling with that stuff, huh?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She rubs her temples.]

"She probably wasn't thinking...right?" [But she doesn't really sound like she believes this.] "Or maybe that really talkative short girl wrote it. With the..." [She gestures vaguely.] "The ghost."

[She sits up a little straighter, seemingly for the exclusive purpose of slumping back down again.]

"I..."

[She's silent for a long moment.]

"It's not easy."

	"So what?" [ With her foot mounted on the chinchilla head and one hand on her hip she looks a bit like a conqueror from a particularly bizarre painting. ] "A lot of easy things aren't worth it, anyway. Easy doesn't matter if you're miserable." [ She regards Toshi a bit warily before proceeding. ] "You know I've dealt with it first-hand." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know..." [She regards Kiriko gloomily.] "I thought at first maybe we were the same. But after that one time, you never seemed bothered by it." [She turns her gaze to the floor. Looking Kiriko in the eye while saying this is apparently not doable.] "So we're not alike. You can accept what the world throws at you and I guess I just keep running."

[ Kiriko frowns faintly, nudging the chinchilla head to one side. Her hands fold behind her back as she pivots on her heel and leans against the wall, next to where Toshi is sitting. ]

"Well, just because I seemed that way doesn't mean I never..."

[ She glances down at Toshi, looking a little serious in her candidness. ]

"I don't see why you can't stop running."

"Right. I shouldn't have assumed. Sorry." [Empty words, at best.]

"I thought so too. I tried for a while, you know?"

[She traces her finger in circles on the ground.]

"But even then I would just let things happen as they did. My way of not-running was running. Recursion. Everything I do ends up going in a loop. Thought I figured it out..."

[On some level, she seems to have forgotten she is speaking out loud. She looks up and remembers Kiriko is there.]

"Sorry. I shouldn't be talking like this."

	[ Authoritatively: ] "I'd tell you if you shouldn't." [ Another pause as she considers what Toshimi said. ] "It's just going to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If I can change what's going to happen in my life, can't you do the same?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thrown_to_winds 2010-10-20 04:16 am UTC (link)
	[A phrase that she's clearly been repeating to herself for quite some time:] "Can't change what already happened. Everything has its logical sequence." [She considers Kiriko, though.] "You changed it? For sure?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apathyisboring 2010-10-20 04:19 am UTC (link)
	"Pretty sure." [ A pause. ] "Maybe I won't succeed at what I want to be, but I'm definitely not going to end up the way I thought I was." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thrown_to_winds 2010-10-20 04:57 am UTC (link)
	"Oh..." [She looks at Kiriko curiously, with some newfound admiration.] "Then, maybe you were meant to from the beginning." [Thoughtfully, after a moment:] "Or maybe it's different from how I thought." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apathyisboring 2010-10-20 02:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Of course it's different. Saying that everything was meant to be is just a cop-out." [ She looks down at Toshimi, sidelong. ] "It's your life. You're the only one who can make something of it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thrown_to_winds 2010-10-22 07:13 am UTC (link)
	"That's how I'm supposed to feel, isn't it?" [Toshimi thinks about it for a moment.] "But it's good you're able to feel that way, Ikeda-san." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	apathyisboring 2010-10-22 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ After a moment, a smile blooms on her face - a very Kiriko-y one, with the air of knowing something that everyone else doesn't. She pushes up off the wall and kicks the Chinchilla head gently back in Toshimi's direction. With a wave of her hand, she turns to leave. ] "I'll see you around, Nawanaka-san."
