Who: Toshimi and Tom
What: Breaking and entering, V2
Where: Toshimi's room
When: Presumably sometime after the meeting, in the evening
Why: Because Tom has a habit of breaking into people's rooms.

Toshimi was having just an average night. Well, basically average. Without gym or baseball to burn off extra energy, she'd been a little antsy, but acknowledging this would be admitting that something had changed since Aomori's death. He'd only been a teacher, after all. So, after school, she took the train back to the dorms just as she usually would. Just as usual, she put her schoolbag back in her room and caught the tail end of whatever was on television in the dorm lounge and then went back to her room. She finished her homework, as usual. She re-read things that she didn't understand the first time and went back over her class notes to make sure they made sense, as usual. She went to the dorm kitchen to heat up her usual dinner (instant ramen), as usual, and ate it as she usually did on one of the couches in the dorm lounge. After that, she went back to her room and opened the door, just as usual---

Except that someone was already IN the room. Most of the dorm rooms, including hers, were singles, and she hadn't been expecting anyone, so even seeing somebody there was enough of a shock. Moreover, it was Sagaki-senpai. While it was better than a stranger in her room, it still left some rather important questions unanswered. Immediately Toshimi's mind started racing with them: in what, exactly, was he interested that was in her room? Was he conducting an investigation, and did that make her the subject? Was he stealing what few possessions she had, and why would he want any of them? Or (even worse) was he there to get a peek through her underwear drawer!? She stood for a long moment with an uncharacteristically dumbfounded expression on her face, trying to come up with a less terrifying explanation.

"S-sagaki-senpai," she finally managed to stutter. "Just...what exactly are you doing here?" Toshimi wasn't entirely sure if she wanted to know the answer.

"I brought you some new weapons."

Tom pulled out three sets of what looked like black cloth. He unrolled them to reveal five throwing knives of the kind he usually carried in each set, fit snugly into the pouches. He set them down on Toshi's bed and looked to her.

"You mentioned you wanted some new ones, to stop stealing from the dorm kitchens. These are some of my extra sets. There's a store just outside of Iburi that sells them along with some other things.
I'm uh... I'm sorry I had to... sneak into your room, I just didn't want anyone to see me giving you weapons in a more public place."

"You brought some..." repeated Toshimi as her eyes went from Tom to the knives back and forth. She relaxed a little: at least he had an explanation. And the prospect of free stuff could always put her in a good mood.

Still, she wasn't entirely sure what to make of the situation. No one (among the people that she knew, at least) just gave things away for free, and it was a very suspicious way of giving something to someone else. He could have at least waited until she was in the room. Either way, though, he'd been accurate in assessing that she needed new weapons, and she'd let too long of a moment pass without saying anything. "Thank you, Sagaki-senpai, I'm in your debt." She bowed politely.

"That being said, though..." She cast a glance over at a change purse sitting on her desk. There was no polite way to say 'I don't have enough money to pay you back'. She settled for, "It's difficult..." until she remembered suddenly, "And I still owe you for the tea from before!" She hadn't meant to say this out loud, but she'd lost a little bit of her self-control in the surprise. "Sorry..."

	That was Thomas' problem. FOr him it never turned into an investigation, it was always an investigation. He began pacing at the edge of the room. He continued to not notice that Toshi wante dhim to go. "Do you know Ishino well? I never really payed attention in her class, I wish I had now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom's brow furrowed. "Well I can keep us from being seen. But now I'm curious, who's been hanging around the baseball field? Obviously people who don't belong there." Tom seemed to think there was something suspicious was going on with the people at the baseball diamond. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. "Most of stealth is just being where they won't look." He scratched his head and got a thoughtful look on his face. "And you know, if we do run across a cop we can always try and get information on the ace." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom looked away for a moment. "I don't, nor do I especially like them, but they have had actual access to the case and plenty of modern equipment. They can give us more answers then we have and every piece of information would be useful." He brushed himself off and turned toward th door. "So are you ready to go?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
