Smoke on the Wate-- Er, Rooftop
Who: Kiriko, Shin
What: Introductions
Where: Nanakamado; Rooftop
When: Lunchtime.
Why: 'Cause we want to.

The door swung closed behind her and Kiriko narrowed her eyes. Something was Not Right on the roof of Nanakamodo; the scent of cigarette smoke invaded her nostrils and several scarcely-trampled butts littered the gravel, but the path they created led not to the fair-haired delinquent she had expected to meet here, but to a different boy entirely. The tall girl frowned. She hadn't realized anybody else had the audacity to smoke on the roof, so easily discoverable; everybody she knew took their "secret" smoke breaks in their respective bathrooms or in the shelter of some bushes behind the back lot.

Besides, if Reizo wasn't here, where was he? She hadn't seen him harassing anybody on the way upstairs... Either way, like hell she was going to waste her whole lunch hour tracking him down just to to annoy him under the pretense of passing presentation notes along... especially not with some curious new stranger to examine right in front of her.

"Hey," she called to the boy's back, "Has that troublemaker from first year, Shirai, passed through here?"

The answer probably wouldn't be of much use to her, but it was as good an opener as any - from where she was, she couldn't even tell if she'd ever seen this guy. Hopefully he was the type who turned around to answer questions.

Reclining back in what could be called a stretch, Shin gazed up at the sky as though looking for an answer before looking back down at Ikeda.

"It varies," he said finally with a shrug. "I won't sneak you alcohol and I won't give you a cigarette unless you show me you already smoke. I ca- won't help with anything illegal; I'm not about to risk my neck for some kid. No offense," Shin added quickly to placate her in case she was one of the sensitive types like Reizo. "If you need some cash, though, I can hook you up with a job. And if you need an ear, I won't spill your secrets." He rose his hand, pinky jutting out as he grinned. "I promise."

He paused, moving the hand to tap lightly on his chin. "I suppose if you need help with homework I could explain it, but you're probably better off asking one of the people that are signed up to tutor." Again, he paused before shaking his head lightly. "Though I doubt you need help if you scored as high as you did."

Looking at her thoughtfully, Shin wondered what it was she wanted. Did she use Reizo as an excuse to talk to Shin? Or did she simply get side-tracked once she realized who he was?

...tch, because that didn't sound like he thought of himself as a celebrity or anything.

No drugs or alcohol... That was smart at least, she supposed. On the other hand, with the way he was up on the roof smoking and calling Shirai "Reizo-chan," maybe it was surprising that he was deliberately avoiding trouble. Whatever he was doing, it was unconventional. Maybe he was going to make a career in a student counselling place or a job bank or something...? She still wasn't quite certain of what to think.

"How much do you charge, usually?" She kept her tone conversational and somewhat bemused, careful not to allow it to betray her curiousity.

Again, Shin shrugged lightly.

"Depends on what it is and how much effort I have to put into it," he said. "If you just need an ear, I won't charge, but if you're looking for something it'll cost you."

Blowing another bubble, he gazed at her and raised an eyebrow as it popped. Chewing it back into a tightly-packed mass, Shin wondered what was with all the questions. She was avoiding saying what she wanted, instead asking everything about how he operated his little business. She wasn't about to rat him to a teacher or something, was she?

"What is it you need?" he asked. "I won't say anything about it, if that's what you're worried about."
