Where the hell was he? The tall, young-looking, and very lost individual would look around, unsure of how to get where he was going... Wait, where was he going again? He reached into a bag of chips he was carrying, popping one into his mouth with a crunch crunch before spotting himself in the glass reflection of a shop or something. He'd unshoulder his backpack and pull out a notebook, opening to a page which had two pictures paperclipped to it. One picture was of himself, and one was of a red-haired guy with fairly similar facial structure. He looked from the image to his reflection and back a few times before nodding in satisfaction. "Okay, so we haven't changed our appearance... Which means we're not running..." He would stuff the notebook back into the bag, which was chock full of snack cakes, sandwiches, box lunches, the works. He would then zip it back up before pursing his lips in thought.
"I can't believe we're lost, Kane. Just... Just ask someone where we are."
"We could do that, Kiseichuu. But without knowing where we were going, what good does that do...? And you know I'm not good with people..."
Kane would look around desperately once more, but resigned himself to just wandering for the time being. Hopefully he runs into someone that knows him, or can help. Meanwhile, he continues to snack as he walks, finishing the chips and swapping to some jerky.

I'M NOT IN LOVE don't have the time Call it a crime to find everything I need in me. Tall, dark, and in a good mood, Torami scoped the lively street for some good shops. She was rather new to this town, having just moved here for school, so of course she needed some new local spots. As a general minimalist, she didn't even buy much. It was good to see what was around, though. So here she was, dressed in a dark crop top with a graphic of cat eyes on it, a mid thigh-length denim skirt, and comfortable black platforms. Comparatively, it was a rather casual day for her. She noticed a guy with a rather odd demeanor about him; mature-looking, yet with a terrible expression, like that of a stray. While she went on her way, walking towards him, coincidentally, she debated asking if he needed something. If he was lost, she did have a map preemptively pulled up on her phone, in case she herself lost her way. With a quiet grumble, she finally gave in to herself. "Hmm, excuse me sir, is something wrong?" She tried to be as polite as possible, considering how intrusive the question could come across. Curse her good will, the lad just really reminded her of the stray animals her home in Nagasaki usually housed. As an avid people-watcher, she did also take note of his snacking, assuming it was a coping habit, maybe? He did seem anxious.Chimaera ### purple = speech italics = thoughts MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

It all seemed like a lovely day to go snooping around the neighborhood. There wasn't any homework to be done and the neighbor girl was off with friends for a day trip via train. That left a certain odd UA student time to pursue a rumor that had bubbled to the surface recently, one which had immediately raised a mental alert when she'd come across it. For they spoke in hushed tones (okay, more like normal indoor voices.. but this is dramatic!) of an establishment which had on its shelves the rarest of rare treats. Something that no amount of aimless wandering had led Aoi to in the past, but which her heart yearned for. One might even say it was the holy grail of drinks - the elusive, semi-mythical L size barley flavored soda. Most soft drinks were far too sweet for her liking, but this one was just the right amount of savory to quench her thirst. Well, other than her thirst for justice but that was neither here nor there; the point was that some convenience store or other store in the area had that larger size barley soda. And the as yet unnamed heroine was going to hunt it down if she had to go through an army of villainous minions to do it.
Or at least that had been the plan. Yet as the brunette walked along with eagle eyes scouting for any place she had not yet inspected for her quarry, she felt a little out of place. After all this wasn't too far from her school, and the clothes she was wearing made her look like a middle school kid. A knee length pink toned plaid skirt with some frill at the hem, girlish powder blue top with flared sleeves and her typical side ponytail combined with her small frame to give the impression of someone younger than a high school student. The shoulder bag in the shape of a stylized kaiju's head didn't help matters any either. What if her classmates saw her out here like that? If only she'd planned this out more and worn something more mature.. or heck, taken on her 'mom' form for this outing so nobody would recognize her. But alas, she had been in such a hurry that she hadn't considered things too much and.. was that guy walking down the street munching on snacks? Well then! Someone who had that much food on him must have stocked up somewhere, and therefore might know where the legendary large barley soda might be sold!
As she walked in his direction to ask, another girl came up and began speaking to the man. Boy was that a tall, tall girl.. must be a full foot taller than Aoi no less! Aoi stepped closer and heard the girl asking the man if he were all right, and that made the short girl smile. Another concerned citizen just trying to help out someone who might be in need! Maybe a second person helping out could ensure the man got whatever assistance he needed, even if that assistance were just directions or change for the train. And obviously a grateful man would then offer a reward of information about certain stores in the area.. but wait, he seemed confused about his surroundings by the expression he had. All hope of getting the prized info was lost, replaced by Aoi's desire simply to be of assistance to others.
"If you need help, I'm sure we'd both be happy to offer it!" she chimed in cheerfully, as if she knew the other girl and was simply just catching up with her. In truth it was just a way to try and pitch in without seeming too stalker-y for anyone's liking.

The poor guy nearly jumps out of his skin. He turns to face the now two girls who had approached him. His face now slightly tinged red in embarrassment, he nods slowly, then again much quicker. "O-oh! Oh how kind..." He gives a soft smile, looking around again. "Well... Unfortunately we- I. Unfortunately I seem to be lost... And I don't remember where I was going either..." He rubs the back of his head sheepishly before popping some more jerky into his mouth. He chews for a second before looking between the two. Then down to himself. Then to the other two. "You're so small..." He says, seemingly fascinated by Aoi's size in comparison to his own and Torami's. "Adorable."
"Bite size."
"No, no. You hush. They're being nice." He chides Kiseichuu before realizing neither of them heard him and he now looks much more odd than initially. "Ah, sorry about that.... Anyways..." He finishes off the jerky, taking a small break from snacking, to pull his notebook out again. "My name is Kane. Thank you... For checking on me." He looks at a few pages of his notebook for a moment... "Hm... No addresses...." He seems to read something for a moment. "I don't like fire... How odd. I would think most people don't..." He then realizes he had completely spaced out on the two people who were trying to help him.
"O-oh! Sorry! Again!" Another embarrassed flush. "I don't talk to people often... I don't think... Thank you again."

I'M NOT IN LOVE don't have the time Call it a crime to find everything I need in me. Torami exhaled from her nose briefly, somewhat caught off guard when another- very small- lass also approached. She did smile, though, and bow her head to this person who seemed to be much younger than she was. Then returning her focus to her original target, playing along with the little girl's attempt to take part, she listened to his plight. Lost, huh? It was exactly as she had predicted. Maybe she was getting too good at this? Picking up on his odd way of speaking to himself, her brow perked, yet she merely made a note of it. He seemed a few crayons short of a box, but it didn't have to be a problem, so it wouldn't. Smiling warmly and extending a hand, Torami introduced herself. "Its a pleasure to meet you, Mister Kane. I am Torami Wakui, now-" She took out her phone, opening it to the map. Turning her body so that she could easily show him, Tora pointed out their current location. "We're here, its a pretty popular shopping area, from what I can tell. Maybe something rings a bell?" After showing off bus lines and street names in the area, she would look to Kane, hoping he would realize anything helpful. At this point, she had nearly completely disregarded the other miss' presence, but perhaps she, too, could offer some help. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Aoi would have been lying had she said her height being pointed out hadn't been off putting. Not that it wasn't something she had any control over; heck she could have just taken the mom form and been considerably taller than her usual diminutive size. It was still a sore point for her though, and it didn't help to have people remind her that as Aoi she was tiny. The saving grace here was that the guy who'd so oddly reminded everyone of her height was certainly a bit odd. Likely he didn't fully realize the weight those words carried for a tiny girl like herself, so she was willing to cut him some slack there. She did frown a little when the tall girl went about jumping in with her phone at the total disregard for her presence. Maybe she wasn't trying to ignore Aoi's presence, but it was hard not to get overshadowed when you were under five feet tall.
Still undeterred by all of that, Aoi stepped around Torami's side and studied the odd man while the girl introduced herself. Not only had he been talking to himself, he was also apparently reading notes from a pad to remind him of tings.. about himself? Well, everyone had their own quirkiness, so she was willing to just write it off and try her best to help out. After all he wasn't from around here and had no idea where he was going! Torami didn't seem to be local herself, judging by the fact that she wasn't sure what was in the area. Which meant that the experienced hand and fount of knowledge was none other than Aoi Sakurauchi! This realization brought a smile to the short girl's face as she found some footing from which to establish herself as helpful. No way were these two going to see her as just some little kid who was just tagging along!
"It is a pretty popular area for shopping and there are a few places for food and drink too," Aoi remarked helpfully, "By the way, I'm UA Academy 2nd Year Student Aoi Sakurauchi, at your service! My school's nearby, so I know a bit about this area and what's in it!"
Then she looked up at Kane, "So what's the last thing you remember doing before getting lost around here? Maybe that can help us figure out what you were going to do?"

Unsure of what to do with the offered hand, Kane daintily takes one of Torami's fingers in two of his own and gives a small up and down motion. That was right, right? Once he was presented with a map, he looked over it for a long moment before shaking his head. "I-I... Uh... Think I came here to get a present?" He touched the pastel blue hair clip in his hair. "This isn't mine... I think someone gave it to me? So I want something to give back if I find them again...? That sounds right." But at the mention of food, Kane's stomach gives a light growl.
"Lunch time."
"Oh, that's a good idea..." He pats himself down, eventually finding a wallet and looking inside. He had some cash, nice. He also had a little note where one would normally keep their ID that read "If Kane lost, return to Chihiro Takenaka." He read it and furrowed his brow. "Chihiro..." He mumbled slowly. "Sounds familiar... Kind of... But lunch first. Gotta eat, gotta eat." He nodded quickly. "You two can come with if you like? I think I have enough money... Aoi, right? You know this place. What would you recommend?" He had no idea if they would take him up on the offer, but as long as food was involved he was happy. As if to emphasize that point, he took out some gummies and popped a few into his mouth. Not filling, but tasty for sure.
"Don't let your guard down, Kane..."
"What do you mean? We're in a busy area, it'd be pretty dumb if they tried to hurt me. Besides, they're helping us." He looked at the other two with a smile. "They seem alright. We've been helped before. I think. Gotta make friends sometime."
"Not that we'll remember them after long."
"Friends are friends whether you remember them or not, Kiseichuu." Kane, stop talking to yourself in front of them.

I'M NOT IN LOVE don't have the time Call it a crime to find everything I need in me. Kane's realization of what he might have been doing was helpful, at least. But he didn't seem to get much from the map, which troubled her, because she lacked many other resources to try to help him. When the little girl- Aoi, apparently- chimed in, Tora was more than pleased. Hopefully she could offer some help. Additionally, she was amused to hear that they went to the same school. "Ah, I go to UA as well. I'm a first year, though. Pleasure to meet you, Miss Sakurauchi." She noted, almost wishing that one note irked the older student, due to height. Albeit unrelated, Torami did chime in with the mention of food. If Kane was offering they eat, she would definitely take part. Of course, she'd pay for herself, but she thought that perhaps sitting somewhere less open would lessen the lad's anxiety and help him focus. "I think eating somewhere would be great!" Said she, smiling at the two, lingering on Kane a bit as she began having his... not-so-inner dialogue. At this point, she was mostly disregarding it. It didn't seem like he felt threatened by them, at least, which was pleasing considering he seemed so socially anxious. Boy, would it be difficult to help someone who was afraid of you.
Now looking to Aoi, she awaited any eatery suggestions she may have, considering Torami knew little of the places here. It wasn't often that she ate out, anyway. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Getting the validation of being an older UA student probably wasn't something that Aoi should've been quite so proud of. She didn't want to be seen as a little kid in this most comfortable form, so the short girl relished in being referred to as 'Miss' Sakurauchi. That's right, she was a year more experienced in the ways of the world and of learning to use her powers! Even if her powers weren't going to win any fights anytime soon if that fight were on anything resembling fair footing. Those things aside she was now in the position of being the knowledgeable older girl with local knowledge that could help them help this odd gentleman. An odd gentleman who looked like he was indeed having a conversation with himself about the relative safety of staying with them around here. Well, maybe it was just a stressful day for the guy - everyone had those days where it seemed like you had to talk things out with yourself to sort through them right?
"Well, there are a few places around here.. I think eating's probably a good idea too," she replied, tapping her chin thoughtfully, "How about a place where you can get a good value for your money? Something that's filling but simple.. and yet has a big amount of variety! Yeah, that would work!"
She then looked down the street with a hand over her eyes as if gazing at something far off in the distance. There was certainly a nice place exactly along those lines, but she wasn't totally sure where exactly the door to the place was. Honestly she spent more of her time in the school building or on her way to the train station than shopping for a good lunch deal around here. Finding an affordable place to eat was important since she wasn't sure just how much money Kane had on him, and it would be embarrassing if they got their food only to realize he didn't have enough to cover the cost. Torami being a student further compounded the need. Both of them were looking to her to save the day, and she was going to her darndest to get them to a good, cheap place to eat without making their stomachs unhappy. Finally she spotted it at the end of the next block - a wooden sign hanging from the front awning which advertised the beef bowl restaurant chain she fell back on for all her quick fix meal needs.
"Do beef bowls sound good? I highly recommend that place down there!" she began leading the way before getting an answer, looking over her shoulder to ask Kane, "So what do you do when you're not wandering around this neighborhood? You seem like a very.. thoughtful type!"

Kane tapped his fingers together, giving a small smile when they both agreed on eating. "Good, good. Food is good." He nodded, despite having plenty of snacks on his back he was definitely ready for a real meal. At the mention of beef bowls, he looked towards where she was pointing almost like an excited dog ready to fetch. "Beef bowl sounds good. Try not to eat the bowl this time." Kane that is not healthy for you.
He almost ran off, but slowed himself down so he wasn't bowling over the other two or dragging them along. "Thoughtful?" He paused for a moment, tapping his chin. "I only remember ever wandering. Running. I don't know how long I've been here... But my backpack is over half full, which means I wasn't lost here long. I think." He chuckled. "I like doing things for people who do things for me." He tugged at the long sleeve of his baggy shirt, he almost looked childish. "If you two need help with something, I would be glad to. Okay?"
They were nearing the food place Aoi had pointed out to Kane and Torami, the smell was starting to hit Kane's nose, causing his stomach to rumble. In an effort to help sate it, he took out a rice ball and ate it in no time at all.
"Mmmm.... That smells wonderful..."
Kane only nodded to the voice in his head, but he reflexively reached out to both of his new "friends" to make sure they didn't get separated.

I'M NOT IN LOVE don't have the time Call it a crime to find everything I need in me. Torami rose her eyebrows; beef bowls did sound splendid. It wasn't often that she ate something so rich, usually her diet consisted of eggs, rice, vegetables and coffee. As they hastened towards the restaurant, she tuned in to Kane's rambling. Despite being an oddball, he seemed compassionate enough. "I'll keep that in mind, Mister Kane." She bowed her head shallowly, continuing towards the beef bowl place. In this time, Torami spaced out a bit. What was she doing? Ah. "Speaking of which-- if you ever need help with anything, you could call me if you'd like?" She said, hoping that it wasn't too intrusive. From what she'd seen, though, he didn't seem like the type to mind.
Then, as Kane extended a hand towards her, she simpered and drew away from it. It wasn't that she disliked him, but clearly she felt that she didn't need to hold it. Instead, Tora only pushed forward towards the shop. Upon arriving, she opened the door, holding it open for her newfound companions. The warm smell coming from the eatery's interior was so enticing that she was really looking forward to eating at this point. Even though she'd planned to pay for her meal from the beginning, she'd have to at this point; who knew how much she would end up eating. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

The proposal of a simple beef bowl restaurant went over so well that Aoi felt quite vindicated in her choice. Maybe other people - people in her own family even - might have chosen something a bit more upscale, but Aoi was much more of mind to do something practical when multiple hungry people had gathered. Nobody here had questioned her statement about being a second year student at UA either, and that made her feel like she was getting the sort of respect that commanded. And speaking of commanding things, the scent of beef being prepared commanded her attention within the welcoming confines of the restaurant. Aoi followed her nose inside, smiling in anticipation of the feast to come from this venture and totally happy to have company that seemed more or less pleasant enough.
Once she was inside the short girl directed her pair of companions over to an open table over by the front window. Not that this was necessarily the best seat in the joint, more that it was the closest table to them which didn't have anyone sitting at it. The sooner they had their seats the sooner they would be able to decide what they wanted and then the sooner they'd get the food itself. What had her more excited than the scent of food drifting in from the kitchen was the complimentary drink they offered in pitchers at every table. Not simply water - any place could offer that - but rather barley tea, which though quite cheap for the restaurant to purchase was still a treat for Aoi. Not quite the soda she'd set out in search of today but she was willing to take the trade off of tea for now. The tiny girl took her seat and cheerfully offered menus to the other two before she continued her side of their conversation.
"Yeah, I totally think you're thoughtful! I mean, talking through your thoughts like that shows that you consider what you're thinking enough to need to work it out... well, um, anyway! If you need any additional help ever, I'm very willing to pitch in as well. Even if it doesn't seem like much, Aoi Sakurauchi will be there to pitch in!" she promised before gazing at the menu.. and then immediately blinking in shock. Right there in the drink menu they had a new arrival - the barley soda she'd been hunting for! The girl had starry eyes as she tried to refocus on picking out a beef bowl to order, "After all, if everyone's helping each other out the world becomes a better place. At least that's what my homeroom teacher told us the first day of classes.."
"Oh! So you just choose the size of bowl you want and you get some things on the side with it. It's a great value for the amount of food you get, no matter how big your appetite is!" she promised with what seemed to be an endless source of energy, "So Kane-san, do you typically load up on snacks before heading out somewhere? And Wakui-san, what brings you to the neighborhood on a day off of school?" It was clear something had her a bit more hyper than before, as her practically bouncing in her seat could attest.

When neither companion took his offered hands, he gave a small frown and drew them back to his chest, where they would sit all the way until they sat down at the table and began looking at the menu. That was also when more talking began to happen.
"So how are you gonna explain me?" Kiseichuu snickered in his mind as Kane listened to the other two.
"I'm getting to that." Kane grumbled, before giving a small smile back to the others. "I appreciate your offers..." Quick as he could he had pulled his notepad from his bag and wrote down their names before he forgot. Right next to each one he wrote "Nice Student Lady. Found me food." Before looking up at them and smiling again. "My... Thoughts out loud aren't really... Voluntary? Kiseichuu takes up my brain space...." He gives a chuckle, nodding at the menu for a moment and checking prices with what he had in his wallet. Oh he had plenty to cover all three of them, but that was basically all his funds... "No more for a gift if I pay for all three, huh..." He muttered out loud with a frown, but smiled at the other two as if he hadn't just said that out loud.
"I need to eat a lot lot to stay full." A combination of explanation to Aoi and his intentions on ordering. "Always bring snacks so I don't get hungry. Me hungry is bad. Very bad." He nodded vigorously and smiled again, taking out another rice ball and eating it quickly as they waited. He was going to get the biggest bowl he could. The sides were welcome, and he would most likely get as much of a variety as he could, but rice was a must-have. The barley tea was very welcome and he most definitely had a cup while he waited. "Ooh, tasty... Wait what's this place called..." He brought out his notebook again to write out where he was. Finishing it with "Beef Bowl. Food."

I'M NOT IN LOVE don't have the time Call it a crime to find everything I need in me. With pleasure did Torami take a seat at the table, frankly quite excited to eat. The warm and comfortable atmosphere of the quaint restaurant paired with the savory smell of the meat made for a thoroughly whetted appetite. At their seat, Tora quietly ordered the barley soda which she would sip on while perusing the menu and listening closely to Aoi and Kane's conversation. Her interest piqued when Kane mentioned a Kiseichuu character. Curious. Just before she mentioned something, however she felt the need to ease Kane. "Don't worry, I will be paying for myself." Although her speech was monotone, she did offer a small smile in the boy's direction. The orchid-raven haired girl then nodded in response to Aoi's note of the menu, although she thought stating the obvious was a tad redundant. Promptly did Tora put down her menu, having made her decision. Just as planned, she would order something rather large. "Hmm? Oh, I was looking at shops in the area. Familiarizing, you could say." Answered Torami plainly. It was honest. She had to scope out the fashion 'climate' of this new town; it was always fun to find quirky trends. MADE BY VEL OF GS + ADOX 2.0

Kane would look up at Torami as she spoke, giving a small smile in return. "Shopping is fun, yes? I don't go much, but I had to for this. It's important to be nice to people who are nice to you. Someone taught me that. I think." Kane looked between the two girls before setting his menu down. He would order as soon as possible, he didn't like having his snacks put away, but he didn't want to be rude so he stopped eating them for now.
"It definitely wasn't something we learned through surviving."
"No, but these people were nice too. But if they want to pay for their food then okay. I'll thank them some other way eventually."
"If you remember them."
"Of course I will. I wrote them down..." He would give another small smile. "Sorry. Kiseichuu is chatty today. He doesn't like people much... We don't generally have good luck with them." He would tap his fingers on the table for a moment, trying to think of a conversation topic. "Oh! You said you go to school around here, right? That must be fun... Having other people around you to talk to. Be friends with. I don't remember ever having that. I'm sort of like..."
"A stray cat."
"A stray cat, yes. Or a dog, I guess. Stray animal." He scratched lightly at his sleeve, rubbing at his arm underneath.
