"...does this clockwork hand follow you... or guide you?"
"...Yeah, I've heard as much. Funny thing," Kyo murmured thoughtfully. "Apparently the old manager just up and walked out of work on his lunch break, looking dazed and distracted. Last time anyone saw him." She grinned sardonically. "Maybe he caught the eye of a virgin-eating butterfly."

She then shrugged. "Dunno and don't care what my old man thinks about adrenaline, but I love it. Don't matter if it's sex or a bike ride or being scared out of your wits because a psychopath in a minivan came within an inch o' runnin' me over ('cause that happened to me last year back in Osaka). I just like a good thrill. I'd probably go batshit insane if I was still stuck at home after school every day."

Hotaru's eyes widened a bit at the mention of the butterfly. Shit. The rumor obviously only got one part of the actual truth right, but even just the mention of the butterfly got Hotaru a little jumpy.

"Well then you picked the right place to live. I'm sure you'll get your fair share of thrills while you're here."
Hotaru chuckled.

"I certainly have..." She mumbled off to the side.

"After living here, a lot of times I wish I could just crawl back in bed and sleep for a whole day."

Kyo just barely caught the last of Hotaru's mutterings, and frowned. A twinge of something stirred somewhere in the region of that muscle that pumps all the blood in one's body--stupid, stupid feeling, the heart had nothing to do with that shit--and she blurted out, "Hey, y'know, if you ever need to vent about stuff, I don't mind listenin'."

Then she internally berated herself. Great, way to go. That kind of thing from a total stranger wasn't endearing, it just sounded like she couldn't mind her own fucking business. Might as well jump to step five and ask how Hotaru liked to finger herself. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

"Trust me," Hotaru began, waving her hand to the side. "It's not something you want to hear about."

Or that I can even tell you about.
She thought to herself. Mum was the word on the whole persona thing after all. Thankfully Kyo wasn't as interested in the 'magic' shit in general like most people were. It was already a load off Hotaru's shoulders.

"Thanks for the offer though I guess." Hotaru added at the end. Didn't want to make the new kid feel too awkward after all. "You can do the same thing with me too ok?"

"Oh. Yeah. Sure. Sorry if it looked like I was butting in or anything."

Yeah, that was about the answer she deserved. Stupid, stupid, stupid--

And then something landed on her nose and she stopped in her tracks, crossing her eyes to look at it. It was a butterfly. Not a golden butterfly, just a regular old butterfly. And it had landed on her nose. Speaking of stupid...! Her cross-eyed look turned comically deadpan.

"I'm not a virgin, y'know," she drawled, flicking her finger through the air next to it. "I'd taste like shit on a stick."

The butterfly went flapping away in fully flight from the vicious vengeance of Kyo Charinko's index finger. Kyo followed it with her eyes as it fluttered down the street, back toward the school.

"'Speak of the devil and he shall appear,' fo' shizzle," Kyo chuckled dryly, resuming her walk. "Ain't every day a butterfly decides to use my face as a landing pad..."

Hotaru almost flipped her shit and smacked Kyo across the face when she saw the butterfly. Thankfully however, it was only a regular butterfly. Or so it seemed at least. That butterfly's timing was a little impeccable for Hotaru.

"Ahaha, yeah." Hotaru laughed, somewhat awkwardly. "I dunno, maybe that makes you lucky."

"Pssh, lucky," grumbled Kyo. "Yeah, whatever."

Well, that would certainly be nice. After losing the only guy in her life that had been worth the bother of commitment, sure, she could use some good luck. Maybe it meant she'd be blessed with magic powers and immortality and while we're at it, eternal youth. Because immortality without eternal youth got really ugly, really fast. Just look at Xenon from Dragon Age, or Melchiah from Legacy of Kain! Yeah, that just goes to show, when you wish for immortality, never forget that "eternal youth" bit, 'cause--wait, what had she been thinking about that'd brought her over to this topic?

"...Been a while since I played any games," she murmured aloud. Well, it had. Kenshin's death hadn't put her in the mood for much in the way of Mass Effect or Darkstalkers, so she hadn't really even touched any of her consoles since arriving in Nagashima. Now that was a tragedy. She had time for booze and time for cock but no time for her PlayStation 3? This must be remedied. This must be remedied right now.

...

Starting tomorrow.

"Anyways... it feels like my stomach's gonna rise up and bathe me in my own acid, so let's get to Wild-duck so I can give the demon its daily peace offering," Kyo said, rubbing at her belly. It had let out a rather loud grumble as if in protest against its owner thinking of anything other than bacony goodness. In her hunger and distraction, of course, Kyo didn't notice her companion's discomfort at all.

"Games?" Hotaru asked. There were several things 'games' could have meant after all. The last time Hotaru had played games of any sort was... well, she couldn't really remember when the last time was actually.

As far as finally getting to the burger place was concerned, Hotaru was a ok with that plan.
"It'll probably get crowded if we don't hurry anyways.

"Oh, I mean--videogames," Kyo said, scratching her nose. "I didn't used to be into them, the folks never let me have anything that wasn't girly, but my--my friend got me a PlayStation a couple o' years ago, so I've been into that ever since. Drives my mom up the wall, like most of what I do with myself." She gestured carelessly at her hair and clothes; mommy dearest hadn't liked the tomboy ensemble much at all. Very traditional, was the old bag, very "girls must be girls and boys must be boys." Back in Osaka, she'd actually had to keep the PlayStation at a friend's house along with most of the clothes she bought for herself. That had been a hassle... but to be herself? Totally worth it.

Wild-duck Burger wasn't that far away now...

"Huh, videogames eh?" Hotaru said with a nod of her head. She didn't personally play any games at all; never really got into it. It was cool that Kyo was so okay with talking about herself like this, especially since she clearly had some breaks with tradition.

"Hey, screw everyone else right? Parents can be a pain in the ass..."
