[There is a silver-haired girl kneeling in the gardens, wearing a sunhat, and gently patting down the soil. It's impossible to hear her from afar, but the movements of her lips suggest she's speaking... to the plants and earth, it seems, as there's really no one else there for her to be speaking to.
Care to give her company?]
Care to give her company?]
[Good! Because then, he might be the only person aside from herself that can stomach this meal!]
Date: 2013-06-11 03:09 am (UTC)[This seems to be one of the only things she's not passive about. That tone is practically demanding. Apparently, food is very serious business to her.
She fishes out two meal tickets and holds them out.]
I already have two meal tickets for Mapo Tofu, so it's okay.
I was going to eat with the Student Council Vice President, but he said he wasn't feeling well because he caught the stomach flu, so he passed on the offer... which is a rather surprising anomaly, admittedly, because nobody can get sick in this world.
[As convenient and patently unbelievable as all of that sounds, there is nothing in her manner of speaking that suggests she realizes he was just trying to weasel out of it. Who's worse, the one who came up with the unbelievable lie or the one who readily believed it?]

Fine. I'll come back for these. [ And he sets aside his collection of vegetables, dusting off his hands in the process, because carrying them around with no pack to stuff them all into is not a fun prospect. (He doesn't juggle well.) ]

Date: 2013-06-26 01:09 pm (UTC)... you won't leave without the vegetables, right? [Now, she's trying to gauge the length of his stay, because his very presence here does not follow the usual rules governing this world. Maybe instead of lingering regrets, the only things keeping him here are potatoes and carrots? It was silly, but the best she could come up with so far.]

Date: 2013-06-26 05:01 pm (UTC)He only stops with the tourist-style goggling when she addresses him, again. ]
No. [ Not if he can help it, at least. He doesn't know the rules of this place any more than he does the rules of his temporary stay, and it's just as likely he'll disappear without warning as it must've been that he appeared at all.
But he's planning to make an attempt, just the same. ]
...I didn't catch your name. [ And if she's buying him lunch, it's probably prudent to know. ]

Date: 2013-06-26 05:31 pm (UTC)When he asks her name, she stops walking, looking surprised at the question.]
It's Tachibana.
... I don't think you told me yours either.

Date: 2013-06-26 06:02 pm (UTC)[She carries on to exchange the tickets for hot meals. Two plates full of cubes of tofu, doused in a thick red sauce that's two different kinds of spicy.
The cafeteria is nearly empty, Cloud and Kanade being the only ones there, aside from staff (all adults, probably NPCs, they don't give the newcomer a second glance). The only other things that might attract attention in the place was a series of brightly coloured posters plastered to the wall, advertising a live concert for something called "GIRLS DEAD MONSTER," presumably, as the name's emblazoned across the top of the posters in bright pink.]
