Thread: Ansatsu Kyōshitsu: Bye Bye Yesterday (Athene & East)

Megu Kataoka Rinka Hayami Megu's heart couldn't help but pound quickly. Ever since graduating from class 3-E, she hadn't really spoken, let alone invited, anyone over to her place. Then again, today was proving o be a day of firsts. Despite being hit really hard with a horrible case of PTSD from the incident at work, he had managed to meet Chiba and Rinka again. It actually was nice to see them it just would have been much better sans the explosion. And now ... Nagisa was on his way. Crap, crap, crap! Come on, gotta be something you can wear! A lot of her other outfits were looking just a bit too bold, particularly for a reunion with a classmate and friend of hers. As she began relaying her address, something finally came into view. Perfect! she thought, internally sighing in relief. See you soon, Nagisa! Megu deftly shrugged the yukata off, replacing it with a new skirt and blouse combination. She spent the next five or so minutes playing the waiting game. Would he really show up? Megu was actually hoping so tonight would likely be one of the few nights she didn't want to be alone. Not for all of the evening, anyway. Her head whipped around as she pushed herself off the couch upon hearing a light but audible knock. She first snuck a peek through her peep hole, ensuring it was the guest she invited. After seeing a confirmed 'yes', Megu opened her door, revealing herself in the new outfit she got clad in. Hey. Thanks for coming over. Please, come in. The apartment itself was a rather simple one bedroom residence nothing overly fancy, but it still had all the essential rooms for a person to live. Megu would close the door behind Nagisa after he entered. The first thing she couldn't help but notice was the poor guy still hadn't grown much ... if at all. The second was the extra sake bottle in his hand. ... I told you I had one already, silly. But ... thanks anyway. Well ... let's get to work I suppose, huh? Turning on her feet, the ex-flight attendant grabbed two sake cups from a nearby cupboard. Keeping one held in each hand, she led Nagisa into her living room, sitting down in front of a modest wooden table . So ummm ... it didn't click until after I hung up but .... you said you quit? Why? What happened? While waiting for an answer of some kind, she placed one of the cups nearby herself while the other was set close to Nagisa. I know. I meant it though for once, I'm legitimately happy to be at the office doing paper work. This was .... probably one of the worst messes we've seen. Rinka turned, taking one last look around. She wanted to ensure before departing she hadn't forgotten to do anything. When it appeared the answer was no, she put her handkerchief away and threw the gloves into a nearby trash can. Oh don't worry, she quickly reassured her partner, I didn't intend to visit her tonight. She already ... endured more than enough. I'm far more than fine allowing her some reprieve. Oddly, her own train of thought was similar to Megu's she was happy to see another familiar face. The circumstances just had been very unfortunate. The two would soon enter their van. Rinka would happily pull her rifle off from her back and set it down on the floor. A low groan resounded as she leaned back, cracking her back while buckling herself in. Her head plopped against the headrest as she relaxed. This would be one of the few times she could have a chance to do just that, after all. However, when Ryunosuke spoke and broke the silence, her head turned to look right at him. The question caused her to raise an eyebrow .... and lightly snickered. Who do you think you're asking that question to, huh? Goddamn, Chiba, we're barely in our twenties. Hell no! It'd get too boring to just live on an island after a bit. Her head shook from side to side as she playfully shoved his shoulders. ... But with that being said and done, I am glad you ended up joining me and becoming a professional assassin, also. This job definitely wouldn't be half as interesting if you weren't around. Nor as reliable, I doubt. You were one of the next best gun users in 3-E so ... thanks for continuing to endure being beside me. It means quite a bit, actually.
