[h2]Misaka Mikoto[/h2]

Really, Mikoto was kind of surprised that so many people had shown up to calm her down. But it looked like, in spite of that initial perverted reaction, Kuroko had quickly backed off and started to try and clean herself up. Had all the rejection finally sunk in for the other girl for once? But still, she'd made that perverted comment, and-

The static crackled louder and the power rose the moment something came in contact with her. Before there could be more then the slightest static shock, Mikoto immediately clamped down on her electrical output, the static fading immediately as she stepped away. Whoever had poked her had done something, something to... to...

... It was the older girl? For a few moments, Mikoto stood stock still. Interfering with her power like that... The third-ranked level five wasn't sure what had happened or how it had, but the only conclusion she could make as to why her electricity had suddenly became so much more powerful then she was intending was that it had coincided with the prodding from the other girl. If she had went ahead and shocked Kuroko, it wouldn't have been the reprimanding blast she usually used to try and make the younger girl back off. It could have seriously hurt her friend, and the newcomer could easily have gotten a much nastier shock then the one she did from contact. There was a moment of sharp, unpleasant guilt at the thought.

"... Kuroko, I'm going to buy you something to wear, okay? You can't go around like that," Mikoto's gaze was cast downward, but she swiftly looked up and turned to face the older girl who had prodded her.

"Oi," she started, fixing her gaze on the girl, "... I don't know what you did, but it could have seriously hurt you... And Kuroko. What were you thinking?"

[h2]Saten Ruiko[/h2]

She was going to meet up with Uiharu... somewhere around here, right? It seemed like the right place. Ruiko glanced around, and... wait, was that some girl in gothloli staring at an alleyway for some reason. Realizing the possibilities, Ruiko couldn't help but immediately hurry over to her. After all, what was in the alleyways?

The ghost, of course!

"Hey, hey!" Ruiko said as she approached, stopping beside the smaller girl and peering into the alleyway as well, "Are you looking for the alleyway stalker? I hear he can pass through walls, 'cause he's a ghost, so it's really hard to spot him unless he's trying to get you!"
