[h2]Misaka Mikoto[/h2]

Mikoto paused for a moment. Child Error did sound kind of bad, but it was in reference to the circumstances that left them without anyone to turn to rather then anything about the children themselves. Still, it was kind of a bad-sounding term, to say the least. Regardless, the gala was to help them, so it was not really any problem. And that gekota scarf... well...

However, there was a moment of confusion when Annette told her to dodge. Mikoto certainly hadn't registered anything unusual approaching at all, so why would she say something like that?

"Eh? Why?" asked Mikoto, looking back over her shoulder in confusion. No, there was nothing there...

And then her roommate abruptly appeared and latched onto her, sending the both of them to the ground.

"See? See?" Ruiko grinned, turning to face her friend and the gothloli girl as she headed into the alleyway. Just as she had thought, this one was pretty much empty. Part of her was slightly disappointed about the total lack of any weird hints of a ghost, but the rest was pleased due to the fact that, well, they weren't getting attacked. So there was absolutely nothing to worry about, really. "I knew there wasn't going to be anything down this way, it was too cleared-out. The ghost only goes for darker alleyways."
