01 ❖ Action/Video

[snipes]

[ Yoko unfortunately has yet to have an opportunity to get an update on the news. After her appearance in this place, she's stuck to what's been familiar to her for the past few years. While she couldn't exactly adopt all the orphaned children here, she did take care of a fair number of them. Even though it's summer, she's insisted that they should still study and they've been all too eager to do just that. While out though, they are under attack by a psychotic refugee.

Those who are nearby may want to help out with the situation as this woman in a pencil skirt doesn't seem much like a fighter. Neither do the children that are huddled around her legs.

After that attack (whether handled by her own hands or by another), Yoko will use her journal to contact those who may be listening in. ]

Today just proved one thing to me. These children need a roof over their head while their education is my responsibility. [ Propping her head up. ] I'm looking for a stable enough building that can function not only as a school, but a safe haven for those who don't need this violence. A bunker maybe?

[ Her face lights up as though she's just remembered something. ]

Is there anyone who would like to go to school here? [ The smile on her face widens a bit more. ] Also, are there people who would be interested in teaching as well? I wouldn't mind fronting most of the hard work.

[well started out showing a street, but then it's just dark, Constance stuck her communications device back in in her bracer.]

I wouldn't mind helping to teach, wait... where are you right now, because with those lunatics out and about... If you need help getting the kids to safety, the Library should be safe right now. [Sorry it's the only district she knows real well.] I can help escort them there, not sure about the policies for over night...

[snipes]

You'd help escort them? [ As for staying overnight: ] Well, let's not worry about that other part. I'm sure I could talk someone into letting them stay in my room.

[ As well as the rooms of a few others there. Yoko's got a man here who owes her big time. ]

[alchemic_waves]

Sure, just give me your location. [She pulls it out and smiles at her.] I'm pretty handy with my Alchemy. Just make sure the kids don't decide to watch the show if there is a fight.

I'd have to move my science stuff out of the way but some kids can stay in mine until more permanent dwellings are procured.

[snipes]

It's a challenge to get them to not watch, but I'd do my best. As for where we are... we're close to the Grand Library district.

[ Bringing one of the children closer to her form. ]

We should be alright for a bit so please take your time.

[alchemic_waves]

Should be there in about five minutes just stay down. I'll let you know I'm close.

[About six minutes later Constance is making her way down the street, tow orbs of water in hand in case of an attack.]

[snipes]

[ It seems the one that had been causing trouble may have fled or left by the hand of someone else. For now, it's just Yoko surrounded by a bunch of young children, the woman comforting them with a mixture of headpats and hugs. ]

Hello! Hello! We're over here!

[alchemic_waves]

[Constance heard the voice and dropped the water, letting it seep into the ground as she waved.]

Everyone okay? [Hey really kids involved of course she'd worry some were hurt. She knelt so she was the height of some of the kids.] Bet that was really scary wasn't it? It'll be okay, we'll get you kids somewhere safe.

[snipes]

[ The orphans themselves do seem a bit shook up, but with two adults present, they should be starting to gain a bit of courage. At least Yoko hopes that as she watches the other woman. ]

They're alright. I wouldn't let any harm come to them if I could help it and trust me, I could.

[ Flashing a smile. ] Think you're up for the challenge of walking this group with me somewhere safe?

[alchemic_waves]

[Constance nods to Yoko.] Oh I don't doubt it. [She smiles and looks at the kids.]

I don't know you you kids aren't going to give us trouble are you? [She stood holding her hand out for one of them. She was more than ready for the challenge.]

[returnmyrice]

[How does a dynamic entry sound? Because there's suddenly an eleven-year-old in a gi kicking the refugee in the chest and sending him flying backwards and skidding along the ground.]

[snipes]

See children, kicking is only acceptable when it's against a bad guy.

[ Just covering the eyes of one of the younger girls with her hands. ]

[returnmyrice]

[Gohan starts to relax...but then the refugee climbs up.]

What?! No way! That should have knocked him out cold!

[snipes]

Out cold? [ She shouldn't really be surprised judging by how powerful people are here, but Yoko does come from a place where people get back up. ] Maybe he'll just go away.

[ Yoko will try to shoo him now. ]

[returnmyrice]

[Nope. No good. He runs back at the group. But then Gohan's form seems to blur and vanish...and then appear behind the guy, delivering a chop to the back of his neck. The refugee collapses to the ground, unconscious. He's tough, but when a Super Saiyan wants you unconscious, it's going to happen.]

[snipes]

[ Yoko will step away from the children only to force the body up over onto his back, looking down at him. ]

What is the matter with him?

[returnmyrice]

I don't know. I'm hoping someone around here can find out.

[snipes]

Find out? We could just wake him up and ask.

[returnmyrice]

I don't know if that's safe. He might wake up the same way. We should take him someplace where he can't harm anybody.

[snipes]

That's right. I wouldn't want the children to have to witness an interrogation with a new individual. [ With a bright smile, she'll tack on: ] I don't know what you might ask him.

[returnmyrice]

...Um. I don't know, either. I'm sure someone does, though.

[snipes]

Why don't you take this fellow to my room and leave him tied up? I'll return and question him on my own later. I have to get the children somewhere safe after all.

[returnmyrice]

Shouldn't we take him to the authorities? I'm sure there's a jail here.

[snipes]

What good would that do? We wouldn't be able to talk to him if he's locked up.

[returnmyrice]

Why not? People in prison get interrogated all the time.

[snipes]

Yeah, but they'll do it themselves. [ Waving a hand. ] Whatever, I'm not all that curious. Besides, he didn't seem like he was up for chitchat.

[returnmyrice]

Yeah. I'm not sure ropes would hold him, either. It took me two hits to knock him out, and his energy is too high for a refugee.

[snipes]

Huh, you're right. I wonder what we could do to keep him from attacking others.

[returnmyrice]

That's why I think we should get him put in jail.

[oforder]

I only require one room for privacy in my home. The foyer is large enough for the rest.

[snipes]

Your home? [ Curiously said. ] You don't live in one of the designated areas in the district?

[oforder]

I live in the deeps. It is underground, and very safe. However, I only require one room for myself.

[snipes]

I guess I've got to come check it out sometime. Are you feeling up to a guest later on tonight?

[oforder]

A guest?

[ Wilhelm nods, but remains as stoic as ever. ]

Certainly.

[snipes]

Then it appears we'll have a discussion of this matter much sooner than I thought. Should I bring something to eat or drink when I do come by for a visit?

[oforder]

[ If Wilhelm didn't know any better, he'd think this is starting to sound like a date. Bringing his almost-empty wine glass to his lips, he nodded, as the crescendo of his record began picking up. ]

You may bring whatever you like. I have no preference.

[Problem 1: Kiritsugu wants his children to keep going to school, even here.]

[Problem 2: He doesn't want them to be away from him for large amounts of time unprotected.]

[There's a solution to that, but there's just one little problem. 3:]

Don't have a lot of experience teaching.

[snipes]

Do you have any experience in anything else? [ Body guard, maintenance, cooking... There's a long list in her mind. ] So far it's been me, so any help would be appreciated.

[maguskiller]

[Demolitions, ballistics, manipulation...]

Languages.

[snipes]

Languages?

[ It doesn't sound that bad really. ]

I'll take it. Consider yourself hired, um, I'm afraid I didn't get your name either.

[ Yoko's no good at this sort of thing. ]

[maguskiller]

Japanese. German. English.

Kiritsugu Emiya. Good to meet you. And yours?

[snipes]

I guess it'd be neat for them to learn another language. They can speak in code and confuse enemies when they grow up. Well, that's if they grow up in this environment. It's depressing to think that these kids will have to fight when they're old enough.

[ It really bothers he, but what can she do but prepare them? ]

I'm Yomako.
