Stein had gotten himself a world hop and walked into the Honky Tonk with a curious expression on his face. So far, this world looked pretty similar to his own, though the walled city he glimpsed in the distance had to be the Forbidden City that Himiko had mentioned.

He spotted the girl almost immediately and walked towards her.

"Working hard?" he asked, beaming as he slid into the booth across from her.

She looked up and grinned. Stein was just as she had remembered him from the virus. The bolt was a little odd, but beyond that he would fit right in around the Honky Tonk.

"Hi, Stein! I've just gotten started."

She set aside the English study guide, and pulled out the one on biology. It was clearly a higher level than the other books scattered across the table.

Stein poked through the books curiously, taking a look at what she had. The curriculum at Shibusen wasn't exactly standard, but the kids did learn enough to fit in with the rest of the world, along with their weapons training and soul theory.

"Looks like you've got the materials we'll need," he said with a smile, opening the biology book and leafing through it. "So how come you're studying so hard on your own? They don't have correspondence courses in your world?"

The transporter looked back down at her notes. "They have all of these courses. But only for High School students. I...never really had the chance to go to High School."

This was obviously something she was not proud of. She knew that most of the people on the community were well educated for their worlds, and she was quite the opposite.

Rock was looking around, a backpack full of books in hand, trying to find the person he was suppose to be helping.

Himiko glanced up from her textbooks, and waved. "Over here!"

She stood, and held out a hand. "It's nice to meet you in person and unvirused."

Rock, carefully, shook her hand with a pleasent smile. "Same here! Though that last virus was kinda fun."

Quickly takes a seat. "So how much do you know?"

((Italics Japanese, English is plain))

"I can talk business related stuff pretty well, since speaking English sometimes makes things easier on jobs. But outside of money, cars, and transport-related things, I'm pretty lost." She explains as she sits, before shuffling a few notebooks to find her English one.

"I think I tested into second year English when they first examined me, but I'm not quite sure what that means."
