[1. Phone: after school]

It's so boring studying here all by myself. It would be so much more fun if someone would join me. Especially if that person is interesting or cute. Oh, my name's Hiling and I'm in the library. I'll be waiting~

[2. Action: library][Hiling can be found with a table to herself, textbooks stacked nearby. She flips

Library

[causticat]

[Mogget hadn't actually heard the call, but he had been exploring and happened to come across the library. Wary, as he knew that libraries could be dangerous places, he padded inside... heedless of the drone librarian trying to shoo the small white cat back outside again.]

[prideinbattle]

[Hiling immediately loses interest in what she was doing to watch the cat. It's almost as if she's never seen one up close before.]

Oooh!

[causticat]

[...]

Yes?

[prideinbattle]

[That can't be a real cat... Must be a robot or something. Which is even cooler! Whatever he is, he's cute~]

Are you here to help me study?

[so_misfortunate]

Hey! [ Touma calls from a nearby table. He has a few math books in front of him, and one other about driving tips. Attempts at concentrating have been foiled by the occasional sound of Hiling tossing her books away. ] Some people are trying to get work done, you know.

[prideinbattle]

[She glances over to acknowledge his presence. That tone is not welcome. No one talks to her like that!]

Yes. People like me, until you so rudely interrupted. Excuse you.

[so_misfortunate]

You're the one making all the noise over here. Just because you're not talking loud-- [ And self-consciously, he lowers his voice at this point. ] It doesn't mean you're not disruptive, too.

[prideinbattle]

I'm not even being noisy. No one else is complaining. [She scoffs at him and goes back to what she was doing. Still making as much noise as she wants.]

[partytoastess]

Hiling? You of all people end up here?

[ How fitting! For some reason Nena's more satisfied if anything that one of the Innovators has arrived here and is trapped with her in this god forsaken town. But, given Nena's astounding lack of foresight, it's really plausible she doesn't realize that she's actually trapped with her. She just assumes her seniority in the town is rising!!! It won't be very brief until all of the skittles squad and Ali-Al are here! ]

[prideinbattle]

[She had been hoping to hear from one of her comrades. Instead, she gets this. She recognizes the voice and isn't pleased. Isn't she supposed to be dead?]

Oh, it's you, Trinity.

[partytoastess]

[ She can say the same about you!!!!!!!!! All of you innovators should be dead! Because she says so!

But even Nena isn't as dense to admit that killing Hiling, as incredibly satisfying to Nena as it may be (but aren't all deaths satisfying??) would accomplish nothing. She'd just revive the next day and be incredibly pissed. ]

Well, you're the only one here from our world besides me, so calling for your little friends isn't going to work this time. [ Unless Hiling can make new ones!!!! Which is completely plausible!!!!!! ]

[prideinbattle]

[If she's not lying, then that means the other Meisters aren't here either. Which is just as well while she's still unarmed, but how boring!]

Oh, I don't need them. You'd better stay out of my way.

[doctor_tyrant]

[Occasionally, the Doctor comes into the library to do some research on the town. Perhaps mistakenly, he takes one of the textbooks on Hiling's table thinking that it's a library book she's finished with. He begins skimming through as he walks away.]

[prideinbattle]

Hey that's mine!

[She puts down her book to give him an indignant stare. Not that she particularly wants or cares about the book, but she is particular about her things.]

[doctor_tyrant]

Oh. Is it?

[The Doctor returns and sets the book again on Hiling's table.]

I thought you didn't want it after tossing them like that.

[prideinbattle]

I'm studying for school. I'll be needing that.

[Isn't that how people study? She's never had to before. And she's bored already.]
