[Oh, what? SOMEONE IS RUNNING AT YOU ANGRILY.]

Touma!!

[so_misfortunate]

--huh. [ Touma stops in his tracks. That's funny, he could have sworn that was a familiar voice, so he turns and... ]

[ Oh shit, she looks angry. Angrier. Does she know what's going on? ] Biribiri?

[1_21jigawatts]

[She lifts up a sparking fist to punch him with but stops herself well short of Touma....still glaring.]

[so_misfortunate]

H-hold on! [ He brings his right hand up, reflexively, to block the attack--

That doesn't come.

Relaxing a bit. ] Now's not the time to go at it, is it?

[misakanetwork]

[IS THAT WHO MISAKA THINKS IT IS. It looks like it.

Enjoy being clung to by the arm.]

'Misaka missed you for the short while she was stuck here without you,' Misaka says honestly.

[so_misfortunate]

[ He gives up a surprised grunt, and pulls his arm by reflex. It doesn't go far once he realizes who it is, because he'd really rather not risk ticking her off of all people.

Something is off, though... ] Misaka, what are you talking about?

[misakanetwork]

'Misaka has been stuck in this place now for a few days,' Misaka explains.

[so_misfortunate]

A few days? [ Blinking at her. ] It hasn't been that long since I last saw you. Are you feeling okay...?

[insertworstpuns]

[Guess who you are bumping into, Touma. A more mature version of Mikoto! Well, the crazied smile and the bags under her eyes probably don't make her look any more friendly.]

Hoh? Watch where you're going, Spiky hair!

[so_misfortunate]

[ And she'll have to pardon his staring because after he spins around, ready to apologize and/or yell at her, that's all she'll get. ] --huh? [ What the hell is this? She never said that she had an older sister.... not that I asked. ]

[insertworstpuns]

Huh? Is that all you're going to say to Misaka after bumping into her like that?

[so_misfortunate]

[ Uncertain. ] Sorry, I... guess I wasn't watching where I was going.

[ Looking her up and down now, there was no mistaking it. She's changed. ]

Re: [outside]

[so_misfortunate]

[ A) ]

Hey, excuse me but... [ Putting on his best "lost tourist" face, Touma approaches the stranger, thinking she looks little out of place from the other, cheerful people he's met so far. ] Do you know where this road goes?

[so_misfortunate]

[ Taking in the information, Touma nods. ] --yeah, a few hours ago.

[tsuntiger]

[Oh Touma, be glad you don't remember this midget.

But you did just bump into her, and she definitely remembers you. She glares up at Touma, a scowl on her face; but only briefly, because his arrival means she can tease Misaka again.]

You're back?

[so_misfortunate]

[ Stumbling a bit before straightening up. ] Ack, sorry! I guess I was--

--huh? [ Yeah, he's saying this a lot, lately. ]

[tsuntiger]

[That smile is potentially even more frightening then the scowl she had one earlier.]

So, Touma... How're you and Misaka doing?

[so_misfortunate]

[ --should he now her? She knows who they are, that much is clear, but from what little he has in his head he can't reconcile her appearance or pull up a name. Damn it... ] Uh, fine, except for me being brought here. Just what the hell is going on, anyhow?
