2nd Broken Illusion

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Action : Mayfield High : Open ]
[ Somehow, he has gotten himself cornered by some of the drone boys from his class, despite wanting to eat lunch in peace. He's just sitting at the end of the table, munching on his sandwich with a bored look on his face while the others yammer on about girls, sports, movies... whatever. Touma can't be bothered to even try to feign interest as he has way too much on his mind from last week's "adventure".

Maybe someone with something to say can save him? ]

[ Action : Neutron Diner : Open ]
[ All done with his obligations for the day, he heads into the diner. He isn't looking for anything in particular; he isn't even that hungry. But he had called Mikoto because he really needs to talk to someone about what's been going on. Touma doesn't know who else can be any closer to the center of this situation than him, and still be someone he can trust.

Guess there's one way to find out -- but he arrived really early, so there could still be time for distractions... ]

Probably not! [ The admission comes before he considers his side of the argument. ] But fine, you had no choice. I get it. It doesn't mean I have to like the outcome, or the fact that someone put you in that kind of a position in the first place.

I...I will never like that guy. I hate him and it's hard to actually hate someone.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Maybe that's why he could ask you to do it. Because he thought you would in the first place. [ Frowning. Touma's not sure if he should consider that taking advantage of Mikoto's nature, or clever, given the circumstances... ] This place has a nice way of complicating everything.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

Still....

[It still haunts her dreams.]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ Touma tosses the menu aside. Suddenly his appetite is gone. ] I hope nothing else like that happened to you last week. Or to your sisters. [ He isn't sure if they've told her about that, yet... ]

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

For one thing, I'm not enough of an idiot to fall like that. [Also why she removes it in combat]

Besides, it gets a pretty good reaction from people.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

That's going pretty far just for shock value.

[webfreedomftw.livejournal.com]

It's sometimes entertaining to mock them, though. Or to just work out ways of escape, if that's more your style?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

I don't really want to waste my time talking to them unless I have to. [ And, right now, he doesn't. ]

Do you mean cutting class, or bailing outta Mayfield?

[webfreedomftw.livejournal.com]

Cutting class came to mind, but if you have any theories on getting out, I wouldn't mind discussing them with you.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

Nothing of the sort, no.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ A nod, then a sigh. ] They know how to run, that's for sure.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Heh, I'd skip if there was anything else worthwhile to do in this town.

As for getting out, well... [ He shrugs a shoulder. ] Your guess is as good as mine.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

We all ran halfway across the whole town.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

Doing what? It wasn't for exercise, I bet.

'Misaka has never had a chance before to dine in one of these such establishments, so Misaka was going to take that time to try one out now,' Misaka explains her lack of knowledge pertaining to these type of places.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Zombies. [ Giving her a look. Duh? Of course, whether they were being chased or doing the chasing, he doesn't say. ]

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ And, of course, it would be the day he happened to be trying the place out, too. ] It's just a restaurant. It might be old-fashioned, but I don't see anything special about it.

[misakanetwork]

'But Misaka has never been to a restaurant either,' Misaka points out.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Oh. [ Welp. ] ...did you bring any money?

[misakanetwork]

'Of course,' Misaka nods. 'Misaka wouldn't have come here without money.'

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

[ He slides over the menu card. ] Then I guess order what you want.

[misakanetwork]

[She looks at it.

Thankfully, unlike 9982, 10032 has self restraint when it comes to food.]

'What do you recommend?' Misaka questions as she is unsure what to get.

[notawhale.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not like I got it for that reason.
