Outside Crookston academy

[A teenage Japanese girl sits on a bench, just outside the school gates. She's got a book in her hands--it looks like it's in English, in fact by the cover art it looks a lot like Lord of the Flies--and she's scowling at it. She'd quite obviously rather be anywhere than here.]

Little Tokyo

[As it turns out, there's a Books Kinokuniya in Little Tokyo, which is where our girl is just leaving from with the current issues of Ribon, Nakayoshi, Margaret and, oddly enough, Weekly Shonen Magazine now stashed away in her backpack. She'll linger a little on the streets, eying the plastic food in restaurant windows.

More than anything else, she looks homesick.]

[A Latin-looking teenage boy is wandering Little Tokyo for the first time, and he is paying more attention to the sights than where he is going. This is how he ends up bumping into Rei, quite hard, right before profusely apologizing with a thick Spanish accent.]

"Ay! Señorita! I am so sorry!"

((NOTE: Though I doubt it will come into play here, it should be noted that Antonio emits an energy field that suppresses mystical and extra-dimensional powers within 5 feet of him.))

[Although eating is kind of a pointless endeavor when you're a Greeed, old habits die hard, and Maki's walking through the streets of Little Tokyo with a grocery bag. If you're going to make pointless food, it might as well be familiar pointless food. The doll perched on his arm is holding an identical bag of miniature food, because Little Tokyo is also the only good local place for Maki to find Re-Ment miniatures. He probably looks just a little strange as he walks right on by her.]

[This was a part of the city Eiji hadn't been to yet. Though he had quite a bit on his mind so he was a little distracted.]

What am I going to do?

[He's more or less talking to himself here and doesn't really pay much attention to who else was around him.]

[We interrupt your regularly scheduled reading to bring you: Rei, having an argument with himself.]

[Which is to say, there is a tall, slender man in far too many layers for the weather walking by, speaking with his hands and in a voice that changes pitch and cadence with every sentence.]

I'm telling you, it's fishy! [The first voice is brusque, coarse, and clearly irritable. The man's arms wave wildly as he speaks this sentence, only to have him inhale slowly with his eyes closed and walk straighter just after.]

"Fishy" makes this sound entirely less important than it is, Jin. [This voice sounds older, more collected, and is softer but no less deep.

[Let's make this even stranger. It appears Tomoki is in Little Tokyo checking up on something work related (So he says.)]

[He's easy to pick out because his Japanese is actually pretty terrible and when he has to use to it to ask someone a question it's almost painful to listen to. Somehow, he manages to find out what he wants and writes it down in his notepad.]

One more lead...

[That guy with the American accent sure does have your brother's face.]
