Beneath the Stars
Ryoma sits alone on a park bench in Yongen-Jaya. Nothing but the clear skies and a full moon to keep him company. This was a rare occurrence for him, not having his stall ready and waiting in the wings. His bike is leaned against the back of the bench. He lets out a soft sigh as he holds a solid white K-Cup in his hands. Haaaa... I need to come up with a new blend soon, but I just can't seem to come up with a theme. Another sigh escapes his lips as he looks up into the sky. Several glistening dots are woven into the beautiful blanket of darkness. He smiles softly at them as they glimmer. I wonder. Are these the same stars I once gazed upon in my world? In my time? Tears seem to well up in his eyes before he promptly wipes them away. Haha! I'm getting too soft it seems!
Eito walks down the road,admiring the sky. "Fuckin' beautiful." He wears his jacket and headphones as always,but now he seems to wear...Glasses. *Sigh* Spotting Ryoma,he walks over and sits next to him,readjusting his glasses. "Hey Ryoma,it's been a while."
Rise came walking down the path the bench was, presumably, placed beside. She was looking up at the sky, lost in thought as she took long, but slow, strides, going at her own leisurely pace. She only snapped out of it once she noticed the wandering barista and his familiar bike, turning her attention to him and smiling. Well if it isn't Ryoma-senpai! Getting ready to set up shop for the night? Boy do you choose some weird places for your business. Once she had reached the bench, she'd stop and turn to face the coffee boy. She didn't seem to be aware of whatever deep thoughts he was having as could be inferred by how insensitive her words may seem depending on his situation.
Ryoma snaps himself out of his daze as Eito and Rise appear before him. He smiles warmly at the pair. Good evening, Eito and Miss Kujikawa! The man pockets his small cup. I regret to inform you both that I am actually taking a day off. I just wanted to come and unwind for once. Care to join me? He gets up and stretches himself out before presenting his seat to Rise. Please, I can stand. And it sure is funny that the locations I choose are weird, because correct me if I'm mistaken, but you always seem to track me down. The man offers a playful wink as he speaks. And you, Eito, how are you my friend?
Madoka seemed a little lost... Geez, where did Homura-chan go? We were supposed to go see Senri-chan and I went and got lost... even in a small town... Madoka sighs. Tokyo's more unfamiliar districts were a maze for her, despite her hometown being pretty similar... She then saw an odd coffee stand in the path. Curious, she approached. Umm, hello! Do you have cocoa?
Eito stretches as he smirks at Ryoma's wink to Rise. "I've been doing just fine." "Better than fine,actually!" His eyes turn pink,slightly glowing. "Lots more progress since I last saw you." "Friends,weapons,techniques." He motions to his eyes. "And I finally figured out that this was a thing!"
Rise couldn't help but grin, finding Ryoma's words to be rather bold. Afterall, the role of the flirty one usually belonged to her. Hehehe, so you're catching on huh? I'm totally your stalker, I just can't get enough of your coffee! But I guess it'll have to wait until next time if today is your day off. It can be easily assumed that she's joking... hopefully. As for the polite gesture, she'd roll her eyes at him. Also, sit back down silly! You're the one with a day off here so you should be the one taking a load off. Besides, your friend here wants to talk about his... uh, what the heck is wrong with your eyes? Having just mentioned him, she'd glance over at Eito and notice the weird glow in his eyes. She'd be quick to associate weird eye colors with shadows but those are usually yellow so this pink color catches her attention. As for Madoka, she'd look at her for a moment but then back to Eito as she hadn't been addressed by her and wasn't familiar with her anyway.
Homura wanders the city with a da- oh there's Madoka, Well guess there's no need to begin tearing the city to bits looking for her after all! She'd cheerfully run up to the other girl and pull her into a hug. "Gah, don't scare me like that Madoka! Geez, how'd you get lost anyway? Heh, guess we're lucky I'm pretty good at directions right?" Homura playfully ruffles the girl's hair for a moment... Before looking around and noticing that other people do in fact exist here, ones she knows at that. She'd blush and wave at them with a grin on her face. "Oh hello, everyone, odd seeing you out here of all places Ryoma-san. And without the shop set up too, taking a break I guess? And hey Rise-chan! Oh yeah, um you wanted to meet Madoka and well it's not what we came for, but here she is! And geez Eito-san, I've been wondering about those eyes for a while. What kinda mess have you found yourself in this time huh?" She glances around the place for somewhere to sit... And sigh upon finding nothing beyond Ryoma's seat, geez if she hangs around long enough she'll have to dig into her shield or something.
He looks to Homura,briefly glancing at Rise,his eyes turning green. "My eyes?" "Heh,well,do you want to know the big secret?"
S-Stalker? N-Not that I r-really mind you being a r-regular customer... His cheeks grow flush as he stutters heavily. With a sigh of defeat he sits down and looks to Eito. Yes. I noticed something was up. Explain, please. The man crosses his arms and taps his right foot as Madoka and Homura appear. Sorry mademoiselle, today I am taking a break and as such I won't be working tonight. Ah! And Miss Akemi, this is a friend of yours?
Madoka jumps slightly, but quickly realizes it's Homura and giggles. Hi, Homura-chan! I was worried... Umm, I thought you were right behind me, so I kept walking... I don't know these streets as well yet. But I'm glad you help me out, Homura-chan! She smiles as she hugged Homura tightly. Are these friends of yours? Umm, hello! I'm Madoka Kaname. I'm happy to meet you both! And it's good to see you again, Eito-kun! ...Hm? Madoka tilted her head looking at Rise. She seemed familiar... But it would be rude to pry like that.
"Hey,Madoka." Eito smirks and readjusts his glasses. "Well,the secret is..." "There isn't one." He throws his hands to the air. "I have no idea what the hell this is."
Rise had been entranced by Eito's shifting eye color until Homura came along and announced herself. Notifying her that this pink-haired girl was in fact her Madoka, this was now the focus of Rise's attention. That's really something... er, whatever your name is. Oh Homura-chan! Wait, this is your girlfriend? Oh my gosh she's even cuter than you are! Madoka right? She stepped over to the two of them, leaning in close to Madoka and looking her up and down. She's clearly checking her out, probably intending to say something along the lines of her becoming an idol. My, no wonder you aren't fond of boys Homura-chan, you have a better eye for women! Besides her new interest in Madoka, she didn't feel the need to respond to Ryoma seeing as she beat him at her own flirty game.
Homura turns a bit red at Ryoma's question... Friend is a word for it. "Um, you could say that Ryoma-san... More than that if I'm being honest." She pouts upon hearing he's closed, aww that's too bad. But, he probably needs the rest! "And aww nothing today huh? Oh well, I guess you can get something later! And yeah they're friends!" She pauses, huh. Funny that she hasn't bothered to mention Rise had wanted to meet Madoka. Either way, she gestures to Rise and then Ryoma, quickly giving their names before she looks at Eito and sighs to herself. Really Eito? "Come on Eito-kun are you for real!? Such cruelty, getting our hopes up only to dash them without any effort! Why if I weren't a brave warrior I might break down and cry!" The tone of her voice and look of her eyes makes it obvious she'd do no such thing. She then feels her face burn up at Rise's words, geez did she have to be so blunt about it? Well, not like she's trying to hide that anyways, but it's still embarrassing! "Eeek, um yes that's her Rise-chan. and yes I think she's cuter than me too. And um, of course, I've got a good eye! It's Madoka after all... Geez, remember when you used to say you were nothing special Madoka? Heh, that was silly!" In spite of the blush creeping up her face, she's not about to break down and stutter or something! It's too much fun trying to keep up with Rise-chan after all!
Ryoma's left eye twitches slightly as he hears Eito's story. You have no idea what it is or how it works. I have seen genetic alterations before but never something as seemingly useless as color changing eyes. Have you noticed any patterns in relation to your eye color? Maybe behavior-wise? Ryoma brings a hand to his chin as he watches the girls converse. As worried as he was about Eito, seeing Madoka and Homura was a heartwarming sight. However he found himself staring at Rise, before quickly turning back to Eito. It could be any number of things, and I would like to make certain that none of them are life threatening.
"Well,they change with my emotions,I guess." As if to demonstrate his point,his eyes turn to dark blue. "And they start glowing if the emotion is particularly strong." The teen shrugs. "Aside from that,I don't know anything." Turning to Homura,he smiles,his eyes turning orange. "Yes,I was known to break many hearts in my day,my dear." "Just not like this. You and Madoka are just too cute to try it in the normal way."

Ryoma takes his hand from his chin and looks between himself and Eito. His eyes darting between his hand and his friend's face. And then in an instant. SMACK! Sorry. Just doing some mild experimentation, Eito. Nothing personal! Ryoma then retracts his arm as he pays attention to Eito's eyes.
Figuring she might be making Madoka a bit too uncomfortable with her forward attitude, Rise decides to give her some space and steps back accordingly. By now she would've overheard the others mentioning the disappointing truth of Eito's changing eye color. Well you better watch out Homura-chan, I have half a mind to steal her right from under your nose, haha! Eh... that was a joke don't worry. Turning her back on the two girls, in order to face Eito, she'd address him now. So you just have these magically glowing eyes? I'd be lieing if I said I wasn't a bit jealous Eito-senpai. Although, can't say I'm jealous, or even convinced, of your ability to "break hearts." You just don't have that charm that Yu-senpai has. She'd smile as if expecting him to not take offense from her words but, at the very least, she at least seems confident in what she said. Though taste in potential partners has only ever been subjective.
Homura's face... Goes utterly dark for a moment, her tone turning flat and cool as she glares through her glasses. "I cannot allow that to happen, I am sorry Rise-chan... But you must perish before such a thing could come to pass." The girl waits for a few seconds, letting her words sink in, right before she bursts into laughter and grins at Rise. "So... Did I have ya fooled!? I like to think I can be a pretty good actor when I give it a shot, but who knows?" She'd then turn back to Eito with a smirk on her face, can't exactly say she disagrees with not being sure of that skill... Wait, Yu-senpai? Does she mean Narukami-san? "Hmm... Well, nobody will ever have Madoka's charm to me, but even disregarding that, Rise-chan is right! Oh and um, is Yu-senpai Yu Narukami? I'm not totally sure, but if so I actually met him a while back!"
OOC: 2% battery. RIP.
OOC:See ya.
Turning to Ryoma,his eyes glowing red. "Dude!What the fuck?" *Sigh* "That hurt a lot,man." Looking to Rise,his eyes turn yellow as he rubs his cheek for a second. "Ah!" [/i]He puts his hand up to his chest in mock offense.[/i] "You wound me deeply,my fair lady!"

*a shadow bleeds out of the ground* Heeeeey, I am back from that cramped t.v. place. *he waves to both Eito and Rise*
OOC:Well,this died unexpectedly quickly.
