3rd Campaign [Action] Backdated April 15th

[weavemyownfate]

Who: Satsuki Kiryuin (and anyone who wants to bother her), Mitsuru Kirijo.
What: Two of these teens belong together, two of these teens are kind of the same.
Where: A tea shop, Genessia
When: April 15th

It's been about a month and Satsuki's head is pounding. Every day it's been reading, more reading, then re-reading, all somehow balanced with keeping up with her training as well as trying to get her life together.

She has a feeling her efforts aren't for naught, at least. The Student Council President does feel that she's getting somewhere in her investigating, but to prevent herself from falling too deep down the rabbit hole she's forced herself to take another break- which brings her to the tea shop that Uzu had taken her the month prior to this.

The sensation of relaxation there can't be compared to a nice hot cup of tea back at home, but it'll have to do. Sheathed sword in hand, she pushes the door open and is greeted by the familiar scent of brewing tea, which almost brings a smile to her lips. Almost.

"Lady Kiryuin. A pleasure to see you again," greets a familiar-looking young waiter with a slightly nervous smile. It's more than just his eyes on her, though, since there always seems to be a magnificent presence light behind her when she makes an entrance. "If you'd just give us just a moment, we'll have your table ready for you."

"Mmn." Satsuki approvingly replies, and rests the tip of her sheathed sword upon the entrance's rug, hands placed atop the handle.

(OOC: Anyone else who wants to talk to Satsuki may enter under the assumption she's already been seated.)

Comments

[for_my_father]

"You have my word on this. I will not go beyond basics."

The young heir replied nodding her head to Satsuki's approval. Negotiations was always something she excelled at, considering her family's line of business and such things of that sort. It is always safe to be cautious and Mitsuru is aware of that. She was not going to betray the little trust she had at the moment.

"I see, well I certainly will return the favour in the near future. If you require my assistance for anything in the future, please do tell me. Think of it as a trade for the information that you have provided me, Kiryuin-san."

"It is the truth. There is nothing we can say beyond this point, even if it is cliched."

[weavemyownfate]

Well that is quite the offer- Satsuki was not expecting such a generous one in, but rest assured she will look to take advantage of that. She may not be familiar with all the resources Mitsuru has access to, but even skills as basic as the way one carries themselves can be of use to her.

"That is quite generous of you.. I appreciate that." she murmurs with a small smile. "I have noticed several situations in which combat skills have proven useful in resolving some of the citizen's issues. Do you possess any combat ability?"

[for_my_father]

Please do. That is how Mitsuru worked her business. She was quick to make good negotiations with the proper thought process and execute them as she saw fit. That was the kind of person Mitsuru Kirijo was. Mitsuru could access things if she knew where to look. Right now, she was fairly new, so knowing all that is a challenge.

"You are welcome. I always kindly return favours."

She replied pleasantly smiling at Satsuki.

"Yes, I have learned fencing most of my life. I can use it in the battlefield."

She nodded her head, "There is also one more thing I can do, but that will be discussed when we are on better terms. I hope you understand."

[weavemyownfate]

"I see.. My fencing style is a bit rusty as I primarily use a different form of swordsmanship myself. Perhaps I should get back into it during my stay here."

One more thing? Consider Satsuki's curiosity piqued, but she seems to let it go easily enough, "I respect that, and would do the same in your position. After all, it is unwise to place all of your cards on the table at first meeting. As for your favor, I intend to turn that in once my goal is achieved."

"I plan to find a way to open a school here in Genessia as a means to get everyone to work together and discover some answers." .. Amongst other things, but that is a secret.

[for_my_father]

"Perhaps I can learn a thing or two from your own swordsmanship."

The redhead replied giving Satsuki a confident smile.

"I would be pleased to assist you with fencing if you so choose to do it, Kiryuin-san."

She mused giving the girl a promising look. Mitsuru would like to reveal that, but for now it will be in wraps until she can prove that Satsuki was worth trusting, "It sounds perfect. We can negotiate the terms much later. If not, I will arrange something."

She added.

"I see, perhaps I can be of assistance. My family sponsors my high school."

[weavemyownfate]

Satsuki takes a sip from her cup as she listens to Mitsuru, and once more nods in agreement. It hasn't been since her times with Nonon that she's felt so... Relaxed around a person. It's a shame she can't be more open than herself, but with the way things are going in Genessia, they're going to have plenty of time.

"That is perfectly acceptable."

Now the difficult part is hoping that Mitsuru can be sold on her vision. It is admittadly a more controversial one, but again only time will tell.

"I would hope so. I do not have the groundwork laid out just yet, nor do I have a sponsor and resources for my idea. But once I do, I shall contact you." she replies, "But that is interesting, the same goes for the academy that I attended. I wonder, how strict would you say your school's discipline system is?"

[for_my_father]

Mitsuru has yet to touch her tea, but she's being polite and carrying on with the conversation to the best of her abilities. This negotiation has been successful more or less. She only briefly smiled at the girl.

"Good. We'll arrange it on that then, Kriyuin-san."

She replied crossing her hands again.

"I suppose I can assist with whatever you wish to use as the groundwork for this education system that you are setting up," she replied and then adding to the question, "I suppose Gekkoukan High School is a rather strict environment. Students are expected to perform exponentially. Those who do not, must attend extra classes and those who want to excel attend summer courses. Of course, the Student Council is quite strict as well making sure that students follow rules and not slack off."

[weavemyownfate]

Just what she wanted to hear. Satsuki doesn't think to encourage Mitsuru to drink her tea; she's so engaged in the conversation it just doesn't even come to mind! Her gaze remains attentive as the redhead speaks, and in the end she gives yet another approving nod.

"That is what I was hoping; again your offer is most appreciated, Miss Kirijo. It's a shame many denizens are not as disciplined and dutiful as yourself- then we might not all be in this mess as long." And it's then she noticed the cup has gone untouched, so she gestures to it. "I suppose that is enough of that; give your tea a try and tell me what you think of it."

[for_my_father]

She had been earlier but right now didn't seem to be the time to be drinking tea since their conversation was getting rather engaging. The teen gave the other a smile for the nod, "Of course. I will do anything with my abilities to assist while I am here. It is best to help others when the time calls for it."

Order and organization are also something that is needed in such a place, "I certainly hope that won't be the case, but you are flattering me. You seem to have a good head on your own shoulders, Kiryuin-san."

The redhead added as compliment, "Yes, certainly."

She nodded her head.

[weavemyownfate]

"Much appreciated." Satsuki will be looking forward to the seeing the extent of the red-head's cooperation, though doesn't seem to have much more to add on the business end- it seems that is settled.

The Council President seems to brush off the compliment with a somewhat humble shrug.

There's a moment of silence as she ponders where to go from this point, and the smile on her face steadily fades into a more neutral expression. Maybe her cheeks were hurting. "Is your housing situation settled?"

[for_my_father]

"You're quite welcome."

She replied nodding her head to Satsuki. She seemed pleased with the terms. Whatever may happen in the future, she would make sure to take some responsibility for it.

"Yes. I am currently staying with my allies. They seem to have no issues with me being there."

[weavemyownfate]

"Good to hear. It would appear the both of us lucked out; several of my associates are with me as well. Others here do not appear as-" Satsuki starts when her communicator suddenly buzzes. After excusing herself she takes a moment to look at the text message. "Hmn."

It's difficult to discern by her expression if it is good or bad news she has received, but she looks to the younger teen as she gets to her feet, "My apologies, but I am afraid I must be on my way. It has been quite a pleasure Mitsuru Kirijo." She then offers her hand to shake.

[for_my_father]

"Yes, likewise for you as well, Kiryuin-san."

She replied. She didn't make any further comments because Satsuki got a message somewhere. The redhead nodded her head as she was told the next set of words, "It's quite alright. I should also see myself out. I do not wish to concern my allies. Please, take care Kiryuin-san. Hopefully, we will see each other in the future."

She replied smiling.

"It was indeed pleasure as well, Kiryuin-san."
