one Ϟ action.

[tsunderbolting]

[ Mikoto doesn't remember dying. Nor does she remember being unable to use her abilities to the maximum capacity, either, which pisses her off tremendously. Which is the sole reason why she is walking angrily around the school, hands closed into tight fists with the occasional small blueish-white electric spark emitting from the tip of her hair, wearing frog print pajamas and not even caring who sees them. She's pissed, and she wants to find the perpetrator behind this stupid crime.

Which may be why she's being relatively loud in the halls of the classroom.

If anybody is out and about, they might find Mikoto doing one of the following: ]

OPTION A:

[ Near any vending machine, Mikoto will attempt to get a drink. Any sort of drink, really. And she's doing it because, well, a middle school girl can get thirsty, even if she is dead. (Not that she knows that yet.)

But when she attempts to pun in some money, the vending machine decides not to give her what she paid for, which causes the brunette's eyes to widen in shock before gritting her teeth angrily, yelling: ]

Why, you...!

[ Of course, this isn't the first time that's happened. Which is why she'll be kicking the vending machine with a roundhouse kick just to get a random can. Most likely it being Key Coffee.

And the loud noise of her kick might be enough to startle a few people. ]

OPTION B:

[ And right in front of the principal's office is Mikoto. She wants answers, and she wants them now. Of course, the young teenager is pretty confident that she'll be able to find what she wants here; after all, if the head honcho isn't the principal, then it's quite difficult to see who it is.

Of course, she's right about to open the door, but somebody might want to stop her before a hammer goes and whacks smack into her face. ]

OPTION C:

[ Mikoto's pretty pissed that she's practically been brought back to the state of being a Level One. Basically that means she's going to have to practice a little, and practice hard. Of course, she's already at this point found out that she's dead, even though she has absolutely no recollection of her own death, something that pisses her off even more.

Which is why she's on the rooftop of the school, with a bunch of soda cans stacked on top of each other as a pyramid, a bunch of arcade coins that she bought from the convenience store; she couldn't use yen because of the holes in the center, after all.

And now she'll practice doing her signature move: the Railgun, by tossing one coin into the air and flicking it towards the cans. Of course, no electrical power is used, but she does hit the top can.

... At least her aim's doing fine? But her electricity has practically become zilch. She can't even do a single spark unless she tries extremely hard, and that sometimes even wears her out. ]

Geez! What kind of afterlife takes away something so important...!?

A, 1/2

[onewayroad]

[Accelerator's on his way to one of the usual vending machines he gets his drinks from when he hears the sound of someone yelling out in frustration and something being rammed into, or kicked. He frowns and glances toward the sounds, only for his eyes to widen at the familiar tea-brown hair in uniform whaling away at the finicky machine. A startled look overtakes him for an entire two seconds before he overwrites it with a scowl as he does his best to compose himself.]

2/2

[onewayroad]

...You.

[That single word drips with boredom and lack of enthusiasm. Oh joy. After his last run-in with her in Hawaii, he can't pretend to be enthused to see her again in any circumstance.]

[tsunderbolting]

[ Immediate anger washes over her as she clenches her free hand into tight fist, the other one slowly crushing the can, coffee seeping through the opening. Gritting her teeth, she spoke up, her voice menacing.

Unfortunately she's a little scared, but she's hiding it with the best of her abilities; her anger is a lot stronger than her fear, after all. ]

What are you doing here?

[onewayroad]

[He gives her question a dismissive snort, immediately shoving both hands in his front pants pockets. He's not wearing a school uniform, instead having switched to the mostly white and gray outfits that had shown up for him only weeks earlier at Christmas.]

That's my question. Just what so-called genius decision landed you in this shithole? You're so known for them, after all.

[What's he basing that off of? Oh, just his three sole run-ins with her.]

[tsunderbolting]

[ Nice to see that Accelerator's just as nice as he was the last time she saw him. She'll toss the can towards the nearest trash can, eyes still on him as they narrow slightly, trying to maintain the fact that she's still angry at him. ]

And why exactly would I tell you of all people?

C

[conversationalist]

[He watches her. And more importantly, the stacked cans. Why is this so important? It's because, Kotarou carries with him, a stone. He flips and tosses it, catching it in his palm each time, before he suddenly tosses it towards the "pile" of cans, at dare I say electrifying speed. The stacks are hit with his rock.]

I did it!

[tsunderbolting]

... It looks like you did.

[ She calms down somewhat as she laughs lightly; it seems that his speed is faster than hers. At the moment, anyway. It's just a little awkward to see herself get usurped, though.

At least her powers aren't being negated by a person, though. ]

[conversationalist]

I couldn't help it. They were asking to be tipped over. [He admits the truth.]

Can I ask what you're doing, anyway?

[tsunderbolting]

Practicing.

[ ... She frowns, walking over to the cans as she restacks them as another pyramid before looking over her shoulder. ]

I need to get my powers back.

C

[princesspool]

[Do you live for the applause, applause, applause, because that's what you're getting. Sonia is clapping at your attempt to knock over the can! Oh, what a fun commoner game this must be!]

Nicely done! That was hella sweet, dude!

[tsunderbolting]

[ ... What's with the gangster talk? Because Mikoto's a little surprised by that slightly. Though it's okay; there's always weird people back home, this is nothing different. ]

I don't really think it was that great. I haven't hit all of them yet.

[princesspool]

[Isn't that what all the hip, young kids are saying these days?]

But it was a valiant first try, and you shall only improve!

[tsunderbolting]

[ Not in her world. All the cool people speak in third person, obviously.. ]

Well, I'm usually a lot better than this!

[ Which is why she sounds pretty pissed off. She'd usually be able to hit all of the cans perfectly, but she could only hit one. Losing her powers is pretty horrible, after all! ]

A

[princesadist]

[That kick. Don't mind Sougo popping out from whatever corner he was hiding from to find out what in the hell just happened. It takes him a moment to see that some girl just kicked the vending machine, huh. His face tilts as he approaches the vending machine, examining it a bit.]

...my. I didn't realize someone could get so angry at a vending machine. [So he says, beginning to pat it.] Who knows what sort of damage you could have done, though... [He turns back to her.] I'm sure with enough force, you could have gotten everyone free drinks.

[tsunderbolting]

I've done this before.

[ She speaks the truth, actually, and she doesn't really care if someone saw her or not, as long as they didn't see anything unwanted. ]

Though it's easier not to get caught this way!

[princesadist]

Easier? Huh. You should probably get me an extra one while you're at it too.

[Trying to pilfer from someone already...]

But you kicked a vending machine before? I wouldn't want to know what these did to cause you such aggravation. Did it get a good look up your skirt?

[tsunderbolting]

[ HOW ABOUT NO? ]

Vending machines don't have eyes! [ Even though other machines do, but that's not even the point--! ] And I'm not going to let you look up my skirt either, you pervert!

[ She's probably getting the wrong idea, but she has good reasons for doing it. Especially because of who she rooms with. ]

B

[tenminutes]

[ Yeah she's not going to stop her. She'll go investigate after she gets smacked out of the window though, since most people know not to barge in. ]

[tsunderbolting]

[ Once the door opens, she'll definitely get hit by the hammer, though she's definitely going to fall dramatically - and by dramatically, it means that she's going to be out of it for about ten seconds or so; she's been in pretty rough situations and a hammer is the least of the problems. As she falls, she'll try to calculate some things, she's not a complete idiot and she'll fall all the way down, rolling on the ground for a few more minutes, her body covered in injuries, clothes completely tattered.

Yeah no she's not going to deal with this quietly... ]

Geez, what kind of office is that?!

[tenminutes]

[ After hearing someone get crashed right out the window, it attracts Yuri's attention. The door had opened, but there was no reasonable way or purpose for Yuri to stop whoever it was from getting smashed out. After all, that was what it was there for. Yuri goes to peek out the window after disabling the trap for now to see if it's someone new or someone who's just a repeat-offender moron.

At the sight of it being someone new, and someone who's actually conscious after that, she waves from the broken window. ]

If you want to talk, we can talk outside of HQ!

[tsunderbolting]

[ HQ...?

Mikoto's assuming that it's the Principal's Office, so once she gets her bearings - meaning that she's managed to dust her skirt off, though her clothes are pretty tattered as she runs all the way back to the front door. She sounds like she has answers for her, and the more? The better. She's already heard part of it from Accelerator, but if she can get more information... that's good for her.

Especially if it means getting her abilities back faster. ]

A

[callmeimouto]

[...and here kirino was just wanting a drink herself.

she had been behind misaka, waiting for her turn, when the girl up and decided kicking the machine was a good idea. with her hands on her hips, kirino huffed.]

Jeez- what'd the machine ever do to you?

[tsunderbolting]

[ Mikoto's not going to look at Kirino immediately; she's too angry at the vending machine to do that. But after a sip of her drink, she'll turn around, hearing the other girl's voice. ]

The machine got what it deserved! Taking my money like that...

[callmeimouto]

Hmm... right right, the poor little machine had it coming.

[kirino sighs.]

I could have just bought it for you instead of watching you kick at it.

[tsunderbolting]

You're saying that as if money is free.

[ She doesn't think it is, even in the afterlife. Plus, she doesn't want to be indebted to someone for buying her a can of soda. ]
