[option A: video]

[Reisuke appears to have borrowed one of the computers in the library that has the video function (or he might have borrowed his roommate's laptop without asking), but when he starts it, he's not in sight. It looks like no one is sitting in front of the computer. That is, until two hand-puppets suddenly come up from the bottom of the screen, a childish voice speaking as the blue hand-puppet waves at the screen, "speaking" in a cheerful tone.]

"Hello! We're here to introduce a very special person!""

[The pink hand-puppet nods in agreement.] "That's right! Rei-kun is a very special person, and super elite! There's nothing he can't do!"

[And then both, "at the same time", as they appear to make some kind of hand clapping motion. Clap clap clap.]

"So let's give a round of applause for the great Reisuke Houjou~!"

[Reisuke will finally appear, poking his head up from the bottom of the screen. The little boy smiles and waves a hand-puppet at the screen.]

Hi! I've been here a while, so I already know that I'm dead. [And he has no qualms saying that bluntly.] ...But that's okay! That just means that I get to play with all of you now! [hehe] I can't wait to get to play with everyone here, it's gonna be so much fun!

[And then he dissolves further into childish giggling. Someone's certainly cheerful today...]

[option B: action]

[Even if you don't feel like indulging the kid over the computer or what not, Reisuke can still be found just about anywhere today. Whether you're minding your own business, sitting in a chair or on a bench somewhere, reading a book, ditching class, whatever it is you crazy kids do in the afterlife, Reisuke might be lurking nearby to try to "chat" with you once you're spotted. Hope you like dealing with strange little kids...especially ones that might be dressed like this.]

Puppet shows? [Ha, yeah right. But he pretends to consider the idea.] I've never done one of those for anyone before. Do you like puppet shows, Onee-chan?

Mhm! They're really fun!

[ She's only seen like a street performance or two when she was living in France, of course.. ]

Really? [Hm...] What kind of puppet shows are the best ones to have?

What kind? Well, I haven't seen that many different kinds, but in Paris occasionally they had those street carts with the puppet shows. Those were very amusing. Then there's the muppets, which are a different kind, but I think I enjoy the street ones better!

[Did you just say that something was better than the Muppets that's just blasphemy--]

Oh...I wish I could see puppet shows like that too!

[ The muppets are awesome but she's never seen the muppets live ok ]

I wish I could show you, but I wouldn't know the first thing about putting a show on here..!

Oh... [Can you hear the disappointment in his voice. You have failed him as a big sister, Ichigo. (Except not really, it's not like he cares whether there are puppet shows here or not...)]

I-I'm sorry-!

[ SHE FEELS SO BAD NOW, HYPING HIM UP AND NOT BEING ABLE TO.. ]

Well, if I find some more puppets maybe I can try..!

Oh! [And then the ~~fake~~ pouting is gone.] Do you want any help looking for more puppets to play with?

Sure! Let's look together!

Okay! [Oh, but...] Where should we start?

Hmm.. [ Give her a minute. Even scratching her chin like a real thoughtful detective here.. ]

Maybe in the auditorium? People have school plays during festivals, maybe there are props there!

Oh, then let's go there! [Maybe the auditorium will have other interesting props to play with too...] Where are you, Onee-chan?

[Why yes, he wants to go there right away.]

Huh? Oh, I'm in the computer lab right now! I was trying to get some ideas.

[ She seems to be okay with dropping it and heading over there. ]

I'll meet you there!

Okay! I'll be waiting!

[He holds up a hand puppet that then waves to her before he disconnects from the computer to leave.] "Bye bye, Onee-chan!"

[ She totally waves and says goodbye to the puppet, then off she goes to meet him! In fact, she's looking around the stage to try to see if she can find a way into the prop storage rooms right now.. ]

[While you're trying to figure out where everything is and how to get into the room, suddenly, there is a hand puppet poking around the corner by one of the storage rooms right near you as Reisuke speaks.]

"Hello! We've been waiting for you, Onee-chan!"

[ Ichigo jumps back at that, not having expected it to pop out. ]

It's a possessed do-- oh, wait, that's Reisuke-kun's. Hehe..

[Sure enough, Reisuke pokes out from around the corner too.]

Yeah! Now that you're here, we can look for stuff to play with, right?

[ Ichigo's got her hand over her heart since he did manage to surprise her. After a few seconds though she smiles and nods. ]

Let's find a bunch of things!
