so i just got here

and yeah i got the whole welcoming spiel so can it

i got separated from my friend somehow but hes gotta be here somewhere. if u see a kid named gon that wears all green and is way to cheerful lemme know.

oh and what happens if u just skip school? theyre telling me i have to go to school when the new semester starts. ive never went to school before though and it sounds like a waste of time.

[Something about the tight-knit government around here, how he arrived, and everything they knew about him just rubbed Killua the wrong way. Normally he wouldn't even care to ask, but he has to wonder if there's some ridiculously disproportionate punishment for playing hooky. He's been here all of a day and he already doesn't trust the place.

The last thing he remembers from home was using Accompany On with Gon. By all means they shouldn't have been separated, and yet they were, which is why he's convinced his friend has to be here somewhere. Not that anyone at the base would tell him.]

but they brought me here and im a minor

[gevurah]

I doubt they'll deploy you officially.
Making you fight, I mean.

[killectric]

oh right

their loss

[gevurah]

[ She remembers Killua isn't an ordinary teenager; he's strategic and precise in his movements and boy, can he land a hit. She actually got her ass handed to her that time they sparred. ]

Really?

[killectric]

yeah

half the people ive seen here look like they couldnt fight there way out of a paper bag

[gevurah]

That's quite an assumption to make.

[killectric]

that or there all really good at hiding their auras lol

[gevurah]

Something to do with nen, right?

[killectric]

yeah

u know about it?

[gevurah]

Very little.

[ Okay, she'll be honest: ]

We sparred once.

[killectric]

oh so i met u the last time i was here

or whatever

lets meet

[gevurah]

[ Kate Kane, you have a problem and that problem is setting yourself up for inevitable heartache.

But she was fond of Killua and Gon and felt protective over them. She sees Hisoka and Illumi in this entry and tenses. ]

You should be more careful about who you meet.

[killectric]

im not worried

we sparred and u dont even know that much about nen

that means i must have won

[It's more complicated than that, but far be it from him to admit he just wants to get more proof of his time here before.]

her pride :'(

[gevurah]

[ You crazy shounens and your crazy powers.

She can disable people's powers, but she keeps it a secret. It's her trump card should she need it. ]

You did.

rest in pieces

[killectric]

lol! knew it

so i have nothing to be worried about

she'll step on him as revenge

[gevurah]

Fine.
There's someone who's missed you and Gon.

wtf rude

[killectric]

[Someone who missed him and Gon? There's a few people he's already met that that could arguably be.]

who?

beating up older ladies is the rudest

[gevurah]

You'll find out.

[ :) ]

not his fault you're old

[killectric]

its not hisoka is it

[gevurah]

[ Hisoka. ]

Something you could probably stand to be in a room with.

[ So no, not Hisoka. ]

[killectric]

[You'd be surprised at how many times he's stood in a room with Hisoka. But hey, at least that rules out it being his brother. He definitely can't stand him.]

ok

lets meet at the candy shop in heropa

[This way he can spy the entrance from afar and see who's coming. It's also public, making for an easy escape if he needs it.]

[gevurah]

Now?

-> ACTION

[killectric]

see u in 20 minutes

[That would be a "yes".

Killua, of course, won't be at the candy shop. He'll be on top of the building across from it, binoculars in hand and watching.]

ACTION

[gevurah]

[ She's not preoccupied with anything, so Kate grabs her purse, wallet and sunglasses and whistles for the dog to come follow her.

Her car is officially dead so she has to walk to the shop, but Heropa is a small enough town and she's done enough running around rooftops over the years that she's still in peak condition. A twenty minute walk is nothing to her, even at her age. Besides, the dog is enjoying all the air and exercise she can get.

She arrives at the store, but she doesn't enter once she can see Killua isn't in the shop. She tips her sunglasses to check the time on her phone and then pushes them back up the bridge of her nose and waits. ]

[killectric]

[Killua has no idea who he's looking for, but he has context on his side. The candy shop isn't terribly busy. A few people walk up in the five minutes before and after his twenty minute marker pass, and he keeps a look out on all of them. None of them are anyone he recognizes, and only two are seen checking their phones (possibly for the time) immediately upon arrival, and only one is keeping wait outside.

Might be her.

Might be one the one who went inside, though.

With one hand he pulls out his phone and makes a text.] im running a little late
