[Sunset over the water](OPEN)

[Neko]

Deep amethyst hued gaze was soft, and for the first time in awhile, had no plotting glint to them. Hair was pulled into her usual high ponytail, though, today Neko wore something a bit more on the normal side. A plain forest green fitted t-shirt, and a pair of faded blue jeans that had rips in the knees. Shoes were simply white runners. She had decided to go for a more normal look today, not feeling like wearing a skirt. She wasn't feeling good for some reason. Seating herself at the edge of a dock, her legs dangled above the water as she gazed out to the water, watching the sun as it slowly set. It had been rather uneventful lately.

Neko, personally was getting quite bored with all this normalcy. Where was Kira? Why were there no more criminal killings? It just didn't make sense. She pulled her cellphone out of her pocket, and shrugged. Once again, no one called. Not that she expected anyone to, considering no one really knew her, even at the University. She pocketed her phone, and sighed. It was just too quiet! Taking out her ponytail, she allowed the sea's breeze to lift and play with her long crimson tresses. Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to relax, the sea was so calming when you were always on the edge.

A few minutes later, she opened her eyes, looking around, and frowned, she shook her head as if clearing it of something and put her hair back in it's ponytail, pulling her knees up, she wrapped her arms around them, gazing out to the sea. She really had nothing to do today, or rather..tonight, considering all her homework was done.

[Claw]

(OOC: Yay! A thread to join!)

Ocean stretched out as far as the eyes could see. It had been such a rough day at high school that she had just kept walking past her apartment, past the annoying kids at the cram school, and past everything that was getting on Claw’s nerves during the past months. Listening to the waves lap against the shores, then feel them brush against her ankles, Claw couldn’t help but be reminded slightly of her old home by the sea. She had never come out to the docks during her time in Japan, but something drew her in today. The ocean, the red-gold sunset…it all seemed so familiar. She shoved her sunglasses up on her nose with two fingers as she headed closer to the wharf.

“Hmm?”

She stoped walking down the ‘more-rock-than-sand’ beach once she finally reached the docks. Sitting alone on the wooden planks was another girl whom she didn’t recognize. She knew a lot of people just from walking around the streets, not to mention her random drop-in’s on Chi at the university, but this person stumped her. The fact that she looked twice as bored as Claw did made her curious, but only slightly. Curiosity killed the cat, as she knew, but not if that cat was carrying a Mossberg rifle shotgun in her bag. She doubted that she would use it, but it wouldn’t hurt to have it nearby...

“Hello,” Claw spoke loud enough for the other girl to hear her from the pier, “You looked bored.”

[Neko]

Glancing up at the voice, Neko blinked, raising an eyebrow "I'm very bored..there's nothing to do and.." She cut off, shuddering as a seagull breezed past her "..Gods above I hate birds..." She muttered. She stood and turned, pulling her crimson tresses into a ponytail. "I'm rather surprised someone else has decided to come here" She replied "Most of the time this pier is completely deserted.It's rather refreshing to see another human being..considering everyone else has seemed to up and dissapeared." She offered Claw a rare, yet genuine smile. Neko rarely, if ever expressed emotions (If she could help it).
"My name is Neko, Tsukino, Neko" She stated, and gave a light bow after introducing herself.

(Sorry, short post ^^')

[Claw]

Behind her mask, Claw’s lips twitched into a smile as a bird nearly hit the other girl. Her reasons for being at the dock weren’t far from her own. She nodded at Neko’s response. “I’ve never really come outside the city limits. Some friends of mine recommended this place, but you’re the only other person I’ve seen thus far.” She rolled her eyes playfully, pulling herself up so she was on the dock.

“I’m Kir--” Claw started to give her alias, but stopped midway. This ‘Neko’ seemed like a safe enough wager, but still... “I’m Kirimi. Ami, Kirimi.”

“And what are you up to, Tsukino-san...besides dodging seagulls?”

[Neko]

"Just trying to get away from the busy and crowded city..It's so nice here..and it's quiet..except for those damn seagulls.." Neko growled out and clenched her fists. She hated..DESPISED birds "..Stupid birds" She muttered, she sat back down,crossing her legs, she looked up at Kirimi. Compared to the other girl, Neko looked like a child. With her wide innocent eyes and long hair. Most people thought her at 14 or so, not a full grown woman of 20. A smile quirked onto her lips as she thought of how many times she had been ID'd at bars. It was rather amusing, and flattering at times. However, she was getting annoyed because of it. She wished she could grow, get herself up to at least average height. A sigh escaped her and she shook her head. "So, Kirimi-san, Why are you here?" She inquired.

[Claw]

"Ahh...I'm just escaping the world."
Claw's smile widdened. She hadn't talked to anyone like this in a long time...mostly because she never went to class. There also was the fact that some of the students considered her a delinquent. Despite her anti-social tendencies, Claw was always curious when it came to a person she didn't recognize. Tsukino-san looked so young, maybe around her age, but she'd never seen her in the public school. Maybe she's an upper-classmen? Claw's curiosity couldn't be controlled.
"Um, Tsukino-san? I don't mean to sound rude but...how old are you?" her eyes glinted with intrest. Then, she blanched for a minute. She didn't like how her voice sounded. It was to nice...to much like 'Kirimi', and not enough 'Claw'. Ah hell. She'll meet the real me soon enough...

[Neko]

Neko blinked and looked at Claw "I'm twenty years old" She replied, giving a light smile. She relaxed a bit "Let me guess...you probably thought I was a high school student, didn't you?" She inquired, her amethyst-hued gaze sparkling lightly. It was amusing, even now, a full grown woman,got mistaken for a teen at times. Neko chuckled lowly to herself, and glanced upwards.

(bleh, crappy short post, sorry ^^')

[Claw]

"Ah..haha..." Claw's face went a soft red, matching her highlights. "You caught me. Sorry, but I though you were my age. I visit To-Oh alot but I've never seen you, so I wasn't sure." She smiled against her mask. This girl was pretty cool, looking eight years younger aside. The blush faded after a while and Claw turned to look over the setting sun. "And I'm only a 3rd year in middle school. Do I look old enough to be a high schooler?" She smirked. Guess they both had age issues.

(OOC: Yay for short posts... XD)

[Neko]

Neko smiled a bit "Hai, you do" She replied softly, and smiled at her fully. "Looking younger is rather nice really, though at the current moment it is rather annoying, considering." She shrugged though, and stared at the setting sun as well "Beautiful night isn't it?" She looked at Claw a moment. She uncrossed her legs, and drew them up, resting her chin on her knees, her amethyst gaze narrowed slightly.

[Claw]

"Yeah, it is," Claw's eyes softened from their usual glare. It had been so long since she'd had a regular conversation with anyone about anything, and here was this girl looking just as lost as she was. It felt kind of cool not to be the only one bored with reality. She looked at the way Tsukino-san sat, raising an eyebrow. "Do you always sit like that...?" She smirked gently. Claw was begining to show. She mimiced the position and balanced on the balls of her feet. It wasn't uncomfortable, but she still felt a bit silly.
