Followed to the Cafeteria (open)

Ran Yamamoto and Karen Momoki followed Riko to the cafeteria after the battle Riko had lost against Sora. The two of them ran after her, hoping to still talk to her about the battle. Mostly out of curiosity, the two wanted to know the feeling of fighting such an intense battle against a Blue Ranked warrior. What they really wanted to know is how it felt to battle against a warrior like Sora, who almost defeated the Head Warrior. As they tailed behind Riko they both grabbed their own tray and food. "So, what do you think she'll say?" "I don't know, I just want to know if she was excited or angry?" "I kinda wish that I could fight Sora." "Do you, really? He would defeat Yellow Ranks like us in seconds." "...Now that you put it that way, never mind." Ran and Karen went back in forth discussing different questions and different answers that Riko might give for their questions. Simply for his most recent battle before the fight against Riko, Sora was a school idol. Even as only a Blue Ranked Warrior, he was still highly known because of his fight against the Head Warrior.

Sora pulled a chair to the table and sat in front of Riko. She hadn't noticed him yet due to her eyes being closed so at first he didn't say anything. He just sat there with his fries and ate it one at a time.

"Hey, uh...Riko. Its me Sora. Are you okay? i heard you yelling from across the cafeteria."

Ran and Karen were shocked at how Riko acted towards them. They were a bit shaken at first but that quickly changed when Sora sat down in front of Riko. Immediately, they ran to either side of Sora and took the seats there. They both looked at Sora as he talked to Riko. Now there was even more to say. Ran was a bit shy that Sora was there even though she knew him somewhat well from their previous spar but Karen was well prepared to question him. "Terribly sorry to interrupt you, but Sora, could you tell us exactly how the battle against the Head Warrior went. Exactly how close were you to winning? Please tell me. I'm just really curious." Ran intervened, thinking about Sora and how tired he must be about the fighting since he recently battle the Head Warrior and even more recently, battled Riko. "Uh...Karen..Maybe this isn't, you know, the best time to talk about it." "Nonsense. I'm sure Sora would like to tell us about his battle right Sora?" Karen was so excited that she couldn't hold herself back from the questions.

Sora could tell that Riko was done trying to talk. He wanted to be friends with her but he also didn't want to be mean to the other girls, especially Ran since he had already known her and knew that she was a nice person. He looked at the other girl asking questions.

"i understand that you're curious, but perhaps you could give Riko a chance to talk. She was going to say something until you interrupted her. Let's all just take turns talking."

Karen looked at Sora with wide open eyes. She was still waiting for an answer to her series of questions. Ra watched, realizing that neither Sora or Riko were too happy about what was going on.

OOC: Is this still going on?

OOC: Yeah. I guess its my turn.

IC: Sora smiled and shook his hands towards Ran and Karen. Although he was flattered by what was said he didn't really feel like answering in front of Riko. He was trying to be nice and apologize for the way he acted and the way he may have come off. Talking about his previous battles wasn't really the best time for it.

"You know what, how about instead of talking about myself we all talk about each other and get to know each other better? What do you think? Perhaps I'll talk more about my battles in the future at a more convenient time."

Ran smiled as she heard Sora say they could talk about each other. Karen frowned. "Oh, okay. Fine. I really wanted to hear about your fight though. So who wants to start first?" Karen looked down, realizing that she didn't have any food to eat in the meantime."

Sora smiled and looked over Riko. He didn't really want to put her on the spot but he also wanted to hear about her life. He knew that it would help him understand her more. The same could be said for the others as well as himself.

"So your full name is Riko Mashii? Well, I guess its my turn. As you already know, I'm Sora. A few years ago, my island vanished and my life changed forever. I was chosen by some mysterious force that I kinda still don't understand to control this weapon known as the keyblade. Ever since then, I've been fighting these monsters known as Heartless and Nobodies that seem to keep attacking me. At first, I was traveling to find my friends but soon after being reunited with them, we all went our own way to start our own adventures. Basically...well, here I am now."

Sora smiled at the others while trying to hold in a laugh that came from his own terrible story. He scratched behind his head and looked at the others at the table, ready to hear their stories.

Ran was going to speak but she decided not to, not really wanting to say much at all about her past. Unfortunately for Ran, she is not very used to talking a lot to people that were really unfamiliar to her. She looked up at Sora and Riko and then stared away. Instead of her talking, Karen blurted in, yammering on about herself. "Well, I was born in Ziale Country, a somewhat decent country. My homeland, Lerneae that is, is this beautiful place with the best hotsprings you could ever find! You haven't lived until you've visited it. But anyway, I lived there, in the city of Lerneae, not the hotsprings themselves though, and was pretty average. I guess you could say that I was a bit of a bookworm since I read and studied a lot. Eventually, I began to read about magic and alchemy and after nearly months of begging to transfer, I finally found my way here. So, well, here I am! Karen Momoki."
