Starter For Mischievous-host
Ishiko stood in line at a food vender's booth at a cultural festival. The sun had gone down and the walkways were illuminated by a mix of street lights and lanterns. The first year student had wanted to get out of her house, which felt exceeding empty, even though both her parents her home. Kame, her mother, was an on-call trauma surgeon who worked long hours and was usually up until very early in the morning, and Hiroaki, her father, was the head of a large lawfirm who never seemed to stop working. The only time that she actually saw her parents were on Monday evenings, which were reserved for family dinners. Ishiko wasn't dressed any different than she would normally would be, even though some girls and women that passed her by were in kimonos. She wore a simple light blue sweater which complimented her eyes and a pair of black jeans. Her goal everywhere she went was to blend in, and she thought that she was doing exactly that. When it was her turn to order, she dug out her wallet and placed her order for an ice cream and a water, though, instead of putting her wallet back into her bag, she accidentally left it on the counter and forgot it as she walked away.
