#ryouko 01

۞⊱ Monaka found herself staring after a red-headed woman that day, and she had no idea why. The way she acted, the way she spoke to others, it was all very boring. She was wandering around as if she hadn’t got a clue, and after about an hour Monaka figured out she didn’t-- her book was the only reason she was functioning. A little book full of facts about her, huh? How sad, to not remember anything about yourself without the help of a few pieces of paper that could easily be destroyed. The only reason she had followed her was because she reminded Monaka of someone, but now it seemed like she could turn it into a fun game. 

Wheeling over to her with a slight smile, before bumping into her foot with an “oh” coming from her mouth, the red-headed girl fell to the floor and the book landed in her lap. Ryouko Otonashi was a name that was written there, probably hers, though she figured that was all that she needed to get some things out of her. Once she stood up, Monaka offered a smile and handed the woman the book once more. 

Nanami tapped the buttons on the machine with expertise, silently trailing her eyes across the screen. She had beaten this game plenty times before, and the high score list was simply her initials repeated down the list. This time she didn't beat her previous top score--but that didn't really matter. She quietly typed in the 'CNA' once more, yawning before stepping away for the next person to play. 

Looking around the arcade with tired eyes, she looked for a game she hadn't played before--or one she hadn't played much of. To her dismay, majority of the games that fit such a description were already occupied.

She would have to wait.

Walking over to a fighting game, she took a quarter from her pocket, gently reaching over to place it to call for next turn. When she looked over more closely to who was playing, she just blinked. The girl was hard from forgettable. Her red hair was very unnatural to see--it stood out easily.
