"Do what you can... I'll be there soon. First though, I heard a friend of mine transferred back to this school. I'm going to see if I can't get in touch with her. Later."
With a snap, Linda closed her cell phone... Ending her call. The best thing about cell phones, prepaid ones were untraceable. Now that was love when setting up an operation like Linda was.
"Emily!" Linda shouted as she walked through the halls of 259 and after turning each corner. She was hoping Emily would hear her. It was time consuming... but it should work.. .right?

Emily wasn't exactly really fitting in as much as she used to. Things were different, and albeit made her feel somewhat alienated at the place she first considered to be home.
42 transfers were abundant in this school; almost as if schools around the US are exchanging students every now and then. Though, she supposed it was normal here in the west, where there were lots of schools still utilizing the Pillar system.
There were misunderstandings left and right; and albeit a lot of people whom had heard of her fit of rage in 42.
Kinda made her look like a bad person, huh? Unfair; but well - nothing was ever fair in life. Emily knew that very, very well.
She was walking around today, having finished her last class for the afternoon. It wasn't really easy having to get used to another place- and that was something she hated about having to move so much. Maybe it was the culture, or maybe it was just the kind of people she interacted with that got her to be in this sort of situation again?
Perhaps, maybe her own fault?
Lost in her thoughts, Emily barely noticed her name being called out from the corner of the main hall, only noticing it when she caught a glance of a familiar, large-chested woman - Linda.
"Emily!"
Emily stopped in her tracks and turned around, smiling when she finally realized that Linda was calling out to her. "Hey," She said, waving her hand as a greeting. "You transferred too? Interesting how people move so often."

"Hey, You transferred too? Interesting how people move so often." Linda ran up to Emily once she responded and located her in the crowds.
"Yeah, seems like everyone from 42 moved back down here. I really wonder how they expect us to keep moving whenever they transfer us to a different school." Linda sighed.
Curse you Mr. Purple... Curse you!
Linda looked around a little bit, then brought her attention back to Emily.
"It doesn't feel the same does it?" She asked, hoping that she wasn't alone in her feeling like the odd one out. "It feels like so much has changed here... and its just different. I dunno, I could be crazy." She said with a sigh.
It was true, 259 had changed since she had been gone. The walls were fixed up, and there was not too much fighting going on. Off the top of her head, she could only recall even seeing one conflict and it was ended quickly by a teacher. This was definitely not the same place.

Everyone, huh? Wow. Emily supposed it was because 259 was rebuilt again, so there was no need to stay in 42 any further. Emily would've liked to stay for longer though, as she had gotten quite tired of moving all the time.
I mean, she has moved a total of 5 times all throughout her life; who would want to move THAT often within a span of 12 years? I mean, seriously - where's the stability in that?
"It doesn't feel the same does it? It feels like so much has changed here... and its just different. I dunno, I could be crazy." Then Linda sighed. Little did the dragon know that Emily felt exactly the same way. Emily laughed and gave Linda a smile.
"I feel the same way, actually." She revealed, "It's a bit weird; I mean, 259's like the first place I transferred to from Japan so... I don't know why it feels weird to be here again."
Emily shrugged, "Maybe it's the people. Meh, right now I'd much rather not have people recognize me as the old School Captain." She pointed at her black hair. It used to be silver, and Linda would hopefully notice the variation."

Linda laughed as Emily pointed out the change in her hair color.
"I saw Em," she laughed, "but you forget how creepy people that you don't want to find you... can always find you. It doesn't mater how much you change, if someone wants to find you they can." Linda paused as she put a finger on her chin, a look of thought crossed her face as she looked up attempting to recall information. "Its probably because someone stole all those school files a while back, remember? The ones that had like data on every student?" Her eyes fell back to Emily. She couldn't recall exactly who stole them, but she knew that someone did. It probably wasn't all that relevant to the conversation... but it would explain how some groups of people were always able to find others that were trying to remain under the radar.
OoC- Sorry for the late reply, been sick my lovely <3

"I saw Em, but you forget how creepy people that you don't want to find you... can always find you. It doesn't mater how much you change, if someone wants to find you they can."
"At least those who don't want to find me, but do see me, will not be able to point me out as easily as they did. Lots of people are asian AND have black hair in this school."
"Its probably because someone stole all those school files a while back, remember? The ones that had like data on every student?"
Uh, that one? Emily couldn't remember that from the tip of her tongue, but she remembered a bit - yeah. "I can't remember well, but I think, yeah." She said. "Though, those files are probably outdated. The most reliable source of information right now would be 259's rosters, considering that most of us in 42 moved residences, changed numbers and probably even did a few physical changes prior to moving."

Linda chuckled, but in her head she was clapping up a storm. Emily was on top of her shit. She knew what Linda was talking about, but wasn't too worried, clearly. Then again though, why should she be? Emily had gained an amazing amount of strength while at 42, she could take anyone that could even be considered as a threat in this school.
"Ooo, good point Em. I should try to get my hands on some of those records. I'm 'hunting wabits' you see." She said with a smile.
If Emily asked who she was hunting, Linda would tell without any hesitation. She knew Em would keep it to herself, but if anyone heard, it was just as well... Linda wanted her enemies to know that the end was coming.

"Ooo, good point Em. I should try to get my hands on some of those records. I'm 'hunting wabits' you see."
"'Wabbits' huh?" Emily asked, her right eyebrow raised in slight curiosity. "Mind sharing what these 'wabbits' are?"
What? Sounded like fun, at least for Emily. Yeah, she's changed to some degree. Her having resolved her alter-ego issue, she had found herself with a new state of temperament; at least for what she knows right now.
"Maybe you could use some dogs to sniff them out?"

Linda smiled.
"Yessem, I betcha I could use some help. You see, I is huntin dem Dragon kind of wabbits." Linda answered playfully in a whisper. She was only like this when she was comfortable, and she felt a great deal of comfort with Emily around.
"I'd tell you more out here, but I think people might over hear us." She smiled a lil' wider, "Got any ideas?"

Dragon wabbits?
That's certainly something Emily hadn't heard of before - especially from a dragon. She began to wonder if something has been up. Maybe something happened between Linda and the rest of them?
What about Mathew? Leon? Chrynos?
Emily wanted to ask something, but was promptly reminded of where they were.
"... I have an empty apartment a few blocks away from here." she said, "We could talk there."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! Something about telling plans in an open area, like school, where all ears can hear you... Just didn't sound appealing. Linda was more than happy to hear not only that Emily wanted to hear more of her plan, but that she also had a safe place to share it. Friends are win. "I think it would be best if we go there. You never know who could be listening" (OR READING  >.> <.<!!!) Linda looked around, there was nobody watching her... yet. OoC - Sry I'm late lovely <3

"I think it would be best if we go there. You never know who could be listening" Emily nodded and searched her pockets for her wallet. Where was that old business card? The one that had an english address to the 707 apartments and everything else in nihonggo? Ah, there. Emily found it behind her more recent business card.
She passed the piece of paper over to Linda. "That's the address; and my number is on there too, if you need it." Emily said, "Wait by the 7th floor, first door to the right at eight o clock. We'll talk there. As soon as you see me, give me back this card."
Emily gave Linda a warm smile before turning around to head to her lockers to get her books and stuff. She'd have to drop them off by Ryuu's place, and then head off to the 707 apartments.

Linda nodded, and took the card from Emily's hand, acknowledging that she understood the terms she had laid out. Linda would respectfully follow them without another thought.
"Alright, I'll see you there soon then."
Emily then turned and walked off, probably to prepare, and Linda would do the same. The hallway meeting had been adjourned, and smoothly. Now the two would have REAL matters to address at the meeting place.
Linda looked down at the card.
707 apartments huh?... Alright I know where that is at.
After confirming the address she slipped the card into her pocket.

That evening, Emily had her things set up. There was food in the refrigerator, as well as cold water, and a few other important things that Emily needed to eat.
Yes, there was something Emily needed to eat at least once a day or totally face some unpleasant experiences. Yup, Emily's got her beef sashimi ready, just in case.
Why? Well, Linda may find out later if she sticks around late enough.
Emily sat around by her old white table, staring out the window she had missed the past few months.

Linda glanced down at the card Emily had given her, confirming the address on the door. It was time. Linda knew she had to tell Emily just what she was planning, it was only fair of her to do so... if she could look at her and call her a friend.
*Knock* *Knock* *knock* The thuds of her knuckles striking the door would surely get Emily's attention, assuming that the address was correct.
There was so much to tell Emily. So much to tell...
"Here goes nothing..."
