We Have All Been Genderflipped 2.0

The figure turns and makes their way to the counter, holding a bottle of water in each of their gloved hands. Now that they have turned around, it is much easier to see them, or rather her. Her hair is about shoulder length and is as messy as it appears to be from the back, carelessly swept to the sides to keep it from covering the yellow-green visor sitting above her eyes, which does little to obscure her stony face.

The rest of the mysterious handles can be seen clearly now as two medium length swords, strapped to her back between her and the large backpack, which only seems bigger now that the wearer can be seen.

"I'll take these." she says to the cashier, her voice almost entirely devoid of emotion. If one pays close attention, they can see that her words don't quite sync up with her mouth movements.

She either hasn't noticed the group, or doesn't care enough to look their way.

"I didn't have breakfast that long ago, but thanks for the offer." Ada answers. The mysterious, visibly armed woman seems to be the focus of her attention at the moment. Wonder if there's a con here or nearby. I mean, surely those aren't real...

Mikaela takes note of the woman's large swords and lack of sync with her words. She gives a suspicious stare.

"Yeah, sure thing."

The cashier rang up the woman, apparently taking no notice of the weapons she had on her person.

While she waits, the young woman takes a moment to evaluate her surroundings, almost immediately setting her eyes on the large group next to her. Her eyes register a brief and unusual recognition that elicits a stiffer posture. She looks away, but still regards them warily.

Mikaela continues to stare, but angles herself more away to make her gaze more subtle.

Bump

Ada cautiously observes the stranger while trying to pretend to look at everything that isn't the stranger. She appears a little bit uneasy.

Daydre glances at the woman, glances away, then snaps back to look at her again when his brain registers that she has weapons. He doesn't seem to realize he's staring.

Kit grabs a bag of tortilla chips and a soda before heading to the counter and waiting behind the girl. If she notices the swords, she doesn't seem too shocked.

The woman slings her backpack onto one shoulder to withdraw the appropriate amount of money from a side pocket. She pays the cashier and readjusts the backpack, earning a metallic clink from within. Her hands grab one water bottle each and she makes her way to the door, pausing in front of the group.

Her eyes lock on to Daydre's and she stares right at him, her cold, piercing glare seemingly looking through him. After a few seconds she turns back to the door and leaves without a word.

"The hell was her problem?", asked Mikaela with a sneer.

Ada heaves a sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Gah, bad vibes..." Seemed to know at least one of us from somewhere. Surely ain't me.... I hope. I don't recognize her.

Daydre blinks. Oh shoot, was he staring?.. Oops. He hoped she didn't interpret that as rude.. But it was probably too late for that.

Kit puts her generic snacks on the counter and gets out her wallet. "I'd like to buy these."

" ...You only need a computer?" Aquarius responded. " The way you were acting, I thought you were looking for, I dunno, an Arduino Uno microprocessor or something. I've got a laptop in my room, and I'm more than willing to let you borrow it. Just please don't mess up the settings on it, okay?"

Sighing, Nina stood up from the chair. "Whatever happened down there, I should at least look at it.", she mumbled to herself, as she walked towards the ballroom. A small sword was dangling from her hip at this point.

"Yeh, you got it". The cashier said as she rang Kit up for the snacks.

Akane watched silently as Nina exited the library, peering over a large book on oceanography to watch her leave.

Mikaela just puts a hand on Daydre's shoulder.

"You alright?", she asks.

Daydre blinks as Mikaela touches him. "Hm? Yeah, why?"

"Thanks." Kit heads towards the convenience store exit.

Ada leans on the door, looking towards the others. "Ready to head out...?" she asks.

"Well, that person with the huge backpack gave you a funny look."

She then turns to Ada at the door and responds, "Oh, right. We're coming now, don't worry."

Mikaela turns back to Daydre. "Ready to head out?"

"I think it was more because I stared at her..." Daydre trails off, then nods to show he's good to leave. He joins Ada by the door.

Mikaela walks towards the door as well.
