Keiko ignored everyone else and just took cover under the table, hugging herself and counting down to the moment of the explosion.

3...2...1...

And then nothing. No explosion, no loud boom, no people panicking. It dawned into Keiko what really did happen only a few seconds later... After the which she couldn't help it but to exclaim "Who the hell pretends to be a crazy bomber in their mind!?"

Dropping down, and hearing her comment, Shamus was pissed, "IS EVERYONE TRYING TO READ MY MIND?" Then he added "and where in the blazes did you come from?"

"A little hard not to when you're practically yelling your thoughts!" Keiko snapped back before she realized in what situation she was.

Crawling from under the table she stood upright and patted the dust out of her skirt... Her outfit quite clearly not the uniform of the Presidium.

"Elena Manfred from the Presidium bomb squad. Please, do not make false mental bomb threats. It may seem like harmless fun but you really make our job harder" Keiko said in a complete deadpan tone before bowing her head and attempting to walk away without getting in trouble...

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I wasn't trying to read your mind," Urahiro said to Shamus.

Then, turning to Keiko, Urahiro said, "Um, I'm afraid I'm going to need to see some ID."

Keiko stopped at the kitsune's words... figures that one of the Youkai her sister so dearly loved would become so much trouble for her. Letting out a small sigh she turned back and said "I figured you might..."

She then stared at the food remaining on all plates and used her telepathic powers, making a bit of it shoot itself at Urahiro as if thrown. Then she focused on another pieces and flung them without any particular target all around the dinning room... just as she transmitted a very loud thought all around the place

"FOOD FIGHT!"

With that, and the chaos she hoped she had just laid the seeds for, she started running as fast as her legs would allow towards the nearest exit.

While the others were acting up, Jakob continued eating, but got increasingly annoyed with the whole situation. There was no real danger here, but that was no reason to act like a bunch of hormone-ridden high schoolers either.

"Christ Shamus, behave yourself. You are an officer and 29 years for Pete's sake!", he said under his breath to his colleague, "not to mention that we are in a freaking HIGH SCHOOL and not in a goddamn combat zone!"

He was about to snap at the young woman who had appeared under the table when a full plate flew in the direction of the table. He growled and created a rudimentary force field around the table, just enough to stop any food coming in their direction. A little but overblown maybe, but it would look better if they didn't get hit by anything.

A plate crashed into the forcefield inches from Zenko's face, and she sighed with mild irritation. Standing up, she did the only thing she could think of to calm everyone down. She released a stifling wave of power, an aura which would manifest like sheer weight to anyone spiritually inclined. Most couldn't produce such an effect by doing this, but most weren't Zenko.

After the effects of this sudden intrusion had been felt and the food stopped flying, Zenko let go. "Alright everybody, calm down. There has been a mild misunderstanding, and it has been resolved. There is no longer a need to cause a scene, nor was there ever. Do I make myself clear? Good."

She sat down, her voice made heard. Zenko sighed. "Honestly..."

Let me know if it doesn't work that way.

"Er..." Urahiro said before being smacked by the flying food.

He wiped himself off and tried to say, "Hey!" but got blasted by Zenko's power wave as if someone had turned on a 10,000 watt hair dryer right next to him.

Well, jeez, he thought.

He looked again at Keiko, and turning to the group, he said, "I don't think she's actually a member of the AP - are we going to stop her? Let security deal with it?"

"Son of a bitch, Jakob, use your head. Of course I know we're in a damned high school? Someone just blinked out of nowhere, charged right at me, went apeshit on my lunch, and I didn't try to stab them. I don't know about you, but I'm going to go after her... and..." his head was feeling a bit light, but hearing Urahiro, he added "...yeah... let security get them. I need more beef. Or maybe it was chicken."

There was a man in the mask gloomily eating near the corner. He didn't have a worry about anything. He wasn't frustrated about some event in the past, or had his fish die on him (he carefully placed instructions to Marc to take care of them). It was something that some people would love to own and hate others that already have.

He had no worries. He just didn't have anything he could whine about. The job was great, fun aside from the occasional killjoy that hasn't been interacting with him for long. He was getting a decent amount of sleep. In fact, he just had three and twelve second of rest while eating (which he also got a decent serving of).

The lack of such gave him such, in short.

Estryggr gave a sigh. A distraction would be nice. The nearby foodfight would've been interesting, if he actually knew what caused it. All he knew was someone was complaining about someone was thinking of being a bomber in their head. That wasn't a good thought if one was attempting to avoid their mind being read. He would've just pulled some minor thing like some lines from a book he read while doing something else entirely. That usually works. On novices anyway, the mind reading experts were probably desensitized to whatever defenses or horrible images their target was thinking of.

And he never liked food fights, taking a bit from the thrown beef on the wall. Especially after the durian incident. How those fruits got there was beyond him. At least that foxy lady put a stop to it before it could escalate. He adjusted himself and the mask as he slid under the table and out the other side. He was going to meet that little intruder. It was odd that he could jack someone who he couldn't notice. Then again, no one really noticed a green haired man wearing a mask eating in the corner. Or they just accepted that a masked man was calmly just taking his lunch, it happens. That summed up his high school life. But staying on track, he had nothing else to do, so why not get some answers?

He did a quick jog in the direction of the girl, seeing as he got her "traced" and all and could probably find her if he didn't hit a dead end. The exit was nearby of course, otherwise he'd have to write a complaint about the lack of fire escapes. Hopefully she'd take a look at the exit doors so he could seal them telekinetically. Otherwise he had to apply a wee bit of force to slow her down, which meant possibly giving her a scrapped knee or a nosebleed from tripping her.

If there are any complaints, please PM me and I will adjust accordingly.

And Keiko indeed did find the exit to the cafeteria... only to find it closed due to the powers of a certain sight jagging masked man.

The hell? This was open when I came by... thought Keiko before she proceeded to try and kick the door open.

Meanwhile, Eloise made her way to the table where the whole commotion had started "Hey, what was all that about? The whole food flying and force fields during lunch hour?"

"Well, that girl over there claimed to be a part of the 'Presidium Bomb Squad' and when I asked for some ID, she flipped out and ran for the doors," Urahiro said, pointing to Keiko, "It looks like someone's got her, though."

The girl didn't try a different path, opting to attempt to force the door open. He could probably leave it sealed for as long as he wanted. It would've taken a great deal of force to push out, more than she could possibly put out at least. However, he'd give her three kicks before releasing the hold to avoid any unneeded injuries to her leg.

One, two, three! Three kicks, three! he thought. He jogged a bit more quickly, until he reached her and the blocked door. Not that she was too far; The small lead she had was reversed by the unopening doors.

"So there you are! It's very rude to cause a ruckas you know, and run away without apologizing." he said to her, walking closer.

"If I say sorry will you just let me walk away from this?" asked Keiko as she turned back to glance at what she saw as an officer of the Presidium with a little grin. Though she felt really tempted to make a comment on his weird and slightly creepy fashion sense, she decided that it would not be of help right now.


"Ah, now that's some trouble. Don't know if we even have one of those..." Eloise said while turning back to glance at the girl who seemed cornered by another officer. She decided that she had a bit of time "Is everyone alright here?"

"Of course. You were just acting in response to a possible bomb threat from what I could gather. Although I will need a explanation on why you decided to infiltrate this particular location. However, if you decide to evade your apologizing and questioning by escaping, I will in fact, detain you for until your parent slash guardian comes to pick you up." Estryggr said, in a monotonous voice.

"And yes, everything is alright, this young lady will hopefully cooperate in this endeavor." he finished, not bothering to face the other woman. The girl could pull a fast one, so he didn't turn away. What he did was to move to the side, making a gesture for the girl to move back into the cafeteria.

"Parent Slash Guardian is the very reason why I'm here" Keiko said, crossing her arms "Alright mask man, back away a little and we can talk about this on a free table or something"

"Already am." Estryggr responded, moving his head towards the empty space from the cafeteria and her point out that yes, he in fact is in a space where the girl can freely move back without him impeding her path. He kept his eyes on her the whole time however.

"I'm doing fine, but maybe want to clean up a bit or get a change of clothes," Urahiro said to Eloise, motioning to the food stains on his clothes.

"Are you part of the security here?" Urahiro said.

With that space, Keiko made her way with as much dignity as she could muster towards a nearby empty table where she sat down and waited for the man to start his interrogation.

Meanwhile, Eloise nodded her head at Urahiro's question "Yup, I got the lunch room shift today. I'm sorry that I didn't react fast enough to prevent the food throwing"

"It's fine. Just a little mess." Zenko said with a smile. "I kinda feel like I owe the janitors an apology though." she said, rubbing her head embarrassedly.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Zenko," she said, offering out her hand. "I'm a freelancer for the Presidium."

Snapping out of his daze, Shamus hastily said "Son of a bitch!" and walked over to where the insane girl was, though she was now seated by some stranger in a mask. Mask? That's so impractical he thought, comparing it to his trusty balaclava that he had tucked away in his vest. "What's going on here?" he said towards the man, though keeping his eye on the girl.

"Ah, I'm Eloise, Eloise Marguerite Croise. I work security for the Presidium and I'm an Artifical Magic Drive Weapon user" said Eloise as she shook the Youkai's hand, a sparkle coming to her eyes as she did so. The woman in front of her seemed like a very strong person... after spending some time training one came to be able to recognize such things.


Keiko looked up at Shamus with certain amount of ill will "Excuse me, bomber. I already have an interrogator and I'm quite glad with him, doubt I need another one"

Ding... dong...

A bell sounded. It echoed through the halls of the school building, through the many libraries. The students looked up, regardless of what they were doing before hand, be it homework, sparring, or some other matter. "All students and AP Personal, please report to the central auditorium located in the center of the school complex. Please come to the auditorium in the center of the school complex." the feminine voice said. "It's urgent." the voice then died out.

It was short and abrupt. Some students listened, others ignored, but a fine majority got up from there seats to empty their trays in the cafeteria. Other workers did the same and soon they made their way out of the room.

"I am just asking for a explanation of the commotion she made earlier." Estryggr told the man. Afterwards he faced the girl, taking a seat across from her. "And do you really have to use the term, "interrogation"? It sounds so...criminal while the action in question was just a equivalent of a prank. And all I really need is your name and-"

Before he could say anything else, the bell rung. Afterwards the intercom told all inhabitants of the school to enter the auditorium. "-your reason for coming here." he continued. "Well we can talk while walking, so shall we?" he clapped both his hands and stood up, waiting for the girl to follow suit.

"It's nice to meet you, Eloise." Zenko said. While she would've loved to chat further, the announcement quickly caught both of their attentions.

"Well, that looks to be us. We'd better get moving."
