Who: Misato Katsuragi and Abby Perkins
When: May 4th, afternoon
What: Misato and Abby hit up the indoor ice skating rink downtown.
Where: Downtown Locke
Warnings: None.

Misato Katsuragi has a sports car. She has thrown more money at this vehicle than she did at anything else she's ever owned in her entire life. There is probably no item in her possession that she's ever had in her entire 23 years that she's ever loved as much as that vehicle.

So naturally, one would think that she'd be careful with it. That she'd obey all traffic regulations, drive the speed limit, and maintain a safe distance between her vehicle and the one in front of her.

Not the case with Misato Katsuragi. She's speeding through town at ten over the speed limit, weaving into one lane, and then into another with the hopes of reaching her destination in reasonable time.

It's six minutes past the arranged meeting time when Misato pulls up to the bus stop where she agreed to meet Abby. The aurburn-haired girl is already standing there when she hitches the passenger side door open.

"Sorry! Get in. Am I real late?"

Luckily, all Abby did was land back on the place where there was always a built in air cushion. However, that didn't mean that it didn't hurt! As she got Misato's hand, she gave out a small wince.

"Y-Yeah, I think I'm okay...I just wasn't paying attention! I didn't realize how slippery the ice really was! It really is a harsh thing to anyone who doesn't know how to skate! How do you do it?"

She said before pointing at her. "You seem to be doing just fine!"

"Guess I never really forgot how to skate," Misato says. "I guess it helps that rollerblading was still a thing when I was a kid." Misato can't even remember the last time she saw anyone rollerblading.

"This is why you need to get a boyfriend. At least if you fall over, you fall over holding his hand. You could probably use him as a cushion when you fall, too."

Abby just gave a giggle. "That poor poor boy! If that happens, I'll need to have him be a cushion ever day for the rest of his life! And especially with how many times I bump into things!"

However, there was another pause. "But yeah, I think...I just got an echo a moment there..." And it was with someone else again too.

"Isn't that the one thing guys are good for?" Misato teases. All joking aside, Misato has had a few ex-boyfriends that made for some pretty comfortable cushioning when they were sprawled on the couch or in the bed.

"Oh?" Misato's interest piques at the mention of an Echo. "A good one, I hope!"

[sjokolade]

"Pretty much! Guys are pretty much our boy toys?" She gave another giggle. The teen never really had a boyfriend before but she had wondered what it would be like to have one. Then again, she was far too busy with her own life right now for one...

But anyway! Echoes!

She gave a nod. "I think so! I remembered ice skating with someone but...that's about it though?" That and there was that feeling she knows this person but who were they anyway?

Misato's frown is a thoughtful one. The brunette sets a hand against the rail to maintain her balance; a few skaters skate past them, laughing.

"Well, I guess that's something. You don't remember who that person is, do you?"

[sjokolade]

She shook her head. It was frustrating but there wasn't anything she could do. "No. I mean, I'm certain I know this person before? It's just this weird feeling? I don't know, you get what I'm saying?"

Probably not but as she hold on to the rail, she could feel herself slipping again! "But until then...! I should probably need to start skating somehow!"

seems like a good place to wrap this up!

[imbibing]

"Deja vu?" It was probably something like that. "Anyway, I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually. I'm just surprised my shot in the dark actually landed."

Misato flashes a smile at Abby as she pulls her arm away from the rail. She moves one leg forward, then the other, as she begins to glide across the ice.

She glances back at Abby for just one fleeting moment.

"Just keep moving forward, okay?"

Seems good to me!

[sjokolade]

"Your shot actually landed? Uh, what do you mean by that?" She questioned before she slowly attempted to do what her friend was doing.

Slowly, step by step, she extended her arms away from the rail before there was only one hand holding to said rail.

"W-Well, if you say so..." She mumbled before trying to move forward. Will she fall again? Who knows but at least she's trying!
