Saiko Saika scrolled through her phone, muttering in a mix of five different languages. No messages. No one was online. No one had done anything remotely interesting online in the past three days. The most interesting thing was that she had moved to San Diego and got a free day in L.A. courtesy of dear old pops. Of course, dear old pops was off doing whatever it was that Navy people did in L.A. when they were stationed in San Diego. She didn't even know what there was to do in L.A. It seemed all there really was to do was sweat a lot, and according to the women over there throw water balloons at each other. Or if you're taking the men as an example, walk around shirtless and whistle at women. She was having none of those. God forbid her phone get wet. She had worked too hard making it. location....Los Angeles - Mood....Bored - Playlist....Play Me  |

Jack Jones [  • • • • The Heat…
BEEP…BEEP…BEEP… The shrill sound of his alarm woke him, with its familiar but annoying sound. Jack reached from under the blankets that he had formed over him like a turtle shell, slapping the top of the alarm clock.
“Shit… What time is it???, was today the day I was trying to meet up with that Chicka? What was her real name again? Saiko, I think?”
He thought to himself as he tried remembering the difference between his long time online friends real name, versus her known online moniker. It was far easier to remember her online name, especially because it was the name he used for her countless times. However, the difference in knowing her real name and also meeting her in person was very different things.
Jack picked up his phone, sloppily pulling up her number with his freshly woken up, lack of dexterity fingers. He might have been fast or even by some comparison dexterous, but when he had just woken up its like his mind hadn’t quite caught up with him.
He hits the button to call Saiko swiping the button for speakerphone. Realizing he should probably start getting dressed he looks around his room from the view of his bed looking for his clean clothes

Saiko Saiko's phone rang. She answered on bluetooth. "Jones-y. You're late." She tapped her foot impatiently. A gaggle of sorority girls walked up behind her. They appeared to be waiting for something or another. Saiko leaned further back against the wall and pulled her scarf over her face and headset. "Yeah I know, I know. I'll be there in fifteen. Wanna meet at the restaurant? Where was it you wanted to go for lunch again?" The sorority girls giggled. Some guy was jogging up. He had shaggy hair which looked, frankly, a bit dumb and unkempt. Apparently that was trendy with Americans. "I'm already on campus. You wanna just meet me here? I'm in the square, by the wall with the graffiti. Says Pay the Ferryman and he'll take you where you need to go. Spooky Grim Reaper motif, ya know?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll see you there." Jack Jones hung up. Jogging guy dodged out of the way of some biker and rammed straight into Saiko. Saiko fell sideways from the collision into someone who pushed her back upright. "What the fuck, dude?" Saiko demanded of the jogger. She heard her exact sentiments echoed from the person she had bumped into. location....Los Angeles - Mood....Bored - Playlist....Play Me

A routine jog through the campus was something that Torrance enjoyed almost as much as his fans seemed to enjoy it. They were the reason he stopped wearing head phones on his jogs not to mention here would rather hear the girls giggling. Usually he would give them a quick wave or at least a wink as he passed a group, but he would never stop when they tried talking to them. In his life there was not really time for dates so he only gave them enough to keep them thinking of him cause it was always good to have adoring fans. Today was no different as he saw a group of ladies walking across the street whispering among each other as if he did not already know they were talking about him.
Laughing to himself he gave them a wave when he suddenly noticed a biker about to run into him making him jump to the side. Not noticing the blue haired girl he slammed into her before almost face planting against the wall, his nose nearly touching the wall as let out a sigh of relief. Hearing the anger in the girls voice he stood up right then turned to apologize, only to receive a fist to his face making him stubble back. His eyes closed momentarily as he clasped his hands to his face in pain as he yelled out of frustration with being punched.
“Sony of a…”
Before he could finish what he was saying he felt his feet slip on some water ‘oh crap’ was all he thought before he was flat on his back.
"Ouch"

Jack Jones [ • • • • The Heat…
The phone clicked off finishing their call and Jack realized he was still only in his boxers. Looking down at the floor and then around the room Jack ascertained where some clean clothes are. To be fair his room wasn’t dirty, it was just lacking a lot of organization.
Jack grabbed a towel and bolted for the bathroom, his only roommate Ken knew of his powers. So it wouldn't be an issue if he was seen doing his speedster thing around the place. Well, as long as he didn’t break anything or make the apartment messier.
Then in an instant he was a blur into the shower, the water was on “Ohhhhhhh maaannnn that colds!” Jack’s voice would ring out.
After the water warmed it was a flurry of cleaning himself, then he stood with a towel wrapped around his waist in front of the bathroom mirror. He had showered so fast condensation hadn’t even formed yet, and here he stood brushing his teeth super-fast. Then another blur of motion, he was in his room and was now mostly dressed trying to put his shirt on. A few seconds later and he was in the kitchen grabbing his keys, another flash and he’s at the door. His motion now slows down to that of a normal person. He opens the door stepping into the outside world, then closes the door behind himself and locks it.
“Ken must be out as well?” Jack wonders to himself.
After locking his apartment door and only a minute or less as past since he got off the phone Jack slowly walks out of his apartment complex to a back alley that he had taken many times before. He looks around making sure no one can see him from any direction, then he’s off. Another blur running so fast be can barely be seen by the naked eye.
“The place Saiko wants to meet is normally 15 minutes away, I could probably get there in 2 or less, and then have enough time to calm down for a minute before walking up.”
He runs through the back alleys of the campus, the less known paths and roads until he finds himself moments later on the other side of campus. He sees his friends off in the distance.
“What is Torrance doing here?” He thinks to himself.
He runs along a back path behind some bushes between one of the buildings and slides out of the path just in time to catch his friend by the hand before he slams on the ground. Making sure to slow down right before he hits the edge of the path, so it looks like he jumped out to surprise Saiko and Torrance from the nearby alley and just happened in time to grab Torrance by the hand.
Ok moment of truth, do I wait a bit and let Torrance fall on his ass possibly hitting his head on the ground? Yeah that would be bad. Or do i speed up even further and catch him, possibly being seen myself? No one's gonna see me.
“Woah, I got you bud.” Jack would say appearing from the alley, his hand firmly supporting Torrance’s head just before it possibly hits the ground. Like a baseball slide into the home plate.

Saiko As Saiko had turned to apologize to the girl behind her, the girl swung a fist. Saiko, with her years of common sense training, dodged the sloppy sorority girl punch. The punch then hit the shaggy haired guy in the face. The guy was apparently even clumsier than her because he tripped over his own feet and fell back, only to have Jack Jones appear out of nowhere and catch him. How gooily romantic. "Oh Jonesy, nice of you to drop by. Now if you and Shaggy here are done holding hands, I'm starving." Saiko kicked at the dirt as the sorority girl blubbered out apologies to the jogger guy who would now forever be known as Shaggy. In Korean she muttered something about "Americans are weird, right?" location....Los Angeles - Mood....Bored - Playlist....Play Me

Just when his head was about to hit the pavement his momentum suddenly stopped and when he opened his eyes there was Jack. Jumping up he began dusting himself off then upon hearing the girl talking to Jack he couldn’t help laughing at what she called him. Putting his hand up to the blabbering fan girl he turned to his good friend with a smirk
“Wait. Jonesy… is this your gamer girl?!”
Shaking his head a bit he then turned to the blue haired girl as he bushed his hair from his eyes to get a better look. She seemed to dress in a pretty interesting manner and the blue haired does make her stand out from the rest.
“Well are you okay… sorry for bumping into you”
Putting his hand forward with the intention of offering to shake hands he gave her a friendly smirk with hopes of making a better start.

“Yeah this is Saiko.” Jack would respond to Torrance’s question with a smile. “But anyways, glad I was close enough to catch your dome, bro. Wouldn’t want you getting a concussion or something, cause then the team would definitely lose this season.”
Jack would look from Saiko to Torrance and then back to Saiko. “Yeah, where are my manners like he said this is Torrance, Torrance this is my friend Saiko from Korea.”
Jack would say as Torrance’s hand would stand outstretched.
“Oh, also Koreans don’t really shake hands. It’s more of a bow thing Torrance. Certain American customs sometimes stick but Saiko is a new arrival so it’s up to her.” Jack would say trying to clear any tension just in case it wasn’t a custom Saiko was comfortable with yet.

Saiko Saiko glanced over Shaggy's smirk. He was definitely American, every sense of it too. Muttering in Korean, she said "You know, I have been to America once or twice. Dad is American and all." Saiko bowed slightly. She still liked the tradition better than shaking hands. Besides his were bleeding a bit from trying to catch himself on his fall. "So, Torrance, you are on the team with Jones? Also, I don't think I'm really anybody's anything. Much less Jones' gamer girl." She smiled as pleasantly as she could over her scarf. Gently she grabbed the edge of Jack's sleeve and tugged. She was really ready for food and very confused why they were all just standing around. location....Los Angeles - Mood....Mildly Irritated- Playlist....Play Me Speaking In
