Looking for the Black Market (Nightstripe)

"I hear you can join some club if you drop off your signed stuff in a book at the library between a certain time..."

This rumor going around was what led Mizuko (who found out about it the same day she figured she needed it) to easily file her request to join the I&A Club. She finished it at around two in the afternoon, and just in line with her cheery personality, she went to look for Wesker immediately. He didn't have to have her file already; she knew he didn't. But she wanted to let him know she was done. And so she set out, scanning people's recent thoughts if they've come across the guy he was looking for.

The campus was huge, no doubt in that, but Mizuko had no trouble tracking the guy. Thankfully, he was just inside the campus as well. Once she found him, she quickly made her way to him to tell him what she wanted him to know.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Straundlin!" she greeted. Her smile was just as vibrant as the tone of her voice. Their last conversation had been in Japanese, but as much as possible, she wanted to speak to him in english too, even though formal english was pretty weird.

"I just finished filing an application for the club, uh, just so you know." Of course, Mizuko would walk beside the other, as she's caught up.
@"Nightstripe" I'm sorry it took so long q_q

Wesker was simply strolling down a hallway with a the dozens of other students, all running to head for their last classes or to clubs. He on the other hand had finished with all of his business for the day, according to the ledger he was currently flipping through. He was idly wandering in the general direction of the dorms when Mizuko caught up with him.

"Ah, Tsuushi-san." He addressed her with the Japanese title even though he continued the rest of the conversation in English. "Very good, one of my subordinates should be obtaining that soon then, if you put it in the right place." He flipped through his notebook to a particular section and studied it for a moment.

"I've also found some information regarding you request. It seems what you're looking for will be available tonight, and so long as there is a full moon."

@"Trahnael" you're fine you're fine :3

The girl seemed very giddy and excited, confident that she did put her paperwork in the right drop-off location. She squeezed her hands with one another, before dropping them to her sides. Her grin didn't fade; actually it seemed like it even became brighter.

And even brighter after hearing a news about the black market. The detail about the full moon, however, pulled confusion to the surface of her face, through her eyebrows that furrowed and her eyes that checked the sky all of a sudden.

"Full moon?" she repeated thoughtfully. "That's good... I think... But what happens if there's no full moon?" she asked. By this time, her grin was already completely masked by a searching look, and she was searching in Wesker's eyes.

Wesker chuckled a little at her reaction. It was rather refreshing to someone so eager and enthusiastic about the dealings he was orchestrating. Usually it was much subtler, if not entirely covered over by nerves and anxiety.

He shrugged a little. "I suppose it simply won't be there. But not to worry, I'm fairly curtain it's a matter of time, and not something that will be so finicky as to be obstructed by an overcast night." His thoughts said nothing contrary to this, reinforcing his confidence if anything.

"I intend to go tonight, if you wish to join me. I have something in particular that I believe can be provided." The image of a female drow in a black dress flashed through his mind briefly. "I can take you if you wish. We'd have to meet in the underground."

"Oh, I'd love to join! I wanna see what kind of things would be there, if it would really be there." Mizuko clapped her hands together yet again. She wasn't sure they'd find what she really wanted to see, but if it's the black market, there were so many possibilities and she wanted to see them.

She tilted her head thoughtfully. "Where is the underground exactly? I'm not exactly very used to all the places in the island yet."

Wesker chuckled a little, finding the excited reactions rather adorable, and as much going through his surface thoughts. "Well, my sources tell that they have many things, but that they don't always accept currency in the way we do. You may want to bring a handful of odds and ends suitable for trading, I understand many of them can be rather strange in what they desire." He adjusted his gloves a little. "Or I suppose I could collect some items for you if you wish, I will be putting together a portfolio of trade items anyway. I could do you the favor."

Wesker chuckled again. "I could draw up some directions for you if you wish. Or perhaps it would be better for me to escort you. You have a dorm room, yes?"

Mizuko was looking right into Wesker's eyes, and sometimes, during moments like that, the other person's thoughts would seem to seep out of them and into her head. She didn't need to read his thoughts to realize that he was finding her amusing though.

Her eyes abruptly turned away. She could feel them, she could feel her cheeks warming up with embarrassment.

"Thank you. You can do that if you really want to, but I can try getting some tradeable items myself."

She was really thankful that she was the one who can read thoughts, and not the one being read. She seemed like she was playing with her fingers, but in truth, it was a way for her to calm herself down and attempt to stop feeling awkward.

She heaved a small sigh. Wesker's laugh really embarrassed her. She suddenly felt like some kind of ball of energy that always ends up doing amusing things. She didn't know if she should be glad about that or not.

She cleared her throat. "Anou... Dorm room? Yes, I do. It's in the second floor." She paused for a moment. She was able to look Wesker in the eyes again, and this time, she seemed a bit confused, too. "You'd escort me? That sounds like I might inconvenience you. Giving me the directions might be less troublesome, right?"

Awe, she was blushing, how cute. He causally observed her mannerisms as they strolled through the hallways. "very well, I'll let you gather your items then. I commend you for your shrewdness. Best to be the debtor, rather then indebted."

"Is something wrong, Tsuushi-san? You seem out of sorts." He examined her, his smile never flinching even while his words showed concern. He chuckled again at her next statement. "Do I really seem like someone who'd be inconvenienced, Tsuushi-san? I do also live in the dorms, it's not exactly out of the way. besides, I would not have offered if I was unwilling."

"Nothing's wrong! I'm fine, just... Well I'm fine." Mizuko broke her fingers' contact with one another. She tried to force her face to cool down. With one very heavy sigh, it all seemed to work out fine!

"I just really don't want to be a bother with unnecessary... things... Senpai. I guess... it would be rude not to accept your offer though."

She laughed sheepishly. After a few more moments, she seemed like she was already able to recover from the embarrassment she felt, and was back to being the excited newbie that she was.

"So! What time are we heading out?" she asked, turning back to Wesker once more.

Wesker raised an eyebrow very slightly at Mizuko's reaction. He may not be able to read minds, but he could certainly draw conclusions from reactions. "If you are certain, Tsuushi-san." He waved his hand dismissively at her argument. "It would honestly be more of a bother if I did not escort you. Most likely one of us would be waiting, and what would I do if you got lost."

He shrugged a little. "We'll need to arrive after sunset... Say seven thirty? You should also be sure to dress warmly, the temperature has begun to drop."
