It appears that most of the players will begin in Japan. The beginning will be a normal day, so players may begin posting their normal morning routine. And yes, "Japanese exchange student" works.

Ahhh! Japan! I finally made it! whew! that didn't take nearly as long as i thought it would... now to find that bastard Breika, but where to start?
*Chrono thinks back* THATS RIGHT! Ion told me i aught to look for a spirit detective to track down Breika, but where could i find one?
*Chrono then heads for the streets, activley sensing for anyone with spiritual power*

Chrono quickly realizes how silly this is: His skill for detecting spiritual power works at close ranges or with a very good idea of the "scent", so to speak, he is searching for, a bare innate demon ability unadorned with training. There are millions of people around whose cumulative spiritual power bleeds out the source.
Chrono is now by a ramen shop. There is a gang of street toughs in blue uniforms, one of whose is a little torn and frayed and currently has a blood spot. That one has orange and blue hair in a strange almost clover-plant pattern. The rest of the group of roughly eight (like all such gangs, it is fluid), is largely Japanese, but there is one who is probably burakumin or of Korean descent, one who is probably at least a quarter American, and a Russian. The one with orange-blue hair looks at you intensely then steps in front of you. "Hey, dude! Whatcha doin on my turf?"

"i'm just passing through, i'm looking for someone, or more like, someone with a special talent, either way, i'm just passing through." Chrono says with a welcoming and disarming smile, "Can I help you with anything else?"

The boy sizes Chrono up, then walks forward and whispered, "You're not human. Who are you looking for? There's a price paid for demons to get through my domain."

chrono will attempt to bring the boy away from his compainions so only the two of them may hear,"Have you heard of pandemonium? i'm fighting in the revolution, yes, i'm one of them"
fyi, you could count all the people in the revolution with two hands, and all are very VERY feard by demons of all sorts

The boy shakes his head. "I don't know much about demons, I can just identify them. But why should I believe you anyways? Demons lie. Plus demons have juice, and I can't have juice walking through my territory." He backs up a bit and says, "Look: If you give up a bit of cash, I can actually help you around the area. Then we all save face and I can help you find the person you're looking for."

Chrono's eyes flash red from anger for a second, then return to their tranquil purple, Chrono decides that bloodying up japan would be a pretty bad idea, and he decides to conciede but the problem is, he only has about 500 yen

The kid says, "Whatever, man, 10 yen would do the trick. I hope you understand. You won't find a better guide around the city." He leads Chronos back then looks at his gang, awaiting the payment.

schala will lean her head on fayts shoulder, while getting comfertable in her first class seat, her black eyes meeting his eyes as she says "so fayt what do you think japan is like I hope its more interesting then home" she will then close her eyes enjoying the warmth of his shoulder waiting for him to reply.

"I do not know its probably just like home but more crowded but we might find something interesting there to do thats why we agreed for the exchange right" fayt will reply letting her rest on his shoulder "its best we dont worry about it now and just wait till we get there" he will say putting on his headphones and putting on some disturbed while waiting till they get to the airport.

TEN yen? wow, nice price! Chrono thinks as he hands over the money to the young man, now having a great respect for him for his demon-sensing abilities maybe i aught to ask him about breika?
"hey, about the person i'm looking for, his name is Breika, he's also not of this earth, might you be able to help me? or, show me someone who can help me?" Chrono says calmly, and softly

There is a very strange person holding up a sign for Fayt and Schala: He has a face with the soft features and raised cheekbones of an Oriental woman but a jaw of a ubermensch, blonde hair but black eyes. He's holding up a sign that says, "FAYT / SCHALA : HERE." He appears to be in his twenties and has a small black car behind him.

"Nope.", the kid says. "My name's Hazuka Kuwabara. Yours?"

*Chrono's face grows stern* "Just call me what you wish, my real name cannot be said outside of pandemonium" (lie)
"so, since you said you can't help me or know anyone that can, why am i being leaded by you?"*Chrono relaxes a bit, keeping alert in case of retaliation from that last comment*

fayt will point to the sign and say to schala in a sarcastic tone "I think he just might mean us" walking towards him.

"you just might be right" schala will say back in an equally sarcastic tone walking up to the man and say using her best sweet innocent voice "we are schala and fayt I assume you are here to take us to our exchange home"?

"Is that all you were looking for? And do you know the hotels? The streets?"
________________________________________________________________
The man nods. "I'm Robert Ashiyoki. I'm your teen guide to the area. You'll be living with Aiko Ashtear. She works as a hydrological analyst." He seems a little curt but fundamentally pretty nice. He says, "Nice sarcasm there, by the way. Get the hell in the car."

Schala will put a hurt look on her face and say to Robert "I dont know what you mean mister".
OOG: we were not near him when we spoke sarcastically we wouldnt say that to his face... well Fayt would but Schala wouldnt unless she was pissed unless he just read out lips from really far away or something normally I wouldnt care its just that Schala is trying to act innocent and nice trying to make a good first impression even if it is a false one.

Fayt will say to Schala ignoring the man "just ignore him if he is going to be rude" he will then open the door to the car letting Schala in then getting in himself waitng for him to drive them to Aiko's home.

OOG: Yes, he heard that. He might have unusually keen hearing, he might be deaf and read lips, you're not sure yet. I do appreciate the clarification.
He smiles and says, "Hey, if you haven't noticed, I'm sarcastic too. Let's drop the innocent routine, that way I can show you guys what you want to see. So I assume you want to drop off your bags first?", he asks. The inside of the car is pretty comfortable for how cruddy it is: He seems to like to have a comfortable inside even if the outside isn't so attractive.

Fayt will think it over for a moment then say "yes we will drop off our things first but we dont really need to see all that much just where the school is and possibly a ramen shop or something we can find the rest ourselves if we need to".

Robert rubs his ear and says, "Sorry, could you repeat that last part? I got everything past 'ramen shop'." There now seems to be a bit of a slur to his words. The three begin driving through city streets, but he seems quite adept at taking short cuts, even ones he admits he doesn't know. He turns on some extremely fast German heavy metal band and really gets into the music, so much so that it seems that he drives on auto-pilot.

Fayt will raise his voice so that Robert can hear and and say "what I said was yes we will drop off our things first but we dont really need to see all that much just where the school is and possibly a ramen shop or something we can find the rest ourselves if we need to".

"No, see, I heard all that past ramen shop the first time, dude. Sorry if the music is too loud!" Now the slur is gone: It appears like it was never there. "Fair enough, but remember, you guys are just kids in a big city! It seems like you at least know enough Japanese to get by, but definitely with an accent, and there's all sorts of dangerous shit around here, Yakuza who'd want to kidnap you for ransom, who knows. Not trying to scare ya, and I'm pretty sure Aiko can take care of you, but..."
You drive by a ramen shop, seeing a group of thugs and a tall and strange-looking man with scintillating eyes. Robert sneers and says, "I need to get out. Now." He parks and looks back at them. "Listen: Don't follow me, okay?" For the first time a bulge in Robert's left sleeve can be seen...

Chrono now sees a cruddy black car hit the brakes, slow down, park, then a blond man get out and stride up to him.

Schala will wonder to herself "hmm I wonder what he is doing he better not start a shoot out while im still in the car or I will kick his ass so hard".

Chrono will size up the man, trying to figure out what he wants before he gets too close, he also wants to go through his memory and see if he knows the man, and use his senses to see if he has unusually high energy levels or not
Chrono will ask Kuwabara and his buddy's "hey, whos that guy?"

Chrono does detect a decent amount of reiki, and even more stored in that sleeve. Hazuka says, "I dunno." Robert comes directly to Chrono and says, "Demon: I know what you are. I can't declare it in front of all these people because they will think I'm a maniac, but I know. Leave in ten minutes or I'll make your life miserable." Fayt and Schala do not hear what is occuring but do feel the tension. Hazuka steps and says, "Hold on, pal, this is OUR turf and you don't just make threats on it!" His thick galootish voice contrasts with Robert's curtness.
