Sniper meets Sniper

Toshiko rubbed the back of her neck softly as she sat there, the fact that her hair was a little messy was obvious; as was the fact that she actually had the tiniest of blushes on her face. It was very faint, but, there nonetheless. Upon Ritsuko and Toshiko actually arriving, she was prepared to answer her questions, despite random embarrassment, to their fullest. She was about to start answering them when she heard Ritsuko ask for some tea. Toshiko blinked for a moment before she shook her head softly, her cheeks a little red from this random little pause. She grinned a little, trying to regain some confidence, as she stood up and looked towards Ritsuko.

"Alright, tea it is; hot or cold? Also, any specific kind? I may have something of the sort in here for tea; if not I can always go and find some in a store somewhere."

Toshiko gave a quick shrug, motioning for Ritsuko to stay seated; but it wasn't a command of course. Simply one of those 'hey, I'll get your tea you stay there~' kinda thing. So, Toshiko simply stood up from her seat, as mentioned before, and went to her desk. She shuffled through a couple of drawers as she waited for Ritsuko to give her a tea request; until then, she shuffled through the drawers trying to find the puzzle Ritsuko asked about.

"Yeah, puzzles. They're pretty interesting to do. A couple of them should be on the floor, but, I really do like this one. I just finished it, but, should just take a couple of turns and-- ah! There it is~"

Toshiko pulled out a spherical device, gold in color. The device had many random bits, pieces, and things sticking out of it. It sure as hell wasn't pretty. Looking at it, Toshiko sighed and mumbled to herself; something about how it likely broke in her desk. She toyed with it a little before, not too long, it was whole once more; something that looked far better than it did earlier. Toshiko grinned at the thing and walked back over to Ritsuko, plopping down on the couch next to her and showing her the device.

"I don't exactly remember what this thing is called, but, it was really fun to figure out~! It seriously has so many diverts and tricks that it even fooled me at points! It was a seriously like a complicated maze that was not made to solve~! But, I did eventually. Here, let me show you~"

Toshiko grinned as she toyed with the device, pressing multiple buttons, turning it, rotations, and even hitting it with her fist once. Eventually the thing snapped open, revealing a rather nice scene; one from Toshiko's childhood. Toshiko stared at the scene, letting Ritsuko look at it before she simply let the device fall from her hands and onto the couch between the two.

"That's me and my friend Sofia. I haven't exactly seen her in a while though... Ah, sorry. That's not the only puzzle I got, I think."

She got off the couch again and then found a different puzzle; one that was likely the most complicated she had solved. She looked at it for a moment before she worked to get it back into the shape it was in before; which was a square. She walked back to the couch and then grinned as she held the puzzle in hand.

"This thing was a chore. See how it's a square now? Well, you're actually supposed to unravel it until it you get to the center of the thing; which held a little surprise. I think it was a candy or something else. I replaced it with something else; I think you'll like it."

She hands Ritsuko the square puzzle. The thing has many moving parts, sections, and different ways to move this and that. It truly was a puzzle of intelligence since it took the right patterns, method, and thinking to fully open it to get what is inside.

"So... uh, what kinda tea did you want again? Sorry, I got mixed up in that when I had to repair it and open it... But, uh, the puzzles in general are just ones to test overall intelligence and stuff like that. Never really have touched Sodoku much since I was a kid."

Toshiko smiled at Ritsuko innocently, truthfully forgetting the tea that Ritsuko asked for; the Quincy, likely younger than Ritsuko, was showing signs of blushing once more. She chuckled softly before she sighed softly and relaxed a little bit more, taking the device that was on the couch and looking at the picture. She pressed a little button at the side which reset the device. She rolled it across the room and yawned softly.

"Oh~! Do you know of any good puzzles... I-I've been kinda needing some new ones a-as you can see... heh."

Toshiko rubbed the back of her head as she gestured to the room around her; which was basically filled with data, tech, and all sorts of devices that were signs of the fact that Toshiko was far above average intelligence levels. Toshiko waited for an answer from her before Toshiko got a really great, and possibly dangerous, idea. Toshiko hopped up off the couch and grabbed her laptop, closing a bunch of windows before she went back over to the couch and sat down, the laptop screen covered in icons. Those that could be made out were either games or simply some sort of unrecognized software; even some made by Toshiko herself.

"I just had a fantastic idea, watch this, Ritsuko~"

Toshiko grinned at Ritsuko, sliding a little close to her so the girl could get a look. Toshiko reached into her pocket and pulled out a packet of gum, popping a piece into her mouth as she opened a few programs as she chewed on the gum. A grin slowly grew on her face as the programs initialized. Toshiko implemented a rather large web of false IP in nearly instants before she even started work on hacking.

"Mind not telling anyone I'm doing this~? I kinda want to show you something cool~ Watch~"

Toshiko grinned as she pressed one key before her hands started darting across the keyboard, pressing key after key; her fingers moving at speeds that made sense for a being like Toshiko. She grinned softly as she went through multiple firewalls, security, and simply blew apart defenses. Toshiko tapped a few more buttons as an image of the earth appeared on the screen. Why the Earth? Why, because Toshiko hacked into a satellite of course!! Toshiko moved the laptop to Ritsuko's lap and slowly had it zoom in on Japan; the country it was currently over. Toshiko zoomed in until she was able to make out familiar land marks. She then moved it around until she found Mt. Yoshino; a mountain in Japan that was covered in Sakura trees. Toshiko sighed softly as she looked at it.

"Hmmm... I never really admired nature as a kid; I was always a shut in more focused on hacking and creating programs or games whenever I felt like it. But, I really cannot deny it's pretty."

She took the laptop from Ritsuko when she was done looking and cut all the connections and made sure she was untraceable before she shut the lid of the laptop and set it on her desk. She yawned softly and then stood up.

"Alright, I'll go get your tea, Ritsuko. Just wait here, I'll be back; help yourself to any of the puzzles if you want. Anywho, be back!"

Toshiko smiled at Ritsuko before she walked over to her, gave her a pat on the shoulder, and then walked out the door.

"Ah, by the way, there's a bathroom the the right of my desk if you need it."

She smiled and then waved, exiting the room -- the door giving off the same small clicking noise -- to go find some tea for Ritsuko. After all, Toshiko did not have that much tea in her room as she thought; regardless, she would hopefully get her new friend some good tea. It wouldn't take long for her to get the tea; likely a few minutes, but, hopefully nothing too bad would happen.
