"It's course and rough and irritating and gets everywhere."

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

"It's course and rough and irritating and gets everywhere."

Bubblegum Poprocks had made herself busy going in circles all afternoon over the grounds, specifically the gravel paths that connected the buildings to each other visually. What was she doing?

It is a mystery.

With her hair wrapped up and out of view, a hooded cardigan that was almost a cape and her eyes behind a shield of green she was looking a bit like the most conspicuous of low tier villains, but the T shirt and spandex pants kinda went against the idea that she was here to start something. Nobody is taken seriously in Pink sneakers.

Now she was just staring intently at the ground however, doing nothing but the staring.

It didn't take feline eyesight to spot Chisaki a mile away, so it was easy that Diego happened upon her.

"Yo! Chisaaa! What's up?" he asked, stopping before her.

"Good day Diego-senpai!" She greeted back, smiling from behind her sunglasses.

"Just surveying the land to become more familiar with the composition. Lots of sand here." She murmured to herself.

"What are you up to?"

He raised a brow but took a deep sniff and said, "Flowers... grass clippings... the ocean... a squirrel in that tree over there... aaand..."

He sniffed in her direction.

"Why do you smell like fruit and candy?"

Chisaki nods sideways smiling.

"I can smell the sea because it is a smell that is overwhelming in a seaside town. I can smell the grass as it is freshly cut. I cannot smell the flowers, nor the squirrel, and the scent of my perfume is so consistent to me I barely register it there anymore.

I can hear the wind in the trees, but not the music or the speaking of others.

And where you likely only feel the gravel path under your feet, I can feel the sand underneath the gravel."

Chisaki points to the ground.

"Right where we are standing now it is very deep. Maybe they used it to fill a low spot on the estate grounds? Hard to say without spending more time examining this spot. But now that I know it is here, the next time someone comes from outer space to smash things, I will know where it is."

"Iiiiieeeeeeee...." Chisaki fished her hand into her pocket and pulled out her cellphone, then did a quick google search. When she flipped her phone around, she showed Diego an image of An anime catboy wearing what appeared to be a Hitler's Youth uniform.

"He is in all the places at all the times."

Chisaki's polite, vapid smile seemed to change slightly into a bit of a mischievous grin.

"It is Hellsing Ultimate. It is good, but the manga is better. It is about vampires fighting Nazis, mostly.

Does Diego-senpai like anime?"

"I suppose that is one way to try it, they do get annoyed easily."

As she spoke, Chisaki turned away from Diego and flattened her hand then brought it down towards the ground like an axe, and the gravel and earth parted in twain in front of her, revealing a portion of the pocket of sand she was talking about.

"Yes." She agreed simply, returning the grin. With a flick and twirl of her wrist, a fine sprinkling of what she'd found dusted itself through the air and towards her, then stopped in front of her face so she could examine it. She didn't go into her deeper thoughts on the composition of the sand, thinking they'd probably be lost on Diego anyways.
