01x07 - Abilities and Powers

[bunniefuu]

Mii: Over the course of the past week, ever since we had our first victim...

Mii: ...the serial graviton incidents have been increasing in both scale and magnitude.(continuous graviton incident? ><)

Mii: There seems to be no connection between the time and place of the incidents.(Normally I favour pronouns when an antecedent is readily available, but it looks a bit... strange in this context. For some reason. I'll look at it later )

Mii: Despite a thorough psychometric examination of the remains, we have yet to find any clues.

Mii: In order to avoid any further victims, we will work together with Anti-Skill to increase awareness,

Mii: and focus on resolving the situation as quickly as possible.

Mikoto: Are you all right?

Mikoto: You stayed up late looking into the graviton affair, didn't you?

Kuroko: I have little choice.

Kuroko: We're not making any progress with the investigation,

Kuroko: so we have to make sure that we're not missing anything.

Mikoto: Well, diligence is a virtue, but don't wear yourself out.

Kuroko: Onee-sama!

Kuroko: To think that you'd worry about me to such an extent!

Kuroko: In that case, why don't we share a bed tonight?

Kuroko: Kuroko's weariness would—(Ye, rd person is Ret*rded, but it fits when she's acting like a tard )

Kuroko: Ah, Onee-sama!

Kuroko: Please wait for me!

Kuroko: Really, Onee-sama — you're so bashful.

fdsa: AIM diffusion fields are familiar phenomena to those with paranormal abilities.(Please be consistent with terminology; AIM diffusion or dispersion. Since Diffusion was used in , we'll stick to that)

fdsa: AIM stands for "An Involuntary Movement."(Seriously, I wish they hadn't elaborated on this. At least AIM on its own ddin't look so unbelivably Ret*rded)

fdsa: The term refers to the minute force that those with paranormal abilities emit subconsciously.(Now I find myself wishing that I'd gone with energy instead of force in . Oh well, it works at least)

fdsa: Indiscernible by the fives senses, it requires specialized machinery in order to be measured.

fdsa: However, there has been some remarkable progress in the field recently.

fdsa: For example, the frequently experienced field-effect resonance between similar abilities.

Kazari: What's the matter?

Ruiko: Why don't we go shopping at Seventh Mist on the way home?

Kazari: Ah, but I have work to do at Judgement...

Ruiko: It'll be fine if we're quick.

Ruiko: Just tell them that you're patrolling.

Kazari: I can't do that this time, with the current situation being what it is.

Ruiko: I see.

asdf: Yo.

asdf: Could you lend us some money again?

Hatsuya: But, you haven't returned what you borrowed last time... have you?

fdsa: Huh?

fdsa: We told you we'd pay you back, didn't we? As soon as we deal with our problems, that is.(What the hell is that supposed to mean anyway? Changing it to smt that makes sense at least) (fixed. btw, he says shuusei, which pretty much means to "correct one's wrong ways and return to the right path")

asdf: Besides, isn't the absence of interest, limit, and due date your selling point?

rofl: What; is this it?

fdsa: Right, let's go before Judgement gets here.

rofl: No problem.

rofl: I mean, they always show up after the dust has settled, right?

Hatsuya: Damn it.

Hatsuya: What are they doing?

Hatsuya: Judgement...

Hatsuya: It's because of your incompetence that I have to put up with this.

Hatsuya: Just you wait.(Wait works better than watch I think, despite what he's saying)

Kuroko: Geez...

Kuroko: If only we had something more to go on.

Kazari: Yeah.

Kazari: All we really know is that the culprit must be at least a Level .

Kuroko: However, there's no one in the database who matches the criteria.(Wow, how did I type matches as watches <_<)

Kuroko: Could it be someone whose ability grew very rapidly?

Kazari: Impossible.

Kazari: There simply isn't a way to do so in such a short time.

Kuroko: Indeed...

Kuroko: It would be impossible.

Kazari: Persevere — let's go over the facts one more time.(I'm so gonna spam "Konkiyoku!" from now on )

Kuroko: Good idea.

Mikoto: Saten-san!

Mikoto: Kuroko and Uiharu-san must be having a hard time.

Ruiko: Seems like it.

Ruiko: I invited her to go shopping today, but she turned me down.("Rejected" really isn't appropriate in this situation ><)

Mikoto: Well, I guess there's no helping it until the bomber has been apprehended.

Ruiko: Somehow, it feels like I should be doing something...

Mikoto: Huh?

Ruiko: Well, how should I put it?

Ruiko: Uiharu and Shirai-san are both working hard at Judgement,

Ruiko: and you are so amazing, but as for me, well...

Ruiko: I'm sorry!

Ruiko: I didn't mean to sound so serious.

Ruiko: I was just thinking of how different things might be if I had an ability too.

Ruiko: If only I had a Level Upper, Level would no longer be just a dream.

Mikoto: "Level Upper"?

Ruiko: It's that urban legend I've mentioned to you before.

Ruiko: Supposedly, it's a tool that'll allow you to easily increase your abilities.

Ruiko: I was thinking, "Seeing as how the Stripping Woman actually exists, maybe it does too."

Ruiko: But, well, there's no way it could.

Mikoto: Hey.

Mikoto: Why don't we all go together?

Ruiko: Huh?

Kuroko: Shopping together with Onee-sama?!

Mikoto: You're both off-duty, right?

Mikoto: I was talking to Saten-san about how the two of you could use a breather.

Kuroko: I-Is that so...(Notice how her exuberance just went *poof* )

Kuroko: As rare an occasion as this is, I fear that I'll have to pass.

Mikoto: Huh?

Kuroko: I want to look into things a little more.

Mikoto: I see.

Mikoto: I understand.

Mikoto: Do your best!

Mikoto: Good night.

Hatsuya: A new world is emerging.

Hatsuya: I will save myself.

Ruiko: Oh, so Shirai-san couldn't make it?(Ugh, this noise does things to me /Path columbines J.C.Staff)

Kazari: Perhaps we could buy her something?

Mikoto: Good idea.

Hatsuya: A Judgement who couldn't save me...(Amagad, it's the Gekota b*mb! RUN)

Hatsuya: ...isn't needed.

Title,Hatsuya: (Episode title)Abilities and Powers

Ruiko: Over here!

Mikoto: Is there something you're looking for, Uiharu-san?

Kazari: Hmm, nothing in particular.

Ruiko: Uiharu!

Ruiko: Come here for a second!

Kazari: W-What is it?

Ruiko: Here!

Ruiko: How about these?

Kazari: No way! No way!

Kazari: How could I possibly wear those?

Ruiko: With these on, you can put on a grand display when I lift up your skirt.

Kazari: Please don't let anyone see them!

Kazari: Please don't lift up my skirt!

Ruiko: What a pity.

Ruiko: Oh, Misaka-san.

Ruiko: Is there something you're looking for?

Mikoto: Let's see...

Mikoto: Some pajamas, perhaps.

Kazari: This way, then.

Mikoto: I've looked around, but I just can't find any good ones.

Mikoto: Hey, isn't this just too cute—

Alternate,Ruiko: Whoa!

Ruiko: Look at these pajamas, Uiharu.

Ruiko: Who would wear something so childish these days?

Kazari: Well, I wore something like these when I was in elementary school,

Kazari: but to do so now...

Mikoto: Y-You're right!

Mikoto: Middle schoolers wouldn't wear these, right?

Mikoto: No, never!

Ruiko: Oh, I'm going to have a quick look at the swimsuits.

Kazari: The swimsuits are over there.

Ruiko: Really?

Mikoto: It's fine — they're pajamas, after all.

Mikoto: You won't be showing them to others.

Ruiko: How about this one?

Mikoto: Good, now's my chance.

Mikoto: I'll just try them on for a second.

Mikoto: There!

Touma: What are you doing, Biribiri?

Mikoto: W-Why are you here?!

Touma: Am I not allowed to?

asdf: Onii-chan!

asdf: Oh, you're the lady from Tokiwadai!

Mikoto: Ah, you're the one with the purse.

Mikoto: "Onii-chan" — you have a sister?!

Touma: No, no.

Touma: She told me that she was looking for a clothing store, so I accompanied her here.(We r like pronouns, yes?)

asdf: Onii-chan brought me here!

asdf: I want to dress up in stylish clothes too, just like the people on TV!

Mikoto: Is that so?

Mikoto: You're stylish and cute as you are, though.

Touma: Unlike a certain someone who wears shorts.

Mikoto: Are you picking a fight?

Mikoto: In that case, let's settle things right here and now!

Touma: Is that all you ever think of?

Touma: Besides, do you really want to start something in a crowded place like this?

asdf: Hey, Onii-chan, I want to look over there!("Hey, Onii-chan, I want to look yonder!" Fck, I should use that for shits and giggles. Go go eloquent kids)

Touma: Oh, okay.

Mikoto: See you later, Onee-chan.

Mikoto: Bye bye!

Ruiko: Did something happen?

Mikoto: Nothing.

Mikoto: Why do I always lose my cool whenever he's around?(Geez, I wonder)

Mikoto: Gekota!

Mikoto: ...or not.(One green amphibian is much like any other, TBFH)

Mikoto: Actually, it looks nothing like him.

Mii: Is it possible that there are multiple culprits, even if the modus operandi is the same?

Kuroko: That's impossible.

Mii: Well, I thought I'd throw it out there.

Mii: I just can't see any correlation.

Kuroko: We need to resolve this quickly, or we may have another victim.

Mii: At the very least, we need to find some form of clue.

Mii: Nine of our colleagues have been injured already.

Kuroko: Nine?

Mii: What's the matter?

Kuroko: Don't you think that's a little too many?

Mii: Surely, the target couldn't be—

Mii: Satellites have detected an acceleration of graviton particles!(Used "acceleration of graviton parctiles in , so let's keep that. It's fcking pseudo-scientific crap regardless )

Ruiko: Isn't that your cellphone, Uiharu?

Kazari: Oh, you're right.

Kazari: Hello—

Kuroko: Uiharu!

Kuroko: There's been a development in the graviton affair!

Kuroko: The surveillance satellites of Academy City have detected an expl*sive acceleration of gravitons!

Kazari: Can we see Uiharu's pantsu?

Alternate,Kazari: Detected where?

Kuroko: We're requesting that nearby Anti-Skill be deployed as we speak.

Kuroko: You need to return to headquarters at once!

Alternate,Kazari: I'm asking you where it was detected!

Kuroko: A clothing store in District — Seventh Mist!

Kazari: Seventh Mist?

Kazari: Perfect; I'm there right now!

Kazari: I'll commence with the evacuation at once!

Kuroko: Uiharu?

Kuroko: Hello? Hello?!

Kuroko: What is going on...

Mii: Did something happen to Uiharu-san?

Kazari: Please remain calm and listen to me.

Kazari: We've learned what the culprit's next target is.

Kazari: It's this very store.

Mikoto: W-What did you say?

Kazari: Misaka-san, I'm sorry to ask this of you, but could you assist in the evacuation?

Mikoto: Of course.(Liberal, because Japanese have very weird ideas regarding how to respond to questions, it seems <_<)

Kazari: You should evacuate too, Saten-san.

Ruiko: Okay...

Ruiko: You be careful too, Uiharu.

Kuroko: The target this time is...

PA: This is an announcement to all customers.

PA: Due to an unexpected malfunction in the store's electrical system,

PA: we will unfortunately be closing for the day.

PA: Our staff will guide you to the exits.

asdf: What do they mean by "malfunction"?

PA: We apologize for the inconvenience.

fdsa: And we just got here...

Touma: Biribiri!

Touma: Have you seen that girl?

Mikoto: What?

Mikoto: Wasn't she with you?

Touma: She's not out here.

Touma: Could she still be inside?

Mikoto: What were you doing?!

Touma: Hey!

Kuroko: Uiharu!

Kazari: We've finished evacuating everyone.

Kuroko: Get out of there now!

Kazari: Eh?

Kuroko: The only casualties so far have been Judgement!

Kuroko: The culprit's real target is any Judgement within the reach of the device!

Kuroko: You are the target this time, Uiharu!

asdf: Onee-chan!

Mikoto: That's...

asdf: A guy wearing glasses asked me to give this to you.

asdf: Here!

Kazari: Get away!

Kazari: That's the b*mb!

Mikoto: I'll destroy it with my railgun!(Oh wow, I lolled so hard at this. "sh**t that b*mb away with my railgun!" Almost worthy of being in the OP)

Mikoto: Oh no...

fdsa: What happened?

rofl: Something exploded!

lmao: Another of those serial bombings?

lqtm: It looks like there were still people inside!

rawr: They said there's a girl from Judgement inside!

Hatsuya: All right!

Hatsuya: Amazing!

Hatsuya: Wonderful!

Hatsuya: I'm gradually growing accustomed to my increased power.

Hatsuya: Just a little more.

Hatsuya: Just a few more of these.

Hatsuya: Those worthless Judgement and delinquents — I'll blow them all—

Hatsuya: What just happened?

Mikoto: Hi!

Mikoto: I don't really need to explain the situation, do I, Bomber-san?(lol @ b*mb maniac-san >< Let's just skip the maniac part)

Hatsuya: W-What are you talking about? I don't know what—

Alternate,Mikoto: Well, that destructive power is certainly impressive.

Mikoto: Unfortunately for you, there were no casualties — not as much as a scratch, in fact.

Hatsuya: T-That's impossible!

Hatsuya: That was my full power!

Mikoto: Really?

Hatsuya: Well, it looked like a massive expl*si*n from the outside.

Hatsuya: That's why I thought that no one inside could've survived—

Hatsuya: R-Railgun...

Hatsuya: So, this time it's the ace of Tokiwadai?

Hatsuya: It's always like this.

Hatsuya: No matter what I do,

Hatsuya: someone will always strike me down again.

Hatsuya: I'll k*ll you!(g*dd*mn emo)

Hatsuya: People like you are to blame!

Hatsuya: Judgement is the same — people with power are all like that!

Mikoto: Power this, power that...

Mikoto: Clench those teeth!(Changed from "Well get ready for this!" -Southrop)

Mikoto: Seriously...

Kuroko: You had that one coming.

Kuroko: Someone like you — one would use his lack of power as an excuse — is the one thing she will not countenance.

Kuroko: Are you aware, I wonder?

Kuroko: Tokiwadai's Railgun began as a regular Level .

Kuroko: She only became a Level through sheer will and effort — by trying harder than anyone else.

Kuroko: However, even were she a Level ,

Kuroko: Onee-sama would still bar your path.

Kazari: Shirai-san!

Kuroko: You had me worried there!

Kazari: I'm sorry.

Kazari: But, thanks to Misaka-san — as you can see, I'm fine!

asdf: The lady from Tokiwadai saved us.

Both: Right?

Kazari: Wasn't she cool?

Both: Yeah!

Kuroko: Even so...

Kuroko: Only the place where Uiharu and the girl were standing remains unscathed.

Kuroko: How did she use her ability to achieve this?

Kuroko: Onee-sama!

Kuroko: Truly, you have outdone yourself this time!

Kuroko: Thank you so much!

Kuroko: Today, Kuroko will fulfill your every desire, Onee-sama!

Kuroko: Such as washing your back, or giving you a massage.

Kuroko: Anything you desire!

Mikoto: Isn't that what you desire?

Mikoto: I'll pass.

Kuroko: But, Onee-sama!

Mikoto: Back there, my railgun couldn't make it in time.

Mikoto: The one who actually saved Uiharu-san and the girl...

Mikoto: ...was him.

Touma: An ambush...

Mikoto: Are you fine with this?

Touma: Huh?

Mikoto: It seems like they all believe that I saved them.

Mikoto: If you were to come forward, you'd be a hero.

Touma: Huh?

Touma: What are you talking about?

Touma: Everyone's safe and sound — isn't that the important thing?

Touma: Does it really matter who saved them?

Mikoto: Stop acting like that!

Mikoto: Stop pretending to be so cool!(hiu missing line. Fortunately I can TL that myself )

Mikoto: And only in front of me, at that!

Mikoto: It pisses me off!(Poor vending machine)

Mikoto: Damn it, he's always like that!

Mikoto: Ah, it pisses me off!

Alternate,Kuroko: O-Ow!

Alternate,Kuroko: The sunset?
