[ 01. ] [This is stupid. Kyoko shouldn't have come sniffing around. But she did, so now she's stuck here playing this dumb game. She'd just leave, but... well...
... the snacks are pretty good, okay?
Still, she's sulking as she drops herself into the next seat. It's a pretty impressive sulk, despite the fact that she has a pastry sticking out of her mouth. She's already been forced to blurt out stuff she didn't really want to say thanks to the stupid shocks, so now, without hesitation, she's reaching for a cue card. Let's just get this over with.]
"Can you think of," [she pulls the pastry out of her mouth with her free hand so she can be understood more clearly, but she's still chewing as she continues reading,] "one reason not to... own... geraniums" -- [That gets her to stop chewing. She squints at the card.] Oi, what kind of conversation topic is this?
[ 02. ] [A competition means prizes, and Kyoko is in it to win it. Why should she care if she can't wash the marker off? She's confident enough in her physical abilities that she isn't worried about getting too marked up, anyway. Being a magical girl comes with perks, after all, like experience dodging things and being alert at all times. Besides, if she wears jeans with her hoodie, it's not like she'll even have that much skin showing.
She can totally do this.
... buuuuut, she has to admit, this place is full of some pretty weird people. She's one hundred percent certain there's no way an ordinary human would be able to catch her by surprise. But this city has a lot more than just ordinary humans in it. After getting a few marks on the backs of her hands, she's reminded of this. She can't just walk around assuming it's like back home.
So the end result is that she's more than a little paranoid. But she refuses to regret it. Refuses. And it makes her double down.
... and touchy. Anyone who gets close to her, even if they're just walking nearby on the sidewalk, will find themselves on the receiving end of a suspicious, baleful glare. Unfortunately, just walking away quickly won't do; after all, this is a chance for her to mark someone else. So instead of disengaging, she stops dead and declares boldly,] I see what you're doing. And it's not gonna work.

[Do you know what free candy means?
Free candy means Kyoko magnets.
Honestly, that applies to any kind of free food, but she really is just a sucker for sweets. And whoever is doing this has just left the bowls out everywhere, and there are no guards, no signs saying "take one" or whatever...
... and therefore nothing stopping a hungry teenager from upending an entire bowl of candy -- in this case, multi-colored jelly beans -- into a plastic bag. Given the apparent weight of it, this may or may not be the first time she's done this today.]
Too easy, [Kyoko says to herself as she drops the empty bowl back in its spot. She doesn't seem too bothered by it. In fact, she's looking pretty damn happy.]
