Hatoful Nexus: New and Old Echoes
It's another day of school in the Nexus. Around St. Pigeonation's, many birds enter the school's front doors, chattering excitedly. The arrival of transfer students has really excited everyone... and human transfer students, at that!
Fucidin walks back up to the gate with his things as he does a little stretch! He had a good first day so he was pretty excited for the second day! I wonder who's around! Oh that reminds me! Gotta talk to Nobooru today! Let's see if he's around! Fucidin then walks through the gate, tripping on the stairs but otherwise hopefully reaching the library!
As usual, Noburu arrived early to mess with his cards. A few materials for the occult club meeting after school are set down nearby. The dragoon pigeon greets Fucidin with a small nod.
Fucidin sees the nod as an invitation as he walks over to Noburu, taking a seat across from him and watching what he's doing before speaking up So uh, Noburu! I assume your the leader of the Occult club? It's a great place! I had fun last day but I wanted to ask. You met Darsha before that meeting right? I heard her talking about it. Did she perhaps... Seem a little odd?
Ooc: I'll join once I get home from school.
OOC: how do you two get out of school around the same time so often when you live 3 time zones away? IC: Naturally, Sayaka hurries to school, it’s onlg her second day, better make sure to be early and all. Rather than talk to herself, or announce her presence to the halls, Sayaka silently decides to check the music room first, if they were practicing during break, they might be here early too
No problem~ "Odd? Yes, she's certainly odd. Haven't you ever heard of Netra Bhatt? Darsha-san has the same last name, so I asked her about it. Netra used to be a spirit medium, and Darsha's reaction to my guess confirmed it." Noburu chuckles as he draws a card. The Hanged Man. "And call me crazy, but that ouija board seemed to react to her, and vice versa..." It's a bit early, but Sayaka catches Takeshi as he's heading back towards his locker. "Ah, hello, Sayaka-san. Early and ready for the day, I see."
(edited by Hundred-S)
Sayaka grins and scratches the back of her head with her left hand, careful to conceal the ring Well of course. It’s a great chance to see people, only rivaled by After. Why wouldn’t I show? that and it makes sure she doesn’t oversleep, but that little tidbit can remain tucked away in these italics
*Hibki walks up into the school with his schedule in his hands, he looks to the paper and back again trying to figure out where he’s supposed to go, unable to figure it out he stops a random student and asks for directions* Excuse me, it’s my first day here and I’m already lost, can I have some help?
Netra Bhatt? Never heard of them. But from what your telling me... Fucidin grows more and more worried as Noburu continues, spirit medium? The Hanged Man card did nothing to suppress his thoughts either, didn't it symbolize inactivity? The ability of inability? Fuci didn't know much about tarot but it seems that the cards are telling him to do something. Fuci eventually nods and responds I see... Well thank you for your thoughts Noburu. Looks like I have something to do. You really are Great! I know what to do now. Fuci then takes his leave as he looks for Darsha, hoping for a lucky break!
[Taking his time, Joseph enters the school with his backpack on his back and one of his textbooks in his hands. Knowing that there's nothing to do at this time of day, he immediately makes his way towards the bathroom.]
A black Indian fantail is who Hibiki finds. She nods. "I'm new as well, but I should be able to direct you somewhere..." Fucidin finds Darsha talking to another human student in a bunny hoodie... what? That's pretty much what it is! "That is sound logic. I sometimes get here early to play, or just do some homework I'm pressed to finish." Takeshi brushes aside some of his black head feathers. "We're in the same class, yes? Care to walk there with me?" The bathroom is rather empty due to class starting soon.
(edited by Hundred-S)
Thanks, who knows, we might be in the same class. *He laughs to himself and shows her his schedule* Oh yeah, I’m Hibki by the way, what’s your name?
[Surveying the empty bathroom, Joseph would let out a sigh of relief followed by a smirk on his face.] "Finally, a place that isn't crowded and loud..." [Joseph takes a seat on the floor, leaning against the wall. He then opens up his textbook and starts to read it until class starts.]
Eh? I wonder who that is? Fucidin stands back and watches from afar for a bit before approaching the duo, waving his hand in the air before speaking Oh! Hello there! You must be another transfer student! Nice to meet you, I hope your having a good time here? Fuci then smiles before turning to Darsha, thinking of what to say. He can't talk about it here. It needs to be somewhere secluded. So he thinks of an area that is typically empty, the rooftop! Oh! Darsha! Your here too? Great! I was just looking for you! Do you mind if you meet me at the rooftop at lunch or after school? I wanna talk to you about something!
Sayaka nervously shifts between her feet before looking around, it’s trye that they’re in the same class and all, so it’s convenient to go together, but that might also give some people the wrong idea..... Better not to offend him, ultimately Sayaka grins and nods her head Gladly.
Darsha seems slightly flustered by Fucidin's offer, but just nods in the end. "Yes, I should be free then. And Hibki-san, as Fucidin-san said, my name is Darsha Bhatt. You should be in his class, since I heard they're grouping the human transfers together..." Sayaka and Takeshi begin the trek back to Mr. Tsukuda's room. Good timing, too, since the bell to signal the start at school rings.
Well it’s nice to meet both of you, but we should be getting to class. *He turns to Fucidin* So where do we go? I don’t want to be late on my first day.
(edited by HibkiKuze)
"Hm?" [Upon hearing the schoolbell ring, Joseph would close his textbook and stand up before exiting the bathroom and making his way to his classroom as fast as he could.]
Mm! Seeya there! We should try to get to class! It'll be boring but eh, you gotta do what you gotta do! I just hope nothing bad happens! Fucidin then nods back and starts to head to class! What wonderful lesson will be on today?
(edited by Fucidin_Fuun)
While Sayaka and Takeshita start walking, well, it’d be kinda awkward to just go in silence. Family’s kinda a sticky issue, so instead Sayaka asks Hey Takeshi, I was wondering l. Do you have other friends around here? Not meaning to offend or anything, I just thought it was kinda odd you spent so much time alone in the music room
"Hm... no, not really. I don't mind being alone, but it's still nice to have some people to talk to. I suppose some of my classmates count, although we're not particularly close like some birds can be." Takeshi's answer is said lightly, although he still seems slightly lonely... Once everyone files into the door, Mr. Tsukuda starts the lesson. Another history lesson, this time on the key politicians of the bird world in Japan. One or two students have fallen asleep by the time lunch approaches...
Sayaka was probably one of those students, let’s be honest. Does she seem like the kind of person to be interested in history
Fucidin tries to listen but mostly drifts off into thought, not paying much attention.
(edited by Fucidin_Fuun)
*Hibki honestly can’t wait until lunch starts, he forgot to eat breakfast and has been watching the clock all morning.*
For the sake of time, the bell finally rings, dismissing everyone for lunch.
*Hibki grabs the paper bag he had under his desk and pulls out a bowl and a fork, it looks like some form of pasta. He starts eating instead of looking for others to talk to*
Walks into school with Mien Kampf in hand and several grenades in his backpack Oh boy, I can't wait to see what i'll learn today! Goes to lunch
As soon as the bell rings Fuci snaps into action, taking the stairs up the floor and towards the roof! Nows the time Fuci! Don't mess this up now! Alright... Just be cool... Don't press too hard and you've got this!
and with the bell, Sayaka awakens, the girl slowly looks up, blinking the last of sleep out of her eyes before noticing the rush. Better get moving. Sayaka makes sure to pass the music room on her way to lunch, just in case
JoJo seems ded so posto Takeshi isn't in the music room, but is in the corner of the cafeteria. He and a few of the other birds give Germany a strange look as he comes in. "So you're staying in here?" Mr. Tsukuda looks up from his papers. "Kuze, was it? Too lazy to move, or just curious about the material?" Darsha is already waiting on the roof. She packed her lunch beforehand... beforewing?
Sayaka raises an eyebrow at Germany's entrance, but otherwise doesn't react as she gets her lunch. Once she does, Sayaka decides to sit in a relatively unoccupied part of the cafeteria. Might be best to give them some space for now
*He looks up at the teacher* It’s not really any of those, I’m just not used to a school of birds. If you’d like I can leave though. *He starts packing up his stuff in case he’s asked to leave*
Fucidin smiles, good, at least she showed up and Fuci wasn't late! Thats step one done! Fucidin then shouts out a little greeting before sitting down next to her Hey! Sorry for asking you all the way out here! I uh, just wanted to ask you something! In private of course! Well you see.. I uhh, I wanted to know if you uh... Fuci then looks away for a second as he contemplates whats the best way to word this without alienating her. Do you uhh... Know anything about the supernatural? Like perhaps... Seeing ghosts...?
There's not many birds here, save for Takeshi and a rock dove. A tiny white bird is perched on one of the seats, almost unseen due to its small size and the crowded cafeteria. When did it get here? "No, it's fine. It's probably safest if I keep an eye on you, anyway." The teacher goes back to grading papers. "Ghosts...? I don't know... it sounds superstitious..." Darsha's obviously avoiding a straight answer. Tread carefully.
*Hibki goes back to eating his lunch, he just sits there quietly as he eats, only looking up to check the time and make sure he has enough time to finish eating.*
if there aren't many birds here, how is the cafeteria still so crowded? Are there ghosts? Sayaka briefly wonders as she approaches the adorable white bird, she wouldn't want people to think her and Takeshi are dating or anything, so its best not to hang out with him too much, especially since she's new here
W-well... Isn't that the point of the Occult club? Superstition and magic? Fucidin then pauses again, if he wanted the truth he would have to push hard, throw down his entire hand and hope that he's built up enough trust Look.. I talked to Noburu beforehand. He told me about a Netra Bhatt. You wouldn't happen to know one would you? He said they were a spirit medium, and from your reaction last day... I just kinda assumed. I won't laugh. I just want to make sure your okay. You can tell me anything or nothing. Because... Uh... Disregard that last part.
Sorry, other narrator. Bad wording. Most of the cafeteria is crowded save for this isolated corner. The tiny white bird flies onto her shoulder and gives her a curious peck. Its stomach is red, but not from blood. "You mean Mo- er... yes, he's correct." Darsha looks away and rubs one of her wings. "My mom was a spirit medium, that's true, but she just... stopped one day. Never knew why, but she never taught me about spirits or anything like that. At worst, I've had hallucinations and some strange dreams, but I'm supposed to take medicine for that... although I don't think it's a medical issue, since it never works."
Hmm, I see.. Fucidin then sits on this new info, sifting through it and thinking before giving Darsha another smile Well, I'm glad you told me at least. I'm not entirely normal myself so don't worry about it! I still have a couple of questions though. What do you mean by stop? Just couldn't see them anymore or just refused? While on the subject what did you see in the library? While we were using the board did you see a ghost? Er, sorry if I'm forward. I just wanna know! Hehe!
The peck doesn't really hurt much, more curious than anything. Is this just some regular bird? I mean, the other ones are really big. Oh well, it seems really friendly, so Sayaka decides to try petting it Hey there cute little guy. Any clue why people're avoiding you like that? Sayaka smiles, speaking much as one would speak to a child, or a pet cat. She's clearly not expecting an actual reply
I'll probably delay this till tomorrow since some people are ded... and I need food
(Sounds good! Tomorrow then! Have a nice meal!)
Ooc: Btw, sorry about dying.
"Refused, I guess? She never really wanted to talk about it. And... I didn't see anything in the library, but I felt something... move the marker. It..." Darsha shudders a little. "..really hated us. I don't know why."
I don't know. I'm just small I guess. I don't go here, anyway. I'm just looking for my friends. The tiny bird is not ordinary, although something about it is... off compared to everyone else.
[After taking a small nap in class, Joseph would awaken with a yawn and a stretch of his arms.] "...It looks like a fell asleep. What time is it?" [Looking at the time on the clock, his eyes widen upon seeing that it's lunchtime. Joseph quickly jumps out of his seat and dashes to the lunchroom.]
*Hibki finishes with his lunch and puts the bowl and fork he was using back into thier bag and pulls out a book. He opens the book to a page towards the beginning and starts reading.*
OOC: May I join?
don't see why not Mr. Tsukuda is as silent as Hibki is. A few birds turn to look at Jotaro as he arrives. Some of his classmates are there, including Daichi and Sayaka.
At lunch, a small Sylveon sat in the lunchroom at a singular table. It seemed cute, but had an air of arrogance around it. It was eating some kind of fruit salad. It wasn't a bird or a human, so it looked especially out of place.
*Naegi is seen running towards the school with a bagel in his mouth.* Huff... huff... I'm late on my first day! Darn Monokuma and him blocking the road...
(edited by Naegi_Makoto)
OOC: Sorry for the long wait, I got drafted into moving a bed IC: Sayaka initially jumps a little, turns out this bird talks too. It shouldn't be that surprising, yet in some ways she was hoping it was just a normal, if friendly, bird. For now, Sayaka continues petting it and asks Are your friends as cute as you are? Bet they're hard to find, but that's no problem. Helping is what I do best
[Upon making it to the cafeteria, Joseph quickly walks to the lunch line, glancing over at what's being served for lunch.] "This food better not taste like cardboard."
*Naegi bursts through the gate and looks at the clock* It's already lunchtime...? *Naegi quickly puts his shoes in his shoe box and walks into the lunch room*
What a crazy day at lunch! The birds are chattering to each other even more now. Yes, really big birds, speaking like humans. A few of them scoot over to make room. "Hey, Spiky Hair, Big Guy, you can sit over here if you want! You might even know this pink... fox... thing..." The food being served is sandwiches, some beans, etc. Some conventional bird food along with more human food.
My friends are really really big compared to me. They're surprisingly hard to find though. I think one of them's somewhere in the school... The little bird closes its eyes to enjoy the pets.
Sayaka smiles and briefly glances around, obviously they're not in the lunchroom or they probably would have noticed the little one. Instead, Sayaka leans in a little closer to the little bird Well... What do they look like? The one who's supposed to be here. I mean, I'm goin' to this school anyways, I guess I can help you find him, or at least pass on a message
[Joseph looks over his shoulder at the birds sitting at the table and gives them a thumbs up. He then goes back to looking at the foods, immediately noticing the sandwiches. They look normal enough...] "Sandwiches huh? Didn't think we'd have those today." [Joseph moves up a bit in the line, patiently waiting.]
*Naegi sits down next to the birds after getting his lunch* Um.. hello. I've never been in a school for humans and birds before.. is the food good here?
Mana- er, the narrator is getting a quick nom. Will be back soon.
(Whoops! Didn't see we were starting up again!) Refused huh? I wonder why... Perhaps we can talk to your mom after school? From what your telling me that spirit or whatever might need our help from his side! Maybe it just wants to rest and can't until it gets something! At the very least it'll be an adventure! What do you say? Perhaps I'm a little too ambitious? Hehe! Fucidin then smiles and scratches the back of his head. Maybe he was looking too far into this. But he had a policy to help anyone who needed it! Even spirits!
The Sylveon quietly ate, eyeing the spikey haired boy. Being called "pink fox thing" wasn't inaccurate, but the manner it was said felt a little rude. For once, the Sylveon felt out of its element. Regardless, it would adjust its ribbon and try to look pretty while listening to the conversation. No need to show weakness.
(edited by Sylveon)
Well, he's reeeeally big, and has a bunch of eyes! You can't miss him! I heard something about a bird like that coming into the school, but I can't find him... maybe he's somewhere secret? The bird tilts his head. I've checked the whole area, but maybe I wasn't careful enough...
*Naegi takes a bite of his sandwich, looking away nervously as he sees the Sylveon looking at him.*
"As good as school food can get!" A few other birds laugh at the white fantail pigeon's reply. Joseph gets his food, and is free to check out the rest of the cafeteria. Sayaka and a tiny white bird are in the corner, while a spiky-haired human and a sylveon are at a table. "L-let's not tell her!" Darsha takes a deep breath after that sudden outburst to calm herself. "I mean, she doesn't like it when I mention that kind of stuff. She thinks I can't sense any spirits anymore. But it's probably best to get to the bottom of this... Noburu-san may have some advice."
Sayaka smiles and glances at the clock, sighing before nodding to the little bird Well, I guess I can ask around about him a bit. I'll make sure to tell him you've been looking for him if I see them, alright?
The Sylveon smirks as Naegi averts his gaze. Shy, is he? atleast, he may be fun to mess with later. More than the birds who all seem scared of it so far. It flashes a wink as it eats its salad, using its ribbons to substitute for hands to hold the utensils.
(edited by Sylveon)
[After acquiring his food, Joseph makes his way to the table and sits on one of the empty seats, setting his lunch down on the table. He takes a bite of his sandwich while taking a glance around at the others sitting at the table as well.]
Ah! Fucidin didn't realize the gravity of the situation and freezes up on the outburst, taking a second to calm himself down as well S-sorry.. I didn't realize. My bad.. At any rate we can probably talk to him after school, he should be in the library, haven't seen him anywhere else thinking about it. Maybe he's a ghost haunting the library as well! Fuci then laughs a little at his own joke. Trying to lighten the mode and make his bird companion more comfortable.
Looks like there's still time for idle chatter at lunch. Darsha, despite her worries, can't help but have a birdy smile as well. "Yes, that sounds good. It's like the library's his own home..." With some time left in the lunch period, she takes out her food and starts eating. It's just some rice and beans- perfect for a bird.
Alright! Thanks! The little bird flies off... ...there's probably more to this than meets the eye.
Heh! Living in a library doesn't sound so bad! He probably has plenty to do in there! I do wonder about him though! Fuci then leans back a little, looking at what Darsha had for a lunch. He didn't expect rice or beans, it was weird. He expected a sandwich of all things. Then again he isn't a bird. While watching his own stomach growls as he remembers that he didn't have a lunch, looks like he forgot to grab one this morning. How unlucky! Asking timidly Uh, you wouldn't mind if I uh. Toke a little would you? I seem to have forgotten it in a stroke of bad luck! Hehe!
For now Sayaka simply sits on her own, finishing her own lunch while watching the others, she can socialize more after lunch. Best not to stick out too much for now
[Seeing that there's nothing of his concern happening, Joseph continues to silently eat his lunch. He takes a casual glance around the table from time to time just to see if anything is happening.]
"Oh, of course." Darsha doesn't seem to mind sharing her food. After a while, the bell rings, and it's off to class... After the final bell rings, the day is completely free.
*Hibki stretches in his chair, since one of his feet fell asleep during class he’s smacking his right foot against the ground trying to wake it up. Once he’s done making a fool of himself he grabs his stuff and heads up to where the Manga club was, hoping to properly introduce himself today. He’s carrying a few Manga with him, however the one at the top of the stack has himself on the cover*
Fucidin thanks Darsha as he snacks on whatever is there. It was odd eating this, but he didn't mind. Soon the bell rings and he waves goodbye before heading to class and drifting off into thought.. Eventually the school day ends and he leaves class. Heading to the library. He had to discuss what to do now with that spirit...
The Sylveon exits its class, and walks away until no one can hear it before letting out a sigh. It's just like Pokemon school, without the Pokemon... It never did well back when it was an Eevee. Regardless, the Sylveon opened the bag strapped to its back and plugged earbuds into its ears before fidgeting around into the bag with its ribbons and closing it again. An unknown melody echoes in its ears as it walks the halls... Surely there's something fun to do around here, by its standards.
After almost falling asleep in class again, Sayaka waits for a few minutes, so as not to seem desperate, before heading towards the music room where Takeshi usually can be found. She would look around as she walks, ever vigilant in case of obvious secret passages. I mean, if they really are big maybe the little bird's friend is in hiding
*slams head onto keyboard, softly snoring* *continuing tomorrow*
As usual, the Occult Club is gathered in the corner of the library, including Darsha. Sayaka doesn't see anything of note, but she and the sylveon hear a melody drifting out of the music room. The manga club room isn't that full, but more birds are coming in. One of them is a nervous-looking rock dove.
Fucidin steps into the library and takes his seat next to Darsha, nodding to her before whispering. Right after we are done whatever we are doing today we should try taking to Noburu!
[Upon hearing the final school bell ring, Joseph would pick up his backpack and stand up before making his way out of the classroom and towards the gymnasium.] "I hope I'm not late for practice!"
Just as expected, Sayaka enters the music room silently, waiting for the song to end before talking, best not to interrupt after all. After Takeshi is finished playing, Sayaka would pipe up You know, I’ve been wondering. Are you practicing for something specific?
A young woman wanders into the library, a bow on her head and a blade on her back. She'd look around for a moment before spotting Darsha and Fuun she'd walk up to them. "Oh hey, so how did the ghost hunt go? I got pretty caught up in my reading so I missed it... Anyway, nice seeing you two again."
(edited by Blake-Belladonna)
Fucidin looks back and sees Blake again, smiling at her before speaking Ah! It worked out pretty well I think! It must've been a good read if you were that distracted! Nice to see you again though! You can join us if you like!
"Well, I already talked to Nobu-" Darsha is cut off by Blake's arrival. "O-oh, hello. We just used a board to communicate with that ghost... By the way, do you know what 'hatoful' means?" Noburu is busy getting out a few things, including a pencil, a notepad, and that board from before. Takeshi lets the last note ring out, then shakes his head at Sayaka. "I don't have any concerts coming up, but I usually just do this to pass the time. I'm not really involved in any other activities besides this. Mr. Tsukuda is a good friend of my family, though, so I managed to convince him to have the music teacher allow me to be here." Daichi waves at Joseph as he enters. "Hey there, JoJo! We were just getting started with practice for the little game coming up!"
(edited by Hundred-S)
Hatoful... That word means nothing to her, she might be able to dig it up given enough time but for now, Blake just shrugs and shakes her head. "Sorry, I've never heard of any words like that... I'm not really from around here though so it's no shock." She'd them smile at the two and nod to Fuun, might as well hang around for a bit. Hopefully this time she can avoid spacing out. "Yeah it was, "Dracula", you've probably heard of it? Anyway, I'll hang out with you two for a bit. You guys seem nice enough."
Sayaka watches Takeshi for a moment, taking a seat near him. She’s got some idea of how hard this music stuff is, but... Don’t you have any other hobbies? I know you’ve kinda gotta keep practicing, but surely there’s something else you like too, right?
[Joseph waves back to Daichi as he takes his backpack off of his back. He didn't think that he'd make it in time.] "Heya! I'm glad I could make it in time!" [Joseph throws his bag over to a wall before walking towards Daichi.]
Fuci looks at Darsha with a surprised expression, already talked to him huh? Interesting! He didn't think there was enough time but no reason to distrust her! Oh! My bad then! What did he tell you? Fuci then notes that Noburu has the board again, maybe that has something to do with it? No matter, back to Blake though! Hmm, Dracula huh? I don't think I've read it but I might have heard about it! Isn't that the one with vampires?
Sorry, just got home *Hibki looks at the dove and walks over, deciding to sit next to them. He offers a hand for a what I guess is a wingshake* How are you doing, don’t worry, I’m nervous myself.
"Er- I'm fine. Hibki, right? I'm Rin..." The rock dove accepts the winghandshake. "That's a lot of manga there... I should have brought some of mine..." Takeshi thinks for a bit, as if he's never really considered that question before. "I suppose reading counts, but... I've always had music as my main hobby. It keeps my mind off of everything." "Alright, we'll be doing some practice with shooting and passing, everyone! Let's go!" The pigeons, like a human team, get out the basketballs and start practicing. It's a very smooth and efficient system: someone shoots, someone passes the fallen ball to the next person, and it just keeps rotating. It's surprisingly tiring, but there's a sense of unity among the team. "He just said something about looking into it after school... He also decided on a 'safer' activity this time." True to Darsha's words, while some students grabbed the board to have some fun with it, Noburu passed out some pencils and paper and began to explain. "Automatic writing requires you to clear your head and just write what comes to mind. If you're lucky, a spirit may guide your thoughts, letting you subconsciously write messages from them. Of course, it may not work for everyone, but it's a relaxing activity either way."
Well it’s nice to meet you Rin. *He looks back to the manga in his hands, suddenly trying to put the one with his face on it in the bottom of the three book stack, as he’s doing this he keeps carrying on the conversation* I only really brought as much as I did becuase I’ve yet to visit the library and I needed some stuff to read. That and I love the idea of needing to write a good story, and do this amazing art.
[Right when Joseph gets the ball, he throws it up above the hoop. The ball bounces on the top of the hoop once before going straight through the hoop. Joseph clutches his fist in success.] "Yes!" [Joseph would do the same thing over and over again as the cycle continued, missing a few times.]
Sayaka grins, getting a bit closer now. Sure ran into a bit of a hermit, didn't she? Practice is important, but some things are worth more, like living. You know, there are all sorts of clubs around here, and you haven't even checked any of them out? What kinda books do you usually read? There's probably something that might catch your interest, even if only for a little
Explore it after school... Well doesn't sound like we have much a choice then! We just have to be patient and enjoy ourselves until then! Come on! Fucidin then takes a pencil and a piece of paper, listening to the explanation as he twirls the pencil in his hand, eventually understanding and getting ready to write. Closing his eyes. Unfortunately what he writes is generally of no substance, just a short except about somebody shopping. Huh.. Maybe I should be more careful when I go to the store! How about you two? Any luck Blake or Darsha?
Blake would sigh and take hold of the pen... Let her thoughts flow huh? As the girl begins writing, she'd turn out a short bit about... Beasts, mindless monsters of hate and malicious intent that slaughter anyone in their path. The girl can't help but sigh, it's no spirit but she might be best acting like it is. As Fuun asks her about her luck, the young woman would hold up the paper to him. "I guess this could be called luck. Not too sure if it's good luck, but certainly a kind of luck."
"Y-yes, that sounds good... I'm not as good as the people in those books, but I draw sometimes... although I might not pursue that as a career..." Rin trails off into some mumbling. A few other birds are gathered around the newest "Pretty Coore" manga at the other end of the table. Once practice is over, the birds slowly disperse, although Daichi stays in the room. A familiar parlor roller walks in.. "Oh, Mr. Tsukuda!" Daichi dashes over to him and takes the sheet the teacher's holding. The parlor roller sighs. "Mori, please stop leaving your papers in the classroom. There's a reason your grades are slipping." "Er... yes, sir..." Daichi bows his head. "I never considered joining one... Or at least, none of them interested me. But I do like older books and mystery novels." Takeshi brushes his feathers back with a wing. "But I suppose I may need to get out more." "I got... something, I guess. I'll show you once everyone leaves." Darsha glances at the other club members, who are starting to finish up their fruitless ghost-contacting session.
*Hibki smiles to himself, he’s met this type of person before* Hey now, don’t be so hard on yourself, I’m sure you’re a great artist, my art teacher once told me, “You are your own harshest critic.” Then she gave me an F on a self portrait I thought deserved a C. *He laughs at his own joke*
Fuci looks over the paper that was held up and reads it, beasts? Mindless monsters? Was she referring to shadows? Fucidin thinks it over before giving Blake an inquisitive look Huh.. Well it's certainly interesting! Do you think your channeling some kind of shadow? Or perhaps you are putting on a persona? I'm not exactly sure! At the very least it's something! Fuci then turns his attention to Darsha and nods, looking around at the others finishing up, wondering what she wrote before responding Ooh! Gotcha! I'll wait here then! We've got plenty of time!
Sayaka grins, standing offering her hand to Takeshi to help him stand up as well Well, if you're up for it, I just so happened to find a bit of a mystery today. If you're up for it, we can try to find the thing that's supposed to be lurking in the school. Sayaka neglects to mention that the creature just so happens to be friends with the small, outcast bird, after all, the main goal is to help him get out a little, doesn't really matter if they find anything
Shadows? Persona? What the heck is... Alright, might be time to start trying to figure more of this place out. "What exactly do you mean by that? I can explain exactly what I'm referring to here if you want, but not if you don't do the same... Persona, Shadow, those words seem important but I'm not sure why." She looks over at Darsha, shrugging her shoulders and pulling out a book as they wait for the rest to leave. "I don't have any pressing matters to deal with at the moment so I can stick around too. Who knows, maybe I'll actually add something to this mess."
[Just before Joseph heads out the door, he Splatoon a s Daichi talking to Mr. Tsukuda. He decides to approach the two while giving his teacher a wave.] "Hi Mr. Tsukuda! How has your day been?"
"Just fine, thank you," the teacher replies dryly. He ruffles his feathers and begins to walk out. "Now, has the school been treating you well? Anything off that you've noticed?" Rin laughs a little. "I guess so... I have some drawings in my bag, actually." He pulls out a notebook, turning to one page with a bird surrounded by golden flames. "This is mostly anime stuff in here." "Hm... I don't see why not. Perhaps it's related to Kenji's story about noises in the prep room," Takeshi muses. At the very least, this sparked his interest a little. "He's not a reliable source, but it's a start." Once most of the birds are out, Noburu joins the little gathering as Darsha reveals her writing. It's about the library and books at first, but near the end... "The mirror reflected the ___" The last word is messy, but it looks vaguely like "angel."

Nothing wrong with that, it’s the art style that gives each piece its own personal touch. Besides, your stuff is amazing, way better than I could ever do, then again, my strengths never really lied in art, but it’s nice to meet artistic people anyways becuase I’ve always found art fun to look at.
Explaining more in depth hmm? It was clear that she wasn't a persona user by any chance but something was still off. Even then explaining it fully in depth around more normal peo-er birbs sounded like a bad idea. So he opts to be a little vauge. Hmm.. Well to put it simply a persona is a mask you wear. Something you use to brave hardships and fight back, and a shadow would be what you fight against. Perhaps something you don't want to admit about yourself or a twisted distorted version. Of course this is all speculation! I've got no proof to back any of this up! But this is the Occult club! That's what we are all here for! Fucidin satisfied with his brief explanation then turns back to the writing, his concern grows as he reads the last line.. What... That's... Oddly disturbing... Do we have a mirror in this room? The thing that disturbs me the most is angel though... What could it mean... Fucidin then thinks about it more, where were mirrors? The bathroom? He's heard of spirits haunting bathrooms but it seemed too far fetched...
Alright then, lets get started. Better lead than I've got anyways. Her confident smile back in place, Sayaka would pick up her school bag and head off to the prep room, even if its just a mouse or something, anything to help Takeshi get out a little
No proof? Something tells her that he's lying through his teeth... But she'll return the favor. Not that Blake cares about keeping the normal people from knowing what she can do, Huntresses are meant to work out in the open after all. "Alright then, well I don't have anything like that. I use Aura... Think of it as turning your soul into a weapon and defense, capable of both making one stronger and taking hits for them. Of course it'll run out at some point. As for those beasts, they're called Grimm, mindless monsters made through some unknown means, and drawn to negative emotion to slaughter all in their path. In my home, all this is just common knowledge." With that, Blake would turn over to Darsha's writing and raise a hand to her chin. Hmm, an angel? She's heard of the idea but never been one for religion. "Well, I wouldn't know about things like ghosts and angels. But I guess that if something like that is around... Well, I'll try my best to help you out."
[Joseph crosses his arm behinds his head.] "Eh, well I haven't had any problems with anyone... yet. By the way, what do you mean by 'anything off?'"
"Nothing. It's just that... certain birds are not very accepting of humans. So you'll want to watch your back." Mr. Tsukuda rushes off after that. The prep room seems undisturbed, and there's no place small enough for a "really big bird" to hide. There's cabinets, a mirror, and some tables. "A-ah, really? I'm glad you like it... can I see some of your art, if you have any?" Rin seems to be coming out of his shell. "There's no mirrors here, except in the bathroom... and the infirmary..." Darsha hums. "There's also the classrooms. Some science rooms have mirrors," Noburu chimes in. "The angel part I don't get, but this school is named after a saint." [To be continued==>
