"Oh! Looks like this has become an interesting meeting point on the first day, after all." the blue-haired girl clapped her hands together with a contented look, before it slowly began to fade at everyone's tongues reverting to the god-forsaken-language-she-could-not-speak. Japanese.
Why would you even come to Japan if you couldn't speak Japanese, damn it?! She felt like an outsider. Needless to say, she definitely was. Among all these different people and all these different tongues that were actually the same, but...oh well.
...and then it came. English, oh sweet salvation!

"It's very nice to meet you too, Clarius." she enunciated the words as clearly as possible, though not overly slowly since he did show to have some control over the language. That was good. That line of communication had not been lost on her yet. Though his words lingered in her mind. "Occult Club? Me, I dunno, I'm not very much into that stuff, I mean..."
And she was left to trail off, only just realising the girl with the bright blonde hair was still in their presence.
...wait, no, that wasn't a girl.

Leo's cheeks went red-hot and she almost jumped away, hands gripping at the edge of the loose top she wore, pulling it down further over her black skinny-jeans as much as she could manage. Her eyes held the floor. She couldn't face the boy after making such a terrible mistake. He was incredibly polite about it though. Maybe it had happened before? Or maybe he was just generally very calm about most situations?
"I-I'm...really sorry, I didn't mean to imply anything. I...mm." she bit her tongue. Saying any more would only dig her a bigger ditch than she found herself in already, though she took a couple of deep breaths and tossed her head back, taking another gasp-like breath before seeing the boy eye-to-eye. She still didn't know what his name was, but he'd know hers after all. He referred to her with it.
"I see you've caught my name, eh? I...well, at least French isn't absurdly far off from Italian. I mean, I could have guessed Swahili and been much further off the mark. The name's Leo. Leo Snow. It's very, very nice to meet you too, err..."

She drew blanks for the boy's name. Yes, she'd never been told it before, but that was the part in which he probably would have told her, should another face not made its appearance. A lovely girl in a fluttery pastel dress made her way there, and seemed to know the boy somehow. Were they an item? She was much taller than him, and built differently, too...
And unlike the boy's naturally androgenous features, on closer inspection of this girl through intense lenses, Leo deduced something. This wasn't a girl. The features all lied. It was a young gentleman, in woman's clothing, but it did suit him ever so well. She held her tongue on the matter. He seemed very polite, too. It would be pointless to make any more in a string of blunders for one evening, so she gave them a pleasant smile, only to be met with soft green eyes and kindness and returned their greeting, genuinely happy to meet them. They had an accent though, and their English wasn't very good, but the Japanese seemed on point. Great, this really did leave Leo the only one who couldn't be bilingual where required.
Damn it all!

Damn it all indeed. A bell rung thick and sharp in her ears and it made Leo's teeth chatter. The bell signalling the start of the first lesson. First lesson, and she'd already be late. She went into a panic.
Cleopatra Kiyomi Snow, you are not, I repeat not going to be late to your first class. Understood? Do you even know what it is? Do you remember what you've taken?
Oh yeah.

Advanced English.

"I really, really have to go, you guys. I've got English, first class, and it's the first day, and I can't afford to be late, and I-I-I..." She was about ready to stutter her way out of the situation before another girl approached the lot with long, blonde hair. And from what she caught of her name, Tala seemed to stick the most. She barely had the chance to ask the girl her name fully or even what or who she was and how she knew the people, before she took off. Faster than a speeding bullet, in her words. Like she always would when she was late.
Thankfully she'd had the common sense to take her morning supplies with her and so didn't have to make a mad dash back to her dorm-room, but it was a mad dash nonetheless. There was something on her mind though. Something. Something. Nagging. Nagging away. Something important. Something shocking. Naggingly shocking. What was it? What wa-
Thud.


There was a collision, and an awful sound, and the girl with her attentions elsewhere rammed right into someone else. Well, it was to be certain, after all she wasn't paying much attention to the hallways at all.
The gentleman she happened to ram herself into would have had to have an impeccable amount of control to keep the coffee in his mugs. The impact most definitely shook her, and she fell backwards with a bit of a dizzy expression, which made her whine a little in pain.
She was about to apologise before her eye caught that of the man, in the suit, and the charming blue eyes and red hair, but moreso his determined expression. She was on her way to class, yes, but she could spend just a couple more minutes just staring at this handsome young man from where she was on the floor.
Albeit with her mouth in a relaxed 'o' shape, and her eyes scanning him and her words stuck in her throat, so much that she'd already had to swallow them down once.

And if she had actually paid attention, it was the very same young man who gave her roommate a visit earlier today. Though Leo couldn't have known. Leo didn't pay an abundant amount of attention to that. She was still busy unpacking at the time, after all.
Essentially making it so she had no idea who this beautiful stranger was. Though she wanted to know.
Advanced English could wait just a little bit longer.

It was enough to let the thought in the back of her mind slip away into the abyss after all.
Who was she and why was the front of her shirt covered in so much blood?

Ronny


That bitch got me good. Ronny thought with a curled evil smile as he pressed down on the stab wound that was soon to be scared onto his stomach. Ronny laughed a little as he made his back to his room. Sitting down on his bed he pulled off the shirt he was wearing, quickly stitching up the wound and bandaging it he replaced the shirt with another. Ronny then put on a black jacket and grabbed his things for the first class of the day. With every step Ronny felt a little pain burst through his body, but it wasn't the worst he had experienced.

Ronny arrived into his first class, Advanced English. He looked around the room and smiled once he spotted the kid with the sword. He's the one that detective boy has been going after ever since that night in the basement. He's the one that took her to the nurses office.Ronny smiled evilly and made his way to the back of the room. "Hi, I'm Ronny." Ronny spoke in a nice mature voice. Ronny smiled and the boy smiled back.

"I'm Daniel, first year. Nice to meet you Ronny."'

"Nice to meet you too Daniel." Ronny said smiling and turning toward the board. Now I know his name, and I just need his class schedule... Ronny trailed off thinking with another curled evil smile. "Hey Daniel, what classes do you have for the rest of the day?" Daniel showed Ronny his schedule with a smiled. "Sweet! We have every class together." Ronny exclaimed with a smiled. That will make it much easier for me to watch the little runt. Ronny thought creating a curled smile on his face. Ronny leaned back in his seat, pushing up his glasses he laughed as he knew it would be easy.

Takeshi was a magic man. Once again, not a drop of coffee was spilled. Truly, his skill was impeccable. But, his skill was not really what mattered at the moment. What mattered was that he had been knocked backwards onto his derriere. The coffee mugs landed beside him, unspilled just as was previously described. Due to his "assailant"'s sheer speed and force of impact, the poor guy's landing was a pretty rough one.

"イテッテッテッテッテー…*" Takeshi muttered, rubbing his backside where it had collided with the ground. "痛いだよ…オイオイ、一体何だった?! てめえ…**" It was then that he looked forward and noticed just exactly who his "assailant" was. She appeared to be a young girl, slightly younger than himself, and rather pleasing to look at. Takeshi's scowl turned into a suave smile as he stood up and extended a hand to the girl, offering to help her up.

"あー、ごめん、ごめん。しょうがないね。オレの名前が前鷹武だ。あなたは?***" The young man spoke in his native tongue, ignorant to the fact that the girl before him would likely have trouble understanding him. Though, if she were simply to ask, he would gladly speak in English. He was surprisingly eloquent in English, despite his rather young age. He was taught from a young age, always being told it was vital in the business world.

Takeshi hadn't seen this girl before, let alone spoken to her. Actually, the first part of that was a lie. He did slightly recall her face from the night before when he'd been made to go door-to-door. She appeared to be roommates with one of his exes. Hopefully that wouldn't put his current agenda in jeopardy. The young man had temporarily forgotten about investigating the stabbing as well as skipping class to do so. His current goal was to flirt up a storm with this new, cute girl. Perhaps she'd be the one, perhaps not. It was worth a try.

*Expression of pain
**Roughly: "Ouch...Hey, what the hell? You ass-munch..."
*** "Ah, sorry. It can't be helped. My name's Takeshi Maetaka. Yours?"

Daniel

Because nobody has posted in 2 days I'm going to post.


What a nice guy Daniel thought with a smile as he watched the teacher come in and begin her introduction to the class. The first day in school is always the easiest, because you never do anything. All you do is sit back and let the teacher talk about their class and about them self sometimes.

The class period flew by quickly, he then ran out of the door to find his friend. The class period were only about 30 minutes long, which Daniel found weird, but didn't complain with. Finally rounding the corner he saw Shakuntala with Weisse and Nikita. "Hey guys!" Daniel said shouting and walking into the room with them. He was happy to see all his friends in one location. "How was 1st period for everybody?" Daniel smiled as he asked his question. Daniel was happy to have such great friends already. "So, we have about an hour before our next class, do you guys want to get some coffee? I'm buying!"

Leo swore under her breath, head drooping a little as well now to both shy away from the man's eye and rub the sore bit on her forehead which had made contact with his shoulder,. "Shit, man, I'm really, really sorry." His tone of voice initially seemed...mad? But that didn't change the fact that she had no idea what he was saying. Which was probably for the better. Probably.
More Japanese, sigh. Why do you even bother, Cleopatra? Just go home. Or get a phrase-book. They should sell them near campus. Let's hope so, at least.

"I'm really, really sorry...gah." she continued regardless, though her tone of voice changed when in the next moment, he'd gotten to his feet and was offering her a hand, and was smiling.
I guess the Japanese really are polite. I wish I could apologise to him somehow he understood, but...


"...yeah, I can say whatever I'd like to you in English and you still wouldn't get it, eh?" she laughed a little nervously, reaching out and taking a hold of his hand before pulling herself right up, and almost into his arms with the force she used to balance her body and whatnot. It could almost have been like a scene from a terribly exaggerated romance anime where every little thing leads to physical contact, and thus, tension between the two characters.
...though that was anime, or manga, or every rom-com in the world ever, and in most real life situations, you wouldn't be able to get within a foot of someone you just met, and just threw to the floor completely by accident. Unless you wanted them to call the cops on you.
Japan had cops too. Obviously. Maybe they were nice cops, but they were cops nonetheless.

When she had her footing, she firmed her stance and gave the man an apologetic smile as best she could manage, and a little nod too. Why? Because it seemed like the right thing to do. "Thanks, I really...oh, wait, you've dropped something."
And her hand left his for the brief moment it took her to bend over and carefully pick up the two coffee mugs, one in each hand, and she laughed a little when offering them to him. "You really must love coffee. Two whole mugs? Holy hell. Oh? What do they say...hm."

It probably wasn't rude to read people's coffee mugs. Probably. Probably.
Not like she'd understand anyway, the characters were all in Japanese and-
That's when it came to her. One of the very limited words in her Japanese vocabulary, and the boy she'd come to know as Weiss would be proud of his deduction that was that whatever she knew came from limited anime-knowledge.
"Err...Arigato! Did I pronounce it right? God..." she sighed. A facepalm would be great about now, if, again, her hands weren't occupied with the man's coffee.
"Here. I'm sorry, again."
...
"Wait, did you say...Maetaka?"

"I... Wait, huh?"
What in God's name was going on? First Nikita, then Tala and now Daniel had all managed to find Weisse after he had stopped looking for them. And Daniel was claiming that the first period had ended already?
"I... must have zoned out. Did you say that..? Oh, never mind. Coffee sounds good right now. Anyone else want to join us?"
Weisse hesitated for a moment, then facepalmed. How could he be so rude?
"Forgive me. Daniel, this young gentleman is Clarius. Clarius, this is Daniel."

Takeshi chuckled in a good-natured manner, making sure to smile and look the girl in the eye as he helped her up. (Maetakeshi's Flirting Tips: Smiling shows various things and is generally a good idea.)(Maetakeshi's Flirting Tips: Eye-contact shows self-confidence and an interest in the other person.) "It's fine, don't worry about it. I can speak English just fine if it's the language you would prefer."

Even after she had let go of his hand to reach for the coffee cups, Takeshi maintained a relatively close distance from the girl. (Maetakeshi Flirting Tips: Being close creates an atmosphere of intimacy and we-ness.) The young man took his mugs of coffee into his grasp when the girl across him held them out, making sure his their fingers touched when he did so. (Maetakeshi's Flirting Tips: Make physical contact when given the chance if appropriate.) "I didn't get very much sleep last night, so extra coffee is a must." He chuckled again. "And you pronounced it just fine, there's no need to worry." (Maetakeshi Flirting Tips: Compliment when appropriate.)

Whenever the girl apologized, Takeshi made an effort to reassure her it was all fine and that she had nothing to apologize over. "And yes," he began his reply to her up-to-that-point final comment. "I am Maetaka, Takeshi Maetaka, but you may call me anything you would prefer. A last-name basis just seems so distant, doesn't it?" He smiled in a kind sort of way. "What may I call a cute girl such as yourself?"

Shakuntala looked up as Daniel joined them and smiled. She shrugged "I got lost and didn't end up going to class, it appears. I heard Weisses and Nikatas voices so I followed them, hoping they could help show me back to the classrooms" she said brightly, shrugging "I'll take a hot chocolate. I get really bouncing off the walls with coffe" she said with a laugh and a shrug "I hope I don't get in trouble for missing class" she frowned and bit her lip with worry.

"Just tell them you're still getting use to the schedule, you should be fine though." Daniel said with a smile as he put his hand on Suki's shoulder to reassure her. "But, there's a really nice coffee shop right off campus." Then Daniel heard what Weisse said, he turned and looked at the other person in the room. "Oh! Sorry, I didn't see you there." Daniel said embarrassed. "Would you like to join as for Coffee too? It'd be kinda rude to talk about getting something and not let you have anything." Daniel grinned and walked out of the room followed by his friends. once arriving at the coffee shop he held the door open for everybody and then let them order first.

Ronny


Ronny smiled a bit as he walked out of the class room, he watched Daniel and then followed making sure to stay far enough behind so that Daniel wouldn't think anything was up. Following him half across the school Ronny noticed Daniel head into a room. He then pressed his ear against the door tightly so he could hear. Ronny heard 5 voices total but couldn't make out who was who. After hearing foot steps come to the door Ronny quickly made his way to the nearest class room. He dove in and cracked open the door to see. First out came Daniel then some other kids. Hmmm, Daniel has more friends than I thought. Ronny thought to himself as he wait for them to get out of sight before following them again.

(ok time to post. Everything is happening so quickly!!))

Nikita couldnt make it to her first class, and the next was about to start. Now whether to be with her new friends or go to her classes was the question. Normally Nikita would just go to her class but than again Nikita didn't really have friends that wanted to hang out with her.
"We might be talking about same place Daniel, there is a cafe across street from my work." She says to him with a smile. "I'll take you there." The tall blonde said to the group of her friends. Sure she should be going to class but she also wanted to make and keep friends... It was only the first day of class.
"Come on," she smiled brightly as Nikita turned and walked down the hall, back to the entrance of their school.

Shakuntala nodded, but still worried about her missing class. She had tried hard to find it, but then...distraction. She followed after Daniel, and as he held the door open, and when she went passed, she said, "Someone's following us" She was probably a bit paranoid, but given recent events, she thought that she had reason to be.

What had attacked that girl? She had a horrible feeling that it might not be...completely human. She knew there would be people strong enough to carry a girl as dead weight, but....where had they gone after reaching that window....not down, as there was no sign of someone landing on the ground, and she was sure that there would be. A splat. Or something...

Had anyone thought of up? Climbing up? How hard would that be, with a injured girl? For surely the girl hadn't climbed up herself, injured as she was. It made her uneasy thinking about it, and then having someone following them, even if it was completely innocent, was enough to set her on edge. She quickly found them a table, not standing around to see if there was any reaction from Daniel, purely because she didn't want their follower to suspect anything. She settled down, looking around at the others, and managing to smile.

"Nobody's following us. Just don't get to upset." Daniel smiled as he followed Suki to the table with the others. He had felt a bit weird, like somebody was following them and watching them. But, he shrugged it off knowing it was probably nothing. Yet again he smiled and looked around at his friends. "So, before I take your orders I want to ask you a question. How are you liking the school so far?"

Shakuntaa looked up, and pondered her answer, "You mean besides the attempted murder on a girl, the accusation of trying to murder the girl, and the horrible roommate?" She said, but smiled to show she was trying to make a joke, but felt that it was lame and short sighted. "I miss my brothers, but it''s a nice place. I just wish I had a more friendly roommate. She was actually pawing through my things when I headed back to my room one time, and she had the nerve to call my music bad, when she doesn't even know what I was playing. She hasn't offered her name, nor seems inclined to do so" She shrugged, leaning back, "Hopefully I won't get lost this afternoon"

"Heh. Sounds fun." Weisse commented drolely, feeling the girl's pain. Whilst Daniel was a perfectly acceptable roommate, he knew what she was talking about from home experiences.
"Hopefully, things will get better for you."

He could feel the eyes on the back of his head, like Tala, and when she said that they were being followed he just got all the more paranoid. First the basement, now this. He was on fire today.

"Are you sure we should do this? The murder investigation, I mean? Japan has a police force and the NPA, why don't we let them sort it?"

"In my opinion we should keep it low and investigate. The police might be bribed by the killer." Daniel said laughing at his own joke. "But, I'm sure the school has already informed the police about it. Something like that can't just stay hidden." Daniel said standing up and walking to the counter so he could give the girl their orders. After walking back he excused himself for a moment longer and went to the bathroom. Washing his hands and then coming back, while walking back he noticed Ronny standing outside of the coffee shopping looking in. Daniel opened the door, "Ronny! Come in and I'll buy you a coffee."

"That's the guy that was following us!" Shakuntala said, pleased she wasn't going crazy. But she soon fell a bit silent, thinking for a few minutes. "I'm going to continue trying to figure this out. That jerk is just going around and accusing people who are just concerned. I Will be careful, but I'm going to do it because I just think that it could have been me that got attacked, and i would want someone that cared about me, even if I didn't know them, to investigate, and that girl didn't deserve to be attacked" she said, looking over at them all, her expression serious and determined

Shit! My cover was blown. I hope nobody saw me following them, I need to find more ways to frame these little brats. Ronny thoughts were then interrupted by Daniel's loud cheery voice. "I'll take a raspberry tea thank you." Ronny said sitting down next to everybody. He smiled a wide smile. His voice, it annoys me to no end. I can't wait to put that blade of his in his own back. Ronny then began laughing out loud.
