Tsuki cocked her head, looking straight over Kozue's shoulder. She smirked at Rika, flashing a thumbs up. A bit... odd though. This girl seemed much younger that Tsuki yet she was technically her elder. Really odd. Well, whatever, not like she was going to greet her

"Heey!" Tsuki grinned. "Name's Tsuki. You - "

There was a loud noise. Tsuki nearly jumped back.

"....The hell was that?"

She turned to look at the boy whose shoulder she seemed oh-so intent on peeking over. Tsuki made a bit of a face.

"Well," Tsuki scratched at her head, trying her best to look calm. "We're doing a pretty bad job of it, sitting out here."

... Naw. Couldn't be from the paintings. No fucking way. Tsuki patted Kozue on the shoulder before quickly squeezing past him. Gotta save face. "Like, where the hell do we even start?" She looked around. "Split up?"

... Oh. The girl from before's already moving down the hallway.

Shit.

"Hey, hey, wait." Tsuki started walking after Rika. Jeez. She had a bad feeling about this.

"So like..."

Tsuki blinked, peering over Kozoe's shoulder and further into the room proper. Her eyes were welded halfway shut. She nearly yawned and rubbed at the nape of her neck.

"Where the hell are we again?"

She was still in that weird state of mind where reality was still unfocused and she was totally not going to question the fact that there was a museum in the middle of a schoolhouse. In fact, Tsuki's mind focused more on the fact that no one seemed to realize she was there. So she said something.

"Oh. Hey, by the way."

Tsuki just. Totally tagged along.

Leaking Worlds

Holy crap I'm sorry guys. Not like you guys were waiting on me or anything

Leaking Worlds

Uhh, I totally have not forgotten about you guys. I'll have to post tomorrow though. Please don't leave me in the dust my heart will shatter into a million pieces.

Also, is everyone else already awake?

Leaking Worlds

Oh Tsuki's out by the way.

Leaking Worlds

"Wow, way to kill the joke." Tsuki said, waving her hand aside. She made a face but quickly smiled, because she knew Sho was just screwing around.

More people arrive. Jesus, was that Toby? Did they get off of the same bus? Tsuki tsked. No Yayoi to be seen either. Man, she was going to be in the doghouse wasn't sh -

The migrane hit, but in her drowsy daze she could not figure out the exact extent of the pain. She pressed her hand to her temple. Just looking around.

Everyone was, like, passed out.

Wow.

This is some serious shit.

Friday, April 10th, 11:56PM - Old School Building

In hindsight, it was probably a terrible idea to fall asleep against a tree. For one, Tsuki's neck was stiff as all hell. Second, a mosquito bit her left ankle. Third, finally, and most importantly, for the first moment she woke up, Tsuki completely forgot where she was. She sighed deeply when she was finished spinning her head around.

"What time is it?" Tsuki groaned.

Man, how irresponsible. Yayoi probably came and left already. She was probably annoyed, and rightfully so. Tsuki got up to her feet, smoothing out her trousers. That was when she heard a familiar voice not too far off. Still waking up herself, Tsuki wandered away from the tree towards the opening near the front. Oh, cool, it was Sho and... Suzume? Yeah, that was her name.

"Sho-Chaaan. Suzume." She said. "What are you - "

And others. She stopped grinning, stopped talking. Her hand reached for her tie reflexively. She also noticed that there were grass stains on her jacket. Lame. Tsuki yawned, shuffling from foot to foot. There were a lot of people. She recognized a few people from her year, Sho included, a third year dude and... a couple she had absolutely no clue about.

Well, this was awkward. One girl asked when did 'this' turn into a party. Tsuki cleared her throat.

"So, like, you guys having a party?" Tsuki asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Pretty crap place to have it, if you ask me."

Leaking Worlds

*sits in beach chair, slips on sunglasses* I'll wait

Leaking Worlds

Oh ugh it's 4 am but I introed. Tsuki's hanging around the fence surrounding the old school. She's an overachiever.

Leaking Worlds

Tsubaki of all people should have known that there's no such things as ghosts. So. Like. Why did she even suggest spending the night to Yayoi again?

Sigh.

"Where the hell is she?" Tsuki asked, flipping her phone open. Her girlfriend sent a text at around noon confirming they were totally meeting up. That was several hours ago. School's out. Tsuki even snuck out early just for the sake of being early. But here she was, still in her uniform, standing in front of a stupid fence wrapped around a abandoned school like a complete creeper. Yeah no one was going to see anything wrong with this.

Tsuki looked towards the sky, eyes squinted. The sun was starting to set. That... Made her feel kind of horrible? How long had she been standing there? Her father was home today, sure, but she could be off doing something constructive.

Maybe it was all for her girlfriend. She wasn't falling head over heels for Yayoi but she clearly dug her well enough to waste so much time for her sake... Or maybe her nerves were playing tricks on her. Or... Something.

Impatient, Tsuki flipped her phone open and gave Yayoi a call. It went straight to voicemail, which was... Odd. Yayoi was OCD when it came to charging her phone and she always had it on. She tried again, just in case it didn't go through.. Nothing.

Tsuki couldn't just leave, could she? What if Yayoi arrived the second she left? She'd be in the doghouse for sure. Maybe she'll... She'll just wait to hear back. Just in case she was really coming.

Tsuki sighed a second time, pressing her back up against the chain-link fence. Honestly, she had no clue how they was supposed to get inside. They could climb the fence and break a window, maybe. But. Like, didn't somebody say the fence was gone? That's what Tsuki told Yayoi...

Confirmed rumors her ass, Tsuki thought, as she looked towards the old school and saw a silhouette standing in one of the windows.

Unable to make anything out, she started scanning windows, wondering if there was anything else. In typical horror movie fashion, the figure was gone when she looked back.

Friggin spooks, man.
