It was hard to see properly in the darkness of the closet, but Rika somehow managed to fit herself properly into the uniform, her skirt a little higher then most but still passable, and a pink hair clip snapped in place above her right ear, although it wasn't fulfilling any purpose other then for looks. She wanted at least a little bit of style to show through, even if it was as simple as a single hairclip. Go to overboard and she'd be violating the dress code and could get in trouble, which wouldn't look good for her career if it was a serious enough offense. She used this moment of solitude to take a couple of deep breaths to try and regain her composure. She probably couldn't make the situation any worse right now, so she might as well try her luck once more at making things right again before they had to go to class. She didn't have much time for any theatrics. Something short and sweet. Forget about what anime clichés might work out for her. Try to be more real.

"You can do this Rika!" She thought to herself, slapping her cheeks with the palms of her hands. Perhaps Himawari could have heard the noise or perhaps not. It would have been muffled by the door. She slide it open and stepped out, a bright, reassuring smile on her face perfected through her acting career.

"My apologies, Himawari-San. That was just a silly joke. I'm actually a voice actress, see?" As she said this she walked over to one of the plushies on the desk she had acted for, held it up by her face and moved it around as if it was a puppet, speaking in it's high pitched voice, "Please forgive me, Himawari-san!"
