They came in the blink of an eye. One moment, relative calm in the cafeteria. The next, pep and chaos, wrapped in charismatic exteriors.

The St. Dymphna's Spirit Committee. 

In they came, whooping and laughing and cheering, engaging every student they saw. They were clad in bright school t-shirts with paint smeared on their faces in the school colours. To newcomers, they'd recognize them as the upperclassmen who'd cheered at them and thrown streamers when the new grade came inside for the first day. Older classmates would likely see them as the irritatingly cheery welcoming pests, but they didn't care. 

Their leader, Aila Duquesne. She skipped along, smiling, a thick ponytail of cornrows swaying with every step. Following her were about nine other students, all juniors and seniors, all trying just as hard to rally up the newbies. Aila hovered around for only a moment before climbing up onto a table, motioning for her partners to quiet down. 

"Hello everyone your attention please!" She called, her voice somewhat louder than what would be expected, carrying clearly to every corner of the large room. She smiled. "Now, before someone takes me down from here, I'd just like to announce that we hope to see all you freshmen at the intro party tonight! Believe me, it's a party you'll want to be attending." A sly knowing glinted in her eye. "As for the rest of you, welcome back!"

Aila didn't have much time to say more, as a teacher came to get her off the table, grumbling something about "Respect of school property..." and "Advertising out-of-school events on the grounds." The rest of the Spirit Committee left the cafeteria in pursuit of any area they hadn't already hit. It was pretty important, after all, to get as many newbies to that party as possible. Better they find out about the school's 'eccentricity' there rather than finding out on their own and freaking to about it. 

In any case, she saw a bit of a crowd around the end of a table and moved toward it, seeing a few familiar faces in the bunch. "Hey! You alright there?" she asked as the image of a dishevelled girl came into view. However, it looked like a few from the group already had it covered. Nudging the senior boy, she murmured, "Little risky doing that during the day, don't you think? Don't want to scare them off too soon..."
