	The group that came earlier joined everyone else in gawking at the Spirit Committee. Of course, they recognized [color=00aeef][b]<<Aila>>[/b][/color] and her special brand of eye-catching uh . . . something, but it was never really the kind of thing you could get [i]used[/i] to. Of course, when they were inevitably told off by a teacher, most of the students laughed good-naturally. The older ones nodded in approval - strange though it might be, it still got people to attend the party. Though the different factions of that school used that same party to gather new members, it was still imperative that they get the new kids to attend - the Spirit Committee was right after all: It was better they become familiar with the less normal parts of the school in a place where it could be controlled, rather than in some random place where fatal accidents could happen.

	The group that had initially approached [color=00aeef][b]<<Poppy>>[/b][/color] and [color=00aeef][b]<<Belle>>[/b][/color] split up; three conversed with [color=00aeef][b]<<Aila>>[/b][/color] and her Committee while the remaining two stayed with former aforementioned girls. 

	The oldest girl couldn't hold back a chuckle. [color=00aeef][b]<<Poppy's>>[/b][/color] awkwardness was a bit adorkable to watch - kind of like watching a pug chase it's tail. "About the party, she's right. It's a great way for all the newcomers to be introduced, and don't worry, there's no bullying," added the senior in consideration for [color=00aeef]<<Poppy>>[/color]. 

	"As if [i]anyone[/i] would attempt a bull-session with Winston or Louise around," muttered her companion loud enough for them to hear.

	With [color=00aeef][b]<<Aila>>[/b][/color], the boy that preformed the treatment on [color=00aeef][b]<<Poppy>>[/b][/color] explained himself. "It's no problem. Mine's not one of the more frightening abilities anyway - if anything, I'd say it's rather attractive to be around," he said cheerfully. "Besides I think the girl somehow didn't notice."

	Louise group stopped as they neared [color=00aeef][b]<<Timothy>>[/b][/color] and the others. The cause was because Louise herself stopped; apparently, she had gotten to a point of frustration with the Rubik's cube she was toying where she could no longer focus on anything else, including walking. After a few seconds of frustrated twisting and glaring, she gave up and shouted: "Hey, any of you guys have any tips for fixing this thing!?"

	Her question was met with stiff silence. No one wanted to answer her, for fear of giving the [i]wrong[/i] answer. Of course, Louise was beginning to look annoyed with the [i]lack[/i] of answer, so it was becoming increasingly clear that they were doomed either way. The group looked at each other nervously, desperately wishing someone would sacrifice themselves for the whole.

	"Oi, you, girl over there," she said, looking at [b][color=00aeef]<<Thisa>>[/color][/b] with a frown, "you look smart, you mind helping me here? These guys are useless," she added while jotting a thumb at the crowd behind her, who were much relieved at no longer having to offer up a human sacrifice to the tiny goddess of darkness.

	Meanwhile, coming in from the other direction was a group of four students. They stopped in their tracks when they saw Louise and scooted closer to [b][color=00aeef]<<Alice & Nathan>>[/color][/b], positioning themselves strategically behind them. "What's going on here?" one of them whispered to the two. The oldest one of them silently pulled out a cellphone and began recording with it, an expectant look on his face.
