[u][i]~Tuesday, October 27th - 3:30 PM~[/i][/u]
[u][i]~Classroom 2-A, Yurei High School~[/i][/u]

A redhead sat towards the center of the room, clicking her pen as she silently observed the rest of the people in the room. Well, the room was more crowded then she thought it was going to be, that was for sure. She was certain half of these people were here for the free snacks. That was part of the reason she was here, at least. She could never say no to free food being offered. That, and to get some juicy gossip and stories from this so called 'Occult Club'. She had high hopes for this club and its president as a source of good material for her blog. People ate ghost stories up like little kids ate candy at Halloween.

Of course, she was also interested in what exactly the president was planning for the club. Fake hauntings? Setting up some silly ghost or something to jump out at them? Or maybe it was going to be something more mundane like drawing magic circles or some other silly stuff. If it was something like that the entire time, she wasn't sure she'd stick around. Well, aside from writing a little blurb in her blog about a local crazy students try to summon a demon.

Heh~

That'd be an interesting little piece for sure. She could probably come back every so often and continue to write stuff like that. That is, if the club president didn't kick her out, of course.

Speaking of their new oh-so-glorious (and also quite adorable and cute looking leader if she did say so herself), she was currently standing at the front of the room. She couldn't tell what she was thinking at all. Matsushima Mitsuko. A bit of an ice-queen, if her research was correct. From the look of her, you wouldn't think her to be one that believed in little ghost stories and fairy tails. Appearances could be deceiving, though, and expert ninja of journalism like her knew that better than everyone~

She heard someone pop a bubble. Apparently the local delinquent and heart breaker Charles Thompson had decided to join. Weird. She couldn't understand why he would join. She clicked the pen that was in her hands once, as she thought.

He was in no way interested

click.

...unless...

click click.

Her eyes rested on him, a small snicker escaped her lips. Maybe...he had a thing for the president! Ohohohoh, that was glorious, if even slightly true! Well, either that or the president roped him into it somehow...maybe Charles was secretly a masochist then? That would be news that the entire school would love to hear!

...pfft. Well, whatever. Leader lady had started talking.

[i][b]"Good afternoon, everyone. For those of you I have not met previously, I am Matsushima Mitsuko. It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to the first meeting of the newly-refounded Occult Club. The advertised snacks will be served at the end of the meeting, so please be patient."[/b][/i]

....well darn. She was hungry. She was promised free food...ah, well. Tough it out Seiko, tough it out. You're a big girl. Just focus on the cute prez for now.

[b][i]"Now then, today's club meeting will take the form of a hybrid lecture-seminar, to introduce those of you with little occult experience to basic knowledge about the occult. I will be leading a discussion on the matter, and all of you are free to ask me questions, within reason. This Thursday's meeting, as well as all subsequent meetings, will take a group discussion format generally, but because many of you might have little experience with the subject-matter, I've prepared some basics to go over for today. We will also be discussing the theme of this year's Halloween Extravaganza, and I will be distributing waivers for those who are interested."[/i][/b]

Hmm~

Sounded reasonable. Sounded like prez lady thought this out quite well.

[i][b]"Let's begin. Would anyone like to tell me what a 'ghost' is?"[/b][/i]

Seiko raised her hand.

[i][b]"Ah, and please, if your answer is 'nonexistent' then kindly don't bother raising your hand."[/b][/i]

And then promptly lowered it. GG, prez, you were one step ahead of her. This girl was more formidable then she may have initially believed. Unfortunately, she was also quite the game player. She raised her hand again.

[color=8882be]"We~ll,"[/color] She said giving a small, almost playful seeming smirk to Mitsuko from where she sat. [color=8882be]"If we're talking about those [i]fantasy[/i] creatures from [i]myths[/i] and [i]legends[/i], then they're supposedly the spirits of the dead."[/color]

A basic enough explanation, and she made sure to emphasize the words 'fantasy' 'myths' and 'legends' to obviously imply that they weren't real. She'd see just what this little president was capable of. She scribbled little circles on her notepad with the pen as she waited for her reply, or at least someone else to say something.
