[center][b]Matsushima Mitsuko[/b] [i]Classroom 2-A, Yurei High School[/i][/center] "...really? This has to be a joke." Shaking her head in response to the ever-escalating conflict that had overwhelmed the club meeting, Mitsuko fixed a cold gaze on Makoto and Charles both before glancing in the direction of the wounded newcomer. "My apologies for my subordinate's actions; if you need an ice pack, do let me know." Her expression set firmly, a exquisite glass figurine held in place, she stepped forwards to the now-collapsed figure of Charlie and reached over, grabbing the delinquent by the hair to wrench his head up off of his desk. "I will be blunt, dog. You are here because I have [i]use[/i] for you. The second that I decide that the detriment you provide has a higher weight than that use is the second that I [b]break[/b] you." She stated calmly, her voice failing to betray any emotion, as though she was talking down to a child. It seemed that she didn't realize that, even in an injured state, Charlie was still fully capable of retaliating against her. Or perhaps she did realize, and simply didn't care. "Do you understand that, dog? You are to follow my instructions to the letter, and that is final. If you step out of line and I decide that your presence isn't worth my time anymore, then I'm happy to stop playing this little game. I don't care what you do outside of my club. Cause all the chaos you want, seek revenge, start a fire, it does not matter to me. However, when you are following my instructions, in my organization, you are not to take a step out of line, or I can assure you that you will regret it. Are we clear?" After releasing Charlie's head and sighing to herself helplessly, she turned slightly to Makoto, her expression equally stiff. "...as for you, I don't care how upset you get with others. If you want to resort to physical violence, then do it outside of my club. Debate, discussion, and even argument are all fine; this is a controversial club, so such things are to be expected. What I will not tolerate are showings of physical violence and vigilante justice. As this is your first offense, I won't be taking action, but keep that in mind in the future." "If you lot can't follow those directions, then things will get especially problematic when spiritual force congregations get higher. It's not the sort of thing I'm capable of handling on my own, and overuse of Mr. Bear would be problematic, so I will be trusting in your capacity to listen to me and trust in my judgment." With that, Mitsuko airily stepped back to the front of the classroom, a pale hand briefly reaching up to massage her temples before she looked back out over the group. "Now then, if there are any remaining questions or comments, kindly voice them at this time. Newcomer, if you came for the Occult Club meeting, then I can explain what I told the others prior to your arrival after the bulk of the meeting is over; for now, just know that the Halloween Extravaganza will be a ghost hunt on the school campus this Saturday night, and an introduction to the occult; I'll be passing out permission slips at the end of the meeting."
