Makoto finished off her brownie and stepped away from the container, so that everyone else could have one if they wanted. Maybe if there were some left over at the end she'd take another one, but not before then. The club leader announced something about waivers that they needed their parents to sign, as soon as they came out, punk ass bitch grabbed one and left. Good riddance. The room suddenly felt a lot nicer without that piece of trash stinking the place up. Makoto was curious about the what the waivers said, and why they needed them, but she still wanted to talk to the club leader about her own ghost encounter first.

But it looked like that would be difficult to do. Considering half the people in the room were surrounding her and pestering her about costumes. Makoto sighed, she'd just have to stick around for a little longer until the crowd thinned out. She heard someone introducing themselves as Octavia King, in English naming style. English? Makoto was suddenly very excited. Not realizing, or caring that she was probably interrupting a conversation, she went over to the girl and grabbed her hands. [i]"England or America?[/i] She said in perfect, unaccented English. Actually it was her Japanese that was accented, because she had been raised in America.

Even if the girl was from England, Makoto was still excited to find someone who spoke English, and maybe even understood her American mannerisms. The only other people she knew who did were her parents, who tried their best to forget about America and just be Japanese, and tourists, who were frightened off by her sudden, and usually loud, advances. She decided she should probably explain why she was going this to Octavia, and, you know, introduce herself. [i]"Oh yeah, my name is Makoto Zukamori. I was born here in Japan but raised in America. Probably explains a lot, huh?"[/I] People always seemed to understand her better when she mentioned the fact that she was raised in America. Makoto herself realized that it was for that reason that she was such a black sheep.
