Mura sat, listening to Seiko talk about why she became a journalist. Apparently such a job was almost tailor made for the girl in front of her, but then again she wasn't really surprised. But then came the worst part. Seiko started smiling, with a less than direct comment that was clearly a sign of ill tidings. And the it hit; the equivalent exchange ordeal. Mura really hadn't thought about such an outcome, but it was all too expected from a girl of her personality. Even before the question was asked, Mura could already tell what was going to be asked.

Then the girl paused, clearly giving Mura some time to think about what she had just said. Unfortunately for Seiko, the colours Mura were seeing were far more monotonous than colourful; or at least thats what they could be described as. All she could see was every single shade of blood red.
[b]"You... I..."[/b] she said in and out of short breaths, cheeks becoming redder as it went on, [b]"You... IDIO-"[/b] she began to shout, only to stop as she realised that everyone would be looking at her and that Seiko had completely changed the subject. Now the topic was clearly blackmail related, which was also something that could only go badly, no matter which way Mura sliced it. 
[b]"The reason I joined... Hmm, now lets see... Snacks were a pretty big decider, but I also wanted to know if ghosts are real so I can talk to my brother after I ki- so I can speak with him. I can only assume he's dead, since I haven't seen him for a couple months."[/b] Her blush was slowly fading away, but the slight tears at the side of her eyes would give anyone staring even more reason to look on. Mura then stood, bowed, and began to make her way to where Mitsuko was so she could grab a waiver.]
[b]"Thank you for the brownie, Seiko."[/b] she said as she walked away, giving a slight wave as she approached Mitsuko.
