[@Sarcelle Renard] [@chukklehed] [@Crimmy] [b][color=a187be]Natsume[/color][/b]; Saturday Morning - Newspaper Club Room? [hr] [i]CLICK[/i] Natsume blinked, before slowly turning back into a tomato as she realized that the president had suddenly snapped a picture of her without warning. [color=a187be]"Yuuhei-senpai, please delete that immediately."[/color] Her voice suddenly a little more serious. She tried to not let her anger and embarrassment show much, but her eyebrows probably gave it away. Not that she minded her picture being taken, but she disliked it when people did it without her consent. The girl often found herself weird looking in candid photos, and so wanted to avoid them as much as possible. She was just about to try and get the camera out of his hands when he stopped twirling it in his fingers and pocketed the device. [color=a187be][i]"I'll get you next time."[/i][/color] She took note of which pocket it was in, hopefully finding a moment later on to grab it and delete the photo before the president could get it back from her. [color=a187be]"W-well... I don't know."[/color] Natsume replied as she scratched the back of her head with her hand. [color=a187be]"I guess it just hasn't hit me that this is all happening. For all I know, I may have fainted the moment I entered this room and this is all just a dream."[/color] A deep breath before pinching her cheek with her other hand and wincing a bit at the slight pain it brought. [color=a187be]"It feels pretty realistic actually..."[/color] A pause. [color=a187be]"The screaming doesn't help though."[/color] It still all felt so surreal to her. The girl eyed the broom that the blonde was offering her. It was about a head or so taller than she was, so it would have at least give her the reach to make up for her shorter stature. Natsume took the broom into her hands and noted its weight and sturdiness. It'll probably last until she graduates if used properly, but it probably won't last the night if it was used as a weapon. [color=a187be][i]"Well, it's either we get hurt or the clubroom gets a little dirty until they get a replacement."[/i][/color] She was silently hoping that she wouldn't actually have to use it as a weapon against something. The girl proceeded to grip it like a sword and took a few steps back to give her some space to feel it out. Natsume gave the makeshift weapon a few slow and wide swings. [color=a187be][i]"Too heavy on the brush side to use it like a sword."[/i][/color] At the end of the second swing, she slid her hand closer to the center before swinging it again. At the top, she twirled the broom in her fingers a few times before catching the side with the head with her other hand. The shifted weight felt better in her hands, and was satisfied with it. [color=a187be]"Yes, this'll work."[/color] A small smile creeping up on her lips. It was no spear, but it'll get the job done. [color=a187be]"Alright, so where do you want to start making noi-"[/color] Natsume was cut off by a loud scream. And her eyes widened when it sunk in. It was a different kind of loud. It sounded like it came from an actual human. Female. It sounded desperate. Scared. Very scared. And it was close. Her eyes went to meet Yuuhei's, but before she could wait for his reaction, she found herself bolting out of the room and trying to locate the owner of the scream. After a moment, a second scream came, and this was much clearer. As the girl turned to source of the desperate sound, she found the owner running out of the hallway bathroom to be a girl around her age. Black hair, wide open eyes, scared out of her wits. [color=a187be]"Hey! What's wrong?"[/color] She shouted towards the newcomer. The first words she said may have sounded cliched, but if she could identify what was making the girl have such a scary look on her face, then maybe she could find a way to help her calm down. Natsume kept an eye on the girl, carefully watching her to note of any injuries.
