[color=92278f][b][h3]Aika Aramachi[/h3][/b][/color] It was hardly an uncommon sight to see a high school student half-absorbed in their phones. However, seated furthest back, keenly watching to ensure not a single person glimpsed over her shoulder, Aika was not using her phone to simply send text messages or casually browse the internet. Instead, she was making notes on her super secret compilation of observations. While included in these observations were plenty of mundane facts, alongside them were also theories. One look at these theories would probably make someone believe that Aika was insane, and they wouldn't be completely incorrect. Aika was busily creating absurdly fantastic theories about the people here as they spoke. Naturally, she started with the club president. [color=92278f][i]Theory: Two ideas; either the prez is a concerned citizen (boring!), or part of a government scheme to dissuade people from investigating the supernatural. Everyone with a brain knows the government suppresses the existence of aliens, espers, and other creatures. It would make sense they would place people in high schools to lead "occult clubs" to make sure nobody engages in actual investigations of the occult. It could be that the prez will lead us on a bunch of extremely boring activities to make us think this is a really dull idea.[/i][/color] Mitsuko then told them to start introducing themselves. Seemingly a typical way to start a social activity....or a cunning method of extracting information about those interested in the occult. She could be looking for the best way to turn them off of investigating further. In any case, the first one to speak was one Yoshi Watanabe. Aika had already heard talk of the Christian girl from others, and she already had some ideas about her swirling around in her head. [color=92278f][i]Theory: This one's easy; Watanabe is clearly a Jesuit inserted into the Japanese school system in order to indoctrinate students into the Catholic faith. It's obvious that the Christians never gave up on converting Japan, even after the Sakoku, so it makes sense they would send their infiltrators into the country. Subtly, of course, since they don't want to risk another Sakoku period. All this stuff about "Protestants" and the rest is just a ploy to make people think they're not involved in a united effort to convert and control the world. Note to self; fishermen may in fact be Christian agents.[/i][/color] When she sat down, the next to speak was Zane Wulf. He had some rather confrontational things to say regarding Watanabe's words. Naturally, this got Aika thinking. [color=92278f][i]Theory: Zane Wulf must be a counter-Christian agent from the New Atheist movement. Everyone knows the Christians are engaged in a constant war with the non-believers, especially in the United States. Wulf must have been sent here to fight the influence of Jesuit preachers like Watanabe, hence his hostility to her faith. What I don't get is why they gave him such an odd infiltration name. Who would believe that the name "Zane Wulf" belonged to a Japanese native? He has to be an American.[/i][/color] After Zane was Ai Yamauchi. [color=92278f][i]Theory: I got nothing. Hasn't said enough to give me an idea of who she is, and she's too new to stir up rumors already. Maybe she's just a bystander? Probably not though.[/i][/color] Then there was Yuki Asahiro. As she had stated herself, Aika had heard about her after joining the track team. She was a bit of an athletic celebrity at the school, or so it would seem. [color=92278f][i]Theory: I've always considered that androgynous people might be the results of government experimentation to blur gender lines and undermine traditional society. Perhaps Asahiro was released into the public to see just what they could get away with using androgynous agents? Only time will tell.[/i][/color] Travis Furukawa spoke next. He seemed like an awkward soul right off the bat. [color=92278f][i]Theory: Not sure about this one either. Since he clearly has American heritage, he could be working with Wulf, but that would just be guessing. Although, if I had to peg anyone here for being an actual demon worshiper, it would be this guy.[/i][/color] As for Seiko Karuta, Aika was sure she had felt her gaze on her at least once during the meeting. She was already suspicious of her...more suspicious than usual, at least. [color=92278f][i]Theory: If this club is legit, then maybe Karuta here is a government investigator sent to look into seditious activities among the student body. Obviously if there were real demon summoners at this school, the government wouldn't want them pulling that off under their noses. After all, they probably have a monopoly demon summoning as is. Alternatively, she could be working with the prez to root out the people actually interested in the occult. Her claims to skepticism are almost certainly a false front.[/i][/color] Aika's interest was piqued by the mention of the JSDF by Ena Watari, the next one to speak. Although she seemed all nervous and unsure, Aika was convinced the opposite was true. [color=92278f][i]Theory: A JSDF soldier would no doubt train their children well, so no doubt the shy act is a cover for her keen military trained senses. If this is a government ploy, I have no doubt that Watari is involved in it. Even if not, she'll surely report any seditious activities to her JSDF father. I should demonstrate extreme caution around her, as she might be the most dangerous person here.[/i][/color] It occurred to Aika at this point that she had been silent for some time, simply sitting at the back tapping away at her phone. She was sure the others would be getting suspicious of her by now, so she took the opportunity to be the next to speak. Any hint of focus and observation on her face would certainly be gone; replaced by the vapid look of a silly little high school girl. [color=92278f][b]"Hey everyone! Aika Aramachi, first year here! I just joined because I thought it would be, like, a fun little activity. A fun fact from me is that I own, like, 100 pairs of shoes."[/b][/color] She then sat down calmly. She was sure she had nailed it; nobody would suspect the vain schoolgirl with more clothes than sense! Of course, Aika didn't appreciate just how true that was.
