Ami staggered into the restaurant from the back, carrying several boxes haphazardly wrapped in colorful papers and bows. [color=crimson]"Sorry I'm late, it's was kinda hard to carry all these from my place. We don't all have motorcycles after all!"[/color] She let out a cheery laugh for a moment, stopping as she scrambled to keep her tower of presents from falling. [color=crimson]"Anyways, where the hell am I supposed to put all this? You guys brought way too many Christmas trees!"[/color] 

Eventually she just settled for dumping the various presents on a random unoccupied table, patting it twice and loudly proclaiming it as "The Offering Table." It was then that Ami finally noticed the new girl, one who had an uncanny appearance to herself strangely enough. Brushing it off as a mere coincidence, she rushed over to the new girl and offered her hand for a handshake. [color=crimson]"I don't really know who you are, but Ms. Prez seems to know who you are so I guess that means you're cool! I'm Ami, it's nice to meetcha!"[/color]

Before Touka could have a moment to process the newcomer at their party, Ami was already rushing up to greet her. Hand extended, the new girl kept chewing on her snack, looking down at Ami's palm for a few seconds. Then, something warm would be slapped into her grip, another fresh taiyaki handed over to her from the large paper bag the new girl was carrying. In hindsight, the newcomer probably didn't speak due to the fact she was still chewing on her food.

[color=springgreen]"E-Er, everyone. This is Chiaki Tsukuyomi,"[/color] Touka said with a sigh. Somehow, she knew she was to be the one in charge of introductions. [color=springgreen]"S-She's a few years above us a-and used to be P-President of the Club. I guess y-you could say, she's your S-S-Senpai."[/color] Chiaki only grunted to confirm this, munching on her pastry without a pause in her bites. Behind those red-framed glasses, she looked at Ami now, expecting her to taste the gift.

There was a veritable sparkle in Ami's eyes as she stared at the taiyaki, then back at Chiaki. Then back at the taiyaki. Then to Chiaki once more. Chiaki, taiyaki, Chiaki, taiyaki. Two seconds later the taiyaki was in Ami's mouth, chewing vigorously as she sidled up next to Chiaki. She swallowed her first bite then looked at Touka with a dead serious steel in her eyes. [color=crimson]"This is my new best friend now."[/color] Ami nodded resolutely and then took another bite of her taiyaki, tears practically brimming in her eyes as she praised the kami for her new snack buddy. Truly, a Christmas miracle.

[color=springgreen]"U-Um...well... I guess?"[/color] In hindsight, Touka should have seen this coming. But the President felt a lack of words building up from the sudden camaraderie among them. [color=springgreen]"N-Not that I ever doubted you w-wouldn't be welcome, S-Senpai!"[/color] she said, making way to close the door behind her so as not to let any more frigid air in.

Chiaki barely reacted to Ami's excitement, though she did nod as the other girl consumed her treat. Once she had finished eating her own, she placed the paper bag on a side table, leaving enough for anyone else. [color=ba2259]"It looks like you didn't need me to stick around, Touka,"[/color] remarked the dark senpai, eyeing up the other occupants in the room. Then she turned her stoic gaze back on Ami. [color=ba2259]"Hello Miss....Ami was it."[/color]

A few moments after Chiaki made her appearnace, yet another [url=https://image.ibb.co/nCW1yp/Rania-2.jpg]newcomer[/url] followed in her footsteps. Once inside, she folded in an umbrella which was clearly intended to fend off the falling snow. [color=aba000]"I will never learn to like snow. Never." [/color] The girl said before turning towards the rest of the persons present. 

She was one head taller than most here, and her darker skin betrayed her foreign origin. Her Japanese, however, was flawless. [color=aba000]"This, however...I can work with this."[/color] she said once her eyes fell upon Touka and the rest of the present club members. Some sort of desire sparkled in her eyes. Curiosity? Malice? It was unclear. [color=aba000]"You must be Touka."[/color] she simply said, looking down at the president briefly before slowly walking further in the restaurant, slowly as she was looking at the improvised decorations. She barely acknowledged the rest for now as well as leaving Chiaki the honor of presenting her to her former pupil. 

Another ring and the door cracked open. Not wanting to let more cold in than nessisary; a girl covered in a winter hat, dark glasses, scarf, sweatpants, snowboots, and a thick, puffy coat,  squeezed into the small opening. Although, actually pushing the door open further due to her extra size. Once through, Jin closed the door tightly behind her. Carefull not to pinch her coat. She glanced around, giving a small wave to the crowd with mitten covered hands before waddling over next to an empty table and pulling at her zipper burried beneath her scarf.

Ziii-iii-iipp. Jin heaved, presenting forth a couple of gallons worth of hot tea and coffee in despencers from her coat onto the empty table. Promptly re-zipping her coat before any extra heat could excape. Honestly it was a pain carrying around so much extra weight, but the added warmth on the trip over was a welcome bonus. Not one to stand around, she found herself a place opposite of the door to sit and relax. The others seemed busy in pre-emptive small talk, so she just brought out her book instead. It was good to get a couple pages further before the party actually started.
