Speaking with:[@Hero][/Right][hr] As the chimes signaling the end of the school day rang out across the school, a near immediate sense of liveliness began to manifest. Genki sat back in his chair as he waited for the flood of students to funnel through the door. He learned his lesson last year after trying to go with the swarm. After the initial torrent of students, Genki got up, grabbed his backpack, and headed through the door. He debated heading straight home. He didn't really have much to do today, and he could probably spend the rest of the day goofing off. But on the other hand, his grandparents would probably just have him do a bunch of chores around the house, or worse, yardwork. Mowing the lawn was already going to be a bitch and a half, the last thing he wanted to do was spend time pulling weeds or watering plants. He could think of only one way to avoid such a fate: after school activities. Thinking back to earlier in the day, he recalled his standing on the clubs. Occult was a big no-no. The prospect of learning to play an instrument in the music club was certainly tempting, but the loud noise at school would drive him mad, and the practice at home would likely do the same to his grandparents. Sports... no. Then there was the Cooking Club. All things considered, it didn't seem that bad. It would be a nice life skill to have, and eating good food is never a bad thing. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick message to his grandparents. [color=ed1c24][i]"Going to check out a club for after school stuff. Going to be late getting home."[/i][/color] He received a text back from his grandfather almost immediately. [i]"ok"[/i]. Genki sighed before whispering to himself. [color=ed1c24]"Not even capitalized. At least he was quick about it."[/color] Another ping alerted him to a text from his grandmother. [i]"Be sure to tell us all about it when you get home!"[/i] At least she seemed somewhat excited about it. Probably glad that he was doing something other than lazing about. Not knowing where the Cooking Club was, he descended the stairs to the first floor to look at the map containing the layout of the school, likely for first year students, and probably to clarify things after the renovations. Looks like the Cooking Club meets on the... third floor. Genki's shoulders slumper forward. [color=ed1c24]"[Ah, fuck,] I'm going to have climb all those stairs again aren't I?"[/color] Was it really worth it? To climb the seven thousand steps to the third floor after climbing all the way down? Well, just about anything was better than menial chores and yard work back home. It was time to make the trip. After the most arduous minute and twenty three seconds of his life, Genki's foot hit the final step, and he found himself at the third floor. [color=ed1c24]"Guh... I am [i]not[/i] looking forward to being a third year."[/color] He approached the room to the Cooking Club and looked inside. It certainly looked like a place to do cooking given all the equipment laying around. One girl looked significantly more like she knew what she was doing. She even had an apron on. He took a few quick steps towards her. [color=ed1c24]"Uh... are you the Cooking Club leader? I was looking to join up. This'll be my first time joining a club, and this one seemed pretty good compared to some of the others. My name's Mori, Genki, but I usually go by Genki."[/color]
