[color=9a8c9a]"Kiyo didn’t want me placing my servants around the club room. But if you’re inviting me, it should be okay so long as I don’t have any of them on me."[/color] That would about do it before the two departed. [color=9a8c9a]"Take care."[/color] Tsubomi and Haruna ended up going in the same direction, as they both had the same class. Was that right? Michi followed after them too, which rendered parting ways kind of moot. The trope of school children that was following them was only getting bigger. It wasn’t unlike the Pied Piper of Hamelin, only with students. As Sylvia wallowed in her despair, Michi eyed the blond girl. She grabbed her hand as they walked by, causing her to spin around. [color=9a8c9a]"You seem a little lost."[/color] She pointed ahead with her eyes. [color=9a8c9a]"They’re going to trample you if you aren’t careful. Try to pay attention."[/color] [hr] [center][img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/aef3087a-5b67-4c7a-b700-3c45c3052f60.png[/img] [color=tomato]"Shoe-co more like Secret-co amiright fellas?"[/color] [color=888888]— Suki Oyama[/color][/center] Suki sighed. She didn’t have that many interactions with Shuuko, but the girl spent an awful lot of time dancing around details. If something bad happened, it was always an [color=ffffff]"incident."[/color] If someone was involved, they were always given some vague descriptor. After hearing the question, the gears in Suki’s head started to turn, and she remembered something. Her brow twitched before she looked ahead. [color=ff6347]"Right, well, you’ve been spending a lot of time with Roche. Maybe too much?"[/color] She shrugged. [color=ff6347]"I mean you two were openly snuggling in the club room. You also just choked the two of us because we didn’t notice you in your new getup. If you’re that rough with your friend, I could see them thinking you hate them."[/color] Poor girl probably just wanted to be closer to Shuuko, but she was so oblivious to how others felt. Just ahead of them, Suki was able to spot Tsubomi and Haruna coming towards them. As well as a giant mob of students, but she didn’t pay it much mind. It wasn’t like they were being unruly or anything, but it was weird. The hallways had been so empty a moment ago. [color=ff6347]"Hey Sunshine!"[/color] Suki smiled. [color=ff6347]"And it’s Pin-"[/color] Haruna could have written that letter. She did seem like the conscientious sort, and it was a given that she knew how to write calligraphy really well. Probably, she seemed like the type. She might have been a little deceitful, but like Kiyo had said, she wasn’t a maleficent person. She had managed to hide her identity as a light girl. It wasn’t that big of a stretch to assume that she could hide passionate emotions behind those baggy eyes. The only thing Suki had to do was decide how she felt about this. [color=ff6347]"Uh…"[/color] Suki had stopped in her tracks. [color=ff6347]"So uh, meet you guys later for lunch."[/color] She blushed slightly and continued to walk back to class. Michi was still holding Sylvia’s hand when she approached everyone. [color=9a8c9a]"Quick question, before you guys go to class."[/color] Her eyes scanned everyone. [color=9a8c9a]"Out of everyone here, who do you suppose likes Suki the most?"[/color] [hr] [color=ff0000]"Good."[/color] Regina seemed satisfied with Roche’s plan. [color=ff0000]"I guess-"[/color] The two were interrupted by Ember’s sudden intrusion. With a sigh, Regina pinched the bridge of her nose. [color=ff0000]"Was I not fast enough? Eh, let’s catch up later."[/color] She reached into Roche’s pocket and pulled out her phone. With a phone in either hand, she quickly added a phone number. [color=ff0000]"There we go. Just call ‘Regina Grace’ if you need to get a hold of me."[/color] When she handed Roche her phone back, she quickly pecked the girl on the cheek before standing upright again. [color=ff0000]"Thanks again."[/color] She smirked before turning to the door. With a lunge, the western style door flew open, and Ember was thrown backwards. [color=ff0000]"The hell are you doing, eavesdropping on us?"[/color] She placed her hands on her hips. [color=ff0000]"I’ll have you know I graduated from this very school just a few years ago. There isn’t a single student here that’s my senior, and you have the nerve to follow a fellow teacher and a student into a classroom that isn’t yours!?"[/color] She glanced up at a clock on the wall. [color=ff0000]"Classes should be starting any moment now. You’ll have plenty of time to worry about club equipment later when club activities are active. Tell those fools they’ll have plenty of time to run around in circles once they get some studying done!"[/color] With Ember’s cover thoroughly eviscerated, Regina stomped her way past the girl and left. Though there was a curious lipstick stain on Roche’s cheek. [hr] [color=daa520]"Sure sure! Here’s one."[/color] In no time at all, he unpacked his laptop and set it on her desk. He folded it open, and it looked like he already had the video prepared. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYB8IZa5AuE[/youtube] [color=daa520]"I’ll give you some time to watch that."[/color] He reached into his satchel again, this time to pull out all the work sheets and some spare paper for writing. [color=daa520]"The first few are pretty easy, and they get a little harder as you go along. When you’re done watching the video, do you mind if I help you with the first few? They’re easy, but I’d feel a little bad if I didn’t do a few questions with you. That’s what tutors are supposed to do, right?"[/color] [hr] [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/019886bc-1bdb-7418-9dbb-e5f6307434fb.webp[/img] The cat’s TV case turned to a most unusual image of an eyeless Cheshire cat. [color=ff7f50]"Only a single sentence of build up? The Grand Magistrate must be in a yank."[/color] The static flickered and was lightly covered in static. [color=ff7f50]"What an unusual existence. I am a cat in a TV now. I still do not exist from your perspective, gentle watcher. Yet the TV does not exist from [i]their[/i] perspective either. Is it possible for something to not exist more than once? I had thought existence itself was a binary. You’re either a Zero or a Sum-One…"[/color] The cat purred, or was it a growl. [color=ff7f50]"Little weed, you know mascots aren’t very sociable creatures. You’ll have a better chance talking to the color yellow, or the words ‘I love you.’ And before you try, I think that would be a waste of your time. I brought them up to demonstrate the futility of your actions. On the topic of wishes though, is there one you’d like granted?"[/color]
