October was here. As spooky as Halloween could be, Oros doubted anything would top Black Gate and her wicked nightmare inducing monkeys. But that was okay. In Japan, Halloween wasn’t some kid’s holiday where people got razor laced candy from strangers. It was an excuse for adults to dress up, get drunk, and do something that would land them in jail. She doubted any of her peers could really appreciate the holiday like she could, which was the correct way.

But she hadn’t called a club meeting to talk about that. 

Speaking of club meetings, this one was being hosted in the attic of that mansion Rei had tried to snag. It wasn’t theirs yet, but only good girls concerned themselves with the laws of man. Oros had it on good authority that classes would be starting here as early as next week. And while that information wasn’t known by all members of the club, it also wasn’t especially important. Oros only knew because Bast had told her, and she was no more trustworthy than Pinocchio.

Nothing had been done to the attic to make it livable, as it wasn’t really their space yet. It was very much a space to store things in that had no concern for how it looked or felt. Some wood planks had been nailed in place to make the floor strong, but it wasn’t pretty. Every step made a creaking sound, and cobwebs lingered in every corner. There were some cardboard boxes that held things in storage, and they had all been recently opened. Most of it was old documentation for taxes, but one of the boxes contained a stack of Fun Men magazines. Someone had recently flipped through them all, as there was very little dust on that particular box. Nor was there any dust in front of it, as if someone had a coughing fit and suddenly fell to the ground. Otherwise, a few boxes had been arranged side by side to make a center table of sorts, which was about the right height for a kneeling height table. There were only three sources of light in the attic. Once was an uncovered lightbulb that cast a warm orange glow, and the others were the windows at either end. They were as tall as the attic was and had a frame that divided up the glass like a pizza. During the day, the light coming in from the windows was so bright the old lightbulb wasn’t necessary. 

Most everyone had shown up, save for the usual suspects. Rei was always absent from these meetings, and Willow was only there half the time. And when she did show up, she kept herself hidden until she chose to reveal herself. This would do.

[color=ff6347]"So uh, we gotta hunt giga miseria now, I guess."[/color] After a pause, Oros added. [color=ff6347]"And it can’t be in Hibusa town."[/color] With a sigh, she added another statement. [color=ff6347]"And the GEMS are still hanging around. Outside of Hibusa, which makes doing anything nearby sorta risky. So we need to get them to go away, or go really, really far away for our miseria hunting."[/color]
