April 10th. The "Other Side".


So the cat lady's name was Mira, huh? Well that's one step forward in getting to know each other. And apparently this place was called the "Other Side". Well that sounded kinda lame. Then again, something like "Mirror World" or "Reverse World" didn't sound much better. And something cool like "The Shadow Realm" or "The Twilight Zone" were already taken. But that was besides the point. He could worry about that kind of stuff later, or if he lucky, he would get out of here and never have to worry about that again.

The other two students he didn't know introduced themselves as Hinari Daigo, and Sasaki. So now everyone knew each other's names at the very least. The two then brought up an interesting topic: Killing shadows. Sasaki managed to speak up before Genki could, saying almost exactly what he would've. Considering the group had two "Awakened" people, they should be fine right? And considering that a single attack from Mira managed to drive away that big hand thing, he felt confident in their chances.

Afterwards, Mira began to go into more detail about said awakenings and how to defeat shadows. Apparently, because none of the party had become shadows at this point that the members of the group had "The Potential". Was that supposed to be some sort of Chosen One thing? Well, that'd likely be important later. Mira also went on to say that when you awaken, you take on the form of your "Reborn Self", whatever that means. So Hoshino saw himself as some sort of demon or imp, and the cat apparently saw herself as a human? This was all sorts of weird.

But then Mira suggested that the group move on ahead. Safety in numbers and all that. There looked to be only one way forward, down some kind of hallway. Mira motioned the group forward, and away they went. The hallway seemed mostly barren, the only real exception being windows on the walls. All that could be seen outside was some sort of endless redness. Freaky. Genki silently wondered if there was a bottom. Or if there was anything at all out there. Were they just in a big box, floating in the aether? Well, it didn't really matter, but the distraction helped ease his mind.

Eventually, the group arrived at what looked like a giant red curtain. The hell? That seemed a little random. Mira seemed to know about this though. She said that the shadow hadn't formed a dungeon yet. A dungeon? Like... a video game dungeon? Filled with traps, enemies, treasures and puzzles that are there for whatever vague reason? How was a big hand supposed to make all of that? Maybe there were more hands around here...

As if on cue, Mira mentioned a "Welcoming Party" as she raised a hand and looked around. Following suit, Genki turned around, looking for the danger. His eyes fell on two large balls of goop that had fallen from the ceiling. Genki watched in confusion as the two spheres began levitating and taking a more definite shape, eventually settling on a black and white stripped orb with a comically large tongue and pair of lips. Genki sighed, saying "First hands and now mouths? What's next, feet demons?" There was a thud near him as he watched Daigo fall to the ground in, presumably, fear.

Deciding to stay back and let those who could actually kill these things do their jobs, Genki watched as Hoshino pulled a sword out of seemingly nowhere and charged forward with it. He then heard mumbling next to him. It was Daigo. He didn't look so good. He also seemed to be holding something. Darting his eyes back and forth between Daigo and the two shadows, he suddenly was met with a blue flash from his side. Closing his eyes instinctively, and opening them when the light had died, he looked on to see that Daigo had changed. Some sort of beetle-man stood behind him, and he was now wearing some old timey samurai armor.

Before Genki could even get a word out, a ray of light flew out from between the horns of the beetle-man, absolutely annihilating the mouth orb thing. Genki stood dumbstruck at the new Daigo. That was cool as hell! Was that the Awakening thing Mira had them about? If so, that makes three of them, further improving the chances they'd make it out of here alive. But was the danger over? Were there more shadows? Genki looked around frantically for more danger.

April 10th. Whereabouts unknown.


That was... a lot to take in. So, first off, there was only one way out of here: the mirror behind him. Problem is, it's out of commission right now, and the only way to get it back up and running was to kill the "Shadow" blocking it. Presumably that big hand thing was said Shadow, but considering all four of them only seemed to just slow it down, then the cat lady was right: it would just be suicide.

Secondly, there was the talk of "Awakened" and "Corrupted" people. Apparently, devil boy was Awakened, and so was the cat lady. Apparently you could transform and you get a personal ghost thing. Well, he didn't have anything like that, and he looked exactly the same, so... was he Corrupted? He's never encountered anything like this before, so he couldn't be Corrupted, right. Or at least, he didn't think so. Then again, there was that strange sense of familiarity with those butterflies.

Then the cat woman began talking to Hoshino again. She said something about signing a contract. A contract... Genki's eyes wandered down to the ground as he thought and muttered to himself. "Contract. That sounds familiar. Did... did I sign one of those recently?" he wracked his brain trying to think of anything like that, but only that strange sense of familiarity remained. Maybe if he had more to go on.

As he lifted his head, the cat lady and Hoshino were arguing again. He seemed surprised that he now possessed a tail and a pair of horns. He also seemed pretty angry about the whole "responsibility" thing. He also apparently saved the cat woman at one point a few days ago. Speaking, or rather, thinking, of the cat lady. There wasn't really a whole lot he knew about her. Just that she apparently knew Hoshino, had a magic ghost lady, and could apparently turn into a cat.

Once Hoshino had finished speaking, Genki decided to interject once more. "You know, cat lady, just who are you anyways? What's your name, and... where exactly are we?" Genki pondered for a brief second, before realizing he basically knew nothing about these people. He thought he recognized them as classmates, but he didn't really know much about them. "Actually, if we're going to be stuck here together, we should probably get to know each other a little better. I know you're my classmates, but that's about it. My name is Mori, Genki, though I usually go by Genki."

April 10th, Whereabouts unknown.



What was up with this hand? Four high schoolers could only slow it down, and the hits from the redhead and the green haired girl seemed to have no effect on it. The black hands continued pulling with no signs of stopping. Trying desperately to think of an idea that could stop this thing, he considered his surroundings. Or, at least he would have, if he had the time. Without warning, the black hand reared up, and yanked all four of the students into the blackened mirror.

At first, there was only a black nothingness, but that soon gave way as the four tumbled into another room. The room seemed devoid of anything, except for what looked like a path forward into the unknown. He noticed the black hands still had a grip on his fellow student, but seemed to have stopped dragging them all for now.

Just then, a flash of blue caught his attention, and as he looked over towards it, he could see what looked like blue fire, albeit only for a second. In its place stood a blonde woman with cat ears. The hell was this? Before his brain could even begin to process his surroundings, the woman shouted. Lore-something. And behind her, some sort of transparent ghost lady appeared out of seemingly nowhere, only to just as suddenly send out several icicles at the hand, which seemed to have sent it scurrying. Hoping that the danger had passed for now, Genki let go of the redhead.

Letting out a sigh, he looked to the strange woman. And just as he was about to speak, Hoshino let loose a verbal tsunami of angry words. Though there was something a little off about him now. He was dressed differently, and his eyes looked weird. Genki looked down at himself and the other two that were dragged in. They all still had their uniforms on. As the furious onslaught of verbal weapons continued, it seemed Hoshino knew this cat lady, saying things like "What part of 'I don't want to do this again' do you not understand?!" Or when she called him "Her devil".

As the conversation came to a slow, Genki decided now would be the best time to interject. "Look lady, I don't know who you are, where we're at, or what's even happening. I think some sort of explanation is in order if we're going to be staying around." His eyes flickered over towards the way they came. The mirror was still there. "Actually, hold on a second." Genki jumped up and thrust his hand on the glass. It didn't feel like glass anymore. It felt like... gritty stone. Nothing seemed to happen. "Damn." He turned back around, defeated. Looks like his adventure into wonderland was just getting started. A cat turning into a lady, magic ice ghosts, a big hand thing, and an interdimensional mirror. This was all just... some sort of fever dream. Somebody put psychedelics in his food or something, it was the only way his brain could make any sense of this.

The girl behind Genki had a point. Staying here would likely result in some sort of trouble, but in his mind it was totally worth it. Though the chewing out he'd get would probably come from her, not the principal. Then, he noticed something strange. The cat holding the shoes put one of its paws on the mirror, and seemed to absorb one of the butterflies, and the soft blue glow from the mirror looked eerily familiar. Just like the butterflies. Then, everything went pear-shaped.

The mirror suddenly turned dark, and something began to come out of the mirror. A black, amorphous blob began to reach out, eventually taking the form of a hand. Genki stood dumbfounded. Was this one of those American prank shows? Were these three in on it? Was the cat in on it? No, it couldn't be. This was too real. And before he could continue the thought, the hand suddenly jumped forward, with extra hands splitting off from it, and wrapping itself around the redhead's leg, pulling him forward before he had time to react.

Hoshino seemed to have some sort of idea of what was going on, as he yelled some kind of warning earlier, which Genki was a little too stunned to hear. He then watched as he dove for the redheaded boy's outstretched hand. But that didn't seem to slow down the hand. Well, if one couldn't do it, how about two?

Genki took off towards the two boys, the occasional piece of glass crunching under his shoes. He lunged forward and grabbed at the other flailing hand of the boy being dragged. He pulled with all his might, trying to slow down the hands, but there wasn't much he could do besides add more weight. The waxed gym floors didn't offer much in the way friction. He looked towards the other boy, Hoshino, or at least, Genki hoped that was his name. "Any idea what to do next? If we keep pulling, will it stop? Do we need more weight?" He looked to where the green-haired girl was. Would she be enough?

As he observed the cat more closely, it almost seemed like it knew the boy it was rubbing up against. Maybe it wasn't as stray as he originally thought. Either that, or this kid was exceptionally good with cats. Upon further inspection to the small group that had gathered around, he recognized the two boys, and a third girl who had begun approaching. They were his classmates. He hadn't exactly been able to put names to faces, but he heard a "Hoshino-san" from the girl, presumably Hoshino was the one the cat was rubbing up to.

Now that the novelty of a cat had begun to wear off, Genki remembered that he needed to finish up those posters. He was about to say something, when this supposed Hoshino began muttering to the cat. He sounded... angry. He even had a grip on the cat's head. Guess he must not like cats after all. Or maybe he found cat shit in one of his shoes. That'd piss just about anyone off.

Well, whatever. It was time to get back to work. Or at least it would've been, if he hadn't heard a shout and a brush at his leg. He turned to see the cat had taken off towards the gym, tugging a pair of shoes behind it. Were those...

Before he could finish the thought, Hoshino had taken off towards the cat. Yep, those were his shoes. Though it left one behind as it ran past the gym doors. Running through a gym full of broken glass didn't exactly seem like the best idea, but Hoshino and the redhead took off anyways. As funny as it would be to watch them go traipsing around a gym full of shattered mirrors, Genki decided it would be better to just put the rest of the posters up and head home.

Yet out of the corner of his eye he spotted something blue moving about in the air. It was a butterfly. That's strange. First a cat and now a butterfly? What else was in there, a monkey? Although, he couldn't help be feel a little strange upon seeing the butterfly. Nobody else seemed to care about it, or, at least nobody he could see. It also felt like he'd seen this butterfly before. But where? It was on the tip of his metaphorical tongue, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen it.

Not a moment later, the butterfly returned to the gym, almost as if it was on a predetermined path. Well, this certainly piqued his interest. What other zoological wonder were inside of said gym? Surely just a quick look couldn't hurt.

Heading to the gym doors, he stepped inside and looked around. Yeah, there were certainly a bunch of broken mirrors in there. And Hoshino harassing the cat, though at this point it was pretty deserved. He also noticed that there were now two Butterflies, not just the one. And the air felt... strangely cold, like the AC was on full blast, but only in this room. He heard a voice beside him. It was the redheaded boy. Something about getting in trouble. "Given the fact that a cat stole someone's shoe, we could probably get away with just saying we were playing the good samaritan in helping get our fellow student's possession back. Besides, getting chewed out is totally worth watching this guy dance around after a cat."
April 10th. Speaking with: @Scribe of Thoth @Asura



Genki snapped back to reality as the bells began to toll, signaling the end of the day. Was it really over already? He guessed that when your brain is set on autopilot for a mostly monotonous lecture, it was bound to happen. It was only the second day after all. Nothing quite so special yet. But what was special was the apparent rainstorm. After the students funneled out of the classroom, he stepped over to the window to look outside. Yep, those were some full-looking rainclouds, there. At least it was just a rainstorm and not a full on thunderstorm. A little rain never hurt, but galeforce winds and lightning strikes certainly could.

As he exited the room and headed down the hall towards the stairs, Genki suddenly remembered the Cooking Club. They had apparently canceled today due to the weather, but Genki wasn't even sure they had enough members yet. He then remembered the posters, and how there were very few on the first floor. Maybe he should talk to Linda about that.

No longer dreading the flight of stairs, Genki's ascent was significantly less dramatic and tiring. Upon reaching the top, he looked for the room to the club, which, thankfully, had the door open, and the various cooking equipment was on full display, allowing for easy identification. He could just see Linda behind the frame of the door. She appeared to be holding several papers.

From the short conversation he had with her, apparently she found out the hard way yesterday that the first was nearly bereft of posters, and the second floor wasn't too well off either. Eventually Genki decided it would make a good impression if he were to help out, and he offered to get the first floor and she could get the second floor. Linda accepted quickly, and handed him half a dozen posters. Now to make the trip back down.

Fortunately, going down the stairs isn't nearly as difficult as going up them. He then remembered something about the gym. It had been closed off, and people started making dumb rumors like a ghost was haunting the place, or they had trapped a cat in there. Who traps a cat in a gymnasium? The thing would probably get itself killed. From what he had heard, a bunch of mirrors broke in there and they were waiting for a cleaning crew to come clean it up professionally. That certainly sounded the most realistic, but why did they have a bunch of mirrors in there in the first place? Whatever.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, he took an immediate left, towards a few of the other posters, found a nice blank space, and slapped a poster on the wall, next to the others, but just far enough to make it stand out. He continued down the hall to the very end, looking for some prime real estate for a poster. Finding another open spot, he stuck another poster on the wall. Two down, four to go. He turned around and headed towards the opposite end of the hall.

Upon reaching the center of the hall, near the stairs and lockers. And the gym. As he turned towards the locker, he quickly realized there was little space for a poster there. But he also saw two boys playing with something. The short redheaded boy seemed to be playing with something moving, while the boy in the hoodie watched. Upon moving closer, a loud meow revealed the thing there were messing with was a cat! "Oh shit, a cat. Did they really have one in the gym?" Genki set the four remaining posters on top of the lockers for the moment. And stepped over to the cat and the boys. He looked down at the cat. "You think it belongs to someone? I don't see a collar, but I don't know many cats that like wearing one."

Three days a week, starting on Tuesdays. Well that certainly seemed like a good enough deal to him. Learn to cook and get out of housework? Not to mention the supposed free food. Hopefully their first dish would be something simple like egg-fried rice. Mmm... egg-fried rice... Genki blinked twice as he suddenly snapped back to reality, realizing he didn't quite hear the ending of Linda's statement. But, being too afraid to ask what she said, Genki simply said "Got it." Genki raised his hand, making an "OK" sign with his fingers. "I'll see you later, then! Gotta get home and help out aroundthe house." and with a wave headed out the door. They both seemed nice enough. Maybe this would be better than he thought.

As Genki walked down the third floor halls, he reminded himself to look for recruitment posters. The third floor had plenty, just as many as anyone else's club. On the second floor, after a quick scout, revealed more, but less than there were upstairs, getting somewhat overshadowed by the other posters. And on the first floor, there were even less, once more being overshadowed. Guess they ran short on paper. Oh well. Maybe he'd mention something about it to Linda tomorrow. Swapping out his shoes at the entrance, he began tge walk home.

The walk home was as uneventful as it was short, and before he knew it, he found himself back at his grandparents house. The front door swung open on surprisingly well oiled hinges, something his grandfather was responsible for. He had always hated squeaky doors for some reason or another. At first, Genki was greeted only by his grandmother, who quickly revealed that his grandfather had gone out to get batteries for the smoke alarm. "Wait we have a smoke alarm? Since when?" Genki's grandmother laughed as she pointed to a spot above the cupboards, hidden out of plain view, to several wires sticking out of the wall, where tge smoke alarm was once attached. Apparently they had it for years. It was certainly news to him.

They both sat on the couch as Genki was asked to explain his first day. There wasn't too much that was special, other than the new auditorium and him joining the Cooking Club. He did his best to try to make the story somewhat interesting, though he began to think that his grandmother was merely asking out of politeness. A little awkward, but it wasn't anything unusual.

At last Genki's grandfather came through the door, clutching a half-eaten dorayaki and a case of batteries. Great, now Genki was hungry for dorayaki. Maybe they'd learn how to make them in the club? His grandfather would surely appreciate that. But, at the request of his grandfather, Genki would then go to help replace tge batteries of the smoke alarms hidden throughout the house. He had to say, some of then were hidden fairly well. Just out if sight, but easily accessible if you needed to get to it.

The rest of the day went by like many others. A couple of around-the-house chores, and a little TV in the living room quickly led to dinner time, which then transitioned to night, and eventually, bedtime. Going to sleep at ten was a lite earlier than Genki was used to, but he also needed to get up a little earlier too. Genki sighed as he crawled into bed thinking about tomorrow. Things were just getting started, and he had quite the journey ahead. Not only would he have to survive another school year, he'd have to do after school stuff as well. Though at least that part had the potential to be fun. At least Golden Week wasn't too far away. Genki then closed his eyes and let sleep take him.

So most of the club members were third years huh? Guess that made some sense. Just go to the club that's on the same floor, rather than run around the school. And it looked like there weren't too many participants for the club yet, but it was only the first day. "Well, hey, it's only the first day, I'm sure there'll be more people here soon. So anyways, Linda, what days are we meeting up on? I usually don't have too much going on, so I should be here most days."

Genki's eyes darted over to the only other person in the room as he talked. Kaito. He looked a little like himself. Granted, you could find a lot of brown haired boys that looked a little like him, Genki thought. He didn't exactly stand out. Another thing Genki noticed is that he looked almost... tired? Or he had some sort of freaky eyeliner going on. But to each his own, he supposed. He certainly wasn't the strongest looking person he'd ever seen.

Then there was Rin, er, Linda. She seemed nice enough, and seemed to enjoy what she was doing. Or rather, going to be doing. While Genki certainly had the thought to give a once-over of her appearance, he decided that would likely make a poor first impression. Though he'd have to say, she'd probably be able to rock a pair of vanity specs. Just seems like she would look better with glasses. Of course, he'd never say that out loud.

As his words winded down, during his second talking to with Linda, another thought crossed his mind: recruitment posters. He had seen several in the halls, but none of them seemed to be for the Cooking Club. Either his new associate Kaito really did forget to put them up, or they weren't very attention grabbing. He'd have to pay more attention on his way out for the posters, and maybe say something tomorrow if there was a lack of them.

Just as he finished speaking, he opened his mouth once more. "Oh! One more thing, how long does this last? My grandparents don't want me out too late. I guess they're afraid I'll join a gang or something. Either that or I'll eat without them." The gang part he'd never do, but as for eating without them, weeeelllll... There's a really nice takoyaki stall that comes around sometimes. He could certainly be convinced.
