Heh....you could.

I dunno how successful he'd be. Probably would depend on her mood xP

"God dammit, shit!"

The stapler sailed right into another girl who had just walked into the room. Damn that looked like it hurt. She hoped the other girl was mostly alright - that couldn't have felt good. She still got an amazing picture of it though. Right when the stapler smacked her in the face. She'd save that for later. For now, back to Charles and Mitsuko. She definitely made the right choice in coming here to this club. These losers were comedy gold.

"I will be blunt, dog. You are here because I have use for you. The second that I decide that the detriment you provide has a higher weight than that use is the second that I break you."

...what?

"Do you understand that, dog? You are to follow my instructions to the letter, and that is final. If you step out of line and I decide that your presence isn't worth my time anymore, then I'm happy to stop playing this little game. I don't care what you do outside of my club. Cause all the chaos you want, seek revenge, start a fire, it does not matter to me. However, when you are following my instructions, in my organization, you are not to take a step out of line, or I can assure you that you will regret it. Are we clear?"

...damn, Mitsuko. Just...wow. She had not expected that girl to say something like that! Seiko laughed a bit at her behavoir - yep, still cute. She found herself definitely liking Mitsuko after that calm little outburst. Not even Makoto was spared from her little scolding.

"...as for you, I don't care how upset you get with others. If you want to resort to physical violence, then do it outside of my club. Debate, discussion, and even argument are all fine; this is a controversial club, so such things are to be expected. What I will not tolerate are showings of physical violence and vigilante justice. As this is your first offense, I won't be taking action, but keep that in mind in the future."

She stepped back to the front of the classroom before continuing. Asking if they had any more questions before showing little concern for the newcomer. Seiko was fairly certain that well, she should probably have been taken to the nurse's office or whatever. Getting hit in the face with a stapler was probably not good for ones health. She gave the newcomer a somewhat concerned look, before dismissing it. Daichi had just asked a rather interesting question, and she wasn't about to miss out on it.

So...appraisal-san was a 'magitech artifact'? Her own thoughts of that being complete and utter bullshit aside, Mitsuko had some pretty interesting ideas. Especially the idea about the 'spectral fishing rod' and 'Mr. Bear'. Seiko clicked her pen in thought, humming quietly to herself.

"Well, my own personal skepticism aside," she began. "I do have some questions, but I'll ask them later. Oh, aside from one - Mind hanging around after the club meeting, Mitsuko? I wanna get an interview with ya for my blog. I'm thinking about detailing most of the clubs activities. Someone's gotta be there to document your silly nonexistent ghosts after all, and interviewing our adorable leader seems like a good first step!"

She teased, though she didn't actually mean to offend Mitsuko with the silly nonexistent ghost part. Also, if she said no she was probably gonna end up following Mitsuko home and probably end up pestering her about it, but shush. No need to spread that around.

Will get to work on a post myself after I get some food~

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

I've created a bit of a fiasco with this stapler, haven't I >.<

@KaijuBaragon

Hmm~

I wouldn't say fiasco, I'd say just maybe whoever posts next have it clatter harmlessly towards the ground, if that's the route you wanna go with it.

<Snipped quote by AirBender>

Ah, well, it's more that I wanted a cool title for the skill that I called it "Self-Defense Mastery". I didn't mean to imply that she would be considered a master at all three styles. That would be absurd. It's my fault for labeling it as such, however. That said, I will plead ignorance to the subject of the martial arts. I don't personally have much knowledge of those things, but I found it hard to imagine that the single daughter of a hugely rich man would go without the best self-defense training money could buy, so I made sure to add something in.

As for the styles picked, I tried to go for the most straightforward items of which I knew in regards to the goal "Turn attempted attacks back onto the opponent, take advantage of openings, and end the fight quickly". I thought that Aikido was good at the defensive portion, I thought that the purpose of Krav Maga was ending a fight quickly however possible, and I thought that a general knowledge of MMA would help with holds and blending techniques.

If it's more practical and reasonable to just concentrate on one style, though, which do you think would be the best fit? I think that the biggest thing to consider is adaptability to multiple attackers, since we're assuming a kidnapping attempt as the most likely scenario. Any of the three I mentioned, or even a fourth style I may not have considered that fits the goal better. I'm open to editing.

@Octo

If I may also put in my two cents into this little discussion - and I'm not trying to offend anyone here, or claim that you're wrong, Bender - but as someone who has studied Taekwondo myself, I really don't see any problem with the character to be honest. Certainly studying more styles would take time, and while I doubt she'd be the best, I could see her being fairly decent if she was dedicated and had the time and money.

Depending on when exactly she started.

I started studying Taekwondo around...I can't exactly remember since it's been awhile - somewhere around when I was seven or eightish, I think. By the time I was fourteen or fifteen, I was well on my way to becoming a black belt. (Won a few tournaments as well) Unfortunately, due to various financial situations, I had to abandon it and am currently lacking all skill in the manner xP

While I'm not saying she'd be the best by any means, I don't see a problem with her being 'decently skilled' at all of them. She could hold her own in a fight against someone who had no idea what they were doing, but against another opponent who had trained better in one style, she'd probably get rekt. You know, just be reasonable with it and don't go overboard.

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Well, got a post up myself~

Mostly Seiko observing the situation and being...well, herself xP

It could fly at Seiko, if people want, I don't mind. just gives me an excuse to have her flirt with Makoto

but in a bit~
I've gotta go for an hour or so xP

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

~Seiko Karuta~

"I've got a question. So, let's say a person becomes a ghost because they have unfinished business, after their business has been finished... Can they rest in peace? Or is my- ...or will they be forced to roam the world forever?"

She turned her head towards the source of the voice. Makoto again. Was it just her, or did she cut herself off there? She was fairly sure she heard the word 'my' before she cut herself off....had Makoto lost someone recently? Seiko frowned slightly, before ignoring it. While she was curious, and would love to investigate...that'd be a bit, well, mean to try and pry. So she brushed it off and focused back on the president and whatever answer she was about to give.

"Well, the means by which a ghost ceases to be depends on how they became a ghost. For instance, if the soul is anchored to a physical location, damaging that location should result in the soul fading away. Alternatively, there are sources of...'spiritual damage', which can be seen as methods to 'kill' a ghost with. For your specific situation, where a soul has persisted by anchoring itself to a purpose, we can't actually be sure if that's something that can occur, or if it's just a part of legend. That said, I would imagine that if the purpose is fulfilled, the anchor would cease to exist, and the soul would appropriately dissipate; of course, that's just my conjecture."

Hmhm~

Seiko clicked her pen in thought, before scribbling a few notes down. So basic stuff, or at least anyone who had any notion of what a ghost was would be able to logically put together. No, she didn't believe in ghosts, she just had done some research for...writing. She did fancy herself a writer, after all. Mostly fantasy stuff - which probably meant a lot of her writing wasn't based in occult fact, but eh. Details details.

"Of course. This isn't an Occult Discussion Club, after all, it is an Occult Club. To that end, we will be interacting with spiritual entities rather regularly."

Ooh, on to the fun stuff, then! The leader took a phone out of a pocket...along with something else. Seiko looked at the object, fairly certain that was some...kind of phone attachment with something duct taped to the end of it. She stifled a laugh. What did...did prez lady actually think that would work? Before she could get a word in though, Mitsuko continued on, saying something about staying at the school at night.

Appraisal...san?...what, did she name that thing? Really? Seiko had to stifle another giggle, albeit somewhat poorly. She had to admit, that was just a tiny bit adorable. She was getting more and more interested in this little club. There was definitely enough material here for her to write plenty! But well, a thought for another time. Back to the thought at hand.

While others might see that as an interesting idea, it wasn't her first time sneaking about the campus at night. She had, in her various information gathering schemes, had gotten in. Most of the time she had gotten away with it too...no need to uh, tell anyone that though.

Going wouldn't really be much of a problem for her, even without the wavier. She'd be going either way, even if her parents said no. Not like they would, though. Mitsuko continued on, saying stuff about something sensing something at the school, then leading to something about a ghost appearing at the extravaganza. OOh, Halloween with ghosts.

...come to think of it, this would be the perfect time to play a harmless little prank on these guys. Maybe she would....heh~

Before she could say anything further, though, the fight that had been happening earlier had finally escalated once again. Seiko immediately turned her head towards the three arguing parties.

"Don't you get it, you pathetic waste of my time? I practically run this dump of a school. The rumors that spread, I pretty much proof read them all."

He...ran this dump of a school? Seiko laughed loudly at that. Puh-lease. If there was anyone who ran it, it was her. The sway of words was ten times more effective then fear or intimidation. Well, she could run it if she wanted too. She knew how to work the rumor mill and use information to her advantage.

"The fights you hear about and sometimes see, I plan them. Being nice to me is pretty much the difference between popularity and being a complete reject. So if you think and you can come in here and insult me, then think again scarface. If you even think about replying with some 'witty' comment, you may find yourself with a few less friends, and maybe a few broken bones, you understand me? That goes for you too, lanky."

Ooh. Someone was delusional. She had half a mind to speak up herself and put this guy in his place. But no, she had to write all of this glorious content down! She'd use it to the fullest extent she could! She'd probably go home tonight and make a hilarious story about it. Charles wouldn't really like what she was doing - it was her intent to write the truth, after all, so...this was probably going to end badly for him.

"Oi, Tweedledumbass. Would you mind shutting the hell up? There are some people here who might want to listen to this thing, even if it is kinda boring. No offence. But if YOU want some broken bones I'll be happy to lend you some, you damn dog."
Ooh, a third contender introduced herself! Mura, the girl who practiced compensated dating!...old news. Well, old rumors. She hadn't confirmed it for herself yet, but that was a definite thing she was gonna do in the semi-near future. She seemed fun...and feisty. The redhead instantly liked her. Tweedledumbass? That was hilarious, and she doubted Charles would take too kindly to it. The hand that wasn't furiously scribbling on her notepad rested on the camera on her desk. She was ready to snap dozens of pictures a second as soon as someone started fighting.

And as soon as Makoto walked over to him, she started doing just that.

"Okay. I won't make a witty comeback."

Wham. She slammed her fist right into him. She wasn't familiar with biology or anything, but damn - that sounded like it hurt. A lot. Like a lot a lot. Makoto wasn't done, though. Not by a long shot. Seiko kept snapping pictures - this this! Was exactly what she craved. A huge, somewhat unsettling grin was plastered on her face as she continued to take pictures and notes.

"You think you can intimidate me? Nothing scares me, especially not little punks like yourself. Go ahead, turn everyone against me, try and get people to attack me. I don't care, whatever you throw at me, I'll throw right back in your face ten times harder. Soon You'll learn to fear a name, and that's Captain America."

With that, she walked back over to her seat, and Seiko stopped the picture taking. She was - well, now that was the most fun she had in awhile! She sat back in her own seat, giving a happy-sounding sigh. Well, that was certainly good for her mood!~ She almost felt like writing a little short story, but well, later. That....name though...wasn't that some American super-hero? Kinda lame, really. He was one of the boring ones, if she was remembering right...then again, she kinda always found herself liking the bad-guys in the super-hero universes more.

"I just knocked the wind out of him, hard. So we should have a few minutes of him actually being quiet. I would apologize for the interruption, but I'm not sorry so it would be a complete lie." Seiko simply laughed. Yep, she liked Makoto. Well, unless she was the one on the receiving end of that.

It however, seemed as though Charles wasn't going to end it there.

Now, Seiko may have liked causing mischief...but throwing a stapler at someone? That was...well, that was just damn stupid. Unfortunately, she also lacked any means of trying to stop it, and could only really watch as it soared towards whatever target Charles had tried to throw it at.

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Dont worry, I got you covered. Its time for operation: Dweedledumbass!

@Vocab

And Seiko will be documenting every juicy detail~!

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Posted again! Gonna try and keep up with this. We'll see if I can manage.

I can tone down on the swearing if you guys aren't comfortable about it. It just felt appropriate.

@AirBender

Nah, I don't mind at all, especially if its within the characters disposition to do it~

Also, I think the initial post rush has already worn off a bit. That or everyone is busy xP

Yurei High: Spooks Versus Students (Ghost Hunting)

Hey, another post from me xP

Welp...now to find something to do for the rest of the night~
