The World of Wasted Dreams

I agree that the lyrics fit well.
Sadly, I can't say I feel the same way about the music itself... It feels a bit too upbeat and fast-paced/peppy(?) for a Horror Anime. :P

Then again, I'm a sucker for the OPs of things like Elfen Lied, Gokoku no Brynhildr, Corpse Party, Higurashi, etc.

Gah, double-post

We have so many suicidal pigeons people this early on... You guys aren't making it easy for us to keep you alive.... ;3

The World of Wasted Dreams

And here we go, Shiori's relations with the current class.
Please notify me if you wish to change your current relation in any way. :)

Relationships

Shizune Yoshida: The transfer student's mysterious and uncanny aura piqued the interest of the POIR-prez from the moment she entered their classroom. Finding and realizing that Shizune also had a demeanor and somewhat similar personality to her own, Shiori easily took a liking to the girl and, on the first day they met, offered her a spot in her club - even though Shizune politely declined. Undaunted and fueled by the feeling that they're kindred spirits, Shiori is not put off by the creepy aura this new girl exudes, but rather finds herself intrigued by her. She considers Shizune to be a newly acquired friend, even though she somehow feels like they've known each other, or met, from before...
Relation Summary: Friend, subject of interest.

Akane Kabetake: Akane's motherly and helpful personality is a good, positive influence on the class - in Shiori's eyes at least. There are far too many people her own age who don't care or worry about others, so it's refreshing to see someone with these values. That said, she can sometimes also be a bit nosy and tends to needlessly concern herself about how people are feeling, without paying attention to herself. Concern for others is a fine thing, but disregarding or ignoring yourself isn't good. Shiori doesn't engage or try to deepen their relationship though, she's content to keep Akane as a pleasant, friendly classmate and acquaitance - possibly because she has, at a few discreet times, witness Akane's other, less ... charming ... side.
Relation Summary: Classmate in the positive spectrum.

Audrey Ordoñez: While Audrey shares some traits with Shiori and Shizune, she has a major difference - she consciously isolates herself from others and retains a dispassionate appearance and attitude to everyone around her. Also being from a different country and culture, Shiori reasons that the girl is having a hard time adjusting and getting used to things, but as the girl is quite negative and pessemistic about just everything, she hasn't felt compelled to try and help. After all, if people don't put in any effort themselves, then they can't be helped. However, that being said, Shiori doesn't dislike or resent Audrey, she just hopes the girl will wise up and realise that you can't sit around and wait for things to come to you - you have to stand up and try to grab them yourself.
Relation Summary: Classmate, neutral spectrum.

Aito Shiba: What to be said about Aito? If he wasn't a member of the POIR, Shiori would find him an insufferable buffoon with no redeeming qualities or traits what so ever, and indeed this was her impresion of him before the POIR was founded and he subsequently joined it. Still, after seeing how he - at rare times - could dedicate himself to his own research and be serious about something for a change, her opinion of him has slightly improved, but only miniscule. He is still rude, arrogant, annoying and - even if he does research - narrowminded and wasteful. She quickly realized that Aito wasn't as dumb as the scores of his tests would imply, and is annoyed at him for letting his mind go to waste - a complete opposite of herself, who tries her best. Still, he is a club-member who shows up and, occassionally, does some work - but she more tolerates him and his personality because he's a member of her club, rather than actually liking him.
Relation Summary: Club-member, falls in the negative spectrum.

Shiori Mizuhana: Sadly, selfcest does not work.

Reiko Nagatani: Shiori finds Reiko to be a destructive and negative influence on the class. and school. She is a loud, boisterous girl who is rowdy, has a reputation as a trouble-child, doesn't do well on tests, sleeps in class and tries to solve problems - like bullying - by using force and violence, the very thing that the matter thrives on. If you were to ask Shiori how she would sum up Reiko, she would probably go with: Unstable rabid dog, or perhaps; Noisy eyesore. Still, she understands that Reiko isn't trying to fuel the flames by beating up bulliies, and that her bad rep as a delinquent is from long ago, but the girl just chafes Shiori the wrong way - perhaps it's their different and opposing personalities? Whatever the case, in Shiori's eyes, Reiko has a few good traits which, sadly, do not weigh up all of her bad sides and habits.
Relation Summmary: Classmate, very negative part of the spectrum.

Shinobu Resan A sweet and friendly girl who is oddly open and forth-coming with her likes and hobbies. How could you dislike a person like that? The answer? You can't. Shiori is no exception. She finds Shinobu a very pleasant and nice person, though a bit too bubbly and girly at times. Her wide range of hobbies also boggles the mind of the POIR prez and she sometimes wonders if Shinobu just does things to get attention... Though, that seems unlikely, since she's a bit of an airheaded ditz who seems far too nice and innocent to be that calculating. She has, at times, helped the green-haired muffler-wearer with homework and problems, and views the girl in a good light. Still, their tastes and hobbies are very different and Shinobu is a bit too energetic and bouncy to be someone who Shiori could spend large amounts of time with. Still, she likes the girl nontheless and considers her a friend.
Relation Summary: Friendly classmate, viewed very positively.

Too bad Shiori is a light-weight, otherwise she could've maybe carried Shino or Audrey on her back in order to escape, but alas~ Her slim physique does not lend itself well to manual labor! ;<

I'll hold off on posting and see what the rest of ya do. As stated, we don't want any premature deaths. ^^

Dangit, UnendingShire! I wanted a detailed description of Reiko's thoughts on Shiori! xD
Now I feel like biting at the corner of a pillow just because I was excited to see what she'd think, only to find a "Lol, troll'd bro!" line in there! *laughs*
