Session Start: Thu Nov 18 17:31:04 2010 Session Ident: #MG 03[17:31:04] * Now talking in #MG 03[17:31:29] * CharlesLaptron is now known as Emily 01[17:36:38] [Two weeks ago, on the day that school started, it was said that a fairy appeared on the roof.] 01[17:37:26] [Naturally, this is nonsense, like the foreign ghost that wanders the town, or the newspaper machine that prints tomorrow's news.] 01[17:39:36] [We begin this morning.] 01[17:40:36] [Session Start] 01[17:41:42] * Emily's scene 06[17:44:27] * Emily begins the morning as she's begun every morning recently, with the next day's news and a proper english breakfast. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched a brass-rimmed block by block layout of Tokyo that keeps track of the sentry wards she'd set up around the city over the last few weeks. Life has been busy, but not particularly exciting. [17:45:57] * The news dispenser is only said to have anywhere from one to five copies of the next day's news each day, so it was obtained rather early. 01[17:47:35] * Being the next day's news, it really only reports on today. Nothing of particular note stands out, except for a rather curious headline on the local news section... 01[17:48:45] * Elsewhere, a smaller girl named Mika shows a newspaper to one Momoko. 01[17:49:13] Um... is this some kind of prank or something? It says our school's going to disappear. [17:49:45] "Oh? Does it say how?" 01[17:51:27] * Mika shakes her head. "It just vanishes into thin air at 8 PM, sharp." [17:53:08] "Hmmm, then....perhaps we could watch" [17:53:49] "Maybe bring a camera to document as well" 01[17:54:15] Shouldn't... someone do something about it? [17:54:43] "We could tell the authorities but....would they believe?" 01[17:55:36] Probably not... [17:56:34] "Then it is up to us to watch and record. Perhaps also gather as many people to observe as possible as well" 01[17:57:02] I guess so. 01[17:57:20] I guess I should let Suzu know... 01[17:57:42] * She takes out her cell phone, hesitates a little, then dials Suzu's number. 01[17:58:09] * Suzu is in her nice warm bed, when her slumber is disrupted by a ring tone. 06[18:00:42] * Suzu groans a bit as she's jarred awake and fumbles around for her phone with one hand and her glasses with the other. Finally retrieving both, she frowns slightly when she sees the name on the caller ID. She composes herself and answers the phone, trying not to sound too groggy. "Hello?" 01[18:03:09] * Mika blinks, notiing Suzu's voice, nd her priorities shift. "Hey, Suzu, class is going to be starting soon. You wouldn't want to be late..." 06[18:08:57] * Suzu glances over at her clock in surprise. "Huh? How'd...I mean, I know what time it is. Why would I be late?" Sounding ever so slightly displeased, she adds "I don't really need a wakeup call. I'll see you at school." With that, she hangs up her phone and rushes to get ready, muttering darkly about contact lenses as she does. 06[18:14:50] * Momoko is a short Japanese girl with black hair and brown eyes dressed in her school's uniform. Currently the only thing really unique about her is a pink hairband on her head 01[18:15:05] * On her rush to school, Suzu hears foot steps behind her. An athletic girl with short red hair rushes up to her, passing her, then slows down a little and lets her catch up. She looks over and grins, waving her hand. "Yo." 06[18:20:30] * Suzu blinks. "Hello. ...Natsumi, right?" 01[18:21:08] Yeah! HEya! Don't think I've seen you on my morning jog before." 01[18:23:34] You usually off earlier? 06[18:24:01] * Suzu is a short girl with pale purple hair that doesn't quite reach her shoulders and amber eyes. As she's out in public, she's wearing contact lenses rather than glasses. "Usually, yes. I guess I overslept a bit." 01[18:25:26] Huh. Gonna keep it up here? Good chance for a little exercise in the morning. 06[18:29:47] * Suzu smiles slightly. "Go ahead. I don't really feel like running so early in the morning." She does, however, start walking a bit faster. 01[18:30:31] Ah, sure. Well, I'll see you around! [18:32:27] Enjoy your run. 01[18:32:41] * SHe jogs on forward. 01[18:32:58] Later Suzu! 06[18:35:59] * Suzu starts walking MUCH quicker as soon as Natsumi is out of sight, though not quite to the point of jogging herself. 01[18:38:19] * On the way, Suzu spots Emily, a strange girl. Is that the weird foreign ghost those rumors have been talking about? 06[18:39:57] * Suzu blinks, slowing down, as she spots the unfamiliar girl. 06[18:41:46] * Emily is a foreign girl dressed in a black Victorian gown and corset, tall and long-limbed with straight black hair tied back in a bun, silver and brass jewelry heavy on her ears, neck and fingers. Her skin is deathly pale, and she walks slowly across the school grounds, looking around inquisitively. 06[18:48:12] * Suzu watches the girl for a while, having apparently forgotten that she's late for school. She starts to follow her, cautiously, though she tries her best not to be too obvious about it. 06[18:51:53] * Emily either doesn't notice Suzu or pays her little heed as she walks across the courtyard and suddenly ducks, balancing on the balls of her feet as she produces a stick of chalk and begins drawing a circle on the ground. [18:54:43] * While waiting, Momoko sees this scene from the window. 06[18:56:20] * Momoko doubletakes then watches the strange girl. She idly wonders where she buys her clothes before noticing the circle being drawn on the ground [18:56:39] "Hey, what's she doing?" 06[18:57:29] * Suzu edges a little closer, trying to get a better look at what the girl is drawing. 06[18:59:23] * Emily pauses, then begins drawing a stylized eye in the circle, carefully stepping so as to not smudge the chalk outline. She pulls a pin from her dress and presses it against her index finger before touching the ground, marking the center of the eye with blood. Gingerly stepping away, she looks at her drawing and closes her eyes 06[19:02:35] * Suzu breathes in sharply, her eyes widening. "What is she DOING?" she mumbles. 06[19:03:09] * Momoko looks around to see if anybody else notices [19:03:24] * No one else seems to notice. 06[19:05:11] * Momoko excuses herself and goes outside 06[19:08:10] * Emily smiles, and continues on her way, holding the pricked finger to her lips as she waits for the bleeding to cease. She turns, notices Suzu, and begins walking faster. 06[19:10:51] * Suzu jumps a bit, realizing she's been spotted. "H-hey!" She frowns for a moment, considering, and then starts after Emily. 06[19:12:06] * Momoko tries to sneak after Emily without being spotted 06[19:19:03] * Emily begins rounding every corner she can, until finally reaching a dead end. She turns, adopting a blank, haunted look, and stares back at Suzu, her head lolling to one side. "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Her mouth is out of sync with her voice, which seems oddly hollow and without inflection. 06[19:19:26] * Momoko pokes her head around the corner 06[19:21:05] * Suzu stares. "Do...do I WHAT?" 06[19:24:19] * Suzu takes a step back, a bit fearfully. 06[19:24:58] * Emily stands very still, concentrating on being inconspicuous as she begins to fade from sight. [19:25:15] "Wait!" 06[19:28:07] * Emily snaps back into sharp relief and turns towards Momoko, staring blankly at her as she begins to walk slowly toward her. [19:29:19] "....Please, Miss Ghost. I mean you no harm" 06[19:31:15] * Emily stops. "What." [19:31:36] "....I've never seen a real ghost before. Oh, I've read about alot of them but this is my first time seeing one" 06[19:32:36] * Emily blinks, then regains her composure. "Congratulations." [19:33:37] "Sorry, did I offend? I mean..." clapclaps and bows 06[19:35:32] * Emily begins to fade away again, and once she's out of sight, she rushes towards the edge of the school campus where an obscured car waits to pick her up. [19:36:24] "Oh dear. I think I might have offended her" 06[19:37:39] * Momoko wanders back to school thinking to herself how to properly address a ghost if she should meet one again 06[19:38:45] * Suzu finally shakes her head, snapping out of her momentary shock, and runs after Momoko. "Hey! What...what just HAPPENED? Did you seriously just...annoy that...ghost into dissappearing?" [19:39:18] * You hear the school bell ring [19:39:25] "I don't know... I know ghosts are supposed to be skiddish and camera shy" [19:39:35] "Oh no!" 06[19:39:35] * Emily steps into her car, closes the door, and rests her head against the front seat. "Take me home, Euclid. I'm sure protocol demands that I file a report on this." 06[19:39:46] * Momoko runs back to school 06[19:41:23] * Suzu groans as she hears the bell, but before going inside, she quickly runs over to the weird circle the girl drew and snaps a picture with her phone. "A ghost? Really?" she mumbles. 06[19:45:19] * Suzu takes a deep breath, tries to calm herself, and heads to class. 06[19:46:45] * Emily groans and leans back in her seat. "Take dictation, Euclid: Colonial assignment, day one thirty two. It seems as though diminishing native suspicion through faux-spectral means may have run the fullness of its course."
