Start of #Youkai buffer: Mon Mar 23 21:28:41 2009 [18:23:20] [Thursday. The clouds look a little thick today, and the fall chill is starting to set in a little. School has not yet started.] [18:23:23] [Session Start] [18:26:27] [You're on your way to school. Or at it. Kale's here today.] [18:27:16] * Berny strolls along, swinging her bag. As usual, she looks over her shoulder occasionally and looks around as if expecting something frightening to pop out at any minute. [18:27:24] * Kale is indeed at school. [18:28:25] * Kentaro is heading into school, his uniform jacket zipped up. He pauses to clean his glasses with his sleeve, then heads up to class [18:28:40] * Berny heads straight for class, but when she hits the school courtyard, she glances around for any unusual signs like the previous day's white fox. [18:31:09] * Berny doesn't find anything out of the ordinary. [18:32:21] * Kale runs a hand back through his hair and yawns. He leans against the wall of the school building, tapping his baseball bat in the dust. He looks tired. [18:32:22] * Berny heads up to her classroom and sits down in her usual seat. [18:32:33] * You all get to class without incident. Students chat idly while they wait for the teacher to get here. [18:33:58] * Kale's here! [18:34:39] * Kale is tired at his desk, instead. [18:35:31] * Berny waves timidly at Kale when she sees him. "[Hi, Kale. Glad you made it today. Um, were you sick? ... I mean, are you okay?]" [18:36:23] * Kentaro blinks at Kale. "Hey, man, how's it going?" [18:37:32] * Berny turns and waves at Kentaro with a small smile. [18:37:56] * Kale rests his chin on his arms and nods, ["Yeah, absolutely. Late nights, though. I like to watch the spring training games back in the states, and so, I uh, don't get much sleep..."] He rubs his face and smiles blearily at Kentaro, "Mornin'." [18:41:59] [Oh...I see. Well, um, glad you're back and all that.] [18:47:36] [Class passes uneventfully. Soon, it's time to eat] [18:53:02] [The cafeteria's serving yakisoba today, in addition to the usual offerings of onigiri and breads.] [18:55:12] * Kentaro gets a meal from the cafeteria for once, but pulls out his lunchbox when he returns, sprinkling bits of tempura batter from his lunchbox into the yakisoba [18:56:27] * Berny has her usual lunch: the same veggie-cheese sandwich on wheat, the same multigrain crackers, fruit, and juice. [19:02:51] So, everyone excited to go to the field today? [19:03:12] * Berny nods mutely and swallows a mouthful of chewed sandwich. [19:03:34] I guess so. [19:06:50] * Daisuke walks up. "Hi everyone." [19:08:39] Hey, Daisuke! [19:08:59] * Berny waves at Daisuke. "Hi." [19:10:54] * He takes a seat and starts eating. "Hey, senpai... what are you all doing today after school?" [19:11:54] We were going to take a trip out to the farms outside town. [19:12:51] * Daisuke nods. "Are those far? I think I'll probably spend time at club today." [19:13:23] You sure you don't want to come along? [19:13:44] * Berny looks up over her food. "It's to do with the cucumbers and veggies." [19:15:27] I'm not sure, I'll have to think... this reminds me, on the way to school, there's a florist's shop. They've got signs saying they'll be closing down... you think it might be related?" [19:16:00] Maybe...they're all plants. [19:18:19] Oh no! That's terrible [19:19:33] Yeah. Maybe they'll be able to reopen sometime, but ... well, the weather's getting colder. Maybe that might be it... ? [19:27:20] Oh yeah... I also heard there was a bunch of fighting after school. Did you hear about it? [19:28:30] What, a bunch? I heard that Megumi was gonna get into a fight... [19:29:11] What, Megumi? [19:29:15] * He looks around for her. [19:32:14] Well... some of the toughest guys in school just started hitting each other... though not all together. It was like... different pairs all over the school. [19:32:41] ...Huh, [19:33:23] I heard the class rep's really pissed off. [19:34:00] * Kentaro thinks for a brief period of time, then begins whistling innocently [19:35:21] I don't know how he'll deal with it, though. There were a couple guys from other schools too, like Enatsu High. * Retrieving #Youkai modes... [19:38:12] Enatsu? Really? Wow [19:41:03] Yeah... isn't that weird? [19:44:32] * Kentaro nods. "Yeah. I have no idea how that might have happened. And even if I did, I wouldn't tell anyone." [20:07:04] Uh... okay. Was there anything else really weird going on? Maybe we should keep track of these things... investigate, you know, get a list of mysteries about the school. [20:08:21] Aside from the white fox, the dying plants, the spontaneous fights, the walls in the old field building watching you, and Toilet Hanako, we don't really have many mysteries. [20:09:44] ... walls? Toilet Hanako? [20:12:00] Oh, it's nothing to be worried about. Don't sleep in the rooms with busted old screens, and don't go in the girls' bathrooms [20:12:31] * Daisuke nods. "Got it. ... what about the girls that go to the girls' bathrooms?" [20:17:52] Umm. I sorta have to go into the girls' bathrooms, at least once in a while. [20:18:03] So...maybe I should know about this Toilet Hanako. [20:21:16] Oh. She's just a dead girl who haunts a toilet. [20:21:25] * Berny gulps. [20:21:31] What kind of dead girl? [20:21:37] Maybe her mother was jealous of her beauty so she chased her there and killed her. [20:21:53] Maybe she was spurned by the boy she confessed to, so she slit her wrists in the sink [20:21:56] * Daisuke pales. [20:21:58] Maybe she fell in and drowned. [20:22:01] It is a mystery. [20:22:28] * Kentaro raises his arms to stick out to the sides to indicate the mysteriousness of it [20:22:40] * Berny gulps again. [20:23:03] ...you know, maybe I should just hold it while I'm at school. [20:25:34] That sounds really spooky... [20:26:02] She's alright. [20:27:13] * Berny looks up from her meal. "You've seen her, Kentaro?" [20:28:59] Oh, yeah. My first year, I went through a pretty big thing of using the girl's bathrooms because the guys bathrooms were sort of bad, so I got to know her. [20:29:42] D-didn't you ever get caught? [20:30:29] * Kentaro smiles, sheepishly. "I don't really get caught for things." [20:31:58] How? [20:33:17] It's a secret. [20:34:03] I thought you'd say that. [20:34:14] I guess if you say she's okay. [20:34:31] * Berny relaxes visibly. In fact, she looks slightly more relaxed than she has all day. [20:36:26] I guess I don't have to worry about that, then. [20:39:34] By the way... I never really got the chance to get a real detailed answer, but who ARE the Redscarves? [20:40:32] Best I can tell from the couple days here at school is that they're all girls and they're all loaded. [20:41:04] That's about the best you're probably going to figure out. [20:41:55] They're a bunch of rich girls who have a few small cliques, and the clique leaders don't like each other too much, sometimes [20:42:58] So there's Redscarves that hate each other? [20:44:25] * Kentaro shrugs. "I don't pay much attention to their drama. All I know is that when I hang out with Shizuru sometimes she likes the other redscarves and sometimes she just complains about them constantly." [20:45:56] Shizuru doesn't seem so bad. [20:46:04] Yeah, she seemed nice to you, at least. [20:46:42] Do you think she has a boyfriend? [20:49:26] I think she's in a relationship. [20:49:45] * Berny raises a curious eyebrow at Daisuke, but she doesn't say anything. [20:50:30] Oh, good for her. I'm sure she'll make him real happy. [20:54:38] * Kentaro shrugs [20:57:56] Any other weird groups here I should know about? [20:58:31] * Yon is now known as Megumi [20:59:34] There are a few weird kids, but really, the redscarves are the only ones that band together really tightly that I've noticed [21:00:55] * Berny nods as she sips her juice. [21:04:51] * Megumi walks into the cafeteria, late to eat for once, and looks around for her usual table. [21:05:06] * She finds it. Everyone's alreadythere. [21:05:21] * Berny waves at Megumi. [21:06:22] * Megumi heads over and takes a seat. "Hey!" She seems unusually cheerful. [21:07:10] Hi Megumi. [21:07:57] I miss anything? [21:08:42] Kentaro was talking about Hanako. [21:09:24] Who? [21:10:36] Oh, a toilet ghost. [21:12:03] Toilet... you know what, never mind. [21:14:04] We were also talking about the red scarves... and there was some fighting yesterday. It was weird. [21:14:34] * Megumi perks up. "Fighting? Where?!" [21:15:51] Yesterday, a bunch of the toughest guys around school started hitting each other, I dunno why. But they werne't all in one group. They were separated and off in pairs. [21:17:10] Aw, MAN. How did I miss something like that!? [21:17:28] * Berny looks at Megumi. "Oh, so it had nothing to do with your, well, that invitation you got?" [21:20:09] Nope, that's not until the weekend. [21:21:44] That's weird... [21:22:11] [The end of lunch approaches] [21:22:43] * Daisuke finishes his lunch. [21:25:59] * Berny finishes her juice and packs away everything. [21:26:50] * Kentaro finishes his yakisoba and packs his stuff away [21:27:53] * Megumi gulps the rest of her lunch down and gets to her feet. [21:28:10] [You head back to class.] [21:28:15] [Session End] End of #Youkai buffer Mon Mar 23 21:28:41 2009
