Start of #Youkai buffer: Thu Oct 08 21:19:42 2009 [17:36:32] [Monday was a busy day. You went to a movie and visited [Bean Around] again after school, and learned that there might be a new shop opening up soon.] [17:36:55] [It's now Wednesday.] [17:37:26] [We pick up at lunch, where yakisoba's being served.] [17:37:30] [Session Start] [17:38:36] * Kentaro heads down to the cafeteria, bag slung over his shoulder, and begins picking at his usual lunch [17:39:37] * Berny sits at her usual seat across the table from Megumi, eating her veggie sandwich. [17:41:33] * Megumi sits down with her usual extra large helping. "'Sup?" [17:42:25] * Berny swallows a mouthful of chewed sandwich. "Just glad it's lunch. School's been boring lately. You?" [17:43:58] * Kentaro looks up from his food. "Pretty average, I guess. Kind of a relief after all that tree business." [17:44:57] * Megumi shrugs. "School's school, really." [17:46:41] * Miki strolls up to the table with her food. "Hi, Kentaro. Everyone." [17:46:59] * Berny nods. "Yeah. I used to be more interested in school, but after the tree thing, it's seemed kind of...Oh! Hi, Miki! Are you joining us for lunch today?" [17:47:14] * She nods. "Yep." [17:47:18] Hey, lady! How's it going? [17:48:13] It's going okay. Monday was fun, though I got this weird feeling, you know? [17:48:48] * Kentaro frowns slightly. "I'm not sure I follow." [17:49:00] What kind of weird feeling? [17:49:14] * Megumi blinks. "Huh?" [17:49:23] It was like... someone else was there? [17:50:10] Huh? Emmy, you mean? [17:50:47] Yeah, do you mean before everyone went away? Because, uh, I dunno [17:51:05] Or...do you mean how we accidentally came along on your first date on Monday? [17:52:01] * Miki frowns. "After, of course." [17:53:31] Oh. Well, um. It wasn't me. I went home and studied like I said I was going to... [17:56:22] * Megumi cocks her head. "I don't get it. Someone was following you on your date?" [17:57:16] Yeah, did you see who it was? [18:00:50] * Kentaro frowns. "Now that you mention it, I felt it too. I wonder who'd even do that?" [18:01:33] * Berny shakes her head. "I don't know, but isn't that awfully creepy? Some voyeur spying on your date?" [18:01:44] Yeah. Geez. [18:02:12] * Kentaro is frowning, his eyes scrunched tight as he tries to concentrate [18:02:20] * Berny gives a shudder as she finishes up her sandwich and starts on her fruit. [18:02:45] Careful or your face might stick like that. [18:03:07] * Berny giggles at Kentaro. [18:03:58] What are you thinking about, anyway? [18:04:26] Well... like... who even DOES that? That's just creepy. Creepy. [18:05:41] * Berny shrugs. "I don't -think- I know anyone who would." [18:06:30] * Megumi scowls. "That's just messed up. If you figure out who it was, want me to 'talk' to them?" [18:06:34] But I mean, I guess you never know with people. You know what the neighbors always say about those serial killers in the news. "He was such a nice guy. I would've never guessed." [18:06:55] Well, it was just a feeling. I don't think there's a reason to follow someone around like that... right? [18:08:58] * Berny shrugs again. "Well. Not to be creepy, but some people don't seem to need a reason to do weird stuff like that." [18:10:23] Yeah... [18:11:48] Well, in better news, the new people at the drama club are improving alright. [18:12:59] * Berny nods. "Did you cast everyone for your next play already?" [18:14:09] Pretty much. [18:15:51] Kentaro, have you and Megumi been practicing? [18:17:11] * Kentaro frowns. "Well, I have." [18:17:26] Um. Well. [18:18:33] Well.... ? [18:19:32] ...practice? [18:19:56] For the play... [18:20:33] * Miki facepalms. [18:24:15] * Megumi laughs a bit nervously. "I, uh, kinda forgot. ...what am I supposed to practice, anyway?" [18:24:36] Your lines, the stage directions... you know, in the packet we gave you. [18:26:25] You... have the packet... right? [18:27:33] ...I think I've got it at home somewhere. [18:28:00] Somewhere, like, where? [18:31:17] Um, well it's in my room? I think? [18:31:50] * Berny busies herself eating. [18:33:39] * Miki eats a bit. "So you'll look for it soon?" [18:34:19] * Megumi nods. [18:35:37] You'd better, funsize. [18:35:59] * Kentaro keeps frowning down into his food, idly turning pieces of meat over with his chopsticks [18:36:00] * Megumi glares at Kentaro. [18:39:45] We've got a major rehearsal pretty soon, so it'll be good if you're practiced well for then. [18:40:09] * Kentaro nods. "Yeah." [18:43:14] * Megumi nods sheepishly. [18:49:08] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.123.212) has joined #Youkai [18:49:13] * Adyen is now known as Emmy [18:49:45] * Emmy is now known as Adyen [18:49:48] * Adyen is now known as Emmy [18:52:45] * Emmy glides up to the lunch table and brightly asks, "How's everyone?" She glances at Kentaro, especially since he left early... [18:53:16] A little worried about the play. [18:54:07] Yeah, about a few things/ [18:57:54] Like what? I'm sure you've practiced a lot already... [18:58:00] * Megumi sulks a bit. [18:59:46] Some of us have. [19:01:23] * Emmy puts her food down and sits with a giggle. [19:02:30] What're you cheery about? [19:06:31] * Emmy shrugs. "Oh, nothing. I'm just feeling happy today. Got to know Kentaro's family a bit better, learned some fun things, made some friends and plans..." [19:08:00] * Kentaro looks up. "It's you. You are the stalker." [19:08:51] * Berny looks up from her fruit and crackers. [19:10:03] * Emmy looks at Kentaro innocently. "What? Stalker? Wow, that must have been something... but I was with your sister." [19:10:50] Oh, you're friends with Kikuko now? [19:11:45] * Emmy shrugs. "Well, I'd like to call her a friend. We've been talking a bit, about Kentaro and the sweets she served..." She giggled in delight as she remembered the strawberries. [19:13:23] I guess those were good cakes. Anyway, Emmy, think you can make sure Megumi practices her lines? [19:13:45] * Emmy nods and half-shrugs. "Sure. What are the lines?" [19:14:39] They're in the packet. [19:16:13] * Emmy lifts a free hand over while opening up her box of strawberries that were sitting on top of her lunch. [19:19:53] So, are you showing up to practice tomorrow, or do you have other plans? [19:20:35] Oh, yeah, absolutely. Wouldn't miss it for the world, lady. [19:21:07] * Emmy asks to see the script. [19:22:09] Yeah, yeah, I'll be there. [19:22:26] * Miki smiles. "Thanks." [19:22:35] * She hands a script over to Emmy. [19:23:37] * Emmy skims through the script with one hand while she starts eating a homemade sandwich with the other. "Hmmm... Any particular parts you're having trouble with Megumi?" [19:26:08] I...uh... [19:26:12] * Megumi 's face falls. [19:26:14] All of it. [19:27:26] * Miki sighs. [19:28:07] * Emmy pauses for a moment then shrugs. "Alright then. Come to my clubroom after class. I got a meeting with my members for around 15 mins, but I'll help you out afterwards." [19:30:21] Ah...sure. Thanks. [19:30:27] "Your" clubroom? What kind of club is it? [19:31:14] * Emmy swallows and beams. "What, haven't you heard? I'm the president of the Light Magic Club. We're by the West wing on the third floor. I thought I've mentioned it before..." [19:31:58] I don't think so... not ot me, anyway. [19:32:11] * Kentaro nods. "You mostly tried to sell it to us." [19:34:19] * Emmy blinks. "Huh. Well then..." She swallows a strawberry and starts her little introduction. "Well, I founded the Light Magic Club to prove real magic, to be honestly. I didn't want some weird dinky name like 'Black Magic Club(tm)' or something, but I also wanted to let people know about the truth of rumors." [19:34:45] * Miki looks to Kentaro. "Tee em?" [19:36:31] * Kentaro looks up. "Uh, I dunno. Hold on." [19:36:59] * Kentaro pulls a fashionable wallet out of his pants, and points at the logo. "It's a foriegn thing." [19:37:53] Oh. Oh, I get it. [19:38:13] * Emmy just giggles. "Sorry, it's just that I know the name's trademarked in some places. Anyways, even though I say that, I've been pretty much disproving most of the so-called 'ghosts' around the school. You should see some of the things people think are magical or supernatural and I can reproduce it with a stick and some light." [19:39:06] Like what? [19:40:05] * Emmy grins and says, "Come to my clubroom later and I'll show you. Maybe you can join as a ghost member." She then leaned closer and stage whispers jokingly, "I need more funding for my club." [19:41:01] Yeah, well, don't we all. [19:45:41] * Miki finishes up lunch. [19:49:50] [After school, in front of the Light Magic Club room...] [19:50:57] * Emmy could be heard yelling inside, "No, I TOLD YOU! Don't LIGHT THAT INSIDE!" [19:52:21] * Miki stands outside and raises an eyebrow. [19:52:45] * Megumi stares blankly at the door. [19:52:46] * Kentaro looks over to Miki. "Don't say I didn't warn you, this is probably gonna be pretty bad." [19:53:23] * Emmy opens the door, pointing outwards while facing towards a bunch of people inside. "OUT! If you REALLY want to try it so badly, do it OUTSIDE, not in my clubroom!" [19:53:49] * A student sighs, and put ssomething away. [19:53:56] * Emmy is talking to a few guys holding some candle sticks and in one case, a flashlight. [19:54:31] * Emmy continues, not noticing the others outside. "I don't care WHAT you say about summoning ghosts or whatnot, but you're NOT doing it HERE." [19:57:50] Fine, fine. [20:02:20] * Emmy nods in a seemingly sastified manner and turns to look outside. "Oh, you're here." She says, pausing. "Right. You guys, out. I'll talk to you tomorrow about this little incident." She emphasis on 'incident' like it was touching something she didn't want to even SEE. [20:02:47] * The students file out [20:05:35] * Emmy waves the group in. "Come in. Want something to drink? [20:05:37] * Miki waves. [20:06:42] * Kentaro heads inside. "Nah, that's fine." [20:07:17] * Berny ogles the students leaving, then steps inside after Kentaro and Miki. [20:07:28] What was that all bout? [20:08:22] * Emmy sighs and shakes her head. "Those CLOWNS wanted to do a senance in the clubroom. With SCENTED candles." [20:08:31] * Miki head sin [20:09:23] * Berny blinks a couple times. "Seance? Hm. That might've been interesting. What's wrong with scented candles? Are you allergic?" [20:09:39] * Emmy continues, starting to rant a bit. "I mean, EVERYONE knows that using scented candles would do nothing but lure evil spirits, and to make it even dumber, one wanted to use a FLASHLIGHT to replace their missing candle." [20:10:34] I kinda like the ones that smell like jelly beans. [20:10:57] * Emmy rant pt2: "There's a place and time for that kind of place, and INSIDE of a SCHOOL is NOT one of those places, and this is WAY not the time. God, have they even heard ANYTHING I've said for the entire year?" She mutters a few more words under her breath as she starts pouring tea. [20:11:24] I dunno, Kentaro. Not after what happened the last time. [20:14:02] * Berny has a glazed expression on her face as she listens to Emmy. [20:14:11] * Megumi shrugs after the other students leave. "They seem kinda dumb." [20:14:18] Well, you know, we stain the wood in the treehouse, I get the candles, and who's to know that flammable and inflammable are different things? [20:14:20] And sure: [20:14:39] Maybe if they hadn't smelled so delicious I wouldn't have got all up on them and knocked them over. [20:14:42] And sure: [20:15:14] Maybe if we'd realized we'd pretty much made the treehouse into the towering inferno, the candles might have been a better idea. [20:15:19] * Emmy turns around and points at Megumi. "EXACTLY! What are they even DOING thinking about doing something as STUPID as that? ARG! Why are some people just so... ARG." [20:15:33] But I stand by that they were pretty nice candles. [20:16:54] * Berny turns to Kentaro. "'Towering inferno'? Did you burn down your treehouse?" [20:17:42] Oh, yeah, well, you know how it goes. [20:18:34] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb014uw-ad04-69-225.dynamic.mts.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:18:52] Miki wasn't there when it happened was she? [20:18:58] * Berny glances over at Miki. [20:20:53] I definitely was. [20:21:12] * Kentaro sighs. "Yeah you were/ [20:22:29] Ooh. I'm glad you're both okay. [20:22:39] Yeah. And so is the treehouse, now. [20:22:43] * Berny nods. [20:23:33] * Emmy sighs as she quickly seats everyone and looks at the people there. "I still have no idea WHY they think lighting candles inside the school is a good idea." [20:23:45] * Berny shrugs. "Won't they set off the smoke detectors? [20:23:48] (") [20:23:52] Maybe they're jellybean candles. [20:24:10] Oh, I dearly hope so. [20:24:16] Yes? [20:25:39] Of course they would. I saw it with my supernatural powers to precieve the future called 'common sense'. [20:26:06] * Miki sniffs the air, curiously. [20:26:16] Did he actually light it? [20:26:46] * Emmy shook her head. "No, they didn't." [20:28:09] I would have done MUCH more than just yell at them if they did. [20:28:44] * Miki looks to Kentaro. "If you want, I can pick up some more jellybean candles next time I get the chance." [20:29:02] Oooh, would you? That'd be swell! [20:29:06] Or maybe make jellybean cookies. So you can smell them then eat them later. [20:29:40] Does- does such a thing exist? [20:30:43] If it doesn't exist, I'll make it exist. [20:31:46] * Berny blushes a bit. "Sorry. I feel kind of like I'm intruding on your couple time." [20:32:36] * Kentaro is reaching to put an arm around Miki, but withdraws it. "Oh, uh, sorry. I guess we're a little much sometimes." [20:32:57] * Miki blushes a bit. "R-right." [20:35:35] Oh, no, it's okay. I'm just, you know, easily embarrassed and stuff. [20:35:40] * Berny is still blushing. [20:35:57] Come on, we were just talking about cookies. [20:41:55] I know. Maybe I'm too sensitive. [20:41:59] * Berny smiles bashfully. [20:42:25] * Emmy chimes in, "Speaking of cookies, anyone want some? I think I still have some left over from the last meeting." [20:42:39] [Biscuits. Comme c'est romantique!] [20:42:43] Huh. Uh, maybe. [20:43:27] * Emmy goes to one of the drawers and rummages through it, producing a box of butterscotch cookies with a strawberry flavored center jelly. [20:43:32] * Kentaro speaks french badly. But it's not like anyone here is likely to notice. [20:44:49] Oh, cookies. Thanks, Emmy. [20:44:54] * Berny takes one gingerly. [20:45:00] Looks good. [20:45:08] Didn't you say something to Megumi earlier about magic? [20:45:49] Huh? I don't think so... Though if she wants a seemingly magical way to learn her script, I could probably find something for her. [20:46:02] * Kentaro takes one, and chews at it cautiously, unscrewing the top of his bottled water [20:46:22] * Berny blinks and seems instantly more attentive. "You can do something like that? Help her memorize her lines? How?" [20:47:04] * It's a good cookie. [20:47:12] * Emmy pops one into her mouth and eats it. "You distract the mind with the script. Have you ever notice that when you're doing something, you tend to notice the distractions more than what you're actually doing?" [20:47:45] Hmm. I don't know. I'm pretty good at concentrating, usually... [20:48:35] * Emmy shrugs. "Well, some people can concentrate on something to the point of ignoring the world. Others... not so much. Megumi seems to be more of a physical type, so I don't think her concentration is that way." [20:48:45] * Miki eats a cookie. [20:49:03] * Megumi (dlarmour@wnpgmb1303w-ad03-42-185.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Youkai [20:50:12] * Berny nods thoughtfully and nibbles on her cookie. [20:50:26] So what happens then? [20:52:49] * Emmy starts moving some unused chairs and the desks off to the side of the room. "So, I'll have Megumi focus on me while being distracting with the script. I was thinking of doing something physical while having her read the script." [20:53:15] * Megumi scratches her head. "Uh, okay." [20:53:45] That doesn't -sound- magical. [20:54:23] * Emmy soon clears up the entire room, having all the tables and chairs off the side and leaving the entire center of the room empty. "Right. Now, could you guys sit off to the side while Megumi stand near the middle with me?" [20:55:49] * Emmy adds, "And bring out the scripts. Since you guys are here, you can help." [20:57:34] * Miki moves off [21:00:25] Um...d'you guys have a spare script for me? Since I, uh, don't have mine. [21:00:40] * Emmy gives Megumi her script and says, "Now, we're going to play tag. You're it, and I'll be running around in this room only. The only rule is that you can only catch me while reading your lines. Everyone else will be reading out the other lines, and I'll fill in if we need it." [21:02:26] Is it okay if I just sit and watch? I didn't actually join drama club, so I don't have a copy of the script, anyway. [21:02:42] * Berny backs away toward the outer rim of the cleared space. [21:03:31] * Emmy just shrugs. "If you want. I've pretty much got the important parts of the script remembered, but it might be boring for you if you're not participating." [21:04:22] * Megumi looks confused, but nods. [21:04:44] Oh. Um. What do you want me to do? [21:06:09] * Emmy just smiles and said, "Just read off Miki's copy. You could read the other lines fast or slow and see how Megumi stumbles over herself trying to figure out which line she's on." She grins at Megumi, striking an innocent pose while rocking on her heels. [21:07:15] Oh, um, okay. I guess I can do that. [21:07:23] * Berny goes to sit by Miki and look over her shoulder. [21:08:16] * Emmy giggles a bit and asks Megumi, "So, you ready? Remember, this is to help you with your lines, so do this seriously!" [21:08:46] * Megumi gives Emmy a determined glare. "As if I'm gonna lose this." [21:09:42] * Emmy pulls an eyelid down and sticks her tounge out. "Oh no! The big bad oni is going to catch me!" She giggles out as she skips back a bit and then starts the first line of Act 1. [21:12:39] * Megumi starts desperately scanning the script for her first line. [21:13:38] [Session End] [21:18:40] * Megumi is now known as Yon [21:18:50] * Berny is now known as Cheeseball [21:19:01] * Emmy is now known as Adyen End of #Youkai buffer Thu Oct 08 21:19:42 2009
