Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-07-28 06:06 am UTC (link)

Tom stepped out into the small clearing across from Maeko and and Misaki. He stared at the two women for a moment, then pulled his hat lower. He made a quick inspection of the area until he found a place to sit that would let him hide if a teacher showed up. Far enough from the camp site that he could slip away unnoticed even. He just sat quietly until the others showed up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kanaye just swaggered into the clearing. "Hello, Misachan!" he said, smiling pleasantly. "Hello, Maechan! Tomkun!" Kanaye wanted to see how long he could act friendly to the people he doesn't like before he snaps or they do. It would be fun~! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom raised an eyebrow at Kanaye, then reached into his bag. Without looking away from the other third year, he pulled free a book. The title was on relationships and human interaction. He flipped it open, and then looked down at the page, finally looking away from the others and began reading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kozue followed shortly after Kanaye, peering around with the somewhat harried look of a person who has absolutely no backwoods sense and knows it. Upon catching sight of Misaki's bright pink hair through the trees - and everyone else, shortly after, but the bright pink came first - Kozue's face started to light up with a relieved grin, and she made her way into the little 'meeting area'. "Hello - how has everyone been enjoying the hike so far?" Now, where was she going to sit that she wouldn't get dirty? The entire forest was filthy with mud and bugs and... and a whole bunch of other things that made Kozue cringe internally, just in the listing. As she was furtively searching for a clean spot, she glanced over and caught sight of Sagaki's book. And she really wasn't sure whether she wanted to giggle or slowly edge away. It was, she decided, uncomfortably hilarious. "You really did mean it about researching, senpai." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-07-28 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	Tom, as was his habit, finished reading his page before looking up at Kozue. He spoke in the same deadpan tone he always used. "When there are things I don't know, I find them out." With that he went back to reading. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING pinksunbeam 2009-07-28 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Hello Satou-sempai! Sagaki-san, Kozue-chan there's a space over here if you want to sit," Misaki said as the others came in. She played with her hair some as they waited. She had to wonder what Kiriko had in mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING anthesphoria 2009-07-28 11:25 pm UTC (link)

"I had noticed, senpai," she replied, a bit put off by his brusque manner. But then, what about Tom wasn't slightly off-putting at first? (Well, his dog. That's what.) With Sagaki looking back into his book and apparently uninterested in chtting, Kozue peered over at the spot by Misaki - it was... well, there were dirtier places to sit, and she didn't want to be rude. "Thanks, Misaki-chan," she said, making her way over and very (very very) gingerly sitting beside her classmate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING some_other_dog 2009-07-29 01:31 am UTC (link)

Reizo wasn’t sure what annoyed him more: that he’d bothered to show up, or that he was amongst the first ten to get there. What sort of rebel showed up early? Still, he was there and walking off only to return later would look stupid, and probably even a little hammy. He took the time to inspect a mossy log and large, round rock jutting up out of the ground with just enough flat surface to not be terribly uncomfortable. He passed a hand over the log, found it wasn’t as damp as he’d expected, and took it up for a seat. Sure, it would be crawling with bugs and it wasn’t exactly level, but it was uninviting enough to hopefully keep people away. So Reizo sat on his mossy, half-rotten log and puffed away patiently on his cigarette, confident that they were far enough off the beaten track that he could toss it if a teacher did sneak up on them. He bent forward far enough to rest his elbows on his split legs and his chin on a palm. “How long‘s this gonna take?” he asked, eyes flicking from person to person of the assembled group; he was eager to get away and enjoy some nature alone. And maybe look for a bear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Kanaye smiled pleasantly. Both Kozue and Reizo were here? This would be fun... As he sat on the grass, Kanaye said "Kochan, Reikun! Glad to have you!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING pinksunbeam 2009-07-29 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"I wonder when Kiriko-chan and the others will get here. I'm a bit worried that a teacher might have stopped them." Misaki pointed out and took off her sweater and motioned for Kozue to get up. "Here you can use this so your skirt doesn't get dirty Kozue-chan." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING lotus_beyond 2009-07-29 04:14 am UTC (link)

Renju hated the outdoors. She hated hiking even more. Her feet were aching and her calves sore by the time she'd finally found something remotely resembling a path. She'd lost her map somewhere along the way, and what was supposed to be a brief side trip to check out some interesting-looking plants had ended with her spun around and with absolutely no idea which way to go back. Unable to keep still and unwilling to call for help, she'd set off in a random direction--she'd run into someone eventually, right? Now, she was no tracker, but it was pretty obvious that someone had come through this way recently, so she pushed onward till she came to the edge of a clearing, and... "... oh." She cleared her throat lightly and pulled her jacket tighter around her, her eyes flicking around the group. She was going to have to ask one of them for directions back, but most of them she didn't know, and the couple she did--was that Shirai-kun over on that log? She hung back in the shadow of the trees, chewing on her bottom lip nervously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 04:28 am UTC (link)

Kanaye stared at the new-comer. It takes skill to fail so badly as to find this place. And yet, here she is, randomly walking into their little group. Kanaye started to panic. He has been seen in the company of Tom and Reizo. His image will be ruined! Quick, damage control! "Well~, Renchan~" he said while walking over in the most seductive way he could imagine. "Fancy seeing you~ here. Do you...need something? Something that I~ can take care of?" he asked huskily as he stood in front of her and smiled pleasantly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING giantfruitbyday 2009-07-29 04:37 am UTC (link)

Maeko sighed, raising her hand to her face. "Stop being weird, sensei. It's embarassing being around you." She recognised Renju from her class and stood up to approach the girl herself. One person had walked into the meeting. 'In the woods somewhere' still was doing better than the supposedly private resturant room. "Is everything okay, Sonozaki-san? You're kind of out of the way here, are you lost?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 04:44 am UTC (link)
	Chuckling a bit, Kanaye simply smiled and turned to Maeko. "All right, Maechan. It was just a bit of fun!" he said giddily before backing off and once again addressing Renju. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Renchan. It's my way of greeting people. Seriously though, Renchan, you need something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING lotus_beyond 2009-07-29 04:52 am UTC (link)

For a long, agonizing moment, Renju's brain simply locked up. Did he really say that? To her? Was he really getting at what it sounded like he was getting at? "I don't... er... that is..." Finally, her mind managed to latch onto the one thing he said that she could actually deal with. "Please don't call me that, Satou-senpai," she wrenched out between gritted teeth, regaining her composure. Hearing a familiar voice behind Kanaye, she peered around him to find a much more welcome face, if a less familiar one. "A little lost, yes." She adjusted her glasses and ran a hand through her hair. "I'm sorry to intrude, Akuba-san, Satou-senpai. I've misplaced my map, you see..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 05:01 am UTC (link)

Kanaye stared, doing some thinking of his own. On one hand, he needs to be nice. On the other, annoying Renju is fun. Decisions, decisions... Compromise! Flirt with her. "Oh, but Renchan, someone as cute as you not being called -chan? That would be a travesty! I could not stand for that!" he exclaimed, posing dramatically. After about a second, he stopped and smiled at her. "Seriously though, Renchan, that's a problem. You want the directions back to camp, then?" he asked, putting his arms on the back of his head. "Or do you plan on going somewhere else? We're talking, but I'm sure one of us could accompany you." he said, smiling in a way that, in no uncertain terms, made it obvious who would be the first to volunteer. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Re: MEETING keiito 2009-07-29 05:03 am UTC (link)

The whole outdoors thing didn't really suit Keiichi that much, but nonetheless, here he was. The school didn't look kindly upon ditchers, not to mention that Ikeda-san had wanted to have a meeting. And so he walked into the part of the forest where the meeting was to take place, only to find... "Sonozaki-san," he stammered, looking around at the group and trying not to panic. "Hello! Fancy meeting you here..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING shiori_wakanata 2009-07-29 05:42 am UTC (link)

Shiori wouldn't exactly call herself directionally-challenged, and yet she wouldn't deny that she could be considered that. Wandering around town as much as she did, though, she had somehow gained the awesome ability to set off for an unknown destination and magically be able to find it after getting lost along the way. Which was how she was able to stumble upon the group without really knowing exactly where she was. "Hey everyone!" she greeted, glancing around to see who had shown up yet. Blushing lightly when she realized Keiichi was there, she wondered where to sit. Satou was hitting on a girl that Shiori vaguely recognized, Akuba was helping the same girl, and... ah! Kondo and Aoi were both there too! And Shirai! Beaming, Shiori skipped over to sit on the ground by the first years. She didn't care if she got dirty - all it was was dirt, after all. It would come off. It was then that she noticed another person. "Oh! Sagaki-senpai! You're here too?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-07-29 05:54 am UTC (link)
	When the girl arrived Tom put his book away, and watched the others handle it. They seemed to know her. He sat in his spot, ready to slip away at a moments notice. When Shiori called out he almost rolled his eyes, but instead nodded quickly, and then pulled his hat down over his eyes further. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 06:03 am UTC (link)

Noticing the new arrival, he smiled a bit at Renju, saying "I apologize for this Renchan, but..." quickly before dashing off to Shiori's side. He totally isn't conspicuous. At all. Really. He's like a ninja in his stealthiness. He makes Ryu Busahaya look like an amateur. "Shichan! Glad to see you~! Yeah, Tom's here. He decided to practice his stalking skills with us." he said before dropping his voice into a whisper. "He's quite bad at it, but let's humor him, ok?" he said before grabbing her and dragging her over to Renju. "Renchan, this is Shichan. Shichan, this is Renchan. You may have already met, I don't know. She's lost." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING some_other_dog 2009-07-29 09:47 am UTC (link)

Interlopers were a problem. One he’d almost expected. Kanaye making an ass of himself and not shooing them away immediately.. Well, the former was another thing he’d come to expect, but the latter was certainly not. He’d given Kanaye a bit more credit than that. Undeserved, he decided as he stood up, flashed a hand over the bottom of his trousers to dust off any sticking moss/bark, and made his way over to the gathering crowd. The grin he flashed Renju was humorless. His eyes were too wide and there were too many teeth bared; menacing was perhaps too kind a word. One strong hand found its way around the back of Kanaye’s neck and the other clamped down on one of Shiori’s slender shoulders; the white-haired boy peered down at Renju over his comrades shoulders. “Senpai,” the grin grew wider as he started, “I’m sure you’re plenty capable of finding the path again by yourself.” The smile melted and twisted into something feigning apology and helpfulness, “But if you can’t, I could help you. I’m afraid everyone else is just too busy with our planning to wander..” He looked surprised at himself at the ‘slip‘, and let out a hollow chuckle. “Me and my mouth!” he tutted, then leaned forward to speak closer to her, voice dropped low enough to be furtive: “We’re just working on something for the school. Mandatory. It’s all very hush-hush, so we’d appreciate it if you forgot all about this.” It may have been the tilt at the end of the statement, or the way his hand tightened into a death grip around Kanaye’s neck and produced visible pain as he spoke so casually to her, or the pervading earthy smell of damp, loose soil -- the perfect sort for graves -- that lent significance to his suggestion. He showed her another hard, humorless grin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING pinksunbeam 2009-07-29 05:50 pm UTC (link)

Misaki noticed the look Reizo was giving Renji and quickly got up. "Sonozaki-sempai, I'm sorry for all of this. You'll have to forgive my classmate, he's a bit um...tired...from all the walking. Er...if you would like I could help you get back on the path...oh but I bet you want some lunch first right?" Kiriko wasn't there yet, and they would need to start after they had eaten so there was no harm in this. Right? She smiled at Maeko to see if it was okay, and ignored the look that Reizo was probably giving to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING apathyisboring 2009-07-29 07:18 pm UTC (link)

"He's right, though." Kiriko stepped forward from the path, apparently having arrived just in time to hear Reizo's speech. Her eyes flickered darkly over Reizo, specifically his hands which looked rather painful on her teammates. She looked quickly to Renju, pretending she hadn't seen anything questionable at all. "You'll have to leave, Sonozaki-san." Kiriko stepped forward into the clearing and half-turned back to gesture at the path she'd just emerged from. "The camp is back that way, you can borrow my map if you want. If you need it, someone -" her eyes flitted over Reizo, Kanaye and Shiori, all clustered around her. She turned her head and nodded towards Keiichi, instead. "- can escort you." She gave them a wide berth as she made her way over to Keiichi, taking her map out and handing it to him. "If you could go quickly, it would be best. We're already behind schedule." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING keiito 2009-07-29 07:34 pm UTC (link)

He'd just gotten there two seconds ago, and they were already kicking him out? The scene was already admittedly ugly, considering Reizo was trying to strangle Kanaye and the group itself was frazzled by the arrival of (yet again) an interloper at their meeting. Keiichi looked at Kiriko for a few long seconds, before taking the map from her. In his mind, the damage was already potentially done. After all, if Renju knew enough of the people there, figuring out a way that they would all get along -- it made no sense. Something would clearly be wrong -- though Keiichi doubted she'd be able to figure out what. "Alright then," he finally said, forcing the bit of annoyance that he was feeling down and away. "I'm pretty sure I know the way even without the map. Shall we go, Sonozaki-san?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Re: MEETING zealousemperor 2009-07-29 08:13 pm UTC (link)

Wow. Kanaye knew that Reizo was an asshole, but he was trying to choke him to death? And even worse, he was grabbing Shiori in much the same way, AND he was threatening a helpless young woman! Why, Kanaye could not stand for that! So he kicked Reizo in the foot. He doubted that he could actually do much in a fight with the younger boy, but at least he could stop him from killing them. "E-eh, Reizo? Would you mind not killing me? I know it's how you solve your problems, but I'd rather keep my head, thanks." Noticing Kiriko's opinion, Kanaye mentally facepalmed. Did they not know how suspicious they were acting? If Kanaye was in Renju's shoes, he'd immediately go back as soon as Keiichi was out of sight. Ah well, not his problem.
