Tom scratched the back of his head. "Yeah... it's... it's the Anti-Bullying Clubs new special outreach program. The idea is they find delinquent students, problem kids and such, then try to befriend them, to get them back in line. Sometimes... like in my case they help, and sometimes it can go badly like you saw. On top of that, the Principal asked that we include some students have problems that we hadn't figured on, like Wakanata-san, she has trouble paying attention, and Satou-san with his terrible, terrible learning disability. We're trying to keep membership as secret as possible, you know, so membership doesn't equal a ruined reputation." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"'Special outreach program'?" To say that Renju was a bit skeptical would be an understatement, but she didn't really have any other possible explanation for why so many people, several of whom hated each other's guts, would be hanging around with each other. "If that's the case, why would someone like Shirai-kun care so much about it being found out?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom cracked a smile, his best performance to date. "Could you imagine Shirai-san's reputation amongst his bully friends if people knew he was involved in *anything* the Anti-Bullying club was doing?" He stepped closer, laughing a bit. "So... I am sorry that if you were upset by that display. I think you can be trusted with the secret of our little group though." Tom's voice was non-threating, more of a compliment toward her character then a encouragement to be quiet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was all still incredibly fishy. Then again, Renju reflected, after what she'd just seen, she probably wouldn't buy that explanation even if it were true. It could well be that events had just conspired to make it look that way. "... I suppose." Not to say she wasn't still going to keep her eyes open. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom nodded, and then looked around. He gave his explanation, and at this point would usually leave. He wasn't used to having to cover other people. He looked at her awkwardly. "Uh... do you need help getting back to the camp?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Renju opened her mouth, ready to brush him off, then shut it again when she realized she had no sense of direction and no map--she'd left in such a hurry that she hadn't picked it up from Ito-san. Flushing slightly, she nods, folding her arms tightly against her chest. "I... yes. Directions would be enough." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom nodded, he had only recently begun trying to pretend to be friendly, so his usual deadpan expression slipped back in place as he spoke. "I can walk you back to the camp, but not all the way. I'm not technically on the trip, and I'd rather the teachers not see me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's... fine, as long as you can show me the right way before you leave." Renju didn't particularly want to hang around him longer than necessary, but there were worse things in these woods, and... well, now that she'd actually talked to Sagaki-senpai, he didn't seem so awful. "Which way?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom nodded, he pointed toward the trail they were both standing on. "If you go down this trail you can see where it forks ahead there. Take that fork on the right and follow that, it will come out right next to the teachers tents." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING lotus_beyond 2009-08-01 03:06 am UTC (link)
	Renju peered down the trail. It looked clear enough, now that she was actually paying attention to it. Even with her sense of direction, it shouldn't be too hard to get back. Feeling somewhat relieved, she nodded back towards him. "Thank you, senpai. I think I should be able to handle it from here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: MEETING ofmanydevices 2009-08-01 03:13 am UTC (link)
	Tom tipped his hat to Renju as she walked away. He didn't say anything as she left, and then turned and walked back into the woods. (Reply to this) (Parent)
