[August 3 stars off. . . weird.]

[The morning bell chimes at 6 a.m., as it usually does! But there appears to be a very thin layer of fog settled against the ground outside. Some of it seeps into the school's hallways, before dissipating in a few wisps of haze. Weird??]

[As the day goes on, you feel like you can hear strange whispers echoing in the air-- a voice, hissing the word miiiiiiiine over and over again. Also weird!]

[And by the time the afternoon hits, you may find yourself running into some very unwanted guests. You've been here two weeks, and this is the first time you're seeing these guys?? Where have they been??]

[By the way, the nurse's office is unlocked!]

[ Are they going to do this every time? He stares right back, arching a brow. ]

What, do I have something on my face?

[praiseful]

You have something all over your everything.

[ ...But she'll postpone her task for now so that she can approach his cot. ]

What happened, anyway? Everyone's talking about it, but I want to hear it from you.

[reapoman]

Do you want the long version or the short version?

[praiseful]

Hmmm... Long version. I need to know how to prepare if something like this happens to my class, too.

[reapoman]

Pull up a chair, then. I'll give you the rundown.

[praiseful]

Understood.

[ she will do just that!! ]

[reapoman]

[ And he will give her the play-by-play, including their new classmate seeming to appear out of nowhere, and the voices that the jinmenken mimicked. Everything up to the point where Mocha slammed the door before the ghost train could catch them. ]

Mocha and Macchi were able to work together to patch me up, and here we are.

[praiseful]

[ Nei listens dutifully, and the longer he goes on the more... she feels a certain way. Everything he speaks of sounds dangerous. Things she should be wary or fearful of. But instead she feels... a sort of morbid curiosity.

Don't you think this place is reeeeeally interesting? ]

So it all happened in this fog, you said? It sounds like bad news.

[ Or maybe... an adventure! ]

[reapoman]

That's right. Whatever it was, it wanted to find us. We weren't out looking for trouble.

[praiseful]

Hmph.

[ A beat. ]

So, that means we have to be prepared for trouble at any time. It's a good thing that I'm already trained for this!

[reapoman]

What do you normally use that sword of yours for, anyway?

[praiseful]

They're called Maga.

[ this is not a gagtag ]

Beasts that came from the remains of living things and that feed on humans.

[reapoman]

Huh. Sounds like you're pretty well-equipped to handle this place, then.

[ THANK GOD ]

[praiseful]

I am, aren't I?

[ don't be shy, Ivan. Say more good things about Nei. ]

Anyway, you must be really bored in here, aren't you?

[reapoman]

It's not the worst. I mostly nap a lot, though something to read wouldn't go amiss.

[praiseful]

Then, should I fetch a book for you from the library?

[reapoman]

If you're really offering, I won't say no. Pick out something good.

[ He's really leaving this entirely in her hands. ]

[praiseful]

[ She won't let him down. (?) Nei nods and then goes off to the library without further fuss. Because she is a good girl, she will return not very long after with the book - it's a thick one - which she has borrowed properly (because she is a good girl). ]

I'm back! Here you go.

[ It's The Tale of Genji... good luck Ivan ]
