[The school is empty. The school is quiet. The only sound that cuts through the silence is the soft ticking of the hallway clocks that mark the passing of each second.]

[. . .]

[At least. . . until a stiff breeze whips through the classrooms, scattering dirty papers and jerking the curtains aside. The clock strikes 6:00 a.m.]

[The school bell chimes.]

Oh! Uh...

[Averted gaze, sheepish smile, reaching up to rub at the back of her neck. Which of course agitates some of those wounds on her arm and elicits a hiss from her.]

Yeah, you could say that. Not the first time I've had to find my way out of somewhere dangerous.

Alright, take it easy and rest.

[girl.]

I don't really know what that means, but I'm getting the feeling you don't really want to talk about it.

It's just... probably better if I don't, y'know?

[There's just too many unknowns at play here, and revealing too much is always a dangerous prospect around strangers, so...]

[...?]

I don't really get that, either, but okay. It's fine. We don't even really know each other, so it's not like I'm going to get mad about it.

[She flashes her a subdued smile that's one part apologetic and one part grateful.]

Guess this is the part where we'd introduce ourselves so we could get to know each other, but well... names are probably still a bad idea, huh?

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but we came up with fake ones in my class.

I'm going by Botan for now, so you can call me that. Nice to meet you.
parttimesoldier: (136)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-07-21 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice to meetcha then, Botan.

[A pleasant little grin before her expression turns a little more thoughtful.]

Some of my crew did the same, but I was a little too preoccupied trying to find a way out of there to give it much thought at the time... Guess I oughta come up with a good one.

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Need any help? I'm getting pretty good at it at this point.

[She is Not Getting Good At It.]

[Suzuha believes in her.]

Really? Well hey, I won't say no to some help then. Gotta have a cute or hip name like all the cool kids, y'know?
selfportraiture: (pic#17949702)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Suzuha no.]

That's true! You're a cute girl, so you gotta have a cute name.

Let's see... what sorts of things do you like?

[Weapons maintenance, hand-to-hand combat, successfully carrying out a mission—wait, no.]

Well, I'm a pretty active gal—going for a nice bike ride is always fun. And sweets are great, like these strawberry shortcakes I got to try...

[Thoughtful pause as she wracks her brain for more Normal things... and suddenly she lights up excitedly.]

Oh! And I got to finally see fireworks recently too! Those are so awesome!
selfportraiture: (pic#17949699)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-21 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, fireworks?

[Huh... The way she lights up over it is so cute. It's strange she'd never seen fireworks before recently, but--maybe she just doesn't get out much?]

How about Hanabi, then? That's "fireworks", but it's "fire flower" if you read the kanji literally, which is kind of cute.
parttimesoldier: (136)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-07-22 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Hanabi, huh?

[A beat, and then she's grinning ear to ear.]

I dig it! Think it totally suits a fiery girl like me, yeah? And hey! With the kanji the way it is, that means I can be in the flower club with you, Botan!

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
You do?

[!!! Ena did think it was a cute name sincerely, but she wasn't sure about whether or not she was really coming up with anything good--but she brightens up now, both relieved and delighted.]

I mean, yeah, of course, it's a super cute name and it suits you really well, so of course you like it! [ya ok ena]

And yeah, you're definitely part of the club now! Congratulations on getting in!

[Oh, Suzuha looks absolutely stoked. This is how you cheer a girl up after some spooky ghost encounters, apparently.]

Sweet~! Promise I'll do my absolute best to represent the club.

[Complete with a playful little salute.]

[Ah, that's it. She was already a cute girl, but she's much cuter smiling like this, instead of talking about weird almost soldier-esque things.]

Of course! Since it is the best club. Hm... maybe we can get matching bracelets or ribbons or something.

[This is all fanciful--she's hoping they won't be stuck here long enough to really need them--but it's nice to think about Something Else.]
parttimesoldier: (085)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-07-22 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
[It is nice to think about Something Else. In fact, Suzuha might cry (good tears!) if they follow through on the idea, so of course she's on board.]

Oh, heck yes! We gotta! Should make 'em totally cute to fit the theme, too!
selfportraiture: (pic#17949688)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-22 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Naturally! What's the point if they're not as cute as we are?

[She plants her hands on her hips, nodding firmly.]

We'll get Blossom to design them. She's really got an eye for cute things.
parttimesoldier: (137)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-07-23 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Blossom, huh?

[Already a member of the club, by the name. Sweet! Another new potential friend to meet.]

Well, I'll have to bow to her expertise, then. Everyone's gonna be real jealous of our cute swag.
selfportraiture: (pic#17949798)

[personal profile] selfportraiture 2025-07-23 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[C... cute swag.... girl... girl...]

H... ha ha, yeah! Couldn't have put it better myself...

[Alright.]

... Anyway, let's keep doing our best. We can reward ourselves with cute accessories after.
parttimesoldier: (095)

[personal profile] parttimesoldier 2025-07-24 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah. Cute swag. 🙂

Anyway, right. Time for serious face again for a second.]

Yeah. Think we're gonna have a lot of work ahead of us. We'll give it our all!
