<b>vibrantly-awful</b> It's still Autumn. Satomi, dazed and very noticeably exhausted from a long day, sat at the bench to the city bus in front of the academy, waiting on her ride to go home for the weekend to her family- her mother and little brother. She was too tired to even have her phone out, and even her panda bookbag seemed to sag a little. Her eyes were heavy, and her skin was pale, and it looked as though she'd been running herself ragged. She started to drift asleep to the sound of lectures drifting from open windows, spilling into the places below their open panes and mixing with the crunch of browning leaves.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart was just heading back to the academy after picking up a few things he needed - mostly specialized materials like paper for creating sheet music and other miscellaneous items that he THOUGHT he would need - from the city. One hand was holding onto his guitar case's handle while the other was holding onto this bag of items. He looked up when he reached the academy, noticing Satomi. He contemplated simple walking by but thought that was rude especially consider he didn't even have any kind of excuses like listening to music. He walked up to Satomi and glanced down at her. "What're you up to?" He asked, eyebrows raised.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: Scaring her awake, she jolted a little in her seat and looked frantically around, then rested her gaze on Lennart. "O-oh, hello," she said, nodding her head sluggishly. "I'm- well, I'm just waiting for the bus to get here so I can head home for the weekend," she said, rubbing at her eyes. "Although I wish..." She interrupted herself with a yawn, stretching. "I wish it would get here sooner, you know? I forgot what time it normally gets here, so I- uh.. I've kind of been waiting here since 12pm." She admitted, scratching at her cheek thoughtfully. "What're you doing around here?"

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart blinked. She had been waiting since noon? He visibly grimaced slightly at the thought of returning to a "home" even for a short weekend. He shrugged, motioning in the direction of the city with a tilt of the head. "I was just heading back to my dorm after picking up a few things I needed." Things you thought you needed, loser. "Just got back. But... so, you've been waiting since twelve? That requires quite a bit of patience," He smiled slightly.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: At his smile, she immediately returned one of equal radiance, with or without realizing that she was doing so. It was just polite, in any case. "Oh, it's not that big of a deal," she said, waving her hand in an effort to downplay herself. "It's only been a couple of hours. I've waited longer for a game release-" Ah, did she just say too much? "Well, anyway, it's alright. I've caught up on some things while I've been waiting," she said, nodding her head like an old grandmother, wise beyond her years, suddenly. "What kinds of things did you set out to get?"

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau was taking a stroll around school. Deciding wether she'd want to go into town or not. She stomped around looking for crunchy leaves. Char nearly didn't even see Satomi and Lennart across the way.

She waved over at the two. Satomi still scared her a bit but she felt better when noticing Lannart.

"Hello~" She sung out, walking over to the two.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart could feel a bit of sweat go down his cheek at the thought of waiting for a game release at all! "Oh, just paper for sheet music, a few extra strings in case I ruin the ones I currently have on my guitar... all sorts of things," He said with a shrug. "Any small parts that I tend to lose, too," He added. He glanced over to see Charbonneau just before she greeted the two. He tilted his head to nod. "Hey," He said, a small smile on his face.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: Noticing Charbonneau, she tensed up. "Ah- Charbonneau, right?" Satomi questioned, with perfect pronunciation. "You're not setting anymore traps, right?" Satomi folded her arms across her bookbag, which was sitting in her lap, and looked away, almost in a huff. "Well, I'll assume you aren't, for the time being, so I'll ask what you're up to at this hour instead," Satomi said, retracting her statement from before and trying a nicer approach. Even if it was an attempt to be nicer, it still sounded sort of harsh, so she softened it a little. "How are you?"

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau smiled sweetly at Lennart, then turned to Satomi with a slightly mischievous smile.

"No, not today~" She thought of all the things she had set up in the library.

"And I'm well, just getting some sun~ Oh have you two heard about that invitation?"

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart rose an eyebrow and tilted his head. "Well, that's a disappointment," He joked on the topic of Charbonneau currently not working on any pranks or traps. He was sure she was up to something, however. He then lowered his eyebrow, curious. "What invitation?" He questioned, looking between Char and Satomi.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: "You couldn't mean the invitations Arisu and Carol were passing out a while ago, could you?" She said, moving her bangs aside. "Are you going to be attending, Charbonneau?"

<b>KadenDragon</b> "Of course I'm going!~" Charbonneau voice rose a bit and her tail whipped about. She was really excited, and a little offend someone asked if she was attending.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart blinked, raising the hand that was holding onto the  bag of items he bought as if in class asking a question. "What's this all about?" He asked, eyebrows raised. "I don't remember getting anything like that." Maybe because you have very little situational awareness, don't check your mail, and ignore others, dingus.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: "Everyone has been talking about it lately, but I haven't really gotten an official invitation... it's a little sketchy, if you ask me," Satomi asserted, looking at Lennart. "Something about a haunted manor, or whatnot." She scratched behind her head a little, thinking. "Well, I-it's not that important, so I don't really know if I'll end up going, so..." she said, avoiding eye contact.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart rolled his head to rest on one shoulder. "Really?" He questioned, eyes closed for a brief second. "I think it sounds like a fun idea, sketchy or not~" He hummed, rubbing his chin with the hand he had raised just prior. "Haunted houses are usually pretty fun," Consider you have only ever been to one, you freaking dingus. "You should totally go," He added as an afterthought.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau smiled. "I'm sure you're just too scared to go~" She teased, grinning and sticking out her tongue.

"Do you think you'll go Lennart?"

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart looked at Charbonneau, smirking slightly. "I think so, though I don't know anything about it yet," He said, going back to the topic of never receiving any kind of information personally.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: "I-I am not!" She retorted, nervously tugging on the bow around her neck. "I'll go then, if not solely to prove you wrong. Hmph~" She added, folding her hands. She was a little embarrassed that Lennart seemed so enthusiastic that she attend, but didn't say anything of the sort to either of them.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart shot Satomi a wide smile and leaned back. "It's great that you've decided!" He hummed, lowering his hand. "I'm sure it won't be that bad anyway! They're usually fun but it's never all that scary, you know." He said, implying Satomi had never been to one.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: And suddenly he popped up beside the group, a wide grin on his face, “What about scary?” He wasn’t fond of scary things, but as long as he could get into the conversation.

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: Thoroughly spooked, Satomi dropped her bag from her lap, squeaking a little. "W-wh... Orion?" She breathed, holding her hand over her chest.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart slowly turned to stare at Orion before slowly raising a hand. "Yo," He murmured, eyebrows raised.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau giggled at Satomi's response.

"Mhm~ they're always really fun~ cause then I can scare people~"

She said more to herself so not to give Satomi a reason not to go or complain.

Charbonneau beamed when Orion appeared and clung to his arm.

"We're talking about that haunt manor invite~ Are you going?" Her tail wagged, she was curious to hear his response.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Hello! Miss me?” He giggled, patting Char’s arm. “Ooh, right! That! I’m totally going! There’s no was I’d miss.”

<b>vibrantly-awful</b> Satomi: Picking her bag from the ground, there was a faint sound of squeaky brakes from over the top of the hill. Looking up, she saw the bus headed her way, and Satomi stood. "Ah- my ride is finally here!" Turning, she bowed her head a little in farewell. "Let's meet again at the.. uh. Party, alright? I'll be back before you know it," She said, smiling as the bus pulled up behind her. She boarded, waving like a princess as the doors closed, and she took her seat somewhere in the middle.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau waved bye to Satomi, grinning as she did.

"Same for me! I wouldn't miss it for the world~" She hummed.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He pouted slightly as Satomi left, but looked back to Char, excited. “Yeah, yeah, it seems super fun!”

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart watched as Satomi left - what perfect timing for the bus considering how long she has been waiting for it! He looked back at the other two, standing a bit off to the side as to not intrude on the conversation they seemed to be having.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He tilted his head to look back at Lennart, staring at him for a bit. “Hey, hey, you should talk with us too! It’d be unfair if you didn’t, since I just stormed in, right?” At least he was trying to be nice...?

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau nodded. "Super duper fun!" She glanced over at Lennart.

"So uh what's everyone have planned for today? Also where did you come from Orion?"

She was still clung to him. Just a natural response thing she does.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart shrugged slightly. "Nice way to drag me in..." He murmured under his breath.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Oh, I was just wandering. I do that a lot, huh?” He shrugged, not minding Char clinging to him at all. “I was just gonna go back and play video games, but hanging out with you guys is much nicer!”

<b>KadenDragon</b> "Oh I do that too, though I don't play a lot of video games. Just the wandering around part~" In fact Char doesn't really even play games.

She looked back at Lennart.

"What about you?"

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart looked at Charbonneau and shrugged. "I have a few game systems and all that but I'm usually too busy with my music to play them," He said, basically admitting to having like one freaking hobby.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Aw, you should put more effort into video games! Say, do you like dating sims?” He didn’t even hesitate in asking. “I think they’re funny! Oh, oh, you should play a song for us sometime!” He just keeps talking.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart rose his eyebrows when he heard Orion's question. "D-Dating sims...?" He murmured, wondering if it was exactly what the genre name implied. "I guess I could play a song sometime," He said, looking at his full hands. Just... not right now. He had "important" things to put away! And by that, I mean fairly cheap, easily replaceable, music equipment and paper...

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau hopped a few times.

"Oh yes you should most definitely play for us sometime~"

Then she tilted her head and looked up at Orion. "What's a dating sim?"

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Aw, sweet!” He kept grinning, having to keep from laughing when the two were unsure to what dating sims were. “Well, basically, its just a game where you try to date people!” He pulled out his phone and opened one of his many apps to show it off. “See?”

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart stared at Orion's cell phone screen for a strench of time, wondering why such a thing existed. A game ABOUT picking up other people? People made games about relationships? ???????

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau also peered over at Orion's phone.

"Oooh I see." She pulled out her app free phone.

"How do I get them? They look so pretty~"

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: He was making his way to school for some study time when he spotted the group huddled together. He already recognized Char and Orion but not the other tall guy. At least he wasn't alone. "Yooo..what's up guys?"

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart glanced back at Hitoshi, this newcomer to the conversation that he did not know, before looking back at Orion's phone. He, curiously, put his bag into the hand that was already holding his guitar and fetched his phone from his pocket to look up such an app!

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Aha~ I’m glad you agree! They’re really cute, right?” He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and a random pen he luckily had on him, and wrote down the names of the apps he thought Char would like, before handing it to her. “Here! Oh, share with him, ok? I think he’s interested too!”

He looked back at Hitoshi and grinned more, waving to him, “Ah, hi! We’re talking about games!”

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau quickly looked up to see who approached.

"Hiii Hitoshi~"

Then quickly looked at the paper Orion handed to her.

"Oh thanks you!" She freed Orion so she could start adding them. She moved over to Lennart to get his help.

"Could you help me?"

Not the most tech savvy.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "Games? What type of games?" he asked attempting to glance over their shoulder to see.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart shrugged and pointed at Charbonneau's screen, assisting her to getting to her phone's app store. "And just search for the titles he gave you here..." He murmured, opening the search bar for her. "It should pull up just fine."

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Dating sims! Y’know, the ones where you date people!” He kept grinning, happy to get others into dating sim hell.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau watched closely as to what Lennart was showing her.

"Oh I get it now,  thanks Len~"

She managed to dl the rest on her own.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart nodded and went back to browsing through his own cell phone, possibly also wandering into dating sim hell. He then looked to Hitoshi with a raised eyebrow as he did not recognize him from anywhere.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi:"....oh..." his interest dropped immediately. Hito didn't really understand the enjoyment of dating your computer screen. "You mentioned horror games last time." Noticing that the other guy he didn't know was looking at him quizzically, he realized it was rude not to introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Hitoshi," he accompanied the introduction with a small wave.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Yah! I like these more, though...horror games scare me, y’know? but I have a few!” He kept rambling on about what games he had, trailing off when he realized Hitoshi was now talking to Lennart instead.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart did the same with the hand holding his phone. "Lennart," He said before motioning to Hitoshi that Orion was trying to talk to him.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau perked up at the mention of horror games.

"Oh I've played a few horror games. I'm really bad at them but I really love them!~"

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "That's cool that you like dating sims..it's just not something I'd personally play," he smiled in response. "Horror games are hard to find..good ones at least. Some of them are so cliche it's boring."

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He was happy at least to get a smile. He stood there like a happy puppy, “Aha, I’m glad you like them, at least! Someone else needs to enjoy them besides me.”

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "I was actually considering inviting you guys to watch horror movies at my place sometime closer to halloween...if that's something you'd be interested in." He stuffed his hands into his pockets while waiting for some sort of reponse.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart blinked and moved to rub the back of his head with the hand holding his phone. "Sounds like a nice idea..." He murmured. He was not too particularly fond of scary movies. It wasn't that he got scared easily it was actually that he found them quite repetitive and boring but he opened himself to invitation.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He paused for a moment- he KNEW he was going to get scared and jump into someone’s lap and beg to be comforted, but, hey, hugs are great, right? “Sure! Sounds really fun!”

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "I'll text you the time and date when I plan it out...there will be food as well." Hito was so proud of himself for actually attempting to have people over. He didn't want a huge group, just a few friends.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau bounced in place from excitement.

"Oh oh I love to come over an watch horror movies with you all!"

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "...wellll...if you aren't busy..I guess we could go over and watch some now. Unless you had other things you were going to do. I was actually going to go to the academy to study, but we could have a study session as well before we watch." It was kind of a last minute offer but Hito thought he'd just throw it out.

<b>OvanNikki</b> Lennart shrugged, a straight expression on his face. "Eh, I really need to drop off my guitar and the stuff I bought today..." He murmured, glancing at the hand holding said things. He started walking off, waving to the group. "See y'all later!"

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “Ah, um! I don’t have anything to do!” He hesitated a little bit- right now? He didn’t have any time to prepare himself! He blinked, waving to Lennart as he left, “Oh, bye!” It was amazing how easily he was distracted...

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: Hito took Orion's surprise as discomfort with the idea. "If you don't want to that's completely fine. I understand everyone's busy."

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau waved bye to Lennart.

"I'm free now, as well!" She was back to bouncing.

Char was always down for horror movies.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He shook his head quickly, “No, no! I want to!” He was prepared to grab Hitoshi’s hands and stare at him all dramatically to prove his point but, what if things got weird? Yeah, he decided against it.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "Oh okay then! Just follow me." He turned back towards the way he had come previously. This was going to the first time he had people over at his apartment since moving.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau reclung to Orion and practically dragged him along after Hitoshi.

"This is so exciting!"

Hanging out with friends was quite a new thing for her.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He took a deep breath, trying to prepare himself for the movies, before walking after Hitoshi, trying to keep up with him- why did tall people have such long legs?!

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: He didn't realize how quickly he was walking until he looked over his shoulder and the other two were several feet away. "Ah sorry!" he apologized when they got closer. It was about a 10 minute walk to his apartment complex. It wasn't super ritzy but it was a nice layout. You obviously had to have a good chunk of money to afford to live there. "This is it..I'm on the second floor." He started to head up the stairs.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: “It’s fine!” He grinned, enjoying the walk, though still trying to prepare himself for the horrors that he was about to witness. Once they got to the apartment, he looked around, amazed, “Whooa...it’s so pretty...” He got caught up in staring that he nearly lost track of Hitoshi, and quickly followed him up the stairs.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau was alreasy running up the stairs and down the hall.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: He grabbed Char  by the arm before she could get too far. "Don't run. You'll disturb my neighbors.." he chided before pulling his keys out to unlock his door. "Go ahead and go in." He held the door open for them to enter.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He was lucky he didn’t start running, he just kind of quietly walked into the apartment and looked around, even more in awe than he was staring at the outside of the building.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau pouted.

"Fiiine..." She followed Hito into his place.

"Whoooa! Nice place!" She covered her mouth incase she was too loud.

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami: Ami packed her bag of invitations she had for her birthday party and texted Hito if he was nearby so she can give him something.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "Thanks...you can hang out in the living room if you want. You can choose a movie on the tv while I get some food." Hito dumped his school bag in a chair before going into the kitchen area. He felt his phone buzzing and checked the messages. 'Char and Orion are at my place if you want to come join. We're going to watch movies,' he texted back along with his address.

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami: She checked her phone and sees the address and she was happy that Char and Orion was there so she can give them their invites too. "Ok I'll be there soon" she texted back while she made her way over.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He was still stuck staring, until Hitoshi mentioned picking a movie. He looked at Char like ‘plz tell me u know scary movies???’

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami : Ami checked her phone again to see if she got the right address before she knocked on the door while she fidgeted and pats the rabbit in her hoodie while she holds the bag of fancy scroll invites.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: "Ami's coming over to join us.." he started to say before her heard the door. "That's probably her now." That was quick he thought before opening the door to let her in. "Hey.." Hito greeted.

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami: She lightly jumped and smiled at Hito "Oh! I wanted to give you this " she said getting a glass tube that held with a scroll inside. "My birthday is on Oct 25 would you come ?" she asked while a black rabbit popped out of her hoodie collar and look around.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau smiled at Orion and flopped onto the couch. She searched around for the remote so she could pick a movie. She flipped through the movies before picking some zombie apocalypse movie.

"Hiii Ami!!" She sung out to her, waving from her spot.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: He took the fancy invite and turned it around in his hand. "Sure! I should be able to come," a smile spread on his face. "Make yourself comfortable. We're going to watch horror movies. I'm trying to scrap together some snacks at the moment."

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He gulped as he sat on the couch, trying to calm himself down- it’s just a movie, nothing bad will come out of it! ...Right? He turned his head towards Ami and waved, “Ah, hey!” It wasn’t as energetic as normal, but it worked.

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> "Really ?! Thank you , oh.. um.. the party is formal attire.. everyone ill be wearing kimonos.. if you need one I can let you borrow one or rent one for you " she said before she looked at Char and Orion and waved at them before she sits down with them as her black bunny jumped out of her hoodie and landed on her lap.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: After putting what food he could find on the coffee table, he took a spot on the couch with the others. "I think I have one in my closet somewhere..I'll look later."

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami: She pulled of the other two invitations and gave it to Char and Orion "My birthday is on oct 25 I hope you guys can make it.. the attire is Kimono only.. I hope that's ok " she said giving them the invitations

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He took it, and blinked, before grinning. “I’ll totally come! Oh, gee, this is really exciting! I’ve never worn a kimono before...” His ego as an anime character just went up by ten. I mean, kimonos. He was so excited, however the lingering fear of the movie was still there.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau happily took the invite.

"Thank you so much, Ami~ I'll make sure to come."

She then tilted her head.

"Kimono? I've never worn one either."

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami: Ami giggled a bit and smiled "Theres going to be tasty food and games so I hope you can come " she said turned to Char. "O-oh ! you can wear a yukata if you want but it might be too cold to wear one.. " she said while she pets her rabbit.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: He reached over and pressed play to begin the movie. "I haven't worn one in a long time..it probably doesn't even fit anymore." His closet was so stuffed, it was probably hiding in the very back recesses.

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He was intently listening to everyone talk to hopefully block out the movie. Is it scary yet? Probably not, but he didn’t want to look back in case it was.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau was still confused about the kimono/ Yucatan situation. Though the start of the movie caught her attention.

<b>Ami-Aoyama</b> Ami :Ami started to watch the movie took but scary movies freak her out so she holds a pillow to her mouth in case she'll need to scream before she looked at Orion and holds her pet rabbit in case he like to pet him .

<b>starfrappe</b> Orion: He curled up, seeing that no one was talking anymore, and had to force himself to turn towards the TV. He blinked, looking back at Ami and her rabbit. He smiled and started to pet the rabbit, happy that there was another distraction.

<b>KadenDragon</b> Charbonneau was pretty into the movie. Kind of like a sports fan really getting into the sport they're watching.

<b>sarcatlady</b> Hitoshi: The movie was decent but he had seen zombies up close and it just didn't have the same impact when they were fake and on a tv screen. Char seemed to be enjoying it though. The other two he wasn't so sure.
