Persona: Dreaming Puppets

"Haha, Oui, it's just that demons are slitting open people's throats, and pushing them off buildings." Okay, this kid might have a little bit of a redeeming factor to him, but he's still WEIRD.

'I'll settle for udon, if you don't mind.' Yukari told him.

Neku chuckled,

"Precisely, makes perfect sense for them!....Anyone think this school's going to shut down?"

"Demons..." Masumi seemed to be seriously considering the possibility for a moment. "Echisa's not exactly the most culturally rich town that I know of, but it's not an impossibility."

"As for the school, I'm equally as uncertain. However, given it's the first day and the lack of effect that the suicides have had on a lot of students, I'm leaning more towards it staying open."

Neku chuckled.

"Friggin' Demons Man...So, do you think we'll have to go talk to a Psyhiatrist?"

"Hmm, Kenta, did you say something? I didn't catch that."

At the Senpai's speaking up, Sojirou turns to her.

"One udon's coming right up, then- Uh, I don't believe I ever got your name?"

Nodding at her reply, Sojirou continues.

"Can you find us a seat? Kenta, you want anything?"

With that he goes buy food then return to distribute them.

'Yukari. Yukari Shimizu. I hope we get to know each other better in the future~' she smiled at Soujirou.

"I think the option will be available to us, but mandatory? I don't believe so. Therapy isn't cheap." Masumi stopped on one of the staircases to make a note about a window she hadn't known was there- it looked like the evening light would come through here, which could greatly accentuate the otherwise mundane steps. "I don't believe that I will go if there is one."

Kenta frowned at the mention of therapy, remembering the counseling he had been put through after his little 'misadventure'. "No thanks, i'm not hungry." answered Kenta, looking to Sojirou. He looked down at his feet when Yukari introduced herself. "N-nice to meet you, too, Shimizu-senpai."

The PA crackled to life. "Attention students. Despite the sudden and tragic suicide of Professor Hisakawa, we ask you to remain calm. Grief counseling sessions shall be held tomorrow and the day after in the Computer Lab at nine AM and again at noon. On another note, the dorm arrangements have been posted."

Kenta perked up. "Oh. We should probably go check those out..." he said, glad to get a moment's reprieve from the awkwardness. He walked off, looking at the dorm lists. He read through the list, noting that the dorm buildings were all named after famous samurai for some reason (Morale?): Miyamoto, Yagyu, etc...) He stopped when he reached the 'Nobunaga' dorm.

List Of Residents: Fujimoto Kenta

Ashikaga Sojirou

Ichigo Neku

Shimizu Yukari

Ienari Masumi

Matsumoto Kenjiro

Urbin Adrien

....

"...."

Kenta stared, then looked back at the group, then back to the list. "Well, that is just the strangest coincidence..." mumbled Kenta.

"Well, I guess it seems as if the school is willing to spare non expense." Adrien took a look at the boarding list tacked up on the wall. "Guys, are we dans le Nobunaga dormitoire?" ((In the Nobunaga rooms))

"Well..." Masumi followed Adrien to the list, putting her finger first on his name then trailing it up to Neku's. "You're on there. And so is he." She took her finger off again, trying to recall if she had heard of any of the other students on the list. "I'm on there too, so it's safe to say that we're going to be dormies."

"Non, I meant: Are we there now? Still, this is great!" Adrien held up his hands in joy.

Holy fudge...hadn't realized I hadn't watchlisted this...

After walking towards the dorm lists, Kenjiro started looking for his name.

"Now then...whose antics will I have to suffer through? Urgh, that's a lot of people...and probably not one of them will be worth talking to..."

Turning towards the guy raising his hands up, he spoke in an annoyed tone:
"Would you mind not doing that? You might hit someone by accident."

Despite the strangest chill creeping on his back, perhaps his underused survival instinct telling him to abandon ship, then make like a tree away from this woman, he smiles back.

After he finishes buying, he finds somewhere for the group to sit down.

Listening to Kenta, he remarks "Huh. So, we'll be dormmates afterall."

"Oh, sorry. Je vais excited." Adrien gave a huge grin.

"Ah. My bad. I don't think we're in the Nobunaga dorms, but then again I haven't fully memorised the school's layout." Masumi shrugged, and began walking again. "In any case, I'm going to wait until after I've checked the roof before I figure it out. We have all day to find the dorms, but it's not going to be long before the roof's closed off."

"Then let's go!" Adrien shot off up the stairs, and a door could be heard opening and closing loudly.

Neku followed, this was either an extreme coincidence or....demons.

Not being interested in the roof, Kenjiro walked straight to his dorm.
He didn't like the soud of what he had heard earlier, though. Would he really have to share a room with those guys?

Masumi was quick to follow the other students, and before long was on the roof herself. It was a nicely sunny morning, and a light breeze helped counter the heat as she made her way over to the edge where the teacher had dropped from- not too close though, she didn't want anyone on the ground looking up and seeing her there.

"Wonder what it was that made him decide to end his life today." She mused, mostly to herself, as she quickly started taking pictures of the scene. She couldn't really see anything of interest, but better to be safe than sorry. "Not yesterday, nor tomorrow...such nice weather, too..."

"Well...Maybe he was pushed? We still don't know what his name is."

"Then that raises the question of why someone would want to commit murder on such a nice day. Really, why does anyone want to do bad things when the sky is so clear..." She looked up, tilting her head slightly as an idle cloud crawled across the blue expanse. "Then again, niceness is subjective. There're probably people who think rainy days are prettier, and that an empty sky is a dull one."

Masumi paused for a moment, then turned back to the roof with a rather embarrassed little cough. "And I got a little off-track there. Sorry. Is there any reason to believe someone- or something- would want to kill that teacher?"

"Didn't you hear the intercom? It was Professor Hata... something. C'est non etrange up here, quois was it?" Adrien sat down on the edge of the roof, and started to draw what he could see. (( Francais: It's not weird up here.))

"1. There's no question that rainy days are prettier. And 2. Possibly sending a message?"

"As for suspects, we can rule out le Freshman classe." They wouldn't hurt him, would they?
