Muyomi Gate Academy - Disciplinary Committee

"Are you really one to lecture me on the rules, Singham?" Naoki asked, lifting himself from his bow but not bothering to look at his comrade. "It is to be expected of the most problematic member of our Committee, and one of the lesser Students of our school, that you are completely unaware of the effects a metal doorknob can have on a wall with enough force in enough of a span of time. I will not discuss this with you further, perhaps you can ask the Physics 1 students for aid instead of me."

His voice was not one of mocking but of absolute neutrality. This changed when Victoriana spoke up.

"Sokolov, I am aware of what the School Code says about Contraband found on school property. However, do understand that in this case we must commit this necessary evil so that we might know what this illegal substance looks like so that we may follow through with School Code. I am sure that Ms. Lawson would not bring the Sangue Benedetto otherwise, as she appears to be of the knowledgeable and law-abiding sort. Your enthusiasm is nevertheless appreciated."

His tone here was orderly, but it also had a hint of happiness to it.

Mireille let out a sigh of relief "Phew glad to hear. Although you will be much harder to prank that way ahem" The last part was more of a mumbling than anything else. "Oh, and I hope you don't mind the smell of glue and paint, 'cause I think our room will smell like that sometimes."

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

"Appearance means nothing, Naoki." Anushka shot back. "What does someone who is not of the law-abiding sort look like, huh?" She shifted her weight again, bringing it to lean towards Naoki. "I'm just saying, you may want to avoid profiling people, for good or for bad, you know? Cops wouldn't have internal investigation units unless there were bad cops, and I believe that vileness can take any form." She jerked her head at Lawson. "Not that I'm saying you're necessarily bad, but unlike Naoki I respect you enough to judge you by your actions rather than your appearance and reputation."

Muyomi Gate Academy - Disciplinary Committee

"I see you continue to misunderstand, Singham." Naoki replied. "Do you believe me unaware of your history prior to joining our committee? Your father wasn't particularly happy about giving the information (Shame ill suits his features), but it was basically the only reason why you were allowed to join. A shame that you have to continuously disappoint him with the way you behave."

"It's behavior, Singham, behavior. As long as your outfit and accessories are within school code I do not care in the slightest what you wear."

He still did not look at her.

"And as for my use of the word "appears", are you aware of its usage as a synonym for "seems"? Ms. Lawson seems to be the type to be knowledgeable and law-abiding."

Anushka ground her teeth down and gripped the side of her table, but she didn't stand. She was playing by entirely different rules right now, but she was a fucking winner, and she was gonna beat this guy same as she would on the street.

"You're diverting with ad hominem, which I didn't expect. I appreciate that you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty; nothing wrong with bringing a gun to a knife-fight. I'm not sure, but this might even be moving the goalposts too." She finally said. "You said Lawson appears to be of the law-abiding sort, but the fact remains that she said this is what this drug does, here's what it looks like, don't do it, we're gonna find people who sell it though and most definitely just beat them up. You want behavior, let's walk it back to Sokolov's grievance on that, which started this whole argument. We'll get it together, and bring it back to her." Anushka shot a small smile around the room. None of them would have gotten that joke there, but that's not what mattered here.

Muyomi club

"No problem." Adam assured Mireille. He thought he heard her mumble something, but thought nothing of it.

"I'm guessing those...are for models." He added, taking note of her workstation. "Quite the hobby."

Muyomi Club Room

Darian rolled her shoulders, nodding a greeting at Adam as he passed. Adam, that was it. Not the bendy-legged creature from a video game.

When was the last time she'd played one of those? The thought of doing it now bored her, and, by extension of that, depressed her. She punched away the thought, feeling the sparks collecting in her hands. It was only when one escaped- a tiny thing, barely able to skitter before dying out- that she decided to take a break.

Barely out of breath, she was pleased to note. The smoker's curse hadn't settled yet. But God, she could use one right now.

"Want a shot, Adam?" she asked, once there was a break in the conversation. "Adrenaline's up there with caffeine as an emergency keep-awake, if you don't mind the jitters." She grinned. "You, of course, probably already know that."

Adam hadn't needed to say he was an insomniac for Darian to recognise the signs. As much as her blood was pumping, she could still feel the heavy hand of lethargy trying to drag her down.

She looked at the display "Yeah, my mother brought me to it, she owns a local model-store. Thought she'd get me to properly focus and stuff, well I do while building... only then mostly" She laughed "Also its nice to be able to actually see them moving, oh yes I probably forgot to tell you, I'm a Golemancer, I can either create Golems or give live to inanimate objects... like Gunpla or tanks, you may see to what this leads." She pointed at the models "What's your power?"

Muyomi Gate Academy - Disciplinary Committee

Jake had actually sunk in his seat slightly. Not for a lack of wanting to speak so much as all of the older and more senior students effectively battling semantics above him. While he thinks himself the confident sort he doesn't want to spark something bigger, especially with the briggandeer general.

Trying to push past this he looked the guests apologetically, standing bowing and trying to subtly sneak in a question to one of them. "Do you have any leads for us to start our search; locations, names or the similar? A narrower search or at-least one with focus would be easier."

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Disciplinary Committee Meeting

Oh boy. This was what she had to work with. This year ought to be fun, but then it was a challenge, and she liked a challenge. She picked up the pencil and started to balance it again before addressing the whole of the Committee. "Guys, I can appreciate a good debate, but if you don't mind squash it! Now," she looked back over at Anatole "How exactly can we help?"

"Sokolov's grievance has already been acknowledged. In addition, we have already stated that we would aid Ms. Lawson however we co-" Naoki was about to continue with the argument when the Vice President spoke up. He did not speak afterwards, and instead simply sat down in his seat. His attention was now exclusively directed towards their guests.

That argument lasted much too long. That's more time that will need to be reallocated. I will have to think this over while filling out today's paperwork.

Jake looked over to their VP and sighed in relief. That argument was going to just be a headache if it kept going. Jake stepped back a bit and waited for the guests to respond giving a weary smile to Natalie after that mess and then a smile to Maria as she took control.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

"Nice...so, you use magic huh? Neat." Adam remarked "I'm an Esper myself...as for my power..."

The Esper held up a hand and a small silvery bubble appeared floating in the air above it. In his other hand, he retrieved an empty, crushed coffee can and tossed it gently in the air. "...It's called World Eater." With a mental command, the bubble moved to intercept the falling can, and Mirielle would see the metal quickly dissappear as it passed through the bubble. "You can see...the bubbles erase anything inside them" Adam finished, commanding the bubble to pop and disappear.

When Darian entered the conversation, Adam gave her a friendly smirk in reply. "You're done? Sure...I'm game." He answered, and deposited his bag near a free seat. Before walking off to the punching bag, he gave a farewell nod to his new roommate. "It was nice talking with you, Mireille. I'll see you around...roomie. "

"Yup, see ya." She looked as he walked away. Okay, I really need to keep him in a good mood... If he's pissed he could erase my models without problems... She looked through the room again, it was getting quite full now, then again considering this was only a wreck room it might only looked that way. Seeing that currently everyone was minding his or her own business she made her way to her own table again, on her way she passed by the presidents computer, looking on the screen she couldn't help but giggle, Oh prez, you can be such a troll sometimes *Giggle* Well, its not that I'm much better with my pranks.

Getting to her table Mireille decided that she might as well could do something... 'productive' now. She took some of her models out of the shelf, some Soviet and British tanks. She had decided to fabricate another Pocket War, not really as big as her last one was but she didn't want to overdo it. She knew that this would cost mana, but that's exactly why she wanted to do it, maybe she could manage to optimize the mana-flow to use less of the substance for things like that. Well... you gotta try before you can decide. And with that she began to concentrate on the models. Mireille felt that this time a quite sizeable amount of mana circulated through her body. Shortly afterwards the models really came to life. Mireille looked as the tanks waged a small war on her table, she singled out random tanks and tried to sap as much mana as possibly without turning them inanimate again.

Disciplinary Committee Room

That was good to hear that Naoki was willing to offer up the help from the Committee. It would have been better to hear it from Maria, but the boy seemed like he had a good head on his shoulders — if a bit stiff. Anatole looked back toward Anushka, "If I had to guess, it's the Peace Force being pushed to take on a drug war they weren't prepared for — so it's likely the fault lies with Chikyuhime and not Muyomi," Anatole put a hand to her chin. "And I'm not even sure requested would be the right term to use. I know the MPD won't be happy with the arrangement either. Everyone has their pride, and I'm sure they would be able to handle it. I don't know much about how things go in Muyomi, but I've heard the stories about the department here. And to be honest, I'm not happy about being here. Infringing upon another's jurisdiction is already cause for concern, but if you didn't ask for it, no one is going to be happy about the arrangement. The only people who are relieved are the Peace Force members who don't have to go this alone. Requests were sent out for the reserves and volunteers, but no one heeded the call. Between the police department's back home doing their best with what they have and all the funding in the city moving to hospitals and VPM research..." she shook her head. "Everyone is in a bad spot."

"This is an evidence bag," Tomoyomi pulled it out again to show Victoriana. "We were told to show it to you incase you've never seen it."

"It's hard to discern it from normal blood packs if you can't see the strange glow it has," Anatole let Tomoyomi speak up for the contraband issue. "That's how it should be," Anatole gave Anushka a curt nod before looking back to Naoki. Once the arguement ended and the Vice President spoke up, she locked eyes with Maria. "For now, I'd like to take things slow. Get accustomed to your current Committee and start planning from there. Would this be alright with you, Captain?" she addressed Mary, of course. Tomoyomi seemed to agree with the sentiment. Best not to step on anyone's tose. This was their 'home turf', not theirs, so they would have a better idea on how to operate here than they would.

Meanwhile Natalie gave gave Jake another look then a frown. After that she shrugged and walked on out of the room.

The Art Club Room > Outside the School

"Then we'll just have to feed you through your nose," Sayo was accumsted to the weirdness of her younger sister. She was at least four years older, so the two spent all of their time together. Katou wasn't always like this, but as a result of the past, she was broken. "Listen," Sayo continued walking while leading her sister out of the school. Sayo had been given special permission to look after her sister, so she had a special pass card hanging off of her waist on a fell-fastened clip. She's been here enough times to know not to forget to bring the appropriate papers. "I thought about going to see Mom and Dad again," her voice dropped as she slid a glance to her sister. "You remember them, right? Course you do," Sayo didn't wait for a response. If it was a round-about no, Sayo likely couldn't take it. Losing sanity was one thing, losing the love of caring parent's was another.

No. They were both equally tragic.

"You know what? Forget I said anything," better to not raise the possibility of getting hit with that sorrow first hand. "Let's just go eat," Sayo continued on til the two of them go to the entrance hall. Sayo pushed doors open, hoping that Katou walked straight for the car in the lot in front of the school. Hoped.

Archery Range

"This is it," a boy◊ stood outside of the Archery Range with a paper in his hand. It seemed to be a hand-drawn map of the entire campus. "Yep, this is it," the boy nodded before stepping inside. He looked around at the furnished range with a wondrous smile on his face. "Yeah, this looks like it. I'll have to thank him for the recommendation," he took his slip-on shoes off before stepping onto the clean, smooth floor. His eyes locked with Mikael who was already practicing his form. "Excuse me," the boy called out. "Are you the president? If you aren't, can you tell me who is? I have a bit of a selfish request," whoever this person was, they were straight forward. "Oh, before you ask, my name is Raphael. Raphael Marx. I kind of want to join the Archery Club. I don't have much of an opportunity to practice on my own time, so I want to... improve my skills."

Reina's Point of View, Club Room

And the club members go on about their business as they usually do. The beating of the bag wasn't as annoying as their chatter. Maybe I could join in? Beats seeing the eye-gouging pink on white text that the asshole forum moderator thinks looks good. Could go outside, too, but then I wouldn't be able to simmer in my own misery. "We can call the Disciplinary Committee," I look between Darian and the playboy. "Pretty sure going after kids is a felony."

Then Adam greets us with his presence.

"Oh, hey, could you take that thing down? Grates on the nerves," I motion toward the punching bag. I'll catch shit from Darian and him for saying that, but whatever. I'm the Club President. There's a gym in the school too, so she could just go there.

...

I want to go back to looking at the tacky laptop screen, but discussion about abilities came up. Darian started talking, then Mirielle asked Adam. "Can I help you," I stare with as much annoyance as I'm able to muster.

• Should do something for Darian. They do look sort of tired. Maybe a soda or something?
• I'll just watch Merielle's figure show. It's charming in its own way.
• Getting kind of sleepy. I'm just going to pass out here.
• Going to go get that fresh air. Could go it alone, or could ask someone: (Who to ask?)
• Custom

"Hey you! Nano-something or other!"

Katou skipped and bounced alongside her sister, humming quietly to herself. Eventually, she turned to her sister, tapping her playfully on the head. "Eeehe, we can't go see Mom and Dad, silly. They are on vacation, bonding and having fun!"

"Uh huh. I think I can help." Anushka said, to... all of that, actually. At the slamming and the shutdown she just sort of rocked back in her chair, unfazed, and at all this talk of logistics she remained similarly flat. "As Naoki volunteered to the rest of you, everyone knows how I'm supposedly involved in the criminal underground—even if that's none of your damn business." She snorted. "But the fact remains that yeah, I know a guy, and he's overcharged me one time too many. Might be a lead, if you're interested."

"Now that we know what it looks like, what can you tell us about it? Its costs, effects, methods of transportation and consumption?" Victoriana followed up with another question, deciding to let go of the matter of possessing it in the first place. "Are the powers and other side-effects permanent, or temporary? That will help us in tracking down its users."

>I'll just watch Merielle's figure show. It's charming in its own way.

Muyomi Club Room

The Esper hijinks felt like they were calling out to Darian, asking her spark to join in. She wished she could. Sometimes it might come out as a cute little fizzle, and sometimes she might end up frying the entire club room. Best not to think about that last part.

"Alas, our god is a cruel god." Darian flashed a pleading smile at Reina, one that didn't quite sit right on her face. She wasn't one to often bow to authority figures, but sometimes you had to realise who was holding the cards. "C'mon, prez, just let poor Adam have his shot. If we go down to the gym then they'll think he's the newest recruit to my 'totally legit' drug-lord empire."

That, perhaps, was an exaggeration. But it was true that she never received a warm welcome at the school faculties, and nor did any of her associates. She counted her blessings that her Muyomi Club membership wasn't that well known.

Adam gave Reina an unamused look he stretched his limbs to warm-up. "Gym is usually packed...and most the guys who hog the punching bags are jerks. I only go there when the kickboxing is in session...so I decided to install a bag here...with permission." He explained slowly.

Muscleheads keep calling me "shrimp"...it gets annoying really fast. Adam thought to himself. Despite his complaints, he eventually agreed to Reina's request.

"Later...after I go a round." He sighed, and began to assault the punching bag with a surprising amount of vigour.

Ryou was a bit late for his new club. He had spent the time after school ended getting chewed out by Mr. Nozomi. It was totally his own fault, of course. But he had been told to shape up. And this time, y'know, maybe the dude was right. After all, if he got expelled, he probably couldn't get a nice job. So that was why he showed up at the door of the Disciplinary Committee room while the meeting was halfway underway. One of the school's #1 troublemakers joining the disciplinary committee. The irony was not lost on Ryou.

"'Sup, bro!" Ryou said to Naoki. He'd ended up on the business end of the disciplinary committee enough times that they probably already knew him. He figured they'd either let him join in the hopes that he wouldn't cause any more trouble, or blindfold him and put him in front of a firing squad.

"So it turns out if I don't join a club I'll probably get in trouble. Do you guys care if I help you out?" The red headed young man asked. He had that stupid grin he always wore on his face. The one that seemed to say 'when I grow up I want to be a bank robber'. At least he had the presence of mind to not break out the gum in front of the VP. "Taking down a criminal empire? I can be your muscle!" He rolled up the sleeve of his unkempt uniform and flexed, sneaking a glance at Anushka and Maria to see if they noticed he'd been working out.

Ignoring the display of the paltry lumps of flesh that he called muscles, Victoriana slammed a desk in front of Ryou, then threw a chair at the back of his knees. "We are in the middle of an important club meeting. If you need to discuss clerical issues, take them up with Mr. Madeiras afterwards. Until then, sit down."

Ryou found himself suddenly in a desk, his hands obediently holding each other in front of him. Lady must have been a drill sergeant in a past life.

"Yes ma'am." He said obediently, then watched took a notebook from his backpack, pencil in hand. Flipping to a page that he had yet to cover in drawings of swords and stylized letter 'S's, he wrote "Club Notes" in big bold letters, then sat up straight.

"Thank you Vicky." Maria said naturally bestowing the nickname in a cheerful voice. However she was now a little frustrated, though it show outwardly. She remained as cheerful sounding as always. "What she says is true, Mr. Bakudan. Normally you'd just have to wait in the hallway. However, you have unfortunately barged into a rather sensitive meeting. So I guess you'll have to stay until we decide what to do with you." She gave him a cheerful grin to punctuate her sentence.
