2012, "YOU" Are the future.

Date: December 19, 2012. 9:47

Inoue rushes around her apartment making last minute perpetration for her huge 2012 club bash. White sheets cover the sliding doors which led outside, as well as all the furniture. The white sheets are symbol of the new age and the unknown. The apartment is dimly lite by a 72" plasma Tv which is playing a show on Ancient Aliens, the only other light is the moonlight filtering in from outside.

Inoue is dressed in her school uniform, and she has asked every member of the club to do the same as they have for every meeting. she rushes around placing down fresh cheeses and crackers, as well as pouring club soda for everyone, while sipping from her canteen herself.

The apartment is large and has a full kitchen and bathroom, there are two couches, a love seat and two recliners in the living room areas as well as two white bean bags she bought just for this occasion each with the words "Happy 2012" written on the them in fabric marker.

The tables with the drinks and snacks are located just beyond the tv and living area and are in front of the the sliding doors to the right of it is the kitchen area and rest rooms.

Inoue suddenly hears a knocking at the door and opens it to her first guests ...

You do not have any powers yet, just treat this as the Slice of Life part of the RP.

This RP is open to romance*

Note, I will be gone from 8:30Pm- to 10PM est time so just mingle and talk with your fellow RP-ers.

"Greeting Inoue. The literature club is now assembled and ready to meet the end" said Hajime Azaka, president of the Literature Club and at the same time the entirety of it. Only reason why they had not been shut down yet was because she had managed to snag about four other people to sign their names on the club registration form. She got to keep her club and funding, they got to go home early... Well most of them did. One of the newer members did stay around she had to admit.

Quickly spotting an empty beanbag Azaka hurried up to lay claim to it before there was need to do battle to find a seat "So, nice decoration... looks very... clean"

Will knocked on the door. Was this the right apartment? He wondered. What if it was the wrong apartment? Who would be there? What if he arrived before anybody else? What if the snacks were all too salty?

-*Aaargh* Just. Be. Calm!* He told himself. It was just a party. What was the worst that could happen?

"Yep, A clean state for the new era. Where it be aliens, meteors, nukes, or dragons, We'll be starting off clean." Inoue said as she brought her over a drink, and went over to the knocking she heard on the door and opened it up.

"Glad you found the place, come in snacks and drinks are on the table sit down and make yourselves at home." Inoue said with a bubbly smile.

And I'm off I may be back before 10 fyi

Ian was one of the first to arrive, he always made sure of that. After putting on his uniform, he grabbed his phone and an unsharpened pencil to twirl before making his way to Inoue's home. The only real reason he joined the 2012 club was because the theories and documentaries made about it intrigued him. He never had any real belief that anything would happen on the fateful day, just that life would go on, the world and its people speeding through life.

As he entered the apartment, he gave a greeting to all currently present. "Greetings to you guys: Inoue, Will, Azaka. Let's get this started, shall we?" He scanned the room before seating himself in the other beanbag.

"Getting started on the lazing around? Way ahead of you, Ian" said Azaka as he noticed how he sat down on the beanbag. The contrast between his words and actions proved to be a little amusing to the bespectacled girl.

Jun knocks on the door lightly but firmly, 3 rapid taps. When Inoue approaches the door she breaks out a slight smile and bows her head. "Good evening, Inoue-san. Thank you for inviting me to the party!"

She enters the apartment and greets everyone present as well. She then makes herself a warm mug of green tea and sits daintily on a tatami mat - she's never been big on carbonated drinks! For the moment, Jun is content to observe her surroundings.

Will was glad that he'd found Inoue's apartment but he barely could say Hi before she walked off to attend more club members. Well she'll probably be very busy tonight. so he entered the place.

There were some people he recognized in here and others he didn't. Not being the type to start a conversation, he headed for the snack trays, were he hoped to hover until someone spoke *to him*.

And the crackers were too salty. >_<

"Hello to you too, Azaka," Ian drolled. "How goes the literature club? Found any new members?" he asked mockingly. He always amused himself by flirting/mocking Azaka about her one-girl club, having taken some time to know almost everything about his fellow members. Besides, passive-aggressive sarcasm was one of the few ways he could actually communicate with others.

Takeo took a moment to brush the dirt off his trousers as best he could. Note to self: when jumping out your bedroom window make sure you know how far you are from the ground. Or find a different way to sneak out of the house. Or buy dirt-proof trousers. Did they have those? He should patent that.

Straightening up he jogged down the hall to Inoue's place, then knocked on the door before opening it himself anyway. "Hey everybody!" he called cheerily, promptly making himself comfortable on one of the couches.

"Wonderfully. And no need for new members in the short or long term. Filled the spots left by those who graduated with a couple of first years. The club is nice and secure until I graduate, just the way I want it" Azaka said, proud of her quiet haven of relaxation.

Ian mentally slapped himself for failing to get a predicted reaction from Azaka. Deciding to end the conversation, he said, "Cool. Nice to know you're doing fine." Then he turned his eyes to the TV to watch the show.

Will took a peek at what was on the TV. It was a show about aliens visiting the Earth in ancient times. Figures they'd be running something like that on "doomsday". Well, it was the theme of the party, though to him it was total bs. Should he comment on that? he thought.

(the potato chips, surprisingly, were less salty than the crackers.)

"So, uh... I think that's all fake" William said, to no one in particular. He always had trouble addressing people directly; he hoped this way he would start a conversation. "Even if the Mayans met aliens, how'd they know when the world was going to end?"

"Kyouto Insider, special edition!" Saki announced, bursting through the door without warning. "Hey, guys! I just convinced someone from the Astronomy Club to put his name into the newspaper, though it took quite a bit of... investment. Still..." She reached into her back pocket and unrolled a stapled collection of papers, grinning widely as she pointed to the one on top. "Now, I'm able to say that a 'scientist has officially confirmed the twenty-twelve inferno theory'! We're legit!"

"Oh, I think it's fake too. I just love the idea of aliens. But the clear result will be a spiritual mass awakening where we all return to nature and the ol'ways." Inoue said as she leaned on one of the chairs and snacked on some cheese and crackers.

"Plus it was either this or a Kauji marathon."

Azaka shrugged her shoulders at William's question, though there was a slight smile on her lips "Who knows? One apocalyptic date is as good as the other. One of them ought to get it right"

Then the president of the Literature Club heard a comment from Saki about the newspaper "Oh please, where is your journalistic integrity? You might as well ask for my opinion and say you got an interview with a World Renowned Literary Critic"

"And no. Clearly if all ends it shall result in all myths being true. Mayan Aliens shall fight alongside Norse Gods against demons and the Devil. The Egyptian Pantheon supported by Amaterasu shall keep Jörmungandr busy while Loki slays the concept of evil. Of course we shall all die amongst such chaos"

Hiraku waved to his parents, glad that he wasn't on duty tonight. He'd told him he was going to go meet up with some friends from a club. Which club he hadn't said but that wasn't important. The first rule of 2012 club was that you always wore school uniform (he wasn't sure why), the second that you kept quiet about 2012 club.

He strolled along, pulverising his latest phone game, and talking to some weirdos on the net. He was a little late, but looked like people were still arriving. Like Saki who burst through the door in front of him.

"Saki, that hardly counts, you could've as easily claimed yourself as the scientist," Hiraku said following her in.

Judging from the conversation it was the obligatory theory match, but he couldn't be bothered with it right now. So he sidled over to the drinks.

"Great another Tokyo Fire Ball, well at least were surrounded by water on all sides." Inoue giggled as she pressed up her glasses.

"Here's my journalistic integrity!" Saki smirked, pulling a tightly rolled wad of small denomination bills from her pocket. "Or, rather, here's the profits from it. Lotsa people're reading, and that's what really matters, right? To spread information?"

She grinned widely, pocketed the bills, slammed the "newspaper" down onto a table, and grabbed a chair. "And it does so count! After all, I wasn't lying. They go around calling themselves scientists, so I simply put some faith into the nice gentlemen of the Kyouto Astronomy Club. And that's what we're all about, right? Faith, belief, and all that?"

"As long as that same water doesn't bring our downfall and just serves to extinguish what's left of Tokyo. Just hope the bigger part of the myriad of spirits likes us enough to not cause much trouble" commented Azaka seeing how their host fixed her glasses in position brought upon her the impulse to do the same.

"And no, bad Saki. It was to spread truthful information, you little miss. Now how can I trust your paper the day comes you report a natural disaster incoming?"

"I'm sure those scientists she has faith in will answer the question and tell us when we're all going to die. Just be ready when that faith bites you in the ass" said another voice, quietly entering into the room.

A teenage blond walked inside the room, wearing a big fur coat to keep warm from the cold of the night. He had a long braided single ponytail, reaching down to the bottom of his back.

This person was someone they might have noticed...and definitely not a member of the 2012 club.

Alex Zeros had entered the room.

"why am I even here?" he muttered to himself.

(what are all these people talking about? William thought. He should have paid more attention in the other club meetings. Not that he truly believed the world was going to end, and neither did them or they wouldn't be so flippant about it.)

(then he noticed the newcomer.)

"Well, if you put it like that..." Saki thought for a moment, then stuck out her tongue, marking an X in the air with her finger. "Scratch one reader, I've still got tons more."

Sighing, she continued. "But seriously, I'm just doing what every major news outlet does, and I'm probably doing it much more honestly. The journalist game seems to revolve around finding any justification for your beliefs, any evidence, no matter how far fetched. So long as it's credible at first glance, and so long as it's interesting, then it's fair reporting, right? Besides, according to my unnamed source, the Solar Flare Theory was already being discussed in the astronomy club, so it's not like anything in this article is factually incorrect. As for the flipside... We won't know until the time comes, right? When my faith," she spat," glaring at the new arrival, "as you put it, bites me in the ass. Or doesn't, rather. After all, some of us actually like to believe in what we say and print."

Inoue pulls out her flask and takes a sip, not caring who sees her do it.
