WE'VE GOT SCHOOL SPIRIT!

[makenaide]

With the first term of the school year in full swing, and the first few weeks going off without a hitch, clubs, intramural teams and official sports teams at both Crux Academy and Nebulae Institute have begun meeting for the first time. With a wide number of different extra curricular and other various things to do around campus outside of class, students are highly encouraged to take part in one or multiple goings-on around their school. Both schools will be hosting an involvement fair (at different times, conveniently enough) in order to bolster enrollment in the various clubs or teams, and students are encouraged to at least give these different opportunities a try.

Not seeing a club or organization that catches your fancy? That's all right! Just make one yourself. So long as you have enough members (neither school has gone into too much detail about what constitutes "enough"), and are willing to share--or fight for, as the case may be--club room or field space, then you're set!

Interested in taking a more responsible approach? Various businesses around Galactica have begun hiring part time students. While many of the jobs are more than willing to take on Crux students, there are a few establishments that seem to prefer the cunning ways of Nebulae's student body. These jobs run the gamut between retail, babysitting, hospitality--really anything.

Additionally, the vocational school for monsters is looking for assistance in getting their students real-world experience. Be it helping them terrorize the town or giving them something to fight, this volunteer work is easy enough to find, and a good way to get some real world experience. Participation is highly encouraged.

Tsk. Truly, victory goes to those who move first. [ The essence of 先手必勝! ] That is truly unfortunate.

[ Tsubasa's heart is rent! How could she, who is swift as lightning and faster than the wind, be too slow?! But what's done is done. She can hardly change things, now can she.

But... ] Wait, Nebulae...?

[wishingalone]

Ah? Is that so? Green tea is quite nice. It's sweet, but that helps it compliment different dishes I think.

[Mami smiles, pleasantly; it's an extra challenge to cook with.]

How do you like it here?

[almostanthy]

It's lovely. [ Towa muses to herself, not worrying as much about choosing her words anymore. ] Everyone is so accommodating. I'd no idea my own outlook had been so stifling...

I think I can grow into someone I'm proud of here.

[finalshowjo]

Indeed. Todo Sion, middle school division of Nebulae Institute!

[ Look at Sion. Now back to yourself. Now back to Sion, now back to yourself. What's that you're holding? It's a flyer for the newly-founded Nebulae Go Club, done entirely in black and white! Someone has a fixation. ]

State your name so I may assess your worth as my rival.

[wishingalone]

Mm, sometimes... going some place new is what you need, to open your eyes to more possibilities.

[She nods, happily.] I'm glad you think so. It's what Crux Academy is here for, after all!

[vitallyvitriolic]

[ Plague Knight is just one of those awkward ducks at Crux. Reformed villain, yes, but...he's not exactly heroic. ]

A microphone? Not the oddest choice of weaponry I've seen! [ Well, it kind of is, but he ain't backin down from that shit. He whips out his cane; it's got a sharp, pointy attachment.

He leaps clear with a sudden explosion (he's using the explosion to propel himself. does everything he do have to do with explosions? yes.) and tosses a few bombs at the soccer ball with accuracy, before landing in front of Sion and pointing his cane dramatically.

It probably ruins the atmosphere somewhat that he's probably Sion's height or even a little smaller, to be honest. ]

[1wing]

[ Must you call a sword a sword? ]

Tsubasa. Tsubasa Kazanari. [ Nay, her friends call her Tsubasa. ] PE Teacher.

[ Tsubasa's not going to quite reach for Ame-no-Habakiri yet, but she's obviously suspicious, looking at the flyer in her hand. ]

What's a Nebulae student doing here? Depending on your answer, I may have to take action. The students here are all under my care.

[finalshowjo]

[ Ah. A teacher. Sion stands a hair taller and speaks a mite more respectfully, but only out of deference to rank. Someone as awesome as she is need not be cowed by faculty. ] Are we not permitted to even fraternize with the enemy?

[ She just wants to play ancient board games with her self-declared rivals, gosh. Well, and assess the competition. But nothing more! ]

[finalshowjo]

[ The soccer ball is blown backwards by the blasts, but Sion - even at canepoint - just smiles. ] I won't need it.

[ The ball makes use of the blast to bounce off a nearby lightpost with extra force, propelling itself forward (and denting the post) towards her opponent. Now all she has to do is dodge herself at the last possible second!

Well, that and prepare to sing, just in case. She predicted what he was going to do (more or less). But not having a backup strategy would make her all too easy to read as well! ]

[1wing]

Hm. [ Tsubasa has to consider this for a moment. She wants to protect her students of course, but Hibiki would say that you have to extend your hand to everyone who can take it. Besides, she has reasons of her own. ]

I shall permit it. The children here should learn that they're always living on the battlefield. [ The spirit of JOZAI SENJOU. ] But when you enter the tiger's den, don't regret it when you get bitten.

[finalshowjo]

[ A fair assessment. Sion nods with due solemnity. ] "Carelessness: the greatest enemy". [ Yudan-Taiteki. She smirks. ] Worry about your own students, Teacher.

[ She's doing her best to stay calm, playing it cool. The last thing she needs when facing an opponent like this is to forget these very same rules they're discussing. And yet - and yet -

This is so exhilarating. Sion has found a worthy, equal opponent! Please notice her, sensei.

But what will sensei's next move be...? ]

[indy_wannabe]

Weird. Thanks.

[rememberher]

[ Ugh. Why is she even explaining this to you, it's not like some Piltie really cares about this sort of thing. ]

It's not weird. If anything, it's weird to eat them any other way.

[ It, and by proxy him, is heavily implied. She puts a hand on her hip. ]

I'll have you know that this place prides itself not only on its baked goods, but its jams and preserves as well. So you better not let the owner catch you talking like that, or she'll have your head.

[1wing]

Don't worry, I will raise students who need not fear even the Parade of Hundred Demons. [ Hyakki-yagyou. ] And compared to that, you're still a little too young.

[ She's confident in her ability! Uncle Genjuurou and Ogawa-san have given her more than enough teaching material. In the form of kung fu and period flicks. At least in terms of fighting ability, her students will become top notch! ]

But if that doesn't satisfy you, you're free to challenge this sentinel any time!

[indy_wannabe]

This establishment has strange ideas about paying customers.

[rememberher]

[ Lux looks down at the clipboard, then back up at Haruka. It figures that he would be some kind of team captain. ]

I'm not really all that fast. I'm not sure if you would want me on the team.

[ She was much better with endurance ]

this is so late I'm sorry ;;

[rememberher]

It's our policy, sir. I hope you'll understand.

[ Actually she doesn't, but she also doesn't want to get in trouble with her management. Pulling a pen out of her apron, she takes out a pad of paper as well, ready to take his order.

Then, of course, he drops the menu. On purpose. Eyebrows raising a bit, the blond takes a breath. ]

Of course I can.

[ Somehow she manages to say it not through gritted teeth, but, rather, with a sickeningly sweet, sing-song tone of voice. Which, honestly, was probably more telling of her irked mood. Kneeling down to pick it up, she half expects him to try to put his feet on her now. Try it. She'll get you kicked out so fast... ]

[rememberher]

[ After a long pause. ]

It's a figure of speech. You don't actually think--

[ No, he was yanking her chain, and she could tell that he already had a nice, firm hold. Taking a deep breath, she gave him a rather forced smile. ]

I'll come check on you in a few minutes.

[ Once she manages to get her composure back. ]

[actsmagnificent]

[ A track coach actually worth anything would probably point out she could compete in field events. Haruka just shrugs and smiles. The morning blossoms. ] That outlook's the only thing slowing you down.

[ Besides, that's what practice is for. Lots and lots of practice.

With the coach. ]

[finalshowjo]

[ Sion nods: this all sounds exactly like she'd expected. ] I shall play you a teaching game.

[ In other words, fight to instruct, not necessarily to win. This "Japanese Culture Club" shall be her first target to conquer! ]

[indy_wannabe]

[Fine by him. He's just gonna eat his scone. Like a boss dirty peasant]

[rememberher]

[ Dirty peasant indeed. Returning after a small amount of time to check in on him, she looks down at the table--and the unused preserves and cream--then back at him, a wry look on her face. ]

[indy_wannabe]

What?

[Mouth still half-full]

[rememberher]

[ ...Those were some very well-timed blossoms. ]

Maybe, but I wouldn't want to let the rest of the team down.

[rememberher]

[ Someone was testing her, she knew it.

Someone other than him. ]

I can't help but notice that you haven't touched the preserves or the cream.
