WE'VE GOT SCHOOL SPIRIT!

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.

[ Bringing in stuff to decorate her booth sounds too much like effort, so the Crux Academy Track Team's showing at this club fair consists of a sign with their name on it and...Haruka.

Who is leaning against the wall next to the sign with her arms crossed and her eyes closed. She seems to sense whenever there are Crux students passing by, however, and speaks up. ] Excuse me.

[ She lifts her gaze to them. If she's speaking to girls, a smile touches her face. ] I've been looking for someone like you.

Huh? [Kirie blinks, coming to a stop. Were it not for Haruka speaking up it was pretty clear she was going to completely pass the Track Team 'booth' without so much of a glance. It didn't grab attention so it was easy to not even notice it. Such a lack of effort...]

Like me? [She can't help but point to herself as her cheeks light up for a moment. Those words and that smile...Wow Such flattery!]

I can't say there are many people like me. But its nice of you to notice.

[Kirie returns the smile with one of her own and places her hands on her hips; standing proud.]

We're looking for people who aim for the sky. [ Haruka approaches. Her smile only improves at close range. In fact, the air seems to sparkle around her. ] How about it, kitten? Won't you fly with me?

[ Rose petals might drift across the scene. Or maybe they're imaginary. ]

[This is so sudden. Kirie flails a bit but can't tear her eyes away. How does someone make everything around them seem so dazzling so instantly? Magic? Natural charm? That lazy booth was a trap! It didn't reflect this at all!!]

K-Kitten? Fly? With you? H-haaa... [She repeats, nervously laughing.]

When you put it that way running on a field and jumping hurls doesn't really come to mind as 'flying'.

Do you have any experience? [ The discrepancy between how Haruka chooses to advertise and what Haruka's team will be doing does not appear to make an impression on her. ]

Not...with the actual sport of it.

I had training exercises. When you're fighting things there's always going to be dashing and jumping so of course you have to practice.

[But that wasn't actual track.]

But, sport of that can't be too difficult... Just how good are you?

[ Hah. Haruka cocks her chin up. ] Are you challenging the teacher?

[ The teacher does not seem upset by this.

Instead, the teacher looks interested. And amused.

Incidentally she's a teacher she's bad at mentioning that. ]

T-Teacher...? [Kirie blinks at that; notably looking Haruka up and down in suspicion. She doesn't try to hide it either. Surely their ages aren't that far apart? Is Haruka really a teacher]

I...I didn't know you were a teacher...!! But that doesn't change anything!

[Kirie lifts her head up, a confident smirk pulling at her lips]

Frankly I rely on my instincts so teacher or not; I'll still take you on.

[ Good answer. Haruka matches that expression. Too bad the fair won't be over for a while, but it's not like she has anything better to do... ] Very well.

[ Here, have a clipboard to sign up for the track and field team. ] Tomorrow, after class. I'll be counting on you to impress me, kitten.

[ She frowns a bit at the clip board. Really there were no plans at all to sign up for some lame track class. (Rose petals or not) Challenging Haruka was all she really wanted to do--]

I'll do more then that!

[Really that's all it takes to make her quickly scribble 'Kirie Konami' on the sign sheet before pushing the clipboard back to Haruka. She felt like she was being tricked somehow!]

Don't be late.

[ Hey, you get your challenge. Haruka gets an eager track member. As far as she's concerned, everybody wins. She takes back her clipboard with a smile. ] I'll look forward to it.

[ And she sounds like she means it. Very sincerely indeed. ]

[Okay well...what's done is done and now that that is settled.][She leans towards Haruka curiously, arms crossed]
You don't look much older then me, if at all.

Is that going to be a problem? [ Haruka probably isn't, frankly. But she's used to thinking of herself as an Adult. (It comes with being an antihero.) ]

No, its just strange considering you're a teacher...not just the head of the club.

[ shrug ]

[ For that, you simply get a mysterious smile. ] I hope it won't keep us from becoming close.

...Close? Why would you care about that?

[ Kirie narrows her eyes slightly before stepping foward and pointing at the other accusingly. There's something alluring about that smile and something...just not right. She use to her teammates back home poking fun at her so she's quick to be defensive.]

You better not be making fun of me, Sensei.

I never mock my students. [ Haruka has a feeling she shouldn't push too hard, and yet - if it spurs this girl on to do her best... ] Especially not the dedicated ones.

[ She has high expectations of you, young lady. ]

Oh.... well then...that's good!

[If that's true then maybe this won't be so bad. Still; she can't imagine track being that interesting for the long run.]

W-Well you seem pretty so-so yourself! [While the words don't seem like a compliment; they're meant to be. Everyone is so-so; but there are those that are better so-so then others.]

I don't like weaklings so don't expect me to go easy on anyone. I'll crush anyone in my way!

[ Lux wasn't looking for a new club at the moment, but after manning her booth for a few hours, she was finally allowed a break. Walking around the square, taking in the various clubs' showings. There were a lot more this year than in the past, it seems.

Hearing someone call out to her, the blond blinks a few times, turning. Hey, isn't that..? ]

Huh? Are you talking to me?

[ What a poised response. 10/10 ]

Long time no see. [ Haruka salutes. She hasn't forgotten you, certainly not. ] How's lacrosse?

[ It was lacrosse, right? ]

Oh, we don't meet until March. Recruitment starts after the fall term. Um.

[ What was his name again? ~~And why did she feel slightly flustered that he remembered?~~ ]

Haruka, right? Are you having any luck finding people for track?

Now that I know the lacrosse schedule. [ Here's the clipboard. Want to sign? ] You interested?

[ 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 ]

[ 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. ]

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

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