The sun rises over the city in yet another day, warming the earth and calling all living thins to wake. People begin to rise and go about their daily lives, and aside from a spark here and there of disruption, everything is peaceful.

The news isn't pleasant, though. More fires. The police suspect arson in most cases, but everyday it seems like another building is burned down and there are no clues as to the supposed culprits.

An ordinary morning inevitably leads to school, for most people, anyway. For them, the walk to school seems normal, and they might even bump into a person or two that they know.

Like Tomomi, who is walking to school slowly, looking rather preoccupied with something. Or the ever cheery Yasu, who has stopped beneath a tree near the school to look up at a bird's nest, where a mother tends to her hatchlings.

In the school yard, Yori and Tarou are speaking to one another, Yori leaning against the wall while Tarou paces a bit.

Apate

For other sorts, of course, it is a much different morning...

Apate has received a signal to arrive in the park for a meeting. Someone wants to talk to her. Someone important...

Apate

Of course. Someone important... but not someone who was willing to give away information about themselves. Apate gives a cynical little smirk- but only for an instant. Her expression soon fades back to its typical, almost bored, impassive standard. Fine, she'd go.

Apate rises and moves from her apartment, squinting a little at the sunlight. She gives a dark glance at the sky. It would be nice if it were just a little darker. Cloud cover would be nice; it would be dreary to match her mood, and maybe some drizzling would put out all these nasty fires.

Hah. Not likely.

The sunlight beats down mercilessly on Apate's pale skin and dark clothing as she drags herself out to the park. Every line of her speaks of apathy and uncaring contempt of action. She looks like a very stereotypical goth girl: disdainful of the world around her, having angst over nothing in particular.

However, her eyes indicate something a little different. Though her mood, thoughts, and actions all point towards one picture, her eyes are vivid. They are not glazed over and shuffling along with the rest of her- they are alive. Something about them pierced everything she looks at, examining and knowing it, weighing it and contemplating it from every possible angle. On top of that, though one never quite sees it happen, their color shifts continually. One moment, they seemed blue, the next, violet. After that, they might be brown, grey, or even black. Perhaps it was a trick of the light, but in combination with the rest of their qualities, it was highly unnerving.

Apate makes her way into the park, turning her head idly, while her eyes dart around, looking for whoever wanted to see her.

Mariko

Mariko wasn't waking up this morning. She had an early morning shift at the restaurant. She quickly stuffed her apron into her schoolbag and shook off her drowsiness. The morning shift wasn't usually that busy, no one really wanted any of the stale muffins that they served at the fast food place, but she was still forced to remain there for two hours every morning, seriously cutting down on her sleep time. She took the two lunches that she kept in the fridge of the restaurant and put them in her bag as well.

Mariko put her bag on over her shoulder and left the restaurant, walking to the run-down apartment building that she and her sister lived in. She unlocked the door and walked in. "You awake yet?" She asks to the room, putting her sister's bag together.

Shuji woke up and shivered off her thin blanket. Yes Mariko. she called back to her sister. She took a quick shower, put on her cleanest clothes, which were not very clean.

She walks over to the dinner table. How was work? She smiles kindly to her older sister.

Mariko let out a yawn which soon became a sigh as she packed her sister's lunch into the bag. "It was okay. Slow as usual." She sat down at the table and began brushing her hair. She checked her watch, it turned out that she took her sweet time coming back to the apartment. "We're gonna be late. Eat along the way." She said, taking some of the leftover noodles from last night from the fridge and handing it to her sister.

Yamada

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

The sound of the blaring alarm clock always frustrated Isamu in the mornings, especially mornings where he didn't have to wake up at 5 AM for Soccer Practice. His hand was quick when it pressed the snooze to give him another five minutes of time...

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

"Isamu! You don't want to be late!"

Cried his mother, as the alarm clock started up again after taking a five minute break. With a yawn, Isamu pulled himself out of bed, blinked the sleep out of his eyes, and stretched out his arms. It was the start of another good day. He thumped out of the bed, stumbling about his room as he found the rather fastidiously cleaned uniform his mother had been kind enough to clean for him, and pulled it on.

"Isamu-kun! Hurry up!"

He yawned again, and smiled slightly as his cat Clover purred softly and pressed her black-haired body against his legs, nimbly moving between them.

"At least you aren't in a hurry."

"Isamu-kun!"

With a sigh, Isamu Yamada stretched his right leg a little, then his left, and then smiled again before he dashed down the stairs, startling his mother as he grabbed the small box of food for his lunch, and hurriedly put on his shoes; he was halfway around the block when he heard a shout again.

"Isamu-kun! You forgot your bag!"

Cursing inwardly, he rushed back to the house, his athletic prowess coming in handy once again as he grabbed the bag and began to run to the High School; he was running late and if he wasn't quick he might be locked out today...

Shuji takes the cold bowl of noodles, slips her bag over one shoulder, and follows Mariko out the door, almost forgetting to lock it. Wait! I forgot to lock the door. Not that there was anything worth stealing, when the two of them were gone at least.

Shuji turns back. She starts to lock the door, but instead opens it and waits a moment, as if letting someone out.

Then she locks it and catches up to Mariko. And how are you doing Mister Dawkins? She asks no one Mariko can see.

Mariko

Mariko just went along with whatever Shuji was talking about as usual. She had gotten used to her sister talking to herself. She could hardly pay for Psychological help anyway, and it didn't really seem to be affecting her negatively. Still, she hurried along, picking up the pace. She waved to Isamu as she saw him running to school.

[Shuji, Mariko, Ismau, and Everyone Else on the Way to School]

Shuji and Mariko would come upon on Tomomi, walking slowly towards school. The wind gently played with her raven hair as she walked, obviously deep in thought. She was one of the prettier girls in her year, and she didn't notice that one or two of her classmen were walking to match her pace across the street, obviously watching her.

Isamu would run past this scene, turn the corner...

And probably run right into Yasu, standing underneath the tree, looking up at the birds, not noticing that she was blocking the way. If they did collide, Isamu would most likely knock the first year to the ground.

___
Apate

She didn't recognize anyone in the park... which was odd. Bad. Usually these affairs were prompt and brief. She rarely was in this place for more than 5 minutes before she was approached. The people she dealt with didn't have time to waste, usually.

Something was wrong, it seemed.

Sirens wail in the distance. Another fire? And perhaps close...

Maybe her contact had found something else to attract his attention?

Robert Frost

((OOC Note: Just for reference, my character's first name IS Isamu, but most people would address him as Yamada-kun, not probably Isamu. Japanese culture doesn't usually call people their first name unless they're close friends, or family, which is why my "mom" called him Isamu-kun. Just so you know ;)))

Yamada

Isamu wasn't paying a great deal of attention to where he was going, rushing toward the gates at the high school as quick as he could, not paying attention where he was going or who might be in his path when a small~ish first year girl moved slightly from her position underneath the tree (which was beside his path) to a little bit away from the tree, (which was directly in his path) and BAM!

THUD!

"Ouch."

Isamu said as he rubbed his head a little bit, feeling peculiar as he had figured the ground was harder than that, opening his eyes to gain a better bearing...

And staring directly into the eyes of the first year who had been standing underneath the tree Yasu, whom he was now on top of.

Apate

Maybe something had attracted her contact's attention. Like getting set on fire, Apate muses cynically. Then the implications of that thought hit her. What if that really was the case? That would imply some very dangerous things...

There's a bit more urgency in her step and liveliness to her as she walks in the direction of the sirens. She had no reason to believe that was the case, but if it was, that would be a huge concern. But no, she was probably just being paranoid. Maybe her contact was distracted or held up by it, that's all. Still, she moves as quickly as she can in that direction without flat out running.

The fire is still going when Apate arrives on the scene. Smoke is in the sky as a small apartment block sits ablaze. The city's fire department and the police are already on hand to deal with the situation.

Yamada

Yasu looks dazedly up at Yamada, her copper colored hair slightly disheveled from the ungraceful fall. "Y-yamada-kun? O-oh, I-I'm so sorry!" The younger and smaller girl was pinned under him; her bag had been knocked aside, and her books and papers were all over the path.

Tomomi glances and catches the movement from Mariko's hand, moving to fall in step with her and Shuji. "Good morning Mariko. Good morning, Shuji. I hope you're well?"

Yamada

Imasu's red hair soon matched his red face, as he looked at the girl and began to stutter out a response as well...

"I-i-t was an acc-i-dent. I swear!"

Realizing he was still sitting on top of her, he immediately sprung off her and grabbed her hands to pull her upright, before going on his hands and knees to begin picking up papers and the bag.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to run into you, I just was in a hurry so I wasn't late again this year. Are you alright?"

He couldn't remember the first year's name, so he ran through the names of people who he did know in the first year, before finally settling on what he *thought* was her name.

"You're... Yasu, a first year? I'm Yamada, I'm in the Soccer club..."

We Didn't Start The Fire

Apate's eyes see... hmmm.

A man is approaching Tanka Ichiro for the rear, a man she recognizes. A foreigner, simply called by his nationality. The American. A sometime contact of hers, but recently he'd been busy with other things. She'd heard that he'd been promoted to an overseer in his organization.

What that organization was... well, they called themselves the Thule Society. Whether that name had any significance or not was unknown.

He was looking at the fire, looking distinctly unhappy.

AmberVael

Apate

Oh. There he is. Behind that school kid. Shouldn't that kid be in school?
Thule Society... hm. She couldn't recall anything of significance that she'd done for them, but then again, she didn't always remember what she did. They always assumed she remembered though...

She brushes past the kid (not that she looked much older, but appearances were deceiving like that) and sidles up to the American.

"Hey."
She says simply, feeling no need for any further greeting.
"Still wanna talk?"

Apate bounces one of her knees a little in an idle tic as she glances at the fire. It frankly made her a little nervous, not that it showed too much. Everything was burning down these days, and she just knew it wasn't coincidence... and that little feeling in her head said it wasn't typical arson either. Then again, that little feeling in her head said a lot of disturbing things.

Yamada

Yamada was embarrassed. Well, for a few seconds anyway, before his lips curled upward into a smile. Everyone knew his name? Well, apparently Soccer was a fairly effective means to popularity. He had known that he was sort of well-liked by the Soccer club, he did after all win them the championship last year, and people he didn't know seemed to address him frequently...

Yes, he supposed, he must indeed be popular. His eyes looked over the slightly shorter first year, and wondered why she had been standing underneath the tree.

"I'm sure not everyone knows me, just mostly everyone."

He said nonchalantly, voicing his realizations to the world.

"So why were you beneath the tree?"

Though interested in finding out, his mind stayed focused on the bell, he couldn't afford being late again.

Apate/Tanka Ichiro

The American glances at Apate, looking at her carefully.

Then he sneers. "I'm not here to talk to you in the first place."

And then he walks straight past her towards the kid.

Tanka Ichiro will hear a voice call to him. "Hey, kid, got a light?" A man in a leather jacket is walking towards him, black hair somewhat disheveled, blue eyes lit up with merriment.

A muscle in Apate's jaw flexes. Yeah right. If he was this nearby, it wasn't coincidence. If he had gotten promoted, then he would be someone important- he fit the bill all too well.
Yeah yeah, I'm sure you just came by for your daily giggles, American.
Her mental voice projects to him in a scathing tone with a hint of rage underlying it.

Apate's eyes hold on him, drawing everything around them like a whirlpool.
You'll crawl back to me soon enough.
There are many things implied there- and none of them flattering for him.

With that, she looks around once more, and then will head back to the park, just in case someone actually did show up there.

Murmuring her morning prayers, rushing them a bit, she slips on her school uniform and hurries out the door, not bothering to brush her hair. As she slings her bag over her shoulder, she uses the fingers of one hand to smoothe down her messy 'do and hurries along the sidewalk to school.

"Tsuke. Most people call me Sooky because of my dad." It's pretty clear her dad must be an American, from her accent and appearance. She smiles up at the older girl, adjusting her glasses.

Isamu looked at Yasu curiously, then looked up to confirm the existence of the birds nest. Yes, there was a bird's nest up in that tree, and two baby chicks chirping demandingly of their mother bird. If Isamu had to deal with chirping like that all the time he would push the little chicks out of their mothers nest himself, so he now understood why mother birds did that to their chicks.

"Oh, that's.... interesting?"

He said slowly, not sure of the actual interest he would have in that particular activity. Sports or video games were much more fun in his book than watching animals, although that trip to the zoo in middle school where they saw that lion was pretty cool...

"Well I better be off to class... Nice meeting you Yasu, talk to you again sometime."

And with that he darted off toward the school building proper, with the speed and endurance only a star Soccer Athlete could embody.

Tomomi glances around, and then steps a bit closer to Shuji and Mariko. "Hey, um... could I meet with you guys afterschool? I need to ask for a favor..."

They're about 1 or 2 posts of time away form the school. They'll make it on time.

They don't seem to be doing anything odd, just talking. In fact...

Hold it! The hairs on the back of Haruhi's neck prick up. Her training and keen senses smell spirits about, and we're not talking about liquor here.

What kind of training could one take to be able to supernaturally detect alcohol, anyway?

___

Yamada

"Oh, bye!" Yasu waves after him, and stands watching him for a few seconds before glancing at the birds and then heading in after him.

Once inside, Yamada could proceed to his classes and not be late. In fact, despite the fact that he had gotten off to a late start, he was still to class ahead of time.

His hasty entry is noted with a severe frown by Mr. Nishimura, one of his teachers.

Isamu slowed down after he entered the entryway to the school building, going to his locker and quickly switching his shoes with the ones contained inside. Then, went straight to his classroom, one of the second year classrooms, navigating carefully past teachers and students, but maintaining an overall brisk pace toward his room.

It was when he entered that he realized how early he actually was, fewer students being in the classroom, the time on the clock - all indicating that his mother had pushed forward the alarm on his alarm clock because he had been sleeping in too late.

"I guess I'm early."

He said aloud, before heading to his desk. Today was going to be another day at school, just like any other...

There! There's a spirit next to that one girl running into the school!

___

Tanaka Ichiro

The American shakes his head, taking a puff of his cigarette. "Nah, I'm just a stranger in this town."

___

[Apate]

She can approach in this manner successfully. The fire has mostly been contained, and the cleanup work is beginning. Soon, the police will probably begin to more formally secure the area.

Kind of odd how they haven't done so already...

Apate

Without much hope, Apate begins poking around cautiously, looking for anyone suspicious, or a cause for the fire.

Tanaka Ichiro

Tanaka nods, "Tanaka Ichiro," holding out his hand in the American fashion. "What brings you here?"

Apate

Apate can't find anything suspicious other than the suspiciously late police.

Tanka Ichiro

"I'm just looking. Just curious, is all."

Apate

Hmmm. That is pretty odd.
Apate thinks about it, then decides she'll call them up herself, just to see what kind of reaction she'll get.
She flips out her cell phone and attempts to dial up the police.

Tanaka Ichiro

Tanaka shrugs when the man rudely ignores his offered hand and takes it back. "Well... enjoy your curiosity." He turns and walks away.

Yamada

Isamu stared a the note, then stared at it some more. He hadn't ever had someone confess to him before and he figured that was what this was. He didn't know what to expect. Looking around the room he made sure no one else saw the note and carefully slipped it into his bag. Isamu was going to have to ask someone about this later...

Haruhi Inuzuka

Haruhi pinpointing the spirit grows tense. Damn that girl might be in trouble. Following her discreetly Haruhi goes into the school.

Shuji (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7454400&postcount=6)

List of Spirits

Mister Dawkins- Gentle old man. He likes to do nice things for his wife. So far, Shuji hasn't met his wife. But she's sure she is floating around somewhere.
Nariko- Sad young girl who doesn't know she's dead. She only hangs around the school, waiting for Shuji to play with.

:smallconfused: She don't seem to be in trouble.

In fact, she seems to be having a good conversation with the spirit. I'm so glad you're here Nariko. It's nice to have someone to talk to in-between classes.

Mariko

Mariko will walk into school as well, rushing off to her first-period music class. She had to use a violin that some senior left at school over the summer, but that didn't bother her too much. She wasn't too good at it, but she was trying to get better. Busking on the subway was quite profitable, she'd heard.

Tsuke
Tsuke finds her way to her Western Civilizations class on the second floor and slides into an empty seat. An older boy in a leather jacket glares at her and growls, so she scrambles out of it to make a seat for him. Clutching her things to her chest, she leans against the wall to let the other seats fill up before taking someone else's. And tries to slow the pounding of her heart as she mutters a few prayers for strength and wisdom.
